Really the best thing about RUFUS is that you can change the name to RUFUS.ACC and run it as an accessory...It's really nice when you're working on a lengthy MIDI or CAD project to just pop in to a local BBS for a couple of minutes. I wouldn't try it on a 520, though. !! \ __ __ __ ____ __ _ ___ !!

( I JUST got it and can't read German(?!) ) Does anybody have an English version of the .RSC ?? I can guess a lot but not all of the meanings of the menu entries. Hmmm..... Rufus (I'm using it now) seems to NOT update the screen (I keep having to do Control-L's in Emacs), I assume this is a setup problem.. Also, it doesn't let me mark text in GNU-Emacs (Control-Space) Is there a solution for this (NOT vi , I use Gnus, and VM for news and email almost exclusively ) -Andy- -- |"The Snark WAS a Boojum, you see!"|Good : acs@unhd.unh.edu | |"Reality !?!

I dloaded RUFUS from atari.archive sometime last year and only recently bought G+Plus so I could try it out (RUFUS needs GDOS). However, I am having problems with it. First, I have the terminal protocol set to VT100, but I call up the University machines and the screen won't scroll. It gets to the bottom of the screen and all the text disappears below the last line. Also, the text that comes back from the mainframe is all junk! I have the settings done the same as Uniterm but it's like RUFUS uses its own character table! Anybody had the same type of problems with RUFUS? -- Patrick B.

However, I There is a GDOS clone at atari.archive called AMCGDOS. It's from Germany, I believe. Actually, I'm pretty sure it's at a.a; I think that's where I got my version. So, those who want to try Rufus don't need to purchase G+Plus, although G+Plus is an excellent product. -- Ed Krimen ............................................... ||| Video Production Major, California State University, Chico ||| INTERNET: ekrimen@ecst.csuchico.edu FREENET: al661 / | \ SysOp, Fuji BBS: 916-894-1261 FIDONET: 1:119/4.0

AMCGDOS come with the Rufus, when you unarchived the Rufus.tos by run it, it would generate all the file and in AUTO folder would have AMCGDOS. Tang sytang@lamar.colostate.edu

It may require changing the program itself and I am anyway trying to make scandinavian characters work. So I'll have to contact the maker of it...

However, I I use Rufus quite often (few times a day) and I have never used it with GDOS! Why GDOS is needed? I know it comes with it and you are not able to load additional fonts without it, but that's all. It runs well without GDOS. >am having problems with it.

I have never seen that... Rufus uses character table similar to German keyboard... That's bad! Set it so that it uses only 7-bit characters. It usually works. And you may have the screen-size setting wrong. Try 80x24. Hope this helps a bit. Jartsu *** Jari Lehto, jartsu@otax.hut.fi, s37837k@saha.hut.fi ***

I ftp-ed rufes from atari.archive and downloaded it. everything runs nicely, no problems w/ GDOS. However I did notice that when I uploaded something with the internal Xmodem or Ymodem, it does a disk access every kilobyte. Needless to say, this is not good. Is there a way around this, or are you pretty much expected to use the external Zmodem that is provided? This may be in the documentation, but I'm many years out of practice with German. (BTW, you can't see an entire 80X24 screen unless you change the font that it comes up in to something smaller. Then it all fits nicely.) -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- chuck bridgeland---anarchoRepublican "one thing about a police state, you can always find the police" l. neil smith chuck@mrcnext.cso.uiuc.edu hire me so I can quit this pit. -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

My version of rz only accesses the disk at the end of the file, meaning that it receives the file into memory and then saves it after EOT. I have never tried the internal X/YModem. The external ZModem is much better, also because it starts automatically.

X/Y is slightly slower, but when you can do other work while the download is taking place, who cares! Rufus is really great!
