If anyone wants an old Akai reel to reel tape recorder with built in valve
amplifiers, looks good but doesn't really work, they can have it.

Likewise if anyone has any use for an old Videogame system (I forget
what it is exactly, colour graphics and plug in games, but not a
modern one like Nintendo or Sega (Intellivision rings a bell)) - also
not working I think, it's theirs.

Also, if anyone wants the rolling chassis to a Suzuki GP125 motorcycle
(no motor or anything except frame and wheels), they can have it.
(Actually they can have the tank and seat if they really want them,
but I think they are rusted beyond repair).

Sorry to people who don't live in Sydney, but I am too lazy to send
these things anywhere. If anyone wants them they have to come and get
them.

Hiya, Newsgrazers (you should be working, you know!  Sorry :-)

I'm selling my Amiga 2000 system.  All of the below are less than 1 year
old, in perfect condition.

Amiga 2000 with: Fatter (1 meg chip) Agnus
                 ECS Denise (ie. can do Productivity etc modes)
                 Both 1.3 and 2.04 ROM (switchable)
                 2 disk drives
                 Keyboard and mouse (duh!)

40 MB Quantum Prodrive (11 ms read/19 ms write), with GVP Series II
		 controller (ie. a damn fast card/drive)
		 
4 MB RAM         (Also on GVP controller - gives a total of 5 MB RAM)

Multisync monitor

24 pin Epson LQ400 printer

StarCursor Joystick (probably the best on the market)

El-Cheapo disposable joystick :-)

Amplifier & speakers.

Heaps of software, both games and "serious" applications.

Various manuals & cables for the above.

Because I'm selling its host computer, I'll also throw in a Vectrix
VX384 graphics terminal & long-persistence monitor - does all sorts
of 2D/3D graphics stuff, and has a resolution of 672x480, in 512
colours (from a palette of 16 million).  Yes, it comes with a program
to display GIFs :-)

I may have forgotten some stuff, but I think the above is a pretty
complete list.

I may throw in a flicker fixer as well, but this is subject to some
delicate negotiations with its owner :-)

The price?  $2400 - but feel free to make an offer.

Regards,

Roddi Walker

Not so much a forsale posting, as a price check. I am currently in the U.S. due
to return to OZ soon, and noticed an ad in a catalog for an Australian Made
tent. It's called an Australian Walkabout tent, Floor size is 10 ft x 14 ft,
with a zip on 6 ft x 14 ft annex. It's selling for $259 here. Can anyone give
me an indication as to what it would sell for in Australia. I'm just trying to
work out whether I would save money buying it here, or can wait...

Hello All!  A few items cluttering up my cupboard need to go.

Alloy 40 meg tape drive.  Model APT-40. Works off the floppy controller and
comes with ResQ software and docs.  (Although I used CP Backup because it's
better). I'll also include 2 tapes.  Can't find the docs for the drive itself,
but there is only one set of switches so it won't be hard to work out :-)  The
unit is in excellent condition and is hardly used.  Has a black front.   $200.

Printer/Modem switch boxes.  There are 2 of these.  4 x 25 way 'D' inputs, with
one output. These are brand new and were purchased for a project which never
happened.  $35 each or both for $60

Centronics Printer switch box.  Includes Centronics to Centronics cable for
connecting to the printer.  Has 3 inputs and 1 output.               $35

SCSI controller.  8 bit, Future Domain TMC-130.  These do some strange things
sometimes and would benefit from a ROM upgrade, but work OK with most hard
drives.  The boot rom's can be disabled for CD-ROM and tape use, but I have no
drivers for them.  I can point you to a place to buy new ROM's, drivers, etc. 2
of these.  $50 for both.  No docs.

SCSI Controller. 16 bit Western Digital FASST.  Complete with manual, drivers
for everything and packing.  This was only used once to evaluate a 1 gig drive
for a friend.  Unused warranty card.    $250

Paradise compat. SVGA card.  512K RAM very quick.  $100.

Trident 8900C SVGA card with 1 Meg RAM, includes docs and drivers.  $100

4 x Scotch DC300A tapes, used.  $10 each or all 4 for $35.

200 watt PS, to suit mini-tower or slim case.  No switch.  $70

4 port serial card.  Complete with docs and connectors.  All ports are fully
configurable.   2 of the UART's are socketed   $80

MicroSoft bus mouse.  This is the older, chunky looking one, has a brand new
card.        $50

I'll pay courier delivery for anything over $100.   Any replies may be left
here, or netmail.

Dear friends, 
 
A  useful and interesting program (potentially) for sending text messgages via 
bulletin boards in different languages is now available.

The program costs $40 per registration. It is called The Interpreter and 
Explainer or TIE for short and is Australian made.
 
The programs converts text from one language to another in a literal 
sense but the construction of dictionary databases makes it surprisingly 
good in a common sense way. It should be remembered that a single 
sophisticated interpreter costs many thousands of dollars. TIE is 
accessable to many individuals because of its low cost. One language 
dictionary set is available with TIE now and others are being created. 
The language dictionaries are English to Italian, Italian to English,
and comprise some 5000 terms each, which can be expanded upon. 

An English to German, German to English is being created and will take some six months to finish. Upon registration of the program one dictionary set is available for free. Any other dictionary set will cost an extra 
$15 each. 

TIE would also be very useful for phonetic language work, ie for overseas travellers.

This program is being promoted in an interactive fashion. People may use it to create dictionaries for their own needs, and if they are well produced are asked to submit them back to PenFriend Software for appraisal, possible purchase and then re-release to the public, i.e. (REGISTERED USERS). A list of available dictionaries will be made known from time to time.
 
TIE is also and instant "text reading dictionary". Text on various subject 
matter can be loaded into TIE along with a matching dictionary and then 
terms can be looked up at the push of a button. Also, terms within text 
can be defined in an appropriate manner at the push of a button. 
 
Included with TIE is a built-in text editor or word processor which is 
fairly powerful. This lends a very useful extension to the progam. 
Upgrades of the program are available for a period of twelve months 
after registration.
 
If you are interested in seeing this program for MSDOS systems a copy can 
be sent to your postal address, but not by e-mail at present.

Disks are sent in 720k, 1.2 or 1.4Meg format.
The program should be used with a hard drive.
A colour screen would also be better.
 
TIE is being marketed along the SHAREWARE lines, which is a try before you buy system. 
 
Please reply to Mr. Craig Walter,
PenFriend Software 
P.O. Box 534 Brighton 5041, SA. 
or C/- the PROUT Pegasus e-mail box.
Sincerely,
Craig Walter

Hi,
	I've had a lot of trouble with cnews which we used to
blame on bad Telecom lines (since we used to have a problem with 
email and fetchfiles with corrupted characters). The problem is that
the batched news articles come through with the wrong length:

	#! rnews length

This results in articles which are cut short and an endless stream 
of mail to the user ``news''. The actual batched news contains all 
the lines.

I assume that this has nothing to do with my site since these
are compressed and c7encoded.

I'm using cnews with a patch date of 27-AUG-1991 on a AT-386
running ISC2.2 SysVr3.2.

To fix the problem for now, I wrote a filter which puts in the
correct length before relaynews is called (had a look though
relaynews for a simpler solution but it gets a bit complicated).

So, does anyone else experience this problem? Is there a proper
solution - point me to the right spot in the docs (gently).

Thanks for your help.
