Tools that measure the free CPU-Time usually create stuff like  that.  They
set up a task with a very low priority and count  how  many  (micro)seconds
this task gets from the system. So they can calculate  the  free  CPU-time.
(Tools like that are SystemSpy and XOper!)

Usually these task do not cause any problems, but there're definitly better
ways to determine the  CPU-usage  that  this  method.  Perhaps  you  should
consider taking that tool from you user-startup-sequence.

        bye, Peter

I'm presently running 2.04 on an A500, with 4 megs of ram.

I'm thinking about hinting to my wife to get me 2.1 for my birthday.

What I would like to know is....

Are there enough significant differences/additions from 2.04 to 2.1
to make it worth the change?

He is definitely able to receive private mail, because he answered a mail
of mine some time ago. I suspect he doesn't reply mails which have topics
related to Commodores policy, support, etc. because after the first mail,
I sent him another with a question regarding the Janus 2.0 -> 2.1 upgrade
and some other stuff, and I never got any reply from him, although none
of his EMail addresses bounced. Maybe he is afraid that C= hits him hard
when he says something which he isn't supposed to.

Is there such a thing?? Never heard of it. I have been looking for this
fabled Janus 2.1 upgrade for ages, but it isn't available, obviously, in
spite of Commodores confirmation that you can get it.

It is quite simple. You just have to split the files using the

Thats all :-)

In addition, of course you need the mountlist entry and the 'say' command,
well, you don't NEED 'say', but anyways.  I have done this with my A4000 and
it works fine, so it should work on with A1200's with 2.1 also.

According to the "What is UseNet?" FAQ, the definition of UseNet is "the
set of all machines connected to each other for the purpose of distrib-
uting NetNews."  As such, a UseNet address would be the address that
references another machine on UseNet.

I think you're confusing UseNet with NetNews.

My path commands work fine.  I put all the path stuff in s:User-Startup
and have not touched s:System-Startup.  I think that somewhere after
you do your "path add" that the path is being reset.  Search your
s:#?-Startup for all path commands.  This will check your s:Shell-startup,
too.

   I've been hoping for a Commodore "turn around" for about five years now, and
I've finally come to the conclusion that they are just totally hopeless when it
comes to America. I held stock up until 1991, and I dumped it. It's gone down
ever since then.  
   Unfortunately, at this point, I don't see AGA making any difference in
America. It's just too late - there's hardware and no software. The machine
that's priced to sell is the A1200, and there's no doubt that the bulk of low-
end Amigas are sold to gamers; the sad part is that there are really no
American game developers left that bother with the Amiga.
   The local Software Etc. is now down to two shelves of Amiga software -
maybe a maximum of 20 titles. That's downright pathetic. Even the A600 that 
was on display for a couple weeks is no longer around. It's do or die time
for Commodore. No more futzing around, no more trying to turn a profit on
margins... it's time to sell some friggin machines so developers will start
writing software for the machine.

If you want it do officially via system-provided utilities, then sorry,
this feature only came with the 3.0 WBPattern prefs editor. When you
want to use PD utilities, there should exist some.

Organization: FAA Technical Center, Pomona, NJ
NNTP-Posting-Host: faatcrl.faa.gov

After my recent conversion from OS1.3 to OS2.1, I've been having
periodic harddrive problems.  First when recovering some files from
tape using AmiBack2.0, the system locked up.  When I rebooted, there
was a checksum error on a block on the HD.  Therefore the Amiga would
not validate the disk.  I used DiskX to correct the checksum, but then
I ended up with an invalid block that I couldn't get rid of since
OS2.1 won't let you delete anything from a disk that shows 0K free,
or that isn't validated.  (My Amiga shows 0K free when these errors
occur, even though there was over 70Meg free!).
  I reformatted and recovered my data from tape after this first time
this happened.  The second time it happened, I was copying my bridgeboard
directory to DH1: using DirectoryOpus, when the system hung up.  Again,
my only means of recovering was formating.
  Last night, while using A64 to read a file from a C64 drive to my Amiga
it hung up leaving me high and dry (and my disk unValidated).  Does anyone have an idea where I can a utility to recover from this Unvalidated status?
Any suggestions for avoiding/fixing this problem would be appreciated.
   Oh, my configuration is a A2000, GVP 22MHz 030 combo, with a 200Meg drive
partitioned into two 100Meg partitions, a SCSI tape drive, 8088 Bridgeboard.

The first thing CBM has to do is to talk to their distributors to handle the Amiga as a real computer! When I ask the so called "distributors" in my hometown Wuerzburg/Germany for a computer they all would tell you to buy an IBM or compatible. The Amiga is - by the opinion of many people - a computer for playing games, for children. Noone sees the very nice Operating System (OS >= 2.0) or the nice software that does exist on the Amiga.

STOP PCs!! AMIGA FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Summary: How can I xfer large files via disk

There are several large files (ie. 1+ MEG) that I would like to FTP.

The problem is that I am using AIX, and I can transfer files by FTPing them 
into my file store at Uni, and then copy them onto 720k PC format disks. Then 
reading them using my A1200 onto my Hard Drive.

Who can I copy/break up these files accross if they are 720k+ ?
