I have a couple of questions. E-mail responses will be appreciated by all, I'm sure. :-) Unless, of course, you feel the answers need to be known by all. First, What is the accepted, or common, way of making purchases thru the net? I mean, how do you protect yourselves from the wolves. None of you, of course. It seems the seller or the buyer could easily get burned. I'm sure if it were to happen, there would be flames galore. But flames do not replace lost money or merchandise. So, how do *you* do it? Second, Is Xlisp archived on the net anywhere? I remember seeing the answer go by sometime ago, but I didn't have any interest then. :-) Cheers, Mark ====================================================== Mark L.

Greetings! I've got a couple of burning questions!
1) What is the numeric address for abcfd20.larc.nasa.gov?
This is "newxanth", right? The UNIX machines here at UCSD
don't recognize 'abcfd20.....', alas.
2) Could a wise one post the addresses (numeric and text) for
the most frequented ftp sites that are referred to mainly
by nicknames on the net (newxanth being a prime example)
3) The Big One---> If one is using a monitor, perhaps a
SuperVGA multisync, that can display more than 640x400 plus
overscan (say 1200x800) hooked up to an Amiga running 2.0
with ECS and all that, and you custom-define the blitter
area to be 1200x800 (usually a scrolling bitmap), will this
large, hi-res display display at 1200x800 on the monitor, or
will it show 640x400 and scroll to show the rest? If the
former, this is a time for major celebration. A3000 owners?
CATS people?
Many thanks in advance. If it's not too much trouble could you
email me an answer (I'll post it if noone else does).
See you at AmiExpo!
