exclusively. I'm wondering if I should get one of those cleaning-kit
to 'clean' the head of the floppy drive. What's the appropriate thing
to do?
I'm also finally about to purchase a hard-drive. I understand that
the Supra 20Meg comes in two flavors, one which is small (3.5") and another
which is bigger. How are there different? Which is better? Atari SH204
is out; i don't think my dorm desk likes its size.
Has anyone been able to create a file with the 'cat file1 >file2'
command in GULAM? When I do that, file1 just gets printed on my screen, and
file2 is creted with 0 byte.
Also, does anyone know how to fix the mouse problem
that I encounter if I run Publishing Partner in GULAM. Running it the first
time is fine, but if I run it a second time (or subsequently) from GULAM,
the mouse messes up the PP screen (leaves extraneous arrows on screen and
messes up drawing of the menu). PP still runs fine except the screen is
quite messed up. (the kind of thing you get when you did not do mouse_off
when re-drawing a screen where the mouse cursor subsequently leaves a
background block wherever it goes). I've tried doing a mouse_off before
invoking PP, but with same symptoms. This only happens with second and
subsequent runs of PP. Running the first time in GULAM is always fine. Also
after running PP a couple of times (with the messing symptoms), I can exit
to the desktop from GULAM, and re-run PP with no problem at all !!
Am I correct to say that when I exit GULAM, the memory used is not
released.
