If you do...

  L& = 10 * 3600

The right hand side is evaluated, but the data type is just regular
integer, since these plain numeric constants are assumed to be integers.

When BASIC tries to store the result, it sees an overflow.

This should solve the problem...

  L& = 10& * 3600&

This is sort of like type casting in C  (ooh I said the "C" word :-)

I also own QB4.5 and PDS7.1 and like Jeff Foy would like to to know the answers to his questions about processor requirements and the upgrade offer.  I would also like to know exactly what the environment looks like, is it all text based?  Since it is
Visual Basic for DOS does it have the same tooltypes and form creation environment?

How about just a press release or full feature list off the back of a box or 
something.

Thanks for any info,

Oh, I really don't care what the answers are just send me a copy today and let

Why bother rewriting what is already done?

QuickPak Pro has this stuff already. Along with the sources.
The $150 that you pay is small beans compared to the time it

Phil,

As a PDS owner (7.1), I'd be very curious what the upgrade offer will
look like (if it'll be any different). Also would like to find out if
VB/DOS will run on my XT or, as is the current trend, will it require
a '286 or higher.

I had used the GOPHER (Minnesota) system initally to read alt.fishing. 
After a learning process (a few weeks), I realized that GOPHER was read
only.  In talking to persons familiar with news.readers, I discovered
that it was necessary to have a NUNTIUS (or similar program) to
communicate with alt.fishing (or Rec.Outdoors.Fishing).  There have been
absolutely no problems talking with either group, excepting the time that
our LOCAL server crashed.  Try using GOPHER, if available to see if you
can connect via another system.  At least you could monitor until the
problem is identified.

Just a friendly reminder:

rec.outdoors.fishing has been created to replace alt.fishing.  Reason?
Many organizations don't get alt.* newsgroups.  Porn, BS, bogus newsgroups,
etc. result in blanket rejections of all newsgroups in the alt.* hierarchy.
(Nearly) all organizations world-wide get the rec.* newsgroup hierarchy.

rec.outdoors.fishing solves these problems, and has been singularly
successful in it's mission: tons and tons of posts from around the world!
Current posting rates are around 120 per week, versus less than 10 for

I have seen these things advertised on late night TV here in
Minnesota.  They claim that the lure will "fly" away from you after it
lands at the end of a cast.  That is, it tends to glide horizontally
through the water rather than just sinking.  The idea, I think, is to
let you cast into places you couldn't reach before.  I have no idea
whether it works or whether it is even a good idea.  I don't remember
the price but do remember thinking at the time that it was pretty
high.

In South Australia, we have fish referred to as barracouta (barracuda ?) which 
have parasitic worms in their gut.  Old hands say that fish caught for food 
should be gutted quickly to stop the worms getting into the flesh.

How true and what effect the worms have I don't know.

I would like to suggest a new listing - one that details places where one 
would be able to fish productively during the course of the year.

Might I start by adding that any fishing report be welcome and that regular 
contributions would be apprecited.

I suppose I could start by informing that good size snapper are starting to 
move through Port Phillip Heads and can be taken on W.A. pilcards on the 
flood tide, in the channel.

I hope that this will start some interest.

I often wondered just how well the flying lures would *fly* while 
dragging 30ft of monofilement line behind them, particularly 
when the wind is blowing a huge bow in the line, I guess strike 
detection would be difficult too.  Still the t.v. show is interesting 
enough the first time you see it. I just can't decide which I should  
get first; a $35. plastic jig that flies backwards, the *Juice Tiger* 
juice machine which will make me as healthy as Jack LaLane, or that 
cleaner stuff that the Hawiian guy demonstrates which can clean any 
object on the planet. 

 Let's talk about *spoon plugging* for a while, 
any Buck Perry style spoon-pluggers out there?

Same here on the South Coast.  Although I've caught them in cold currents (from
victoria where I believe that they are a table fish (barracuda), with no
visable parasites.  I have eaten these with no ill effects - although they
could taste nicer.

The barracuda have the parasites cause they are a rubish fish - will eat
anything.  I've caught three at a time on a 2 hook snapper rig.  (one on each
hook and one on the sinker).

Good Fishin'

Chris.

In Sweden it's possible to buy "Flying Lures" by TV, (commercials
on TV at last!). They seem to originate from USA or Canada.
Do anyone over there know anything about them, if they work etc, etc..
At least the idea about them sounded good, that the lure goes
sideways when sinking, even though it was impossible for me to 
understand HOW it worked.

I got a couple of those Flying lures and it does fall away from you when it drops.

They have the hook weighted with lead along the shaft but with more weight near the

hook end. The plastic shirt that comes with the lure is flat towards the hook end. 

This helps the lure dive away from you when it his the water. I have only tried it

on one trip and did hook a small bass. I did not have any luck with any of the other

plastics that I tried that day. If I get a chance to use it again I will post the

results. By the way I got my lures from the Cabilas (Sp??) mail order catalog.

I think it was only about $3.50 for 3 lead heads and 6 plastic skirts.

Why are they called flying lures?

Hi!

I have been waiting since the announcement in June to read alt.fashion, but 
my site has only just started receiving it. Hooray!  Hopefully the activity 
on the group will pick up when school starts and people get back to work.

First, a bit about myself.  I am nearing 50 and only JUST became interested 
in fashion about a year ago.  I'm interested in past, present and future 
fashions, but especially in fashion for those who don't fit the tall-thin 
model shape.  As you night expect from that, I am beginning to spread out a 
bit and have always had a difficult to fit figure.  That is part of the 
reason I wasn't interested in fashion before.  I mean, when buying ready- 
made clothing is supremely frustrating, it sort of turns you off to 
clothes.

I have two particular interests that I'd like to pursue in this posting.

First, I have several friends in Eastern Europe who design marvelous 
sweaters and clothing for themselves.  I'd like to try marketing the 
designs in some way, but what esy would be the best?  A self-published 
booklet of knitting patterns?  Selling to a large company?  Just how does 
one go about this sort of thing?

Second, I'd like to do as much a possible to encourage the fashion industry 
to show styles on other body-types than tall-thin.  How does it look on 
someone with a square-chunky body shape?  How about short-legged?  
Square-shouldered?  Hippy?  Busty?  Etc?  Does anyone think that this is 
possible?   N.B. I already subscribe to BBW Magazine.

Recently, Glamour magazine had a critique of some of the new, long thin 
slit skirts.  Seems some of them are impossible to sit down in without 
revealing everthing!  What other problems are encountered in specific 
styles?  Would a service detailing this sort of thing be saleable?

Lets get some interesting discussions going on this newsgroup!!

Hurray!!
Finally a net-group that will allow us to "unite" and allow us to wear what we
want-ie: not everyone can wear that new slit skirt. point being that magazines
tell me what is "in" for the size 5 leggy supermodel. not the size 12-14 (depen
ding on who made the clothes) 5'2 everyday person.  by the way, i once read in
a magizine (quite recently) that the average american women wears a size 12, we
ll through the eyes of the fashion industry it's more like a size 6. yeah, thei
r right-NOT!
LAst week on Jenni Jones, she had a segment on wether magizines should use "rea
l" models ie: you and me.  and there was a very attracted "leggy size 5" sticki
ng up for the everyday person--bless her soul! Anyway, the industry dosn't want
 it. god forbid anyone find out there are non-perfect women living in this coun
try. so I think we should insist that we be able to actually SEE a model, who f
its the critique of a magizine layout: point: in a very popular bridal magazine
s, they had a ONE page layout of what the "full busted" or the "big hipped" bri
de can wear....well show me on a "full busted" model...not a nice b-cup.
Okay, i'll stop rambling-FOR NOW..

I hope this netgroup takes off in leaps &bounds
