Didn't you receive my email ? Anyway, here goes:

Are you using V3.6 of ParM (Fish 649) ?? If so, this is really strange, since
I have no problems attaching ParM to the Workbench menu - ParM MYMENU.

Are you also sure your S:ParM.cfg is OK ??

Try re-reading the docs as a last resort.

This is called the AS225 package from C= and it works with the
Ethernet board from C= (which they took from Ameristar).
The current software can mount remote disks via NFS, you can use
ftp/telnet rsh and rlogin. It currently does not act as a NFS server
and you can't telnet/rlogin to the Amiga (you can use ftp and rsh).
The next (and first) update will add the missing capabilities. I expect
the update to be released in the next month.

Well, I think'll shoot myself now...

After posing the original question (my ParM wont find WB), I went home and
tried all these wonderful suggestions...

After the nth unsuccessful try, I glanced at the command line output and
noticed the little 'V3.0' that floated about in there ....

*bonk*

After getting the CURRENT version (3.6) and throwing that in WBstartup, I
have NO problem....

Gosh, I must be getting slow in my old age....

I beleive that the "ANSI Libs" supplement to 5.10b is an example of the new
manual, and it looks pretty sharp (although in the version they sent me, the
"[]" chars were printed in invisible ink, and it lacked an index).  If this
is what the new manual will be, I don't think there will be any problem.  
I seem to recall from my "discount cupon" that I received with the libs
supplement that a new manual is part of the package.

In my investigation into whether to buy this program, I heard
that version 2 is probably in the pipeline - NB this is only
of RUMOUR status (just one up from humour status).

BTW it was impossible to determine how good the program was
from the demo disk, so can you tell me whether you recommend
it. Is it fast? Can it handle large text files? Can it take
in 24bit iff images and print them?

	For your first question, a couple of us in Windsor got our notices
almost two weeks ago, but I haven't tried it yet as I haven't got it yet.
	As for your other question, I'll type the paragraph dealing with
System Requirements, from the notice.

                 SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (FOR SAS/C VERSION 6)
To run the SAS/C Developement System, an Amiga computor is required
installed with AmigaDos version 1.2, 1.3, 2.0, or later versions. The
System requires 1 MB of memory, but some features are only available with
2MB or more of system memory. A hard disk is recommended, but the System
will work with two 880KB 3.5" diskette drives.

COST:	395.00 US for a new user.
	109.00 for an 5.xx upgrade user.
	 82.70 for an upgrade user who has that coupon that they got with
	       the ANSI-compliant library purchase. Don't you wish you
	       kept it now? Plus any applicable taxes of course.

	I think that covers most of your questions, the features would take
to much time to type out, for a two finger user like me.

Organization: MIND LINK! - British Columbia, Canada

  For those that have had the blank page output problem
when printing Excellence3 files here is the solution.

  Due to the different colour mappings used when operating
under WB1.3 and WB2.04 AND the differences between ver2
and ver3 pallettes in documents, some or all of you ver2
documents may print in white on white - ie as blank pages...
  According to MSS, the solution is to go to Excell preferences
and interchange the pallettes white and black by moving the
sliders.  Your text background will automatically go back to white
but the requestor text will change to a new colour indicating that you
have changed the pallete.  Now the "print ink" will be black for this
document anyways.
  I have found that ver3 seems to treat postscript font scaling
differently than under ver2.  The SCALE=72 tooltype and the pitch
settings are identical on my two versions.  However the letters
are all squashed, and without legible spaces between words under
ver3 even though they are fine with the same font under ver2.
  Having the SCALE variable embedded in the tooltype seems
like a real loss of control since one has to restart the program
inorder to change it.  THis should really be in Page Setup.

CAD and other prgs like finite element analytical software packages are
scarcely close to non-existent on the Amiga.  Even standard graphing 
utilities are of shortage...  I consider Multiplot (shareware) and
Pro-Calc to be the better of the lot.  I wouldn't consider any of this
stuff unless you have a flicker fixer and an accelerator.

I recently upgraded my version of the communications program
VLT to VLT5.576 ... I then found I needed the rexxarplibrary so I got
that via ftp... So now I can run the Phone book application.

But when I try to get it to dial something it doesn't work...
Does anyone have a clue how to get it to dial a phonebook entry?
I've created an entry, selected it and then choose the start dialing button
but nothing happens. NO sound on my modem ...  But if I type my atdt string
it works... so ...????

Thanks! Pam
