3051.0. "DIGA woes..." by CSOA1::CURTIS () Fri Oct 27 1989 17:16

    Does anyone out there use DIGA!, the comm software package ? I have
    a problem with configuration files and scripts. If I save a config
    file using the VT100 emulator and open it later, I get a hang and
    I have to reboot. If I open the config by clicking on the icon in
    the config drawer, it seems to work. I have an A500 with 1 MEG and
    the Commodore 1680 modem. Once I get the configuration loaded, the
    program does seem to work.
    
    Also, in trying to use a script file to get logged in, there seems
    to be some quirk using the WAIT command. I only seem to get so far
    with execution of the script and then it hangs.
    
    Any ideas ???		Ray

	....."Viewer Opinion" title flashing... FLAME ON..... DIGA! is one woefull excuse (underline excuse) for a telecommunications packa. I got it as part of the big Christmas promotional bundle that Commodore was selling last year (you know, the one with PageSetter, WordPerfect, etc.?). I spent several evenings locked in mortal combat with DIGA! trying to do a lot of the same things that you're doing. I'm sure that they've fixed some of the bugs from the first release (the version I got struck me as beta-test quality), but the whole package still leaves a sour taste in my mouth. I've seen PD comm packages far superior to DIGA!. .......FLAME OFF ..."Viewer Opinion" title off... chris

	I second that opinion! I believe my version is 1.0 and I have experienced the same frustrating lock-up problems when using VT100 emulation. I have since gone to a shareware VT200 telecommunation package. Regards, Murray Steeves Customer Services Moncton, N.B. Canada
3051.3	I'M GOING TO GET FU**ED, HUH?	CREKE::DUDMAN		`Thu Nov 09 1989 01:44`	9
	I just purchased an Avatex-1200e modem and am starting to enter the fun world of downloading. But, if I do have v1.0 DIGA! what are my options. Should I get the timesharing communications programs referred to here and HOW? (since I won't be able to use DIGA!). Please, respond ............. Dying a slow painful death waiting........

	Assumingn that DIGA! is virtually non-functional (a safe assumption, based on the reviews), you should get HandShake or VLT, which are pretty popular and very robust. E-mail me and I'll arrange to get you a disk with HandShake on it. Ed Acciardi.~rw{

	RE: .3 Dunno about everyone else, but I get really irked when noters imply foul language through the use of asterisks. Do it on your local BBS, but not on a Digital Notes Conference. Or, resort to the sublime, as Ed did in .5.
