1010.0. "Fractals/Modula-II" by VIRTUE::WATERS (Learning to Fly) Wed Dec 23 1987 22:42

    If you are interested in Fractals, Modula-II, or some examples of
    how intuition gadgets and requesters can be used, you may want to
    download:
    
    SQM::COMM_PERF1$:[WATERS.AMIGA]FRACTALS.ARC
    
    If you have half as much fun using this program as I had writing
    it, the download time will be worth your while.  The source code
    is included.  Presently, there is no ICON for it, so you have to
    use the CLI to execute it - and it requires a STACK size of about
    30,000 bytes.  If you have any comments or questions, please let
    me know.

    o Happy Chanukah

	No interest eh? Hey, that's cool, Can anyone spot the 3 10s in this note number?

	Also 1010 is ten base 2.
1010.4	But...but...	SOFTY::HEFFELFINGER	Give my body to science fiction.	`Wed Jan 06 1988 23:39`	8
	Re .1 On the contrary, I'm quite interested. Both for the fractals and the M2 code. I just haven't found the time for pulling that 400+ block file. Thanks for making it available. I will look at it Real Soon Now. Gary
1010.5	Communication windows	SQM::WATERS	Learning to Fly	`Thu Jan 07 1988 08:27`	9
	.3 is what I was looking for. I'm getting ready to start on my next Modula-II project; I'm going to write a communications procedure for the Amiga that implements the TDSMP protocol (you know, like WACK on the Atari). I've looked at the ideas in this conference and am planning on to writing a general routine that can be called by any existing communications program (like the excellent VT200 program). Is anyone currently working on or considering such a project?
1010.6	"Whack", not "Wack"	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeff Lomicka	`Thu Jan 07 1988 10:44`	4
	'tis about time. It's spelled "Whack" not "Wack". I've seen it spelled wrong a lot lately, so I'm trying to stamp out the error.
1010.7	does that imply...?	CIMNET::KYZIVAT	Paul Kyzivat	`Thu Jan 07 1988 16:55`	7
	re .5: I don't know much of anything about TDSMP or WHACK. Would what you propose make it possible for VT200 to run kermit while simultaneously supporting an interactive session? That would be the greatest thing since sliced bread! Paul
1010.8	Yesm that's the idea	PRNSYS::LOMICKAJ	Jeff Lomicka	`Thu Jan 07 1988 17:27`	15
	That's the intention, yes, but my experience (on the ST) has been that interactive performance of one session is rotten when downloading in another session, because all those bits hog the wire. Uploading and reading notes at the same time isn't bad, since most of the traffic is in opposite directions, and threfere doesn't interfere as bad. Keystroke handling can be dealyed somewhat in this case, making editing difficult. Reading three or four distant notesfiles at once is no sweat! Doing two file transfers at once takes more than twice as long than doing one at a time. These impressions are from using Whack's internal file transfer protocol, which streams data with no ACK messages. Kermit behavior may be substantially different, and I look forward to hearing about it.
