1872.0. "AMIGA library on-line" by HARDLY::ELLISM () Fri Nov 11 1988 16:30

    Ok, my version ofthe AMIGA on-line library is now available with
    the following directories:
    
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[utilities]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[graphics]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[demos]
    norse""::AMIGA:[games]
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[MUSIC]
    
    and an upload directory
    
    NORSE""::AMIGA:[UPLOAD]
    
    I would like to use this topic for suggestions for other 'areas'
    and/or complaints and directory listings (if the moderator doesn't
    mind)
    
    As a start, the utilities area now has:-
    
    MATLAB.zoo
    MATLABDOCS.ARC
    PSPICE.ZOO
    SNAP.ARC
    TRACKER.ARC
    WARP11.ARC
    
    and demos has
    
    WANIM0A.ARC
    WANIM0B.ARC
    WANIM1A.ARC
    WANIM1B.ARC
    
    If you wish to add anything, just send me a mail telling me what
    it is, and what format it is in (ZOO, ARC, WARP, etc).
    
    Buy the way, this library is in Europe. Brad, who runs the TAPE::
    library and I are working together, so if I receive anything I will
    inform Brad for people stateside. hopefully, this means that at
    least one AMIGA library will always be on-line.
    
    Lastly, this library will be joining DNS soon.

1872.1Problems with connection to EasynetHARDLY::ELLISMFri Nov 18 1988 17:125
    We have been having problems with our connections to easynet this
    week. If you've been trying to access this library, you may have
    had some difficulty. Hopefully, the PTT have cleared the problem.

1872.2[games]f18fix.uueHAZEL::MELLITZTue Nov 29 1988 08:101
    What is f18fix.uue?
1872.3New File DescriptionsLEDS::ACCIARDIInsert witty anti-Dukakis slogan here - Tue Nov 29 1988 12:0534
    I moved this description file over here from 1814.*.  It seems
    more appropriate here. -Ed
                              
    I've made a number of new uploads to NORSE""::AMIGA[UPLOAD].  Per
    Martin's approval, I expect you'll see them in [UTILITIES] soon.
    
    AMIGAPLOT.ARC - This 3D equation plotter is so good that it's hard
    to believe.  Shareware by Joe Martin.
    
    AMIGADEX.ARC - Another outstanding job.  Your basic Rollodex file,
    with an excellent Amiga-tized touch.  Shareware.
    
    QMOUSE14.ARC - Like MachII, but written in 100% assembler.  This
    is only 3.4 KBytes, versus 30+ KBytes for MachII.  You get the
    screenblanker, mouse-accelerator, PopCLI, hotkeys, macros, the Ginsu
    knife set, all of Elvis' hits....
    
    AMIGANTT.ARC - This is something that I haven't yet seen for the Amiga,
    but it's encouraging.  A functional Gantt chart (project planning)
    program with an excellent Intuition interface.  It's still a little
    rough around the edges (PERT charts are offered in a drop down menu,
    but aren't yet implemented, and the Critical Path option is also
    incomplete.)  Still, it's a start, and maybe with a little
    encouragement the author will finish it.  I plan to call him and
    feel him out on how the enhancements are going.  If it sounds good,
    I'll send him a donation.  If you've ever used MacProject, you'd
    know how helpful this type of program can be.
    
    All files are in ARC format, uploaded with XMODEM in fixed 128 byte
    format.

    re .2
    ff18.uue is a fix for F18 flight simulator. I can't remember exactly
    what it does now. I'll be posting a reply here soon as to what is
    in the library
    
    re.3
    
    All the software is in the library
    I have created a new directory called applications. The project
    manager software didn't seem to fit anywhere else (i'm typing this
    in ahead of doing this, so give me 1/2 hr)

1872.5FA/18 Interceptor code wheel eliminatorDNEAST::COMBAR_CURTAyuh! I'm from Maine...Sun Dec 11 1988 14:424
    f18.uue fixes the FA/18 Interceptor disk so that you don't have
    to use the silly codewheel to gain access to the program.  With
    this fix, all you have to type is 000 when it asks for the code.
1872.6AMIGA library available through DFSHARDLY::ELLISMTue Jan 10 1989 15:0612
    The Amiga library is now available from DFS. To use DFS type :-
    
    $MC DFS$CONTROL
    MOUNT SALE_SERV.EUR.UK.NORTH_WEST.GENERAL.AMIGA AMIGA:
    EXIT
    
    If youthen type dir AMIGA:[000000] you will see the top level directory
    for the amiga library.
    
    I recommend using DFS, it's easier and quicker than DECnet.

1872.7obligatory defenseSTAR::BANKSIn Search of MediocrityTue Jan 10 1989 16:4515
    Sorry to be so defensive about these things, but a minor quibble
    with .6:
    
    It is my understanding that DFS does use DECnet.  It just doesn't
    use the file transfer protocol that you normally get with the VMS
    COPY command (DAP to be precise).
    
    The statement would be properly worded:
    
    "I recommend using DFS, it's easier and quicker than DAP."

1872.8BAND AID for hurt feelingsHARDLY::ELLISMWed Jan 11 1989 18:324
    Sorry, I was refering to how most people would use DECnet. I hope
    this is enough to form as a bandaid for your hurt feelings

1872.9Is NORSE sick?VCSESU::MOORETom Moore MRO1-3/SL1 297-5224Thu Mar 30 1989 02:0810
Norse seems to have a sick decnet account. I get the following. Can any else
get in?

	$ dir norse::amiga:[*]
	%DIRECT-E-OPENIN, error opening NORSE::AMIGA:[*]*.*;* as input
	-RMS-E-FND, ACP file or directory lookup failed
	-SYSTEM-F-INVLOGIN, login information invalid at remote node
	$
Thanks for any help.

1872.10Library back on-lineIGETIT::ELLISMPurring on a straight six....Thu Mar 30 1989 05:017
    Apologies for this. It seems to have happened when I put in a new
    node to the LAVc. I'm running V5.2 FT1, and when I add a new node,
    it really screws up the DECnet database.
    
    Anyway It's working again now.
