Essentially: An Amiga sofware development > company. :) I suppose I could go under that name! :) "Enigma Systems" was originally established in 1988, when I wrote a rudimentary database program in C=64 Basic. In 1992, however, Enigma Systems fell into financial difficulty and a merger with AR Computers took place early 1993, the two companies forming "NetWorking UK". While each company keeps copyrights and intellectual property rights to all the individual things they do, any co-operative work is done under the name NetWorking. All true. AR Computers is my friend's company. :) -- Robert Johnston (A.C.P.)

I remeber how Amiga Power went. Very radidly; the pages just fell off the thing, and then one day it was gone. However AF has been diminishing very gradually. It's been years since AF was fat and healthy, in those happy days when we got free things, like books. We haven't had any free (2nd) CDs for over 2 years now. The number of pages is only diminishing very slowly (over a matter of years) and the price hasn't changed for ages.

Anyone seen the state of the Acorn User's Mag? They've been staples for a good while now, have no floppy edition any more, and only mount a cover CD every 2 months or so, because they "are afraid of exhausting the Risc-OS Public software archives."

That was what I first tried, but I got a weird "function argument expected" error with IBrowse highlighting the first of the -signs. However, as I tried again today, this time pasting a -sign from a PC-created page. it worked. It appears my -sign has a different ASCII (or something) value and the JS parser does not accept it.

MMULib is a bit slower, but much cleaner and more compatible with everything else.. if you have a BlizzardPPC though, I'm not sure if you can get rid of the 68040.library (does BPPCFix do that yet?) > Will I be able to remove CyberPatcher from my system?

However I have > found using IE 4.01 with FreePPP, and Mac OS 7.6.1 on the net to be > very reliable. I'd agree that it's not very fast though! :) Under SS IE4.01 with FreePPP was very unstable - usually crashing the mac within seconds of a connect. Netscape 2 didn't have JS support, so I found myself NC4.x which works fine... except I didn't have room on my harfile for both NC and IE, so I had to back up the hardfile and remove IE. I'm using MacOS 7.5.5 under SS btw. QT3 is a bit funny too, its control panel crashed the Mac upon invocation, and it has a habit of crashing when playing and/or converting some MIDI files to QT movies - but this is irrelevant, since its Fusion that isn't working ;) > If at all possible don't give up just yet. I already kind of have. Since I can't use the CGX driver, or the WB window driver, on account Fusion has the CGX driver hardcoded to look for V3 cgx library, and the patch for CGX v4 only works on the v3.1 fusion drivers, not the v3.2 I found or v3.3 supplied on the CD, and the wbw driver won't open a window... driver cannot initialise screen error (or similar), which leaves me with AGA modes only -> slow screen refresh in anything but 4 colours (I'm basing that on SS's screen refresh anyways since I don't know how well Fusion performs) So, unless a minor miracle is performed, I'll just stick to SS for now - at least I can get it to boot and run pretty well (and using CGX too!! =8*) Cya, Steven. ------------------------------ message 49918 ------------------------------ http://www.eGroups.com/list/afb/?start=49918 From: "Daniel Thornton" Date: 3 Mar 2000 18:42:24 +0000 In-Reply-To: <89omjo$un9g@eGroups.com> X-Mailing-List: afb@egroups.com Subject: [afb] Re: POLL: Flat rate internet access MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit On Fri, 03 Mar 2000 07:43:52 -0800, rosswhiteford@yahoo.com wibbled... > I thought C&W had been taken over by NTL?
