Correct me if I'm wrong, but didn't some nice individual offer to upload
two of the "missing" Mahoney&Kaktus musicdisks?  It could be that they're
already out there...but I only frequent amiga.physik and wuarchive :).
Anyone have news on this?  I'm getting my bulk supply of disks soon (heheh)
and want to have something to download until the 30th ;).

    The "waveforms" that you are talking about are actually samples
    generated by sampling a waveform equation. The C=64 SID chip is
    the sort of thing that uses real waveform parameters.

    When the Amiga first came out, I was disappointed that it didn't
    use a "super-SID" like a souped-up C=64 would have, instead going
    for simple sampling. In the end, it turns out using samples is
    better, eh?

Well, thanks to the kind person (SauberSound...Organizer for PartyII) who
uploaded all the stuff :).  Ah, but there are some things missing, I think.

1) I was quite positive that Epsilon (hello! :) was supposed to enter an
   Intro.  You appear to have uploaded every single entry (not just the
   best few) so what happened to it? :)
2) 2nd hand info (and confirmation in a previous issue) says the new
   EuroChart was released at the PartyII.  That one doesn't appear to be
   in the "Other_Releases" dir yet...
3) The intro called Oxygen.Intro (listed as number 24 [ooh, yeah :) ])
   is not present yet.

I just thought I'd say it now so whoever is taking care of this stuff
will know asap :).

Well I think it's about time I got this demo running on my Ami :).  Sadly,
the 2nd disk archive is larger than an Amiga-formatted disk can hold...
it's sad because MOST people with Amigas DON'T have hard-drives or more
than 1 meg of ram.  Sure they have 2nd drives, but does that help in this
case?

If someone is feeling extraordinarily Christmassy right now, could you
PLEASE rearchive the 2nd disk and upload it in two parts?  I surely
cannot be the only one who has encountered this unusual problem.
If it helps, just upload the 2nd half of the 2nd disk; all I have to do
then is download the original >900K archive and abort it halfway through :).

Hmm... before my friend visits this Xmas (and tries to copy all my demos :),
I wanna get a working Hardwired disk 2.  (The original uploader of HW
apparently installed a [heheh] VirusChecker on the bootblock, trashing
the raytraced animation data).  I know someone has already uploaded the
working 2nd disk (albiet the WHOLE disk instead of just the first block :),
but I didn't grab it (mostly because it was a bit large for just an anim :).
I recently tried the 2nd disk in the wuarchive archives... and it's the
CORRUPT VERSION!  I think there aren't any other versions out right now...
so could someone please dms the 1st track (not block, sorry :) and UL
it?  I'd appreciate it :).

Haven't we discussed this already ? Do your news-server have a delay or what ?

Yes (as a nice person clarified to me) you can use one channel to modulate the frequency
or amplitude (both ?) of another channel. ONE of the four channels cannot be modulated,
I think it's channel 3 (1 modulates 0, 2-1,3-2). Still you provide the data (thats
'samples' to me) for the modulation. (I think there's a limitation to this data -compared
to just using a channel 'as is' to play a sample) I am right ?

The RSI Demomaker needs 1 Meg memory, but it insists on 512 Chip
and 512 Fast. So you'll have to get some fast mem to be able to
run it. (At least that's what I read in a magazine about two years

Thanks for the help!  Hmm... however, I did download the disk and decrunch
the first few tracks to my original Hardwired disk2...and it's not fixed :(.
Anyone: am I correct in assuming that the first track would have the

I am looking for a Vedic/Hindu Astrology shareware
computer program. I have heard there is at least
one on the bbses ... somewhere, but don't know
where. Any help here will be most appreciated.

We invite further comments on the winter quarter calculations that appear on
alt.religion.sabaean

Sabaeanism is a religious philosophy that identifies ourselves with the
stars and believes that "from out there, we all once came".

Sabaeanism further believes that this religion is an inheritance from
extraterrestrial persons and their philosophy not deification of them as
gods.

Sabaeanism values the observations of all the inhabitants of this planet and
their serious reasoning of such observations. Sabaeanism however does not
give importance to prejudiced, biased morality but rather encourages the
evolution of observations by which we can evolve our "souls" so we can
be released from this incarnate condition to once more return to that where
we once came from.
