Subject:      query:

I have a question that might be a little off base(but then again, I am
sitting working as the op in a mac lab...on a mac classic at this point in
time, so off base is allowed, hopefully...).
    How hard would it be for a few Desk Top Video/Dek Top Publishing people
in the Amiga community, outside of Commodore itself, and create some form
of advertisement that could be plopped in Commodore's lab with a "well, if
you'll pay to have this run, here's an ad!"?  I mean, I have plenty of
ideas, but with my 14MHz 500 w/2 880K drives, there's only so much I can
do, but if a couple of "power" users with VToasters and the like were to
put their heads together, would it not stand to reason that they could blow
those silly "intel inside" and I*M ads out of the water?  Would this also
open C='s eyes a little and show them how easily THEY could do it, if their
user base could do it?
    I am more than willing to help anyone out that thinks this worthwhile.
    I am also more than willing to drive up to C= and not leave until they
allow me to create an ad on their machines, or have me arrested.(only
partially kidding)
    My opinion as of late:  If you want it done, do it yourself.
    Apparent C= opinion as of late:  Well, three ads....that enough for a
while...
    Am I nuts?  Or obsessed?  Or both?  I think I am just a _wee_
frustrated at not being able to promote my wonderful machine any more than
bringing people to my room, showing them euro_demos and games(and, of
course, my extensive fractal collection(half of which is dead because of
$&%@#%@^$(%^ disk errors!)), and I want to do something.
    Operation: <place suitable fanatic response here> ;)

Well, enough ranting.  I hope that there might be someone out there who, if
not willing themselves, be willing to let me at their video production
equipment(and some neat-o rendering programs).....C= sure isn't.  Paper is
fine for awhile....but sooner or later, you HAVE to hit the
airwaves...preferably the ones that show up on prime time television.
Argh...I'm rambling.

Subject:      Patchm.lzh & archie

A couple of quick questions......

First, does anyone know where I could find Patchm.lzh, it's a demo of
PatchMeister..I know it's on Compuserve and I can't seem find it on the nets.

I know, I know, try archie...That leads me to my next question.

I looked for Patchm.lzh at archie.unl and didn't find it. Does that mean
it doesn't exist on the nets, or could I find it at another archie site?

Do all the archie sites share all the same info?

That is something like 132 MB of RAM.  And for $599 I say a definite yes.  I
purchased mine for $700 and thought that was a great price.

Subject:      Re: DCTV

The reason I asked if it was on FTP is that the program won't do you much
good if you don't have the hardware.  For example, people have been placing
Emplant (Mac II emulator) upgrade software on FTP sites.  Since you need the
hardware to run the software, the software alone is no use.  This is the same
for DCTV.  Although you could paint without the hardware, you wouldn't see
what you are doing.

WordPerfect on the other hand doesn't require hardware, which should make
it plain and clear that it shouldn't be on FTP sites.  Since I bought the
hardware, DC should have sent the upgrade to me.  But since they didn't, I'm
just trying to locate the upgrade.  Since the upgrade should have been free,
I don't think it would be a problem to have it on FTP sites, with the
permission of DC.  On the other hand, an upgrade to the Video Toaster, which
the upgrade is a commercial product, shouldn't be on FTP land.  Just wanted
to make my point clear.

I'm not for putting non-hardware product ugrades on FTP.  Just patches and
programs to make hardware products work better.

You could try buying some high guage wire and sodering that to the switcher,
and then place that high grade wire into the socket pin that you need the
switcher to connect t.  If the wire is thick enough and you are careful that
should solve the problemo.

The times this has happened to me I try the following:
  At the FTP prompt ftp> (or something similar) type USER and hit return
  This should bring up a username: response assuming it does type anonymous
and hit return.
If the system does not respond to that with password: or please type your
e-mail address as your password: type PASS at the FTP prompt and hit return.
The system should then respond with password:  At that point type your
complete e-mail address (e.g.:  collins_b@niehs.nih.gov would be mine) and hit
return.  You should now be into the system.  At least it has worked that way
for me!

I guess that explains why they had that fire sale a little while ago, I
bought Red Baron and A10 1.5 at ridiculously low prices.  It'll be
interesting to see what appears in their next magazine which should be
due out soon.  Wonder if they'll send me one?  I've been getting their
magazine since my Apple ][ days, wonder if they have me down in their
lists as having an Amiga?

One more thing I forgot....hopefully Dynamix will keep going and someone
else will pick up the distribution and marketing of their stuff.  Sierra
did not really do any of the games I like from them themselves anyway.

You can do a simple crlf translation using a utility called sed,
which is on all Unix systems and is available for MS-DOS from
wuarchive (try systems/msdos/gnuish).

The format is "sed s/\r/\r\l/ {amigafile} > {msdosfile}"

The file {msdosfile} will have a CR/LF replaced for every LF, which is
what you want.

I don't think there is a version of sed for the for Amiga, so I ported
it myself from the GNU source code (plug-plug).  I just haven't posted
it anywhere yet.

P.S.  If anyone knows of an Amiga version of sed, let me
know so I won't waste any more of my time with it.

P.P.S.  If anyone is *INTERESTED* in an Amiga version of sed, let me
know and I'll post it.

A friend who updated to 2.05 bought a 2091 for $45.  I have seen them
in Amiga World ads for around $50.  I have also been told that the
2090a controller will work just fine with 2.04.  The 2090a will also
work with the st-506 type drives (my friend had a scsi drive so moving
to the 2091 was not a problem).  I can only suggest that you look
around for either a used 2090a controller, or a used SCSI drive and
buy a new controller.

One thought.  Did you remember to copy the hddisk.device from your
1.2 boot disk to your 2.05 boot disk?  That could explain why your
2.05 is not recognising your controller.  2.05 roms only have the
scsi device driver in the rom.  I say this becuase you should still
be able to use your 2090 controller even under 2.05.  Don't
forget to bring over those mountlist entries from 1.2 also.

You do realize that even under 2.05 you will not be able to boot
off the hard drive with that controller, which is probably a good
reason to find a used scsi and a 2091 controller.

     * Does the A1200 come with an internal IDE controller?
     * Can the 2.5in drive be mounted internally?
     * Are the 2.5in drives more expensive than other dives such as a 3.5in
     * What are your opinions on the PanaSync monitor, can is sync down to

 I would like to buy an A1200 when they are released for sale in the US.

It's a good idea to use a gateway to bitnet, try the following:-

listserv%ucf1vm.bitnet@UBVM.cc.buffalo.edu

This will use ubvm as the gateway, there are many others besides ubvm.

Hi guys,
    I haven't tried this out yet but RXblank claims to load relatively randomly
one of your screen blankers from a specified drawer.  So if you place 25
executable screen blankers in a drawer and tell it where it is, place RXblank
in your WBstartup drawer.  You should get a random one of those 25 each time
you boot.  Sounds great, I'll let you know when I try it...... Of course thet
means I need more 2.X screen blankers.... Any more great ones out there like
ASWARM3??????? :>   The cuter the better.  I wish AfterDark would come out on
the Amiga or some great Shareware programmer would make it.  I definetely buy,
or register that.  Novices freak out over AfterDark..... :>

"Mommy Mommy, look the fishies......
                       flying toasters......
                       Lightning.......
                       etc...... "

I challenge a Shareware programmer out there to undertake the task and I pledge
him my $25 donation....... LONG LIVE AMIGA!!!!!!!!!

Go Guys Go............. Please????? C'mon Please!!!!!!! I know you want one
too.

-Nyle
