- these are the old CMI boartds which have a bad history!! And this guy

-
- I wouldn't buy one of these on a bet. If you want an accelerator
- buy Dave Small's board or Jim Allen's board. Both are supported by
- real fine people and you won't get burned. Buy one of these discontinued

-
- Support the few remaining ST developers!!

- You can do any screen dumps with the Correct printer driver,
- but not with the built in driver, only supports 9 pin Epsom
- Printers.

- Note: here in New Zealand the 1124 came out as a best bye,
- but that was too late, I had brought a NEC 2200, and wish I had not,

- Note: I brought a Atati because of its Gem capabilties, very easy to
- use and learn, but you keep on about CLI, Why do you live in the

- If I wanted CLI, I would have brought a PC, I am one for things
- that are easy to use, that is how you get more productivity.
- If you what to stay with your Steam Engine, why not go play with it,
- in the Museum.
-
- What is wrong with Thomas Questers version of Lharc, it is fully
- compatible with the PC version, and a lot better, plus it supports
- all the othere LZH/LARC Formats and Unix ones as well, and Note.
- packs far better than all the otheres, and is blindly fast.
-
- Thomas Questers LZH201E, is now in English, and so are PFX and AFX,
- AFX is for Data/Text and RSC files, will unpack them, when they
- are loaded.
- I have tested the Pack option for AFX and found on the 3 RSC files
- that I tried, it was some 60% smaller.
-
- PFX will pack programs, and will save a lot of disk space.
-
- Why not get these programs and give them a try, you have nothing to lose,
- but some thing to gain, you could even end up using them..:-).
- Thas is you use a Atari..

- I think this information is in the FAQ for this newsgroup, but since I
- can't find the article (expired, I guess), here goes ...
-
- You need:
-
- gcclib - library files
- gccinc - include files
- gccbin - executables
-
- It's also helpful to get the GNU utils (especially if the linker
- gcc-ld.ttp is not in gccbin!)
-
- Also, your environment should be set up some thing like the following:
-
- setenv GNUINC c:\usr\include
- setenv GXXINC c:\usr\include.g++
- setenv GNULIB c:\usr\lib
- setenv GCCEXEC c:\usr\lib\gcc-
-
- The GXXINC environment variable specifies the include files directory
- for GNU C++ (g++). GNUINC is for the C include files and GNULIB is
- for the library (.olb, crt0.o) files. GCCEXEC is the path and prefix
- of the compiler intermediate executables, such as gcc-cpp.ttp (C
- pre-processor), gcc-cc1.ttp (C compiler proper), etc.

- How do you do this (temporarily)? I have an old nearly-original 520 (with
- modulator, without floppy) that has a half-populated Tech Specialties
- piggyback board. I'd like to bring it up to 4MB, since chips are

- Well, since demos are often hacked directly to the hardware, this isn't
- exactly surprising. The STE does have more capable video hardware, which

- Some applications inevitably break with an upgrade to the OS. Either the

-
- The rags you mentioned are the standard examples give by all
- Atari Apologists (AA) (TM by Covert)!! And while they are all
- good mags, they are NOT glossy nationally distributed mags which
- show up in the big bookstores. they are rags which you have to
- hunt to find. SO, novice Atarians wouldn't even know about them.
-
- And someone who is just deciding which type of computer wouldn't even
- know about them at all.
-
- So, I don't count those as true mags. The are more hobbyist mags then
- real commerical mags. As yourself this: Do any of them PAY for articles?
- If the answer is NO (which I am certain is the case) they they are not
- commerical magfazines but would be better classified as FANZINES!!.
-
- Now, I just bought the Summer 1991 issue of ATARI EXPLORER which is
- sold in at least my local WALDENBOOKS bookstore. But since it is
- published by Atari Corporation don't look to see any controversial
- articles in it. A captive magazine (like AE) is controlled, and in this
- case the TRAMIEL TRIO would never allow anything negative to be published
- in it. That would be like buying a magazine published by General Motors,
- you have wonder how impartial it would be?
-
-
- and speaking of CURRENT NOTES, what did you think of Bill Yerger's
- Hiostory of the Atari ST? I thought that Bill really exposed Atari's
- inner workings for all to see!! Bill probably made a few enemies with
