[comp.sys.amiga] Back to the net

I'm back to the net. My ex-feeding site had a severe crash, and it took me
some time (= some months) to find another one and get up and running (I'm 
living in Switzerland, you know :-). I don't know if this new address of mine 
will last...we shall see. So sorry to everybody who didn't got their mail 
answered.

Now for the following:

I would like to use Sculpt Animate 4D animations in Animagic. However,
SA (unfortunately) uses a special type of animation recording called J-type
animation. Can I convert it somehow to an Animagic compatible format?
I cannot save the images and create the animation with a tool like
GrabAnim, I don't have tens of megs free hard drive space.

Concerning SA4D - I sent in my registration card autumn last year,
asking for the update to V 2.09.  I haven't heard anything from Byte by
Byte until now, while I got a letter to several other companies like Syndesis 
(just for an information) answered rather quickly.  If I buy a software that
costs 600 US$ (in Switzerland) I'd like at least to get some updates.  The 
fact that I didn't hear anything rather disappoints me.


I've also just received Matt Dillon's AmigaUUCP1.0 stuff, it's great.
Thanks a lot, Matt. However, I still have my old problem with uucico (with
uucico supplied with JDCP it didn't happen):
Somehow uucico is sending the login name and the password too fast (I have
a 2500 with a US Robotics HST polling at (sigh) 2400 baud). The other site
just doesn't work this fast :-).....it doesn't get the password. I can
include \r's or \d's in the l.sys file, nothing helps. However, if I slow
uucico by giving a uucico -x9, everything works. I modified the old uucico
V0.5 to print comments even if debug was 0 and thus slowing it down.
Of course this is not the cleanest solution, has anybody a better one?
I also wonder why it works with that other uucico supplied with JDCP.....
