Ok... this is what should happen when you click stop in the above case: the progress bar window closes, and then a requester pops up saying "No matching files/directories found". From what you've said above, I presume it is hanging after the progress bar window closes, and the main window gets stuck with a busy pointer, right? Does AFCDFind also hang if you select "About" from the "Project" menu? I'm wondering if you have any programs installed that patch the standard intuition requesters? For example: MRQ, ReqAttack, ReqChange, RTPatch, ARQ, etc, etc. If so, try disabling the patch in question to see if that helps. -- *Oliver Roberts* - Norwich, UK - Software Developer & Web Designer /oliver.roberts@iname.com/ | /oliver@amigaf1.freeserve.co.uk/ http://www.nanunanu.org/~oliver/ - ICQ: 34640231 -- PlayStation Amiga mailing list ==> http://www.egroups.com/group/psxamiga/ ------------------------------ message 48996 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=48996 From: Matthew O'Neill Date: Fri, 25 Feb 2000 10:35:37 +0100 In-Reply-To: <002e01bf7f23$2e0ab5e0$5488bcd4@innit> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: Fillums (was: More A1200 Qs) MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On 25-Feb-00, Alex Furmanski wrote: >> HTTP://www.mashman.co.uk > It doesn't work - you've got your frameset tag in your body tag.

Ohhh, new revelation. port 4 of the 100mbit hub can be connected to a 10mbit one without slowing the rest of the 100mbit hub down, so all I need is a dirt cheap 10bit hub/switch and a card to go with it.

I have a 4.3Gb drive (4Gb actual space due to hard errors at the 'front' of the drive), and I have only about 650Mb on it.

I managed to get a legal copy of Photoshop 4 for the Mac for 50 plus VAT, as a bundle with a scanner. The latest versions are about 4-500 though, so shop around a bit.

I think the program you are after is IRA v1.03. Its a nifty little disassembler that creates code you can reassemble immediately. However, unless you are a genius with asm, you won't be doing much with its output.

I bought Fusion and PCx together for 50 a while ago. I think this bug fix update should be available for free to people like me. Maybe AF readers should have to pay, but not people who have already paid! > Isn't it great to buy software which actually uses the hardware you > have > bought! :)) Yes, which is why I bought Fusion, and which is why I've pre-ordered and PAID 120 already for Fusion PPC! Personally I think I should get this 68k upgrade for free! Who do they think they are?? No way am I going to pay for a Fusion 68k upgrade, even if it is only 8 + VAT + postage, because I'm waiting for the PPC module which is currently running VERY late. If they turn around and say I can't have the 68k upgrade for free but need it to run the PPC module, then I will be VERY, VERY angry ...

Hi, While strictly not a paint program, Corel Xara 2 is a good structured drawing package which allows you to import bitmaps and perform image processing functions (including Photoshop plugins) on them. Output quality is particularly good and can be optimised for the web, and it's fast even on a modest PC setup. There's a free 15 day trial on the web (a 7M download) and the full package weighs in at around 70. http://www.xara.com Paint Shop Pro is a cheap image processing proggy. Again you can use Photoshop plugins and it does use layers. I would describe it as workmanlike as opposed to freeing creative potential though. http://www.jasc.com - Chris ------------------------------ message 49047 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=49047 Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 12:20:04 +0100 From: Tudor Davies References: In-Reply-To: X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: Bargain bucket MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=iso-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit On Sat, Feb 26, 2000 at 09:55:22AM +0000, Kevin Fairhurst wrote: > that's right, for 10 I also acquired an A1200 m/b with 3.1 ROMs and an IDE > adaptor!

Stefan Stuntz does not demand that you register. If you are happy to use MUI in its limited form, then you are free to do so. As for how much programmers need MUI: the thought of making anything even half as complex as a web browser without it sends shivers down my spine. Besides, MUI follows in the Amiga spirit of efficiency. Using gadtools, every program needs a big chunk of code to build and font sensitize the GUI, but MUI centralizes this into one neat GUI engine. -- Best regards, Daniel Pimley :-) http://www.dream.u-net.com mailto:dan@dream.u-net.com ------------------------------ message 49058 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=49058 Date: 26 Feb 2000 14:27:25 +0000 From: "Neil Bothwick" In-Reply-To: <898kdt$pg7l@eGroups.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: New Amiga website MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Stephen Thwaites said, > I've just been reading in Amigactive...[snip] Wrong list :-/ Neil -- Neil Bothwick - Connected via Wirenet The UK's first Amiga-only internet access provider http://www.wire.net.uk -- Genius is 99% inspiration and 2% arithmetic ------------------------------ message 49059 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=49059 Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 12:46:24 +0000 From: "Jonathan M.

My A1200 is a 1B and I can't remember anyone commenting on the reliability of this board. I am looking to add a network card and an 040 card soon. Does anyone have any experience of this revision? Any help would be appreciated.

You're in luck, the 1B (same as mine) is one of the `stable' versions. You may find though, that you will still have to the PCMCIA mod - I /think/ this effects most revisions... -- The Amiga Resource - http://www.amigaresource.org South West Amiga Group - http://www.swag.org.uk afb-ot's official webshite - http://www.afb-ot.co.uk -- Grab them by the balls; their hearts and minds will follow. ------------------------------ message 49067 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=49067 From: "Chris Green" Date: Sat, 26 Feb 2000 16:40:58 -0000 X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Egroups web site down?

Yes thats right i am going to try and obtain full versions of shareware without paying the licence. But i thourght i would try here as a last resourt. The people/products i am about to rip off are FileX (Klaas Hermanns) and GadToolsBox3 (Tomasz Muszynski), both products i need to program effectivly, and both programs that are now dead. I have tried web sites, mail addresses, searches of google and (prev AWD), i can only presume that both these people have given up on the amiga and not looked back, so the chances of me registering these products are about zero. If anyone has uptodate mail address please post them, ((or)).. if someone is willing to mail me the reg'd versions mail be personaly. regards, -- amimjf@connectfree.co.uk http:bounce.to/matts Matthew.Fletcher@student.shu.ac.uk ICQ amimjf 44193496 -- Kinesthetics.............

The point I was making though is that Photoshop is one of the best art packages available on any system. Anything from version 3 onwards are pretty decent, personally I prefer the interface on version 3 to that of 4 or 5. And, as I said, I managed to geta full version Pshop 4 for about 60. I should imagine that if you were to shop around for a PC version it should come in at something similar. The original poster said that he had a budget up to 200. For professional work, Photoshop is well worth the extra. Is Foundation DC good then, mostly I bin playing GT 2 on my Censored. And some Speccy emulated games on my Miggy. Oh and a demo of Quake 3 on my Mac.
