| 1167.1 | more disks ready | ELWOOD::PETERS |  | Sun Feb 14 1988 14:51 | 14 | 
|  |     
    
    	Now I tied up my phone for a few more hours and the result is
    
    FF122	MVCAD3::user0:[amiga.ff122]
    FF123	MVCAD3::user0:[amiga.ff123]
    
    	As always directions are in MVCAD3::user0:[amiga]Fred-Fish.help
    The help file should be read before down-loading. Each ARC has a
    execute file ( command file ) that should be used to extract the
    files.

| 1167.2 | The countdown continues | ELWOOD::PETERS |  | Tue Feb 16 1988 00:25 | 13 | 
|  |     
    
    	Well, a little more transfer time and now
    
    FF121	MVCAD3::user0:[amiga.ff121]
    
    is available. As I have heard no complaints I assume FF122 - FF128
    are O.K.  As always I do take requests, but only as time allows.

| 1167.3 | SDBACK.ARC problem on FF128 | SAUTER::SAUTER | John Sauter | Tue Feb 16 1988 09:08 | 7 | 
|  |     I hate to complain, but I had a problem with one of the .ARC files
    on FF128: SDBACK.ARC.  I copied the file to my Amiga using Kermit,
    and then when using the ARC T or X commands I get the Guru on FILE03.
    All of the other files are OK.
    
    Has anyone else seen this problem?  If not I'll re-Kermit it.

| 1167.4 | SEE 681 FOR SDBACKUP | POLAR::GOSLING | KANATA MFG I.S. | Tue Feb 16 1988 09:26 | 7 | 
|  | 
       John, why screw around with FF128 when you can get SDBACKUP right
       from the source, ie: Steve Drew's directory.  REF note #681 for
       specifics.

| 1167.5 | Could be the file format? | LOWLIF::DAVIS | That's not a BUG, it's a FEATURE! | Tue Feb 16 1988 12:42 | 11 | 
|  | re .3
John,
  I had a similar problem with an ARC file once that also GURU'ed when I tried
to unarc it.  I got around the problem by converting it to Stream_LF on the
VAX using CVTARC and then using XMODEM.  It seemed at the time that ARC on
the Amiga liked that format much better.
					Dunno, just a hint...

| 1167.6 | ff5 anyone? | TOOTER::RIES | Frank W. Ries Jr. | Tue Feb 16 1988 13:07 | 8 | 
|  | 	Does someone have a copy of FF5 uploaded somewhere, or could someone
	please upload it? It appears that is has some examples of various
	forms of keyboard input that I would very much like to look at.
	Also, is there a PD program floating around that will play
	THRILLER and YES? These are obviously not DMCS songs.

| 1167.7 | PLAY.PAK | LEDS::ACCIARDI |  | Tue Feb 16 1988 13:11 | 12 | 
|  |     Frank, look in LEDS3::USER6:[ACCIARDI.AMIGA]PLAY.PAK
    
    This is a PD Sonix player written by Mark Riley, author of Sonix,
    and placed as shareware in the public domain.
    
    If you're not familiar with the .PAK format, it is merely a self
    dissolving archive.  Place the .PAK file in RAM: and CD to RAM:,
    then just type 'PLAY.PAK' and the archive will magically unpack
    itself.

|  |     re: .4--Thanks, I'll try to get it from there.  CGFSV2 is currently
    unreachable, however.
    
    re: .5--That sounds very strange.  Files on the Amiga, like files
    on Unix(tm), don't have attributes.  If the results of downloading
    two different ways are different, then one of those ways isn't working
    correctly.
    
    Aha, CGFSV2 just became "reachable".  Ain't multitasking wonderful?

| 1167.10 | FF05 ready | ELWOOD::PETERS |  | Wed Feb 17 1988 00:21 | 24 | 
|  |     
    Re .6 and FF05
    
    	One more disk done. Fred Fish 05 is at
    
    FF05	MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga.FF05]
    
    	This disk contains many programming examples. Many of the
    	programs show I/O ( keyboard, mouse, joystick ).
    
    
    Re .4
    	I'm glad to see all the time and effort I put into uploading
    	Fred Fish disks is useful. Maybe I shouldn't "screw around"
    	with this any more.
    
    
    Re .9
    	I'll get FF107 uploaded as soon as possible.

Thanks again.

       Steve.
       
       My sincerest apologies if it appeared I was belittling your
       efforts in uploading FF128 and others - "screwing around" was
       obviously a bad choice of words!  
       
       My intent was simply to point John to Steve Drew's directory for
       SDBACKUP, so that you, then he, didn't have to go through the time
       and trouble of re-processing, re-uploading, re-downloading and
       re-unprocessing the entire FF128.ARC for that single corrupted
       component.
       
       So, PPPPLLLEEEEEEEZZZZZ, continue making this stuff available - I
       most certainly do appreciate your efforts!

    	Fred Fish disk 107 is ready.
    
    FF107	MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga.FF107]
    
    	Don't forget information about how I ARC and upload the files
    is in MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga]Fred-Fish.help .  This help file
    gives information needed to recover the files from the ARC.

| 1167.17 | More FF disks | ELWOOD::PETERS |  | Mon Mar 07 1988 00:57 | 35 | 
|  |     
    
    	The Fred Fish disks on MVCAD3 has increased again. First as
    requested
    
    ff44	MVCAD3::user0:[amiga.ff44]
    FF58	MVCAD3::user0:[amiga.ff58]
    FF73	has a read error. I'll have to get a new copy.
    
    	Now for the rest...
    
    FF120	MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga.FF120]
    FF119	MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga.FF119]
    FF118		"	"
    FF117		"	"
    FF116		"	"
    FF115		"	"
    FF114		"	"
    FF113		"	"
    FF112		"	"
    FF111		"	"
    
    
    	These last disks makes the set complete from FF110 - FF128.
    My next goal is to fill in the holes back to FF100. As noted
    many other times HELP is available in
    
    	MVCAD3::user0:[Amiga]Fred-Fish.help
    
    	Also any requests can be made to me or to MVCAD3::AMIGA .

I'd be glad to upload FF disks if you mail me a copy. But then they should
