Somebody please help! I'm trying to get uupc going on my amiga. When I try to compile the ulib module, the compiler complains that <sgtty.h> doesn't exist in the include directory. Is <sgtty.h> a new file that comes with Aztec C 3.4??? Or is my distribution disk brain damaged? I know, I'm probably the last person on Earth who still uses 3.20a, so I'm lazy, so I haven't upgraded yet. But, I'd still like to get uupc running next week. (I have a system that's willing to feed me mail.) Would some kind soul out there please E-mail me a copy of <sgtty.h> Use the address listed in my .signature, the address in the header may be cruft.

Um... wouldn't that be illegal? You are asking someone to copy commerical software and send it to you. Yes, I'm assuming you are a a registered owner of 3.20a; I also believe (personally) that your request is legitimate, since the 3.40 update is free. But technically, I don't believe this is legal. --- Dan Barrett ins_adjb@jhunix.UUCP barrett@hopkins-eecs-bravo.arpa

Hello fellow amigamaniacs,
I have been given a bitpad (i.e. digitizing tablet) and I have
written a program which reads bitpad data from the amiga serial
device and converts the data to raw mouse events and inserts the
mouse data into the input.device input stream. I multitask this
program by 'run'ning it from a CLI. It works, but something is
not right.
I can use the bitpad to operate workbench, but when I try to
start Dpaint it barfs intensely. The cursor slows way down for a
while, then it speeds up and starts zipping all over the screen.
Nice art, but not what I had in mind. If I try using the mouse
after using the bit pad, the cursor keeps going crazy for a few
moments, then starts working normally.
I don't know where to find the problem. I've tried twiddling
the task priorities, but it doesn't make any difference. Is DoIO()
too slow? Is Dpaint doing some busy waits? Is my whole approach
intrinsically stupid? Whazahuh?
Any ideas? (At all?)
Thanks,
Don White

Well version I of deluxe paint sometimes sent diagnostic messages to the serial port.

After you solve this problem, will you be willing to post the driver? Would the source be at all useful as a starting point for Koala Pad driver? Has anyone already written a Koala Pad driver? Seems like a natural considering all of the C64 owners who have one... Harry Muttart

Dpaint *is* doing busy waits while drawing. Your program probably needs to SetTaskPri() itself to 19 or 20. The input.device itself runs at 20. (too low, really. Those system tasks should jump into the hundreds) DoIo() is not too slow, but remember, *always* do a query of the serial device to see how many bytes are available to read before you do the read. |\ /| .

I had the same problem with a program for a Kurta Penmouse+ that used
the same technique. Adding "SetTaskPri(FindTask(0L), 20L);" cleared
it right up.
I am including the program, which should convert easily to the bitpad
by adjusting the Parse and send_event functions. The program compiles
with Manx C.

Hi,
a couple of weeks ago I got an Escort 2 chassis/mem expansion
for my A1000. I added 1meg of 41256s. It worked fine first time.
It doesn't now. As of yesterday it does this:
1 Turn on amiga
2 flash, flash... ask for Kickstart
3 Put in Kickstart
4 Whirl, whirl, whirl.. pause..
5 power light flashes slowly a few
times
6 Power light flashes quickly.
7 Screen flashes colors.
8 goto 5
The Amiga is fine with the expansion disconnected. What's the deal?
Please respond email (rogoff@itsgw.rpi.edu).

OK, I am having several small problems. First of all, I have two programs. A program A and a program B. It appears that if program A has the serial.device allocated in an exclusive manner, and program B tries to open it once, in either exclusive or shared mode, program B is locked out and errored. If program B tries to open it TWICE, it opens! I can't figure this out, and for all I know, it may just be something stupid I'm doing. I want an interrupt to render graphics into a RastPort inside a window. I need to know when the layer is locked, so I won't draw into it and cause a lockup/crash/guru whatever. Thanks!

I know some time ago we had a whole flurry of problems getting DNet 2.01
to work, but at that time I didn't really have a use for it. Now, between me
and my roomate, we have 3 Amigas. (Only 2 hard drives, though) Since I saw
the software distillery's NET: device recently, I decided to hook up the 3rd
Amiga with NET: and avoid much jumping back and forth with disk in hand.
However, DNet 2.01 barfed when I tried running it. Here's how I have it
set up: my 1000 feeds the second 1000 through a null modem cable. When I
start DNet, the little 'dialing' window appears. Now, you are supposed to use
the menu entry 'start DNet', wherepon the computers will automatically start
up a FTerm window. I'm okay untill then. The window appears, but never does
anything. After a bit, it goes away again and the little 'dialing' window
appears. No error messages, no nothing. I pulled my hair out checking all
of the files like dnet.server to make shure everything was set up right. Did
anybody else have this problem? Any ideas on what I could be doing wrong?
Matt?
anyone? anyone? BUELER?

Well, believe it or not, I still haven't gotten DNET 2.x, so all my experience is with 1.x, but here it is anyway: 1. Make sure your dnet.servers file is in s:. Make sure it has the correct pathnames for the servers. 2. Make sure both machines have the same baud rate set in preferences, or choose a baud rate on the DNET command line. 3. Make sure you run DNET on BOTH machines. BOTH machines should have a dialer window up. When both dialer windows are up, you should be able to type into one and see the results in the other. If you can't, don't bother going on, it will not work. I always run DNET -s, which prevents it from running FTERM once it comes up. I'm not interested in running FTERM, only NET:. --Doug

Hello, I'm new to this list and am having problems unpacking files I have FTP'd from the various sources. I am connecting via BITNET (FTPing through a portal at Princeton). The system I am receiving the files on is a VAX running VMS. We also have online the Berkley UNIX shell. I have tried uncompressing the uu1.Z files and get a message that the files are not compressed. I assume this is the correct method (saw it mentioned in a previous msg). I never have received the file which tells the methods of uncompressing the various formats. I'm also specifying BINARY when I request the files. (F.Y.I. I'm FTPing from xanth) If someone could send me a UUENCODED version of the files needed, I would be very grateful. There are several of us Amiga users here at UALR who would benefit from the added availablity of files via FTP.

Hi! Can I please have some advice on which terminal program I should buy for
my Amiga 500? I have 512k memory. I want the best that I can get, that wont
take up all my memory like Online! Platinum does. Please send me E-Mail. thank
you very much!

Those aren't bugs! Just undesirable features!

I recently purchased my first `arcade' game, _Ballistix_ by Psygnosis. It is
copy protected, and as this is the first time I've had to deal with this, I
wonder if anyone can tell me how to make a copy of the original disk. I just
want to make a ``working'' copy to play the game off of so I don't risk
ruining the original.
[BTW, this game runs FINE on my 25MHz A3000, under 2.0!]
I don't normally read this newsgroup, so please forward any hints by e-mail.
ADVthanksANCE,

Hello everyone! Sorry to bother everyone out there this close to Christmas, but I need to know the answer to this problem very quickly! You see, I have A 1080 monitor which still works great (I bought it in 1986), but I'm going to be putting together an IBM clone for my mother (she needs it for all those IBM-businessy things) and I was wondering if the PC could use the 1080 as an EGA compatible monitor. If this is possible, then are there any restrictions, such as having to use a 400 line EGA mode in interlace, or even the 350 line mode? What can and can't be done? Also, what would the black switch in the back be set to? TTL Pos, Neg, Analog RGB, ??? And lastly, what would be a good EGA card to get if this works? Any E-mailed comments regarding this matter and would be welcomed and greatly appreciated at the above address. =//==================================//==============================//======== VX I-Net: psherman@acsu.buffalo.edu VX Standard disclaimer applies.
