Originator: hlab@stein.u.washington.edu

I've got a couple of things to ask,

1. Has anyone got an Internet address for, or someone who works for
Boing Boing.

2. I use IBMs constantly at work, but I've got an standard Amiga at
home. Is there a package for the PC which will convert PC graphics
files to Amiga OS files. I already use HiJaak which converts the
picture format, e.g. BMP, Targa to ILBM IFF but I need a PC program
to convert between MSDOS and Amiga DOS.

Thanks for any help,

and it worked for me.

 #2 - They re-did the file areas, of course, timed exactly with my posting
of the information.  Now what you do is hit <F>iles, then hit <I>bm, then
<D>ownload, and it should give you a list of file areas...not sure what
the # is anymore, but last time I checked it was labeled as th eVR file
area...

 #3 - Last time I checked it was there.  I'll check again tomorrow to

this newsgroup in a while, and I'll probably miss it if it's not in mail.

Hi, this is a followup to Karin August's posting in August, telling
about a screening of WAX at the Public.... a lot of VRASP people
showed up.... though due to a mistake of my own a number of good
people had the bad fortune of showing up on a Monday, when the theatre
was closed (this is my public apology).

I think that readers of sci.virtual.worlds will find the film of
interest.  the main character worksas a flight simulation system
programmer, and undergoes soem of those paranormal expereinces some
people hope will someday be possible with advance hypermeida, or do I
say VR narrative?  Anyway, to repeat an old joke, this film is about
virtue reality, another well-known oxymoron, and on this wave-lenght
talks about virtuality and our recnet war.

There is no connection with the U of C, the connection is with the

About security in distributed programs: that's another reason
for using Scheme.  Scheme has naturally isolated address
spaces; you can rig it so that a downloaded program has
access only to a limited set of system routines that can't
hurt anything.

About objects and downloading code: SUN's NeWS window system
works this way and is orders of magnitude nicer than X.
The HyperNews toolkit is a Hypercard-like system where every
"widget" is a NeWS object and you can open it and edit the
source code.  If you have a SPARC, you can download it from
UUNET.  It's called HyperLook.

Some of you have noticed, while waiting for the creation of the
sibling newsgroup, sci.virtual-worlds.apps, that there has been a
slight slackening of effort here on the venerable s.v-w.  Almost
right: Mark and I are doing our best to stay up with you, the
participants' amazing treasure of knowledge and insights, but he's in
his first term at graduate school (UNC) and I've a new company to set
up.  Nevertheless, we persist, because we know this is important to
you.

We have learned that the host computer at the Univ of Washington on
which we are resident is soon to expire.  We will shortly be
transfering the files and directories over to the new machines here.
Also, we are finding out what to do with the archives.  For most of
you, you won't notice the move.  However, for the nonce, we are not
working as hard on the archives and are relying on participants to
answer each others questions online, while the FAQ gets a bit
obsolescent.  When we know more about the future, we'll fix up the
FAQ.  (It's still the best single source of information available:
/pub/virtual-worlds/FAQ on milton.u.washington.edu)

Finally, there is a vote taking place RIGHT NOW via a posting on news.
announce.newsgroups, for the new s.v-w.apps newsgroup.  I urge you to
vote.

It was great to see so many of you at Meckler VR 92.  It was a
pleasure to announce our existence to the assembled crowd which
appropriately "ooh'ed" and "ah-ed"!

I seem to recall from a few months back some persons discussing the possibility
of using IBM clones (presumably) and internet connections to create a type
of cyberspace.  There was much debate on means of implementing this, but I
was forced to go travelling so I missed the outcome of the whole thing.

I would be interested in implementing this network with the cooperation of
some person(s) who could handle the internet networking side.  I'm not
familiar with using ports from inside programs, but can probably churn out
a DOS platform renderer/protocol handler.  I saw a copy of a paper outlining
the problems and possible solutions, does anyone have a copy of this paper?
It seemed like a great way of bringing VR home for a lot of people waiting in
the wings, with limited resources.  

Please email me if you are interested, or have further information on what
was the general concensus...

Pat Robertson, former Presidential candidate and current tele-evangalist,
will be disscussing the ethical, moral and I assume religous significance
of VR on his syndicated show Friday October 16.  See your local paper for
a time near you.

Naturally, _Lawnmowerman_ will be disscussed as well as the VR=drug
issues.  I caught the first half of the VR theme today by mistake, and
was somewhat impressed with the number and quality of the interviews
and demos they showed.  Howard Rheingold, Walt Fisher and a variety of
Ames researchers all made apperances.  It was a better, more informative
10 minute intro to VR than the 20/20 piece.  I am curious to see who
the theolgians and philosphers will be on tomorrow's show.

Isn't there a dataglove mentioned in _Revelations_?

Maybe Pat will be the first to use VR for tele-evngalical shows.  Better
him than Tammy Baker, can you imagine that make-up streaming in 3D?

This is how I do it.  (Note:  this probably lacks some rigor, but works in most
cases.)

Let r = |a+bi| and t = arg(a+bi).  Thus, a+bi = r*exp(ti) and ln(a+bi) =
ln(r)+ti.  By virtue of the natural log function being the inverse of the
exponential function, a+bi = exp(ln(a+bi)), so (a+bi)^(c+di) =

	[exp(ln(a+bi)]^(c+di) =
	[exp(ln(r)+ti)]^(c+di) =
	exp[(ln(r)+ti) * (c+di)] =
	exp(c*ln(r) - d*t) * exp[i*(d*ln(r) + c*t)]

The first factor is the magnitude of the result, and the argument of the second
factor is the new polar angle.

Hope this helps.

    It appears that the above "breakage procedure" is still ambiguous.

     Let us redefine the problem this way.


   " I have a rod of length l.  I take TWO hammers and hit the rod
     simultaneously to break the rod into three parts.  All points
     on the rod have equal probability of being the breakage points
     


       Now consider parts (a), (b) and (c) above.

I am a freshman at Rensselaer polytechnic Institute.  This is the first time I use this BBN.  I love mathematics and my very interest is the theory of Chaos and fractals.  I read about them and I did a little study on bifurcation and period doubling using Hypercard.  The more work I've done, the more the question I have for such behavior.  I think somebody out there would have questions as well.  I would like to share them.
