I tried PAULA & PETRA & TOS 2.06 on my MEGA ST, too! I had no problems

Are there any capture programs that mimic the feedback calamus expects of a

Hermes will do all that you want. Try looking for HERM104B.TAF on
(preferable German) ftp-Sites!
You are able to used the GEM based Newsreader GUS or the old 'rn' from
the Mercury package. But there is the 'nn', too! After installing Hermes
you should try to install *the* Net Newsreader (current Version 6.4.11

Nah...Amiga was just being 'courted' by Atari, along with Commodore.  I believe
Atari sued on the basis that they courted first, even though Commodore got the

Pretty good summary. I'd just add a couple notes - bare Syquest 44MB drives
are around $300 from various places in Computer Shopper, and bare 88MB units
are only in the $400-450 range. If you already have an existing SCSI drive
setup there's no reason not to buy bare units to just add in. The cartridge
prices have been pretty consistently in the $65-75 and $110-$120 range that
John quoted... Personally I want speed more than portability so I prefer the
Syquest over the floptical technology.

Here's an idea. Forget it. Most games "break the rules" and are so dependent on
the system timing of an 8Mhz ST, that they just won't run in 16Mhz.

Howdy, all!

I have a small dilemma that I thought some kind soul out there might

to the newest version.  Unfortunately, I have several different

One says $15, another $20.

So I guess my question is, how much is the upgrade?  Any help with

I'm trying to use the Resource Construction Set V1.4.
Say I have two trees defined, say a menu and a dialog box, and the dialog box
has on OK button. How do I use rsrc_gaddr to get a pointer to the button?
If I give the button a name eg OKBUTT, the .H file produced by the RCS defines
it as 3, as it is the third object i tree #1 (The menu is tree #0). So
if I do rsrc_gaddr(1,OKBUTT,&buttpoint) I get a pointer to the third object
in tree #0 (which happens to be the Desk menu title). So how do I tell
rsrc_gaddr theat I want to get the third item in tree #1, not tree #0?
Do I have to calculate the offset by counting the number of items in tree #0?
Or is there a more elegant way? Am I missing something obvious?

Hi! As I don't know if you recieved my local message I am posting this
in the news. I have been using the monst disassembler for some time
now and it's really the best i've found in Public Domain. It won't let
you load a code-data file as if it were .prg, .tos, ... but you can load
the data to a certain memory address and then redirect the PC to it or
just look at it with "m [address]". Of course you have to take care that
you don't overwrite some important data in memory, therefore you should
load it to a high address... the screen buffer (normally $78000 or $f8000
depending on 1040 or 520) would be a possible option if your code doesn't
work with this zone of memory.
If what you want to do is some serious assembling with your ST and you
don't mind giving away some coins then I would recommend you (how not...)
GENST/MONST2 wich has some very usefull improvements over the first.

Having just read this months ST Format and ST Review (the best one), I thought
I would post some interesting info.

They say that the Falcon030 will be *widely* available next spring.
(Most of us knew this already) But in a new case.
BTW I thought the specs said the 030 was a 32bit computer, not 16bit like some
people are saying. (we'll just have to wait and see!)

Also a Falcon040 with 32Mhz 32 bit processor + DSP etc will be *released* next
November and be available spring '94.

Also being released at the same time will be a CD Falcon which will have either
a cut down keyboard ie no keypad or F keys, and have a built in CD ROM which
will probably be CD-I compatible.

There was also some talk about the software being produced for the Falcon.
(the graphics look incredible, especially the pics from Legends of Valour!)

By coincidence, I recently asked about it on comp.os.os9 because Cumana
seems to be selling off their OS-9/ST packages for dirt cheap (~$200).

They include OS-9/68000 ver2.3 (one step back from the latest), assembler,
C compiler, a bunch of ported Unix tools, and I think a version of Sculptor
(a powerful 4GL database management system, which used to sell for $1000).

It does not include windowing, but I'm told that MGR is available.  I think
G-Windows may also be had (G-W is a pretty cool setup).  I don't know costs.
Oh.  It does include MIDI port drivers, which the US-sold version from
Microware did not (I've been running their version for several years now).

To answer your other questions, you might ask in comp.os.os9 for a copy of
the FAQ, but in brief:  yes, it's multitasking and multiuser (altho not
super strong on security).  Any terminal-oriented OS-9/68K applications
should work on it (most have been ported from Unix).  The Cumana version
doesn't include networking.  OS-9 is sort of an underground cult favorite
for over a decade, because it's trim, robust, and pretty easy to learn.
It's Unix-like in many ways, but is not Unix.  I own a bunch of OS-9
