Conference hydra::amiga_v1

    re #-1:
    	replace all Digi-Tek references with New-Tek (you know what
    I meant)
    
    Just got the disks. GREAT DEMO!!! (Maxine headroom is only part
    of it)
    The problem is this: The demo sits on 2 disks, each is 99% full
    when info'ed, each with subdirectories.  I have the room on my system,
    I have the time to upload them. What I lack is an *easy* way of
    doing it.  Is there a utility that will save the structure of the
    disk and throw it into an arc-like file (ie compressed!)? I have
    2.5 M of memory and 2 drives (No hard drive yet :^(  ).  If there
    isn't one, then it'll take just a little bit longer to throw every
    directory into an arc file, all the little arcs into a big one and
    a command procedure to unbundle the whole thing.
    
    			Any ideas?
    
    					Jim
    
    P.S. Whenever they come out with Digi-F/X, I'm buying it!!!
    

    TRACKER will transfer an entire disk with it's structure intact.
    Anyone have it on the E-net?
    
    Ed.
    

TRACKER is available on  OASIS2""::HSC000$DUA7:[BERNARD.AMIGA]TRACKER.ARC

I de-arced it to provide the documentation.


I also have another utility stored in this directory called PACK-IT.ARC.
PACK-IT is also supposed to maintain the directory structure.  I also de-arced
this file to provide the .DOC on line.


Enjoy...

John

    you may want to talk to steve peters (elwood::) about the way he
    is putting some of the fish disks on-line here on mvcad3...we have
    (for now) plenty of space, and I'm willing to put other arc files
    here as well...

Thanks for all the help!  Last night I used TRACKER to break
up the first of the disks into files, each containing 10 
tracks.  I then combined them into 2 arc files,

	WINERY::USER3$:[COLLUM]DEMO1A.ARC

Name          Length    Date     
============  ========  =========
track0.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track1.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track2.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track3.1        116174  29 Nov 86
        ====  ========
Total      4    464696  


	WINERY::USER3$:[COLLUM]DEMO1B.ARC

Name          Length    Date     
============  ========  =========
track4.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track5.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track6.1        116174  29 Nov 86
track7.1        116174  29 Nov 86
        ====  ========
Total      4    464696  

You will need to use TRACKER to restore these files to a disk.
The location can be found in on of the previous replys.

Tracks		File
0-9		track0.1
10-19		track1.1
20-29		track2.1
30-39		track3.1
40-49		track4.1
50-59		track5.1
60-69		track6.1
70-79		track7.1

I haven't tested this procedure yet. Tonight I'm going to
do the other disk in the pair.  I'm letting you know where 
the first disk is for those brave souls who might want to
get this first disk ASAP. (To those brave souls, if you 
should download it and unpack it, could you post whether
or not it worked).  I'll be testing the whole procedure after
the second disk has been uploaded.

				Thanks
					Jim

    

    I downloaded , de-arced and de-tracked (?) demo1a.arc. Tried to
    run and a few images appeared (MAXINE , i think), until it asked
    to insert data disk, which I assume is the disk you're going to
    upload next.
    
     Thanks a lot Jim, for making this available ! I live far-away from
    the local dealer, mail takes a week to get here from the States,
    there are no users group around, but people like you make me enjoy
    my AMIGA much more. Thanks again !
    
    P.S. When are you going to upload the next disk ? I can't wait !!!!

    re: .6 
    try it in stereo, it has 4 voices saying "NewTek".
    Worked great for me too.  And asked for the data disk.
    
    Thanks for uploading it,
    -Dave

Well, the last two arc files (these comprise the data disk for the demo)
can now be found at :

	WINERY::USER3$:[COLLUM]DEMO2A.ARC

Copy these files, de-arc them, de-track them to a disk, put this disk in
your second drive (WHAT!!! you don't have a second drive??..This is as good
a reason to buy one as any).  Put the first disk in drive 0 and boot.

    
Sorry for the delay, we're in the middle of buying a house and a persons
priorities can really get screwed up during this (What do you mean I
have to sign loan papers!!! I need to upload this demo... This argument
just doesn't seem to work anymore... maybe i'm getting old)
            
					Good luck!

    Maybe I can save someone a lot of downloading time. This demo won't
    run in 512K.

    Hello all!  Are these demos still around anywhere?  I've been trying
    to get at WINERY for the past week, but it is not available.
    
    						Thanks,
    
    						...richard

    Does anyone around the East have this demo online?  I can't seem
    to get to WINERY:: either.  Thanks!
    

I'm pulling that stuff from WINERY right now. Around 4:00 (EST) or so look in

Thanks a lot, John!  I never could get to WINERY.  I'll get them off your
system this evening.

    I don't seem to have a problem getting to winery ;^)
    I haven't been able to get to this conference for about a week.
    An area router may have gone down or something.
    Winery is a cluster alias. Some of the nodes in the cluster are:
    Brgndy
    Lrgfmt (my system)
    We just went through an Area split out here, so indivdual network
    databases may have not been updated.  The files are still where
    they used to be. Sorry for the inconvience.
