Subject: '020 and '030 C compilers..
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Me and a friend are working on a small '030 system which will start
out as nothing but memory and an RS232 port. Anyways... In the past
my friend had the Atari ST developers kit from way back and he used it
when he built his own small 68000 system. He was able to use the Alcyon
C compiler to generate code for his system. We'd like to be able to
generate '030 or at least '020 code on the ATari ST if possible. Is a
cross compiler available. Will the GNU C compiler do this... thanks...

Ok, I checked into COD shipping, and it is fairly expensive. Instead, I would
like a
check or money order (prefer a money order). If you send a money order I'll pay
shipping. If you send a check please include and extra $3(american) for
shipping. You can send off the check/money order as soon as you wish. Something
I forgot to mention is that this comes with "The Calamus guide to desktop
publishing", or something like that. If you send me and extra $10 I'll include
about 7 megs! of fonts I have converted from Mac format (forgot to mention that
too).

True, my idea of that file to use mouse clicks for typewritten keys may
not be very useful to those who can type VERY quick, but you did bring up
a good point - anyone having problems with their hands may find some use for
it. And it would just be nice to be able to do everything without needing
to hit the keyboard. If I could program on the ST, I'd do it myself.
Here's how I was thinking it could be like:
a GEM window opens, and inside is a replica of the keyboard - just click on
the key to send the character as if you would have pressed the key itself.
this way you could access all the Function keys, etc as well.
I dunno, it would be something novel, if nothing else...

While such a utility may be useful for people with disabilities, it
is just silly for anyone else. Even if you are a bad typist, how
could you "poke keys" with a mouse pointer on a fascimile keyboard
any faster than you could poke real keys with your finger on a real
keyboard? You still need to "hunt and peck" in the same inefficient
way. If you are insistant on using the mouse for text input, at least
come up with an interface that is more suited to mouse movements than
finger motions. I'd recommend getting a program that teaches you to
type. It's a worthwhile investment of your time if you plan to use
computers to any degree in the future.

There is a very good hint book sold by Arthur Brown Company. Three levels

The ICD Hosta Adaptor is available here from E.Arthur Brown for about $90 US.
This is the best price i've found on it. I don't have their catalogue or

Subject: OMEGA; New version at archive.cs.ruu.nl
To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
A few days ago Hildo Biersma announced a new version of the dungeon game
Omega. This program is now also available in Europe!
From his announcement:
This new version was needed because the last version had
a serious bug, causing the game to crash quite often when loading
a saved game. This bug has been corrected in the new version so,
if you are playing this game, please switch to the new version!
You can get the game from our Atari archive by anonymous FTP or by our
mail-server.
Hildo also uploaded a new version of the Moria game.
________________________________________________________________________
We, Computer Science department, Utrecht University, are running an
anonymous FTP server on one of our systems. In addition to the FTP
service we're also running a mail server, for those of you without
direct Internet access.
--> How to get 'Omega and Moria' via anonymous FTP:
Site: archive.cs.ruu.nl [131.211.80.5]
Login: "anonymous" or "ftp"
Password: your own email address (you@your_domain)
Files: ATARI-ST/games/omega.zoo
ATARI-ST/games/moria.zoo
--> How to get 'Omega and Moria' via e-mail from our mail-server:
NOTE: In the following I have assumed that your mail address is
"fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu"; of course you must substitute
your own address for this.
** PLEASE USE VALID DOMAIN ADDRESSES. DO NOT USE ADDRESSES **
** WITH ! and @ MIXED !!!! BITNETTERS USE USER@HOST.BITNET **
Send the following message to
mail-server@cs.ruu.nl
or the old-fashioned path alternative
uunet!mcsun!hp4nl!ruuinf!mail-server
begin
path fred_flintstone@stone.age.edu (SUBSTITUTE *YOUR* ADDRESS)
send ATARI-ST/games/omega.zoo
send ATARI-ST/games/moria.zoo
end
The path command can be deleted if we receive a valid from address in your
message. If this is the first time you use our mail server, we suggest you
first issue the request:
send HELP
A complete "ls-lR" listing of the archive is kept in the top-level
directory, it will be updated every night. To get it, issue the command:
send ls-lR.Z
That's all for now. If you encounter problems using the FTP service
and/or the mail-server, feel free to drop me a line (by e-mail, please).

It MAY be that the files (it's a LZH file right?) are compacted with the
newer LH5 method (so if you're using LHARC060 or LZH11321 or family, it
won't work). I downloaded the files and believe had the same problem.
Get a copy of LZH201D or family (by this, I mean, LZH 200, etc) - bet you
it will work!

To Jerry McLAREN:
I have problems with the e-mail address you gave me:
mails can't help to bounce it seems...
Maybe I fooled myself in recording your address ?
However, Spider V1.4 is now ready and all bugs about
undoing moves seem to have disappeared.
I've modified the scoring rules and that makes the
game a little trickier to pass a 996 pts score...
The docs and entry panel are under reconstruction,
so I'll only send you the game, for the time being.
I'll also send you another game (same style) I wrote
in September and that i've dropped when I've discoverd
Spider... The name is Mariant.
I don't think that I'll upload Spider 1.4 neither
Mariant V1.1 to a.a. due to the poor (null indeed!)
response...

TOS 2.06 is availible for all ST's. You have to add extra hardware, because
the new PROMS are larger. In Germany TOS 2.06 costs 198.--DM (including
hardware and PROMs).
This was also the price for TOS1.04 when it was new (just for the PROMs).

I think there is a patch around somewhere. I recently obtained

the disk didn't work.
I'm sure someone out there knows of a patch available to you.

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
Atari Netters,
I don't know whether this will be of any interest
to anyone or not. But i'm sure that i remember a discussion
about the problems of unmsa'ing large (800K+) files on a
machine with 1Meg and one DS drive. I found that by using
FCOPYIII.PRG with it set to 82 tracks and 10 sectors per
track I could format a PC readable disk large enough to
get the file from my u*ix box to my atari. Once there I
used HRAMDSK2.PRG to create a ram disk of 840K on drive d.
I loaded the msa file into the ram disk, why not! And used
the old MSA.PRG to de'msa it.
I hope this is of use to someone!
