   Hi guys, it's me again  @B^, ...

   What are UUENCODE & UUDECODE? I'm having trouble when downloading
files...they arrive fine at my CMS userid, but when I try to transfer
then to a PC (to finally bring them to my Amiga) the software sends me
an error message because it only transfer files that fit in the display
(80 cols) but the files come with more than 2000 cols...will UUDECODE or
UUENCODE solve it? HOW CAN I TRANSFER FILES TO MY AMIGA ??
   Please help me  <:-( !!

Well get redy to bust that limit. Next year the FCC name
the HDTV standard for the USA. After that you'll have 5 years
to learn it, because thats all that will be on the air.
And the only computer that can put out a HDTV picture that
I can see is the A4000.

Remember that an A/D converter will stamp a number every
                                                  ^to
pixel. And with and all digital system, HDTV, you can
bust that limit.

Oi,

        Existem VARIOS livros a respeito do Amiga no Brasil, basta procurar
bem (System Programmer's Guide I & II, Amiga Assembly Language, etc). A
menos, e' claro que voce esteja se referindo a livros em PORTUGUES...

        DMS e' a abreviacao para "DiskMaSher" (ou coisa parecida). E' um
compactador de discos, isto e', ao inves de compactar arquivos isolados, ele
le um disco inteiro para a memoria (as trilhas) e gera um arquivao com essa
informacao compactada. Dai voce pode descompactar em outro lugar e gerar um
disco identico. Geralmente se usa para enviar coisas "nao-DOS" por mail.

        Abracos,

Has there ever been a game which uses MIDI to provide the background track ?

Check the *real* location of dcltables2.exe -- since sys$library is a search
list pointing to both sys$common:[syslib] *and* sys$sysroot:[syslib], you'd
better use the following form for the SET COMMAND command:

$set command/remove=ftp/table=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables -
/output=sys$common:[syslib]dcltables2

Apart from this, I believe that the old dcltables.exe must be de-installed
($INSTALL DELETE etc...) and the new one installed in place of the old
($INSTALL ADD etc...). Let me know whether you are being ok in doing this.

The requirement of abstaining from meat on Friday, which was drastically
modified, but, contrary to what many people think, not abolished, was
a matter of Church law, not God's law.  Because the Church made the
law the Church had the authority to change it.  Laws made by God can
be changed only by God, and public revelation ended with the death of
St. John the Apostle, so that won't happen.  Because Friday abstinence
was a Church law the act of eating meat on Friday was not wrong in
itself.  The sin was one of disobedience, of willful defiance of
the legislative authority that Jesus gave to the Church.

Haig Kasab made some statements about the separation of church and
state, which went considerably father than the actual court
precedents.  Steve Creps now wants to give up on the ACLU because they
(supposedly) support the sort of things Kasab talked about.  Those
things are not illegal, and the ACLU doesn't oppose them.

Religious groups can certainly practice their religion in public
spaces, on public property.  Here in Boston, every Palm Sunday, the
liturgical (mostly Episcopal and Catholic) churches near downtown
gather for a joint blessing of the palms in the Boston Common and then
individual processions to our various churches.  As I pointed out not
too long ago, public religious processions also require no permit and
can block traffic--all because religion can't be regulated.

A glance at the fundamentalist preachers some Saturday night in
Harvard Square (who, by contrast with the street performers, are not
required to obtain a license) will make it clear that religion in
public spaces is fine.

Moreover, the ACLU has never opposed this sort of thing, and has even
stood up for it on occasion.

The specific occasions in question are using religion as part of
public services at which people are (essentially) obliged to attend:
graduations, school-sponsored sports events, etc; and the use of
public land for religious displays (things, not people).  So, its fine
to have a Christmas service on public land, but you can't set up a
creche there and leave it.

It's a question of equality.  Anyone can gather in the Boston Common
for just about any purpose (even grazing cattle).  But nobody is
allowed to set up displays and leave them.  To make an exception for a
Christmas creche would require an exception for any group, of any
sort, that wanted a display.  That's not reasonable, so instead, no
such displays are permitted.

I won't speak for Liz, but as far as I've looked into the New Age movement
and belief systems, the overwhelming similarity between all the different
religions is that the New Age is a totally different change (Age of
Aquarius, so it's rooted quite a bit in astrology) in the universe.  It's
an age of peace and cooperation.  It is described that we are currently in
the cusp between two ages, so there is unrest.

Most of the New Age followers are interested in personal spirituality,
earth-based/nature-based, and have many different ways of practicing that
spirituality.

Other than the exploitation going on ("Dial-A-Psychic"), these people tend
to be very peaceful and considerate of others.

And no, not everyone involved in the movement (if it can be called a
movement) is interested in crystals and pyramids.

   This was addressed to the other Steve, but I'll take a shot.

   J.J., why must it be assumed that the hard hearts belong to the
hierarchy?  Could this not be turned around: "If some people have such
hardened hearts that they will not accept the grace that will melt
them," [ I'd rather phrase the "grace" part like this ], "then I don't
think they are the faithful that Christ intended."

   You are making the assumption that the Magisterium of the Church is
wrong, and these people in favor of women's ordination are right.
Let's continue this assumption to its logical conclusion.  If the
Magisterium cannot be trusted to be right on women's ordination, then
it follows that the Magisterium cannot be trusted to be right on any
particular matter relating to the Church.  Therefore, anything anyone
wants to believe is OK.  The Eucharistic need not be the Real Presence
of Christ; it can be whatever we believe it is.  Christ need not be
God; He can be whatever we believe He is (or was).

   The problem here is that we cannot make something so simply by
believing it is so or saying it is so.  When we try to do that, the
only result is a lie.

   If we apply this to the idea of "trying something new" with respect
to trying to ordain women priests, the point is that just saying they
are priests cannot make it so, just as an unordained man proclaiming a
piece of bread to be the Eucharist will not make it the Eucharist.  If
beloved Uncle Joe dies, we may wish with all our hearts that he were
alive.  Alas, all the wishful thinking on our part in the world will
not make him alive, nor will it let an unordained man confect the
Eucharist, nor will it make women priests.

   Therefore if your point is "what harm can it do to try something
new" with respect to women's ordination, the harm it _would_ do is
that it would deprive the faithful of valid sacraments.  Aggravating
this harm would be the belief of many that the invalid sacraments they
were receiving were valid when they were not.  It would be little
different than the situation of the imposter "priest" who showed up
outside the Democratic convention with a "portable confessional."
