Subject:      Re: MultiScan Monitors

Dan,


        Even the monitors with the black borders support overscan.  It is
just the fact that the amiga signal output for some reason seems to create
that problem on some monitors.  Has to do with the idiosyncracies of the
ibm signal output.  I don't recall the technical reason offhand.  But, there
is one.  Anyway, the dreaded black boarder is absend on C= monitor but on
most of the others there is a horizontal and vertical size control that you
can use to eliminate most of the boarder (But, you are NOT changing the
overscan-- just the display size).  I have a panasync 1381i and have a
1/4" border on the sides and none on the top.  That is using the adjustment
controls.  (And I am running Overscan at 698X468).  Considering the panasync
goes for $300 mail order and the 1960 goes for $525-550 mail order, I'll
take a 1/4" black boarder anyday.  However, the C= monitor is a dual sync
monitor and scans at all appropriate rates and does all display modes.
Many of the third party monitors though scanning at the appropriate rates
have problems with overly dark productivity mode.   That is not that
important to most people, though.

Question....

Has the amiga-s list been renamed or dropped all together?
I'm looking to pick up the Amiga sources and binaries list
but it is no longer listed in the listserv global listing.
Or is it???

Any info would be appreciated....      Thanks...

First off, Hello!

Secondly, thanks go out to all who answered my questions on how to
communicate w/ a VAX.

However I beleive I've found a better way.  My VAX is Z-modem capable!
There are two public domain files, sz.exe (send zmodem) and rz.exe (receive
zmodem,) that do the job.  All I do is type:

sz filename.ext

and JR-Comm (my term) recognizes the D/L challenge and starts receiving.
All of you that were using Kermit might want to speak with whoever
runs your VAX and see if those files are obtainable.  If not I can send
them to you.

HD would be fine, but it works without it too. 
There is a install script to install TeX (with WB) on 5 disks.
But recommended is a HD. :)

The cost.. :)
AmigaTeX has better postscript and pictures support and the virtex/initex
program is a bit faster than the PasTeX initex/virtex.

But PasTeX is also a complete TeX with ARexx support and a very nice
previewer.

Hi Victor,

I would still recommend TeX, for three reasons:

1. TeX is public domain. There is also a commercial version if you need
   that type of support too.

2. The previewer for the Amiga IS TRUE wysiwyg. You will see on your screen
   exactly the way you will see it on paper.

3. TeX has been ported to all major platforms (VMS, Unix, Amiga, MS-dos), you
   learn the langauge once, and you can use it on any system.

another reason I just thought of: since TeX files are straight ASCII, they tend
to be easier to transport to other systems running TeX.  Another: Since TeX is
not an editor, you can use which ever editor you are comfortable with that can
save an ascii file.

TeX can be found on ab20.larc.nasa.gov (get it fast while it is still up).

I'm planning on getting a HD system for my A500 this summer. I would
also like to get a 68030 card down the road, perhaps by Microbotics.
The Dataflyer system looks good becuase of price/performance.
Now, please correct me if I'm wrong... The Dataflyer comes with no
on-board RAM socket board. You must buy a board as a separate purchase
and install the RAM. Now, using a 68030 board really needs 32-bit RAM
for great speed increases. Well, I thought if I buy let's say a GVP
A500 drive and add RAM, it would be useless for the 68030 board.
So, I'm thinking get the DataFlyer, 68030, and the 68030 32-bit RAM board.
Is this correct? Of course I belive that if I dissable the 68030 board
my 32-bit RAM can not be accessed.

Yes, you can connect the monitor in this way via a monitor switch.
The PCWindow software does not emulate VGA, so you'll probably
want to pursue the dual-connection approach.

Also consider overscan.  The NEC 3D will give you black borders, the
1950 will not (not sure about the Sanyo).  The newest NEC monitors (FS?)
have adjustable overscan but I have not heard how successful it is on an
Amiga from an Amiga user.

I've looked around at monitors for awhile.  I'm looking for a 16" (or
larger) multi-sync monitor which supports all 3000 video modes and
overscan for under $1000.  I have not found the ideal monitor yet.  It
probably exists, I just have not found it.

Subject:      Questons...

Hello all amy users,

I am from Singapore. We do not have support (decent ones I mean) for Amiga.
We do not have talented ppl to do all those amazing demos that I use to get
from ab20. So it has always amazed me when I saw those demos (eg. hardwire)
from ab20. I have a few qns (hope that they are not silly):
1. How are those demos done? What package/utilities the ppl use to do the
demos? I really hope that one day I could make my own demos. Could someone
guide me as to where I should start off?
2. I use to 'buy' (ya! Buy!) pirated copies of games and utilities from some
shops here (there are only 3-4 amiga shops in my country). It always puzzle
me as how did the ppl crack the passwords? Is there a utility specially for
cracking password? Can someone teach me?
3. What is CRC? I use to get this CRC problem when I download stuff from ab20.
Is there something wrong with the .lzh files?
4. I am doing some BASIC programming. I encounter this ".bmap" problem. I need
to use the convertFD in the Extras Disk to get my .bmap libraries. I don't
know what are all these. How do I get the .bmap files? Could someone help me.
5. I am very amazed by the music potential of amiga. I have a copy of
DeluxeMusic. I wanted to compose some tunes and save them such that when I
click on their icons they are able to load and play. Is it possible? How to
do it? I don't want to load the main program. I just want to play the tunes
by just clicking the icons.
6. Are there any programs that can display pictures according to the time
specifications given by the user? I mean something like a slide shows. Where
can I get it then?

Thanx in advance. Any advice will be most appreciated.

I have had success using NewFish.orig which came with the Aquarium1-550

How I did it:  I pulled the fish catalog files from ux1.cso.uiuc.edu,
one catalog per file.  Then I ran the NewFish.orig program.  I did not
alter the catalog files in any way.  The newfish.orig ignores the first
couple lines in the file telling what disk the file is the catalog for.

        When specing our postproduction suite, I talked to a number of folks
about acclerator bds.  Two folks told me to steer clear of 50MHz bds-- they
run hot.  Other than that, your ok with Toaster compatibility as far as I
know.

	As a person who is interested in the Amiga but do not own one at present
	(due to money constraints), I like to know whether owners who do not
	have the ECS should upgrade or get a deinterlacer instead.


Go for the de-interlacer.

Could someone tell me the names and sites of the programs necessary
for updating the aquarium?
Thanks

Subject:      Re: Unix and GIS

It was suggested to me that I make the GIS port to AmigaDos rather than
Unix.  The only problem with that is that the software is HEAVILY dependant
upon Unix already.  Also, if I release the code along with it, there is a lar
larger GIS market in Unix System V v.4 than there is in AmigaDos.  The
GIS would require a minimum of an 030 33Mhz accelerator w/fpu to even
be tolerable.  The faster machines often have the Unix OS.

Thanks for the input though!  Keep in touch.
