While on this WB Path topic I'd like to share my favorite gripe:

I hate clicking on a DOC icon and being told my WB can't find Default tool "C:m
ore".

Now, I don't know about YOUR original, virgin 1.3 WB disk but on MINE "more" li
ves
in sys:utilities/ not c:!  Who moved this thing to C:???? why does the myth liv
e on?
and WHY on a 2.0-only PD program does the DOC icon request "C:more"??? 2.0 WB 
searches paths!!! a default tool of "more" would suffice... I mean whose gonna
double click on the doc icon for a 2.0-only program under 1.3?

Whew! I feel much better.

A little while back someone posted information (kinda sounded like a press
release, actually) about a new third-party high-density floppy drive for 
the Amiga (I can't remember who the manufacturer was).  These drives were
supposed to be fully compatible with the new Commodore ones, and were also
supposed to be available sometime in August.

Could somebody please re-post or E-Mail me this information?  As usual, by
the time I figured out I was interested, the article was long gone...
 
Most specifically, I'm looking for the name/phone number/address of the
company manufacturing these...
 
Thanx in advance...

    I had something like this, for KS 1.2. It did a path, aliases and
    resident programs.

    I looked at doing it for KS 2.0 (in principle it would have been
    easier, because SetFunction()ing DOS is much more straightforward,
    and various shell things exist to make life nicer), except for one
    problem. The new Workbench tries its own path mechanism - if you
    watch it with a slick tool like SnoopDOS, it CDs to each directory
    on its path, then tries to LoadSeg() or somesuch the file from
    that directory.

    My 1.2 program worked by trapping LoadSeg(). Under 2.0, this means
    my patch would get called many times for a single user invocation
    of a program, which I think sucks. Also, it doesn't help that the
    1.2 version was shareware, which no-one registered... :)

I believe that statement takes an incorrect viewpoint.  I can say the Amiga
is a far more capable computer than Mac or IBM because it is... and to
explain myself, I offer the following rhetorical question: The great software
packages available for Mac and IBM... is the Amiga INCAPABLE of doing the
same?  Conversely, the IBM/Mac are incapable of a multitude of things that
the Amiga laughs at.  (And have you read tha A4000 article?)

If Commodore expects me to do their advertising work for them, then I expect to
be compensated in some way.  Commodore has, for almost 8 years, relied entirely
on very enthusiastic Amiga owners to do their advertising work for them. I
have personally done my share.  I am now quite sick of it.  If Commodore expects
us to adverise for them, then they need to provide us with more information.
Sure there are new machines right around the corner, but C= acts like they don't
exist!  Why should we save Commodores *SS *AGAIN* for no apparent reason?

I love my Amiga.  It is the best machine I work on (and I work on PCs and Macs
also).  I am just sick of Commodore!  The best thing that could happen to the
Amiga now is to have another company (one that knows the definition of the word
'advertise') buy out the rights to it and market it for all it is worth!!!!

For both of these products, you will need to invoke the utility to restore a
single file.  Since you obviously have a hard disk already (or you wouldn't
have much of a need for a backup utility), there isn't much of a problem
loading the utility to do your restore.  I just loaded Ami-Back (using a
ToolManager installed pull-down on my Workbench) and selected the Restore
option in under 3 seconds.  This is realy no different than typing in
"uncompress" and doesn't sound like a problem to me.

  I don't have access to "true" news groups.  I currently receive all the
posts to comp.sys.amiga.programmer as plain mail from a relay service at
udel.edu.  This is probably the case of many of those who are reading this
message.  Unfortunately, I've received a note from someone @udel.edu saying
that this service will close its doors in a few weeks.

  I know, from an "Amiga Frequently Asked Questions" posted to the I-AMIGA
Bitnet group (mine is dated July 31, 1991) that there is also a relay
service at ucbvax.berkeley.edu, which I have used successfully to post this
message you are reading.  That doc tells me to send a subscribe message to,
for instance, comp-sys-amiga-reviews-request@ucbvax.berkeley.edu to
subscribe to the reviews group, which didn't work (the mail returned with
an "user unknown" error).

  So, I would really like to know from those of you who read amiga
newsgroups through some kind of relay, which ones are available, and how do
you subscribe to them.

  Thanks a lot,
  Bruno.

PS:  The place I work is fully connected to Internet, but it doesn't
receive any newsgroups.  If receiving the Amiga newsgroups incurs in no big
overheads for the mail server (I'm the only one reading them), I think I
could talk the sysadm into installing the news software.  What do you say?

Check out Jumpdisk
          1493 Mt. View Ave.
          Chico, CA  95926
          USA

I've been a regular subscriber and contributor for the last 4 years or so and
the editor (Richard Ramella) has always bent over backwards to keep his
subscribers happy.  Most of the stuff on the monthly disks is contributed by
subscribers so the quality of materials varies somewhat, but it's generally ok.  

If you write programs for the Amiga for fun, you may seriously want to
consider sending them to Jumpdisk for profit.  He only buys 1-time publication
rights--you retain all rights to your work.  They've put out a disk every month
for the last 5 years or so--longer than any other disk-based magazine.

In contrast to AMNews (which burned me out of $300 worth of contributed
materials that they published anyway) and AWToolChest (which I nearly burned
when, well, there was a mix-up on their part) I have never had any trouble
dealing with Jumpdisk.  Just my $0.02 worth.

My copy works better than CDROM-FS from CPR. I bought AsimCDFS because
CDROM-FS was crashing, and I wasn't getting much help from CPR about
it (they blamed bugs in either CBM's A3000 scsi.device, or the ROM on
the CDROM drive). AsimCDFS doesn't have this problem.

It could be because AsimCDFS is slower (I don't know that it is,
though), and doesn't trigger the bugs in question.

AsimCDFS comes with a CD-ROM, which is a nice touch.

Date: Mon, 27 Jul 1992 20:46:53 GMT
Disclaimer: This posting represents the poster's views, not necessarily those of IBM
Organization: IBM T. J. Watson Research Center

Since there have been several postings on whether or not people should get 
a CDTV or CD-ROM drive and which drive should people get, I decided to
post my experiences in the hopes that others can use them.

I bought a CDTV as an experiment. I liked the concept and wished to play
with it. (Not to mention, you can drop your nephew in front of it and relax.)
I then quickly realized there was an entire Amiga inside and setup a kybd,
drives, and parnet to connect to my other Amiga. By using parnet off of the
floppy I could read the CD-ROMs from my 3000 and use the 3000s Hard 
Drives from the CDTV.

Later I decided to also purchase a CD-ROM drive for my 3000, partially due 
to the relocation of the CDTV and partially due to the transfer speeds. So, I
looked and found the cheapest CD-ROM drive available ($199 from DAK) and
purchased that one (NEC CDR-80), purchased the CDROM-FS from Canadian
Prototype Research (What is in a name?) Upon changing my SCSI address of
the Hard Drive I booted AmigaDOS to be lower than the SCSI address of the
CD-ROM drive I had a very workable system.

So, my experiences and opinions are as follows....

Benefits of CDTV <-> Amiga setup.
1: Could use either machine independantly of one another.
2: Could have access of CD-ROM from 3000 and vice versa.
3: Really impressive looking ($10.00 networking is great.)

Drawbacks to CDTV <-> Amiga setup
1: Cost of setup (must buy two machines)
2: Machines must be closer than 50 ft 
3: Speed of transfer a bit slow.

Benefits of CD-ROM drive in Amiga
1: cheaper than buying CDTV ($800 vs $199)
2: faster transfer rates (600 Kb/s vs 220 Kb/s) (my speeds)
3: integrated system. Can use both systems with different disks.

Drawbacks of CD-ROM drive in Amiga
1: different caddy for CD-Rom drive than CDTV. (pain in the a&&)
2: If CD-ROM is lower than Amiga Boot SCSI device, Amiga took
    3 min to boot instead of 9 secs.

LHA on my Amiga. 

This leads to my second question:  is there an IFF (amiga format)
to GIF conversion utility somewhere?  I just want to be able to
ultimately convert the IFF into postscript while on Unix.  
The PBMPLUS conversion utilities don't do IFFs.

Any help would be appreciated.  Thanks.

Please reply by mail.
