Not yet... maybe soon :) Perhaps not 15 pages either... I was just curious

Actually, I work in weird ways. I go all the way, program something nearly so
it's finished, and then scrap it and start again, for two reasons. First, so I
can test if I can actually program what I want to program, and second to get
an idea of the features I need to include in the final version, since I tend
to come up with ideas as you're programming the first attempt, which I can
then fully implement in the final attempt.

Hey, me too. Last time I looked, I was only slightly ahead of someone (can't

Yes, I was thinking along the same lines. How can anyone except complete
novices who have only just bought their first Amiga NOT know the answer to
that question. And although it's a great prize, which I would love to get, I
probably won't, and indeed never have, entered any competitions simply because
I'm too lazy to leave my computer room to go and get a stamp, and I end up not
being able to afford one either (I'm only 17 y'know, and I can't be arsed with
a job and college :)

Can you enter these compos by Email? At one point I even wrote out postcards
for the christmas compos a while ago, but never sent them because of a lack of
stamps.

Hmmm... slightly long statement... I'll shut up now...

Tried that already. Nothing of any use. [also to Neil here] There is
nothing in DEVS:Dosdrivers etc either and I thought about creating a

Actually, the Archimedes' and Atari's still use DD floppies, though Acorn
User appear to have stopped producing a floppy version of the mag. (Mind
you, having merged with the only other Archie mag. in existence, they
probably need the extra space to fit things on...) The only ST mag. in
existence (AFAIK) can still be supplied (mail-order only) with floppy (you
can subscribe to get just the mag.). They tried producing CDs at irregular
intervals with all the floppy stuff on, but apparently had no end of
problems with the company who were supposed to be doing the CDs, so they
ended up saying 'stuff it' and offering people their money back

(Thankfully it didn't affect me - I've yet to get an HD in any of my STs,
let alone CD!)
Also, some PC mags still have floppy versions, though this isn't very common
these days. And, Win95/98 can't be installed on some machines without at
least a startup floppy disk, to tell the computer that there is a CD drive
there!
So, while it is on the way out, I feel it could be a while before we see the
end of floppies completely...

Right, I've re-installed DOpus completely, each time checking the WBR
options. I've checked the DOpus display settings as you said above, and yet
every time I select a program (the listers work fine) the title bar changes
to 'Workbench Screen'. In desperation I am attaching a SnoopDos log in the

No you don't. Go to the 'Groups' menu option, select 'Create new
newsgroup'. Where it says 'group name' or similar, type in (for example)
u-net.announce.

'OK' it, and then click on the group in the list window, select 'Group' in
the menu and click on 'Subscribe to group'.

And that's it. I know it sounds a lot, but it only takes a few seconds, and
it's far better than waiting for MUI to sort out that listview :(

The shops are being thinned out. Every time someone sends in a new shop two of

Hmm, what should it say then? I'm intrigued. The reason it's called Start_Here
right now is that when you put a Future CD in the drive you're supposed to be
forced to look at the disclaimer. We can't do that as we don't have an autorun
feature for CDs, so the disclaimer is the first bit of HTML you come across -
and thus we want people to load it first.

   You are trying to get Netconnect to open on it's own screen?  But you
don't have a MUI keyfile, you can't save your MUI settings, or does MUI
unregistered let you save the screen in the settings?

If you have a reasonably up-to-date PC, why not simply set your BIOS to boot
from CD?

No, don't need it, I know understand what you're talking about and it's
perfectly natural, don't worry. Of course it changes to Workbench screen.
Screens don't have coloured title bars like windows do so you need some way of
determining that they aren't active. If you were still running Workbench and
you ran another program on the same screen then your Workbench screen's title
bar would also say "Workbench Screen". If you're worried about people not
believing you're running DOpus you have two choices: 1. Make sure that DOpus is
active by clicking on the background of the screen, 2. Have a lister open, or
the icon info window or something that Workbench doesn't have in the same way.

I am seriously pissed off.  'Yay, lets see what's been said on afb while I've
been gone' thought I this morrow.
Tum-te-tum .... boot up PC .... load OE .... click "Send and Receive" ....
'Receiving messages 1 to 25' came the response.
'Message 13 cannot be received.  Your server has not responded for 60 seconds.'
ARRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHH!  Not a-bloddy-gain!

Oh well, another call to Virgin's tech people, change my afb subscription in the
meantime.  But no, egroups seems to be broken so I can't change my email
address.  Bloody marvelous.

I am fed up of this happening (this must be the 3rd time) so I was wondering -
how can I access my POP mailbox and get rid of the bastard mail 13 (unlucky for
me).

Sorry if this offended someone, but I'm not in a good mood. No jokes about 'my
time of the month' please.

If you've got any ideas the mail me direct at *this address*:
captain.kumquat@virgin.net

Thanks in advance

By the sound of it you got the IDE cable connected back to front!  The

Red wire to pin 1: on the IDE port and the HD Connector.
If there isn't a red wire (And there should be)  You will have 4 wires not
connected to the 44 pin header.  these are the power pins and they are
always on the port side of the motherboard.  Hopefully this will help people
not to make the same mistake again.

You're in a minority then. I find it has plenty of variety. It might not be
as popular as the other networks, so it may not be as busy, but it certainly
doesn't get boring much.

Only one person can use one nick at once on ANY network. The whole concept
of having to register your nickname just seems pointless to me though. I'm
Agima, and don't have a problem with someone else using it, as long as I'm
not there when they do, of course >;)

The WB delete command doesn't use C:Delete (it does the deletion by
calling a function available in dos.library - i.e. ROM resident).

Sounds like a bizarre problem...  Are you sure you haven't installed
anything that patches requesters and the like?  As using WB delete brings
up a confirmation requester, I'm guessing that it's crashing before (or at)
that point?

You could always put the disclaimer in a huge icon in the main AFCD

First of all if you do order one don't expect next day delivery. Mine has
been on order since 3/4/99 and Phase5 are having trouble with their big
testing machine. I've been told "any day now" for about a month.

I've used an Infinitv II tower and must say they are very nice to look at
but maybe a little skimpy on storage space and adding/removing accelerator
boards requires removing the entire motherboard.

The PPC/BVision combo has a very good reputation and certainly seems to be
the least expensive and fastest (in power terms) way of adding a graphics
card to your Amiga. Plus you get a nice new CPU to boot (two even!)

Or perhaps you had too many devices attached to your line until you removed

Each device has a REN number, the total for the line should not exceed 4.

I personally think the floppy as we know it has served it's purpose. It's
time to move onto LS120 the new FUJI drives etc. If they only had the
ability to read old Amiga disks aswell as MSDOS 1.44/720k the change would
be so much easier.

I think that the DD version should be dropped ASAP too. Most people have
CD Drives or at least access to one. (I have one to sell, mail me off-list).

First Computer Centre (FCC) are offering nearly everything at between 1 and 5
pounds. Note that on some things, they don't appear to have many copies of it.
Although they probably store some somewhere, I couldn't see where, since
they've cut half of their building off to use as office space... just thought

It works fine with ARQ.  Try installing PowerWB - all you need to do then is
select some files and press the delete key.  If it doesn't crash then, it looks
like it might be a problem with the menus (?)

Alternatively go for something like Globaltrash so you just drag the files to
the rubbish bin (NOTE: refrain from saying Trashcan or Recycle Bin)

Couldn't they have come up with a better name than "Allegro CDFS"?  It always
makes me think of the Austin Allegro (shudders).  Now, if they'd have called it
"Maxi CDFS" or "Viva CDFS"...

Will DVD-RAM's be RAM in the true sense of the phrase "Random Access", or will
they be more like CD-R's and CD-RW's?  I think the phrase DVD-(RAM|ROM) sucks
anyway.

Not being pedantic, but it always makes me smile when people say "PIN number",
when the N stands for number anyway.  Much like the N in REN.

DVD-ROM is readable, DVD-RAM is writable - such as the

If you've only just installed the BVision, then here are several
things that get nearly everyone:

1.You NEED to supply extra power to the motherboard via the floppy
power connector.  The BV manual says how to do this, just ensure you
get the connector the right way or your motherboard will DIE.  Only a
very few users have avoided needing this 'hack'.

2.Remove *all* AGA patches.  In fact, remove all patches just to be
sure - maybe even all additional programs (User-Startup & WbStartUp).

3.Ensure you have the latest 68040 libraries - quite essential.

4.Ventillation inside the tower may be necessary - ensure best air
flow by tying all cables together.  Maybe even add an extra fan
somewhere if you have real stability problems - or just try keeping
the tower casing off...

5.I think I found that my PSU was causing stability problems for
speedy BVisions displays.  May not apply to anyone else though.

6.Talk to your dealer!  They will have got 100s of users with BVision
problems, so that they will be able to make many suggestions.

I hope you bought from White Knight as they are amazingly good.

Good luck!

Sounds good but......

I sent SASG my credit card no. about 3 months ago. I had one
communication to say my registration of MUI was being processed but
since then they have failed to answer my (many) emails! I've given up
at this point. Unfortunately it's not the first time I've been messed
around with shareware.

But thankfully, other authors are more on the ball. :-)

Personaly I just think it's one of those thing that sometimes happen - I sent
away the same as you and got mine after three days...

Any channels other than Amiga ones there then? I certainly couldn't find

And what would happen if you were there? That's the benefit of registering
your nick.
