Have you seen the entry screen of JR-Comm 1.0? This is the ugliest thing I've ever seen on the Amiga or on any other PC. The picture looks like C64 graphics. It's EXACTLY things like that which give the Amiga its toy computer image. Show this to a maketing person and he'll walk away laughing without even looking at the (excellent) main program. -- ------------------------------------ Chris Brand - wizard@sosaria.imp.com "Justice is the possession and doing of what one is entitled to" - Platon ------------------------------------

Hey, my middle name ain't Rembrandt, what the hell do you want from a guy who can't draw a straight line without a ruler? :-) Seriously, I'd like a much snazzier display, but I also don't want to choke the executible with alot of once used data either. And, anyone, including you, who can do a title screen justice for me, I'm listening... -jack-

Since all of this discussion about JR-Comm has been going on, I thought I would see if anyone could solve my (somewhat different) problem. I have a stock A3000 25 MHz with the release ROMs. When I attempt to run JR-Comm, the title screen comes up, and then the program promptly bombs. I then get a "Not Enough Memory" guru-like error, and that's all, folks. This doesn't seem (at least, I don't think so...) to be the same semaphore error others are having (I even wrote a little program to check location 0 in a moment of desperation, and it contains a big, fat, longword 0 as expected.) Anyway, the only thing even remotely stange about my system is that I am running Cross-DOS v4.0. Anyone have any suggestions? Ron Menelli P.S. It works fine under 1.3.2, however...

Where is the latest version of JR-Comm available? I much enjoyed the earlier ones, and am looking foreward to the finalized 1.0 Duane Fields

Under 2.0 it has been found that a non-zero value in location 0 allows JR-Comm to run. I'm probably gonna pull the damned title screen because of this... ...I still can't get over the fact that one stupid lores screen could cause so much grief, oh well... -jack-
