Is MG3a available anywhere? Especially source? I haven't seen it go by any source group I watch, or any ther recent mentions of it. I am anxious for the Arexx port! -- Scott Henry <scotth@sgi.com> | These are my | Tardis Express -- when it Information Services, | Opinions only! | absolutely, positively Silicon Graphics, Inc | Whose else? | has to be there -- yesterday.

Wondering if MG3a is avaiable as an executable with all the options turned on. How complete is the arexx port? Thanks for any information.

Here's the scoop on mg3a: It's in beta test. I've been busy with other projects (like changings jobs and houses and an imported asian flu and other things that should appear soon), and there's still much work to be done on it (like convincing it to work on a DS3100, and incorporating patches for things other than BSD & Amiga/Lattice, and adding three or four sets of bug fixes/enhancements). I won't be distributing a binary version until the real release. Nor will I be doing a usenet posting, or sending mg3a to Fred Fish. The current beta compiles and runs (and displays bugs) under Lattice 5.0x. You can ftp the sources & several levels of patch files from jade.berkeley.edu, in pub/mg. The editor is solid in that it doesn't guru (at least, not for me), but there are several known annoying bugs. Earlier versions had serious problems, and would guru at random times. The ARexx interface is extensive, and has drawn nothing but praise with two exceptions: 1) (paraphrased) "To many notes", and 2) You didn't provide any information about screen positioning. This should be fixed in the next release, probably using code provided by Dan Riley. At this point, I wouldn't count on mg3a before 1.4. Especially since I'm tempted to wait for 1.4 in any case. <mike -- It's been a hard day's night, Mike Meyer And I been working like a dog. mwm@relay.pa.dec.com It's been a hard day's night, decwrl!mwm I should be sleeping like a log.

Hi, I am having problems finding the jade.berkely.edu, since our nameserver can't find it. I would appreciate if someone could send me the IP-address for jade! -Per |~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| | ___ ___ ___ | | / / / / / Aalborg University, Denmark | | /__/ /__ /__/ ARPA per@iesd.auc.dk{...} | | / /___ / \ | | | | Per L.
