incorrect.  DAT is quite available.  there are no laws in the us against DAT
machines, and no laws requiring SCMS (the digital copy protect code).  the
manufacturers are putting SCMS into the machines, and the manufacturers are
keeping the prices high.  can you say "SONY?"

the history you describe must be that of a parallel universe.

SCMS is to prevent making infinite copies of a digital recording digitally.
it is being pushed through congress by the "record companies" which are owned
by the japanese.

     Don't get your hopes up about Paula 2.0.  It sounds like a cool program,
but after printing out the documents,  I realized it's for Ste/TT owners only.
Somethings that sound too good to be true sometimes are.   :(
     Anything out there for a lowly ST user like myself that is in the same
genre?  I tried mplay1_2.lzh, but it slows down all my MODS.  The only way
to make them speed up is to go in and edit each one to adjust the speed.
What a drag!  I also tried cdplayer.lzh (both  from Atari.archive), but I
couldn't get it to run.  Anyone else with a similar problem?
     Any more suggestions?  Maybe I should get a bigger CD collection,
but that isn't as fun....

I have uploaded litpuz2.zoo and litpz2gf.zoo to

The new version now contains 5 little puzzles which run
only on a colour monitor. The binaries are in litpuz2.zoo
and the GFA Basic 3.5 sources are in litpz2gf.zoo.

BLKPUZ - a difficult sliding block puzzle
ROTATPUZ - something similar to the RUBIC cube but only 2 dimensional
  (now made more difficult)
MAZE3D - a maze connected in 3 dimensions.
  (now has 4 modes of operation, special graphical effects)
DELIVER - an easy matching puzzle

v3.0 of FZDSterm is gonna have more emulations (with luck VT100) built

Also, using shadowterm on TOS1.2 using the standard GEM file-selector,
it won't read the information from the disk, and locks up completely!

But, when Universal-Item-Selector III is loaded, it works!

 Well Mark you have this a little wrong and for your information

I already wrote a follow-up to this article, but have forgotten one thing:
please do not defragment your HD twice a day - IMO that's ridiculous. It *is*
good -and even necessary (again IMO)- to defragment once in a while, but
*twice* a day...? I do it once every few months or so - whenever I notice a
considerable speed-decrease.
It's also a good idea to have a separate partition for data that changes a lot
(e.g. projects you're working on, stuff you've downloaded, etc.) and separate 
partitions for 'stable' data (e.g. programs). The 'changeable' partition will
get fragmented the most whereas the 'stable' partitions won't get fragmented at
all (or hardly...) This way you need only defragment one partition - spares a
lot of effort, time and HD-access (esp. with a 210M hd it's very nice to not
have to defragment the entire disk).

that's it,
Hendrik Jan

I can't be really sure, but try to rename your lzh201j.lzh to
lzh.ttp and run it as an executable to extract itself:
(as I remember, it is a PFX archive with other files included)

lzh.ttp x lzh.ttp
(or before, lzh.ttp all alone: it will give you a hint)

I repeat, it's not sure (and I can't test cause I don't have acces
to an ST any more !) but almost !

Just tell your modem "S0=1" such as

Or... just type ATA at the modem when the phone rings...
