I believe it is 72 Hz.  This has been mentioned a couple times -- so this
should be enough for your ST monochrome (which BTW can be done on an 
Atari _color_ monitor now too! ) as well as hi-res modes and other stuff.

What's wrong with 60 Hz?   All TVs in the U.S. use this (as do all STs
currently). Does this detract from the picture quality?   And the UK
seems to get along just fine on 50 Hz.

P.S. - I'm no expert on video modes and monitor display techniques,
but doesn't the TT also have to have 70 Hz to support the Atari
monochrome?  Or does it only have the VGA monitor connection?  Is
the refresh rate defined by the video mode and the power frequency
or can it vary depending on the computer alone?

It would have surprised me enormously if TC had beaten the other compilers,
considering that it compiled the code in a fraction of the time.
It's not simple at all to do the optimizations that GCC does with -O2!

TC is indeed better if you compile simple programs that can use the register
parameters and extra scratch register (d2) to full advantage, but it doesn't
seem to be able to even move loop invariants out of the loops.

Again, the source is available to anyone who would like to test their favorite
compiler. :-)
So far I've only received requests for the Lattice sources, but perhaps someone
with PureC would like to try it?
I'll try to merge the sources into one generic version.

By the way, Bill Rosenkranz has told me that MGIF is PD, so perhaps I should
upload my new version (one of them) to atari.archive.

Well, I would have to recommend Jukebox; I think it's on a.a.  I haven't 
tried Paula so I can;t compare, however there are a couple of .mods I have
that won't play correctly on anything but Jukebox.  It's not an editor,
just a background desktop accessory.  You can do some stuff while it
plays in the background, and if you run a program that takes too much
processor time it will stop playing rather than slow the tune down.

I've gone and ditched all the previous postings about this, so I'll try to pick
up the thread...

I got choas yesterday, and this msa thing, and farted about getting an
11 sector disk.  Fine.
I've got a 2 meg ste, so I loaded the chaos?.msa and newmas.prg onto a ramdisk.
On the first attempt msa wrote 31 or so tracks out of the first file and decided
it wasn't going to do any more.  I just ran it again and it worked though
(strange ...)  If you're having problems with it, just keep on trying and maybe
it'll decide to work.
I don't understand why this program was used to archive chaos, as far as I can
see the only thing in it's favour is that it formats the disks for you as it
unarchives...  but not if they've got eleven sector tracks :-(   I think it
would have been more sensible to use something like zoo which can unpack
things into the correct subdirectories and includes a decent compression
algorithm.  I would have rearchived chaos myself infact if I wasn't too busy last
night playing it :-)  Wicked game...

  Well, you must have seen an A500 running KickStart 1.2 then because my A4000
running KickStart 3.0 certainly look and feel ten times better than any Atari

I don't even know what UUCP is, and here I am asking how to get it.  I do
understand that UUCP is required for me to be able to transfer files bet-
ween my Atari ST and a friend's Unix system, though, so this is my first
step. 

Is there something which runs on a 1 MB ST (no MiNT, no Minix) that allows
me to establish a UUCP connection over 2400 baud modems with a Unix (actual-
ly Xenix) machine?  I figure if it's not known on this newsqroup, it probab-
ly doesn't exist.

I just discovered (over the weekend) that Philips is using "PIM" to
stand for "Philips Interactive Media", i.e., the new CD-I system.  As a
matter of fact, the Philips US subsidiary that will promote CD-I is
named PIMA (Philips Interactive Media of America). 

IMHO, Atari should find themselves an acronym other than PIM.  Possibly
the one noted above - or not. :-)

I've been using zmodem for years now, and I have done thousands of

Unix, it won't ever resume a transfer, no matter what command line I
use. I am running Uniterm 2.0e, and I have tried all of the zmodem

  Also, he has AT speed but can't get it to work through the RS232 port. Says
he tried playing around with different COM port selections, but there was never

	Um,  I am unfamiliar with the term you are using.  What do you mean by
"video-bound".  Are you referring to the fact that the video must steal cycles
from the CPU to refresh the screen, or is this something else.  If so, remember
that only STram is affected by the video hardware - the TT can just blaze away
in TTram (or FastRAM for those who read the documentation).  

	BTW, I thought that ASV was supposed to be a true SysVR4, not a berkley

Probably because it's running a 4.3BSD derived Unix, and not SysVR4. The

The InShape raytracer is available for the TT and Falcon with coprocessor,
and it seems that it produces excellent pictures (seen in a magazine).
