Which Amiga did you use? The older Amiga 1000's did not have
standard parallel ports, if my memory services me right.
I'm sure the Amiga Police will comment on this.

Subject: Compression (background)
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Does anyone know about the new program from DC that is supposed to allow
compression of all data on a system while it is active. From what I have
heard about the program, it does what it does without slowing the machine
down at at all. Is there a demo of this prgram available? I heard that
it costs $40, so I don't really want to send money without seeing just
how good it is. Even a scaled down demo would be great.
Also, while on the subject, does anyone know if there are any other
programs that do the same thing? Or even a program that crunches the
files before executing them, and offers only light compression. PFX Pack
is a good program, but the compression is too good. Too good?!? Well,
the better the compression is, the slower it is to uncompress when you
run it. I only want light compression since I don't want to lose the
speed of my Hard Drive.
Does anyone have any ideas?

Why didn't you ask Borland for the newest version of TC. This comes with an
Accessory that shows the help text from everey GEM-application you want.
In some BBSs it is available to download.

I have been using PHASAR 4.0 (home financial program) on my 1040ST and MegaST4
computers in the last few years. My sister is looking for this program for her
286 PC clone. Is Phasar available for PC compatible computer? If not, is
there any similar program on the PC that would do the same job? Thanks in

Subject: SET STEP/SEEK RATE PROGRAM
To: INFO-ATARI16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Hi,
I replaced my Mega 4 drive with Sony 1.44MB disk drive and now looking for
a program to set the drive step rate to 6ms. I have tried several PD programs,
SEEK6MS.TOS seems to work with older TOS only ( I am using TOS 1.4), Claud
Brod's SEEK33.PRG can only set seek rate from 1 to 3 and PCF554.PRG which means
for connecting the Atari 5-14" drive to the ST can only set the step rate of
the drive B:. I am now can get by by using CLI program to set step rate and
format 18 Sectors but it is rather inconvenience to run CLI every time that I
switch on computer just to set step rate then exit to GEM desktop.
I would prefer to autoboot the Atari Corp's PCF554.PRG if I can change some
addresses to make it set steprate of drive A: instead of B: or set both A: & B:
to 6ms.
Any suggestion on modification or better alternative shall be most appreciated.
Could Double Click expert kindly post it as 'Program of the Week'?

The Most important improvements of Turbo C to Pure C:
- Debugger will run in all resolutions tha provide at least a 80 * 25 char-
acter screen.
- It will able to debug DAs.
- There will be a new assembler with 68040-, NewLibraryFormat- and Debugger-
Support.
- The IDE provides a better HELP-function. You will find a symbol definition
very fast.

There will be no english documentation. Borland did not allow to translate
the docs.

Hope this helps.

And Sometimes I wonder about Un*x and my news software!
To give a digest of what was lost...
Word Up looks for the string "PATH=" in system ram. When I
set up an environment variable in NeoDesk 3.02, Word Up (last version)
found that instead and thought its files were on ".;". To work
around, set the first path for the environment variable to be Word
Up's home directory.
When debugging a NeoDesk problem, do not just disable all auto
programs and desk accessories, but also all the NeoDesk .inf, .not,
and .mac files. You may also have to run NeoDesk from the desktop and
you may have to turn off the fast-load bit on the program under test
(if you have Tos >= 1.4).
BTW, what is the correct way to find a program's directory?
This was discussed on c.s.a.st.tech a while ago, I forgot the outcome.
Word Up now has this bug, a bug that leaves the mouse hidden
