I recently read about a program called UPD here...  Where might one find said 
program?  Archie doesn't find it, nor does the latest KingFisher.  Is it 
commercial?

Thanx.

It's not because it hasn't been released yet that it isn't finished. After
programming the thing, there's always a long period of testing, to make
sure that it is reasonably bug-free. Besides, it is possible Commodore is
working on several releases at the same time: some features will be relased
in 3.0, others in 4.0. The version numbers aren't necessarily a guarantee
for the chronological order of development.

mCAD is $20 US shareware.  I have been using it for quite some time
and have found it to be stable.  Version 1.2.6 is the last version
and can be found on MRCSERV.  I use it in combination with the PLT:
device driver to convert the hpgl output it can generate to what the
DeskJet 500 can understand. Output quality is excellent this way. It
can drive 9-pin epson type printers directly also.

There is another shareware cad called Plans.  Version 2.0 is the
latest release.  It comes with minimal documentation, and the
shareware fee is $150 US.

Hope this helps.

I found a file (from CATS itself!) on anim formats on MRCserv.  It doesn't
specifically mention the "OPT n" terminology, but describes 5 formats of
the ANIM file.  Here's MRC's dir entry:

  6-MAY-1988 00:00      51 [AMIGA.ANIMATIONS]ANIM.SPEC;1

("51" means the file is 25.5K long)

Just send a message to MRCserv@Janus.MtRoyal.AB.CA, no subject line,
and in the body, say

get [AMIGA.ANIMATIONS]ANIM.SPEC

and you'll get an ASCII file the next day.

Subject:      BBS Packages

  Well,  I looked at CNet last night.. I don't like it.  Here is what
i'm looking for in a BBS package..

  1: Decent message editor,  not one of these "Press Return on a blank
     line for menu" editors..

  2: Ease of use/Sysop setup.  I want the system to set up easily, without
     6 hours of moving files and changing directories and making assigns.

  3: User numbers.  This may sound trivial,  but I'd like user account
     numbers as well as names.  Just one of those dumb requirements.

  4: FidoNet support.  It would really really help if the software was
     FidoNet style compatible.  Preferably coming with a tosser/front door
     or whatever it needs.

        I don't care if it's PD/Shareware or commercial.  If ANYONE has any
information then I'd GREATLY appreciate it.  Preferably the name of the
software,  a BBS number that I can call to check it out and if commercial,
an approximate price.

John,
  Good Point!  Many schools here still teach COBOL as well.  I guess I've
been out of school too long and have forgotton how inconvienient it was to
have to travel to the school lab to work on software.  Given the number of
students out there who might be taking COBOL, there should actually be
a demand for it.

Good luck in your attempt!  Writing a COBOL interpreter for a windowed
operating system seems to me a duanting task at best.  My guess is that you
won't find too much demand for it on the Amiga -- COBOL tends to be a
favorite language for the buisness community, and we all know how successful
the Amiga has been in that area!

If you opt to stick with it, I have a friend who programs COBOL for a living,
and I might be able to convince her to cough up some non-proprietary code,
if she has any.  Drop me a line if you decide to.  Though I would warn you -
GOTO statements, from what I have heard, are very prevalent in the COBOL
world.

Subject:      Quarterback 5.0

I was leafing through my new Amigaworld and checked out the review of
Quarterback they have, in the table of feature comparisons, they
indicated that Quarterback is capable of an "image" backup, which would
be a track by track copy of a partition, which is useful for backing up
an AMAX partition for example.  Anyone have any idea how you get
Quarterback to do this, I can't find a way to tell it to do it by
playing with the program or looking in the manual.  Maybe it
automatically goes into image backup mode if it can't recognize the file
system?  I backed up my CrossDOS MSDOS hard disk partition with
Quarterback to tape as if it was an ADOS partition, I'm thinking that if
I get AMAX I'd like to be able to back that up and that maybe the backup
of my MSDOS partition would be quicker in image mode rather than file
mode.

It's syndicated (so check your local listings).  Here in the NYC area it
is being shown on WOR TV.  There was a spot on CNN recently in which
they discussed ST:TNG, ST:DS9, Babylon V, and the NBC sci-fi show Space
Rangers (or something like that).  Apparently 1993 is the year that the
TV studios try science fiction.  Guess they've realized that sitcoms,
mindless sex and violence, and tabloid TV can't carry them too much
further.  Just hope they don't put the mindless stuff into the sci-fi
shows!

Thank you for the tip, but in fact I *did* try the degrader (I have it)
and, once again, it simply didn't work the same way as the Pal Booter.
I can only run pal programs from Workbench, but, very strangely,
Pinball Dreams seems to have an Auto-Pal startup-sequence, that works
fine, but I don't know how is it made, as the disk files are not AmigaDOS
accessible... Any clue about that?

P.S. Well, it may just be unusefull for me, as I'm about to purchase an
A4000, but it may help someone else...

In the latest Amigaworld (which I just got in the mail yesterday) there
is an ad by Software Hut for the Commodore A3070 150 MB tape drive
(originally sold by Commodore for use with A3000 UNIX systems) for an
unbelievable price of $349.  Sounds too good to be true but just thought
I would relay the info to those on the list that might be interested in
a SCSI tape drive.  It says the original list price was $1095.  I have
no idea how good Software Hut is but that price is pretty good and they
are supposedly brand new.  If I did not have a tape drive already I'd
probably buy one of these.

I'm not sure of the 'multimedia card', but if you get a SCSI controller
for your IBM then you can use it no prob..If you have the correct
drivers and your backup software supports that type of tape backup.  Of
course you won't be able to save amiga stuff and IBM stuff on the same
tape..

Greetings,

Deep Space 9 aired in my area (Minneapolis/StPaul)last night,
and I was wondering.....Was the Amiga and/or toaster used in any part of
the production? I've read things that implied the Toaster was used....but
nothing certain.

Try
    zoo x// amiga-file-list.zoo
This is sposed to create directories as it unpacks.

The correct name is  gcc2.2.2 (or gcc2.3.3). You can find it at
wuarchive.wustl.edu (or other aminet sities) - directory dev/gcc.
I also have a question : Is it possible (and easy!) to use this program
with 1MB of ram and 2 disk drivers (no HD).
