I use ASPICE for analog circuit simulation/analysis.  It is on the fish disks
somewhere...

Other software I can think of off hand is commercial.  Maple will do symblolic
math.  There is X-Cad professional for schematics work.  (And maybe ProNet?
professional???  Been a while since I looked into this).  Can't vouch for
these though, because I don't use them.   Hope this helps....

Hi all,

        I have yet another question. When using IconEd which came on
Workbench 1.3 extras disk. There is one problem. My roommate and I can never
get the save and frame option to work. Does anyone have suggestions
other than RTFM(seeing as Commodore did not give me a Dos Manual or
anything....I have the Enhanced Software book and It constantly says refer
to your AmigaDos manual....this would be nice...except they did not give
me an AmigaDos manual when I purchased my computer.)?

              21 Jul 1992 20:50:00 CDT from <ST1DM@JETSON.UH.EDU>

There are several programs available that could help you.

For math calculations, take a look at Maple (reviewed in a recent AmigaWorld
mag).  For function plotting, you should take a look at MathPlot (it even
calculates integrals and does some symbolic derivatives).  These two progs
user AmigaDOS 2; the first one is commercial, the second one, shareware.

Say you want to plot data, the best program available (in my opinion) is
Multiplot XLNe (you can find it in the 500`s of the Fish series).  This
program filled a huge void in Amiga software, and its output is great.

For circuit analysis, you can get a copy of Spice 3.  It may not be pretty,
but it is the standard for analog circuit analysis.  This program can be found
in the Fish disks.

Finally, you can draw schematics and design boards using the Pro-Net and Pro-
Board series from Centaur.  A recent ad said that Pro-Board 3 could even do
auto placement and autorouting.  You can find them at your local Amiga store.
A friend of mine owns these and they look nice (haven`t tested them myself
though).

Hope this helps.

Well, it's 74KB of text, 1648 lines.  Shall I send it to you?

That's roughly the same size as the bootstrap/faq posting....

I've just had a few listings come back and they show May updates as the

it died??

Is anyone using any of the other archies getting similar dates?

Actually, Commodore has responded quite forcefully to that article. To
see how they are responding to it, check out AM-Report #2.07 just released.
It has a letter from CBM directed to Amiga owners who want to take action.
It's available for FTP from wuarchive and as a standalone article called "C="

The fastest I know is fastgif, but this shows them in grey.
You could also use gif_view, which is slower, but shows in colors, and
has a save option too. If you have enough memory (3 MB or more),
then use something like Art Dep., which gives you a lot more quality.

Date sent:  28-JUL-1992 22:39:13

HELP!!! URGENT!

I need urgent help. I need to write 2 C programs for my s/w project. One is a
text editor another is a data base program.
1.  The text editor is optional.
If I could incoporate the text editor it would be best. So I was thinking if I
could grab any sort of C codes on text editor and modify it to suit my needs. I
know that's not right... but I'm running short of time and my buddy is busy
with other sorts of details. So could someone guide me in writing a simple C
codes to do normal text editing with simple options such as cut and paste only?
Or someone is kind enough to mail me his/her codes?
2. Database structures.
I am not sure of how to write efficient codes to do personal data management.
The program should be able to create fields and edit them. It is
intended for users to have a simple data bank of friends' particulars such
as address and tel. etc. I wonder how should I arrange the structures for best
sorting and searching subsequently. The problem I face is that the data
structures are not fixed since the users are able to create his/her own fields.
Could some experience folks guide me?

Any advice will be greatly appreciated. If possible please send me replys on my
bitnet or internet address directly.

Subject:      Re: Robinson 1, Commodore 0

Yo,

  Amiga is of course not dead !
  I just read an article in a PC-magazine, in which they compared all
  the games-machines, and the new A600 was with it.
  They said it's an excellent machine, and not only for the games, but
  the parents can also do something with it.
  They only thought the price was a bit too high, and they said that if
  you want a games-machine, you want to use for some serious stuff, for
  not a lot of money, you should search for the C=64 !!!!!
  So if even the C=64 is alive (they think so), how can Amiga than be
  dead/dieing ?!?

  And always look on the bright side of life : some people think their
  Atari is a great machine !

  And about this article : or that person doesn't know what he's talking
    about (I suppose he doesn't)
                           or he has some inside information from C=, and
    he knows some things we don't (what I don't think)

  I only think C= should be doing some advertisments for their CDTV, now
  that Philips has introduced their CD-I.
  A friend on mine went last week to Disneyland, in France, and there saw
  the CD-I. If C= did something (more) about publicity, those maybe could have
  been all CDTVs !!! And there isn't a lot of quality in the CDTV games,
  from what I have read in some magazines. Maybe C= can use some of their
  own programmers, to make some software, to set an example.
  (Does anyone knows a wordprocessor for Amiga which can read/write WP5.1
  files ? This would be very useful to most of us)
  SO if they could make some business progs, which can read files from
  PC, there's (almost) no reason why anyone shouldn't buy an Amiga, even
  when it's for a company, and they have to be able to use WP/lotus/...
  compatible files.

well, if you docs for it in terms of pinouts for the connector, I'll
off $20 for it.....
 Don't mean to be a cheap-skate but I'm just a college student myself
and not a very well-to-do one at that, but if I don't have pinouts for
the power supply then it's no good to me....

  By the way, could you wait till like mid-next week to ship the geos
stuff.....and I really want the power supply if at all possible....

Subject:      PCQ example programs

I'm looking for a source of PCQ examples programs. (PCQ is a very good PD
Pascal compiler, ideal for those of us who can't get to grips with C ! ;-)
There are examples supplied with the compiler itself, but I'd like to see
more - specifically dealing with graphics/copper and parallel port I/O.

Thanks, Matt

    Get the book "C for advanced programmers" by Abacus. The whole
book teaches you how to write a text editor. Every program in the
book is eventually incorporated into a text editor at the end.

     Too late.  Computer Monthly has already dropped all secondary computers.
It carries only the MS-DOS line, or so it appears from the July issue.  Nice
idea, though.  I thought of it, too.
