Could someone explain what this GDOS beast is? I have a German clone in the
AUTO folder for RUFUS; what does it do besides allow me to use selected
programs?
BTW, I am sort of surprised about all the probems people are having with
RUFUS. I downloaded it from GEnie, un-ARCed it, and it has run flawlessly
without tinkering.

that the whole proces will have to be done authomatically. Just to

Subject: Graphics on the STE - v. generally speaking..
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Hi Howard
I've been thinking about the same thing too, but my calculations
always came up with "too expensive". Of course if you think 16 MB isn't
expensive ... as you do in your post. While thinking about it I
had this great idea for a new RAM technology, which unfortunately
(then unbeknownst to me) already existed as dual-port RAM. Even then the
bus width needed and the cycle speed is just about too ridicolous for
a home computer. Personally I'd be happy with 640*400*16bit colors at
70Hz and some hires in mono. That would be monetarily feasible, I only
want color for the games <slobber> anyway, and some hires for programming.
I as a lowly long-time Atari customer, would indeed be already happy
over some _small_ improvements.
How about Player/Missile Graphics for at least the *&~% mouse cursor,
I can not believe that in the nineties we still got to erase the cursor,
draw something, turn it on again, erase the cursor draw something , turn
it on again (*)
Not neccessarily Atari specific:
Floating point is done in hardware (What %age of the user crowd
actually uses floating points (me NEVER!!) ?), but the stuff you'd
really need is done in software (probably in compiled Alcyon C to boot)
Programs like EZ-draw would definetely profit from a hardwired
draw routine for example. How about a microprogrammable stupid CPU,
that you'd just give instructions like
FOR(;;) ;; this is some mix between
IF IRQ pending ;; english, basic, lisp C and ML
GRAB BYTE from PORT0 ;; lisp for the comments that is
STUFF it into BUFFER at $XXXX ;; har har
IF BUFFERP == full signal IRQ LEVEL 2
CLRIRQ
END
That's basically perfect for sound processing, non DMA I/O processing
and maybe even so stupid tasks as memory initializing. And the 'real'
CPU with it's overkill of registers and cache and what have you
needn't worry about those bothersome context switches for every
*%~$ little interrupt. Didn't need to shift, no ALU except an
increment for the address registers. No cache...
Why is everyone so hung up about processor speed ? Sure it's nice that
the compiler does it in 5 minute, if it used to grind for 15 minutes
but chances are that a faster harddisk might be just as profitable
in terms of speed. How often do you compile, aren't you 90% of the time
just typing stuff into an editor ?? Personally I am quite happy even with
a lowly 68000 @ 8Mhz. Yes you speed demons it's allrite for me, IF the
rest of the hardware would do the job, I think a CPU shouldn't do like
graphics, I/O and sound!! My guess it that there just aren't enough
competant people in hardware R&D (anywhere for that matter) to do the
job. So they put in a faster CPU and delegate the rest to a cheesy
graphics card, which virtually does nothing except converting RAM
to colored dots.(the one Intel or TI chip I heard about maybe an exception,
but probably not). Ok this does not neccessarily apply to machines in
scientific environments, where one shittily written application is layered on
top of another (probably in some local LISP dialect) until the processor
croaks.
About every two years it gets to me and I write an article like that,
that's maybe because I would like to buy a computer and don't see
anything I'd like to buy. (Well that ST Notebook sounds tempting,
got yet to see one though...) thanks to the readers of comp.sys.atari.st
for taking it with some humor and letting the old man ramble on
a bit.
bye y'all

Hi,
In response to the guy asking for LodeRunner games for the ST, I've just
ftp'ed "lodeclon.arc" to terminator.cc.umich.edu. It is a monochrome-only
version of the game. While I never really tried Go-up, I found lodeclon to
be quite enjoyable.

Subject: Notebooks: SO there!
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
For all those out there who are convinced that TRH is the Word when it
comes to the notebook market, and that Atari knows what the hell is
going on on the other side of their closed eyelids, please read on:
Zeos Notebook PC
12mhz 286, 2"x12"x10", 1 meg RAM, backlit VGA, and ext. vid. port, 20
Meg HDD, 1.44 meg floppy, $1995.
Compaq LTE
20MHz 386, 7 I/O ports, 30 /60 meg HDD, 3 meg RAM, 1.44 meg floppy
Dataworld NS 320SX
386sx, VGA with ext. vid., 2 meg RAM, 20 meg drive
Others include the Northgate slimline, and the Austin sx, with standard
2 meg RAM. These machines have stated weights of under 7 lbs, including
the battery charger. I doubt the notebook ST wieght includes the
charger. Without the charger, they weigh in less than 6 lbs. Granted
they weigh a bit more than the ST notebok, but do NOT tell me that they
are figments of my imagination, or that there are no machines out there
with both a hard drive and a floppy, as the guru TRH has stated. There
are others that are lighter, and are closer to the ST notebook, but I
have better things to do than to reread piles of magazines just to
vindicate my position against the cries of the ignorant. I think I'll
stick with the STacy for a while. Dog as it is, at least I can use it
easily enough. And from the sounds of things over the Pond, we won't be
seeing the notebook for atleast another year and a half, if not longer,
anyway. (Told you so.)
Sorry about no more constructive criticism, but I came to the
realization that as great (and, most importantly, feasible) my *dream*
machine is, no one at Atari is listening to anything but there own
shallow breathing. Too bad. They still have some glaring oportunites to
take over the US market. But not as long as their philosophy is "Power
without the Power". Maybe later I will have some more constructive
comments, but for now, there seems little point. Prove me wrong Mr.
Hall. Prove me wrong Atari. I dare you.

The translation is good but not complete... ;-/
Maybe I'll finish it some day. It may require changing the program itself
and I am anyway trying to make scandinavian characters work.
So I'll have to contact the maker of it...

Screen won't scroll? That's odd. I have never seen that...
Rufus uses character table similar to German keyboard... That's bad!
Set it so that it uses only 7-bit characters. It usually works.
And you may have the screen-size setting wrong. Try 80x24.
Hope this helps a bit.

I did a port quite a while ago and it runs on a few German sites. It
can be used in a slightly modified Mercuy-UUCP enviromnet. It's not
available thru FTP yet, but I guess I'll put it on a German FTP host RSN.
I'll post detailed information when it's on available.

I'm using a version of smail that has been, in my opinion, finished for
quite a long time. However, I didn't port it. The people who did the port
have not released it for distribution, so I can't pass it around. Sorry.
The program also depends on the existence of several related programs
(uucico, lmail, email, etc.) that also have not been released.
I wish I could be more encouraging, but if the program I'm using is the
one you've been waiting to see released, I'm afraid it's simply stuck in
limbo.

I've discovered some programs tht do not work under Tos 1.4 and wish

No flames if this sounds foolish (wont the internal 1.4 over-ride the

Subject: The TT -- Gosh, I actually touched one
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
The delays had dragged on so long that I had stopped looking for it. But
when I stopped by my dealer today to typeset the newsletter for the
Minnesota Atari ST user group, I finally got to use a genuine
production-model TT030.
So long as I stuck with ST High resolution, the TT was happy with
PageStream 1.8. Higher (TT-only) resolutions produced bus errors and, in
one case, an ``Illegal AES call'' dialog box. (One operation in 16-color
TT mode locked up the machine.) Presumably these bugs are known and will
be fixed in PageStream 2.1, which is said to be only weeks away from
release.
The machine was clearly faster than the ST. I didn't use it to lay out the
newsletter, just to drive an SLM605, so I can't offer any details.
The Mega STE also was in stock.

Well, Karl-Anders here in Norway has written a much better SoundTracker
