1781.0. "New Files" by MTWAIN::MACDONALD (WA1OMM 7.093/145.05/223.58 AX.25) Mon Oct 17 1988 11:04

Several new additions (must haves) in PAULY"AMIGA"::

o  DANSPL.ARC     A superb print spooler. Actually, it's a new handler for
                  device PRT: and works with any print command. Simply
                  do what you'd normally do to print a file. Instead of
                  being sent directly to PRT: it is copied to RAM: where
                  it sits in a queue (just like on VMS). PRINTC is the 
                  command provided to allow displaying the queue (just 
                  like SHOW QUEUE in VMS). How did I ever get along without
                  this? 

o  QVIEW.ARC      Another file viewer. This one is very small and smartly
                  uses the UP/DOWN arrow keys to scroll through the file.

o  AMIDEX.ARC     One of the better address books I've seen for the Amiga.

o  PRINT2.ARC     Set up your printer through CLI rather than through
                  Preferences. I have mine defined as a function key with
                  MACHII. This is another well written program from
                  the Persian Gulf.

o  QUADPRT.ARC    This utility takes a picture and increases its size 4x.
                  The "quads" can then be pasted together to create a "poster."

o  LEX.ARC        Performs a lexical analysis of any text file.

o  DIR.ARC        Another directory command that displays several filenames
                  per line.

o  ATOMCLK.ARC    Automatically dials up the NBS and sets the Amiga's
                  internal clock to the most accurate time in the world.

o  MACH24C.ARC    The very latest MACHII utility.

o  HELP11.ARC     A pop-up HELP screen utility. Very handy.

    I'm having problems accessing these file (during and after hours).
    I get a node not reachable error (has this node changed areas?).

    Not sure why it's happening, but something out there is causing
    the node to crash (requiring). A number of people have already
    downloaded files.
    
    Just keep trying I suppose.

    Has anyone out there downloaded this files onto their VAX ??  I've
    been trying for a week now to get some of these files, but PAULY
    is always unreachable.  If you have these files, please post the
    location here so that others may benifit.  Thank you for your support.
