The A1200 is out in the UK, 399 pounds (about $650?). It needs more
FAST-RAM, though. The basic config isn't (as always) really useful.

I  just received the following article (in a German newsgroup) and tried to
view it using richtext from the metamail distribution.

Unfortunately  metamail  doesn't  show  the greek characters (<iso-8858-3>)
properly.   In  fact, the "iso-8859-3"-token doesn't occure anywhere in the
sources  :-(.   So:  Is this not a valid richtext token or is this a bug in
richtext?   Where  can I get a complete description for richtext?  And:  do
control  sequences  exist  to  switch  fonts  for the console device on the
Amiga?

BTW: richtext seems not to be the same that the NeXT uses in .RTF files?

Gruss, Christian

  QuickTime is not slow at all. It DOES depend on how you render it. If I
rendered it full screen with the new version (which comes with 7.1) it
would work quite well. Right now, taking a QT movie with a logo rotating
mapped with a reflective chrome, it runs pretty well at larger sizes. 

  What I want to see is full speed full-time.

Or the new Centris. Another Possibility.

Yes, several new Apples announced today.

Interesting.  Amazing Confusion magazine said AVPro was the "reader's
choice" and listed a stand alone player as one of its features.  What a
crock from AC.  As if enough people even own AVPro yet to have told them
that.  Of the current authoring software, CanDo is probably the best and has
always had standalone and library-run capabilities.  Perhaps AVPro will have
more advantages over CanDo in the future, but I smell something fishy about
Amazing's results in this case.  They sound fudged to me (AC has so many
things screwed up in their magazine anyways, I wouldn't doubt it).

Hello all,

I do own a CDTV and I did ask CBM for information. They were very

Yes there are a couple dozen titles of CD+G disks available. Most of
them come from Warner New Media in  Burbank, CA. If your record store
doesn't carry any, or are too stupid to know whether or not they do
(CD+G disks are normally co-mingled in with regular music CDs and few
record store employees I've had contact with would know what CD+G wa
s if it bit 'em on the ass) then cal WNM at 818-955-9999 and ask
them to mail you a CD+G cataog. 

You can use CDTV "like an Amiga" because it is an Amiga. Before
you set it up and turned it on, did you look on its back panel? 
Some of the connectors are not identical to what you'd find on a "real"
Amiga computer but many of them are. You can buy a CDTV "professional
pack" or whatever they call it which contains a floppy disk drive,
mouse, and keyboard, al black. Or if you have an extra Amiga floppy drive
you can hook it up to CDTV right now, the connector is the same. 
You can hook up an existing A2000/3000 style keyboard with a little connector
cable/adaptor.. see your dealer for one. 

CDTV has a modified "custom" WorkBench 1.3 ROM set in it. But it's
easy enough to boot a standard 1.3 WorkBench on a connected floppy drive and
run regular Amiga software on a CDTV.. although ya gotta watch out for 
non-compatible stuff (mostly some games) and also remember that you only 
1 meg 
of CHIP RAM in that puppy.

There's a lot more to CDTV.. I could write pages on it. In fact, I already hav
have :-).  I used to review CDTV software for Info magazine. They (.info)
went out of business after their April '92 (#49) issue but maybe you
have the last year's worth of issues laying around or maybe a friend does,
or if you don't perhaps there's a public library or a user group
nearby who does.

If you own an Amiga computer (any model) you can "network" your CDTV
to it with some free software on Fish Disk #400 called "parnet"...but
you hve to either make or buy the appropriate parallel port cable to
connect the two machines. 

Any other questions, just holler. There isn't nearly enough good
CDTV discussion on the net, far as I'm concerned.

I know this has been asked before but I have never seen an answer.

Is the PD AmigaVision Flow player available yet?  and if so where?


The reason I am asking is that I used my A3000 with AmigaVision to create 
an educational flow which teaches kids their colors and the words for the 
colors. I showed the Flow to my son's kindergarten teacher and she loved 
it because it fit right in with here class curriculum (guess where I got 
the idea for the flow). Anyway, if a PD flow player is available I am 
considering buying the class an A600 and working with the teacher (at her 
request) to write more flows which emphasize her curriculum. In addition I 
would like to give a copy of the flow to my nephew to use on his A500 
and allow my son to be able to easily use it on his A1000. 


                  Thanks in advance for any info!

I don't like Amiga User International's (lack of) graphics artist. To
print articles with orange text on blue/violet paper is horrendous!
But there are British mags that differ from that, too. Like Amiga Shopper -

I have a PrinterFace board that I don't need anymore, so I've decided to sell 
it.  It allows you to add a second parallel port to the Amiga so that it's
possible to have digitizer and a printer hooked up at the same time.  It 
allows full multi-tasking through both ports at the same time.

The board fits under a your 68000 chip, and works in all A500, A2000, and 
A2500 machines.
