	Well, a newsgroup is not received in the Mail.  It is
available to anyone having access to Usenet News.  That means that
anyone logging on to a BBS or Unix Box can read it.  You can sort
of think of a newsgroup like a BBSes message area.  They have
message sections in which anyone having access to that message area
can read.  However, not everyone can read your mail.  It is
restricted to you alone.

*** Resending note of 10/02/92 11:50
I'm interested in finding any non-commercial database programs for the Amiga.
I've done some looking around, but nothing has jumped out at me.  I'm looking
for something a bit more complex than a phone directory, but any sort of
database program is better than what I've got now (nothing).

Any hints?

RE: bridgeboards

        C= does indeed make a 386sx bridgeboard.  Its advantage over its
predecessors (besides speed) is that it uses your own internal drive rather
than needing an external.  Origionally, the price sounded great.  Unfortunately,
somewhere along the line the introductory price was raised several hundred
making it fairly exensive.  It lists for around $899US and retails _around_
(depending on whether dealer or mail order) $550US.  Hope this helps.  BTW,
you can buy your SVGA card of choice and use it with the bridgeboard.  If you
only use the software, you will get CGA or monochrome VGA.  This will most l
likely change with the 4000 and AGA chipsets since they will directly support
256colors hires.  However, that would only apply to VGA (640X400) resolutions
and not SVGA range of resolutions.  --Either way you would probably do well
to get a SVGA card.  They are resonably cheap anyway.

What you have not stated is how you get the files from your Unix account to your
Amiga.  I d/l to a Sun Unix w/s and must use kermit in a 7-bit protocol or use
uuencode to transfer files to my system.  I have to do this because the Sun is
configured for 7E1 and therefore all binary files transfered as 8-bit data lose
their 8th bit to parity.

Can anybody help me?
I am learning to play the Piano but haven't got one to practice on.
My son however has an Amiga 600 and I am aware that there are music packages
available.
I want to know where I can get my hands on a weighted, if possible full sized,
keyboard, (not a synth), that will plug into our amiga, with the relevant
software.And also how much it would cost.

Thanks,

C.A.Williams.

Subject:      Re: How do I validate! I'm going CRAZY!

Pete:

Others may amend this, but this is what I think your situation is:

Your system attempts to validate whenever it looks at a new disk or partition,
and is reporting that it is unsuccessful in the case of this particular
partition.  Therefore, that partition can _not_ be validated and must be
repaired or reformated.

There are utilities, such as Disk Mechanic (and others) which can be used to
repair some types of scrambled directories and sector mapping problems, but the
best thing to do is usually to use Diskdoctor or Disksalv (PD by Dave Haynie)
to salvage the files from the partition to other storage media and reformat the
partition.  Then save the salvaged files back to the partition.  Of course, you
may have a backup archive.

Subject:      New UK Amiga for Xmas?

Here's an article I was given by a collegue this morning.

--------------------------------------------------------



New games Amiga for Xmas ?

The Amiga family looks virtually certain to be extended to include a new
mass market leisure machine before Christmas.

The startling news came out of the back of CBM's launch of the high end
A4000. The leading edge machine, with an entry level price of UKP1999, features
a new AA custom chip set giving it stunning new graphic capabilities.

With the new technology, the A4000 can feature up to 256,000 colours on-screen
from a pallette of 16.7 million. It also means there would be no limit on the
size of sprites used in games (the potential is as big as the screen) and
the firm boasts it would produce "perfect scrolling" and graphics "at least
5 times as good" as those offered by the Amiga currently.

Commodore's boss Kelly Sumner confirmed to CTW that an Amiga aimed at the games
market featuring the chipset would be launched "sometime in the future". When
pushed, he added it could well arrive before Christmas.

He would give no details on price, although if it is aimed at the games market
and a standalone version leads the way, it could sell for a low,low price.

Whilst fighting shy of getting into any detail Sumner and Commodore are
obviously excited by the new machine and it is almost inevitable that they
will bring the machine in before Christmas and that it will lead the line
next year.

The A600, already a UKP299 standalone option, would still be a mass market
machine  but not "the aspirational home computer" as Commodore beleives the
flagship Amiga should always be.

In reference to Atari's own attempt to grab the number one home computer slot
in 1993, Sumner offered: "A leisure machine with this chipset would be a far
more significant development".


-------------------------------------------------------------

I think this is from this weeks Computer Trade Weekly - thanks to them
for a good article, I hope they don't mind us posting it!



Interesting!

If the partition you need to validate is under 50 meg, I would use the
program called FixDisk from FF403.  I have used it with much success.
I is also useful for retrieving files accidently deleted.  It is my
hard disk tool of choice.

Not true. Version one of "Zen" was released in source form in the GNU spirit.
The author has since written version 2 which is being commercially published,
and is at work on version 3. I've got the source (in TeXinfo, not TeX, for
those of you who know about such things), though I can't remember exactly where
I got it.  I think maybe a friend sent it to me; it was, and may still be, on
the net somewhere. Unfortunately, I'm not on the internet (just bitnet) so I
can't easily make this available for ftp'ing. If I don't get overwhelmed by
requests I could send out the ASCII TeX source directly. Send requests to
guichard@whitman.bitnet.

There is program on a more recent Fish (around 720?) called bBaseII.
It's a database program and it's probably PD or shareware, the
description did not say it was crippleware.  Other than that I know
nothing about it.

I found out what is going on in regards to the inability to decompress
the UPD files which accompany the Toolmanger 2.0.  THe latest version of
LHA is needed to decompress it.  Otherwise, the attempt at decompression
will fail!

it is a common mis-conception that windows requires some high level 386 pc.
In fact - you can install windows on a 286 model with only ega graphics.  286's
come stock with only 1meg of memory and a 40meg hard drive, but you can run
5.0 msdos and 3.1 windows fine. (of course even with a mouse.  Of course getting
a better graphics card helps -and so does adding memory, but I see no reason
why we couldent do that on the bridgeboard.

do yourself a favor though - and definatly get some higher cpu -cause it will
just drive you nuts.  also I hear the ega on the bridgeboard is quite slow -
so chip in 50 bucks and get a vga card. :) (or even a nice windows excelerator
card. :)

     It likes RAM.  Lots of it.  I couldn't get it to work at all with
 1 meg at all.  I've since upgraded to 5 and it works find.  Also,
 set your stack to as high as you can afford.  30000 is suggested in
 the docs, I'd use more.

     There is a version 1.00 Beta.  I'm fairly sure it's the latest.
 The documentation isn't that great.

     All I bothered to do with it so far is run the examples.  They worked,
 although slowly.

     Possibly the most disturbing revelation in recient months is
     that Woody Allen has a far more exciting sex life than me.
