I think you have to have a file in your ENVARC:ppc drawer called
"nopatch" with the number 1
in it.  So to do this just make a drawer called "powerpc" you "should"
have it.
and make a file, using ed, with the number 1 in it, call it "nopatch"
and you should be ok when you next boot.

There are plenty of reasons to criticise every software house; every program
ever written (with the obvious exception of "Hello World" and the like) has
bugs and flaws and MS's software is particularly easy to criticise (apart
from Win2000 :)...mainly because the flaws are in a piece of sofware that's
used by a billion (random large number) people.  If the Amiga had been half
as successful, there'd be a much larger proportion of it's users criticising
it - as it stands, the users who are left are the ones who use it by choice,
so naturally there's fewer criticisms of it.

Whether it's constructive or derogatory (and by that I'm assuming you're
talking about constructive criticism as opposed to criticising merely
because you can), it shouldn't be on here unless it's related to the Amiga.

I used Timedemo demo2 for the tests. I already stated the spec in a

No, I don't think so. I for one installed PFS2, checked my buffers (for
I knew about that Problem :) and forgot about it, and I think that's the
case for most PFS users. Of course they do not all post "Hey PFS2 works
on my system!", so you might get the impression everyone talking about
PFS has had bad experiences with it.

OK, I know that small buffers can ruin your HD Block ID (whatever that
is), but PFS3 now checks it and throws up a warning (this should really
have been a part of PFS2)

I guess you have been lucky then, but a crash during a write access
under FFS can seriously screw your data, so bad that even DiskValidator
won't help anymore, and DiskSalv is not an option for some of my
partitions (>4GB)

If AmigaDOS 1.3 is so good, how come they released AmigaOS 3.5?

or even:

I would be very interested what advantages you would get from PFS apart
from security? Sure, there is the speed increase, but the only fields
where it is really noticable is directory access (YAM) and seeking (e.g.
playing an AVI/QT movie)

Well, for example early versions of V3 (EARLY versions, I want to make
that clear!), Photogenics4, beta versions of PhotoFolio2, ramlib
problems (stupid, I know, but solved)...

But I've never had PFS2 crash my machine.

Oooooooohhhhhh.......

Just a small point though, its their fault it didn't sell very well:

1) DPaint still had some features miles ahead of it, and that is years old
2) I seem to have several free versions on my HD anyway
3) Everyone already has DPaint which does virtually the same thing just
aswell anyway
4) No 24-bit

Basically, it never offered anything marginally better than that which was
given away with amigas anyway, you can heardly blame anyone for not buying
it.

Wasn't, apparently, but am now. (V2.95beta)

Unfortunately, it still ain't working properly.  It connects & works to start
with, but after a few minuets, it grinds to a halt and any request for new pages
etc, are ignored.

If it isn't a rev 1b problem, then I'm at a loss.  Anyone else have any ideas?

If you got the bundled Punchinello + mouse deal then I can.  Very simple,
the lead on the mouse isn't of the greatest quality...and with the length
of the adaptor and everything, does it push up against a wall or something?
 If it does, try pulling your miggy out form the wall a bit.  When the
lead/PS2 connector on mine gets pushed right up against the wall (and now
I'm guessing) some of the wires seem to get crossed and it does bizaire and
wonderful things with the mouse pointer.--

Seriously, the ones they sell (25 pin RGB + audio -> scart) should work in

You can use NetConnect, no problem.  The problem is signing up - I've

without Javascript enabled.  All produced differing results, but to cut

I don't fancy returning to Enterprise - they were my first ISP, and
I left them for Freeserve, after loads of problems.  Funny thing is
that I still have access to my webspace there, even though I closed
my account over a year ago :)  I've been very impressed with
Freeserve - IMHO, they're service is much better (less problems).
Having said that, I've been having connectivity problems with Freeserve
(line drops, etc) over the last few weeks, so I've got nothing to lose
with going back to BT (Enterprise use the same BTNet backbone), just to
see if they've improved at all :)

Thanks, I'll give this a try sometime soon.

Hmm. It always happens. Have you noticed how far up the keyboard the keys
actually are? That can't be comfortable, and how exactly are you supposed
to put expansion cards in there?

Oh, you don't...

Sorry, could you repeat that...

Don't have one, and I could do without *another* cable.

Warpquake doesn't have this option, and I can't get other ppc quakes to work
on the miggy just now. I'll try when I have more spare time :-/

Here's an electronic bucket of water. Oh, it's just flowed straight through
the keyboard, starting another fire. Damn. :-)

If you're thinking of "Tintin on the Moon" by Infogrames then I'm proud to
announce that it's in my collection of old, barely-played games.  :)

It's a platform level followed by a steer-the-ship-to-avoid-the-asteroids
level (and so on, about eight times each) until you reach the moon. The
graphics weren't bad, but that's about it. Hmm... never did reach the moon.

If you mean a WAD editor then yes, there is a version of DEU (Doom Editing
Utilities) for the Amiga. A search of Aminet or AFCDs will produce it.

Failing that, if you can run Shapeshifter or Fusion, there's a Mac version
of DEU or, better yet, Hellmaker (I've long since lost the URLs so you'll
need to search the web).

Hope that helps,
Jonny.

This week I ar bin mostly playin' Foundation DC.

Hi

I aquired a modem for my Psion series 5 and was struggling to set it
up.

The manual was as useful as an ashtray on a motorbike, so I sent Psion
an email that was, in hindsight, a little curt (Heck, it could have
been written by Neil Bothwick himself ;)

In the meantime I sorted it out, but the guys at Psion were more than
a match for me. I've just had to download a 2mb PDF file, over my
standard A1200 serial port :(

Bah.

The term "Multimedia" was introduced by Apple at the end of the
eighties, it was part of a campaign. But the things they were showing
have been done by Commodore's A2000 (and a bit later the A3000) earlier
and better... only they called it "Desktop Video (DTV)"

Mind you, those were the eighties.

I have followed the Amiga news stories for over a decade and just feel
that I have seen/heard it all before. If most people wanted to know
what is going on at Amiga then magazine sales would not keep dropping,
perhaps a lot of people are fed up of listening to promises and would
like articles full of practical electronics projects and advice.


Cheers

Save your work as GIF or JPG format, it's quite easy to get the Amiga to
read these. If you use PPaint, you can also try PNG files.
Forget IFF-ILBM's, the lack of decent compression means that any
decently sized image will take up a huge amount of space on disc.

Oh god I hope not.  I don't think we want to be blamed for that as
well do we ?

Anyway as it was pointed out to me in a lecture a couple of years ago
it isn't even correct, it should be multi-medium.  Media is a plural
and why would you have multiple plurals ?

I don`t think anything will change and I have no interest is saying I
told you so. I see Amiga a bit like the Rover car company, the old
Rovers and Wolseys were really something (I know I owned a six cylinder
beauty.) However, after various ownerships and re-packaging I don`t see
any new Rover being anything to get excited about and I would be very
wary about spares availability pending the next take over. If I still
owned a classic car I would want my classic car magazine to concentrate
on my model, not the promised new range.

Yeah,I've set the env variables 'PowerPC/nopatch - 1' and 'PowerPC/termin=

Ohhhhh pretty, but Matt what would you sit on ? ;)

Carl.

For anybody who is interested.

BT have, as from today, reduced the monthly subscription to 9.99 and
have activated the free access line each evening from 6.00pm as well as
weekends.

I haven`t tried to log on with an Amiga but the help line did tell me
(some time ago,) that although they don`t officially support Amiga
there are some Amiga news groups on BT and it is possible to configure
a 1200 to log on.

Neil Bothwick has since pointed out a number of complaints directed at
uk2.net. The one Matt Sealey recommends looks pretty good though
http://www.gradwell.com slightly more expensive but you get what you pay for
I guess. Personally I use dreamhost http://www.dreamhost.com not especially
cheap, but they do the job properly, which is what you want for your money.

As for the redirect thing, dunno, you'd have to try it and see if FNN throw
you off :)

See ya later,
