	I like VLT by Willy Langveld.  It gives you VT100/200 emulation, 
supports the XPR external file transfer protocols, AREXX plus its own 
scripting language, configurable f-keys, even on-screen gadgets.  It comes
in two flavors: full blown VLT offers Tektronix term emulation as well as
VTxxx and VLTjr is everything in VLT minus the Tektronix stuff.

Organization: The Ohio State University

(This may be a duplicate or the full text of the message I tr
just tried to post, sorry for the inconvenience)

I am having a problem printing text files using the command
'copy <filename> to prt:'
The response is 'copy: object in use', however the file is not being
used by any other program.  I can TYPE or MORE the file, I can also 
copy it to another file or rename it (however the copy or renamed file
have the same problem).  I have an A500, with OS2.0 and a hard drive
recently installed. Could there be special conditions that copy d
doesn't like (PrintFiles and NewPrint don't work either on these f
files) such as .suffixes, downloaded files, files from a telcom 
capture session? Or is there something more basic I'm missing?
Any suggestions would be welcome, email response is fine.
         Thanks, Nancy Jo

Hi,

A friend (who has an A500) recently bought F1GP. I decided
to try it on my machine before buying it due to the 
incompatibilities of my (2.04) machine. I tried it, and lo
and behold - it didn't work. On the box, it says it's
A500+ compatible. Surely A500+'s have 2.04? Or is due to the
fact they have fatter Agnuses? Surely not.

Any light which can be thrown on this subject is greatly
appreciated.

Budokan is ok, but not as fun as I'd like.  Too much disk access and not
hard drive installable either.  Lots of different moves though.

Exploding fist on the C64 was a great game, especially the use of sound.
Yes, it was raspy and all but the use of Bruce Lee's voice in the
title screen was neat.  

Speaking of Karate games, have you ever tried IK+ (International Karate+)?
It's sort of like Exploding fist but with three players...  Maybe Sideline
Software carries it.

Hello 

I own A amiga 500+ with A 412 Meg HD.
I know some sites here in Holland who have lots of trainer files.
But they are almost all located on the boot block
Also the disk will pop up as an NDOS disk !

What must I do to get that trainer file and grab it as an executable
file to put it on hard disk.

I tryed it with the Action Replay ( it works fine under KS 2.04 , if
you are using AR III ) but the file is too long ( 512K min.)

also somewhere on this site (amiga.games) the question about 
the HD version of Pinnball Dreams: YES there is one

I saw it somewhere in Germany it's about 2,5 Meg big .
Becaurse the floppy's are written in packed form it fits on them
but unpacked it's a little bigger.


hope to hear from you soon .....

having a problem getting the modem link section of the game to work.  We
are both using 14.4k HST's, and the game gets to the part where it
transfers the data from the primary computer to the secondary, and the
machine that is sending the data, his bar gets to almost half and quits,
whereas the secondary unit's bar gets only about half an inch and stops.  I
would imagine this has something to do with one getting ahead of the other

What kind of joystick are you using?  Digital or analog?  FD is
