I am assuming that editing is what you do most of the time, so
executable size does not matter much. The editor is permanently on
screen anyway. If that is not the case, you could equally well use a
smaller and simpler editor. Besides, the editor could use overlays to
limit initial loading time; a lot of functions aren't used often
anyway during an edit session, and need not be loaded.
So, we're talking about functionality and not size. The user interface
is also of minor importance here, but I agree that it should not be
ignored. For example, to have to wait for a fancy requester window to
come up just to type in a search string is undesirable. The use of a
mouse should be limited too, because you don't want to move back and
forth between keyboard and mouse.
Oh, I can as well mention my personal opinion about CygnusED: I think
it's a great editor for quick editing and *some* heavy jobs, certainly
the best on the Amiga. But there is lots of improvement possible
(maybe not even just improvement, but a completely different editor).

To decompress files with .Z extension, you need to use a program called
COMPRESS.  You should be able to find a copy on wustl.wuarchive.edu or on

Subject:      Philips Autoscan Monitor question

I recently had a hands-on demo of a Philips Brilliance 1709 monitor. It's
an Autoscan, and has the following modes. I'd like someone to tell me
whether or not all Amiga (inlcuding new AA) modes are supported, and if not,
which aren't.

This monitor is a real peach, 17" and at 500 squid, a real bargain.

Specs:
Max Res. 1280*1024
Internal Fixed Frequency modes.
	vga		640*400		(31.5khz)
	vga		640*480		(31.5khz)

	extended vga	1024*768	(56khz)
	hires mode	1280*1024	(61.9khz)
0.26mm dot pitch :-)
15pin d and 5 bnc input connectors
horizontal scanning 30-66khz
vertical scanning 50-100hz

What can people tell me about these specs? Is it compatible? I
*need* to know as this monitor is what I've been dreaming about for
months!!

Subject:      Printer's help

This is the original message I posted to the list:

Dear friends,

     I recently bought a Panasonic KX-P2180 printer for my A3000 16/50.
     This printer is not included in the printer options of the WB 2.04, neithe
r the other options disponible: Epson FX-850, Epson EX-800 (with color option)
and Panasonic KX-P1000 Series (9 pin only).
     We're using it under the EpsonX option, because it is a 9-pin printer.  Bu
t we got problems printing some characters in Spanish (specificaly the 'a', 'i'
, 'o' and 'u' accented).
     Any help should be appreciated.

This is what I add today:

Some people recommended me PrtDrvGen.  I found it at hubcap.clemson.edu in the
directory /pub/amiga/incoming/printer.drivers, as PrtDrvGen.lzh.

Now I found what is the problem, my printer has 13 international character sets
and the one's I'm interested are either 11 or 12 (Spain 2 and Latin America).
Either of them have the characters I have problems with.

But this program (PrtDrvGen) handles only 10 international character sets (from
 1 to 10).

Has onyone some experience with this program?  What can I do?
Which is the newest version? (Mine is around 1987)
Any comments?  Everything should be greatly appreciated.

                                Thanking in advance,

Original_To:  JNET%"I-amiga@ubvm.bitnet"

I have written an arexx script for TERM such that once a program is
downloaded the file would be automatically decompressed into a given
directory.  However, I have noted something strange....

THis is the script:
/* Downloads */
trace all
options results
address "TERM"
Firstdownload
dnld=result
suffix=right(dnld,3)
if suffix='lha' then do
address command "lz x "||dnld||"dh1:downloads/"
end
if suffix = 'lzh' then do
address command "lz x "||dnld||" dh1:downloads/"
cleardownloadlist
end

By the way...there is a typo above....the first "address command" line
should read "address command "LHA x "||dnld||" dh1:downloads/"

Anyway, it seems that eventhough the sufix of a given file might, indeed,
end in lha or lzh, the if-than statements fail!  Why?
Moreover, if I put a command like "COMPARE" between the line Suffix='lha' then
do  and if suffix='lzh'....the script works!  What is going on?

Thanks

Hi,

I am running an A2000HD with 40M hd and 1.3 roms and 5M ram.  I have been
looking into PD programs to backup my hard disk.  I have found ABackup
on Fish disk 706.  I have noticed the following probem,  and was wondering
if anyone else noticed it too:  I would create an archive of a subdirectory
tree, for example, my Aquarium directory, and then restore the directory to
another spot on the hard drive, or the ram drive.  When restoring, I keep
getting a requestor saying that the date of the file could not be changed
back to the original date on the file when the backup was made.  Is this
a problem that Abackup has with 1.3?   The occured when restoring to ram
or the hard disk, and regardless of compression being on or off.

Has anyone else noticed this problem?

Subject:      New amiga's and unix

Hello netters the situation is this


my A500 ( purched with workbench 1.2 ,yes it's that old!) is getting a bit
long in the tooth so I'm thinking of upgrading to a more powerful model,but
the advent of the A1200,A4000 have left me with a slight delimma.
Which one to go for ?
As I don't have the full specs for the new machines re expansion
possibilities / incompatibilities I was wondering if any one could help me

my only thoughts on the matter are
at the moment the A4000 is probably out of my price range
the A3000 has the capablity for further expansion ( Zorro III slots) but
does not have the AGA
the A1200 has the AGA + Workbench 3 but what are the possibalities for
further expansion

Second Q.
in conjunction with buying a new amiga I am looking into buying UNIX / UNIX
clone for it ( no ,well not that much, game playing on this machine)
so what are my options here ?
I've heard of a A3000 that could run unix but was that a Commadore US machine on
   ly
secondly there is a unix clone MINIX for the amiga but I don't know that much
about it

Thanks to all those people who helped me in my quest for neato beneto sound
files.  I now have an extensive and growing library of them.  Soundzap and
Oplay are two great PD programs mucho thanks to the Authors.  Amisox got a
little complicated for the amount of time I wanted to spend on samples.  Anyone
seen any more RenNStimpy files?  I found some, but I'd like more. :> *Greedy I
guess*

AGMSplay is another good sound player, it doesn't do as many types of files as
Oplay, butr it loads them all into memory, allowing the use of wildcards,  and
then plays them.

Could someone do a quick price update for me on the A4000.  What's the base

You know what?  I think that make sense... especially in UK, where
the Amiga is pretty famous already... so people tend to know what to expect...

whereas Commodore PC clones would need some major advertising in order to

I.M.H.O., perhaps he should have gave reference to its appearance (i.e. It

There was a version for the Amiga that's about two or three years old.
It's name was something like AmyGo or AmiGo. Try looking on early Fish
disks.

Does anyone out there know, since the new amigas (4000+1200) have the ability
to use VGA monitors, will a SVGA monitor allow you to display the higher
resolutions? (1024x400, 600x800 etc)

Thanks,

Any file ending in .Z has been compressed with the Unix compress command.  It
has been a awhile since I have worked with .Z files on the Amiga, but there
should be a PD uncompress program around somewhere.  If you have access to an
Unix system type:

  man compress

and you will get all the documentation.  Also, this is not a tar format file.
Tar is a method to stuff multiple files and directories into one file which was
made it easier to stuff on a tape (TAR = TApe ARchive).

I downloaded this the other day...the DMS file crapped out about 1/4 of the
way thru the unpacking, and the LHA file (with the sound) failed also.
Perhaps it was due to the way I have to download these demos (onto a PS/2
then to a 720k MSdog disk, then via MSH to my B2000).

Having said that, what data I did get (about 30 secs of the sound sample)
sounded fine!!!
