    I do agree that piracy is sickening.
    However, I doubt that Amigiods can get WP to continue with an Amiga
version. Why not? Well, the numbers I saw said that in 1991 (I beleive), the
"Other" column (including ALL Commodore, Atari, and "non-MSDOS" Tandys) was
less than ONE PERCENT of total computer sales. Workstations were much higher.
So why continue to produce a product for a "dead" computer?

I spent the weekend setting up ToolManager 2.0, and I must say that it takes 
quite a bit of work, and performing repetetive tasks to get the thing running.

What happened to the App Window?  The reason I switched from Tools Daemon to
TM in the first place was the fact that adding new programs was as easy as
dragging an icon over the App Window.  Now to get a program into a dock or
menu, I have to edit an EXEC entry (no App Window), edit an IMAGE entry 
(no App Window), edit a DOCK entry (no App Window), and edit a MENU entry
(no App Window).  This is 4 times the ammount of work that it should be.

How do you set up *HORIZONTAL* docks?  All I can seem to get it to do is make 
vertical ones.

Don't think that I am *FLAMING* the program, because I am not--I like it 
very much.  But, I think that it could be made a lot more *USER-FRIENDLY*

I already have a B2000 with the following specification:

	(1) 1.2 Kickstart
        (2) 20  Mega/Byte Hard disk.
        (3) CPU standard 68000

I have looked at upgrading the above machine to the following

     	(1) GVP G-Force 030 50Mhz Combo -50Mhz 68030
            50Mhz 68882, 8 Mega/Byte ram SCSI controler

    	(2) 120 Mega/Byte hard disk.
	(3) 2.04 Kickstart + Workbench to suit.
        (4) DCTV
        (5) MegaChip 2000 2Meg Agnus

The main use of my machine is running Read3D, creating raytraced
animations. ie Rendering. What I want to know is (1) does anyone
have any comments on the above upgrade. (2) Would I be better to
upgrade  to a 040  board. (3) or  would I do better to sell  the 
B2000 and buy a Amiga 4000. If so does anyone know the price of
an Amiga 4000 + Appropriate monitor in the UK I have heard about
2500 pounds.

Must be a very small garage.  Either that, or they also look down on us

I have never gotten notified of bug-fixes for any of the software I have

Dear fellow netters,

I own an A2000 with RCS68040 accelerator and love it. I have noticed
however that ADAM and the LAZi shell, both written with CanDo, crash
50% of the time when run in copyback mode. I disactivate the 68040's
copyback and the problem does not reoccur. Only CanDo apps seem to
do this. I cannot help but think...

Can anybody offer any suggestions/feedback.

Thanks in advance.

Subject: Are there any PD bad block fixers ?
Keywords: n

Organization: McGill University - Montreal, CANADA.

Hello, fellow amigoDwellers. I own an A2000+RCS68040 system coupled to
a 120Mb Quantum hard drive (GVP series II controller) and my problem is
as follows:

I mistakenly filled up DH1: to the brim while doing a test 24-bit rendering
and obtained a conventional error message of "DH1: is full". Fine. I then
proceeded to clean-up my DH1: partition of unwanted material. A day
goes by...

This morning, I boot ze machine and what do I find ? A bad block error.
Dismayed at the penalty for my recklessness, I then run QB5.0 to obtain
a quick scan of the partition. The latter reports many bad blocks.
What kind of an OS is this ? A system that is disk-space aware should never
give applications the benefit of the doubt and allow them to write to a
full partition. Anyway, grumbling about Commodore, bugs, gurus and the like,
I decided to back up all essential data and proceed to a full partition
format.

This long-winded speech leads me to ask the following question: Is
there a public domain program that will scan a partition for bad
blocks/sectors/tracks and attempt a safe repair of said area.

I have heard of QuarterBack tools both in good and in bad. Is there
anything else ?

Your comments will be appreciated.

Thanks. 

Alex.

As to your last question, yes.

The easiest way to insert raw codes in your document is to use "Insert
Literal" from the Format (?) menu. Make sure you're referring to the right
character set when you're checking the printer manual for the correct codes.

I use this method to get "double-width character" headings in my documents
quite successfully.

When I tried one of the earlier versions of WP (not the very first,
but also not the most recent), it crashed like hell on me, so that
I deleted it from my machine only after one or two hours. Yet I had
a colleague who obviously knew what to avoid and who used it heavily
day for day. But I never discovered this secret how to achieve this.

I use a patched version of the ASDG-rrd or VD0: as its more commonly
called.  It works fine on my '030 machine under 2.04.

A "readme" that came with it states:

  This is the famous ASDG recoverable RAM disk patched such that it will
operate on an Amiga 3000.

Note to non-3000 owners:
  This version of VD0: is capable of using memory outside of the normal
auto-configure memory space.  This version is not recommended for use on
machines with `half-fast' memory located at $C00000 as this memory will get
corrupted

I got this off a local BBS.

   The latest release of WordPerfect for the Amiga is 4.1.12.  You can check
the version you have by pressing the "Help" key from within the program.
The current version number will be displayed at the top of the help window.

fair enough - it's just a shame CBM couldn't come out with an addendum
kit for existing 2.04 owners (like I thought the idea of going to ring

well I think Apple's always worked on the basis 'buy your hardware
and get the OS for free (forever)', then again Apple's prices seem
to be artificially inflated to allow them to do this (and I hear
talk of them stopping handing out upgrades for free from sys7.1 on).

	I just recieved info regarding the FC II upgrade.  It costs $30
	for registered users up until October 31st.  After that it's $60.
	Looks like it's worth the $30 bucks.  My cheque is in the mail.
