Conference 7.286::atarist

Whack is a multi-window multi-session VT300-like terminal emulator for the
Atari-ST.  It makes your Atari act a lot like a miniature VAXstaion.

Whack is available from
	PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]WHACK.ARC,WHACK.TXT
The .ARC file contains both a .PRG version and a desk accessory version.

Whack is discussed in this conference as topic #3, and was topic 309 and
414 in ATARIST_OLD.

The Microemacs text editor comes in many forms.  I endeavor to track the
absolute latest version of Dan Lawrence's version for the Atari-ST, VMS,
Ultrix, and to some extent, the Amiga.  Microemacs is multi-window, and
has a small extension language that can be used to write macros and
re-arrange the key bindings.

The latest versions of Microemacs are currently in

	PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.39G]

The current version is 3.9gJ, and will soon change to 3.9iJ or 3.9J, and
when that happens, the directory name will change accordingly.

Please read the conference VSG::MICROEMACS for more information on this
text editor.

I keep a file PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICAKJ.HOBBY.ST]STFILES.DOC which
contains a list of Atari-ST software that I keep available on PRNSYS,
along with a description of what each ones does.  I try hard to keep
this file up-to-date.

I have a VT100/VT200 terminal emulator that operates as a desk accessory
available in BOLT::USER1:[MINOW.PERSONAL.ATARI.UTIL.TTY]TTY.ARC.
If you want to fix bugs, the sources are in ...TTY.SOURCE].  They
compile with Mark Williams C, but presuppose access to the FED font
editor that has been widely distributed.

I also have a largish library of stuff taken from Usenet for the
past year in BOLT::USER1:[MINOW.PERSONAL.ATARI.NET].  The  directory
is in BOLT::USER1:[MINOW.PERSONAL.ATARI]NETDIR.TXT.

    Hans Kaiser asked for a spreadsheet program other than VC so I uploaded
    one called SHEET.  I only tried this program for a couple of minutes
    and it seems to be pretty nice, uses windows, has good online help,
    etc..
    
    SHEET files (including sample spreadsheets) can be found in
    		LIBRTY::USR:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST.SHEET]

It's nice to have this software available, isn't it?  Now, if you've
been wondering how to get it off the VAX an onto your Atari, turn to
topic number 52 where this is being discussed in some detail, including
references to where you can get programs for VMS and for the ST that
manipulate UUencoded files, ARCed files, etc, etc.  Particularly, I've
just posted 241 line note in 52.3 that attempts to gloss over the whole
problem, and the various techniques that are available.

Some other software that's been mentioned recently, but not posted here
in topic 9:

	6.2, 6.3, 6.7 - Getting rid of boot-block virus programs
	12.5 - Dungeon Master documentation
	33.* - Uniterm version 2.0c discussion, 33.1 for arc's, docs is 33.8
	39.2 - Better UUencode/decode

Also, I now admit to keeping SEDT archives on PRNSYS in
PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]SEDTDOC.ARC and SEDTST.ARC.  Fetch a
new copy of my STFILES.DOC file for details (see my earlier replies in
this topic). SEDT is discussed in topic number 11.

    Jeff, I tryed to copy the RAT.txt file outlined in STFILES.DOC and
    received the error message "insufficient privilage".  Can you please
    set protection on that file to world read?  I have an ATARI CX22
    Track Ball and want to use it instead of the mouse on my ST if
    possible.  Thanks in advance.

    My collection of bits and pieces, mostly taken from the rest of
    the net, can be copied from
    	UNXA::SYS$USERDSK:[HASLOCK.DOOM]
    
    PICSW7.ARC was taken from GENIE and is the latest version of the
    utility that I know about.
    
    ARC and ARCSHELL are there too.
    

    My collection of software can be found on:
    
    			PEOVAX::PEOVAX$DUA0:[LEWIS.ATARI]
    
    I will from time to time be adding to this directory as I aquire
    software.  Feel free to copy anything of interest.
    
    NOTE:  Sometimes I have to remove this PD software to free up disk
    space.  I try to restore it as soon as I can.  Hopefully we will
    add another disk to the system soon.  If you like, send me either
    a TK50 tape or magtape (1600 bpi) and I'll copy my software on to
    your tape and send it back.

XLISP is discussed in topic 56.

    
    You can find 1st word to postscript, Gem to postscript and HPGL
    to postscript in the following place.                          
                                                                   
    Note HPGL to postscript is a VAX program, the other two are ST's.

Organization: Lake Systems - Milwaukee, WI
 
For those who are wondering, here's the latest index from netlib@lakesys:
 
 
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
           lakesys netlib index - archives.atari - Atari ST files
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 
NOTE: All files are ARCed and then uuencoded with Dumas' implementaion of 
      uuencode, 'uue'.  It is compatable with 'uudecode', and it makes decoding
      multiple part uue files very simple. The ST binaries and a DOC file are 
      in uuxbin.uaa.
 
===============================================================================
 
                archives.atari would like to express our thanks to
            Steven Goodman, Owner and System Administrator of lakesys!

Following Questions : * Can somebody give the exact mail format through
                      DECWRL to get these archives. 
		      * What is netlib ? Is it one exact location or
                        general term for libraries in the network?
                      * Are there other archives than atari.st on lakesys?

    RE 9.12,
    
    Directory is now available, I had made the files World read, but
    not the directory, you could have copied, (if you knew what to copy),
    but not take a directory. I have now made the whole directory world
    read.
    
    Ever so sorry!!!!  Pat K.
    

    RE .13,
    
    I've no idea. I've asked the question in this conference before
    with no useful response. It's a shame since if we could use this
    archive server, there'd be less need for keeping ST software on
    our net and also there would be a constant flow of new PD software

       I've tried

       decwrl::"lakesys!netlib@csd1.milw.wisc.edu"

       and managed to retrieve the latest gulam and the index. Some
       other I tried did not elicit any response. If all else fails send
       mail to

       decwrl::"lakesyss!martin@csd1.milw.wisc.edu"

       he did respond to one of my queries.

    Thanks. I'll give it another bash!

    I succeeded in getting some files from the lakesys archive.  It
    appears that our request messages get lost on the way there some
    times.   Just save a copy of the request, and resend it if you don't
    get what you asked for in about three days.

Here is a desk accessory for printing bitmaps on the TOSHIBA P321 and
compatible printers.  It can print text files or graphics from the
MONOCHROME ST screen.

And most important, when loaded, it replaces the ALT-HELP print-screen
function with one that drives the Toshiba.

Text files can be printed in a variety of Toshiba fonts and renditions.

Graphics can be printed in various scale factors from 1 to 24.  In
larger scale factors, you can also select a grid width to help identify
individual pixels.  Never set this to be >= the scale factor.

Settings for output port, bitmap scale factor and, negate bits from the
accessory's form will be used with ALT-HELP.  Grid is forced to 0.  To
set defaults without printing anything, hit cancel, it will remember
the settings.

Sources available by request.  Non-desk accessory version also
available.  Please open a new topic if you wish to discuss TOSHIBA.ACC,
don't clutter topic 9.

    GFA-BASIC TO  C CONVERTER  and some C files (example of blt-copy
    for Lattice C ) can be found in ZUR01::USER4:[KRAUS.PUBLIC] in 
    GFA2C11.arc. Version of ARC.TTP 2.51 also included. I need to convert
    some GFA-basic calls to C. This file can also be founfd there..

    I modified Jeff Lomickay's Toshiba driver to support the NEC P2200
    printer. It has the same functions as the Toshiba driver (See 9.20) and
    can be copied from :

        The latest version of VMS/Unix Zmodem is available at:
        
                Pno::64k_Device:[64k.sandersb.st]
        
        It is contained in the arc file RZSZ.ARC.  This file contains the
        sources, written in C, along with other sources including a
        generic Zmodem program and a header file - zmodem.h.  While these
        are VMS/Unix specific, they can be used to create machine
        specific zmodem software.
        
        The instructions to create executables are contained in sz.c and
        rz.c.  See note 216 for a discussion of X/Y/Zmodem.
        
        You will also find a VMS version of ARC (5.12 I think, copyright
        states only 1985 and 1986) - ARC.EXE
        
        These files will be available a short time (like a couple of
        weeks) due to disk quota restrictions.  If you do need to acces
        them and they are no longer there, contact me via mail and I will
        make them availabe again.
        
        Please limit you file access' to before 11:00 AM EDT, between
        3:00 PM and 4:00 PM EDT and after 7:00 PM EDT.  (We are on
        Mountain Standard Time as we don't observe daylight savings time,
        thus it puts us in the Pacfic Daylight Time zone or 3 hours later

Announcing the latest and greatest XMODEM (and Ymodem) for VMS!!!

This Xmodem program does Standard Xmodem, CRC Xmodem, Xmodem 1K (sometimes
called Ymodem), Ymodem Batch, and MODEM7 (not tested as of this posting).  It
will write a log file with estimated and actual 'characters per second'
transmitted (in sys$login:xmodem.log). 

The kits are located in the following 2 directories:

	CVG""::WORK1:[CAMPANELLA.KITS]XMODEMVMS.BCK
	SMAUG""::USER1$:[LINDSEY.AMIGA.PUBLIC]XMODEMVMS.BCK

The .EXE file is in the kit, but is also separated out in these directories
(XMODEM.EXE) for those of you who do not want/need the sources too. 

CVG:: is in Salem, NH.  SMAUG:: is in Littleton, MA.

Please report bugs to CVG::CAMPANELLA and SMAUG::LINDSEY

NOTE: This note has been distributed in many notes files.  In the future, the
developers will most likely post any updates to this kit to the KERMIT, AMIGA,
and APPLE_COMPUTERS, (and possibly VAXPAC) notes files only.  Those of you who
monitor these conferences may copy the updates to other conferences as you
wish.


To unpack the .BCK file after copying, type 

	$ BACKUP/LOG XMODEMVMS.BCK/SAVE *

To use the program, define a symbol to point to the .EXE file:

	$ XMODEM :== $yourdisk:[yourdirectory]XMODEM

To get help on all the options, simply type XMODEM

Examples of binary XMODEM transfers:
$ XMODEM -rb filename	! receive a file in Standard Xmodem mode
$ XMODEM -rbc filename	! receive a file in CRC Xmodem mode
$ XMODEM -rbck filename	! receive a file in CRC Xmodem mode w/ 1K packets
$ XMODEM -rby		! receive files in Ymodem Batch mode

$ XMODEM -sb filename	! send a file in Standard Xmodem mode
...
$ XMODEM -sby filename	! send file in Ymodem Batch mode


This program is a port of an Xmodem program received from the USENET.  The
original sources and the most recent sources are both available.  Modifications
should be made after consultation with the authors (they would like to
coordinate things).

        Adaptive Spectral Estimator (or ASE) is a program that simulates
        the spectral characteristics of a described signal.  This program
        will transform a time domain signal into the frequency domain.
        Signals are described to the ASE in the form of signal
        descriptive parameters.  The user may describe the signal of
        interest using the following descriptive
        characteristics/parameters:
        
                . Timebase.
                . Carrier.
                . Phase type.
                . Amplitude.
                . Duration.
                . Position.
                . Phase.

        A very complete User's guide is included along with a quick
        cookbook on how to get started with ASE.

    A new version of VMSSWEEP (a VMS de-ARC program) is now available

Note 1954.0               New version of VMSSweep V3.4                No replies
CLO::COBURN "When will THEN be NOW? ...SOON!"        20 lines   5-DEC-1988 22:27
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    This note is to announce a new version of VMSSweep. V3.4 has added
    support for the newest compression method used by ARC (V5.2) and PKARC
    - Squashing.
    
    I have finally found an ARC file that uses the new Squashing
    compression of ARC (and PKARC). I have tested the support in V3.4 of
    VMSSweep and it seems to work OK for Squashing. 
    
    The new version of VMSSweep can be found at:
    
    CLO""::DISK$USER1:[COBURN]VSWPV34.FOR
    
    There has been problems detecting truncated ARC files (VMSSweep loops
    forever). I believe that I have fixed this. Please let me know of any
    problems.
    
    PLEASE NOTE - VMSSweep is designed to work for most RMS file formats,
    the main format that it will NOT read correctly is Stream_LF. You must
    convert the ARC file using the CVTARC program. Also, VMSSweep is a way
    to *examine* ARC files on a VAX running VMS before downloading. 

        The following are available until the end of 1988. After that
        they will be made available by sending E-mail to me.

The Sozobon C compiler is on PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[SCC], and is
discussed in topic 340 of this conference.   This is SOURCE and
executable for a free C compiler for the Atari ST.

I have various things for the ST on my machine.  The directories are
many and unorganized.  They(the ATARI directories) 
should all be world readable.  If not, please let me know what you can't get.

Try the following for various things:

dir NORGE::B$:[ATARI]*.DIR, *.*

and 

dir NORGE::B$:[ATARI.LEIGH.CHAD.LEIGH.ATARI]*.*,*.DIR

It is a dumb story about the long directory tree, so don't ask :-)

No guarantee, warranty or whatnot is hereby expressed or implied.  Some of
this stuff is also pointed at by other folks.

Please note:  A few things are note Public Domain but rather DEC Internal Use
Only (like WHACK and BULKDUMP/BUMP), please do not misuse the privilege
of this software by sharing it with friends outside of DEC.

Thanks

Hi

Feel free to look at the stuff I mentioned on NORGE at any time.  Please
take anything you want at any time if such takes are small, 1 or 2 files
done serially.  For large transfers, please wait for the times before about 
7:30 and after 5:00 pm (17:00)  EST.

Like I said, please don't hesitate to look or take a few files *at any time*,
before, during, or after hours.  It is when I get 5, 6 or 12 links on me at
once copying files that I run into problems.

Thanks

Chad

 The ST-TEX version uploaded by James "Kibo" Parry is available in ARC
 format from

    IJSAPL::PSQ:[PUBLIC.SOURCES.ATARI.TEX]*.ARC
    
 The ARCs can be downloaded to the ST and de-ARCed with older ARC versions.
 
 It was announced also in TeXHaX Vol 89 Issue 1

 Theo

The following is a list of PD ARC files for the ST which reside at
HIM1.CC.UMICH.EDU (35.1.1.43) on the ARPAnet. I will not download
them all to my area!  To start, I will download reasonable small
requests to VINO::PORT:[BHAMILTON.UMICH]. This will have to be on
a 'when I can - as long as I can' basis.

I have no way of getting sizes or descriptions.

Send mail to VINO::BHAMILTON and we'll see how this goes.

    I just took a copy of gulam405 from USENET and placed it in
    HJUXB::SYS$USERDSK:[HASLOCK.DOOM]GULAM405.ARC
    
    This version is dated May 1988 despite the internal claim that it
    is from 12/87
    
    I have checked that the archive is readable with VMSSWEEP.

A slight error in 9.43.  "Whack" is neither public domain nor
shareware. Portions of Whack are written using information that is
confidential and proprietary to Digital Equipment Corporation, which
requires that the program be copyrighted by Digital and labelled "for
internal use only". It's use and distribution should be limited to

Thanks for the collection!

	PS: The Help-Text follows:

	This program converts a Sixel-File into a Screen-Dump-File of an
	Atari-ST or vice versa. So you can generate Sixel-Files on a VAX
	take it to the ST, modify the picture e.g. with the STAD-Editor
	and bring it back to the VAX to print it e.g. within a document.

	The Program can be called from DCL with the following command:

		$ STCVT /toSixel  file1[,file2] [/Out=file3]
	or
		$ STCVT /toScreen file3 file1

	file1	is a ST-Screen-Dump-File (to be used e.g. by STAD)
	file2	is an optional 2.nd Screen-Dump-File to be concatenated 
		with file1
	file3	is a Sixel-File. If you don't specify the /OUT qualifier
		with /toSixel, file3 will be SYS$OUTPUT

	Defaults:
		If you specify one file or two files seperated by a comma,
		/toSixel will be the default.
		If you specify two files seperated by a blank, /toScreen
		will be the default.

This is the new version of the TeX dvi support programs.  This
distribution includes drivers for the atari monochome screen,
the atari slm804 printer, and the hewlett-packard laserjet
printer. 

    For a very short time I will make available the PD MODULA2 program that
    was recently posted on usenet. The catch is that everything is in
    German, but I thought it might be usefull to people who already
    know the MODULA language.
    
    The files are in LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]MODULA2.ZOO,.MEM
    Note that VMSSWEEP will handle ZOO files if you don't have zoo for
    the ST.

This is the long-awaited by-many-requested Modula-2 system.
 
The copyright (in German) says that it may be distributed as
long as contents and structure of the original diskette is
preserved and the system is used for non-commercial purposes
only. The first request is achieved by packing the files on the
original floppy with the ZOO archiving utility. Just regard the
archive file MODULA.ZOO as a one to one image of the original
disk. You need ZOO (or BOOZ) to unpack it on your ST. Read the
ZOO manual page carefully to do so!
 
Unfortunately the whole stuff is in the German language.
Perhaps some kind soul will translate it into English to please
the majority of readers of net news.
 
NB: Please don't bother me with questions or bug reports! I
don't know anything more about the system than you.

    Some ST files are now being distributed in ZOO format instead of
    ARC format. ZOO I believe is similiar to ARC but not exactly the
    same.
    
    If you want to be able to extract files from a ZOO "archive" you
    can use V3.5 of VMSSWEEP. Note that the older version (V3.4) of
    VMSSWEEP does not support ZOO files.

    You can copy VMSSWEEP V3.5 from,

    I just got BOOZ and ZOO programs for the ST from the SSYX archives.
    They can be copied from,
    	LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]BOOZ.*, ZOO.*
    
    If you are interested in getting files from the SSYX archives try
    sending a message to - DECWRL::"archive-server@ssyx.ucsc.edu"
    with a subject of JUST - help
    
    If you did it right you should get a mail message back from ssyx
    describing how to access there archives. They basicly mail you files
    when you request them. It only took a few minutes for me to get
    replies back from them, but they claim it may take up to a few days.
    
    I could post there help message here, but if you can't get the help
    message you won't be able to get anything else, so the help message
    is a good place to start.

    If you're interested in a shell for the ST you can get SYSTEM2
    (By David Wild) from LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]SYSTEM2.ARC
    
    I have not used this yet but it looks pretty extensive. The
    documentation is included in the archive. A bit of a description

SYSTEM 2 Operating Environment
--------------By David Wild---
 
System2 is public domain software, - you have my permission to copy it
freely for your friends - so long as you don't alter it & pass it off as
your own!
 
System 2 is an operating system shell for the Atari ST computer. It should
work without problem on all versions of the computer and TOS.
 
It's main features are:
 
 
  o  Unix Style command entry
  o  Full input/output redirection & piping
  o  Around 50 built-in commands
  o  Ability to quickly recall the last 10 commands typed
  o  Only takes up around 45K of memory
  o  Aliasing and variables
  o  Mini programming language with IFs and GOTOs
  o  Built in expression evaluator
 
To run System2, double click on the SYSTEM2.TTP icon. Full documentation
is provided in the file called MANUAL (about 70 pages long), and can
be accessed by using the help command. For further details on using
System2, type one of the following (& press RETURN at the end) when in
System2.
 
                    HELP ?
                    HELP INDEX
                    HELP INTRO
 
Alternatively, the file SYSTEM2.DOC contains the manual in straight ASCII
format.
 
Included with System2 are the public domain utilities MicroEmacs, a text
editor, and the Eternal ramdisk.
 
System2 was written using Mark Williams C and assembler by:
 
                    David Wild

                    England
 
                    JANET EMAIL : WILDDJ@UK.AC.ASTON.VAXB
 
If you have any ideas for improving the program, or have any problems,
please drop me a line. 
 
If you register with me at the above address by sending me your name,
address, and 12 pounds sterling (may be more overseas), I'll send you the 
following...
 
  o  A full, 80ish page Laser printed manual
  o  A disk containing...
       The latest version of System2
       FULL C and assembler source code
 
I hope you get some enjoyment out of the System2. Feel free to copy it
for your freinds, but please include this READ.ME file. Please let me know
what you think of the program!
 
Bye for now,

    Hello - Can anyone help me to find the latest version of microemacs
    for the ST ?. I have looked where Jeff's file suggested but the
    given directory doesn't exist, I would also like ARC for the ST
    end !.
    
    Thanks for any help,
    
    		Andrew...
    
    

    There is a version of arc for the ST in
    LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]ARC.TTP,.DOC 
    although it works fine it is not the latest version. The newer version
    (V5.21) supports one more compression technique.
    
    All of the MicroEmacs files are in prnsys::released_tools:[microemacs]
    
    	Ray

    Ok, I felt guilty posting the availability of an OLD version of
    ARC. So I just grabbed the latest version I know of (5.21b) from the ssyx
    archives. I have left it in the archive this time. The files are-
    LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]ARC.ARC,.DOC,.MEM
    
    	Ray

    The following files have been added to
    	VINO::PORT:[BHAMILTON.UMICH]
    
    A68.ARC
    BICLOCK.ARC
    CCPRINT.ARC
    MOUSEDBL.ARC
    MOUSESPD.ARC
    PRINTQUE.ARC
    STDCAT40.ARC
    STRTUP15.ARC
    ZMDM_BIN.ARC
    ZMDM_SRC.ARC
    

    The following files have been added to
    	VINO::PORT:[BHAMILTON.UMICH]
    
    APLWS.ARC
    APPLEEMU.ARC
    BATCH.ARC
    DESKPAK.ARC
    ETERNAL2.ARC
    SOLAPAK.ARC
    SPECPICS.ARC
    UTERM20E.ARC
    

    UNITERM 2.0-009 is now in
    	LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]UNI20E.ARC 
    The readme's listing the changes are in UPDATE.ARC in the same
    directory.
    
    Has anyone download the version of Uniterm from Buzz's UMICH directory?
    If so what edit level is it?
    
    	Ray

    RE. -.1
    
    I looked at the edit level the other night and I think it was 002
    
    
    Stephen.

If you have trouble getting files from PRNSYS::DUA1:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST],
check you network database.  PRNSYS has moved to address 5.199.

    I have a copy of zoo.man from Ray's zoo.arc.  I printed it out,
    but it's a mess to read.  It's full of LF's but no CR's.  How was
    it produced and how can I make it legible?
    
    Thanks.
    
    Theo

    On the VAX use VMSSWEEP and type the command "K" before exctracting
    ZOO.MAN with the "E" command.
    
    If use MicroEmacs on either the ST or VAX/VMS you can edit ZOO.MAN
    and make a change to it (any change just so ME will write it out,
    I just type a space and then delete it), then have ME write the
    file out to disk.
    
    	Ray

    My files have been moved to another structure. The new area for access
    to the UMICH ST ARC files is:
    
    VINO::WINO:[BHAMILTON.UMICH]
    

    I just got a new VKiller (Version 2.20 May '89) off of Usenet. For
    those who do not read Usenet it can be copied from
    LEDDEV::DISK$USER9:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]VKILLER.ARC, .INF 

    In case you are not familiar with VKiller - VKiller is the ST Virus
    detect and kill utility. It runs in medium or high resolution. If
    you buy, borrow, copy, or trade disks for your ST you SHOULD most
    definitly have and use this program. It currently detects 15 kinds
    of viruses. Not only does it check disks for the viruses, it also
    checks to see if a virus is currently active on your ST (ie: in memory).

    	Ray

    Hi,
I uploaded a PD program. If it is placed in the auto folder on your
harddisk, it will ask you for a username and password before you can
continue to work with the ST. Maybe useful for the people that have
their ATARIST in the office, where everyone can access the ST. In the
future there are plans to include the program in ROM.
You will find the archive on
    
                MUNEDI::SYS$PUBLIC:LOGIN.ARC

    Hello Ray !
    I am very interest at this program but i haven't a connection to
    the net with my MEGA ST.Please, could you copy this program for
    me ?!? Give me your location and i send you a disk.

I was going to wait until I had more solid information one way or the other
before posting anything about this, but it is indeed a distinct possibility.
Seems that the business types upstairs have decided that 20 megabytes of
Atari software isn't a very good use of University equipment.  I am looking
into alternate locations for the archive and will post a message here if/
when I come up with something; hopefully I will have a new place for it
within a couple of days.

    Hi Ray,
    
    I get 'insufficient privilege or file protection violation' when
    I try to access oldtmr::$1$dua8:[wallace.st.download.temp].
    
    BTW, I assume the banner prog is OK with hirez, but do you know

    Thanks,  Theo

    My direct access to the UMICH archives is now severed.
    
    I'm now looking at access to the files via a mail server. It looks like
    anybody on the net can get these files via mail. I don't know if 'we'
    want to establish a public depository for downloaded files or not. The
    same question came up when vnews became available to many.
    
    For now, I will put any files I get from the Terminator archive into my
    UMICH public area, but will not be announcing them in this note.
    

The attached describes how to get PD Atari files via mail from the
Terminator system at the University of Michigan.

		The Terminator Atari Archive Help File
 
 
	Welcome to the Terminator Atari mail server. To use the server,
send a message to atari@terminator.cc.umich.edu. The subject line is
ignored. The body of the message should contain, one per line, any of
the following commands. Each of the commands sends its output back to
you via mail.
 
	"help"    This file.
 
	"index"   The latest index of the software. At the moment it
		  contains an "ls -s" listing of all the subdirectories.
		  Eventually, it will contain a short description of each
		  of the files.
 
	"send directory/filename"
		  This is the command that sends out files from the
		  archive. The server only lets you get files from
		  the ~atari hierarchy so you only have to specify the
		  subdirectories in the atari tree. You can determine
		  the path and filename from the Index file. For example,
		  if you wanted to get arc, you'd send a message with
		  a line in the body that looked like
			send archivers/arc.ttp
		  The program is then uuencoded, split into chunks that
		  are a bit less than 100k and sent out. 
 
	Terminator isn't a big machine, so take it easy when you are requesting
files. Please don't request more than about 400k of files a day and limit
requests to no more than three per message. When you receive those, then
you can send out another request. We'll run on the honor system unless it
becomes a problem. (ie I don't want to examine the logfiles unless I have
to...)
 
	The server doesn't respond to bounced replies intelligently
yet, so if you have problems with not receiving things you requested
let me know.
 
	Submissions are always welcome. Please mail them to

    RE .82
    Has anyone tried to use the Terminator archive this week, (Thursday,
    Friday.). I have sent three mails to the archive for an index, but get
    no reply. Is ther any magic in the way I have to address the archive, I
    am using:-
    
    		DECWRL::"atari@terminator.cc.umich.edu"
    
    Is this correct? Advice gratefully received.

    Pat K.

    The addressyou are using is correct. A little over a week ago I was
    able to get a half a dozen files from there. But friday I requested
    some files and so far have not received them.

I have gotten several files from Terminator today within hours of requesting them.

    Has anyone gotten PACK.PRG from comp.binaries.atari.st? I missed it

    Sorry about that...  My directory did not have world read.
    It should be ok now.
    
    				Carl.

For a short time (a few weeks) I will make available the five archives
which make up the ANA MODULA2 distribution which was recently posted on
USENET (also available on GENIE).

If you grabbed this off of USENET and had trouble DE-ARCING ANA_M2_2.ARC
then grab the one from this directory as it does not have a bad header like
the original from USENET (all the files are intact).

The files can be copied from -

    re .-1
    
    If you are referring to my UMICH area on VINO:: see note 9.99.
    
    If you are referring to the 'real' UMICH on terminator, I understand
    that an abuser (high volume requests for transfer) has caused the
    management to keep it down for a while.

    I have got it now thanks. I must read the error messages in future.
    After a disk clear out I left my arc directory protected against
    me.
    
    Sorry!

    I get quite absorbed playing tetris, but I don't know the rules.
    The object seems to be to pack the bricks as tightly as possible.
    Dropping bricks from a height knocks out a layer or two, thereby
    allowing more bricks to be used and so getting more points.
    
    But I haven't figured out the significance of different coloured
    blocks.  
    
    If anyone can tell me the rules I'd be obliged.
    
    Thank you.
    
    Theo
    

    The object of TETRIS is to create solid horizontal lines of bricks,
    whenever one of these is completed it will disappear. The colours
    are only there to make the game look pretty, they have no (as I
    can remember) other signifigance. Dropping bricks is there to let
    you speed up the game if you can see that the brick is aligned where
    you want it.
    
    Tony
    
    PS
    	Have you seen HEXRIS for decwindows?

I understood that dropped bricks counted more points than ones that you
let fall.

I am looking for a copy of PKUNARC.arc, it was available from UMICH but
    since our link was severed, I can't get to it.  I also would like
    a copy of the Quick 1.6 Demo, location unknown.  If anyone can help me
    out  with these, it will greatly be appreciated.

PKUNARC.ARC and QST16D.ARC,.INF can be copied from
OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]

PKUNARC is from the PANARTHEA QUICK ST demo is from a very recent USENET
posting. 

	Ray

Just a reminder, it is VERY easy to get files from the PANARTHEA archives.
When I read the note about wanting PKUNARC I sent the following mail message-

	From:	OLDTMR::WALLACE       2-NOV-1989 12:21:06.64
	To:	nm%DECWRL::"archive-server@panarthea.ebay.sun.com"
	CC:	WALLACE
	Subj:	

	send binaries/volume1 pkunarc


And a minute later received a mail reply which contained the uuencoded
PKUNARC.ARC file.  If you want to know what files exist in the archive you can
send this message -

	From:	OLDTMR::WALLACE       2-NOV-1989 12:21:06.64
	To:	nm%DECWRL::"archive-server@panarthea.ebay.sun.com"
	CC:	WALLACE
	Subj:	

	index binaries
	index sources

And just sending the one line message "help" will tell you all you ever wanted
to know about using the archive.

The panarthea archives contain all the files that have been posted to the
usenet groups COMP.BINARIES.ATARI.ST and COMP.SOURCES.ATARI.ST. The archive is
kept quite up to date.

One thing to keep in mind if you are going to browse through the list of
available files, look through the list backwards. The reason for this is that
old versions of programs are not removed the archive and the old versions are
towards the front of the list. This will keep you from sending for a program
only to find out that there is also a newer version of the same program.

The response time from panarthea is not always under a minute as I got today,
sometimes it takes a few hours or may not be mailed untill evening. You can
assume if you don't get a reply by the following day that you did something
wrong. Some mistakes panarthea will tell you about, others cause you to just
not get a reply.

ETERNAL2.ARC is in OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]

If you are not familiar with ETERNAL, it is a popular ram disk which survives
reset (after pushing the reset button, the files will still be intact on the
ram disk). V2 of ETERNAL works on megas.

Thanks for the quick resonse, and the information about panarthea.

    Due to popular demand I have 'uploaded' two pieces of software.
    
    Firstly, in 'ARC'ed format are two Emulator's. Both by GFA Data
    Systems, a 'MONO' on a Colour screen & a 'COLOUR' on a Mono screen.
    
    Look in KAON::GFA_EMUS.ARC
    
    I have only tested the 'COLOUR' on Mono screen but it worked well.
    
    Secondly, *NOT* 'ARC'ed, is the much talked about P.D. Midi 32 Track
    'Sequencer' by a Canadian whose name is something like Geoff Waddington
    (I forget the exact details). They came with nine (IMHO poor) example
    song files. I can upload them if required. 
    
    Look in KAON::MIDI.PRG & KAON::MIDI.DOC
    
    I'm only just getting to grips with this. The .DOC is useless. Does
    anyone know what the PUNCH option does ?
    
    This is the first time I've done this so it may not have worked.
    They will be on KAON for a *SHORT TIME ONLY* I would be grateful
    if somebody could copy them & give them a more permanent home.
    
    	Stuart P.

    I have MIDI.PRG and cannot really profess to using it much at all
    but surely PUNCH is PUNCH IN.
    
    Ie set the PUNCH point and play the song being recorded from the
    beginning. It will play until it reaches the PUNCH IN point and
    then automatically switch to RECORD mode allowing you to record
    from that point onward. I can't remember if you can set a PUNCH
    OUT point or not. If you can, it should drop out of record mode
    at that point and revert to PLAY.
    
    Poor songs and useless documentation or not, I give every praise
    to the author of the program for a useable MIDI sequencer that is
    PD. It is a great intro fro people just entering the MIDI arena
    without them having to spend BUCKS on commercial sequencing software

    I tried copying these programs, but when I tried to dearc them using
    VMSSWEEP.EXE, I came up with all kinds of errors.  Missing header
    info...
    
    I normally use VMSSWEEP.EXE to view the Arc's, this allows me to
    read any DOC's, and determine if I want to download the program.
    I know that VMSSWEEP isn't the best De-ARC program, but it works
    pretty good for my purposes.
    
    At home the only De-ARC program that consistently works on downloads
    from the Network, is PKUNARC.
    
    Has anyone else had problems downloading and then de-arcing?  Normally
    any other de-arc program i've tried gives me a CRC error.  PKUNARC
    always seems to work.

    Yeh,
    	I said I was new to this game ! Until a mail yesterday I didn't
    know how to test files once at the VMS end. I now have VMSSWEEP
    & yes they're duff. It seems I forgot to set file time binary AT
    BOTH ENDs when in Kermit.
    
    Please try again. I uploaded new versions at 8:40 GMT Today.
    
    Sorry for the inconvenience caused.

All of my DUA1:[LOMICAKJ.HOBBY.ST] files are now on DUA2:.

I really should define a logical name for all this.

    re .115
    
    Well, only one of you spotted the other deliberate mistake !-)
    
    The necessary MIDI.RSC file is now on KAON:: as well !
    
    Sorry, (again),

Since it's Christmas time, here's a gift for you all...

I am making available about 2.5 megabytes (closer to 3.5 or 4 meg once you
de-arc it) of PD ST software in:
	OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST.TEMP...]*.*

Most of the files are in [wallace.public.st.temp] but there are a few
subdirectories to TEMP.  A directory listing of the files can be found in the
file FILES.LIST for your browsing pleasure.

There are some sources (ie: the .SHAR files) but mostly binaries (ie: the .ARC
files) and I think a few files which are just documentation of sorts. Most of
the .ARC files have a .INF file of the same name which gives a brief
description of the program (the .INF files are actually the USENET headers).

Most of these files have been collected off of Usenet over the past year or
so. So if you regularly get the programs from usenets comp.binaries.atari.st
and comp.sources.atari.st then you may already have these.

These files will only be around for a couple of weeks, so if you want 'em grab
'em quick.

If anyone needs the V4.x of the ICD utilities they can be copied from
	OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]ICDV40.ARC

You MUST have an ICD host adapter connected to your system to use this
software, the driver enforces this requirement. ICD makes this software
available on GENIE and COMPUSERVE as well as their own BBS, but this should
be a little more convenient for some of you.

    I get a 'login information invalid at remote node' error when I try
    to access oldtmr::$1$dua8:[wallace.public.st...].
    
    Dave.
    

    
    I'd also like to browse when the problem is fixed.
    

OLDTMR was being upgraded over the weekend so it is possible that logins were
disabled or DECNET file access was disabled. Everything is working now soooo
please try again.

There were two files which did have their protection set wrong FILES.LIST
(which is fixed now) and READ.ME (which I have deleted). READ.ME was just a
file I extracted "temporarily" from one of the archives and forgot to delete.

Sorry you wern't able to download all those megabytes over the weekend.

I had a request some time ago for OPUS 2.2 so I have uploaded it and it
can be copied from OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]OPUS_22.ARC

Anyone interested in a replaced to STARTGEM can copy HEADSTRT.ARC from the
same directory. I've been using HEADSTRT to run NEODESK from the auto folder
and it works great. The .INF (configuratation) file for HEADSTRT is easily
created with the companion program which uses the fileselector to specify
files to be selected from when HEADSTRT runs.

    Hi, I was inspired by Ray's opening up all his atari files.  So I
    decided to open up mine.  The files is this directory are un-tested by
    me.  They represent 3 years of gathering stuff off the easynet, thanks
    to everyone who put the stuff out there.  I don't know how long the
    files will be able to stay.  But you are welcome to them as long as
    they are there.
    
    The files are in:
    
    AQUA""::DV$DISK:[OCONNOR.PAPER.PERSONAL.ATARI]*.*
    
    There are about 480 some odd files in this directory.  Below follows a
    current list:

    Just in time for the holidays!
    
    I have uploaded a PD Music Studio song
    player and 23 Christmas song files to
    QARRY::[BHAMILTON.PUBLIC]MSXMAS.ARC
    
    The player will play to the ST speakers and/or to the MIDI port.
    It only runs under medium resolution.
    Enjoy!

    Games for Christmas....
    It would be nice to gather some games off of the NET in time for
    the holidays.
    Can anyone point me to a location for this entertainment software?
    
    Thanks
    
    Ken

    Hello Joe, in your directory there's a lot of files with extension
    WHR.
    I newer saw that kind of file extension before....
    
    Please tell me what it is.

    Regards Hans.
                                            

    Hi Hans,
    
    If you read the .whr files you'll find that they are pointers, mostly
    to other easynet addresses for PD software.
    
    Joe
    
    

    Why do I get "Remote Node Unknown" or "Error in device type or
    inappropriate device for operation" messages when I try to copy from
    OLDTMR, PRNSYS or AQUA?  I have copied from QARRY without any trouble.
    
    -Robin.
    

I checked the node number for PRNSYS on SNOC02 and it appears to be
correct.  I did move my ST files to DUA2, so a:

	"$ DIR PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]"

from SNOC02 should come up with something.  Are you really using SNOC02,
or some other node?

Sounds like you need to add OLDTMR and AQUA to your node data base and update
the node number for PRNSYS (Jeff's listed this in a couple of notes) in your
node data base. Both things are done using NCP.

	Ray

    Thanks, Jeff, I tried from SNOC02 and it worked OK.
    My local VAX is ADOMV1, which does not have an up-to-date network
    database.  SNOC01 is the main system in Sydney that I log onto, and so
    does have up-to-date info.
    
    One other question - I know what ARC is, and have the un-ARCing
    routines - what is UUE?  Is it something similar?  If so, where is the
    unscrambling routine?
    
    Regards,
    Robin.
    

Read XFERINTRO.TXT, it explains UUE.

I have TOS executables for UU encoding and decoding in
PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]UU*CODE.TTP.

    I have put some hamradio stuff on CMOTEC::$1$DUA1:[JAMES.ATARI.RADIO].
    There 4 .ARC files but I think there is a problem with them, some
    text files which seem to be alright and others which I don't know.
    I put them on a disk at home which was formatted using ps2form,
    brought them in and put them onto the system using pcdisk and a
    VAXstation 3100. I'd be interested as to why the .ARC doesn't work
    (I get "record too long" errors). I can't put these files in the
    ham radio depository until I know if the work.
    ...Howard
    

PCDISK CORRUPTS binary files on an "upload" (export in pcdisk terms). This is
one of the outstanding bugs in PCDISK which I have mentioned in another note.

The other binary files in your directory (.TOS and .PRG files) are probably
bad as well (assuming you used PCDISK on them as well).

	Ray

    I should have mentioned in .140, the commercial demo HA.ARC in fact has
    demo's of several of Digita International's packages, not just home
    accounts.
    
    There's also demo's of DAYBYDAY a 'time manager' tool, Digical, a
    spreadsheet, mailshot plus, and labelling program.

Per some requests I am making the following files available from
OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[wallace.public.st] -
	COLRBOOK.ARC	Easy fast color the picture. Very easy to use for young
			kids. Also has some advanced features for older users
			including drawing your own pictures and changing the
			color pallete.
	KIDPUB.ARC	Very simple kids desktop publishing program. Basicly
			lets them type on the top half of the page and draw a
			picture on the bottom half of the page. A document
			constists of up to 5 pages. This is one of the 
			"KidProgs" by D.A. Brumvil (Sorry I forgot the spelling)
	NEOV9.ARC	Neochrome version 0.9 (the last PD version of this
			color only drawing program). Includes documentation
			for those who have the program but no documentation.
	RSFLIP.ARC	This is an Etch-a-sketch Animator type program. You
			draw any number of small frames and the computer will
			play them back like a movie animation. It is pretty
			full featured, copy/shift/insert/delete frame, etc..


  Ray

    I stumbled across .112 quite by accident. I even tried following the
    instructions ... and they worked. I got a file almost instantly
    describing how to send in commands to the archive server. So I did, and
    received a mail with a) a covering note, and b) the text a monkey
    normally produces when trying to write HAMLET.
    
    The covering note does not explain how to turn the latter into
    something meaningful. Can anyone provide, or point me in the direction,
    of some super-easy but comprehensive noddy guide. I'd prefer to end up
    with separate files on VMS. If the unpacking needs to be done on the
    ST, then that's okay too. 
    
    Many thanks in advance.
    
    Carl

Things in .UUE and .Uxx format are UUencoded files -- they are in printable text
format.  Of course it doesn't look like anything -- just random characters.  It
allows files to be mailed by dumb mailers.  You can UUdecode them both at the
Vax level and on the ST.  Note 9 (this note) lists software for the Vax that
will do it (probably also for the ST).  I don't know what reply lists it 
however.  Usually after UUdecoding them they are still in .ARC or some other
file compression archive format.  There are also programs for both VAX and ST
to unpack those.  VMSARC and VMSSWEEP are two that come to mind for Vax end.

back to .UUE   that is a single file.
.Uxx (I think UAA UAB UAC etc.) are multi-part files.  You need them all
before you decode them

good luck

Chad

    
    I placed a new version of LOGIN.PRG and a completely rewritten
    AUTHORIZ.PRG in
    
           MUNEDI::$1$DUA3:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI]LOGIN.ARC
    
    LOGIN.PRG asks for username and password when booting from HD. It's
    also available as accessory for all color modes.
    AUTHORIZ.PRG or AUTHORIZ.ACC enables to change the password, add
    users, delete users and show all registered users with access to
    the HD. The programs aim for an Atari-system with HD where more people 
    have access to and not everybody is allowed to use datas on HD.
    
    Bernd                          

    Hi,
    VMSSWEEP aborts when trying de-arc the file. Input record too long.

    
    I 'arced' the eight or nine files (incl. sources) with the arcshell
    on the Atari, no error status while arcing. If I remember I place
    the pure files in the named location on friday.
    
    Bernd
    

    
    The pure files of LOGIN.ARC are now in
    
    MUNEDI::$1$DUA3:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI.LOGIN]*.*
    
    Bernd

Here are a few programs I just put on the VAX. None of them are realy new but
if you don't already have them now is your chance to grab 'em. They can all be
copied from OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]. The files are -

	SUPRBT55.ARC	- Super Boot V5.5, I don't use this but I beleive it
			  allows easy selection of what autofolder programs
			  and and desk accserories you want run at boot time.
			  I think it also allows selction of DESKTOP.INF but
			  I'm not sure.
	HEADSTRT.ARC	- Head Start, Another program for starting up GEM
			  programs at boot time. I use this to start NEODESK.
	PINHEAD.ARC	- Pin Head, Speeds up program startup time. I HIGHLY
			  recomend this especialy if you have more than 1meg
			  of ram and/or have more than one or two programs
			  in your auto folder.
	UNDELETE.ARC	- This program will show you a list of deleted 
			  files and let you pick which ones you want
			  un-Deleted. It will then recover/undelete the
			  program automaticly (without any further information
			  required by you). I've only used this once just to
			  try it out. It was easy to use and it worked fine.

These files are all STREAM-LF, so if you are going to use VMSSWEEP you will
need to run CVTARC on them. Same goes for KERMIT unless you know the correct
setting (which I always forget so I just CVTARC and use FILE TYPE BINARY).

	Ray

Hi,

	Since I have a number of disks with various pieces of software 
on it, and since it's (or I am..) not very well orginised, I'm looking 
for some kind of catalogue. What I would like is to scan all disks one 
by one and to get a list with all files and directories. It would be 
great if it would be possible to make reports from this catalogue 
(e.g. all *.prg files)

Is there some PD software for this purpose available ?

Floris

PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]BLITZ2.ARC contains the instructinos for
building the Blitz disk copying cable, along with the driving software. 
This archive also includes something called "turbo blitz" which runs
much faster than the ordinary blitz.  I don't know what difference there
is, if any, in the result.

    
    I uploaded a program for the Auto-folder which was published as
    a listing in ST-Computer some time ago. It enables Wordplus to
    print out graphics in Hi-dens with 24-pin printers.
    
    It's to be found in:
    
    MUNEDI::USER$DISK2:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI]1STPATCH.PRG
    
    Bernd
    

    
    
    It's not actually available software, but maybe of common
    interest, so I post it here.
    
    in    MUNEDI::USER$DISK2:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI]CONNECTORS.TXT
    
    you'll find a file which contains the pinouts of commonly used
    connectors associated with Video/RGB/Camera and monitors.
    I don't mind if anybody wants to upgrade the file with new
    additional connector pinouts, even not associated with displays
    but other stuff like RS232, Centronics, Floppy a.s.o.
    It could help some electronic persons in the conference.
    
    Bernd
    

    I've established a repository of Atari ST stuff (which I've tried to
    organize, pretty unbelievable!) that is primariliy oriented toward
    public domain things available off the Usenet.
    
    Top of the directory structure is:
    
    VERMNT::/usr3/atari
    
    There are files both in that directory (if they don't fit into a good
    category or are application to the system as a whole, and in
    subdirectories where I've tried to group things by functionality.
    
    This is an ULTRIX system so you VMS types will have to insure that you
    quote everything after the double colon (::) in order to prevent having
    the copy command barf at you.
    
    If for some reason the arc files don't copy intact try using the
    exchange comamnd instead of the copy command. The exchange command now
    supports copying over the network. Use help to learn more about
    exchange/network. This will do the right thing with binary files and
    insure that they don't get corrupted.
    
    Dan

    For a limited time, you can copy the disk cataloguing programs STDCAT
    V4.3 and File Finder 1.0 from the following location:
    
    	VMSKIT::SYS$TRANSFER:STDCAT43.ARC,FFIND_10.ARC
    
    Both are GEM-based and quite sophisticated. STDCAT (hi and med rez) is
    freeware. The author is working on V5. File Finder (med rez) is
    shareware. Use ARC 602 to extract the files.
    

PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]
	LHARC051.TOS, self extracting archive of yet another common
		compression/decompression program.  Used on:
	ALCHIMIE.LZH. The shareware ALCHIMIE Jr. MIDI sequencer.  Good
		stuff cheap!
	ALCHIMIE.DOC - this is also included in the .LZH, but included
		here so you can scan it to see if you are interested
		before downloading.

The .TOS and the .LZH are in "VAR 510" format, use KERMIT's FILE TYPE BIN,
or STRANSF to download.

	* Now world read - note the spelling of LHARC is not LZHARC! *

    re .157
    	thanks .. Gilliam !!

hy,

 Does anyone know where I can get Zmodem for the VMS end ?
	
	Arthur
	

The MACONLINE folks have it.  Check in RT95::MACONLINE

Chad

    Would anyone know of a package that allows two ST's to play backgammon
    via modem?  A friend of mine enjoys doing this through the BBS Genie,
    but it's getting rather expensive.  If he could connect directly through
    his modem to another PC to play, thus bypassing Genie altogether, it 
    would be a real money saver.

    Thanks for any information you can offer.

    HELP!
    
    	After reading note .112 i can now download stuff from the panarthea
    archive and unpack it on a unix system, but I cannot get ARC to de-arc
    the files after. Comparing them to other arc files with an editor, they
    look totally different. Is there something else I have to do first?
    
    	Any Ideas??
    
    	Thanks, Roger

>    archive and unpack it on a unix system, but I cannot get ARC to de-arc
The files as you get them from Panarthea are UUEncoded and you must UUDecode
them in order to get a .ARC file (not sure if this is what you meant by
"unpack"). Depending on what UUDecode program you use and how panarthea splits
UUEncoded files (I don't recall for sure) you may have concatenate all the
files and edit out the headers.

If you don't have a version of UUDecode then you can get the .C source from 
OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC]UUD.C

If you still have problems let me know.

	Ray

    Ray,
    
    	Thanks! that was just the info I needed. What had foxed me was that
    it was an  .ARC file that was the UUencoded. So, I had to UUdecode, run
    CVTARC over it and then unARC it. Simple.
    
    	Thanks a 1.0E6

   The CHMELEON.ACC is an accessory which can be switched to an other acces-

   place of the old one without rebooting or leaving your current applica-

   How to get it:
   Get HAN01::USERDISK1:[KUNTZE.EASYNET.ST]CHMELEON.ARC , deARC it on your 
   ST and if cou which produce more copies of CHMELEON.ACC like CHMELEO1.ACC,
   CHMELEO2.ACC and so on.
   
   Reboot your ST. You get an entry as CHAMELEON. Click it and you get a file-
   selector-box which defaults to boot-device:\*.AC? . Select the accessory 
   you want to load. If you press the left shift-key when clicking the ok 
   button, you only load the new accessory otherwise the accessory is loa-
   ded and executed.
   In you DESK dropdown menue you will see, that the CHAMELEON entry has 
   changed to an ARROW plus the normal name of the accessory you have loa-
   ded. So you can see, which accessories can be reloaded. If the accessory 
   has more than on entry, both entries are written in the same line sepera-
   ted by a slash. You can activate the second entry in the line by pres-
   sing the shift key whil clicking the accessory.
   
   If you which to reload the accessory, press <CONTROL><SHIFT> while 
   clicking the accessory entry. The CHAMELEON will reappear at this place.
   
   Some Accessories don't use XBRA and XNAM methodes. These cannot be reloaded.
   The unload mechanism is strikt. So, if you modify your system-font using 
   an accessory and you reload ist, you will get strage characters after a 
   while because the released memory is used again.
   
   CHMELEON.ACC cost you about 4KB of memory. 
   
   This is acceptable for me.

    Before I download stuff from Terminator that's already been done,
    has anyone already downloaded any of the .SND sound files yet ?

    
    
    
    
    I seem to be doing a lot of taking and no giving in this conference
    recently! So now to start rectifying that...!
    
    I've got a fair bit of PD stuff that's not on the net or Terminator.
    I'll start uploading it soon; includes Neochrome V2.1 (includes some
    really neat new options; and let's face it, it's always been the
    nicest art package on the ST, hasn't it ?!!!), California Raisins demo
    (including digitised "I heard it on the grapevine"!, some nice MUG
    utilities including some neat boot sector codes for flashy startups!
    AGT; a great adventure game language - really easy to use and produces
    very classy adventures in the Infocom style (if you didn't know better,
    by the presentation you'd think it WAS Infocom!).
    
    I've also got a Kate Bush and a Dr Who sample if anyone's interested.
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    
    				Jamie.

    OK
    
    I've uploaded Neochrome 2.1 (Neochrome Master) to :
    
    HEAVY::DEFOE$DKA100:[PUBLIC]NEOCHROM.PRG and NEOCHROM.TXT.
    
    A quick summary of the new features : Rasters, Load and save in a
    variety of different formats (Degas, IFF, NEO(!) etc). Up to 10
    different screens in memory at once. Animation (actually present in 1.0
    but undocumented). Ability to calculate the colours between two others
    (ie the colours required to make a smooth transition from one colour to
    another - useful if trying to achieve a "wash" affect).
    
    There's lots more, but that should be enough to give you the idea!
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    
    				Jamie.

    Arrggghhh! Why can't I write anthing in just one note these days! Must
    be getting long winded in my old age! Anyway, just a note(!) to tell
    you that with Neochrome I've included a .IFF picture from the Magnetic
    Scrolls game "Fish"... It's the title screen of a Secret Agent Fish in
    a Fishbowl! It's great to demonstrate the range of colours you can
    achieve with the new version.

Is there a copy of a program to unpack .ZOO files on the network somewhere ?
I assume the unpacking gets done at the ST end ? I'm looking to transfer files
from VAX to ST, not the other way (yet). I've got the following files, so if
any of these will cope with .ZOO files then I'm laughing (ho ho ho)

ST end:-

ARC.TTP
UNLZH172.ARC
UUDECODE.TTP
UUENCODE.TTP

VAX end:-

CVTARC.EXE
UUD.EXE
UUE.EXE
VMSSWEEP.EXE

I intend to copy from VAX to PC to ST. I've read all of the relevant notes,
so I think I know roughly what to do (yeah sure :-), but I don't think I
have a program to sort out the .ZOO files.

Any suggestions ?

Cheers,

    Derek. 

       You can get a VMS version that will de-zoo from
       timmii::DISK$SINK:[RDAVIES.FREE]ZOO.EXE;1
       
       Run it without parameters, it'll give you this:
       
       Usage: zoo {acDeglLPTuUvx}[aAcCdEfInmMNoOpPqu1:/.@n] archive file
       ("zoo h" for help)
       Novice usage:  zoo -cmd archive[.zoo] file...  where -cmd is one of
       these:
       -add -extract -move -test -print -delete -list -update -freshen
       -comment

    Hey,
    
    I've finally got something to post! :-)
    
    My atari area is:
    
    VINO""::MOET:[OCONNOR.PAPER.PERSONAL.ATARI]
    
    I've got a bunch of files there.
    
    My 2 latest are:
    
    Sherlock.arc - Makes you into a master detective and you have to solve
    a murder mystery, like CLUE (tm) but mouse drive and much better done.
    
    Tigdem.arc - This is DR. T's demo of the tigercub package.  It is fully
    functional except that you can't save sequences or print out scores.
    
    The .whr files are pointers to other files.
    
    Have fun

The Neochrome Master paint program made available in .191, is not the Atari
Neochrome paint program.  Neochrome Master is a public domain program written
by "Chaos, Inc".  I just wanted to mentioned it since when I first saw the
post I thought it was the commercial Atari version of Neochrome.

    Two more files in my directory :
    
    Maxidisk.arc - a ramdisk that compresses its contents and decompresses
    it again when it's accessed!
    
    Wanderer.arc - a boulderdash game. Doesn't run on my machine but I
    suspect I'm doing something wrong.

    If its any good, could someone make available the raisins demo and
    perhaps give a brief description of it here
    
    Thanks,
    
    Jonathan

    I'll do it, but I haven't had time recently to get the stuff on the
    net! I've got quite a bundle of stuff to upload.
    
    The Raisins demo is a load of "Californian Raisins" in a band playing
    instruments and singing to a digitised "I Heard it on the Grapevine".
    The sample quality is very good.

Here is a low res game with a few new twists on the "blast the ships out of
the sky" senerio:	OLDTMR::$1$DUA8:[WALLACE.PUBLIC.ST]BELLUM.LZH

	Ray

    Hi,
    in note 9.210 You point to your directory LOOKIN::DISK$USERS4:[VAXDSM.ST].
    I can't copy any files exept ST_ARCHIVES.DAT, the mess. I receive is, file 
    protection (on all other files).
    Maby it's ment to be so if not please let me know.      
            
    Hans.

Hi there,

All the ST files in the LOOKIN::DISK$USERS4:[VAXDSM.ST] directory are dummy
files which have a 0 block length. The reason for this is that LOOKIN
knows about lots of nodes around the world but has very little disk space.

On the other hand I have a local boot node that has much more disk space but
doesn't know about the rest of the world (it knows about lookin)

So I wrote a groovy little DCL command procedure that allows me to enter a
remote directory name and it will then copy across any ST type files which do
not currently exist in my local directory on LOOKIN. These I then copy across
to my boot node so that I have a comprehensive ARCHIVE library, but create
dummy (0 block length) files on LOOKIN so that when I run the command procedure
again for another remote directory it will not recopy the files I already have.

Make sense ?? GOOD !!!

I purposely made all the dummy files with NOWORD access to avoid people being
very disappointed when they see the groovy file of their dreams only to find it
is empty whn they copy it across.

    Let me know what you want and I'll make it available for a short while
    though I can't do this for hundreds of files at a time. You can mail me
    offline on COMICS::DSMMGR

Cheers,

Jonathan

    Hi,
    
    I've just fixed and downloaded my copy of HACMAN2.  If you have color
    and 1 Meg this game is a must have.  There incredible sound samples
    special ghosts.  Some don't even look like ghosts <hint, hint>.   
    
    Also I've added Ballzone to my area.  Ballzone is another Breakout type
    game with some interesting twists.  Ballzone appears to be a color
    game.
    
    My area is VINO""::MOET:[OCONNOR.PAPER.PERSONAL.ATARI]
    
    Have fun
    Joe

    I have down loaded HACMAN2 and LZARC501.TOS. When I ran LZARC501.TOS it
    dearced itself and produced 3 files - LHZARC.DOC is OK. Read-me is
    garbage and when I try running LZHARC.PRG TTP or TOS I either get TOS
    error 35 or a quick return to the Desktop. Does anyone have a version
    of LZARC that works on STFM which is about 3 years old. 1.2 TOS I
    think.
    
    Thanks in advance
    
    Kev.

    I found that I had a crc error on hacman2 and it aborted... anyone else
    have this problem ?
    
    I ran the LZARC501 on my STFM with no problems and mine was in the
    first batch of STFM's to come out so I doubt it's an OS problem in .-1.
    
    Cheers,

    As promised somewhere else in this conference, I've uploaded Fcopy 3.5
    to DEFOE::DEFOE$DKA100:[PUBLIC].
    
    Also, there's a program called DCSHOWIT. This program should be placed
    in the AUTO folder. It replaces the desktop SHOW utility when you
    double-click on a text file. It allows you to scroll up and down, print
    single pages etc. Also, double clicking on a .NEO or Degas picture file
    will display that picture.
    
    It's VERY good; apparently it's part of a complete suite of programs to
    replace various parts of the desktop called DCDESKTOP which will be
    release (I assume as shareware) in JAN/FEB this year!
    
    BTW did anyone grab NEOCHROME MASTER ? Are you using it ? If so, I'll
    upload a new version I got the other day...
    
    
    Cheers,
    
    
    				Jamie.

    Sorry to hear people are having trouble with HACMANII.  If you tried to
    download it last year, you shuold try again.  That file had problems. 
    I don't know about LZHARC.  I use LHARC with no problems on .lzh files. 
    I renamed it from LHARC.PRG to LHARC.TTP.  This allowed me to enter the
    filename parameters.
    
    Joe

    It worked ok for me last night. It really is a nice game! a 75 screen+
    version of pacman with loads of variants!

    Sorry I misspelt it LHARC is what I used. I have tried installing it as
    an application, and renaming it to TTP and TOS and It doesn't work. As
    an application I get Tos error 35 . As a TTP or TOS file it returns
    straight to hte desktop.
    Is there anyone who can point to another copy I can try.
    
    Thanks in advance

    Re 9.224 - DCSHOWIT & DCDESKTOP
    
    Double Click Software were exhibiting at the 16 bit show in London last 
    week.  I purchased a copy of DC UTILITIES Vn 2.0.  They were also
    selling DCDESKTOP, which, from the publicity material, appears to
    include DCSHOWIT.
    
    Their user manual makes it plain that DCDESKTOP is not shareware 
    and carries a plea not to pirate their software, and not to give it
    away or upload it to a BBS.  They bemoan the fact that this practice is
    currently widespread.  They also thank people for their support of 
    their previous products and shareware.
    
    I would like to feel comfortable that DCSHOWIT is in fact PD or
    shareware before seeing it distributed here.
    
    Alex
    
    

    Feel comfortable! It's PD.

The hangman game HANGOPUS can be copied from -

It runs in medium resolution.

Note 986.0 is the GEnie and Aladin topic.  986.4 gives the location of the
latest Aladdin terminal emulator for use with GEnie.

I've just finished a program that some of you should find helpfull. It is a 
point and grunt DX7/TX7 patch librarian. It's located at:

PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]dx7lib10.arc 

It allows you to save and restore your DX7 patch banks to your Atari ST. It
also allows you to create new banks by moving the voices around with the mouse.
It does NOT do any voice editing. And best of all, it was made to work with all
the patch banks in the MIDILIB area. Try it out and let me know what you
think!!

For those interested, there are similar versions for the DX-100 and the 
Kawai K1 about 80% completed. I can release those soon.

Thanks,
Jim

In comp.sys.atari.st I yesterday found a barrel-like utility to 
capture output to [parallel / serial port / monitor] into a file.

It works as described: run the program, then it installs itself, 
use CTRL/ALT/I to activate it and start capturing, CTRL/ALT/I to
end capturing and close the file.

One minor bug: if you press CTRL/ALT/I a second time before completing
the activation dialogue, then the system hangs. Well, I can live 
with that.

It's a short uuencoded file, so I put it into this note:
(The archive contains ICCA.PRG and README)

    I've just grabbed from umich the following file:
    
    SORRY.LZH - A complete implementation of the board game SORRY.  It has
    one small bug.  The bug can be gotten around by agreeing not to break
    the rules.  It runs in color only.
    
    
    Enjoy
    
    Joe

    
    This week I got the latest (and last, as the programmer states) version
    of TeX. It came in 11 diskettes, each with a bunch of packed .LZH files
    and an installation program. The pack consists of TeX document
    processing, Metafont drivers, font editor, Graphics program for TeX and
    a TeX CAD programm. Included are a lot of pictures, drivers, a shell,
    a.s.o. The graphic programs work with vector graphic and the document
    processing is able to include the pictures in the documents. Almost
    any format can be processed and almost any format (like HPGL, PS,
    a.s.o) can be used for output.
    You need one empty HD partition (it's for HD use only!) with about 
    15 to 16 MB free disk space (after installation there are about 1400 to
    1500 files on the partition). Don't ask me more, I didn't work with
    the programs so far 'cause it took me about 4 hours last night to 
    install them.
    I received the pack from a mail order company and it's stated as PD.
    The programs are in german language, however.
    
    If there's any interest in the pack I could make it available for
    a short period of time, due to the size. Some kind person with a bit
    more diskspace could copy it into his public Atari library...
    
    Please let me know,
    Bernd

    Thanks! Been trying to get this for ages!

If you copied MSHADOW from my directory prior to 1:30pm 18-Feb then you should
copy it again. The first file I put there was a corrupt archive. The there now
test out ok.

Okay, PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[ATARITEK]*.* contains the latest Atari TeK
from germany (I.E., in German).  It's 10,263 blocks of stuff!!!!

I haven't tried it yet.  I need to dedicate a hard drive to it, just
to download it and install it.  There's a readme.txt file that expains
the installation process.

The previous contents of this area (a smaller, earlier version) are now
in RELEASED_TOOLS:[OLD_ATARITEK].

Note that I am not familiar with this download foramt (fixed length 128
byte records).  I think it came from XMODEM.   I suspect that needs both
a "CVTARC U" followed by "CVTARC V" before downloading.  Test one file
first!  If I work it all out, I will convert these files to the most
useful form for downloading with Whack. (Var length 510 byte max).

>PS: Does anyone have the latest copy of ARCSHELL; the one which lets you uses
>ARC6.02's sub-directory option?

	SAM.ZOO		Checks disk for bad sectors and marks them bad in FAT.
	FTW.ARC		C functions for accessing directories.
	GETPATH.ARC	C code to break a path name into individual parts.

PageStream fonts!  I downloaded these from GENIE.  All are in
PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]:

ARCHIPGS.ARC - The "Architect's font".  This is a font of thin clean
lines, like the lettering templates you buy in stationary stores.  The width
table is a mess, but the font is pretty.

CLSSROM2.ARC - This is an update of the "Classy Roman" font.  Very usable.

KIBO.ARC - A very noce font - good width table, very readable.  Fairly
heavy weight.

UNIV_RMN.ARC - An update of Roman Univers that fixes the serifs that
"look like Gumby feet".  Also has new kerning information.  Subersceeds
any "univ" fonts you might be using now.  See the docs included.  This
is the ubiquitus "curly serif" font you see a lot of these days.  YOU
WANT THIS FONT even if you think you already have it.

WINBLK.ARC - Another fairly heavy font, but very readable and clear.

WINDZOR2.ARC - A copy of "Windsor" I think.  This is a "bottom heavy"
font.  Very, very nice.

Download and dearc into your "\PGSTREAM\PSFONTS", and then do a
"update" and then a "defaults" in your font manager in Atari ST
PageStream V1.8 to get access to these fonts.

It would be neat if we could use these in DECwrite...

I've just finished a program that some of you should find helpfull. It is a 
point and grunt Kawai K1 series patch librarian. It's located at:

PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]k1lib10.arc 

It allows you to save and restore your K1 patch banks to your Atari ST. It
also allows you to create new banks by moving the voices around with the mouse.
It does NOT do any voice editing. 

My primary goal in writing this program is PATCHES!! I WANT YOUR PATCHES!! I
hope we can get some patch exchange going over the net. If you have a K1 but
not an atari, see if you can find someone who does. If you are in the eastern
MA area, I may even volunteer my machine.

Try it out and let me know what you
think!!

Thanks,
Jim
    

Has anyone has any success unpacking the LZH files of TeX?  I can't get
them to disk in once piece.  I suspect the VMS file attributes.  Any
suggestions?

    
    I also put the TeX package to UFRCS2::DISK$FS_2:[FALKENSTEIN.TEX]*.*
    which is located in Munich/Germany for those from Europe.
    Included in that directory is the shell which packed the files on the
    Atari. So copy all DISK*.LZH to seperate floppies and another floppy 
    for the rest (which are packing programs and the shell). Then use
    ARCGSH.PRG, select LHarc with option "z" and unpack the DISK*.LZH on
    your Atari. I put those files to the net with a DECstation and NFT, it
    should work the same way back. Unpacking should be done on the Atari.
    If there are still problems, I upload the original disks (one directory
    on the VAX for each disk).

.LZH-archives on PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[ATARITEK] broken ???

After copying some of them, i tried every method i could think of to
convert and/or unpack them with no success.

Because none of the methods succeeded, i tried to look at the files in detail.
First try was to load them into the editor. If you do this, you will recognize,
that they all consist of one block of (~1024) bytes repeated many times. So
I would suggest something went wrong during upload.

Is there any way to upload correct versions of them, because i would really
like to install them ?

Harald

    
    Well, it seems that something went wrong during further packing of the
    original disks, although not a single error message was displayed.
    So this week I'll upload the original unpacked files into the directory
    mentioned in reply .254. They'll be in [...DISK1]*.*, [...DISK2]*.*
    a.s.o.
    Sorry for any inconveniance the packed files caused to you. Please copy
    the files within the next three weeks because disk space is a problem
    and I have to delete them then.

there are 162 files in 16 directories with a total of 14099 blocks. If you
download DISK1 to floppy, be sure to use a higher capacity floppy (820kB),
all other disks fit to 720kB. Contents of disk 1 must not be installed but
just copied onto HD (folder TEXDRAW). Disk 2 through 9 have their own 
installation programs (INSTALL.PRG) and disk 10 and disk 11 (TEX-CAD) have to
be installed with the self-extracting archives DOC1.PRG and DOC2.PRG after
the disk's contents had been copied to HD. The installation programs are in 
english, also some of the tools. TeX-document is in german.

Why invent new icons when there's a standard set that has been in use

PRNSYS::USER2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]ORIENT.ARC contains twelve NeoDESK
.NIC files of 64 icons each, which contain over 700 oriental

In the same directory, ICONVIEW.EXE can be used to preview these on VMS.

One catch - I have no idea when these symbols mean in English.  I
uploaded them to GEnie in hope that somebody would translate them,
ideally by replacing the Hershey number in the file name field with the
nearest english word.

re .285

Roger,

George Woodside's Virus Killer is still very hard to beat and he continues to
support it with new releases incorporating antidotes for new viruses.  There are
others available, but his appears to be one of the best in my mind.  It's a $10
shareware, I think (or at least, that's what I sent him last year).  Probably
available here or on GEnie or Compuserve for sure.

Hutch

>George Woodside's Virus Killer is still very hard to beat and he continues to
Agreed, but it doesn't do anything with hard disks (the original query was for
a hard disk virus program). On the other hand I have never heard of any
viruses on the ST which affected hard disks.

>available here or on GEnie or Compuserve for sure.
A new version was posted to USENET recently. I didn't keep it on the VAX as I
assumed anyone interested in PD/SHARWARE programs reads the
comp.binaries.atari.st usenet news group and would have grabed. If that's a
bad assumption and someone wants it, let me know and I'll upload it to my
public directory (note there is an old version of VKILLER there now).

	Ray

    
    "Sagrotan" checks out harddisks, and yes, there are viruses messing up
    the harddisk's bootsector. I had one recently and I had to reformat
    completely because all directory information was a total mess.
    Also link-viruses, which add their code to the program code, do a lot
    of harm, no matter if the program is run off floppy or disk.
    
    Bernd
    

    Thanks for the replies,
    	Bernd, is this "Sagrotan" PD, and if so is it available on the net?
    
    	Roger

    
    Yes, Sagrotan is PD. If I get my archiver working again, I'll upload
    it the next view days.
    
    Bernd
    
    P.S. Sagrotan is completely in German...
    
    

    
    
    the german version of SAGROTAN, a virus scanner and killer, is
    available as .ARC on
    
    MUNEDI::$1$DUS12:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI]SAGROTAN.ARC
    
    this piece of software scans bootsector viruses on both Floppy
    and HD. Link-viruses are scanned in a way that Sagrotan compares
    the program's datas with the ones stored in a library (currently
    >1,000) and alarms when the datas do not match. If you're sure
    that a new program is not infected you may add it to the library.
    Also your bootsector may be stored and restored from the library
    if it was infected later.
    
    Bernd
    

    Hi Bernd,
    
    as far as I know SAGROTAN is shareware and the newest release is V4.17.
    Which version did you upload? (README file says: V4.05?)
    
    Regards. / Hilmar.

    NOVA.LZH file.  It got deleted.  If there is a file which I have
    down-loaded and put in the club library.  I will usually delete when I
    run down on disk space.  After all Digital does want me to store stuff
    that is a lttle different that Atari stuff on these disks.  BTW, You
    can get own copy of both Brian's (ROST) and my files for yourself.  You
    can request them straight from umich.

>    Reply .276 - ARTST232.LZH (OLDTMR::1$1DUA8:[wallace.public.st])

Most files I put in my directory are transient, including ARTST. Some of the
files which I think are important for most people to have, like archivers,
virus killer, FOLDERxxx, PINHEAD, DLII, etc.., I try to keep there forever.

PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]SUPRA.ARC is the latest version of the
Supra disk drivers and formatting software, downloaded recently from GEnie.

(Thanks Bill for setting our readership straight whilst I slept.)

    Gathered from the four corners of the globe for everyone's delight
    and placed in a single repository, I have placed nearly 800 !! Atari
    PD type files. These have been 'sucked' from many (if not all) of the
    accessible accounts listed in 9.*.
    
    Needless to say this is taking up M-E-G-A-B-Y-T-E-S of space and so
    there is no guarantee how long it will be there. All the files are
    world readable so thre should be no problem copying them.
    
    Where is this treasure trove I hear you gasp in disbelief.... ??
    
    Type the following for a directory listing :
    
    dir decuk::"/usr/support/jwb/st"
    
    There is also a directory decuk::"/usr/support/jwb/st/new" which
    xontains the newest stuff I have gathered. 
    
    
    Have fun.

New LHARC, compression & archive utility.  This is the latest version
from GEnie that operates on .LZH files.  Seems to work better than any
of the others.

    
    
    re -2
    
    I have tried to get files from the DECUK bin using copy, they have come
    through in STREAM_LF format.
    
    IBMFMT and DCFORMAT
    
    I have bilfed them CVTARCed them I have stood on my head but can't make
    them unpack. any ideas ?

Hi,

	I don't know how many of you follow comp.sys.atari.st.tech, but
	a discussion of properly handling MIDI/MOUSE/KEYBOARD/JOYSTICK
	interrupts has been going on...  In an attempt to properly record
	MIDI data on the ST at high transfer rates, I wrote a handler.
	I decided that instead of using GEM, I'd try to write something
	a little better.  I've made some progress, but I haven't been
	able to dedicate as much time as I'd like to.

	Anyway, a simple demo program (very simple) can be found at:

	AIDEV::USER$M:[MISKINIS]M.PRG...

	It's just a non-functional display of 140 buttons, and a couple
	editable text fields...  The top 70 buttons are "spring" buttons,
	while the lower 70 are of a "lock/unlock" type.

	Clicking on a button or text will activate it....
	F10 will cycle though 7 of my favorite palettes...
	Shift or Control arrows move text cursor to begining or end...
	Return or clicking on an empty area clears text focus...
	ESC or CLR-HOME will erase...

	The software I'm working on is at a very primitave stage...  But
	I figured I'd post this little program for the heck of it...

	COLOR (medium resolution) only!

Feedback welcome!

    Hello...
    
    Before +posting my request in other conferences, I try this 
    conference first;
    
    Has anyone seen a Satellite Tracking programme (ST) for geostationary
    satellites, that is pointing out the direction/elevation for
    different TV-satellites at a specific location?
    
    cheers,
    /johan

    Tnx!
    I "call" you by mail!
    /johan

Welcome,
   I am collecting files for the STE.  I don't know how many I will be able to
keep since we supposedly have disk quotas of 50K blocks, but the quotas are not
turned on.  If the description has a '~' in it, that means I have not looked at
it yet.

If you have STE files you would like me to store, let me know and I'll keep them
as long as I can.

Directory VFOVAX""::SYS$USER2:[PATTERSON.PUBLIC.STE]

$$FILES.TXT	    This directory listing
AUTOEXEC.LZH	    Setup boot params.  Play bckgrnd sample. Script driven menu
BACKTRAK.LZH	    ACC to play Soundtracker(Amiga, ".MOD") in background

    Having recently pulled a great deal of software from the Usenet servers,
    I have written a simple command procedure to prepare them for proccessing
    with UUD.  It works for both BART (University of Mich.) and
    Twitterpatter (used to be Panmumblemumble).  Simply extract all the
    messages to files with extensions other than UA%.  I use AA,AB,AC,ect.
    Then process the files with:
	@<name> <scr>.A% <dest>.UAA

    It will split multiple parts from Twitterpatter, and correct the unix
    filename in the BART include.

PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]WINNER.LZH is the winner in Atari's STE
demo contest.  Note, it only works in color, and only works from the top
level of partition C.  It's LARGE, but it's a nifty demo, like a store
demo.

    Jeffery
    
    Boy,  that's a big ol' file.  Before I spend hours downloading it
    Is there anyway of testing the archive is good.  I don't want to
    waste two hours on a duff archive,  If you know what I mean.
    
    
    _Kev_

I uploaded with Whack/Stransf. I have tried it at home.  If you CVTARC
the archive, you should be able to ARC T the file on VMS.

    I copied the file over, put it into an ARC with no compression, and
    used XMODEM/ONEK to get it home.  The shell .ARC unpacked OK, and all the
    other file that were in with it worked fine, but using the 3 different
    LZH utils I have, I get either BAD CRCs, or unrecognised compression
    type LH5.

    Looking at all my other .LZH's that I have collected, I see that they are
    in LH1 format.  Which LZH util did you use to unpack it?

    Thanks,
    Jim Patterson

    Jeffrey,
    
    I have now got the archive at home and have extracted the files ok.
    
    Tell me, the program 3D16.PRG runs ok,  but I'm having problems running
    DEMO2.PRG.  All this program seems to do is create a file called
    TEMP.DIR and then stop with the error message " ERROR 008 ".
    
    I am running the file from partition C, In it's route directory,  In
    low res.  The picture files have been filed in the PICURES directory as
    per the archive.

WINNER is done with the latest QUESTOR LZH - I guess I should have
uploaded that too.

To get it to run, I unpacked it in the root directory of my C
partition, and double-clicked on DEMO2.  Requires a color tube.  Works
best with stereo hooked up to the STE audio outputs.

I uploaded the original .LZH as it was downloaded from GENIE, so there
shouldn't be anything missing.

I have the Stacy at work today, but none of this stuff is on it (not
even the good version of LZH), but I'll check into what's going on when
I get home and get to check out the configuration on the STe.  Try back
here around 8:00 to see what happened.

I have uploaded the latest QUESTOR LHARC in
	PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]LHARC.TTP
it's version 2.01g, and can unpack WINNER.LZH.

    The latest update of LHARC is 2.01I. I'll upload it as soon as I'll be
    back to Cologne)

I saw an announcemnet in ZNET by Bill Rehbock that Atari was going to release
a new, much improoved, set of Hard disk programs (formater, driver, etc..) to
"the public" last week.  If anyone gets a copy of this new version of Atari's
HD software, could you please make it available on the net and announce it
here (or via mail if you prefer).

  Thanks,

Midi Maze II, PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]MIDIMAZE.ARC.
Require ARC 6.02 to unpack!
Var 510 format, use STRANSF or Kermit's FILE TYPE BIN.

Great fun!  Much better than the original, although it's more complicated.

>To get it to run, I unpacked it in the root directory of my C
>partition, and double-clicked on DEMO2.  Requires a color tube.  Works
>best with stereo hooked up to the STE audio outputs.

    I downloaded the .LZH, the new version of LHARC.TTP.  When I placed
    the .LZH in the root of my C drive and unpacked the archive, I got a
    bunch of files and a pictures subdir with 3 .NEO file in it.

    If I double click on DEMO2 from med-rez, it tells me to go to low res.
    If I double click on DEMO2 from low-rez, it puts little black
    static-like dots on the screen, and then accesses the hard-drive.  A
    few seconds later it comes up with an alert box telling me it had error
    #8, not a negitive number like you get from TOS.  Has anyone seen this,
    and if so what did you do about it?

    I have a newer STE with TOS 1.62, and I don't run any fix programs.
    Has anyone gotten this to run with the same configuration?

    I started trying to trace the program to find out what it was doing
    when it got that error, but the program is protected, and uses self
    modifing code, so I have gave up, since it would take a long time to
    get anywhere.

    Jim Patterson

    Hi
    
    I too have the same problem as per 9.321.  As I have already stated in
    note 9.314.
    
    My STE has 1.62 TOS and 2 Megs of memory.  I have run DEMO2.PRG
    from partition C on my colour monitor and it fails with error #8.
    
    If anybody out there has got it running, then please could you let me
    know the version of TOS and size of memory you are running just incase
    this is where my problem is.
    
    Apart from that,  It seems a pity not to get it running as the samples
    included sound great in Stereo Master.
    
    
    
    Kevin.

	Hi all ,

I've uploaded the TeX 3.1 german version (sorry).
There are 11 subdirs labeled as 389.dir - 399.dir .
They can be found at/in :

	gyzpb0::disk$pdomain:[public.tex31]

There is a lot more in [public...]

	
I've copied the TeX - files from an DECstation 425 using NFT

I haven't checked them but I didn't get any error messages so I assume they
are correct.

Try and send a mail to gyzpb0::herrmann when having any problems.

	With best regards from

Expertise asked,
        Is there anybody who has any knowledge about a piece of software,
preferred to be public domain, for a MSDOS or ATARI-ST system which is capable
of designing clothes patterns. There seems to be some software which has
a library of clothes parts which you can assemble. Besides that you should
be able to enter a list of body-sizes, for example your family, which make
live a lot easier. Any hint about the above would be appreciated.


                                        best regards Ton Drummen

p.s. I'm asking this for my wife who would like to use the computer to make
     some "own" designs for our three daughters.

    
    For those who would care to partake:
    
    
    		DWEEZL::Atari$Dsk:Gs23b.zoo
    
    		DWEEZL::Atari$Dsk:gsfonts1.zoo  (for a lump grouping)  OR

			     The NEW WHACK is HERE!
			     ----------------------

If you ever want to use your Atari ST as a terminal to a VAX, this is
THE PROGRAM you want.  This program allows you to keep multiple
VT220-style emulator windows open simultaniously in separate windows,
using a single serial line or modem.  You may have seen it before, but
this is a MAJOR new release.

See topic 3.179 and replies for more details.


PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[WHACK]WHACK.PS
PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[WHACK]WHACKPS.ZOO

WHACK.PS is the 3095 block Whack manual.  WHACKPS.ZOO is the same file
compressed with the VMS ZOO utility.  You only need one of these.  If I
run low on space, I will delete the .PS file and leave just the .ZOO file.
The manual is in PostScript and has been formatted for printing two-sided
on an LPS20, however, it can be printed on any PostScript printer.  (I
found some ways to reduce it from it's previous size of over 4 Megabytes
to a mere 1.5 megabytes.)  This manual is also an excellent example of
what Pagestream 2.1 can do if you are paitent with it.  This takes some
time to print.  I recommend that you print it off hours.  However, you
should print it and have it handy when using Whack.  There's some great
information in there.

PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[WHACK]LHARC.TTP

This is the questor LHARC V2.01g for Atari ST.  This is the version of
LHARC archiver I used to pack the following two files.  This is a VAR
510 file.  Use STRANSF or Kermits file type BIN to download, or CVTARC
to unix format before doing binary copies.

PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[WHACK]WHACK.LZH

This archive contains the Whack program, which is also used as the
Whack desk accessory, along with the resource file and other supporting
files. See WHACK.PS for details and installation instructions.  This is
what you need to get started.  This is also a VAR 510 file.

PRNSYS::RELEASED_TOOLS:[WHACK]EWHACK.LZH

This archive contains only EWHACK.PRG.  EWHACK is the version of Whack
that includes MicroEMACS.  This is a huge program.  Don't even bother
downloading this one unless you have at least a 1MB system.  This is
also a VAR 510 file.

PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]DBWRITE.ZOO, David Beckmeyer's text
editor/word processor, demoed at last nights NaVAUS meeting.

    VERMNT::/usr1/st/uniterm/uniterm.20e.015.zoo is a brand new bug
    fix release of uniterm. The previous release was a couple years
    ago, rev. 11. This is rev.15. For those who prefer the distribution
    is also available as a compressed tar file name uniterm.20e.015.tar.Z
    
    The expanded contents of the zoo and tar.Z file are in the subdirectory
    uniterm.2.0.e for those who want to get at individual files or browse
    the release notes.
    
    You will probably want to rename the zoo file to something shorter
    for your ST, like uni20v15.zoo.

PRNSYS::DUA2:[LOMICKAJ.HOBBY.ST]FREETYP1.ZOO

This is a collection of font files in "Adobe Type 1" format for use
with PageStream 2.1 (Atari or Amiga).  I downloaded these from GEnie. 
There's just under 3MB of font data here, and it didn't compress very
well. There's at least 75 different fonts in here.  Some are very nice.

This file is 2.1 megabytes long, doesn't fit on a floppy, and will take
about three hours to download at 2400 baud.

Enjoy.

hundreds of GPA's and cost tens of jobs because it's so addictive! :-)
Now YOU can get your very own copy!  Such a deal!

    All these files have the extension *.TOS. That is because I compressed
    them to self-extracting archives. Simply copy them to your harddisk and
    then double-click on them. A folder will be created with the name of
    the archive and all the contents including subdirectories will be
    extracted to that folder.
    
    Most of those files are from german BBS', mail-order PD companies, and
    few of them are already on easynet. I copied them with a DECstation 300
    using Network File Transfer NFT. There shouldn't be any problems down-
    loading the files. The compressed archives take about 12 MB, extracted
    that will be about 30-40 MB.

    MUNEDI::$1$DUS12:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]*.* 
    
    was updated and sorted into subdirectories. One Index-File available
    (INHALT.TXT, german, sorry)
    
    Bernd
    
    

    
    
    my PD- and Shareware-library moved from MUNEDI to a new location
    and was updated today to about 700 programms.
    
    The new location is        UFRCS2::DISK$FS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]
    
    All the files are *.TOS what means that they are self-extracting.
    Because some of the files fill a 720kB floppy, copy them to the
    harddisk before you double-click on them.
    
    A (german) index with a short description is in every subdirectory
    called [FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]AAA_INHALT.TXT

    Again these archives are self-extracting in the *.TOS format. There have
    been problems in the past extracting the files. This only happens
    if you download the files with Kermit, or XModem or other protocols via
    Modem. If you use Pathworks (NFT) and a PC there is no problem, don't ask

    Bernd, (& others)
    			In regards to file xfrs...
    	The biggest "problem" with transfering files involving VMS is the
    	record type.  ie:  Last night I did the following:
    
    	COPY ufrcs1::DISK$FS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI.NEW1.TOOLS]FS_II.TOS *.*
        The file came "over" with a record format of FIXED LENGTH 128 bytes
    	then I did
    			BILF L FS_II.TOS
    	to convert it to STREAM_LF (for a record format) and proceeded to
    			STRANSF GET FS_II.TOS C:\FS_II.TOS  (I used WHACK)
    	next, for kermit xfr, I changed it to FIXED 512 by doing
    			BILF B FS_II.TOS
    	the I "fired up" kermit (ck5a188 - for vms)
    	ckermit			! start up kermit
    	SET FILE TYP BIN	! required for correct transmission
    	send fs_ii.tos		! send the file
    	exit			! leave kermit
    
    	Both modes of transmission worked successfully on my A drive
    	when I executed them on my Atari.
    
    	Kermit will 'require' FIXED length 512 for a record format to
    	work properly.
    	WHACK, Zmodem, (and Xmodem, I assume) will require STREAM_LF to
    	work properly.
    
    	The "path" the file was sent through was from my system, over the
    	net to a DECserver, to the modem, down the phone line to my modem
    	then to my Atari.  
    
    	BILF was written by Rahul Dhesi (external), but is freely available
    	for use.
    
    	DWEEZL::dua0:[vms]b*.* 			will find it (Ckermit's
    						in there too).
    
    	Feel free to check out these other directories:
    
    	DWEEZL::dua0:[Atari]
    		     [Cpm]

In the location

UFRCS1::DISK$FS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI.NEW1]

are some more new Public Domain and Shareware archives in the
known *.TOS self-extracting format. The files previously 
located in that directory have been moved to the appropriate
places in the [FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]-directories (and the
index-file INHALT.TXT was updated with those files).

A index-file for the new archives is also in [.NEW1]

Good news:

- a SCSI-tape driver (including sources and a TAR-program)
- a SCSI-tape GEM-Backupprogram
- the best printspooler I've ever seen (works with the disk,
  needs no memory, uses conversion-tables, works also fine
  with the TOS printout-routines, uses queues, up to 99 jobs,
  totally in the background, etc, etc)
- a device driver for any SCSI CD-ROM (including drivers for
  ISO file-formats)


Bernd

Has anyone used the tapebios tape driver mentioned in .347?

I tried it last night with a TK50 I'd been using on customer site. Although
my ICD scsi adapter could see the drive OK (I think it reported as an Adaptec
55something?), I cuoldn't install the tapebios driver. When I double clicked on
tapebios.tos, the program appeared to start,
but flashed a couple of lines of text up on screen so quickly I couldn't read
them and exited (not bombed) back to the desktop. I modified the .inf file to
reference the tape at SCSI ID 5, which is where the ICD shows the TK50.

Tapetest.tos also failed with a quicjk couple of text lines - presumably
because it couldn't find the driver.

Any suggestions welcomed,

Thanks,
		Ian.

    Hello STDCATXX users, I found STDCAT51 in the "BART" directory, you
    can get your copy from node FSSB::USER:[000000.ATARI.FILES]STDCAT51.ARC.
    
    Have fun....                                                   
    
    Regards Hans.

     
    re. -2
    
    Ian, I found the Tape-Bios driver working ok after renaming the 
    TAPEBIOS.TOS to TAPEBIOS.PRG and execute it out of the Auto-folder.
    But I want to point you to the GEMAR100.TOS-archive. It is a complete
    TAR-compatible GEM-Backup-program with the driver included. Not more
    needed than this program to do excellent tape-backups! You may even
    define Backup- and Restore-buffers, set the ID of the tape in the
    program, and adjust the program to the drive (like transfer-speed aso).
    
    Bernd
    
      

re -1,-3
Thanks Bernd, I'll give that a try.

The reason I looked at TAPEBIOS rather than GEMAR100 are that the docs for
GEMAR are in German, and I've forgotten most of what I learn't, many years ago!

I'll certainly give it a try though.

Thanks, again,
		Ian.

    
    FYI:  DweezL::dua0:[atari]*.*   will be "going away" in about 2-3
    
    	  weeks - our plant is closing...  I hope someone can pick up
    
    	  what's there in the archive.
    
    
    	Latest acquistion:  
    
    		STICP.LZH  & STICPSRC.LZH   -   TCP/IP for the Atari
    		(kinda like KA9Q)
    
    	Check out the archive before it's too late
    
    

    I made a terminal program for the ATARI ST/TT/FALCON series available
    on EDDF10 (49.392). It is a shareware program and in my opinion the
    best piece of terminal software for the ATARI available today. Features
    are:
    
      - VT52 / VT100 / VT220 emulation 
      - TEK graphics terminal emulation
      - Programmable with a powerful, Unix-like script language, 
        script learning mode
      - Supports the voice mode of ZyXEL modems working as an answering
        machine
      - Built-in X-, Y-, ZModem and CompuServe B Protocols
      - Runs under MultiTOS 
      - German and English Ressource files included
      - Future version will provide fax capabilities with fax modem
      - Support from the author is ongoing
    
    The registration fee is 60 DM. 
    
    The archive is EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:CONN020.LZH. 2.20 is the current
    public release, the next one will be 2.50 with fax support. An english
    manual is in preparation. 
    
    Regards, Peter. 

    re .-1
    
    Sorry, I had to correct the filename to reflect the correct software
    version. 
    
    CoNnect 2.20 is now in the archive EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:CONN220.LZH
    
    Apologies for the confusion.
    
    Regards, Peter.

    I appear to have lost my ATARI version pf LZH.TTP (at least that is
    what I think it was called). Can someone point me to a copy on the NET
    so I can de-archive this one.
    
    Thanxs Norman

    Ref .4, .5
    
    Yep, it is LHARC I need. Peter, you have probably guessed it - I'm
    trying to de-archive CONN220.LZH. I have found at home what I believe
    to be LHARC version 2.1G but when I attempt to de-archive CONN220.LZH,
    I get 19 files created of the form CONnnnn.NUM; the total size of all
    files is far far less than CONN220.LZH. What have I done wrong? I
    copied this file over the NET then copied it to another node. I ran
    PCDISK and using a diskette that I always use for this purpose, I
    imported the file. Do I need to get involved with UUENCODE/DECODE? The
    file that I copied across appeared OK from VMS when I used LHARC to
    list it. Should I de-archive with VMS and then tranfer to floppy with
    PCDISK?
    Peter, I cannot access EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:LHARC230.TOS -
    
    -RMS-E-FNF, file not found
    
    Norman

    Hello Norman,
    
    correct - you may (and probably will) have problems extracting a newer
    .LZH archive with the old LHARC version 2.30. There were some bugs in
    archive header processing, and some new levels of archive headers were
    introduced since then. LHARC V 2.30 is the newest version of LHARC,
    published some days ago.
    
    In addisition, possibly the CONN220 archive on EDDF10 contained a
    corrupt file, what may prevent older LHARC versions from unpacking the 
    whole archive. 
    
    I just made LHARC230.TOS available and hope this time everything's all 
    right. In addition, I posted a newly packed CoNnect-archive to 
    EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC, so there should be no more problems.
    
    My apologies for the confusion. If you have any difficulties in
    unpacking (or using) CoNnect feel free to contact me per email. 
    
    Regards, Peter.  

    Due to some problems with the archive (at least detected by one
    downloader) I repackaged it with the current version of LHarc and
    replaced the archive on ATARI$PUBLIC. 
    
    You may not be able to unpack it with an older version of LHarc. So I
    put the newest LHARC version to
    
      EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:LHARC230.TOS
    
    This is a self-extracting archive. It contains german and english
    versions of LHARC and some documentation. 
    
    When you are experiencing any problems, feel free to contact me via
    email.
    
    Regards, Peter.

    Peter, Thanxs for LHARC230.TOS (quite an informative package). Also
    thanxs for the copy of CONN220.LZH. These two are now on the system at
    home; de-archived without problem. I have had a quick look at CONNECT
    and it looks like a very professional piece of software. That probably
    explains the fact that the author gives you 30 hours to play with
    before it gets "user unfriendly". I am not yet into MODEM's, BBS's and
    the like but shortly I hope to be. At 30 pounds for the registration
    key, CONNECT could very well be a sound investment.
    
    Thanxs again,
    Norman

    I just put the SCSI-streamer software GEMAR into EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:.
    The software runs on ST, TT and Falcon and was tested with a whole
    bunch of streamers so far. At home I use it with a TZ30 on an ST with
    an ICD host adaptor without major problems. 
    
    As opposed to my last posting concerning GEMAR, the software is
    delivered with english ressource, help system and text files as well as
    with german ones. The drawback is that the english manual isn't worked
    at so far, the author is still looking for someone who does the
    translation. 
    
    Along with GEMAR201.LZH, I put a (yet another) new version of LHARC
    into ATARI$PUBLIC:, the file is a self-extracting archive called
    LHARC231.TOS. It contains some bugfixes to LHARC230.
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter

    Hello,

    the most complete archive for Atari on the Easynet (I believe)
    is now available in the following location:


    MUCCS1::TMPDOS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]

   
    It's about 4,500 files (about 150MB !) Shareware and Cliparts (*.IMG,
    black&white). The shareware programs are in the self-extracting
    *.TOS format. The cliparts are numbered like "21.IMG" in each
    subdirectory, and the indexing-program IMG_PRNT.PRG is also included
    in the CLIPARTS-directory (for those users with GDOS installed).
    All files are sorted into subdirectories, you'll find a (again german 
    text) index-file for the programs in


    MUCCS1::TMPDOS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI.SHAREWAR]INHALT.TXT


    If somebody needs all of them, send me a TZK10 cartridge. I can
    make a GEMAR-backup for the Atari onto tape in the 150 MB format.

    Address: Bernd Falkenstein @UFH


    Bernd

    P.S. my former archive on UFRCS1::DISK$FS:[FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...]
         is gone...
    
    

    
    re. -1
    
    The archives have been put onto the net with PATHWORKS which I believe
    uses a Stream-format.
    
    To make the files self-extract on your Atari it seems that you also
    have to use PATHWORKS and NFT with the /block option. Hope this solves
    the problem.
    
    Bernd
    
    

    I just put a new version of CoNnect into EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC. 
    
    This is not yet the version capable of FAX, but it has the same
    registration key the 2.50 will have (hope that no one will hack this
    one :-((), some bugs are removed and the help system has been changed 
    to more user friendlyness.
    
    Included are new serial line drivers by Harun Scheutzow that support
    enhanced serial speed on the modem and serial ports on ST, TT, STE and
    FALCON. On the ST, you will need some additional hardware. I use my
    Mega ST with a serial speed od 57600 bps with that software and it's
    working great. Highly recommendable for highspeed modems.
    
    Wolfgang needed such a long time for providing that new version because
    of some hackers haveing cracked the key algorithm that registers a user.
    In my opinion, this is a highly unsocial doing, and those people should
    be hanged by their ears. Hopefully, the next version will eventually be
    capable of FAXing. 
    
    The english version of the manual is also available from now on (only
    to registered users). The author of the book, Philipp Oelwein, has
    started shipping the books about two weeks ago. 
    
    The file name of the new version is CONN241.LZH. 
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.
                        

    re .-2
    
    I usually move the files to and from the VAX with PCDISK and never had
    any problems with it. I must admit I have no idea about the status of
    this tool, whether it is a part of pathworks, a seperately sold piece
    of software, an asset or a hack. But it works great.
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

    re .363.
    
    Peter, I have a copy of CONN241 but alas the HELP and the Resource are
    in German only; CONN220 had English as well. I was attempting to
    improve the English .TXT file and the HELP but things move too fast. I
    was attempting to improve the structure of the HELP but it looks like
    the latest version has already done that. CAN YOU PLEASE ASK THE AUTHOR
    FOR English version too; I promise to attempt to correct spelling and
    grammatical errors. My command of the German language is not much
    better than 'ein bier' (is that correct) :-)
    If it was good enough, I would do the translations myself :-(
    Finally, Why does one of the files refer to Version 2.40, your note
    says 2.50 and the archived file is named 241 (i.e. 2.41) ?
    
    Bye for now, Norman

    There is a new version of CoNnect on EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC, the version
    number is 2.44.
    
    The archive is named CONNE244.LZH and contains only the english version
    of CoNnect. I'll add the german version as soon as I get it, probably
    in the course of this morning. The archive for the german version will
    be called CONNG244.LZH.
    
    CoNnect 2.44 contains some bugfixes, it is still not capable of FAX. 
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

    GEMAR Version 2.20 is now in the EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC directory.
    
    There are several enhanchements made to the concept of GEMAR. So called
    "plugins" are introduced to make GEMAR more configurable by calling
    external routines for certain purposes (e.g. processing vendor-specific
    error messages from the streamer).
    
    For further information, please refer to the text files in the archive.
    I haven't had so much time this weekend to test the software in detail.
    The Unit-Attention-bug in combinaltion with the TZ30 is still alive,
    but Steffen will provide plugin interfaces for most of the functions in
    a future (the next?) version, so this can be solved. Probably by me.
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter. 

    Hello, 
    
    today I put some new software to the EDDF10 archive. 
    
    LHARC3.TOS - LHArc Version 3.0. Included is a packer shell (which I
      don't like, but that may be because I don't like any packer shell),
      an german and english command line versions. See the documentation
      for new features; the author states it will be about 10% faster than
      the 2.xx version. Self-extracting archive.
    
    STZIP25.TOS - STZip Version 2.5. This version is the first that does
      not rely on the integrity of some CPU registers after a GEMDOS call,
      so it is the first that is (in my opinion) useable. Self-extracting
      archive. 
    
    SMON109A.LZH - Sysmon Version 1.09A. The current version of an Atari
      System Monitor. Tracks BIOS, XBIOS, GEMDOS, VDI and AES calls,
      provides Information on loadad and resident programs, memory usage,
      redirected vectors and some more. Sysmon runs under all TOS versions,
      MagiX! and - with limitations - MultiTOS. A very useful tool for program 
      testing and development. Documentation is in german, program in english. 
      This is a limited shareware release, registration key can be obtained 
      via EMail from the author.  
    
    GMNI199.LZH - The current Version 1.99 (pre-relese of Gemini 2.0).
      Program and documentation are german, but it looks like there are 
      provisions made for multilanguage support. Gemini claims to work with
      MultiTOS and MagiX!, there is no mention of Geneva (and I think it is
      improbable that Geneva is supported, as Gemini is a german program
      and Geneva was not known here until short time ago). I don't use
      Gemini, so I can't tell too much more.
    
    MUPFTOOL.LZH - Some Unix-like tools that are of use with command line
      interpreters, especially with MUPFEL from the Gemini package (hence
      the name). Same like for Gemini - I don't use them, so don't ask me. 
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

Anyone know where I can get some Casino type games (slots, roulette, etc..)
for the ST? Commercial, PD, or Shareware, doesn't matter.

My mother played a game called Ceasers Pallace on a freinds SNES and now she
wants some similiar games for her ST.

I checked the archives at UMich and didn't find anything.

  anks,

    re .368
    
    I have a problem with files from EDDF10::Atari$Public.
    
    I've copied over the following files;
    
    CONNE246.LZH;2          663  15-MAR-1994 19:12:31.00
    GEMAR220.LZH;1          641   5-MAR-1994 11:00:52.00
    GEMNI199.LZH;1          934   9-APR-1994 08:54:52.00
    LHARC3.TOS;1            526   9-APR-1994 09:44:20.00
    MUPFTOOL.LZH;2          724   9-APR-1994 09:21:24.00
    SMON109A.LZH;1          314   9-APR-1994 09:59:28.00
    STZIP25.TOS;1           272   9-APR-1994 09:45:46.00
    
    and then imported them via PCDISK (V4.2) onto individual floppy disks.
    
    When I try to extract the .TOS files, on my Atari (4Mb)
    I get a blank screen, without the usual extracting type 
    messages, then after about 5-10 seconds, back to the
    disk window, with nothing having happened.
    The files are in Stream format, in the directory that I run PCDISK
    from, eg.

    I also have the same problem on LHARC231.TOS;2 that I obtained from
    the net.
    
    In the past, I've succesfully transferred files to the Atari, as above,
    so what is going wrong this time ????

    Hello Brian, 
    
    it is probably my fault. I seem to have corrupted the files when I
    copied them from floppy to the VAX, leaving out parameter
    /Format=Fixed. I'll have another try in the next few days, don't know
    exactly when I will be in the office next time. 
    
    Meanwhile, you could try to convert them to stream_lf before copying to
    floppy? I don't know if it works, but it may be worth trying. 
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

I copied the lharc and zip .tos files from EDDF10::Atari$Public: yesterday,
used Mtools on an AXP/OSF system to copy them to floppy, put the floppy in my
ST, double clicked on the files and they uncompressed just fine.

So the files themselves are NOT corrupt.

I think PCDISK requires that the files be in STREAM_LF format, and these files
are in STREAM format (sans the _LF). I think if you use cvtarc (or equivelent)
to convert them to STREAM_LF before using PCdisk, you will be all set.

    Re .-1
    
    The problem was due to my using Fast Copy Pro 82/10 format on the
    floppies that I used to PCDISK (V4.2) import the files.
    
    Using CVTARC on Stream files decreases the size dramatically, and gets
    you nowhere, unfortunately.
    
    Yesterday, I used standard desktop formatted floppies with the STREAM 
    files (Not Stream-LF) and everything worked fine.
    
    Brian.

    re .-2
    
    The files are OK. 
    
    There *may* result some problems if you try to export binary files
    from floppy to VAX without the qualifier /Format=Fixed. This is because
    of extremely long records that don't fit into some buffers, therefore
    being truncated. Extracting with /Format=Fixed, you are on the secure
    side. 
    
    BTW, cvtarc doesn't convert between STREAM and STREM_LF, but from
    STREAM to FIXED LENGTH 512 BYTE and vice versa.
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

    Hello, 
    
    I have renewed all the files in EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:
    
    The files now all are in fixed length 512 bytes format, so the problems
    some people had with zmodem download and other buffer oriented
    applications should be gone.
    
    The same time, I have updated LHARC to version 3.01 and GEMAR to
    version 2.21. Both contain various bugfixes and speed enhancements,
    LHARC 3.01 has an optimized unpack routine that makes more use of a
    68030's cache.
    
    Regards,
    
      Peter. 

    Hello, 
    
    today there are two new uploads to EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC:
    
    The first is the new version of Harun Scheutzow's serial port driver
    software HSMODEM, called HSMODA04. Several minor bugfixes are included,
    Harun is working on a new version with enhanced features. 
    
    Should anyone of you have a HSMODA02 version containing documentation
    files without english sections, this is a beta version that left a test
    site unintentionally. Please replace the files and delete the arcives
    at any location you find them. The beta versions were distributed with
    an older version of CoNnect, among others.
    
    The second new upload is an update for SYS_MON 1.09, called
    SMON109C.ZIP. The author Karsten Isakovic claims that he provided
    enhanced documentation and some bugfixes, I didn't check that so far. A
    warning regarding SYS_MON: For short time there was a version 1.09 B
    available (not here :-), that by accident was compiled with 68020 option 
    enabled. This version will crash immediately if you try to start it on
    a 68000 or 68010 machine. Delete the archive wherever you find it.
    
    Regards, 
    
      Peter.

    Hello, 
    
    as this is one of my last three days as a Digital employee, my public
    directory EDDF10::ATARI$PUBLIC: is likely to go away sooner or later.
    Sorry I couldn't upload recent software in the last few weeks, but I
    had a lot of things to do ...
    
    Maybe Bernd Falkenstein can have a look if the versions in my directory
    are newer, older od the same as his ones and take the newer versions
    over into his archive. 
    
    Best regards, 
    
      Peter.

    
    
    	Hello, 
    
    	Can anyone advise on any upto date easynet locations
    	for public domain software as I have tried a few but 	
    	most seem to be gone as they were very old.

    you'll find my archive in
    
    MUCCS1::DISK$FS:<FALKENSTEIN.ATARI...>

I guess this archive has disappeared as well?
At least I could not find a "atari" directory...
(Sorry for breaking in...) :)
