Hi there,

I'm looking for a Guide to be used on an Atari ST. I know something about
Pascal an I even have Pure-Pascal, which is supposed to be Turbo-Pascal
(or Borland-Pascal) compatible. If there is anyone interested I would like
to port The Guide to the ST. 

If there is someone who has already tried (successful ?) or is willing to
help me, please contact.

It's always a question of getting someone to do it.  I MIGHT be able to hack
something similar together; I have a friend who's been working with XWindows
programming for a while now, and I can always bum the interior code off Steve,
but I'm really busy right now, and overall in general...  From what my friend
has said, programming XWindows isn't that difficult once you get the hang of
the way it's set up, maybe someone else would like to take a crack at it?

I'm interested in one.  Maybe when I figure out how to program the Mac,
I'll start writing one.  But I don't think that will be for a few years,

Like, dude, I don't consider myself to be Mr. Hacker-Type-Person, but I
can, like, generally tell what's going on in a mac program, and
occasionally write something useful (having a huge pile of reference
manuals helps, too.. :) Maybe, like, a bunch of mac-type hackers should,
like, get together and port the guide to the mac, as a group. Or maybe
rewrite it to take advantage of all the Superior Mac Things (tm). But
*first* we'd have to know how the IBM version of The Guide works...

Hmm...  We've gotten reports about almost the EXACT same problem, but it was
usually when TG! was being run on OLD IBM PCs...  I don't think we ever figured
that problem out, but maybe with your bug report we can piece something
together.

I'm not a comp systems engineer (just a lowly comp sci), so I can't put too 
many ideas in.  It seems, though that there is a common factor in that in
locks up on IBM-specific machines (ie. not clones).  What model PS/2 is it,
what kind of procesor does it use, and how old is it?

Just for the hell of it; try unplugging your mouse and running it.  I doubt
it'll do anything, but you never know...  :)

If you don't see the absurdity of this, your critical thinking skills
are pathetic.  With the above statements you abandon any valid claim
to have evidence for this belief of yours.  If there are "some
longstanding members", then there is at least one.  The only evidence
available to you about the nature of the posters to this group is the
content of the posts themselves.  There is nothing ambiguous about who
said what; why are you ambiguous about it, if not because your
evidence will not stand specific examination?  The vagueness makes
your claim harder to disprove, but it makes your claim ridiculous and
contemptible as well.  (As an argument, that is.  As illogic that's
inflammatory in its sheer badness, it's pretty funny.)

It's nothing personal.  I found the analogous claim of the female
Olympic runner that two of the top three finishers used steroids, to be
ridiculous and contemptible as well. 

But the evidence is easily examined.  Quite simply, no one here has
expressed a desire that others fail.  This is quite consistent with
nonetheless wishing that the newsgroup reflect its name.

You receive a response because your remarks are slanderous.  And while
you deride the insults you receive in response, there is a distinction
between attempting to make an argument, and merely attempting to
insult.  Their insults are what they are.  Your "argument", however,
is riddled with fallacies.  In fact, your argument is just a flame in
disguise: there is plenty to annoy people, but at heart there are
_nothing but_ fallacies.  Your imputation that the volume of response
to your "arguments" is evidence of their truth is typical in that it
is both fallacious and inflammatory (with your dry presumption to
mindreading).  That your posting is mere insult renders your
condescension towards others' insults comically absurd.

i dont know, both from the tone of his response and my own feelings, what seems
so pissy is that you seem to assume that we all want to make everyone as
miserable as we feel.  while that may be true of some people here, your
statement seems to make it apply to everyone.  actually, ive not seen much if
anything in the way of evidence to cause you to proffer the opinion of "get
out before they try to drag you down."  and while you do indeed have a right
to your opinion, i too have the right to take umbrage at opinions that would
seem to confer an ill deserved attribute upon me.

1. well, considering that the file "Practice Random Acts of Violence" was 
written as a spoof of the acts of kindness article, id hardly call it a true 
post about random violence.  it definitely wasnt seriously about being randomly
violent.
2. and your statement of disagreing with all posts about randome violence,
does that mean youd be against one condemning it?

some would argue that suicide is a form of form of planned violence.  if that
really is the case, i would have a hard time understanding why youd read about
it for pleasure.

it should also be pointed out, that the typical expense of one of said lights
is usually in the $500+ range.  it is therefore a good idea to consult with a
shrink to see whether you likely have seasonal affective disorder and whether
such a light might help.  also, if the attending psychiatrist prescribes said
lights, then, depending on the carrier, insurance might kick in for part of
the purchase price.
