Hi Ben,
->Expansion drawer - it's empty anyway.
Gone!
->disclaimer.iff from s:. Let's move it to -ReaderStuff-, on the grounds
->that it's stuff for readers (and it will help us keep down our
->non-content byte count!)
Moved it to +S+/Info. If I put it into readerstuff I might delete it by
accident.
->Get rid of the icons for the indices, and the icon for the index drawer
->itself. This will help that drawer look a bit neater and also avoid the
->huge delay in opening the indices drawer if you do it by accident. I'll
->explain the change (and go into more detail on the AFCDFind and
->AFCDView/Prefs programs in the magazine - again). Anyone really wanting
->the icons can just move the lot to their hard drive and have'em taking
->up space there instead ;)
Done!

MIME-Version: 1.0

Hi phil,
OK got your ZIP and have made the following changes:
1. Edited your -SA/Commercial/F1/ +RunMe_First+ file to include an
assign to your libs directory and it seems to do the job just fine
now!
2. The stuff that you included in the -PD_Select- directory will be
found in AFCD27:-ScreenPlay-/OtherStuff/F1Software/
(the PD Select dir on the AFCD is really intended for MegaDemos
and not game demos)
everything else is as you want it!

Hi Phil,
->I noticed that our catalogue fails to load on issue 109 and wondered
->what the problem might be, any advise would be useful. Maybe the .exe as
->been corrupted or a major change in the structure of the CD-ROM?
I've just had a look and it seems as though the problem seems to be in
your assign script. Your catalogue requires the CRM.library and your
script doesn't include a line such as:
assign libs: AFCD25:-Seriously_Amiga-/Commercial/F1Software ADD
which should add your libs directory (and the CRM.library) to the users
standard libs: dir.
->The one which I am sending works from the zip cartridge with no
->problems, can you give it a quick test for me when it's on the master
->before burning, go on be a sport :)
I'll see what i can do.
regards,
Errol

Hi Guys,
If you would like to have your website included (or updated) on Amiga
Format magazine's CD #27, (issue 111, June 1998), could you please
upload your archived website site to:
ftp2.futurenet.co.uk/pub/incoming
The ABSOLUTE deadline is *Wednesday 8th April* but, we would appreciate
it if you could upload your site sooner. Any websites arriving after
the deadline will not be updated. Please prefix your archive with "AF_"
for example: AF_MyWWWSite.lha.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Please note:
1. Websites that haven't been updated for 2 months will be removed
from the Amiga Format CD!
2. We make every possible effort to include your website on the Amiga
Format CD-ROM. However, due to space restrictions, we are sometimes
forced to make space for alternative data. For this reason we are
unable to offer any guarantees that your website will be included.
---------------------------------------------------------------------
If your company has any demo programs (utilities or games) that you would
also like to have included on the CD, please email me as soon as possible
with details and approximate byte sizes.
best regards,
Errol

Subject: Kid's stuff
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain
Hi there,
I'm downloading a fair amount of kid's stuff from Aminet (educational
games, puzzles, paint pakages etc) I thought that they would be a nice
(not to mention different) edition to the AFCD. Having said that, they
should prove to be really challenging to most of our thick readers :-)
... but where do I put them?
They wouldn't really look right in SA/SW/Misc. What about making a dir
in ITM called KidsStuff? or maybe we could put them in reader requests
as though one of our more intelligent readers requested them?
let me know...

I'm not going to have the time to pratt about waiting for stuff and

to have your website included on the Amiga Format magazijne cover CD-ROM.
If this is something that would interest you please ftp your complete
website to the future server at
ftp2.futurenet.co.uk/pub/incoming
Please prefix your archive with "AF_" for example: AF_MyWWWSite.lha
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
best regards,
Errol

Hi there,
Just got the AmigaNutta stuff you uploaded to the AF server and am a
little puzzled. There are two archives both containing images and no HTML.
What's going on?

Hi Simon,
->ACT have OK'd our use of the samples on the disks I've sent you.
->So everything there can go on. Did I ever send you the PD
->Spectrum snapshots? If not, I shall next time (in reply to the letter
->asking for some in a recent AF). No joy in finding *legal* C64
->ones, though...
Disks haven't arrived (as of 1st post Wed). Spectrum snapshots: don't
think so!
Errol
Af cheque should be arriving soon!!!!!!!!????????

Hi Patrick,
->I have already finished the archive. I just have to test it and then I'll
->upload it. Unfortunately there seems to be problems with international
->Internet connections at the moment: transfer to Germany is incredibly slow.
->Therefore I'll start transfer "AF_MakeCD_homepage.tar.gz" to you
->immediately.
Just spoken with ben and it's arriving as I write.
->I don't think that I have to change anything in this archive, so if you
->don't get another one, then please use this. Thanks a lot for your
->understanding and your time!
OK, and you are more than welcome.
->;-) Nor for me, BTW: I have spent too much time with MakeCD V3.1b already,
->I should better use the weekend to prepare for my M.Sc. exams ;-)
M.Sc eh! so... you are an intelligent person then? What are you
doing speaking to a mere CD-ROM compiler like me then? ;-)

Hi Patrick,
->That would be fine. I'm sure your customers will appreciate
->it that they really get the most recent software. I'll
->upload it as soon as possible and send you a mail. I hope
->this will be today.
I've just spoken to Ben Vost and if you want to have your
new website included on the next AFCD you will have to send
it to the server BEFORE 5pm today (9.4)
The reason being that all the stuff uploaded to Future's
incoming server is then moved, by Ben, to a private directory,
where I get it from. This weekend is a bank holiday and after
today Ben isn't back until Tuesday next week whick will be
too late because I need to finish the AFCD this weekend
(no holidays here)
regards,
Errol

Hi Patrick,
->That's what I feared :-/ Angela just told me that she is not
->sure if she can finish a distribution archive until tomorrow
->and that we might have to wait until Monday for release, so
->I'd better not ask you for an extension.
It's not a matter of you asking for an extension, I still have a
few days left and if you really want to get your new site included,
I guess it could be arranged. It's really a matter of time, I've
still got heaps of work to to do on the CD and in the middle of it
all I still have to sort the problems out with Asimware
->Well, what about a comparison of MakeCD V3.x and MI2 in
->Amiga Format then? ;-) However, I'm sure MI2 will work with
->the Traxdata as soon as Asim knows the drive ID - MakeCD
->simply doesn't require that.
That's really down to editorial, why not email Ben or Nick?
->What about using MakeCD instead? AF had paid once for a full
->licence to master their CDs, and someone should still have
->the registration number. Part of the deal was a free
->subscription of AF, and this stopped months ago - either
->someone forgot the reason for it (and perhaps the
->registration number, too) and didn't extend it or remembered
->the reason and decided the we don't deserve it anymore ;-)
i've been doing the AFCD's for the last 17 issues and I haven't
heard about this. We have been using MasterISO for years and
I guess that we've become used to it (although it doesn't work
at the moment ;-( )
I'll have a word with Ben but I don't hold much hope in getting
the reg number as things are preety choatic (read unorganised)
in the AF offices.
->Anyway, if you want to have this registration number and
->cannot get it from whoever is in charge now at AF, then I
->guess it is okay if I give it to you once more. However,
->it's for AFCDs only!
Sure, that would be great! I'll give MakeCD a good looking over, once
this AF CD is out of the way, when I've got some spare time.
best regards,
Errol

Hi Patrick,
->it's still the one from one month ago.
That's the one we already have on the CD.
->We will do that tomorrow or on Friday. Is it still possible
->to get the page onto CD #27 or should I not bother about it
->at all?
Better leave it until next month then, I'm getting low on space at the
moment and VERY short on time. Hope that's Ok with you!?
Interesting point for you:
I've wasted most of the day today trying to get our new Traxdata
4260 PRO to work with MasterISO2. MI2 simply refuses to "open" the drive,
basically rendering MI2/drive useless!
As a test, we installed the makeCD3.1 demo from the AFCD and guess what...
it worked fine. We even created a CD from an existing iso image using
your demo.
If we can't get the MI2 problem resolved tomorrow, I'm going to have to
re-install our old Yamaha CDR102 and write the next AFCD at 2x :-(
bestv regards,
Errol

Hi Simon,
Hi Simon,
->As regards the SCSI (I assume) startup problem, it's because
->you have added a device to the SCSI bus and the total scan
->time exceeds the patience of the Kickstart initialisation. It is OK
->later because part of that time is spin-up time for one of the
->HDs, and that's a lot shorter (minimal) once it's spinning at the
->right speed. I assume you're using KS 3.1 already - if not,
->upgrade and the problem should go away as it allows more
->startup time.
Although I have added the new writer, I haven't really added a
new device because it's replacing the old writer at ID4. the
machine was a real pain to bootup this morning. First it didn't
want to know, then it booted but the keyboard wouldn't work
(at the same time the DAT drive was displaying a circuitry
error led), then after many cold/warm resets it fired up and
everything was working....!!!???
->You can stop the CD ROM holding things up during boot time
->(assuming you NEVER want to boot from it!) by setting it to a
->relatively high ID (a good idea anyway, 6 is often best) and
->then setting the LAST_ID flag in your boot partition (on a low
->number ID, e.g. 0...) to something lower than that, but high
->enough to ensure that all bootable devices are scanned. You
->need RDB_PREP software to do this; the exact choice depends
->on your interface but Aminet has various options, and GVP and
->Phase 5 software already has a relevant option. I hope this helps.
Not sure that the SCSI ID settings are the problem. Currently
the following are set:
0 is the boot HD
1 is a data HD
2 is blank
3 is the DAT
4 is the new writer
5 is a 20x plextor
Everything worked fine until the old yammie writer was replaced
with the new yammie, so it *must* be something to do with the
new writer (mustn't it?) I set the parity jumper on the new drive
to off (as it was on the old drive)

Errol

Hi Patrick,
->Yes, and it went on arriving for an hour without even
->getting near the 50% :-(
So, what's actually on the server then? and do I need to download it?
->I really hope you keep saying that after getting my "mail

Yeah! the 2mb mail bomb hit me in the face first thing this morning but
I skipped it and will download it later today. The currnet makeCD website
on the AFCD is 10+mbs and your email is only 2mbs... what's inside it?
->You are talking as if I had passed already... ;-)
The fact that your are even studying for it suggests that you at least
have half a brain so you are already well up on me! ;-)
I received the re-compiled MasterISO2.1 last night and it seems to work
great with the Traxdat-Yamaha 4260 now. I haven't had the chance to
perform exhaustive testing yet but what I have done worked fine.
Have a good easter
