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?). -Mike | |||||

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. paul | |||||

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. _Mike_ ;7) | |||||

Re. 4 I have been able to copy qview, amidex, print2, lex, dir, atomclk and help11 to PUERTO::DISK$PUBLIC:[ALVAREZ.PUBLIC]. They will be there a couple of weeks only. If I am able to copy any others, I'll tell here. Miguel A. Alvarez |
