Here's a weird one:

I tried editing a file in the current directory with vi (SteVi,or
something like that)

Seems if I don't have a '.' in the filename, vi doesn't see it and
opens up a new file instead.
If I edit the new file and save it, vi puts a '.' at the end of the
filename.

I've gone to different directories and tried this, with the same
result.

If I exit mint and run gulam, then the vi editor works fine.

Is there some kind of variable I'm forgetting to set in Mint?

thanks for help,

PD

According to a recent article on Atari in Computer Shopper (either
March 92 or October 92), Warner, who owned majority stock in Atari (at
the time), also had invested in the Amiga company.  Jack T. was
disposed of at Commodore and then later courted by Warner to buy most
of Atari.  After Jack T. bought it (at a very good price according to
Computer Shopper), he persuaded many Commodore people to Atari.  This
left Commodore crippled so they bought up the Amiga.  Jack T. sued on
the basis that since Warner had a stake in Amiga so did Atari.  I
think it is true that Atari got a cash settlement, but according to
this article the merits weren't enough such that Commodore would lose
the Amiga.

Of course 286's are still available... I was just spoofing roger, who's

 CODEHEAD ANNOUNCES WARP 9 (3.71)
 CodeHead Technologies ups the Fun Quotient in the Atari world with
 Extend-O-Save, the modular screensaver in the new version of Warp 9!  No
 longer do you have to put up with the same dull screensaver graphics day
 after day -- with Extend-O-Save the possibilities are almost limitless.
 Warp 9 now comes with 5 screensaver modules (maybe more by the time you
 read this).  The method for writing modules will be freely distributed,
 so any programmer will be able to write new modules at will.  PinHead is
 now built into Warp 9, so you can remove one more program from your AUTO
 folder.  Full automatic control of the 'fastload' effect for specific
 programs is included, just as it was in PinHead.  A revamped Warp 9
 Control Panel, with new controls, and an improved 'Save Config' option.
 To upgrade from any previous version of Warp 9 to the new Extend-O-Save
 version, just send us your original Warp 9 master disk and a check for
 $15.00 (includes postage and handling).  When you mail us the disk,
 there's no need for a special envelope or disk mailer; simply put it in
 a normal letter-sized envelope and drop it in the mailbox.  If you own
 any version of Quick ST or Turbo ST, you can upgrade to Warp 9 for just
 $30.00 by sending us your original disk and a check.  (The previous
 limited $20 upgrade offer has been extended at this new price.)  The
 retail price of Warp 9 is $44.95.  CodeHead Technologies, P.O. Box 74090

I have been able to disassemble plain code with DIS2ND.  Yes, it does say
that it can only disassemble .PRG, .TTP, .TOS, etc.  However, it can tell
that a .PRG is not a normal program if it doesn't have the normal headers.
So rename the file with the plain code to .PRG and disassemble.  The
output will go to the root of the drive that you specify.  (I have used
this to disassemble boot sectors.)

The 
Falcon030's 68030 has a 24-bit address/16-bit data bus.  It get's a little 
confusing, though, because the COMBEL (the system controller) has a 32-bit 
bus to RAM and to the VIDEL (the video controller).  The machine on the 
whole, though, isn't a 'TRUE' 32-bit machine (kinda like the Mac LC 
II/Performa 400).  The PDS (processor-direct slot) is also 24-bit 
address/16-bit data.  There is some hope, though, that a third party will be 
able to 'fix' this (there will, most definitely, be a 32-bit FAST RAM 
expansion for the Falcon030 that will allow more RAM, at least, from what 
I've heard).

Make sure you've got the number of retries spot in the dialer setup dialog
filled in.

If you leave it blank, Uniterm will continue to redial forever.  (Pressing
any key only aborts the current attempt, not the whole sequence.)

Some form of Unix I'd guess (Ultrix?). A vt200 series (vt220=
character terminal/vt240=graphics terminal-color even) terminal is
very useful for a real OS such as VMS :-).

Wonder no longer... :-).

A vt220 terminal has many more keys that can be defined for multitudes
of things. I do some development work for a multiuser program that
uses ALL of the keys on a vt220. It is much easier for me to remember
the vt220 key sequences than the vt100 keys.

Also, there's the question of familiarity. Wouldn't you rather have
one type of keyboard ?? How many people actually USE a vt100 key board
? Why should I be limited to a keyboard from the dark ages (sort of
reminds me of those cheesie Mac keyboards without the function keys) ?

The real issue (I've said this before but it must not have made to the
outside world) is "What do we really want ??!!!!" As far as features a
vt102 compatible "terminal" mode should be the minimum for any
terminal program. For a KEYBOARD, I wouldn't want anything less than a
vt220...

Sorry for the post, but all of my email to you keeps bouncing.  I'd be
interested in any or all of the following if you still have them:

Targhan                       10
California Games              13
Hard Drivin'                  12
Blood Money                   12

Let me know which of these are available, and I'll send you a check.

Well I may be a Dreamer, but it takes Dreamers to get things done.  I will
support ATARI's effort for the Falcon, and I will watch closely how it works
out.. If it doesn't, I guess I'll just have to be another IBM user.  I have
high hopes for ATARI, but I understand why you don't believe in any of ATARI's
Promises..   Why should you?  I guess I just have faith in ATARI, but in my
mind, this is ATARI's last chance.. If it fails, I'll just be an IBM 386 user. 
It would be a shame though.. ATARI under the right leadership can be an awesome
machine..  Under its current leadership, its up to us.

Dear Greg... 
 
Not to pick nits or anything, but here's your original posting:

I think any confusion is understandable..
