It depends an awful lot on what you're writing. TOS calls are mainly to do
with input or output (in one form or another) and most programs will want to 
do something to the input before it becomes output. Exactly how much can vary
a lot 8-)

No they can't, but they won't make them execute any slower either.

Maybe so, but then I never said that. I said that people learning C after 
using basic will often simply write their C programs in a style suited to
basic. This will generally lead to inefficient code. I came into C this way,
and I shudder when I look at some of the stuff I wrote (way back) then.

Reminds me of a quote I saw somewhere:
"C combines the speed of assembly language with the ease of use of assembly 
language" 8-)

When I hook my replay cartridge up to my mixer board, I get radio pickup 
immediately.  (With the computer off)  I am using gold plated patch cords
so I am sure it has nothing to with the cords, and I have had no trouble
with the mixer board in the past with radio pickup.

Ignoring the radio, the samples sound pretty good, but I can't use this as
a real sampler if I get radio in the backround.  How can I fix it?  What 
could be the problem?

When I hook a portable CD player to the mixer board, I get no noise when 
the cd player is on pause.  None at all. What's up?

Thanks for the quick review of the Falcon.  Looking at the list of programs
you tried, you need to get more mainstream ST applications -- other than 
TEX. :^)
 
Have you ever used a Mega STE or TT keyboard?

And a comment about the mouse control, perhaps the problem with the strange
movement of the mouse is due to the Golden Image mouse itself and not the
Falcon.  I have one sitting here on my other ST and I've never liked the 
mouse.  Yes, yes, I know how many people out there just love it, but I think
it's substandard.  I'm one of those people who loves the regular ST mouse.
The main reason I don't like the GI is that when you move it quickly, which
I seem to do often, it skips, which I find very annoying.  Anyway, enough of
the mouse rambling.... :^)

Thanks again for the report.  BTW, how did you manage to borrow the Falcon?

    Is it possible to kick Gulam into a 50 line mode somehow?  I know I tried
the MASTER shell, and it has a 50 line mode, and if I leave that shell and

No, you won't find Aladin on many archive sites for a good reason: it's a

wrong. TVs operate at 60Hz period. what makes them flicker is that
they're interlaced to effectively double the vertical resolution.
a -full- frame is only drawn on a TV every 30th of a second. half
frames (even/odd scan lines) are drawn at 60Hz. scan doublers
-also- work at 60Hz, but buffer the previous half frame and draw
the whole thing in one 1/60 second sweep instead of 2. this is
also the method 'flicker-fixers' on the Amiga use.

if you look at an Amiga's different graphics modes you can see the 
difference between 60Hz interlaced and 60Hz non-interlaced. flicker 
only becomes barely noticable in non-interlace at around 50Hz, which 
is PAL standard. if i remember correctly, flourescent lights also
operate at 60Hz without noticable flicker. it isn't until they get 
old and start 'misfiring' that you notice the flicker.

	I am the proud owner of a 220 volt 520 ST. This system includes 2 floppies
runing off a separate power supply, and an Atari monotor. (note that the computer
itself has an external power supply). The whole lot was bought in the UK a few
years back. Now I live in the USA, and would like to use the system, rather than
buy a new one.

	So I'm interested to know just how easy a power conversion is. Has anyone
attempted this sort of thing? An Atari dealer told me that the keyboard is timed
off the AC cycle which is 50Hz in Britain. But in the USA, the current frequency
is 60Hz. How do I go about handling this subtle problem?

	As you might have guessed, I am not exactly fluent in the electrical/
electronics area, but I'm ok with a soldering iron!

Ah, this time you can't escape - "RTFM" !!
In Gulam, the command
	set nrows 50
will automatically set things correctly for 50 line mode. And on the other
point, I have a simple program that I run in my AUTO folder that sets this
mode. I can post the source and binary if you're interested, it's only
about 100 bytes of object code.

Here's a question for someone - is there any way to make the normal desktop
only use 8 lines per character instead of 16 lines per character, when running
on a monochrome monitor?

The same way they released the Jaguar, Falcon030 and about everything else.
I am still waiting to hear from somebody, "Hey, the Falcon will have a can
opener built-in!"

You have to understand, the Tramiels are very cheap and have full control
over the entire company. Unless they sell the company, nothing will change.
It is very interesting as to ALL people I have argued with over the last
few weeks (at least 4) on different networks, 4 of them are pirating
software and I doubt that they ever purchased their software. Isn't it
interesting to see people flaming me, at the same time I have clear evidence
to who they really are (written proof). I am just waiting for the perfect
moment to appear and exactly the same people will have a VERY nice surprise.

Hey, sure I would love any Atari computer. I wouldn't have to go and search
for a dealer to buy the software, I just download it from a pirate BBS.
This is wonderful, isn't it? Well, that's not the way it works.....

They did make PC clones. The PC1, PC2, PC3 (8086 machines), PC4 (80286), 
PC5 (80386), ABC 286/8, ABC 286/16, ABC 386SX and a few other variations.
Amost all of these machines are CRAP! After this Atari did as many other
companies; used Taiwan vendors to produce a clone with the Atari name on it.
These were the ABC 386SX II and the ABC 386 DX II. (These were of much better
quality than the old ones)!

Early 1992 all PC production and sale/support ceased!!!

	What's the matter with CoNNectAnsi? Personally, I think it's one of the 
nicest small fonts anyones done. Lots of white space between the lines, unlike 
the system 8x8 font. Are you runnning in colour. I noticed that it's a bit 
big in medium rez. There I used the IBM gdos font that comes with STalker. 
I don't know if that's in the STalker demo package, and as I've lost e-mail
contact with Eric R, I don't know how he'd feel about me uploading it to a.a.

	So Eric, if you're reading this, please send me mail with a new address
to contact you, as I have a few bug report/suggetion for STalker 3.02.

As another alternative, you could port the "tos" command from ST-Minix to
your SPARC machine. That would probably take all of 5 minutes, and that
would let you read and write to TOS-formatted floppies, without going thru
the hassle of mounting a fake filesystem.
