2067.0. "New Files on TAPE::" by TAPE::WHERRY (Celebrate Gotham's Tricentennial) Mon Jan 02 1989 21:59

	Tons of stuff snagged from USENET today.  All of the zoo files are in:

TAPE::USER1:[AMIGA.ZOO...]

all of the other files are in:

TAPE::USER1:[AMIGA.USENET...]

NOTE:	All binary and zoo files are 512 byte fixed length records.

	I also added a file *.txt in each directory which contains the usenet
header and a brief description if one was availible in the header.  Also,
all of the SHAR and UUE files are also in the directories if you prefer those.

2067.1		LITE::J_PARSONS	Like Lesser Birds on the 4 Winds...	`Mon Jan 02 1989 22:25`	4
	If anyone gets the Moebius demo working please let me know how you did it. I spent many hours grabbing this thing from usenet and downloading it, only to find out that I can't make it run.
2067.2	Good luck with Moebius!	RLAV::WEGER	Bruce Weger	`Mon Jan 02 1989 23:10`	8
	Moebius... I heard (on usenet) that it's ; o From Italy in PAL and wont run at all in the US. o That even if it did run it needs 2.5M MINIMUM !!!! Guess I'll never get to see it :-(
2067.3	we tried...and failed...for now...	TAPE::WHERRY	Celebrate Gotham's Tricentennial	`Tue Jan 03 1989 03:30`	12
	Steve Peters and I spent about 30 minutes trying to get it to work. Moebius takes 1.5 meg to run, RGB takes 2.5 (I didn't even try and put together RGB its in 30 pieces.) Steve has some programs that may be able to convert it, but he thinks we were running out of memory on his 2000. (we only had 2 meg, and it probably takes twice as much to do the conversion.) oh well, I may give up on it soon. brad
2067.4		COORS::J_PARSONS	Like Lesser Birds on the 4 Winds...	`Tue Jan 03 1989 10:38`	3
	Memory isn't a problem for me as I have a 3 meg 2000. If you have anything that would help me to get it going please let me know because I've heard this is an excellent animation.
2067.5	RGB RUNS ON 1MEG...	FRAIS3::ISTURM		`Wed Jan 04 1989 08:24`	13

2067.7	Two RGBs	LEVERS::PLOUFF	Wes Plouff	`Wed Jan 04 1989 11:58`	5
	re: .5 One of the entries in the first (actually "Zeroth") BADGE Killer Demo Contest was called RGB and is on one of the Fred Fish disks. The new RGB is something else. Confusing, no?
