This is the sort of question I really hate to post to the net, but I'm

email me with Atari Corp's address? I believe it is in Sunnyvale...

Gee, I don't know but I think that Atari must be on the Moon
cause I have my doubts about their sanity ( Lunatics ya know :-) ).
But seriuosly they are in Sunnyvale CA. I even saw their office
building several years ago when I happened to be out there for
business.
Ah yes, Sunnyvale Religious Atarian's Mecca!!
Go there and pray to the Great Lords Tramiels!@!

Subject: Earlier monitor questions
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Thanks to all those who answered my earlier queries about monitors for the ST.
It looks as though my best best for sharpness and high resolution for less
than $1000.00 is to use a 640x400 res mono monitor on my vintage ST. Now I
have new questions:
1. Is the Atari monochrome my best option, i.e. is its sharpness as good as I
can expect from any monochrome in the <$1000.00 price range?
2. What are some other paper-white monos in the $200.00 - 500.00 range that
are better?
Beta Testing
A note to those who offered to beta test my hypertext text editor--please send
me a snail mail address so I can mail you some DSDD disks with the program and

Reply directly to the header address or try one of the following.

Anyone familiar with ESDI harddrives. I have a chance to buy a

I figure I'll have to get an atari->scsi host adpater and then a scsi

Please excuse my ignorance here, I've never heard of ESDI.

I think the solution is to add 2 more lines in your code:
1. **Before** drawing the grow-box do a
'form_dial(FMD_START, 0,0,0,0, dlg_x, dlg_y, dlg_w, dlg_h)'
This is supposed to reserve screen for your dialog.
2. **After** drawing the shrink-box do a
'form_dial(FMD_FINISH, 0,0,0,0, dlg_x, dlg_y, dlg_w, dlg_h)'
This frees screen space, AND sends a REDRAW message
(the values of the constants FMD_START and FMD_FINISH
are 0 and 3 respectively)

Get the official english version of Gemini 1.21 (or was it 1.2)? Should be

The new version of Mupfel will just run fine without GEM. You can use it
from within the auto folder with MiNT. PERHAPS there will be support for
some MiNT features -- when will we see MiNT 0.9??

I'd be thankful if anybody could help me out with this: There are
two points defining a line in the area (-long,-long),(long,long). I
need anything outside the area (-short,-short),(short,short) clipped
off, while preserving the slope of the line. I'm absolutely lousy
at math and anybody who can point me in the direction of a solution
would save me a sackful of grief. (Grief is measured in sackfuls.
Frustration comes in bales and anger in pecks. Stupid emotional
measurements come in threes.)
Thanks for any help...

Yep, we made _sure_ we had everything wired in properly before we started
banging our heads against the desk... Is the MMU with No. C0 100109-001
the bad one, or a newer one?
To restate my problem a little more clearly:
I have an old 1040STf with 2.5M due to a Z*RAM upgrade. The Z*RAM has put
2M in bank 1, leaving bank 0 at .5M... I bought some SIMMs, my friend
wired them in properly as a 2M bank 0, and it wouldn't work at all.
So we took them to my friend's old 1040STf. He tried to wire them in as
bank 0. Wouldn't work. So he wires them in as bank 1 (essentially giving
him the same setup as me, but with SIMMs instead of a Z*RAM card) and it
works properly.
Neither of us could put 2M into bank 0. When the SIMMs were wired up in
bank 0, we removed the top address line, essentially fooling the ST into
thinking they were 256k SIMMs... We booted, and it thought it had 512k
in bank 0, no problem. The SIMMs are fine, and our STs are fine. We
assume it's some weird "feature" of an older MMU.
Looking in his parts catalogue, we fine an ST/Mega MMU with part number
X (I didn't write it down, and the book's at his house). A little later
in the book, we find a Mega MMU, with a different part number.
Has anyone gotten an old 1985 (whether stock or modified) 1040STf to take
4M or RAM? Should we spring for either of the new MMUs to see if that'll
fix our problems? Should we start looking for a cheap Mega 4?

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Grueazi everybody !
I recently downloaded the program DCRUNREZ.PRG from a.a. What I understood from
their description
is, that I can run any program no matter of the screen resolution my monitor
has.
So I tried it out and had no success. DCRUNREZ.PRG didn't run any program beside
the one with
the extension .PR3 which would mean to run it in high resolution.
I have an STe and the normal SM124 mono monitor.
Did I misunderstand anything ?
Did anyone else succeed in working with this program meaning what did I wrong ?
Ciao,
Manfred

Isn't this rather the same type of rumour as was flying about when the STe
was about to be launched. All the magazines reported that the new STe was
going to have features such as better graphics resolutions, 16MHz
processor etc, (i.e. what the Atari user community wanted from the new
machine), rather than what Atari was likely to put in the new machine.
When we all saw what the enhancements to the STe actually were, I think most
Atarians were disappointed. I feel that this disappointment was the start
of the decline of the ST in the UK. From the magazine "guesses" about the new
STe, I wouldn't be surprised if some people held back from buying a ST
until the STe actually came out. When it didn't have the Amiga beating
features it was expected to have they probably bought a different machine
(a diplomatic description or what :-) ). I also felt that the time was rife
for an upgraded ST machine, and perhaps if Atari had got the STe right
(i.e with enhanced features that existing owners would want), then there
might have been a lot of STe sales from exisining users wanting to upgrade.
All the above IHMO of course.
;-)

Sorry again, he has made modifications to TeX macros (it's the
`german.sty' macros) and he has modified the CM fonts!!!!
Please: do not use these tfm-files, unpack the original tfm-files.
They should be in a separate lharc archive called `tfm_ori.lzh'.
It's also unnecessary to change the macros in `german.sty'.
If the umlaut characters in your TeX output hang below the baseline,
if you are using the original `german.sty'...
.. it's *not* `german.sty', it's your incorrect dvi driver!
> >passautex:

It's a fault of the persons maintaining the `rusinfo' ftp archive.
PasTeX (for the Amiga) and br-TeX (my version for the ST) uses the
same sources for initex/virtex.

Just out of curiousity, why would anyone spend almost $1800
on an old mega st? I mean it isn't even the Mega ST with the better
graphics? And for a few bucks more you could buy a color TT or
even better yet a color mac LC !!
I mean selling old ST is real hard right now and especially high end machines
like David's Mega.
I should knowe I have a mega ST 2+2 with TOS 1.4, FAST TECH's T16
a 160 meg hard drive and both monitors. I doubt that I could get $1750
for it either!! Even thiough I have probably $3000 invested in it.
So, I will just keepo my mega st and use it for games!!
