Nope! Don't do this! You'd have to to a move d0,sr on mc68000 and a
move d0,ccr on mc68010+ ! (move d0,sr is priviledged on 68010+)

This can be done more easily by doing a tst.l d0 at the end of myroutine..
No need to mess with the sr or ccr..

BTW: As system routines don't set the flags and you need a tst.l d0 afterwards
anyway, personally, I design my routines the same way to keep my programs
consistent.

Just wondering if anybody out there knows how to get the "HardWired" demo
to work on an A3000.  I've tried 1.3KS, 2.04KS, Degrader, etc.. but I just
can't get it to work.  It pops up a message saying:

   "This demo don't like axel" 

which I think the axel refers to exellerated machines.  I've heard that this
particular demo is the BEST demo ever created on any home computer platform
and I just wanted to look at it.  Guess I'll never get the chance, though.

I wonder what these guys could do for a 68030 25MHz only machine.  Now that's
a demo that would totally scream.  Any on takers?

One thing that could be messing this up is that when the interrupt is triggered
the SR is saved on the stack, and when you do a 'rte' it pops it off as well
as the PC (unlike rts which only pops off PC) and then returns to the 
previous execution.

I just DLed the "Global Trash" demo off of wuarchive.  It was the one that says
it works next to it.  Anyways, while de-smashing it with dms 1.11, I got and
I/O error.  The demo works GREAT until it says "This is the last segment of
the vector part" and it shows a TSL logo or something, then my machine hangs.

I have an Amiga3000.  I really liked this demo (especialy the plasma effect).
Is there any site I can pull this demo off of that doesn't have the I/O error?

Also, is there any other demos that have plasma effects?

      This is an excellant book. Liz is a great author, although some of
      her books, especially with Howard Saporatas, can get very
      psycho-analytic.

      Another excellant book on Saturn, although it may be out of
      print in some areas is Mickael Lutins "Saturn Signs". This book is
      very straightforward and easy-to-read. He also combines Sun signs
      with Saturn signs. Mike Lutin drops in occasionally on the
      Astrology Relaynet.

      There is an intimate relationship between the Sun and
      Saturn. The Sun represents our vitality and creative energy.
      However, without Saturn, the Sun energy remains just potential.
      Saturn disciplines and focuses the Sun to make the potential a
      reality.

One of the most interesting things about Saturn is the way modern astrologers
like to make out its not so bad after all.  Perhaps this is a reflection
of clients' tendency to freak out if they hear anything bad.  The point people
in the cosseted Western world forget is that it is the unpleasant things in
life by which we learn.  Saturn is destructive to those who choose to avoid his
lessons - but if you pay him his dues then you do gain

>structure and integrity and get rid of the superfluous

The essential nature of Saturn is *restriction*, and commonly this is
restriction of choices (whereas Jupiter commonly acts by *expanding* your
choices - hence it can sometimes be associated with divorce by progression
or transit).  So you are forced to do something, which you can either accept,
cope with, and probably find it wasn't as bad as you really thought anyway,
or else you can take the cowardly way out, and act in desperation to avoid
learning a lesson you had to learn - so next time Saturn has his way, he uses
twice the force he used the first time.  This restriction of choices aspect of
Saturn is what makes Saturn contacts in synastry so compelling - Saturn just
won't let the people get apart as they have something to teach one another.

The trouble is people just don't like doing things they don't like doing! -
especially these days when we have so much material comfort.  And a lot of
modern astrolgy books seem to be written as if the author was talking to
a client rather than a fellow astrologer.  I recommend a look at more
traditional astrology or horary to give a less euphemistic account of Saturn.

I read anything and everything by Liz Greene. Speaking of which, she and Howard 
Sasportas have another book out in their seminar series. It's called The Luminaries
and discusses with great originality the Sun and Moon in the chart. It's great.

Anyway, I thought her book on Saturn cleared up a lot of misconceptions about
the old pain-in-the-ass. I recently had some horrific Sat aspects by transit, and
I read it again to help me make some sense out of it. I found her discussion of
Sat aspects really fascinating - the idea that Sat points out where our fears
are and what they are, and how that fear keeps us inflexible, paranoid, unable
to function as the people we really are. 

I found with one of my Sat transits that the lesson was not to undervalue myself
and my abilities. I needed to realize how capable and how talented I actually was.
That was not my original concept of a Saturn transit - not my conception of
facing reality. Pretty amusing.

However, I do need a little couch time. I've got transiting Sat conj my descendant
at the moment (18 deg Aquar). I also have transiting Pluto trining my Sun (I'm a
Scorpio rising, also), and I'm in a terrible funk. I can post the rest of my chart,
if necessary. But, can some kind astrologer out there point me in the right
direction? (I forgot: my Sun is in the 9th, 24deg 23min Cancer.) I want a new job,
I want a new life, and if I don't get them soon (like yesterday), I may really
have another huge depression. Does anyone have any good advice?

Subject: Mystic Rectangles
Date: 14 Aug 92 15:55:03 GMT
Organization: BT Laboratories

Thanks to those who emailed me following my last article. I thought it might
be useful to post at least a paragraph on the subject as, like me, some people
don't seem to have come across much information.

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

MYSTIC RECTANGLES

The mystic rectangle, like the grand cross, is a potentially tensional closed
aspect pattern. It contains a pair of oppositions which are connected via a
pair of trines and sextiles.

Bil Tierney, in "Dynamics of Aspect Analysis", describes the pattern as
representing

	"practical mysticism - since it involves two potentially awareness
	revealing, illuminating oppositions that can creatively reach ideal or
	inspired fruition (trine influence) through intelligent, innovative
	utilisation of energies (sextile influence)"

This depends on the way that the individual handles the oppositions.

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

As far as *I* am aware, the pattern contains oppositions which act as a tug of
war creating tension and conflict with the individual. The trines can be
totally laid back affairs which require some stimulus if they are to come into
being, this stimulus being derived from the oppositions. The whole context is
then coloured by the sextiles.

->Saturn does not represent destructive forces, it represnts (amongst
->other things) your character, self-discipline, 

Well, the way I look at it, Saturn is the destructive vibration that
forces you to strengthen your character, apply self-disipline, etc.,
in order to survive the onslaught. So the good things you attribute
to Saturn I attribute to ones *reaction* to Saturn (assuming one
resists the Saturnian influence rather than submit and be ruined).

The misunderstanding about Jupiter is more a misunderstanding about
wealth (since I don't use the term to refer to monetary wealth but
to that which one has in abundance, the area in ones life where one
is fortunate. Kinda unfair of me since I'm using "wealth" in a
non-standard way with the Jupiter influence built into the definition.)

Well, I kept thinking that things would get better when Pluto
went out of my 12th house and was safely buried in the first.
Little did I know. The 1980s were incredibly difficult (on average
2 or 3 people I was close to died each year). What's the current
thinking on Pluto? My main source is the Cayce library series
where he gave comments on Pluto's influence in his readings.

I agree, Liz Greene's books are great!
I believe you meant to state that you've got transiting Sat *square* your
descendant rather than conj.  I think your current dissatisfaction may be
more indicated by the approaching double opposition of both Uranus and
Neptune to your Sun.  They are currently at about 17 deg Cap.  I can't
offer details at this time about what all that means.  Perhaps someone
else reading a.a could offer his/her opinion.
Good luck!
