So far the list includes only "Mavis Beacon Teaches Typing", right? That's pretty good, I don't even have that one. Are there any more submissions to the list? "Down John Morton M.E.

ChessMaster 2000 runs fine, except that the system always bombs when you save a game. The file is saved (fortuneatly!), but it is annoying. thus far this is the ONLY program that I've trouble with under TOS 1.4 Peter Szymonik Xorg@cup.portal.com

PC Ditto v3.01 will NOT work with TOS 1.4. I forget what the error says, but I think it was something like: "Does not work with this version of TOS" or something to that effect. Too bad there isn't a way to piggy back the two versions of ROMs and have a hardware switch between them. That is why I dislike system software being in ROM. It is so much easier on my Big Blue PeeCee. If something doesn't work in DOS 3.3...FINE...I boot up with DOS 3.2 or 3.1 and it works fine.

The compress.ttp which was posted in comp.binaries.atari.st does not work either. Does anyone have a working copy? (saves a lot of time on 1200baud) G.J. van Oldenborgh

Rdydisk, the reset-proof ramdisk that comes with Mark Williams C doesn't work. Oh, well, there are plenty of other ramdisks out there. VIP Professional (GEM version) with GDOS loaded has screwed up colors in the menus. The menus were illegible. Removing GDOS fixed the problem. One of these days I'll get G+Plus. By the way, my ROM came with documents. -- Ron DeBlock N2JSO Net: ...!rutgers!galaxy!argus US Mail: 42 Davis Street, Phillibsburg, NJ 08865 USA

PC DITTO v3.01 works fine with my TOS 1.4 developer EPROMS. The documentation that accompanied them is dated May 25th '89. Perhaps you have a different version? Matthew Seitz

I don't use Eternal 2, not seeing any need to upgrade and not having the documentation... The original Eternal has been adequate. Thanks.

I have two systems a 2.5 meg 1040 and a 1 meg 520. The 1040 with BMS-x00 will bring up PC DITTO from hard disk. THe 520 has a SH204, with the same files and order. PC DITTO refuses to boot fro the HD, only a Floppy. Once up, it reads the HD just fine. Maybe there really is a problem. Howard C. Johnson ATT Bell Labs att!lzaz!hcj hcj@lzaz.att.com

(saves a lot of time on 1200baud) Are you sure? Or more correctly, (I'm sure you're sure) what else have you changed? I'm running TOS 1.4 on a 2.5 meg upgraded 1040, and compress.ttp, taken from the net, runs like a champ. Used it this morning to push several hundred kb back and forth to my BSD systems @ 2400 baud (zmodem). I am using MWC's msh shell, no desk acc's, sm225 monitor, sh204 drive. Everything decompressed and crc'd properly. a compress fan, Ross

Just a bit more on that compress vs TOS 1.4 incompatability claim: I'm running rom-TOS 1.4 version of 6 April 1989 (my birthday, strangely enough!) and as I mentioned earlier, no problems w/ compress. Are the people having problems running floppy-based TOS 1.4 (the developers' version) on 1040's or 512's ?? You may simply be out of memory if so... compress.ttp is a small file (16 k) but a large executable (> 480 k or so). It has an absolutely huge BSS. Run size on it for details :-). hoping this helps, Ross

Dave Megginson has pointed out to me that Chessmaster 2000 works OK on his system, contrary to the experience of whoever reported that the program bombs when a save is attempted. As Dave suggests, let's limit the reports of failure to cases in which TOS 1.4 is in ROM and there are no auto folder programs in place. Please speak up if you find errors in the incompatibility list. "Down John Morton M.E. Machine Shop Down in the basement jmorton@euler.berkeley.edu Etcheverry Hall We hear the sound of machines..."

> > Please speak up if you find errors in the incompatibility list. > > > "Down John Morton M.E. Machine Shop > Down in the basement jmorton@euler.berkeley.edu Etcheverry Hall > We hear the sound of machines..." Univ. of Calif. Well, after having no problems with US version 3.01, I received an error message today about 'This is the US version. You must have a US machine.'. This occurred when I placed pc-ditto.prg in the AUTO folder and tried to have it execute upon boot-up. So out it went, along with the error message. jim
