Subject:      a gui style ftp

Is there a program like this already out?  I am not talking about the
amiga acl program.  I mean one that will do somewhat the same thing, but
not use RECENT etc files.  Basically I want a gui type front-end to ftp.

If no one knows of one, then I guess I could create such a program.

Paul

     I think the Amiga is great and would like to know where information can be
attained on the following items to be used with the Amiga: a Cyberware 3-D Scan
ning unit with software [NON-TOXIC to humans variety, o.k non-toxic is a joke b
ut the Cyberware unit isn't]; a Dicomed Captivator (captures imaging details on
film, 35mm,16mm, etc.); Sculptor Software and soild copy units from 3-D modelin
g; a Dukane Audio Visual Div.'s the MagniView Model 492 Color TFT LCD Projectio
n Panel; Color Laser Printers; a Fractal Design's type Painter (for true tools
& techniques for Fine Art Artists); Desktop Virtual Photoreality (anything in
virtual reality for that matter); Kodak imaging systems; and a Juke Box cd/rom
optical read/write 122 gigi bytes for memory storage. The information does not
have to be on the above name brands but where I can get for use with the Amiga.
Then I'll have my Amiga 5000 SuperComputer. Please post onto other Amiga nets i

        There is a big difference.  You need a new ROM to run 3.0 whereas
WB 2.1 only needs a software upgrade.  That is a major difference.  Also,
the graphic modes being vastly expanded also is a reason of the jump--
that is a major part of the OS.

Subject: Printer trouble under 2.04! Help!
Organization: Abo Akademi University, Finland
Date: Thu, 10 Sep 1992 10:56:03 GMT
X-News-Reader: VMS NEWS 1.20

Hi ya'll!

I recently upgraded my A500 to 2.04 and since then I haven't managed print
a single thing on my (Citizen) 9-pin dot-matrix printer! Not under 2.04 
anyway... When I try to print something, nothing happens for a while, but then 
the machine throws up a 'Printer trouble - Make printer On-line' -requester,
which goes right out again, since the printer IS on-line all the time!!
And this goes on until I manage to cancel the requester which isn't easy
since it comes and goes so quickly... Anyway, nothing seems to go to the
printer. As far as I can figure, I've done all the right things (in theory!) to
be able to print something, that is, I've got the proper devices (parallel &
printer) and printer drivers (EpsonX) in devs:, I've configured the printer
using the appropriate prefs programs, but still nothing goes through! 

However, the 'funny' thing is that when I use the old v1.3 devices & drivers
under 2.0, I can at least print text and sometimes even graphics (at other 
times this produces spectacular fireworks)! AND what's more: if I boot up
with a 1.3 boot disk (like DPaint) which (of course) uses v1.3 drivers & 
stuff, the printer works as it always did: slowly & noisily, but it works! :) 
So obviously there's nothing wrong with printer or the connections, although 
I did wonder about that...

Anyway, could someone please help me with this? Has anyone had similar (or 
other) problems with printing under 2.0? I'd really appreciate any help... 
And please don't tell to RTFM, 'cause I don't have one! ;)

Thanx,

Subject:      RE: Help on HD buying

Christian,

        The type of HD you need depends on the type of controller you are using.
Most controllers for the amiga are scsi though the IDE type which is prevalent
on the ibm clone world is gaining in popularity as they are cheaper.  So, if you
get a scsi controller, get a scsi drive.  These are not specific to the amiga--
ie. you don't need a special one for the amiga but can use the ones advertised
in mac mags (they use mostly scsi) and scsi drives advertised in the clone mags.
(However, sometimes the jumpers will have to be changed if you buy from a
non-amiga dealer).  The same deal applies to with IDE controllers-- you buy an
IDE drive.  Hope this helps.

Bryan,

   I wish I could find such a program.  At one point I set up an 880k
floppy as a MakeAB Pseudo drive,  when using Norton's SysInfo command
it responded telling me I had a 2732ms access time!  Arrrgh!  But still,
that's off a floppy.  I'm running an IBM drive for my Amiga now,  I wish
I could get THAT to auto-boot.

If this sounds like a "take it for granted" question, ignore it, but, have you
set the J301 switch on the motherboard?  It is actually a jumper underneath the
powersupply.  It needs to be closed.  Other than that, do you know for sure
that the FZ-352 drive is workable?

	I've happily and successfully used BRU for backup and restoration to tape
for a while now, without problems.  I've also used it numerous times to
disk.  Now I only use high quality disks (my prefered brand are KAO --
pronounced cow).  It is useful to point out that BRU doen't verify the
backup, but it is simple to verify it (using -i).  I feel that if it is
important enough to backup, then it is important enough to verify.  That
was the main reliability complaint that I heard.  Also, since it uses a
heavyduty compression scheme, it takes a while to compress/decompress, I
usually backup without compression turned on (-Z for compression).

>"Wonder if I can tell it to backup over the modem? hehehe SER: "
Sure.  Try:
	bru -cf - Work: >SER:
(ie create archive, file "STDOUT", backup all of Work: t, redirect
"STDOUT" to SER:). Obviously it is simplified, and you'd be better off
using a PIPE: with a modem program. ;-)

              "BURTON%IPFWCVAX.BITNET@nmsuvm1.NMSU.Edu" at Sep 13, 92 10:58 pm

I have been reading the various posts, gripes, exclamations and so on
about the new A4000, so I thought I'd toss in my 2 cents.

Mostly, I feel a sense of anticipation and excitement towards the machine,
and a certain frustration towards some of the reaction. The new machine sounds
to me at least, to be a big step forward. Finally we have a 32 bit chipset
and the bandwidth to keep going in the 90s for further improvements. A
DSP is coming soon. Lots of new features, a fast processor that can be easily
upgraded, a new workbench. I for one am real happy.

Yet I hear the inevitable whines about backward compatability. "I can't use the
AA chips in my A1000!" and so on. "Commodore is screwing us! They won't do
bla bla..." or "the A4000 sucks because....." etc. Jeez people! The most common
complaint I ever heard was that the Amiga chips were 16 bit. "I want my 32
bit chipset!" people screamed. Well here it is, and naturally it can't be
backward compatable. I never hear people screaming on Mac or PC nets that they
can't upgrade their early 256k XT or 85 vintage Mac to run like the new machines
that are out. I admit it is nice to be able to have as much backwards
compatability as is  feasable, but at some point you have to say, well, we
need a new system, a better one. And this is it. Is it the best that can
pissibly be? Well, probably not, but it  sounds like a very good effort, and
after all, it's still only on the demo floor! As far as any complaints about
this or that, give em a chance! I want to  see it ship in quantity and go
through a few revisions, and there will be a few. That's ok.

I think the machine is going to go over big. I hope it does. I see the A4000
as a real move in the right direction. I feel confident I can ignore the
bitching and griping of the naysayers. In fact, the more I read their posts,
the more I am conviced they know about very very little.


Good job Commodore! Keep it up.


So there!

Or if anything, Jim, you could always get one of those mouse-movement recorders
and play back the mouse double clicking on the appropraite icons and stuff,
therefore leading the interfaceinto the correct directory.

Even though this would work, it'd be haphazard...any number of things could
 change.  The icon info could be changed (henced the icon not in the same place
every time), the startup could be broken, what have you.

My 1/2 pence..

Subject: TV problem

I have an A500 and a TV-set that can superimpose an RGB signal over a TV pic.
I tried using the 'standard' cable : TV:SCART <===========> RGB:AMIGA. This
works fine when I just use the TV as a monitor, however when I try to use
the superimpose function. Then the amiga picture becomes blurry and moves.

Checking some amiga books I guess I need to connect amiga ZeroDetect (RGB
pen 14) to tv Rapid Switching signal (SCART pen 16). And need to bring in
some sort of synchronisation signal into the amiga, now that is my problem :
Where are the HSYNC and VSYNC signal on the (rgb type) SCART plug ??? As far
as I know the RGB pic goes from the amiga to the tv and already has its own
CSYNC signal. So where goes the TV sync. ??

Any help on the subject would be appreciated.
