Thats what i was saying Gary.  I know some people don't have FTP.  But what 
use would it be to you to have the mods stored on another FTP site just incase
you didn't get it when it hit usenet???

Nevermind.  I still vote for a comp.sys.mods

SoundTracker 2.6  (st206.dms on ab20...only for three weeks, though, *Sob!*)
does this same exact thing.  And yep, it's incompatible ;)

Subject:      More stuff about Mods on the Mac
Newsgroups:   comp.sys.amiga.audio

 Thanks to a great deal of input from a number of people in this group,
I found a utility that I could decompress .lharc files on my mac. The
only thing now is, when I try to ftp something from ab20.larc.nasa.gov,
the things I get back are not accepted by the utility even though they
are said to be a .lharc file. What am I doing wrong here? Is there a
certain type of mode I need to be in when I do this? When I typed in
get <blah blah blah>, I got a message back that said the file could be
of type binary. So I send the command type I, and downloaded the file.
Nothing would expand when I got it back to my computer though.
 I'm just a little lost.

Thanks in advance,

The slow access if becuase it's an Australian site - it must go through
a satellite link to the US (I presume). This is very expensive to the
net. The site is a mirror of several archive sites - ab20 for amiga,
and a bunch of GNU and PC archive sites. It's purpose is to _cut_down

you miss the point that all posted mods WILL BE DOWNLOADED to your

putting them in alt.mods or some such seems like a good idea...  my .02 worth

But the point is to have an archive of all of the mods sent. Sort 
of like the comp.sys.amiga.binaries and sources rooms that 
were(Sniff) kept on ab20. When a file os posted there, it goes 
there so people who HAVE ftp access, and miss the file when it is 
sent, can just go and get it.

I say we could start the groups as soon as we find someone to 
operate it, and have it running WHILE we look for an archive site.

I'm considering buying some MIDI gear for my A3000.  What I would like to 
know is:
 
1)  How good is KCS?
2)  How good is P&P Pro?
3)  Is there a MIDI card for the Amiga that'd work on the 3000?
4)  Which is a better patch editor?  X-Or, MIDI Quest, or Patch Meister?
5)  Can you use internal sounds (samples) in B&P and KCS?  If I'm not
    mistaken, you need an internal sounds kit for B&P.  Which of the two
    has better support/options for internal sounds?  And can these 
    internal sounds be sequenced with MIDI external sounds?
6)  Is there a MIDI program that has block style notation for drum 
    programming?
7)  Are there better programs than KCS or B&P Pro?  Or are they the best
    packages?  There doesn't seem to be too many to choose from (at least
    via mail order)
 
I'd appreciate it if all comments, opinions, and answer were mailed to the 
address at the end of this message.  Thanks in advance.

	I'd have to agree with Jeff - Blue Ribbon Softworks doesn't deserve 
flak.  They have been very prolific in the Amiga community and B&P Pro is a 
great, and innovative, product.  I have also used SuperJam! a bit and true, it
isn't great with the TurboSamples, but with MIDI, it shines!  I can't comment
on the demo version of it, but the real program is very useful - and I'm sure
I have only touched the surface of it....

Hi,

I just downloaded the SuperJam demo tonight from an excellent Amiga BBS here in
Vancouver (TunnelVision). It worked without any problems and I was surprized at
the good sound quality of the turbosamples - I had
expected them to SUCK (as Wayne and Garth would say) but on my A2000 with a GVP
accelerator they sounded fine. NO WAY! ---> WAY!

The demo also included an instruction readme file but it's very brief.

My 2 cents,

  That's a valid concern.  However, there are alt. groups that are exclusively
  devoted to GIFs (which are of comparable size to MODs).  The way it is
  done is to uuencode the compressed binary file, split it into parts
  small enough for e-mail to handle, then post it.

  Another advantage of having a newsgroup rather than an archive site: who
  wants to go through a directory of 100+ MODs just to see if there are any
  new ones?  A newsgroup would allow me to download any new MODs that there
  were without sorting through a long list.

  This new group might even CONSERVE bandwidth...just think....all those
  people who ask "uuuh, where can I get MODs?" could just go there first.
  That'll reduce the traffic on this group by about half! 8^)
