Subject: New year Elm (1.18) now available via Anonymous FTP and Mail-Server
Organization: Techn. University of Berlin, Germany
Date: Thu, 31 Dec 1992 13:01:32 GMT

Greetings and salutations,

a new release (1.18) of "Amiga Elm" (an AmigaUUCP electronic mail reader)
is now available for downloading via Anonymous FTP (Internet) and "normal"
E-Mail from:


        ftp.cs.tu-berlin.de [130.149.17.7]
                get /pub/amiga/uucp/AmigaElm118.lha

        mail-server@cs.tu-berlin.de
                send /pub/amiga/uucp/AmigaElm118.lha

... and of course:

        amiga.physik.unizh.ch [130.60.80.80]
                get /amiga/comm/uucp/AmigaElm118.lzh


"Amiga Elm 1.18" runs with all known UUCP packages for the Amiga.
It runs on any model and with all operating systems >= 1.2, but
you will need >= 2.0 to use it without limitations.

Metamail is also available on our server ...

If you're not familiar with our mail-server, do the following:

 1. mail to "mail-server@cs.tu-berlin.de"
 2. write "send /pub/amiga/uucp/metamail-2.3a.lha" in the mail body
 3. stand by ;-)

Really easy, isn't it?

Please, send bug reports and mail with regard to my version of elm
to "elm-fan@zikzak.in-berlin.de" only.

                Have a nice day ...  Andreas

or better make it work like the UNIX version (ie UUCICO should not do
the work, but create a work file for uuxqt with command uucp)

^^^^ This your problem. 

The grouplist must be SORTED. I don't know if this requirement was newly
implemented or newly enforced, but I experienced the same problems you
described until I read the document quite carefully. Prior to ARN 1.00,
my unsorted grouplist worked fine.

Naw. We already don't have .applications.datacomm or

     I was just curious to know if anyone has tried setting up ARn v1.00 as a
newsreader on DLG using AmigaUUCP?  I'm currently using TIN as a newsreader
but like some of the features and look of the ARn reader.  So far, I've got
ARn to work great for just reading articles, but when I go to post an article
or reply, ARn runs the editor specified by AUXEDITOR and then exits to a
shell prompt which freezes the port.  If anyone has any batch files or DLG
scripts that work with ARn, could you e-mail them to me?  Thanks.

  I have not seen Arn yet, But I just setup TIN and still have yet to play

Date: 22 Dec 92 00:15:40 EDT
Organization: The Other Side of Life


  I am trying to use ARn, but I have a bit of a problem.  Whenever I start
ARn, it says:

arn: Info: rec.arts.startrek.info is an obsolete group in GROUPLIST (deleted).
arn: Info: rec.arts.startrek.misc is an obsolete group in GROUPLIST (deleted).
arn: Info: rec.arts.comics.xbooks is an obsolete group in GROUPLIST (deleted).
arn: Info: alt.folklore.urban is an obsolete group in GROUPLIST (deleted).

I haven't the slightest idea why.  I read over 40 newsgroups and it finds
all the other groups fine except for these.  I am using ARn with UUCP d1.16
and have followed all the directions.  When I ran ArnMaster for the first time
it saw all the articles in those groups  (and in all the others) and built
the .newsdb files in all the directories.  It lets me read, manipulate, etc.
all the other newsgroups but these four.  There is nothing special about them.
They all exist in my ACTIVE file just like the other groups, and they are all
in my .GROUPLIST like the other groups, except Arn refuses to treat them 
normally, refuses to let me (re)subscribe to them, refuses to update read
articles in them and so on.

In my .grouplist, these groups are entered as:
rec.arts.startrek.info: ;8;
rec.arts.startrek.misc: ;9514;
rec.arts.comics.xbooks: ;3351;
alt.folklore.urban: ;385;

A typical "normal" group shows up as:
alt.fan.mike-jittlov: ;862; 671-862

I've tried adding the final field to the 4 groups in question, but ARn 
ignores it and re-writes in what you see above.

And unlike the entries in .grouplist, these 4 groups' entries in 
ACTIVE *do* show the correct first and last article numbers!

Any ideas on what I can try?

Any help would be greatly appreciated -- thank you!!

This is what I use.

I just recently upgraded to a 68030 and I've gotten a few 80000002's from
this (EXECUTE failure). But I don't know why. (I *JUST* upgraded -- I'll
be finding out, I assure you....)

This takes some non-standard stuff. like printstack, and renaming uuxqt to
uuxqt.real, etc, etc.

It would be helpful if you told us:

        1) what kind of crash,
        2) what kind of machine, and
        3) what OS level.

	I just bought a Supra 14.4 modem to replace my 9600 Cardinal
V42.bis modem. But now I am having problems connecting. Well sort of....

I want to connect to my parent node at 14,4 BPS but when I connect I get
garbage! Now if I have MNP and ERROR CORRECTION on I can connect at 14.4
but the rates as you know are worse then 2400 baud modems.

I can also connect at 9600 without a problem but I want to take the full
advantage of this modem! Does anyone have any ideas or fixes or anything
else of that sort.

That's not exactly true. Even if you would define a waveform as the one cycle
of a repeating wave, you can have hours long waveforms, and they would not
repeat themselves.
Any sound can be represented mathematically, some (or in fact most) will just
be too complex to have any use for a mathematical definition, as you can save
space even by digitizing it in 100kHz 32 bit...

What about the "attach" bits in ADKCON?  I thought they were used to
modulate one channel with another (either volume or frequency modulation),
disabling the normal sound-producing function of the modulating channel.
Of course you need some software initially to set the bits, but the
hardware takes it from there.

Could you clarify further? I have a 500 with the Agnus activated by someone
else before it became popular to do so (read: I didn't do it and don't know
how it was done), I do have a Microbotics 501 ram card in the bottom so I have

     Those Criti messages are about AUDIO stuff. Some big arguement that
SONIX doesn't use digital sound. Geez someone started that, and it has
carried on to BOREDOM! I'm really glad you had the guts to post something
non-criti... geez I try to avoid that thread now. 
 
   I was just curious does MegaWatts just produce Pro-tracker disks? Or
do you guys make some stuff with some animation..etc Noting from your
name, you guys tend to be more into music. Then animation..etc  
 
   Do you guys use you're own music routines, or just stick to Pro-tracker?
Cause lately I noticed some demo groups are not using Protracker
etc..lately.. I have a feeling they are using MED, but perhaps there is
something
out there, which the general public do not have. Luckily with the action
replay I noticed this. When ever I see audio routines I usually shy
away from them, have no real interest. Personally I think PRO-TRACKER is
good enough, just needs MIDI improvements. 
 
   C'ya around, and hopefully new subjects will appear in this echo. None
of this 'Criti' stuff..heh.

flag(?)...then some line in another language and then it crashes. What's up?
I'm running an A500 w/ activated Agnus(of course) and 2 megs of fast.

Also...I've DL'd issue9-1.dms and found out that to do anything I need 
disk 2! Can anyone help out here...the only place that I've really looked
has been at wuarchive along with the phyzik mirror.

Thanks for any help...

Has anybody gotten the newest Sanity demo to run (sanity.dms?)
I've tried several times, with every sys. configuration I could think of,
but it just boots up for a second and then just sits there. Any help?
