Back in my ol' A500 512K, 1 flop days, It was quite difficult to get a DMS
to unpack.  The DMS's weren't 900K, but the disk is 800K.

So, I need to fit the DMS archive, DMS itself, and certain "C" directory
programs all on one disk.  You can run out of space REALLY quick!

I downloaded all the files in  /PartyII/More_Music  that began with the word
"mod." and discovered that a most promisingly named mod doesn't appear to 
work with Multi-Player on a 2000 under 2.04 and 1mg agnus.

Is the problem with the mod?  Or do I need to use a different player?
Is the file corrupt?

The title of this shows promise in not being a typical techno style mod, and
the first 3 seconds sound promising also, but it locks up multiplayer... :<

Has anyone had any luck with it?  It's called mod.Orient-A-Magic.lha

How about some fucking respect?  If it weren't for them, that demo
wouldn't even work on your machine!  Most people can ignore the comment

Hello again!

This time I tested the intros from the Party II. I got
some real nice results this time! Only one intro didn't
work at all with 68030!

What I did was to put all intros in a new formatted disk,
and just installed it. No startup, nothing at all. Just a
plain disk. Then I boot it and run the intro. I did this
because some intros seems to use absolute adresses.

In the comment field I put some information what needed
to do to get better results, like turning of data cache
or all caches.

My configuration is:

A2000
A2630 (68030 with 4 Meg 32bit memory)
A2320 Flicker Fixer
8Up Memory card with 6 Meg (only using 4)
GVP Serie I SCSI card
ECS Agnus and ECS Denise (1 Meg Chip)
2.04 ROM (37.175)

(The accelearor card is switchable to 68000 in bootup)

Hi!

After getting reports that the Spaceball demo DO RUN on
68030 I retested the demos. This time with help of DEGRADER!
It seems that most of the demos doesn't like the cache
memory!! I did the following with degrader:

Selected [NoCache] and [Priviliged] and then pressed [SurviveReset].


My configuration is:

A2000

The Skid Row fixed version works on all Amigas, whereas the unfixed
version only works on a stock A500.  Or at least non-accelerated

Please, if and before you delete something from nic, let us know and give
us a good long warning.  I personally plan to (eventually) grab EVERYTHING
(except most of the mods & grafx), and I'm working from the bottom up
just in case you delete the lousy stuff without warning :).  (I guess
this is one of those times when a faster-than-1200 modem would help ;).

BTW, a MILLION thanks for uploading JesusOn-Es-2.DMS in TWO parts.  It

hold).

You'll need to give more info (vmsnet.pdp-11 would be more
appropriate, or comp.sys.dec[.micro])  Whether you can install
unix (or a derivative) depends on what model pdp-11.

Right on Roy, I should have noted in the post that the method I was
suggesting was a quick & dirty way to move the planets and get quick
observations.  It's short and sweet to get a general understanding of
movement by solar arc without all the tekkie stuff.

Did I do that? Didn't mean to.

 They are two very different ways to move the chart forward.

Then there's tertiary - do you follow that technique as well?

What does "afflicted" mean in connection to a planet? What makes a
planet afflicted, and what's the result?

Similarly, define "elevated".

Thanks for your insight. I'm pulling it all together, and I'll publish

I would like to know--since I'm a Scorpio--what "the stars"
have to say with regard to Scorpions and whatever sign
corresponds to people born in July. Are our prospects of
compatibility good?

By the way, my old lover was a Virgo. Is this compatible
with Scorpio in any special way? Although we broke up we
both seem to feel we are somehow complementary in tempera-
ment and remain good friends.

I welcome your analyses by e-mail...

Yours truly,

Hi Carol,

Re: your Amy Fisher birth data.  The wife was not killed.  Very

Also, as far as I remember, there is residual paralysis on the

She and her "wonderful hubby" are going to be on the Phil Donohue

    What reasons do you have to believe that planets are the sole influence of
everything that be? What is the purpose of life if its ALL predestined and 
predicitable? I'm not a born and bred astrologer, but I certainly have at 
least an elementary knowledge of the subject. I'm not suggesting however that
astrology is false, or incorrect.. But, more that how can any one system have
all the answers? There hasn't been much to say about this here or anywhere as
the general philosophy seems to be "be one" or "don't". One starts dancing
with hypocrisy when an ability to rearrange is inherent in every individual.
    An interesting question is however, why has the earth itself never been
a part of the astrological equation? I mean, if we're talking about influence
most certainly the earth is going to have the most impact(being the closest).
    I'm not stating any of this as assault on older methodology, but more as
an alternate way of looking at an interesting subject. Please keep in mind
that all "correctness" of any one method is strictly in the light of its
conceivablity to its researcher. I think the "chance" has been left out
the astrological equation as humans hunt for definte answers, and they
rather call it a "science" than a "philosophy".

Greetings to all.

I am sure some of you have noticed, however no one has commented:

Tomorrow's (1-8-1993) Sun/Uranus/Neptune opposition to Moon/Mars is
coinciding with the lastest US-Iraq showdown.  Does anyone care to
comment on where the axis of this opposition (tension) falls in the
charts of the respective countries?

Let's hope that calmer heads will prevail!

Greg
