Could someone please either:
a) post the uuencoded form of this program here(if it is within
the usual uuencoded USENET size limitations)
OR
b) post the site(s) where I may FTP a copy of this software
Please post to this conference.

I tried: 
ftp.uni-kl.de and amiga.physik but with no luck (twin_11a.lha)
================================================================
TwinExpress1.1. There are IBM and Amige versions
of the software and it lets you look at directories, copy files, delete,
rename, etc through the serial port. between two Pc's it runs at 115200 baud
and adds compression to achieve 22kbytes per sec. between A3000s i run it at
290'000 baud plus compression, and i get 42'700 bytes per sec :-). that gives
roughly 2.5 Mbytes per minute. transfers are one way at a time, don't copy
files in both directions simultaneously. also the PC can access the Amiga
drives. it supports optional file translation. the serial cable is a 7wire
null modem, well documented. PC and Amiga versions are compatible, and are
in the same archive. PC is limited to 22kbytes per second.

Thanks in advance....

Close, but no cigar, (of course, I'm gonna look a right idiot if my
memory isn't too god!)
The offsets in LaTeX are additional to the default offsets.
So, in LaTeX, what I do is \topmargin  -1in and \oddsidemargin -1in and
\evensidemargin -1in, all in the preamble.
That will give you NO magins at all (probably NOT what you want but I'm
sure you can add what you do want to -1)

It's just occurred to me that the \hoffset=0in might work, as it would
use TeX and not LaTeX, but I still don't think it does (apologies to
Andrew if it does :-).

More accurately, from the Preface to the Lamport's LaTeX manual:

The LaTeX document preparation system is a special version of Donald
Knuth's TeX program.  TeX is a sophisticated program designed to produce
high-quality typesetting, especially for mathematical text.  LaTeX adds to
TeX a collection of commands that simplify typesetting by letting the user
concentrate on the structure of the text rather than on formatting
commands.

Then take a closer look at the Search command. It has a FILE option

Actually, ToolManager is 100% stable when using the latest version (?) and
if you configure it properly.  It never crashes!

However, I prefer to use AmiDock.  It doesn't put that UGLY window around
the brushes.  AmiDock is VERY nice.  Especial if you get the registered 
version (1.4).  It supports AppIcon stuff.   Plus, AmiDock only puts up
a dock.  ToolManager has lots of other functions that I never use (nor would
want to use) such as function key support, adding menus to the "tools" menu,
etc..

For just a good looking and a great dock, get  AmiDock.  For lot's of
functions not related to the dock, go for ToolManager.

I also own and use Final Copy. It doesn't handle structured drawings but I 
have been able to produce exceptable results by saving a full screen IFF 
file, importing it into Final Copy, then reduce it to the desired size 
using integer scaling. Final Copy does a good job at resizing the picture 
and produces fairly good graphics output using this method. However, 
structured drawing support would be much better.

Subject: Good, cheap text processors
Summary: Any recommendations?
Keywords: word processing, text processing
Organization: Telecom Research Labs, Melbourne, Australia
Date: Tue, 21 Jul 1992 22:28:23 GMT

I'm looking for a PD or cheap text processor for my fianc\'ee.  She
writes stories and would like a package or editor with the following
basic features:

1. Automatic word wrap / fill.  (The basic emacs fill isn't sufficient
though.  See below.) 
2. Multiple line spacing on screen and in print.
3. Basic printer support for proof-reading.
4. Underlining on screen.  Bold and italics are nice extras.
5. Mouse support for marking, blocking, cut, copy and paste.
6. Basic search and replace.
7. Multitasks properly and uses ARexx (what else for an Amiga?).
8. Some documentation on the output format so that I can automatically
translate files to [La]TeX.

At the moment, I use emacs 18.58 (Amiga port 1.24), but it doesn't
automatically fill / wrap a line if the cursor is not on the rightmost
column, or if characters in a paragraph are deleted.  I've mapped a
function key to perform a fill-paragraph operation, but my fianc\'ee
doesn't like using this option too often.  Also, emacs doesn't display
multiple spacing, and mouse and Amiga ANSI console support is minimal.
I scanned Joe Wells' comp.emacs FAQ, but couldn't find what I wanted.
Suggestions such as programs and even ELISP scripts are welcome.

Our system is an A3000 with KS2.04.  We currently use PasTeX 1.3 for
preparing the final output.

Please email any suggestions, and I'll post a summary if there is
enough interest.

Thanks,

   As a matter of fact I do.  If something is available in Europe but not in

Like I said, until this virtual memory product is released over here, it will
remain vaporware to me.

Well I can, because I'm about to release one in August! It's still in
betatest state but should be ready really soon now.

Here is a clip from F-Finder docs.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------

	o	3D-look with both KS1.x and KS2.0x operating systems.

	o	Almost everything can be done with just a click of the
		mouse.

	o	Finds files/directories from multiple devices/volumes
		in one search.

	o	Finds files/directories according to creation date and/or
		time.

	o	Finds files/directories according to state of archive
		flags.

	o	Scans recursively all directories or only base
		directory.

	o  	Can be case sensitive if wanted.

	o	Outputs to file or almost every writable device - such
		as PRT: or CON:. Also, output string format is
		modifiable by the user.

	o	 Settings can be saved to configuration file.

	o	 Main window can be zoomed (zipped) to small window so
		 that almost no screen space is reserved when F-Finder
		 is not in use. KS2.0x users have also ability to hide
		 to Workbench's AppMenu.

	o	And a lot more...

---------------------------------------------------------------

   Or, if there's a good way to do it with Amiga DOS, thus rendering an
   application unnecessary, then that would be great too.

If you really need it now and you have KS2.0, you should check Find
from one of the latest fish-disks!

   I'll believe it when I see it.  If the upgrade for DMCS is real, it had 
better not be a simple collection of bug fixes.  I've been waiting and waiting
and waiting and waiting for an upgrade for DMCS for five years, and I want
some actual improvements after all this time.  My biggest gripe about DMCS
is the inability to use any resolution mode other than 640x200, though 
other improvements I'd like to see include full SMUS importing and exporting
(instead of the partial SMUS support in the old version), much better MIDI
support, much better speed on unaccelerated Amigas (not hard to achieve, given
how slow the old version is), and an ARexx port.
