Does anyone know where I can get a Monitor switch box that will work on
both a vga port and amiga RGB port?
Must have four ports or more to cope with several computers.

What about "Getting the most from your Internet software" setting up,

Matthew,
10/100Mbit/s ethernet.
----------------------
You need to find out what type of hub/switch you have.
Common network equipment is either 10Mbit/s or 100Mbit/s. Some, but not all
equipment has ports that are capable of working at 10 or 100.
100Mbit/s for Amiga.

Kato developments http://www.katodev.de/ were working on (the only?)
100Mbit/s card for Zorro, I don't know what the current status of this
project is.

Hi Ben,
I like the idea of a OS3.5 tutorial, but I would wait a while before
doing it, to allow the general community ( and me ;-) )to update to 3.5
status. I'm sure there has been enough printed already to keep the
current users going for a couple of months.
Would it be possible for a blitz2 tutorial? Or perhaps a games making
tutoral covering various techniques This could stem the flood of
breakout clones!
Also I distinctly remember CU promising that you would do a C4D
tutorial. Any chance of it now or just a general one in 3Ding.
Also is there a chance of a one-off expaning upon the 3D stuff in the C
tutorial that run last year? The books that were mentioned were =A340
each!!!
Also the sleeve is better than the case (my CD rack has drastically
overfilled), the binding makes no difference and please get rid of the
floppies so we can have more info in the AFCD in the mag.
Cheers
Andy.

Hello,
Yesterday I wondered what parts of JavaScript were slowing things down an=
awfull lot. Some of you offered me help and some of you told me it would=
be wise not to use JS in an all to advanced way. =
Today the problems seem to be solved and speed now is no issue anymore. A=
s a matter of fact instead of feeling down by the poor results delivered =
by the big 3 Amiga browsers I realy should have been happy. For some reas=
on both AWEB and V=B3 are so advanced at treating the code that they work=
around problems I had introduced by forgetting some important tags. Actu=
ally IBrowse2.1 was dead right in not showing a thing on the screen since=
that would be the only right thing to do. For those who want to know:
(in a nut-shell)
I tried to use JS to generate a vertical table containing `magic' buttons=
for navigating the site. So if you're trying to do that you'll need a co=
uple of <TR></TR> tags at any row you want to create. Well I had included=
the </TR> but forgot the opening tag. Silly me.
Also there were some messy things like not closing the links with a </A> =
tag. =
Today I've dumped the old code and started from 0. Now (local on my syste=
m) I've a JS-created menu which works and which does not slow down things=
=2E
So thanks to all you out there who offered me help at this. =
Also I feel like I have to plug IBrowse2.1 a bit. The reason is simple. I=
B2 provides some realy clear error-messages at wrong JS-code (unlike V=B3=
that's only screaming PARSING ERROR without telling what it is expecting=
) which does make coding a lot easier.

Hiya Guys,
Right my latest proggie AMPCS v2.0 is almost complete.. It is an update of
my current proggie AmPCSv1.7.
The AMPCS bit stands for AMiga Phone Code Search, and as the title suggests
it searches for dialling codes..
V2.0 is a major update (Complete re-write) from v1.7, and as such has a few
more features and optimisations..
The codes are also customisable, so none of this UK only crap.. I have codes
for UK and Austrailia.. and half the codes for US (Over 20thou atm..)
I'm looking for beta testers.. the current ver isn't finished, but I'd like
some feedback and ideas..
If you're interested email me, telling me so, and don't forget to tell me
which codes file you want UK, Aussie, or US!!
T'ra

Hi I know I'm prolly a little late replying here, and part way through the

Oki.. it looks to me like your filesystem cannot read multi-session CD's or

The data track is the last track on the CD (Afaik), so you need a filesystem
that reads these. afaik the latest CacheCDFS does, and so does AsimCDFS (I
believe).

Hi guys,
I'm using V3, latest version and what I'd like to do is make contact
with a credit card company that I've just signed onto.
The problem is that although I was able to register all my details on
this SSL site only, and recieved my credit card, now, when I try to
access the site, I get the response Insufficient encryption, this
document requires a larger key size for encryption than your browser
is capable of supporting. The site asks for 128k SSL. As far as I
know this is what V3 is capable of.
Any help on this would be greatley appreciated
Many thanks

MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi everyone,
After reading about streaming MP3 files off the internet I installed
'StreamMP3' and have it working (almost). Unfortunately the sound that
comes when playing these streams is a very broken.
My question is, how can I reconfigure the 'StreamMP3.rx' file so that it
uses a lower quality hence resulting is continuous sound? I tried
editing the file using 'ed' but then the file didn't work.
My system is A1200 '040 25Mhz. BTW, isn't 'Prayer2.0' great! Just wish
it was easier to register!
Regards,
Nick.

I know this thread has turned into a bizarre joke now, but I've just
heard the "definitive" answer on the radio so I'll put you out of
your misery.
Apparently Countdown started as a French programme, but the French
needed more time than us so they got a whole minute. When we nicked
the program, we probably nicked the clock.
Possibly </disclaimer>

Just in case you hadn't noticed, this is a mailing list with lots of poeple
on it where anyone can reply to any message and indeed is meant to, if
you're so stuck up that you dont want anyone else replying why dont you do
it through private mail, that way no-one can disturb you.
Ben I'm starting to get sick of this. I'm on this list because I like being
here and I like most of the poeple. I know that several people didn't like
the comment that I posted and I've apologised for it. But a select few had
decided to have a go at me in every way possible in every mail they post. I
dont want to leave the list because I have made lots of friends here &
enjoy helping everyone.

Hows about a more in- depth Blitz tutorial, or one for PureBasic?

I think the Amiga community as a whole needs more porgrammers- remember the
excellent hardware, but poor software thing?
If you don't like the idea of a porgramming tutorial, how about a "Get the
best out of OS3.5," or a beginner's guide to various seperate parts of the
internet.
ie wk1: Get connected
wk2: The Web
wk3: Email
wk4: IRC
wk5: Newsgroups
etc. I would probably use more than just Mail and Web/FTP if I knew what was
going on. A full tutorial would give a chance to explore the depths of
different parts of the net more closely, rather than the one- off "Get
connected" features we've had before.
Regards
Sandy

I think they have the original mags kept somewhere safe which is a
shame as I badly need Issues 1 and 2 to complete my set. I even have
the set of ST Amiga Format magazines. I must fill in a readers ad
coupon today! While I'm here. Can anyone help with these missing
issues. Thanks.

Oi! That's crap. And anyway, budget's spelt with a g not a j ;-)
Lovely job

Hello All,
I was taking a quick flick through http://www.reactorcritical.com when I saw
this
23 February - ATI-powered Amiga
Gateway is going to ressurect Amiga by releasing a system called Amiga
Multimedia Convergence Computer. The news product will be based on a CPU
from Transmeta and a 3D graphics chipset from ATI. Unfortunately, it's
unknown which one.
Well I had a little chuckle anyhow.
Bye,
Danny Shepherd
