Andy,


Speaking of the Hermes connection, I used Umich's dial out modems to
connect to a GEnie number local to Umich.  It was the same, or similar
setup, .25 per call.  But there were big problems trying to configure
the dialout modem for 8 bits rather than 7 bits.  This made downloading
files impossible.  Compuserve offers Kermit, which to my knowledge would solve
the problem, albeit for the price of HORRIBLY slow data throughput.
CIS also has a node directly accessable by any MERIT/Michnet user.
I believe it is "CIS" or  "Compuserve" at the "HOST?" prompt.  Have they
had any problems with Hacker's attempting to break into users' accounts?

The pictures I see are pictures of the castle wall, and it lasts ~2 seconds,
and I just see my character wiggling in the center of the screen, out of

nothing to do w/ the # of men I have left.
The game is copied, so it might be a protection scheme... but I doubt it.

There are a very few programs, like Flight Simulator II and, I think, Atari
Planetarium, which use a copy protection system that checks the disk drive's
RPM.  This doesn't work on the XF551 because it runs at 300 RPM instead of
288 like earlier Atari drives.  So, to run Flight Simulator, you either have
to boot from a 1050 drive or find someone with a pirated copy.  Of course,
there's the Flight Simulator cartridge, but I hear it doesn't work with
scenery disks.

Oh, 'scuse me, I should've said "a die-hard Atari *8-BIT* fan" -- I've
now observed that the Falcon is relevant to the ST family and therefore
NOT something I would have even CARED about knowing about.  Silly me,

it MIGHT have something to do WITH the Atari 8-bit, which I AM a fan of.

 But if the TV set has a composite video input, Fredrik mentions
the SCART connector in his original article, wouldn't the TV
work with an XEP80?

 I mean, the Atari ST and the Amiga both display 640x200
pixel modes on TV sets, this resolution approximately 
corresponds to the 80x25 character mode in the XEP80. I
don't think older colour monitors (for Atari 800, C64 etc)
are different from TV sets with R/G/B and composite video
input.

I finally got around to sorting my old Antic(s) & I think it was June '85
that had an article on the 1030 modem & using Turbo Basic with an R: handler.
Apparently I was in error saying you needed to use a DOS with a lower memlo.
It works, but the Article said it's the TB Autorun.sys file that trashes the
handler so you can use TB's BRUN or BLOAD (whatever?) to load the hander
After TB is loaded.

have happened by chance, or it may have been programmed in, but the [F-] 
keys have functions (nothing unavailable on a function-keyless 8-bit, but 
still mentionable, right?)

Anyways, has anyone come across a way to change the left-margin (which is 
set to 2 rather than 0! ugh!) or any way to block-cut bits of text... or

It's sort of a given these days that Atari Corp. pretty much sucks. 
IMHO, Atari Inc. was excellent, minus the fact that they were more or 
less 90% video games and 10% computers.  If they evened it out a bit, 
things would be excellent these days! (Our REAL big brother would be the 
Amiga, and it would probably be 8-bit compatible!...  ah to dream)

Jim Hood says there might not be enough interest in posting binaries.
Well, I'm interested.  
There are probably a lot of things that don't need to be uploaded to the
archive, like ASP files for instance, but would be nice to have.
Games and applications, etcetera, belong in the archive for sure, but I
like to see what other people produce with certain programs.
These auxilliary type files are, in my opinion, perfect for posting here.
Music files for AMP, AMS.  Picture files for all the various art programs
available for the 8-bit.
Anyone else feel this way?

This note on Internet access.

This is taken from online help for the Michnet dial-in system.

Please note that in accordance with the wishes of Federal agencies
who control the backbone networks through which traffic to
the greater Internet must pass, we can allow access to those parts of
the Internet outside our own network from Hermes ports for which we
can identify the user.  In practice, this means that users who have
dialed in or who are using workstations in public terminal clusters
cannot access Internet hosts outside of Michnet, without further
authorization.


I believe this could also be, in part, why the Cleveland Freenet requires
a signed statement from each user before granting them full access, including
e-mailing capability.

Maybe GEnie is approaching the Internet connection cautiosly for the same
reason.  But it shouldn't cause any problems, GEnie users already have
unique user identifications.  Hopefully we'll see all online services
eventually granting fuller access to the Internet, without all these
surcharges they insist on imposing.

Well this really isn't any big news. Atari has been in deeep financial
trouble for years and I don't think Jack Tramiel ever spent $40 million
on advertising in his entire lifetime.  As for the Jaguar,  judging by
the time it took them to launch the Falcon, we probably won't see any in
the US until late '93. When they show up in Europe/elsewhere is anyone's
guess. Only diehard Atari fans will care anyway,  and it seems that's
enough as far as Tramiel's are concerned. When a story like this runs in
the US (as one did recently in Forbes Magazine) the rest of the
computing world is usually surprized to find out that Atari still exists
at all!

I agree.  There is really no need to moderate the group.  I also 
participate in the comp.binaries.ibm.pc group, and there are generally
fewer than 5 posts in there a week.  Some weeks there are no posts.
Anyway... if that was an issue, i'd be willing to moderate it if no one

Welllll, on my Unix box I have a command a friend wrote especially for

I might be able to get the sources..
The program works great, and is meant to handle

Atari Archive does this to minimize congestion on the poor Net..

I can't see any reason to moderate this proposed group any more than the
alt.binaries groups.  They're not moderated.
The only reason that I can foresee moderation coming into the picture, is
the posting of pirated programs.
This _could_ be a problem, but I don't think we want to shoot ourselves in
the foot doing that.  I think the first person that did it, would be so
ostracized by the rest of us that it just won't happen. (fingers crossed)
Is there any other reason for a 'moderated' Atari 8-bit binaries group
that I don't know of?

You are correct about the XF551 being incompatible with some Atari
software.  The old 810 & 1050 drives spun at a non-standard speed (288RPM?)
and the XF551 ran at a standard 300RPM (i.e., any off the shelf half height
360K drive will run with the XF551).  Some software used the rotational
speed as part of their copy protection - including SubLogic's FS2.
I talked with the folks at SubLogic, and because Atari changed the drive
speed, they discontinued the disk version of FS2 for the Atari.  I then
bitched at Atari and they sent me gratis a cartridge copy of FS2 which was
normally only available bundled with the XE Game System.
The faster rotational speed is also why the XF551 is slightly faster with
DOS 2.x and MYDOS.
