Hi,

 I got a copy of the fishlist1-350ascii.zoo and I tried to
uudecode it, but there were checksums all over the place !
Could the kind person who coverted it from EBCDIC to ASCII please
check this out ? If it is not an error in the file, could someone mail
it directly to me ?
Thanks a lot,

Subject:      Problem with FTing
To:           Espen Outtasight Lyngaas <EDB88002@NOBIVM.BITNET>

Hello,

Here I'm again!  B-)
Firstly, sorry for my dummy English,  I'm very aggresive for a month.  I
eat my cerebellum.  My FTP problem continues;

I have an Amiga  500.  (and archive utilies now !)  I ordered some Amiga
files (shell  archived) from PD  servers.  I  received them to  CMS disk
from my reader on mainframe.
The SH file is arrived to me recfm fixed file, I named it 'xxx shF' so I
was generate another recfm variable file 'xxx shV'
I  transfered them  to PC-formatted  diskets using  by PC3270  emulator.
Everything seems ok, but I try some transfer combination;

* receive xxx.shF  xxx shF (ascii       'Fixed form & Ascii format'
* receive xxxC.shF xxx shF (crlf ascii  'F.F & Ascii & carriage return'
* receive xxx.shV  xxx shV (ascii       'Variable form & Ascii format'
* receive xxxC.shV xxx shV (crlf ascii  'V.F & Ascii & carrige return'
WHICH ONE IS TRUE ?

In the home, I loaded Dos2Dos V3.0 on my Amiga and transfer my varied SH
files from DF0: into RAM: device.  I exited from Dos2Dos and copy all of
RAM files  into Amiga-Dos formatted  disket.  I  look at them  with DIR,
also see the file length with LIST command.  Everything seems weel...

But,,, I can't unshar these SH files on Amiga.

  > UNSHAR < XXX.SH
  extracting xxx.uu
  xxx.uu created

Unshar say  lie, (no  no, only  echo commands work well) B-)  It didn't
created!  I'm  looking for everywhere,  RAM, DF0, clipboards,  under the
keyboard,  over the  monitor, created  file is  nowhere.  I  try all  of
variable,fixed or crlf files, also try in-out redirection combinations.
WHERE AM I WRONG ?

I was trying to manually extract Shell Archive files.  Yes, I succeed,,,
on the mainframe XEDIT.  I can  extract included files.  I transfer them
PC-disk  to Amiga  disk again.   Now I  have a  lot of  UUencoded files.
(some  of them  ZUU files)  Now, I'm  ready to  figth them,  I have  the
archiver utilities ! B-)

   > UUDECODE xxx.uu    (or UUDECODE xxx.zuu)
   *grrn*grrn*grrn*     (drive crying)
   Can not open output file xxx

ARGGGGHHHH!!! I CAN'T UUDECODE THEM !

I checked my diskets, reformat,  clear, un-protect, retry etc.  Nothing,
nothing, nothing,,,  I CAN'T DO IT  I also use RAMdrive,  uudecode can't
open output file neither...

Later,,, I was using PC uudecode  program.  PC uudecoded all of my files
! I  was very  happy !  Everything seems clear!   Now, I  have a  lot of
uudecoded xxx files.   (some of them ZOO  file) I'm ready to  run my new
program, I have also ZOO archive utility.

   > RUN xxx
   *grrn*grrn*grrn*   (drive crying)
   system request: Gimme volume workbench
   *hhrn*hhrn*hhrn*   (takes the error message from workbench)
   can not load xxx is not an object module

ARRRGGGGGHHHHH! GODS OF AMIGA DAMN UUU !

Here is my last chance ! Now I have some ZOOed files.

   > ZOO -extrac xxx.zoo   (or -list or -test etc...)
   *cree*cree*cree*
   xxx.zoo is not an Archive file or corrupted...

HRRRRGGGG! ANIMALS LICKED UUU !

I try everyway as I know, everything  to comes to my mind.  But I can't.
Please give some advice to me. Where is my faults ? What must I do ?

In a german Computer Magazine called c't theere was a report, that
a COMDEX I believe some guys announced that board for a very low
price (about $400 :-) ) I think you'll find this article also in BYTE
in the 5/90 or 6/90 issue (In the c't it was 6/90 issue)

back in normal format :
when thy're back on the AMIGA you have to change all cr/lf into LF only
then you can uu**code 'em and than even dezoo 'em ...

I have been trying to get a C-Itoh 8510 dot-matrix printer to work with the

also tried to create one with PrtDrvGen from fish disk 90 without any success.

Has anyone got such a driver. I can do Anonymous FTP (in a round about way).

 Hi all,
        I thought I should remind the 'new' members of this list that its
 purpose is NOT to discuss how to get to the Nth level of MISSION IMPOSSIBLE
 or any other game.
        Please leave the discussion of games to the GAMES-L list, thats what
 its there for.

               FLAME OFF
                    Regards
                           Bill (WMORRISO@ESOC.BITNET)

Hi all!  I was wondering if anybody out there in Amiga land, could give me some
information regarding UUDecode/Encode.  I just got some files from a listserv,
and it appears they're all zoo'd and then uuencoded.  Can someone please mail
me a uudecode program, that's very easy to use and directions?  Please respond
back to me PERSONALLY.

Thanks,

Subject:      RE: Hard Drive Controllers??
To:           Espen Outtasight Lyngaas <EDB88002@NOBIVM.BITNET>

I've recently upgraded from an A500 to an A2000 with Fat Agnus, Microbotics
Hardframe and Seagate 46 Meg drive. The drive is setup with three FFS
partitions: 1 10meg, 2 18meg. The computer autoboots off of the 10meg partition.
To this day I have not had one problems using the drive. Setting the drive up
was also quite easy. The Hardframe comes with a setup diskette that does a low
level format and also creates all of the partitions for you. There is no need
to edit the mountlist at all. This is the only controller that I've tried
their may be better controllers, but I'm quite happy with the Hardframe.

I almost forgot the best part, the controller like many others can have a
3.5" drive mounted on the controller so the drive doesn't take up a drive bay.
The only drawbacks is that with the drive mounted it must be inserted in the
right most slot next to the CPU slot so that other cards will fit on the
motherboard. The other drawback is that there isn't a SCSI connector on the
backplane to connect external drives.

IMHO, GVP provides the best drive/controller combinations, even if they are a
little bit more expensive than most.  Their IMPACT A2000/HC+2/0 is a SCSI
controller which comes packaged with a variety of 3.5" hard drives on the
card, the ability to add 2M of expansion memory on the card, and an external
SCSI connector.  What a bargain!  And this controller boots off of a 1.3
FFS partition, unlike some controllers.  My wife has this one in her A2000.

GVP also has an IMPACT A2000-SCSI+8/0 which requires you to mount the drive
internally in the 3.5" or 5.25" drive bay, but allows up to 8M of expansion
memory.  Otherwise it is just like the IMPACT A2000/HC.  I have this one in
my A2000.

Also, if CBM has worked out all of the bugs, the A2091 is very much like the
GVP IMPACT A2000/HC, which may be a good bet too.

Is anyone aware of a NARRATOR.DEVICE and TRANSLATOR.LIBRARY that can
be used with the AMIGA.  Public domain would be preferred but if need
be I would purchase them.
