Please step back and look at the CURRENT situation.  IBM is announcing 
due dates and missing them by years.  Microsoft is not doing much better.

Atari did NOT publicize TOS 2.06 until it was ready.  They have resisted
issuing a due date for the Falcon, or even releasing specs, until they
have firm facts.  They have followed this policy for the last few years.

I respect them for making a stand.

I extracted to the root of my E: drive by using the following
commandline for LZH201D.TTP:
 
    x -rm cla1_v1.lzh e:\  
 
and didn't experience any problems.  I then copied all CLA-related
files to a folder called E:\CLA, and the program still ran properly. 
Watch your memory usage, though.  I have a 1MB machine, and CLA won't
run unless I clear out all accessories, etc. 
Hope this helps.

The Maze Editor comes with the registered version of MidiMaze II. Only the
registered version is capable of loading user defined mazes (i.e., the
shareware version is only capable of loading the mazes that come with the
game).

On a related subject:

I heard that Sigma Soft (producers of MidiMaze II and TurboAss) quitted
supporting Atari. Can anyone confirm that?

There is a Norwegian who has translated Sagrotan version 4.14 into english. His
name is Stein Arne Jensen. This english version also include a brief
documentation in english. He is running a PD library and has lots of other nice
software as well. The adress is:

STUG Norway PDL
c/o Stein Arne Jensen
N-3630 Roedberg
Norway
Phone: +47 3 741473

Send him a diskette and an envelope with your own adress on (return adress) and
he will send you the goodies. He also has ver. 4.17 (in german) and the
differences are minor (the difference is explained in the docs).

BTW: Sagrotan is now a commercial program in its newest version (5.# ??).

I read the bit about the Falcon in ST Format too. (Note: I didn't buy the
purile rag I just read it in the shop). They asked various developers what
they thought about the machine and I just have to take my hat off to Mark
Pearson of Protar who basically said that if Atari market this as a games
machines then it's dead. I couldn't agree more. It is an amazing machine and
I will be sad to see it get flushed down the toilet by Atari's usual marketing
strategies.

Over here in NZ, you are very lucky to find ANY Atari support at all,
much less access to the latest stuff! (About 4 copies of Populous II
got into the country!  pitiful!)

Too many companies are dropping atari support, because they are
releasing rubbish-rehash games that everyone already has in another
form.  Games such as the sim- series (Sim Ant, etc.) are original(ish)
concepts, and as such, should sell reasonably well on the ST.
Lemmings was basically the first game of it's type, and it was
snatched up by the public in the UK by the barrelfull apparently!!

Get some addresses, and tell the companies to release some decent
software for the ST, and they might just make some money out of it!

Nope, this is an add for high resolution.  Looks like I'll have to

The original poster specifically mentioned the SST and that's why I
commented on it.
 
The TinyTurbo and Turbo030 accelerator boards are totally different
in theory to the SST.  The SST lets you add the accelerator, RAM, and
other accoutrements as you see fit.  The accelerators from Fast Tech
are designed differently for different tastes and a different market.
 
From what I understand, the TinyTurbo does NOT have the extra
32-bit(?) RAM that the SST and Turbo030 have.  The TinyTurbo seems to
be a T-16 or T-25 on steriods, sporting a 68030 with cache.  (Of
course, if I'm incorrect in these claims, I'd surely hope someone
would correct me.)
 
In the second line, you say the TinyTurbo030 has loads of options.
Care to inform us what only a couple of these "options" are?
 
The MegaSTE with a TinyTurbo030 would zip along quite nicely, but
it's nowhere near a TT.  The TT has much more to it than a 68030, and
that's why I'm buying one and selling my MegaSTE.  There's RAM
expansion capability in a TT which the MegaSTE doesn't have, extra
resolutions for animations which will hold me over until Leonardo
comes out, and a SCSI port.

I thought about this.  If we really do not care to move to another
platform and would like to stick around the Atari world, we might want
to try this...

Find out the BEST music/desktop publishing software for the Macintosh.

Find out the BEST video/graphics software and hardware for the Amiga.

Find out the BEST entertainment software for the IBM compat. & Amiga.

We then make a list of all the software that we would like to
see on the ST and/or Falcon.

Then we hit these companies with letters one by one.

This way, we can upgrade to a Falcon (goodness know I'm ready) WITHOUT
having to buy all new software.  I have a lot of great software
for my ST that (according to the rumors) should work with the rumored
Falcon 030 computer.

But yes, you are right.  We should get a list of software/hardware
companies and what each of them produce.

Contact AA at 70007.3615@compuserve.com or call (503) 476-3578 for

Fast Tech ('030 accelerator designers) recently offered an *incredible*

Hi GCC Users,

I have some problems installing gcc.

	gplibt02.zoo
	includ80.zoo
	libolb.zoo
	libolb16.zoo

The installation of the libraries by replacing the old by the newest one.
Compiling the next little program:

	#include <iostreams.h>

	class testclass {
	public:
		testclass(){ cout << "testclass::testclass\n";}
		~testclass(){ cout << "testclass::~testclass\n";}
	};

	testclass t1;

	int main(int ac; char *av[]){

		testclass t2;

		cout << "main up\n";

		return 0;
	}

I've got the linker error:
Undefined in malloc.o  U __split_mem  referenced from text
Undefined in sbreak.o  U __split_mem  referenced from text

What's this _split_mem ??

I added to the test program the line:

long _split_mem = 0L;

and all works!!!


Then I added an object file containing the one added line to gnu.olb by
	ar vq gnu.olb split_mem.o

Try to link the older test program with the new gnu.olb, the linker 
wasn't able to find the __split_mem label in split_mem.o of the gnu.olb.
Why? What did I wrong?

calling : cc -v -O test.cc split_mem.o -o test.prg -lg++

all fine again!!!

Can anybody help me on this ?

So split_mem is a variable set by the startup code saying that the malloc
function has to regard the splitted memory modell like the TT.
But why did my hack ( appending an object file split_mem.o including 
	"long _split_mem = 0L;"
to gnu.olb with <ar vq gnu.olb split_mem.o> ) NOT work???

Where is the fault?????
