Hy there!
If you want to get a BIG-IMG( >640*480 ) then you can use e.g.
'snapshot'-programs which run with TTM 194.
Lots of these programs are in PD-Pools.
But there is only one program I know, which can 'snapshot' everywhere
in every resolution and with every graphics-extension :
Mortimer Plus (Omikron.Software, Germany).
Most items of this program are not well, and when you use Mortimer,
you will have more often bombs on your screen than usually... but
this function (Snapshot) works well.

It's a TOS phenomenon. Subdirectories are just special files. If you have
90 bazillion files in a directory, the file gets very long (and, because
of the odd order in which you probably created those files, the directory
may be fragmented all over the disk). Scanning through those zapped files
slows down the system something fierce.
 
That behavior, plus the pre-TOS-1.4 problem with opening files on a very
full disk drive, led Dale Schumacher and I to choose a different method of
storing Usenet messages in the rnews that we wrote a couple of years ago.
 
Instead of a single file per message, we have a single file per newsgroup.
Messages are stored in common Unix mailbox format -- i.e., concatenated
with "From <user> <date>" at the top of each message. Expiration is
performed by a file-trimming utility.
 
This method lets rnews and expiration processes run much faster, but it
introduces its own set of problems -- notably the need to scan very long
files in order to get a directory of messages in a group, and the need for
some sort of message-ID searching to find each user's previous
highest-read marker. We never really developed a satisfactory user
interface for all of this, which is one reason it was not released.

This is probably one of the biggest misunderstandings of the Atari Corp.
 
The developer program does not pay immediately, but it helps to establish
a computer system that would otherwhise suffer from a lack of good software.
So an efficiently working developer support really produces profits, even
though you don't see it immediately.
 
To my mind one of the reasons why Atari seems to be dying continously in the
US is that there's more or less no good and clean software over there. And
there can't be good software without good, quick and immediate information.

An appropriate "patch" could be an accessory that sometimes gets activated by
an evnt_timer(0,0) call and then performs an Syield() call.

I too found this problem and solved it without a patch:
The obvious point was that GEM doesn't call GEMDOS very often when
waiting for any event. It seems to me that MiNT schedules processes
upon return of a system call. So the obvious thing to do was the following:
I wrote a very little accessory that forces GEM to call GEMDOS and thus
can be scheduled by the MiNT kernel:
 
-----------snipp------------------------------snipp------------------
 
#include <aes.h>
#include <mintbind.h>
 
int main( void )
{
        appl_init();
 
        while(1)
        {
                envt_timer(0,50);               /* GEM waits 50 milliseconds */
                Syield();
        }
}
 
--------snipp-------------------------snipp----------------snipp------
 
That's it. The thing is that every 50 milliseconds GEM is preempted
from the processor and the MiNT kernel has the opportunity to let
another process run.
 
You'll see that your background TeX-process will get much more processor
time than it got when running without this accessory. I don't know if
this is a clever solution or if I am doing something that I should't do,
but this solution works fine.
 
Hope this helps
        Ciao
                Roberto

How much memory do you need to run it?  BTW, how the hell is a person
with one disk drive and no HD supposed to unarc that 1100+ file?!
Also, how am I gonna transfer it from a HD IBM disk to a 720k ATARI

I'd really perfer msa's of a reasonable length like the LOST BOYS Finalle.

Hi, several days ago, I decoded the SOZOBON C compiler. It was
very disappointing to discover that the whole package is composed
of several TTP files. I think it's very hard to use TTP files (and I
don't seem to be the only one, according to reactions of others).
So I would like to know if there exists some sort of Manager / Shell
/ Editor that can be used to coordinate and simplify the work with
Sozobon.
 
Thanks in advance for any suggestions,

Yes my sentiments exactly... It seems _somebody_ has altered my
(vms)uuen/decoders so as to include some error checking checksums and the like.
I have since started ignoring the error messages and getting OK .ARC's
 
Now if anyone has a lharc for vms that handle lh5 let me know

Does anyone have any experience with the ST-Super-VGA card
from Rio Datel in US? It's also known as Resolution Super VGA
I think. How does it work? Does it come with the SVGA card
itself or would I have to buy that seperately? Presumably
I would need to buy a monitor capable of displaying SVGA.
Does it work on an STE (2MB+hardisk)? Does anyone know the
price? What about drivers? Is there a supplier in Germany?
 
Sorry about all the questions, but I was considering designing
such an adaptation myself so after reading Ben Gilbert's
posting saying it was available comercially I got pretty
excited!!

yesterday I had a big proble with the Pexec-service.
I wrote a procedure, which has to LOAD (mode 3) a program, then
add a field in the basepage and last start the loaded image with
Pexec (mode 4). Everytimes, I do so, I get an exeption #3 BUSERROR and
while looking at the exeption-making code I found:
The service tried to get a longword out of the COMMANDLINE-data, made
it into an address, subtracted 4 and tried to access this address.
Well, quite bad. I have no idea, what went wrong. I passed the parameters
in the correct order and the only thing I changed in the basepage of
the new program was the value for p_resrvd2[0].
Any help?
        Thanks
        M. Gaertner

I did read last week from some Atari info, that the RTS/CTS flow bugs
could still be there as the Person (Bob Brodie) I think was refering
to a patch program to fix this problem, but stated he did not know
if it was fixed in TOS Version 2.06/3.06...
 
May be some of the Atari chaps can fill us in..??

The STe can be populated with TOS 2.0x directly. I have (a swedish)
TOS 2.05 in my STe and it works just great!
   Oh, yes, I had to remove two jumpers to use 32 pin EPROMS instead of
the 28 pin ROMS that where there originally. The TOS was ripped straight
out of a Mega STe.

I have seen a Xterm implementation on Atari. It works, but not very
fast. You also need an ethernet interface. You could try to contact:
