        First, sorry for the delay. I was very busy and only today I could find

Could you send the files to the list, please?

I was one of two programmers for Black Crypt.  There is very little
development in the U.S. in the field of games for the Amiga.  This
is because games hardly sell in the U.S.  For example, in the first
month and ten days that Black Crypt was out, it had the following sales:
   Europe:  14,000
   U.S.: 2,500
   Australia: 500
The majority of sales came from Europe.  As far as I know, Electronic
Arts, which published our game, is no longer supporting the Amiga.  By
this, I mean that EA is no longer going to fund a project from scratch,
but they are still going to distribute games.  The development group
that I worked for is now solely working on an IBM project.  EA has
no plans for them to do any more Amiga projects.

I use "them" up above because I am no longer with that group.  I have
decided to finish college first.  Which brings me to my second point.
I am a MCS major (Management Computer Systems).  I have discovered that
almost all of the rest of the MCS students know absolutely nothing about
the Amiga.  They think that the IBM is the leading edge of technology
because of all of the neat graphics and animation that it is now
beginning to do, although the Amiga has always done that.  Hopefully the
4000 will turn some heads.  If and only if Commodore lets outside people
know that it exists!!!!!

P.S.  If anyone has played my game, please mail me (and not the list)
      your comments.  Thanks!!!

Yes, try AmigaNOS (it's up to version 2.9g right now).  It can be found
on ucsd.edu in the hamradio/packet/tcpip/incoming directory (or
thereabouts).  This is not a "terminal", it's a full fledged TCP/IP
package which supports mail, nntp, ftp, telnet, SLIP, etc. etc.  It
could be used to make your machine PART of the network rather than just
accessing it.  You may want to talk to your TCP/IP administrator and see
if you can get an IP address, once the proper routing is set up you
could then get access to Internet and vice versa right into your Amiga.

The modification you speak of is not too difficult but is not to be taken
lightly.  It involves cutting a pair of traces and joining one other on
your motherboard.  There is little margin for error!  It enables the RAM
in the 500's expansion slot as chip RAM, which of course, requires that you
have expansion RAM in the slot.

NOTE:  Openning your 500 will void the warrenty!!!  You mention buying a
       ROM switcher so you must not be too concerned about it. 8-)

I have run the RAM-test-program that came with the A590 and it reports that
everything is ok, I *THINK* (not sure) it only tests the memory in the
A590 (the 2meg fastmem).

I had 512chip+512fast in the A500 and 2meg in the A590 and didn't discovered
anything strange. Then I upgraded to 2.0 (I had warrenty so I didn't made the
upgrade myself) and asked them to change (cut and solder) to 1 meg chip at
the same time, so I shouldn't loose my warrenty.
And the problem started after that! I suspected it was incompatible (sp?)
problems with 1.3/2.0 but I have tried different programs that I know
works on other 2.0-Amigas...

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm.....I tried to e-mail, but it bounced so here it is.

I seem to have missed your original posting, so I hope what I'm going to
say doesn't seem out of line. 

You said at the end of this post that you are currently continuing your RCC
standing....but if you are thinking of leaving the church, then obviously
there is something about the faith which you fundamentally disagree with.
One thing, most notibly, which comes to mind is Communion.  The RCC think
that the bread and wine BECOME the body and blood of Christ.  As far as I
can tell, most other faiths see it merely as  bread and wine, and as a
re-enactment of a final supper and not as a re-enactment of the sacrifice
of Christ.  So....if you don't believe it is the body & blood of Christ,
then you shouldn't be taking communion in an RC church, right?  I mean, if
you are still following RCC beliefs, but you doubt what the RCC believes,
then your beliefs should tell you that if you don't believe what the RCC
believes, then you shouldn't share communion with its members.  And to
change faiths would require a fundamental change in the way you view the
Eucharist.  Wouldn't that seem weird to you? to go from believing you are 
consuming the body and blood of Christ, to eating a piece of bread and 
drinking some wine?

I might sound kinda confused because I am a new Catholic (4/18/92), but I
really think I have a grasp on this. 

I hope you choose to stay with the RC Church, but only if you discover that 
it is the right thing to do.

It is not a medical technical term, but a religious one.  Homosexuality has
not been recognized as a "disorder" in medicine or psychology for decades.
This is not a matter of "liberal politics," but due to the simple fact that
it shares none of the characteristics of a disease or psychological disorder.
Although such disorders may accompany homosexuality as a result of abuse or
other externally imposed sources of stress and anxiety, they play no part in
its etiology.  From a clinical standpoint, homosexuality is a statistical
variation in the population which has no inherent effect on the viability or
psychological stability of an individual.

Make no mistake: the Church's objections to homosexuality are made strictly
on so-called "moral" grounds.  His Emminence has made a moral judgement in
describing homosexuality as an "objective disorder" (a term which I have
always thought in this context meant "having improper objects of affection
and sexual attraction").

It is not a judgement I agree with whatsoever.

Marty, bishops may be the successors of the Apostles, but, like the Apostles,
they are men.  Therefore they are capable of error.  Not everything they do is
correct, and, in some cases, it's downright wrong and immoral.  I refer you in
particular to the case of former New Orleans priest Dino Cinel, who is one of
the most flagrant pedophiles ever to be ordained.  There is now a massive
amount of evidence supporting the charge that Archbishop Phillip M. Hannon of
New Orleans (now retired) intervened with the district attorney to 'hush up'
the matter of Mr. Cinel.  When the story was exposed to public scrutiny, the DA
tried to prosecute Mr. Cinel, but a criminal court judge forced the state to
stick to the original three-way deal cut between the DA, the Church and Cinel's
attorney.

So, as a result of the direct intervention of a consecrated bishop, a man who
amassed a library of videotapes of young boys engaged in various homosexual
acts was allowed to get off scot free, ostensibly to protect the image of the
Church.  We're not talking about a medieval bishop who also may have been a
temporal ruler, we're talking about a man who addressed the Second Vatican
Council and is highly respected.

I have a hard time accepting that any Church findings in which a man capable of
such an immoral act as the Cinel incident participated to be infallible.  These
men are human, and capable of errors, sin, and gross violations of human
decency.  While the issues they decide and pronounce are authoritative, there
is little that can convince me that they cannot be changed at some point in
time if they are established to be incorrect.

This has never occurred to me before, but I think it's an _excellent_
idea.  The office of cardinal is _not_ part of Holy Orders, and there's
certainly nothing about the essence of the office that would prevent
women from serving as Papal electors.

Well, of course, under the current code of canon law, it's not.  But
remember that it's only been since the 1917 revision that cardinals
were even required to be _bishops_, and there is historical precedent
for lay cardinals.

I think it's high time that the Church recognize that one need not be
a bishop (or even a man) to be "outstanding for [...] doctrine, morals,
piety, and prudence in action."

Benedictus Deus in saecula!

In the Missal of Paul VI, the words "Verbum Domini" are said after the
readings.  

A priest, who learned to say the Mass of Paul VI in Latin when he was a
seminarian in Rome the 60's, recently told me that "Verbum Domini" is not as
awkward in Latin as it is English.  He seemed very sure of what he was saying,
but I do not if he is correct or not.

Any thoughts or comments on this?
