Subject:      novice user ?

HI.

I'm a system analyst and i was going to buy a PC compatible, but since
i knew the AMIGA I'VE CHANGED MY MIND.
So i got some questions, and i hope you can help me.

1. The AMIGA can emulate a PC. What is available to emulate a PC
on the AMIGA ? Is it possible to emulate a 386 with SVGA ?
(Please, tell me what is the hardware and software available at the
USA and if possible the price.)

2. What are the databases available for the AMIGA ?
Is there something like CLIPPER or SQL like ?

3. Is it possible to exchange files between a PC and an AMIGA?
If so, what is the hard/software necessary/available?

Thanks in advance,

/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\/\

Hey Erik,
Nice signature AmigaMan. I have, as you know, an earlier version 1.9 of term and
the VT100 as well as VT200 emulation work just fine. Try them. BTW, where did
you download Term 2.3?

Goncalo,

        Yes.  The program allows you to read 720k msd*s disks directly on your
amiga's drive.  You don't need any translation to amiga format.  The program
is able to directly read/write to the disk.  It runs about $25US mailorder.
If you don't want to spend the $ or can't find crossdos down there, there is a
PD program called MSH that works great.  Setup isn't as automated as crossdos
but it's free and does the job!  Hope this helps.

okay - here is my question:  I have been setting up my amiga with the new 2.0
types and convereting my old 1.3 setup accordingly. (yeah I am slow - the day I
purchase 2.04 was the day 2.10 was anounced. :)  anywho - my problem is I
used new-list before 2.04, and actually created a directory called ENV on my
hard drive to accomidate it. (with the assign of ENV: to it)

while fixing up my stuff, I noted that C= set up Env: to ram:env.  why are
they shoving it into ram?  also - when you update your stuff - wouldent it
get lost if you have to reboot?  I mean, why didnt they just create a new
folder?

You CAN do it with the version command, but you must use the 2.04 not the
1.3 version command. F.e.:

  failat 21
  version >NIL:
  ; The 2.04 version commands returns with a code of 20 when Kickstart 2.0
  ; is not present. So this call fails on 1.3 (this is why we have to use
  ; failat 21).
  if warn ; not sure about 'warn', maybe it's 'error' or something else?
    ; here comes the 1.3 setup
  else
    ; here comes the 2.0 setup
  endif

Hope this helps,

Oh gosh....I know there's a place in Southern Washington (mail order) that
sells used s/w and such pretty reasonably - with a good selection too.  I
chucked my catalog from them, I'm sorry to say, but I believe they were
Software Support International.  I might be wrong.  I believe they were
either based in Yakima or Vancouver...the latter, I think.

Sorry I couldn't give any more information, maybe someone else here might
know a bit more... (??)

Chad

PS: Are you getting these games for the music?  I know Aunt Arctic
Adventure has really cool music, and I think sarcophaser does to..I seem
to remember some sort of correlation between the person who did the music
in Sarcophaser and (perhaps the author?) of Noisetracker.  (Are they the
same person?)

GRIND.ISCA.UIOWA.edu has just about all of the Fish disks.

ftp grind.isca.uiowa.edu
USER: anonymous
PASSWORD: your email address
FTP> cd amiga
FTP> cd f6
FTP> cd ff600
FTP> mget

the above sequence would get you logged in, and get you all of fish disk
600.  You might want to check for any specifics to your ftp client software.
Try 'help' at your ftp prompt.

Good Luck.

On BitNet, discussion groups are maintained by a facility called a ListServ.
Individuals subscribe to the discussions they are interested in and receive
messages from the discussion groups as individual mail messages.

Usenet News is a hierarchial topic list with seven main topics.  Individuals
do not subscribe to an individual newsgroup and received it as mail messages.
Rather, the system maintains the newsgroups for all users.

In the quoted example above, some bitnet listserv lists are gatewayed onto
the local usenet news system and appear as usenet newsgroups and appeared
under the "bit" main topic area.

BitNet list messages propogate through the network as ordinary email messages.
UseNet newsgroups are transferred over the network using other protocols,
for example on Internet, the Net News Transfer Protocol is used.

You might want to ftp yourself a copy of Zen and the Art of the Internet
and print it (its postscript).  There is a chapter devoted to "What is
Usenet?".

Hope this helps.

to Fabian, so maybe you could tell me more about it?
        Specifically, I was wondering:

        What else would I need to add on  (ex. additional monitor, HD, SVGA
card etc?)
        How good an emulator is it? Or would I be better off buying a 486
33Mhz compatible instead of a Amiga 3000 or 4000 with a bridgeboard?

Okay - heres a question. :)
 On the IBM world - thier "Windows" program has a win.ini file that tells
about various aspects of the computer.  one of these is the ability to assign
types of files to programs.  An example to this is you can set .doc files to
word, and .GIF files to gifview and .txt files to notepad and .wav files for
your soundblaster card.
I am courious if we have such a thing available for the amiga?

I am not a big icon fan - expecially in directorys of over 100 samples, or
my docs directory, so I have no icons there and I show by names.  Now if I
click on one - a window will pop up with a string area to edit so the amiga
can launch it.  I assume there is some checking there to determine if it's
a job or not since programs dont get the window.  I naturally assume somebody
noticed this and has developed a deamon that will then see what type of file
or possibly just watche the .extentions for the correct thing.

Well - :) has anybody a clue where/if I might find this, or is this just
a new concept?
  Thanks for help in advance

Can Japanese be written with "English" letters? If not, I guess there
is a real problem making AmigaDOS capable to support Japanese.

Anyway... I have not seen Japanese on WB 2.1, but it does include
many other languages, some of which I remember are:

English, German, Spanish, French, and a language from the northern
European countries (Swedish I think...).
