Is it *ul as in the posting of messages to a topic? Regards, Kevin. ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 14 Fri Feb 23, 1990 C128-BILL [SYSOP] at 23:23 EST Kevin, the *UP (or even *B) command is not implemented in the long file description in the Librbaries. I use Bob's Term Pro Send Buffer, Line with Prompt for ALL of my editing in this area. Increase your line and character delay a bit, from the default settings, and it should be fine. ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 15 Tue Feb 27, 1990 A.K.QUINN [Kevin] at 00:45 EST Bill: I u?ld a file which is bad. Somehow Genie got one block more than it should have. It's called Store Screen and is Ml version of Store/ Recall. The description should be okay, but should I start all over? I've added a few wrinkles that show it can do lots more than I first thought. =Kevin ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 16 Tue Feb 27, 1990 C128-BILL [SYSOP] at 09:10 EST OK, Kevin. I wouldn't worry about the block count from GEnie, however the new file would be great. I'll delete the old one (I have it on disk, anyway), and if you could 'up' the revised one, that would be great! I'll make sure it's released before I leave. Bill J. ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 17 Tue Feb 27, 1990 E.G.BELL at 14:29 EST Bill & Kevin: I have used a buffer dump in the 'longer description' section of file uploads with no delay at 2400 baud with perfect results. Same goes for the message editor. ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 18 Wed Feb 28, 1990 C128-BILL [SYSOP] at 02:01 EST Interesting! With no delays what-so-ever? I'll have to give it a try. ------------ Category 1, Topic 3 Message 19 Wed Feb 28, 1990 E.G.BELL at 05:51 EST I've been doing it for a long time now bill. It was very useful when I was uploading all of those different dialer versions of PCG Term. And that was with that old cheap Digital Data modem, not just my Supra. ------------ ************ Topic 27 Sun Dec 31, 1989 P.BAKER7 at 18:56 PST Sub: 1764 REU: Making compressed pics Want to make compressed pics to be displayed as 36 'moving' pictures. 1764 REU manual doesn't explain! 2 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 1, Topic 27 Message 2 Sat Feb 17, 1990 E.G.BELL at 18:57 EST I have never done it, but toyed with the idea. My intention was to tae decompression routine on the RAMDOS disk and figure it out using that code. All hi-res files are in very similar format, at least Koala, Doodle, Print Shop, etc. They may load in different areas but that is a technicality. A matter of a 2 byte load address adjustment. I would suggest you look to commodore's decompression routine. I was planning on reversing the logic (I guess) they use to de-compress the files. ------------ ************ Topic 29 Mon Jan 08, 1990 BARRY.B at 00:16 EST Sub: gif Looking for GIF file viewer 3 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 1, Topic 29 Message 3 Sat Feb 17, 1990 E.G.BELL at 18:59 EST There is a program available, but it is supposedly EXTREMELY slow, taking up to 4 hours for a detailed picture. I haven't used it, but I have been led to believe it is written in BASIC. I wonder what kind of speed difference you could achieve in ML, but if something takes 4 hours in BASIC and 45 minutes in ML, would you be happy. Maybe it wouldn't be that bad though. ------------ ************ Topic 33 Mon Jan 22, 1990 G.WARKENTIN at 23:47 MST Sub: Help locating software wanted PASCAL COBOL C-128 128 Turbo pascal borland cp/m cpm manufacturers phone numbers 5 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 1, Topic 33 Message 3 Tue Feb 27, 1990 E.G.BELL at 14:39 EST Wanna hear a good one. I have Abacus COBOL for the C128 and have NEVER used it. Never even loaded it. Bought it for school but wasn't allowed to use it. I did read a good bit of the manual. It is obviously not a mainframe version, but would probably be decent for home puttering. ------------ Category 1, Topic 33 Message 4 Wed Feb 28, 1990 DIGITAL.DOC at 00:00 PST If you're giving it away, I'd like to have it! <Grin> <Doc> ------------ Category 1, Topic 33 Message 5 Wed Feb 28, 1990 E.G.BELL at 05:53 EST Nah! I'm like a squirrel. I hide things away even if I never use them. It is one of only 2 programs I have by Abacus, the other being the 128 compiler. That is excellent with many GREAT features including the ability to compile 6502 machine code. Based on that I would be inclined to trust Abacus software. Their books are excellent too! ------------ ************ Topic 34 Thu Jan 25, 1990 M.CLAY2 at 19:15 EST Sub: Header command How do you rename a C128 disk without erasing the files!

I think it's in the telecomunication library. It's called ARC-AID and I useit all of the time when I want to de-arc something. A utility is almost a MUST if you want to get the most out of the libraries, especially the games library. It can also save you valuable time uploading. ------------ Category 1, Topic 37 Message 3 Tue Feb 27, 1990 E.G.BELL at 14:43 EST I am not an MSDOS user as yet, or an Amiga user either, but I believe that the ZOO format is used exclusively on those higher end machines. If you are interested in ARC programs there are a ton of them on GEnie. The one I'd recomment is ARC 2.30. You can also get the ARC aid program mentioned previously. I believe it includes an ARC to SDA converter. I also think there are easier programs to use to do that. The version of ARC that I have had no trouble at all with is ARC 2.30. I personally stay away from ARC 2.50 as I've had a lot of troubles with it when it came time to de-ARC files. ------------ Category 1, Topic 37 Message 4 Wed Feb 28, 1990 DIGITAL.DOC at 00:01 PST Strange... I've never had a problem with v2.50....Hmmmm <Doc> ------------ Category 1, Topic 37 Message 5 Wed Feb 28, 1990 C128-BILL [SYSOP] at 03:21 EST I've always liked 2.3 over 2.5! ------------ Category 1, Topic 37 Message 6 Wed Feb 28, 1990 E.G.BELL at 05:54 EST This was a topic for discussion some time ago, and is still on GEnie under the category PCGTERM 6480.arc I believe. I stay away from ARC 2.50. It does work, but when it bites you it bites hard! ************ Topic 23 Tue Feb 20, 1990 S.MALOTT at 20:27 CST Sub: Transactor 8 bit subscribers looking for info about transactor 64/128 magazine 4 message(s) total. ************ ------------ Category 2, Topic 23 Message 1 Tue Feb 20, 1990 S.MALOTT at 20:30 CST Does anyone know if Transactor for 8 bit machines is still around?
