I do not really know if they are on an FTP site. If need be I can send them

AutoCenter won`t help a bit, the problem is those different scan rates the

	I need help finding a good program to graphically plot statistical data

that will allow this? An AREXX port would be VERY important.

The last I heard was that the 586 (pentium) was incompatable (being 64
bit) and that one would have to run an IBM emulator on it to run older
software.  Of course, I could be very wrong, but like everything you
hear - take it with a grain of salt (sometimes a pound or two) until it
has been confirmed by several reliable sources.

Too bad Switcher hard codes RAMIGA/SHIFT/S as a screen dump :-(  It makes

Does anyone know of a version of Switcher with CONFIGURABLE hotkeys?

Organization: California Polytechnic State University, San Luis Obispo

Hello,

Any developers out there care to break the non-disclosure thing and tell
us how the RTG support is going at CBM? I've been waiting for better
graphics for my Amiga since I got my 2000 three and a half year ago 
( I upgraded from an 500). One and a half years ago, I upgraded to a 3000, and
now I'm still waiting (I'm out of money to upgrade to the 4000). An
100%-Amiga-loving guy can only have so much patience. There seems to be many
quality graphics cards out there, but they won't get any general software
support until there is an RTG standard.

Here are some display cards I've heard of:

DMI Revolver- way over priced for an 8 bit card!
Visiona-24bit? Was it ever released? What's the price?
Rembrandt-24bit, out of my price range
OpalVision-24bit, the expansion options and the software support looks
           fantastic! if only it can go beyond normal Amiga resolution 
			  like 1024x768
Domino-VGA card for amiga, cheap but only available in Germany
Retina-24Bit? cheap, but again only in Germany/Europe
Merlin-24bit? cheap, specs are greats, not released yet, hope it's not
       vaporware, again, maybe only in Germany/Europe
Firecracker-uh, outdated and cost too much
AVideo12/24- 12 and 24 bit, not enough information
The_card_I_want- AGA specs, dirt cheap, Zorro III card

Some of these cards have graphics processor on them, others are just
framebuffers. At this point, I'll consider anything that's better than
320x400/HAM :(

I guess your ORG: header is correct.  I tried email but it bounced. :-(
I am very interested in this program.  Could you send me the exact address
to get this or, if it is not too large, uuencode and mail it to me.  I don't
have FTP capability but could get my feed site to get it if he had the exact
name and address.

I don't believe any of these programs have ARexx ports - even ProPage 4.0.

There are a few things to remember though:

       you can simulate volume textures with various tricks.

    2) The Essence textures ONLY work with an FPU equiped Amiga.  Be aware

       textures.)

This is normal with removable media.  The system is polling the drive
to see if the cartridge has been popped out so it can take appropiate

Hi there Ira.  I'm not an expert on these things, but it sounds like your 
dealer is talking about an RF Modulator (the 40 dollar item), and a 
Genlock of some sort (the 120 dollar item).  If you only need to get your 
video onto a big screen, and you aren't concerned with putting live video 
behind your Amiga GFX (or recorded video for that matter), the 40 dollar 
RF Mod will do the trick just fine.  The quality is very good, 
considering the price.  Infact, the quality of the RF Modulator, is just 
as good as most low-cost Genlocks you can get.  I used to use an RD Mod.
to put my presentations and animations onto video tape, but I recently 
purchased a DCTV, so it kinda made the RF Modulator obsolete.  Anyway
as I said, if you just want to put your video out through a VCR, or
directly to a TV, the RF Modulator will do the trick for you, just as 
well as that 120 dollar Genlock thingy will.  (besides, you'll get better 
compatibility, because not too many things have S-VHS in, or out.  Not 
unless you're dealing with high end equipment).  Hope that helps some.  
TTYL

Hi,

I know that I can get a solid 640*480 (Productivity) mode as I have

A pin-to-pin diagram works fine with me but I'd rather buy one if

Thank you in advance,

Doesn't Final Copy and PhonePak have ARexx interfaces? Wouldn't it be
possible to automate the import/print function using ARexx? It's not a
very good solution, but better than having the machine crash.

(I don't have either program so I can't try; I'm just suggesting.)

My son is doing a project for school (4th grade) entitled 'How does my
computer work?'. As part of this, he needs some detailed descriptions of
the workings of the CPU and custom chips of an Amiga 1000 - his (and my)
computer.

Does anyone know where he could write to get this? He needs more detail
than, say, the Byte article, but probably not *too* much more; nothing
proprietary, anyway ;-).

Any pointers to articles, or people/addresses to write to at Commodore or
Motorola, perhaps, would be much appreciated.
