You can try it. There really is, however, a version 1.1.1 of PageLiner.
If it works (or not) post the results here.

I have the Digiview Gold 4.0 for the 2000.  (Gold module).

When I try to digitize something, I get "WAIT" and nothing happens.  It
hangs. :<  (Yes, I remembered to take the lens cap off.. ;> )

I've gotten the "no video signal present" when I have forgotten to turn on
the camera, and I know that the camera works because I ran it through my

I am apparently getting a video signal when the camera is turned on.  The

Between a couple of finals, I have modified PopUpMenu to render
its menus with the NewLookMenus format if the screen it is rendering
on supports the NewLookMenus for the release 3.0 of the OS.

I don't know if the guy who wrote PopUpMenus would like the code or
not.  He apparently doesn't have an email address, but his wishlist
for his product states that he wants to support the NewLookMenus of
3.0.  He also wants to support the scaled CheckMark and CommandKey.
I haved look at doing this, but it will have to wait until after my
last final, later today.

So, if there is any interest in a version of PopUpMenu that supports
OS 3.0, then I will make a release version in some fashion that
should be acceptable to the creator of PopUpMenu.

Send me e-mail if you have an interest.

I've been using PowerSnap 2.1 under AmigaOS 2.1.  It works perfectly,
and I have seen no difference in behavior from OS2.04.

What does Snap give you that PowerSnap does not?

Yes, I know that snapping programs might get religious arguments
similar to which editor is better, but I would like to know if anyone
has tried both.

PrintMaster dies on either 2.04 or a 32 bit CPU. I can't remember which

Deluxe Print dies on 3.0, and as I recall, it's none too happy with
2.04. EA has no plans to upgrade it.

DTP is fine for big or detailed jobs, but it's overkill for just
knocking out a quick & dirty sign, banner, or greeting card. I'd really
like to have something as simple-minded as Print Shop on the Amiga for
those types of tasks.

My lline that I use reads C:shamsharp {fu} "{f}.iff"
now what I would like is for the new file to be named dragon.iff.

The AW article mentioned that you could basically do the same thing with AdPro
but didn't really go into details.  I've been contemplating getting AdPro and
if it actually outputs like TruePrint does, then it'll be more appealing.  The
only thing is that I printed a 24-bit iff thru AdPro on the local dealer's
computer (he had an HP500 hooked up to it).  It didn't look that much better
than the same output thru PageStream.  Is there some kinda trick to improving
the output?  Mind you, I was just messing around with the software with no clue
as to what I was doing but I think I basically asked it to print the pic.  Or
did I misunderstand the article?

Bars & Pipes Pro should work.  I had extensive use of over 5 keyboards
before I finally purchased an Ensoniq SQ2.  I liked the Roland for it's
digital sounds, but the SQ2's drum maps won me over.  As far as patches
are concerned, B&P pro has a ptool called "SuperDuper" which basically
can be configured to recognize the control track # and you specify what
instrument it is.  Very handy.... You could also go for Patchmiester
from Blue Ribbon, but the learning curve is rather steep.  I've still

Try an ECE midi: it has midi in, out & thru....and has a serial pass

No, I don't think it is a religious issue, it is the issue that
PowerSnap instantly freezes my machine while Snap has always
worked flawlessly.  (under 2.04)  Other people have reported
exactly the reverse.  I would rather use PowerSnap because it is
actively supported whereas the author of Snap apparently has
abandoned the Amiga and not left the source code with anyone.

Of course.  I'm really looking forward to being able to snap
things that are not even on the screen.  It will be so handy when
I can just cut and paste from a book over on my shelf without
even opening it.  The digitizer industry is doomed.

I'm not sure what you mean by C++ compatible.  SAS/C is a fully ANSI
compliant C compiler with related tools.  It can be used with a 
C++ front end like Comeau C++.  SAS Institute will be coming out
with its own C++ in 1993 as well, and this C++ will require SAS/C
version 6.x.

What's it worth writing to Heidelberg if they don't answer either? After getting 
from you, Doug, the advice to contact Heidelberg regarding the upgrade of my
Lattice C compiler included in the Lattice C++ package I called them first. They
told they would send me an upgrade offer. After 6 weeks waiting I wrote them again
and asked for an upgrade offer. Nothing yet and it's only 4 weeks ago. In the meantime
I was really thinking of forgetting SAS-C and switch to Maxxon C++ instead, but 
couldn't make up my mind yet.

Snap can snap graphics.  Also, on my A500, PowerSnap is way too slow, and
occasionally hangs, so I have to reset. (BTW, I'm using 2.04.) However, I
like the way PowerSnap highlights the selected text, better than Snap, but
given it's limitations, I can't use it.
