Nope.  Priest is Neta, and has a different entrance.  Dain, I believe is
wizard.  In any case, you mapped the entrance from the fighter maze.

I have seen this printer work with Wordup (LQ800 driver installed).  Worked
fine, and looks great.  I assume that the LQ2500 is downwardly compatible
with the LQ800.  Incidentally, the printer was purchased for about $270
from an outfit in New York (if memory serves).  I found this unbelievable,
given the quality of the printer.  I could dig up the address from the
purchaser if y'all want it.

No, but Flight Simulator II does.  Not as nice as color, and pretty non-violent,
but a very nice simulation all the same.  Falcon (and Populus) easily provide
rational for the purchase of a color monitor (IMHO).

Graham, could you post the full price of the Lattice C version 5??
 
You only posted the upgrade price in this message.
 
Also, would I get a newer version of WERCS with version 5??
 
You might remember that I have been using WERCS but an old version which
crashes my HRD files. I would buy Lattice C version 5 if I knew that I
would get a good WERCS with it!!
 
The ANSI compatibility is another reason why I am interested in it. I wonder
who is distributing Lattice C in the USA now?
 
Well, thanks alot

 MY mom and two sisters live in Urbana Ill and while I was there last
 Thanksgiving
I looked for an Atari dealer. I could only find one and that was One Stop
Computers. I drove looking for One Stop computers and it appears that they are
in a HOUSE!! Not a store at all but a HOUSE in a residental section of Urbana
near the University of Illinois.
 
My question is:
 
Are there any other ST dealers in the USA which operate out of a house?? I mean
 stores
with retail sales, not just mail order.
 
It seemed kinda strange to me, but I am spoiled by my local Atari dealer
who has TWO real stores!!!

Subject: Program wanted...
Message-ID: <6871@mentor.cc.purdue.edu>
 
I have a Mac emulator and was wondering if anyone had a program or init to
read the system defaults from disk?  I really hate to go to control panel
and select mouse and then click on fast, just to get the mouse to move at
a reasonable speed.  A friend said he thought such a thing existed but I have
never seen it.  If someone could send me either the program or the name
and a anonymous ftp that has it I would appreciate it.  Thanks.

You know, Rob, the people a year ago who started the last flame-war on
this topic thought it belonged here. I don't see why you want to do it
all over again.
 
If you still insist on doing it, you can avoid doing this:

Proof? This is proof? A two year old article, which had some sort of survey
which didn't encompass a statistically significant portion of Atari ST
owners, much less any other platform?
 
Please, don't waste our time and money.
