   Overscan is still there, as is everything that were in the original and
ECS chipsits (except the limitations, that is). <Grin> The AGA chipset
(formerly called "AA"), is fully backwards compatable with the original and
ECS chipset.
   Complete press releases can be found in comp.sys.amiga.advocacy and on

 So who gives a rats royal red patootie?  Either you have a local dealer or
you don't.  If so, support them if they are worth anything.  If not, buy
mail order.  No problem in either case and definitely not worth the
bandwidth expended on this nonsense so far.

	Sure. It costs about $90, the same as a new power supply, and plugs 
into the parallel port. It comes with a built in music tracker, sampler, and
can store something like 32 sounds in memory. I did not like that fact that
it could not handle sounds over 132k in tracker modules, although it can
play very large samples. My largest straight sample was 1.7 megs.

	I use it for digitizing and for editing samples. Otherwise I still
use MED for music editing. It is not fully compatible with MED when it
comes to digitizing; at least I haven' gotten it to work. Maybe my power
supply doesn't put out enough watts to cover the added peripheral.

Since the Amiga is very dependant on its custom chips and the custom chips'
timing can be synced to an external video source and the pin to provide
that external clock signal is on the 23 pin video connector and since the
original poster said he "jiggled" the monitor cable when this all happened,
I would guess, in this particular case, that he freaked out the chips!

According to the letter, it will be released via a Fish disk, and
will include (I believe) the source.

I for one was greatly saddened to hear about Rick's passing. I think
that U-Edit didn't get nearly the recognition it deserved. Ironically,
this was probably becaused of Rick's decision to keep costs down by
handling distribution himself.


will include (I believe) the source.

But pay attention! There are several programs out there all named "touch",
which do NOT EXACTLY do what the Unix-touch does.
Unix-touch makes an open- and a close- systemcall. This updates the time
stamp of the file, but it also _creates_ an empty file if it didn't exists!
Some Amiga-incarnations of touch only 'setdate'. but the second feature
is important - at least for me. You can easily install files like
DOCS_on_the_2nd_Disk or !!READ_DOCS!! or something like this.
Touch from DICE is a "real" touch, but I don't know about the other touches
mentioned above.
But if you don't mind not having the second behaviour, then of course all
progs do well for you, including 'setdate' from ARP, I think.
 
See you,
hcg

I may be using 2.1 . I'll have to check. Or maybe the last time I restored my
HD I put on 2.0 and I need to check my disk box for 2.1. Either way when I got
my notice for 3.0 I was very PO'd because I had just upgaded to 2.0 and then
they slapped me with another $100 (that was the cost on my notice), for an
upgrade that fixed bugs (which should have been free) and a meager amount of
enhancement. So for now I intend on trying to deal with 2.x. Perhaps if I
contact them they will give me a non-buggy version. Sure and monkeys fly out of
my butt, when there is a version 3.0 that will cost me money.

I'm FTP'ing from SUN-Unix and then transferring to Amiga via DOS-disks.
That part works just dandy, but I've got a little lharc-problem. The
lharc I'm using came from wuarchive in the /archive-directory and works
on Unix, so I'm lharc'ing the files before transferring to DOS-disks.
That's also okay, I prefer it that way to lharc'ing on the Amiga.
BUT that lharc doesn't work on all files I find - only about 1/3 of
them. The rest I get the message: "Sorry, cannot extract that method."
So now I've got following questions :

-  Where can I find another lharc that'll take all the files ?
-  What's the difference between .lha and .lhz files ?
-  Are the any other widely used archivers that I should have
      before entering the world of FTP and PD ?
-  Which archiver is used on the Fish-disks ?

Secondly I've got a few questions about the whereabouts of some programs
and other things I'm interested in :

-  Are there any sites you can recommend as having many interesting
   things in it ? (I'd appreciate answers to this and the other ques-
   tions giving the site number as well as the name, thanks. As in:
   wuarchive.wustl.edu - 128.252.135.4 - /systems/amiga dir. )

-  What's the number of the most recent Fish-disk ?
-  Which site has got the most recent Fish-Disks ?

-  Could Anyone recommend me a good PD wordprocessor ?
-  And tell me a site to find it ?

-  I'm doing a bit of Desk Top Publishing using Professional Page
      (so far just version 1.2) and I'd like some Clip-Art collections.
   -  Can you recommend any good collections ?
   -  Also perhaps some good collections in matrix (for example for
      Deluxe Paint use) ?
   I'm interested in a wide variety of themes, including general topics.
-  Of course I'd also appreciate sites, where I can find these collec-
   tions (PD naturally).

-  Lastly, what's the best PD-program for reading DOS-disks on the Amiga?
-  Is there any PD-program similar to CrossDos ?
-  Where can they be found ?

Thank you all so much for your help, I appreciate it !

E-Mail responses, please, I might not be reading the news.

Recently there are numbers of shareware/pd programs that store their 
documentation in a hypertext format, something called "AmigaGuide".

I have the amigaguide.library version 33.1369 in my libs: directory.  Now, 
tell me how to read those *.guide files.

Some of the programs that use amigaguide.library are Csh, SuperDuper, Term.

Please help...
