I am not sure if the TeX utilities are case sensitive, but I just set up
MetaFont on my A3000, and my documentation said to use "CALLMF" as the
environment variable.  If "CallMF" does not seem to work, try putting it in
all caps - just a thought.  By the way, I am no TeX guru.  In fact, I am
having problems myself (cf. my posting if you can help).

Does anyone know of a PD Scheme interpreter for the Amiga.  I know there
are versions out for MS-DOS and MAC, but I'd rather do the programming

I am looking for some program that can plot scientific graphs (where the
lines aren't necessarily on the points) and output them as either IFF
files or any other format ProWrite can use.  Spreadsheets, graphics software,
whatever.  It must be quick to use, however.  It only takes 5 minutes to
plot a quality graph by hand.  I just want something more accurate.

Also, when I say easy, that immediately excludes GNUPlot.  Which is not
only archaic, but user-hostile, slow, huge, and poor in the quality
department.

Thanks for the help.

You can definitely run 3.0 on pre-AGA systems. However, while revisions in 
3.1 do indeed make the ECS screen refreshes seem more snappy, I don't
believe that these have a noticeable effect on animations and paint
programs.

That's how it's currently done, however they may simply opt to go with a
future revision now that 3.1 is on the horizon. If 3.0 really is a
compelling issue to you, why not simply register as a developer with CATS?

YES!!! There is a file called CryptDevice1.7 (maybe 2.0 by now) which will
do just that. It creates a file on your hard drive which will be handled
as a volume after it is mounted. It provides encryption, and when the 
device is first accessed, it brings up its own requestor asking for the 
password. You could set up a partition for each user, and automatically
mount it via a login program (try Login , it's a good looking login front-end,
and will allow you to keep a log of each user). This combination should make
your system fairly professional-looking and secure from most malicious users.

I just installed MM V1.17 on my 1200 (80meg HD). I rebooted, and there was MM
running nicely. I then ran BootX V5.23, as I had just stuck some other stuff
on the HD. After exiting bootx, I tried to quit Workbench, but failed since MM
was still running, BUT it reported that I had 2 programs launched! MM was the
only program running, I'm sure of that. So I then ran SysInfo... After 
toggeling though to options to PORTS I came across this....

PORTS

ConClip  	ChipMem Priority=0
Styx-Hades	ChipMem Priority=251  <-----!!!

Any ideas? This is the first I've heard of this port!! Where did it come from?
I've tried running MM and bootx in different orders/together etc.. but I havn't
been able to get this port again. It may be related to MM since I had just 
installed it. Suggestions anyone?

Change your mountlist or Use HDToolBox (either one of those, I dunno
where they keep this information now) to change your MaxTransfer to
0xFFFF or lower (0xFe00).  This should get those programs to work.  The
loadfile hunk problem is a symptom of an IDE Hard disk which only seems
to do MaxTransfers of 64k or less.  Some people have used 128k with
success, but 64k is safe, apparently.  Anyone have any SOLID data on
what's going on here?  I've seen this problem all over the net with
A1200's, that's why I'm able to answer this question.

  I own the Xetec software and CDROM-FS as do some of my friends who own
 A3000's. We all prefer the Xetec software. From experience we know that
 it works under AmigaDOS 1.3, 2.0, and 2.1. We have tested it with the
 Toshiba 3201B , 3301B and Chinon 431 drives. It will also read CDTV,
 ISO 9660, 512 byte blocks and 2048 byte blocks and it will read both
 formats of MAC CDROM's.

If you are used to Unix, get SKSH for your amiga.  It gives you a
whole Unix environment for your amiga.  There is also CSH but it
is nothing like Unix at all (the shell is way different, the
commands are different, the syntax is different), but CSH is
closer to AmigaDos than SKSH is.  But SKSH has more features and
gets them sooner (and doesn't use ARP) and has better docs.  You
get your pick.   Or get both.

There is also pdksh, but SKSH is much better integrated with the
AmigaDos environment.
 
Anyway, for Unix-heads, SKSH 2.1 is the *only* way to go.  I only
wish the vi mode was a little better...

Also, maybe WShell allows "cd ..", I don't know.  Its not very expensive.

I'm having an absolutely awful time trying to get gnuplot running reliably
on my machine.  The farthest I've ever gotten is a couple of plots of 
functions (all relatively simple), and then the thing either 
a) sort of locks up- i.e. I can still do other things with the computer, but
I not longer have control of cli window I'm running under.
b) the power light starts blinking....

There are two different compressed files for gnuplot that I have obtained
(can't remember the name of one of of them, but it was about 200k long.  THe
other was gnuplot_3.2bin.lha (I think)). The first one tended to lock up, and
the second immediately crashed as soon as I inputed a single command (even if
it was as simple as "help".)  I'm not sure, but I think it might be hardware
related.  I have 500 that's about 4.5 to 5 years old, running on wb1.2 
although I usually use a 1.3 version boot disk.
