I just saw a video called DinoSaur Town, where some kids turn on their parents
dimensional probe experiment (thinking it was a VCR) and get transported back
in time to a pretty corny age of dinosaurs. Anyway, there are several shots
of an Amiga 1084 with a blue rotating 3d view of a black hole grid. It's
well done and appears several times during the first half hour.

this is the FIRST think anyone has wanted that I haven't been able to
find on wuarchive! Archie told me it was available from ftp.uni-kl.de
in /pub/amiga/music      MUSIC !?

anyway, I downloaded it and it apprears to be what everyone was looking
for, so I've uploaded it to wuarchive. It's in /systems/amiga/incoming/audio.
This is the first time I've tried to upload there, so please let me know
if you have problems downloading it!

> i haven't learned to use archie yet.

No problem. Time for another lesson:

1) Connect to an archie server. I use TELNET ARCHIE.AU
2) Login as ARCHIE
3) Enter SET PAGER to make everything come to you a page at a time
4) Enter PROG TALK.LZH and wait for the info to appear
5) There's a command to find out where all the archie servers are so
that you can go to the one nearest you. I haven't got a list handy at
the moment. I think the command is HELP SERVER or HELP SERVERS or
SHOW SERVERS or (you get the idea). There is a help system you can use.

hope this helps

  Hi:

    I have read on some magazine an article about a cruncher called
CrunchMania. It's a PowerPacker style program, but it includes the source
for uncompress the data.

    Do you know something about this utility?
    Is it Public Domain?
    Do you know where (ftp site) can I found it?

Another message pointed out that the correct address was
listserv@wugate.wustl.edu.

However, there is no list called 'AMIGA' and there is no list called
'NEW-AMIGA'.  I just tried to subscribe and got messages back to that
effect.  You can send the command HELP in the body of the message for
help or LISTS in the body of the message for a list of the available
mailing lists there.

This is not the first time I've seen a message pointing to these lists,
yet they don't seem to exist.  Is there something special that needs to
be done to subscribe?

The latest copy can be found on archie.au or wuarchive.wustl.edu
GCC is a C and C++ compiler from GNU. It is free, but don't bother getting
it unless you can give it about 10Meg of your hard drive space.

As the tape drive is a 5.25inch 1/2 height unit you'll have quite a
bit of trouble fitting it in a 3.5 inch bay.  It will fit quite nicely
in the 5.25 inch bay of an A2000 though.

do you expect? Some secret messages? OK..here we go: First of all, I wish to
thank all the countless people who made this possible (sounds great, doesn't

us this gorgeous operating system!      Do you like this program? If you send

   This is not an Amiga related question, but anyway...
   Check the book "Zen and the Art of Internet". This is an postscript file
available on the net, describing what Internet is, how to use it, available
services, how to use Usenet, Bitnet, etc. A very good source of info. Evebody
who needs to use an e-mail network should read it.

You may find some of the more recent issues of Amiga World helpful.  They
have been discussing accelerators and ram expansions.  Too bad the GVP
line is so pricey.  Their new A530 Turbo looks superb (full review in the
latest issue of AW)!  However, for the price, the VXL accelerator is a
good bet.  For best performance the VXL 30 needs the RAM daughterboard,
which can be populated with 32-bit ram, and also includes a ROM socket (so
I've been told by the VXL rep).  I've seen the VXL 30 with 2mb ram
daughterboard advertized for as little as $450 US.

I think you're looking for a program called Talk, by
Jon Sherman (sp??).  I got it from a local bbs as
talk.lha.  Haven't tried it yet, but it's supposed to allow
you to use digitized phonems.

  I've never even heard of VXL,  I'm interested in purchasing an 030 of
some sort fairly soon.  Where can I get hard-copy information on VXL??

Is AdSpeed compatible with Black Knight Peripheral's Chip Ram
accelerator?

What happened to ab20?  I never even knew it was down.
