If the WV-1600 has its own internal sync, it should work. The very inexpensive
B/W cameras are designed for survalence(sp) and have no internal sync they're
kind of daisy chained together and run off one sync source. The WV-1600 I
suspect has a internal/external sync switch like my WV-1410 if for on other
reason than it has a higher model number. :-)

Speaking of powerpacker and  powerpacker patcher. Is there any program
out there that does what the powerpacker patcher does except for
imploaded files?

Howdy

Does anyone know of a program for the amiga which can be used for
drawing circuit diagrams. You know, chips, wires, and gates etc.

All I need is a name and I can look it up on archie.
Please note I only have 2megs so it cant be big and it should be WB2.0
compatible.

Many thanks.

Subject:      DF1: emulation-problems!!!

From: Stavros K. Philippidis
      Student in Mathematic's dept. at University of Salonica
To  :(everyone able to answer)

Dear sir,
 I found your internet  , and I wrote to you
 for a problem I have:

 I own an Atari-ST emulator , wich needs a second flopy-drive (DF1:) to work.
 I have an Amiga-500 with 1MB (512KB CHIP-RAM), NO external flopy or hard
 disk-drives (NO DF1: or DH0:), and want to use this emulator. (Note that
 I have Kickstart 1.3)

 After working with the emulator on a friend's machine, I noticed that the
 emulator DOES'T REALLY USE the DF1:, it just want's to 'SEE' it while
 booting on emulation-mode.
 My question is: Do you have any way (software or hardware) to full the
 system that I have a DF1: ??? Note that the emulator cheks if I have a
 DF1:,  A F T E R  booting in emulation-mode, and DOESN'T use it afterwards.
 Also note that this is the reason your DEGRADER program doesn't give results,
 by setting DF1: of  (DF1: --) DF4:). I personally tried some RAD:-tricks,
 but nothing worked.



(NOTE: Please send your answers both to me AND to I-AMIGA-list)


 I wrote to you because I know that you have an answer to my problem


 Please respond, and don't tell me to 'buy a DF1: because it's cheap', or
 telling me that 'you cannot have 880K FDD with 1MB', because I explayned
 that the emulator DOESN'T realy needs a DF1: to operate. It just wants
 to see it while rebooting in emulation-mode, and forgets it (= it uses
 df0: afterwards) after that.
 I am waiting for your answer.

Yes, but even Commodore realize that Video isn't the only application for the
Amiga, there are people out there doing DTP, CAD, and programming, all of them
restricted to the small size of a no-interlace screen. Why can't somebody
work on ProPage or whatever on a big screen, if he/she wants to? I guess
commodore made a mistake not including a de-interlacer ala 3000, or better
yet, give a composite video output, and leave the hi-scan rates to a better
monitor.

Jordan,

I'm not sure, but you might be looking for something like pageflipper, or just
using the paging of anim screens within DeluxePaint IV.  Although, I would have
thought that the buffered screen mode with AV would have been effective.

I have used AV for presentations, substituting the mouse for the usual "pickle"
switch by extending the cable with a joystick extension from Radio Shack.  It
worked fine for my purposes and allowed the incorporation of simple animation
sequences and music.

With that much money, you could get an A3000 system with a 1960 monitor.
You would then have the expansion slots you would not have with a A1200.
At under $1500 for an A3000 w/52M hd and 2M ram and the Scala software
makes a very attractive package (a friend just bought one).

If enough people want I will look at breaking up the archive into smaller
pieces.  First off I will send a note to Markus Wild to get permission to break
up his archive.  If he gives his permission, I will try to break it done into
something like 700 KB to 800 KB each.

what disk based docs? I didn't find any. Although I am told that the Arexx

Mailer: Elm [revision: 66.25]

Yo,

  I found at a hosts some (well, a lot) DEM files.
  I just downloaded some, but the problem is : these are all uncompressed
  around 1 MB big !
  Is there a program to split them, or simplify them, because with my 3mb
  of mem Vista (pro) hardly works.

     Regards,

        Aeneas.


PS. I got them from

   ftp.uni-kl.de

 /pub1/dem

I ordered from Briwall ONCE, I ordered a CBM 1960 monitor. I was shipped a
defective monitor, no problem I contacted them and was shipped another one.
The second monitor was also defective even though it was supposed to be checked
prior to shipment. I contacted them again and could not get them to return my
calls. I finally got through but the company would not give me any reasonable
results. I then contacted my VISA company and stopped payment on the transaction
   I consider this completely unacceptable for a company, and will not do any
business with this company again.

Well, first "THE" editor must be fast and easy to use, configurable.
It must have macros. It must be able to put the macro on any key on the
keyboard. I use macros very much, because it is somewhat faster
to write a macro in CygnusEd then to write an ARexx script or C program.
It must have vertical blocks (cut/paste). I must have an ARexx interface.
It must run in a window or on a screen (selectable X/Y size, interlace on/off,
selectable screen colors). It must have a possibility to start other programs.
It must have jump to next/previous word/sentence, end of line,
visible space/tabs/escape codes, possibility to entry all ASCII codes (0-255)
and also display them (CED displays inversed characters). It must have block
search, forward/back.

Now after so many "It must..."'s: All this functions are implemented in
CygnusEd, the only thing I don't like are the pretty outdated requesters
(req.library). They don't look too good under 2.04.

I don't think that combining an editor with a word-processor would be too
good, because the resulting executable would be too large. CygnusEd is
much on the edge of the executable size I would like to have.

Hi, I'v just upgraded my A500 1.3 to wb2.0, and in the handbook it says that
the FFS (Fast File System) with wb2.0 has been upgraded. It also says that
it is therefore advisable to reformat any hard drives that use the 1.3 version
of FFS, to obtain a speed increase.

Does anybody know any more about this and is it worth the trouble???

(also how do you close the folder that comes with the WB2.05 upgrade pack
once you have inserted all the docs, as it is to thick for the binder !! ;-)


thanks in advance
