It's a trick.  Use "" for the current directory.  Unfortunately, it's never
been clearly spelled out in the manuals.

  You are so true. Marc Barrett doen't complain to show what's wrong. He
complains to complain. He just picks something and starts complaining about
it. Of course there's going to be somthing bad about *any* machine introduced.
Marc doesn't weigh the goods and the bads and see that that the machine really
is something great. No, he'll just pick *anything* and start complaining about

Well, IBM lost 5 billion dollars, I guess

OS/2 is dead.

PS/2 machines are history.

All Research and Development comes to a halt.

Every syndicated high tech columnist in the country will announce 
the death of everything connected with IBM.

Of course none of this will ever happen.

If Commodore even lost 10 dollars, the death vendors come out of the 
wood work.  Oh well, at least I don't own a PS/2.

Heck, a lot of PC users can afford to _not_ be familiar with PCs (even their
own PCs).  Why can't Amiga owners??

Try asking them what's the difference between a Cyrix 486DLC and an 
Intel 486DX; 486SLC clone and IBM 486SLC; VESA, ISA, EISA and MCA; floptical

I have to agree with Jerry on this one.  I've written several hundreds
of thousands of lines of code in the last few months  without using a 
single goto statement.  In fact, I really cannot think of an instance 
where a goto is the only option available to the programmer.  Note that
I'm not trying to say such situations do not exist, I just don't believe
them to be common.

I suspect that my tendancy to avoid the use of goto's stems mainly from
my undergraduate programming courses in which their use was strongly
discouraged.  So much so that the use of a goto often resulted in a zero
for the assignment.  I teach BASIC as an introductory programming language
and my students are subject to this same rule.  While this does nothing to
guarantee great code, it goes along way towards preventing the horrible
spaghetti code which I and many others wrote in the old 8-bit days.

A couple of summers ago I was employed to convert several FORTRAN programs
into C.  The code was very typical of many FORTRAN programs and included
goto's all over the place.  While not exactly fun, I did manage to convert
the code into decent C code without resorting to a single goto.  I realize
that this amount of work may not be to everyone's liking, but I would have
been embarrassed by anything less.

And what is perhaps even more important: Commodore itself is partly also
in that other "camp" of clones, so many people here (e.g. in engineering)
have deep experience with that stuff and can judge it. Plus they can profit
from it and port good ideas from there into the Amiga camp.

>>>What is a B2000, anyway?

Nah, the other way round: The very first A2000, I call it A2000A, was
designed in Braunschweig, Germany. It had the old A1000 chips and the
same video, so there was a crippled video slot compared to later models
and no monochrome composite output. The A2000B was designed in USA and
brought some new chips, the full video slot, more RAM on board, and
that composite output. I don't know whether the A2000A was ever sold in
USA, or whether they waited until they could get the B version.

I don't believe fission is the ultimate answer to our energy problems, but your
statement above is ludicrous (IMHO).  Do you know anything about MODERN reactor
design (not Chernobyl) or do you just believe everything you hear in the media?

BTW, I agree that harnessing energy from the sun is the ultimate goal for an
energy source, but for now nuclear power is one of the most environmentally
safe major sources of energy available today.

version, and a 105 Meg version)
