Subject: Professional users Wanted
Date: 12 Oct 92 16:47:25 GMT
Followup-To: comp.sys.amiga.graphics
Organization: Telecom Paris, France



Hello,

we are a group of french engineer students in the fields of computer science,
electronics and telecommunications (Ecole Nationale Superieure des
Telecommunications de Paris), and we have constituted an Amiga user group
(Club Amiga Telecom-Paris).

As one of our members will probably go to Chicago in November 1992, we would like
to know if it would be possible to meet there some 'Professionnal users' of
the Amiga:

We indeed write a series of arcticles in a french Amiga newspaper (Amiga-News),
oriented towards the often-unknown professional use of the Amiga.

Having the opportunity to go to Chicago, we thus would be very interested in
interviewing such users there during November 1992.

That's why we are currently looking for addresses of these users in the area of
Chicago. Could you help us ? Do you know professional users of the Amiga ?

These could be for example :
- any research lab which uses the amiga and made some original developments on it,
- the NASA (which certainly has a department near Chicago),
- some universities which participate in developments on the Amiga (like it is for
the university of South California, Lowell,... in other areas),
- some more 'exotic' things (such as the SLAC (Stanford Linear Accelerator Center)
which seems to use the Amiga for focussing their beams in the area of Stanford...)


So, if you know any professional use of the Amiga made in the area of Chicago,
could you please let us know ?

Thanks a lot.

pbmplus is pretty bad at converting iff2gif, IMHO.  This is because
when you convert iff to ppm, it changes even a 2-color file to a
24-bit file!  Then when you convert to gif it converts it to 8-bit.  I
want something that will convert a 2-color iff to a 2-color gif!

Thank you Ben. I'm glad I bought the auto-upgrade. I think Black Belt has by
far the most user friendly upgrade policy I've seen.

Help!!!
	I've got Imagine 2.0 and I use the FP version on my A3000.  Everything
seems to work fine, except when I went to include a glass object in a
ray-traced scene.  As soon as the machine gets to the glass object, every time,
it crashes; either a guru, or the pointer starts to move sporadically (like a
Mac during disk access).  I've tried changing the attributes; setting the
filter to 000 eliminates the problem, but then I don't have glass!  Has anyone
else run into this?  I tried the program on my friends '030 equipped A2000 and
the same exact thing happened.  The object is a disk with the center point
removed extruded along a circular path.  Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 Except for one thing: I'll admit, it may be neat to be able to rescale
on the fly, and all that stuff, but is that anything more than a gimmick?
Does it really improve an animation by being ablt to do that? Personally,
I thinl the Amiga's animation abilities to do FULL SCREEN (I have yet to see
quicktime do more than postage stamps, and yes it can be blown up, but into
huge pixels) animations far superior to QuickTime.

To anyone who is interested in 24-bit image manipulation tools:

Black Belt Systems now has available, for free, a new 6-page full-color
brochure which describes Imagemaster.

The brochure contains forty-two color images which were produced, one way or
another, by Imagemaster.  There is also a fair amount of descriptive text.

If you've ever gotten a B&W or photocopied brochure from us, you'll want to
see this one - it has the detail that lets you know what you can get
accomplished. We believe that this should provide a good overview of what
Imagemaster is capable of.

To receive one of these brochures, call (800) 852-6442 in the US or Canada,
or (406) 367-5513 elsewhere. You can also FAX a request for a brochure to
(406) 367-2329. Again, there is no charge or obligation involved; we just
want as many people as possible to see this brochure, because we're sure that
once you see it, you'll understand why Imagemaster is by far the most
powerful, flexible and comprehensive image manipulation system available for
the Commodore Amiga.

Due to NUMEROUS mail requests for information about the Emplant board (PLEEZE
STOP SENDING ME MAILLLL!), here's a little bit of info. If anyone needs more
information, the VP of Emplant Corp. is on the net somewhere (try .hardware...),
ask him...

Emplant is touted as the be-all, end-all emulation board for the Amiga. It is
a rather unimpressive hardware board that, with the addition of the proper ROM
set, will allow emulation of almost any computer under the sun. It is slated to
begin its life with emulation for the MAC II series of computers, with chips
to drive MAC III (Quadra) ROMS coming R.S.N., and ROMS for the PC computers 
coming ?maybe?.

Of course, the Emplant itself is coming R.S.N., as it was originally slated to
appear in July and is still nonexistant from a consumer point of view.

Subject: New 1960 Monitor HELP
Date: 15 Oct 92 20:48:21 GMT
Organization: University of Pittsburgh via AMIGA

Hi,
	I just purchased a C=1960 monitor :-)!  Now a few questions
about it.  BTW I'm at school and do not have many manuals here so please
don't tell me to RTFM!
	Right now when I use the monitor in any mode (I have OS2.1 w/
productivity, super72, etc) I get the nice crisp black border around
every edge EXCEPT for the right edge, this remains the background color
all the way to the right.  Is there any way to correct this?
	Also, in some modes I need to readjust the horizontal position
to the left or right, but then when I flip to another screen in back
with a different mode I must adjust the screen the other way, is there
any way to avoid this?
	Also, when I put it in a mode like productivity I notice a
DRASTIC slow down in any drawing operation, like putting up icons, etc.
I realize that more information must be sent to the monitor (actually
twice as much), but the slow down is very dramatic, any help?  Along
with this, I also get a similar slowdown when in any of the european
modes (I use these so that I get the faster refresh rate 72 instead of
60).
	Lastly, I also noticed a thin band (about 10-20 pixelsish) along
the right border that is lighter than the background by a little bit, is
this supposed to be there (this band is outside the normal screen size,
i.e. would be in the black border if the border were black).

	The book that comes with is says in regards to the ADDING
HORIZONTAL WIDTH switch..."This switch is used in conjunction with the
function on your Commodore Amiga allowing the user to select two types
of display - with or without a border (refer to your Amiga User's Guide
for details.)
	What is this referring to????

	Thanx, any and all help would be gratefully accepted...
