Try the commodity "Click To Front". Then you can click ANYWHERE on an
obscured window and it will pop to front. Very useful indeed.

Hello.  What is the current version of Viruschecker?   I thought I saw mention
	of a 6.20 somewhere, but the latest version I can find is 6.15.  I
	checked wuarchive, hubcap etc and can't seem to find anything.

Evidentally, this was the height of their day.  Poor fools that they be,
they probably can't even imagine the things that an A3000 does routinely.

Yes, it has 16 MB *address* space, but this space has to be shared among
RAM and I/O and ROM. They left a little room in the specifications of
which address range is reserved for which purpose (so being prepared for
the big future), and so there were reserved only 10 of the 16 MB for
use as RAM, and again 2 of this as Chip RAM, so you can add 8 MB Fast RAM.

Nothing to it, Peter.  Remember the old formula for converting F to C?

Something like:  (F-32) x 5/9 = C  and  (C x 9/5) + 32 = F

It would be "real nice" if the folks at SoftWood would get their act together
and use the standard CG fonts instead of adding yet another proprietary font
format to the Amiga.

The drive gets a reset signal from the cpu which causes it to
spin down and up again. You can fix this by cutting the reset
line on the IDE cable (the red one).

	You shouldn't have any problem running your computer below 0C, just as
long as you don't use your floppy or hard drives.  I owned a lowly C64, and it
had no problems running below freezing, but the 1541diskdrive made even worse
noise than usuall.  Comparing a C64 to an amiga is a sin, but I would expect
that for just computing, there would be no problem.  I would avoid any hard
drive use... but if you don't mind a higher than normal floppy failure rate,
you'd probably be set working off floppy.
	Just don't let the computer heat up to room temp (25C) too fast in a
humid room, you'll get dew condensation on its surfaces, and surely this cannot
be good for any computer.  This is probably the worst thing that low
temperatures could do to your computer, outside of harddrive media failure
from a 'tight' harddrive read/write mechanism.

An interesting statement when one considers that the Amiga drive DO read Mac
disks directly, when an AMAX-II+ card is installed in the A2000/3000/4000.
Furthermore, if one has the 1.76 meg HD floppy drives, one may read and write
to Mac and PC 1.44 meg formatted disks as well as the lower density 720k and
800k disks.

Uh, if I may interject here... ?

Many times I've found that the manuals written by *programmers* are difficult
for the non-programmers/casual users to decipher.  They assume that their
audience has the computerese background to read between the lines and
understand the "missing" information.  (Not that anything is missing here,
I wouldn't know, I haven't yet bothered with the program. Nor do I know the
computer expertise of the poster).  So, from my experience (as one who
*always* RTFM, though rarely understands it without a question or two)
I find that comment to be quite rude because it makes an assumption that
you don't know to be true.  If you wish to help someone, there is no reason
to insult them while doing so.

A more polite way of stating it would be: "Have you read the manual?"  This
makes no assumptions whatsoever and gently reminds the poster of something
that may have slipped their mind.  You can then follow up with "If not,
here's how it's done:"

Re-read your post as though it were directed at yourself.  How would YOU
feel if someone told you, publicly, to RTFM?  Hmmm...??

I've seen that phrase too many times and it really gets my hackles up. (As
well as those posts where someone says "I assume you asked that because 
you want to do XXX" without first clarifying just WHAT the poster is asking
about.  An irrelevent answer to the poster's questions merely wastes 
bandwidth)

Please do not make assumptions without clarifying a person's position first.

Thank you.

Of course, this is why there's a minimum recommended operating temperature,

I own ProWrite 3.2 and a Panasonic KX-P1080i (an 8 pin junky ole' printer.)
Once I got the program to print fonts to the printer, but I messed around
with the dips for another program, and I could never get it to work again.
Aargh. So, the question is:

         What dip configuration do I need to use ProWrite 3.2 and the
               KX-P1080i (w/ a 1 meg 500 and 2 floppies, no hd)
                                    ?????


If anybody could answer (via email, preferably), I'd really really really
appreciate. I'd also be glad to answer any specific questions you might have
concerning my system. Thanks a lot!

Subject: HELP!!! validating HD

Does anyone know how to correct this problem?  About every 6 months a
situation will arise where the system crashes while it is writing to the
hard disk.  When I reboot, I get a disk error due to a bad key.  The disk
won't validate.  I can still read from it except for the file that was being
written when the crash occurred.  I cannot, however, write to the hard disk
because it is not validated.  I usually reformat the disk and start from
scratch, but it seem like it should be fixable.  (Like if you could override
the need for validation and erase the corrupt file). Any ideas? or pd programs
I should know about?
  Much Thanks
