Is anyone familiar with a terminal emulation package that emulates a
wyse 50.  We have to interface with a SuperDOS machinbe at work that
only understands wyse 50.  It would be nice to only have one machine
on my desk.

Thanks in advance;

I think that you may not quite understand how crypt works.

If they have been encrypted by DES then this is a one way algorithm, and
hence you can't get the text back.

All you could do is encrypt another section of text and compare the crypted
version.

	I assume you mean "Post" as the Postscript interpreter.  Yup,
it's great, but I have found Postscript files that Post cannot handle,
but other previewers (like DEC's dxpsview) can.

	For example, I drew a picture using idraw on a DECstations,
saved it as encapsulated Postscript, and tried to preview it with Post.
I got an error message instead, concerning the "get" command.  dxpsview
on the DECstation previewed the picture correctly.

I'm the original author of JForth, the language Mark used for B.A.D. and
MyDiary.

Mark is an enthusiastic developer, very dedicated to the projects he
produces.  At least that's the impression I've had with him.

I haven't talked with him for months (haven't tried), but I wouldn't
believe he's trying to pull the wool over anyones eyes.

I have a copy of MyDiary that works pretty damn good, it's even
a Beta.  Far as I can tell, he's a straight up guy.

I got a copy from a friend who got it off BIX (I think...). Anyway, I like
GUIspell, but I really got it to use if with the new GNUEmacs. It uses
ARexx to communicate to ISpell (both GNUEmacs and GUIspell talk to the 
same ISpell). It also comes with some rexx scripts that can be used from
a CLI to  spell words. For example, you type "spell <some word>" (where
spell is a rexx script or an alias to call the rexx script) and ISpell
returns back alternate spellings for that word (if it is spelled wrong).
Its slick and fast. The idea is to have a single dictionary for all 
programs to use...

Well, good news. Another vendor has announced HotLinks. SEE BELOW:


BLACK BELT ANNOUNCES HOTLINKS SUPPORT!
 
Black Belt Systems is pleased to announce support for Soft-Logik's
"HotLinks" file publish/subscribe system, as part of the standard
Imagemaster release. This is another first for Black Belt; we are
the first developer to provide comprehensive HotLinks support,
though in this case, we'll all benefit as the other developers
catch up to us. Again. :^)
 
Hotlinks allows you to share items (images in this case) between
programs via intermediate files which are handled by the HotLinks
system. Benefits include not having to exit applications, or manually
import or export data - Hotlinks "knows" when an item (like an image)
in a document has changed, and will correctly deliver the goods when
the output is generated. Hotlinks keeps track of the latest version
of your files and maintains them as up-to-date. Hotlinks is a very
exciting capability newly added to the Amiga by Soft-Logik.
 
This is not vaporware; Imagemasters HotLinks capability will be
generally available beginning this coming week (the week of August
31st). Black Belt Systems would like to express our thanks to Soft-
Logik, who has co-operated in the spirit of the finest Amiga
developers.
 
Note that when other developers release HotLinks capabilties,
Imagemasters HotLinks tools will link our image files to their
applications as well; as other software matures in this way, a
great deal more power will be afforded the user.

But! There's the rub! one cannot start ParM in the OS2.0 approved fashion,
namely in s:user-startup or in WBStartup.  one must wait until after
LoadWB which means altering s:startup-sequence.  granted, that's not
too terribly difficult, but the whole point of user-startup was to avoid
that.  i get around it by backgrounding a job (from user-startup) which
waits 20 seconds and starts up ParM.  inelegant, granted, but i don't
have to worry about mucking about with s:startup-sequence.

In response to my saying I was currently developing a Card filing

Sorry to say, I inadvertantly deleted that mail. Hope you may be
reading this.

It will probably be at least six months before I get to beta testing
stage, due to the fact my research and thesis writing must take
precedence. I will probably only have people known to me and resident
here in Christchurch to do at least the initial phase of beta testing.
I havn't thought much further than that, other than that it would be
nice to release such a package to the general Amiga user.

If I get to a point where I think it would be appropriate for more
wide spread beta testing I will post a message to that effect in one

Have you tried the "insert literal" option under the "format" menu?

Place cursor, choose "insert literal", scroll down to required special
character in the scroll box that appears, click on the one wanted and then
on "OK".  The special character should now be at the cursor position.

The default s:startup-sequence has never, under any OS
version/revision, been something I wanted to keep.  (It's too
(nastily) standard for taste.)  I've never heard that not altering the
s-s, but only the user-startup, is the "OS2.0-approved" way of
changing a startup, but it's more baloney if it is.  Sounds like
you're going out of your way to avoid doing something that's perfectly
acceptable.  The only part of startup-sequence you shouldn't play with
(unless you know precisely what you're doing) is the stuff before
IPrefs and the first conceivable screen output -- you can fix yourself
up so that you never get your default prefs that way, if you're not
careful.  Otherwise, there's nothing sacred about the s-s.  To me, u-s
is just a way of modularizing your startup.  (I actually execute about
6 scripts in turn before my boot shell quits and gives me the Csh.)
