Msg 45395 is 13 line(s) on 01/05/92 from WARD CHRISTENSEN to BENJAMIN COHEN re: R/PARALLEL TAPE DRIVE? Ooh, I'm hoping the parallel tape doesn't use the "audio cassette" type of tape - but then again... In my "history", my first drive took DC-1000s, those were 1/8" tape in a 3M cartridge, about the size of a cassette. Then I went to a 20M cassette drive - with the offset notch like you said - CT-500 and CT-500H were the tape numbers. Then I got a Colorado Jumbo "120" (the quotes, because it is a 60M tape, they're "hoping" for double, via compression), for my communications system. My "big" system then went to a DC-300 and DC-600 type BIG CARTRIDGE drive - but only 60M (bought it used for $250). SO, almost no matter what tapes the parallel drive uses, I'm hoping I might have some tapes. We got approval for the parallel tape drive, I'm hoping they ordered it and it will come in fairly soon. I'm TIRED OF DISKETTES! Msg 45396 is 10 line(s) on 01/06/92 from STEPHEN SVIATKO to ALL re: BULLETIN BOARDS Hello, Does anyone here know the phone number to the Stillwaters BBS? I am trying to compile a list of BBS numbers in my 'A' calling range, as I have Centel and calls outside of A cost 5 cents a minute!! Thank you, Steve Msg 45397 is 14 line(s) on 01/06/92 from WILLIAM BARISH to SHANE VINCENT re: R/C FOR AMIGA As you can see I do not call BBSs' very often! Yes,though -in answer to your question- I do have an Amiga (500). To use a PD 'C' compiler effectively you will also need the complete 'INCLUDE' files (and other text material) which can be obtained from Commodore, but more readily from the June/July issue of the AMIGA WORLD TECH JOURNAL (with DISK!). Alternatively -and/or in supporst -you can use a book such as 'MAPPING THE AMIGA' (by Anderson & Thompson) which provides offsets for all library functions and, in addition, lists all STRUCT= URES with numeric offsets of the parameters. Using offset numbers for function and parameter values is probably not the best way to go (though, as a struggl- ing Assembly code pgm'r, I do!). Leave a msg, letting me know of your success/failure in getting this stuff. Incidentally, there is a third 'C' compiler (PD) on a recent Fred Fish disk. It is by Matt Dillon, who surely is one of the most knowledgeable of Amiga pgm'rs. It is SHAREWARE however, and costs about 40-50 bucks. Don't recall which FF# disk. Msg 45398 is 05 line(s) on 01/06/92 from JERRY OLSEN to STEPHEN SVIATKO re: R/BULLETIN BOARDS I don't off-hand have the number for Stillwaters, but the list they coordinate is one of several available on a BBS I run. If interested, details to direct you through the procedures are provided on your first call: The Advocate/NoWar, 312.939.4411, 24 hrs., 8/n/1, 300-2400 bps (Loop area). Msg 45399 is 02 line(s) on 01/06/92 from BOB SULLIVAN to ALL re: BEST C SYNTAX BOOK What is the best book for learning C syntax for someone with a strong programming background? Msg 45400 is 02 line(s) on 01/07/92 from BENJAMIN COHEN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/PARALLEL TAPE DRIVE? No, it's not an audio cassette, but it's the size and shape of an audio cassette, except for the notch. Msg 45401 is 10 line(s) on 01/07/92 from BENJAMIN COHEN to WARD CHRISTENSEN re: R/SCALABLE FONTS Following up on my prior message: The info file on the Windows printer driver for the LQ-570, LQ-870, LQ-1070, LQ-1170, AP-5000, and AP-5500 says: "Due to Microsoft's new font standard of not supporting printer resident fonts, Windows does not use the scalabale fonts feature of the new Epson printers." I haven't gotten any further, but I suppose that it means that to scale fonts it goes into graphics mode. I suppose if you want slow, you get Windows..... Msg 45402 is 03 line(s) on 01/07/92 from ERIC BOHLMAN to BOB SULLIVAN re: R/BEST C SYNTAX BOOK Probably "The C programming language" by Kernighan and Ritchie. It's basically the horse's mouth on the language (and prior to the adoption of the ANSI standard, it was THE definition of the language). Msg 45403 is 12 line(s) on 01/07/92 from STEPHEN SVIATKO to ALL re: BULLETIN BOARDS Hello, I am looking for the number of the Stillwaters BBS. If anyone knows it (come on, just about everyone has the list, right?) please leave it to me in E-mail or in a message or whatever.. To Jerry Olsen: Thanks for the recommendation to call your board, but no thanks. I believe (if I read the instructions on your board right) that you require a donation in order to get access to any of the files (including your stillwaters list!). Sorry.....
