Yep, I'll be there on the Hang Gliding federation stand.
All I've heard is that the largest of the russian Antanoves (sp?)
will be there with just a hint of a possibility of a maybe that
the concorde will also be there. As for military aircraft I don't know.

Well it's nearly time for the Avalon airshow to begin.
Who is going to go? and does anybody know which aircraft
are coming from the different airforces around the world.
Be interested to hear peoples thoughts on what the airshow will
be like and then to hear discussion what they thought of it

I feel the same. I hang on to the C/MTAF frequency as long as
possible outbound because I imagine the situation you used there.
I fly a commuter with a descent IAS of about 250kts (above 5000ft)
so when inbound I call about 30nm/15nm MTAF/CTAF and again in the
circuit. Later when outbound from the C/MTAF I can imagine someone
else inbound at 250kts, so I keep the appropriate ears open until at
least 15nm - a bit of a compromise.

Apart from the over-fly situation, I usually consider the C/MTAF
boundaries as the lateral 5/15nm rather than their respective height
limits, so I don't switch frequency just because I'm through 5000ft,
though only 5nm on climb out - your inbound King Air could still be
dropping into the circuit area from there.

Regarding the use of MSKermit 3.11 as vt320/220. Where a field is highlighted 
(eg inverse video, bold, underline etc), is it possible to change that field 
to another colour, depending on the attribute specified? 

The reason is that in some of the applications we are using, the inverse video 
begins at the start of line rather than the start of the text and turns off 
after the last character of the highlighted field. I wish to set the highlight 
background to the same colour as the main background and change the colour of 
the text only. Other applications need the colour. This needs to be done within
the emulation rather than by the system. Can this be done? 

Is there a later version of MSKermit than 3.11, if so what is the ftp site
and file name?

Thank you for your assistance. Please reply to the e-mail address below if
you can help.

Hello!

A friend of mine asked me to post an article concerning his
problems with kermit.

He' s using a Microvax with kermit protocol to transfer data via
modem.
According to him there' s no problem with autodial in interactive
mode, but he doesn't succeed doing the same thing as a batch job.

Any suggestions?

I'd appreciate any comment,
thank you in advance

Publicity leaflet from Telecom contains the following useful information:

|Accuracy of the seconds epoch at the exchange is one millisecond.

Does anyone out there know of any places? Even mail

Organization: Australian Defence Force Academy, Canberra, Australia


A three-day course is being offered by the

    Centre for Information Technology Research and Development
              Australian Defence Force Academy

in              Introduction to PostScript, 

on           November 4-6, 1992 in Canberra.

Cost               $675

PostScript(TM) is a page description language, allowing 
device-independent output of text and graphics to an 
increasing range of printers.  It is a language relying on 
a processor and memory within the printer for its interpretation, 
allowing great flexibility in the format of the text or 
graphics stream, and also great power in the control of output.
Although it is a proprietary product, it has been adopted by all
of the major computer manufacturers as the main medium for hardcopy.
Its dominance of the market has been assisted by its support of
colour devices in a manner consistent with the multitude of 
black-and-white devices.

The course provides a practical introduction to PostScript
using a combination of lecture/tutorial presentations and
hands-on laboratory sessions.  Students will have access
to X terminals for document preparation and for
experimentation with a PostScript interpreter, and an
Apple LaserWriter printer.  Students will be provided
with copies of the lecture notes and a textbook.

No familiarity with UNIX or PostScript will be assumed.  At 
the end of the course, participants should have sufficient 
knowledge to incorporate PostScript logos or other 
illustrations into text documents, and solve simple problems
with PostScript output.

I had a go on one of these the other day. I was impressed with the quality
of the graphics and the ergonomics of the thing. The eyephones are reasonably 
balanced, so all the weight is not at the front, and they fitted over my glasses
with no problems. The game itself did not last a really long time (a few minutes)
and cost $5. 
 One of the guys there said they are getting a lot of people through, especially
on weekends, school hols, and lunch times. The quietest time to go is mid afternoon
on a weekday. They said that most of the time they are running Dactyl Nightmare
(run around a number of platforms and shoot at the other player and the occasional
pteradactyl) but if it's quiet they may run an adventure game (don't know the name)
which lasts much longer.

if you used the same system for the federal election labor would not even be in
power. And if you look back they probably wouldn't have won any of the recent
elections.

I find the current system of voting illegal because it affectively allows some
voters to vote more than once.

I have seen one mentioned on the news and on 'Beyond 2000' some time ago
