As you're using UAE you might want something with a lot less overhead than SMTube, Try:

http://os4depot.net/index.php?functio ... le&file=video/misc/yt.lha

Just open a shell and run the arexx script with a youtube link, select the resolution and select play video.

Sounds like your connecting via pictbridge instead of MassStorage, there might be something in settings to fix that.

Another option is to install ftp server pro from the olive tree software, easy to find on play store and then use any amiga ftp client or browser to acess the tablet, works great with DOpus5.

why not just start yam with a simple dos script to set the clock back to a working date, start yam, wait for it to initalise then restore the date?

something like this should work:

You can also rename the file with filer, one of the few programs that can rename really long filenames that even c:rename can't handle.

The easiest way is to create a temporary drawer on the source volume and move eveything you want to backup into it. Then use:

lha a -3reFV1073741824 dest:archive.lha source:temp/

-3 = Use -lh6- compression
-r = recursive
-e = archive empty directories
-F = Use fast progress display
-V = Enable/set multivolume size(KB)

this should give you upto 200 archive files of 1GB each.

I don't understand why the OS should jump in with this line?

I checked the source file and this is the ONLY place where a ":" exists between two "><".
But if the OS tries to mount such, it is clearly a bug (Workbench or AREXX)[/qquote]

something is possibly pickingg up >: as a redirect to an impossible file.

@nbache

Opps, I'm not really into arexx and mess it up frequently which is why I do most scripts in dos or python (which is far easier to learn for the simple stuff I do).

I've never used ^ or even ** in a rexx script, I was mangling basic code as a basis for that example and it shows

@Raziel

inreverse order:

Q3:
The ARexx equivalent can be used in one of these ways:-

Format 1:-

IF expression THEN instruction clause
... rest of program

Format 2:-

IF expression THEN instruction clause 1
ELSE instruction clause 2
... rest of program

Format 3:-

IF expression THEN DO
instruction clause 1
instruction clause 2
instruction clause 3
END
ELSE DO
instruction clause 4
instruction clause 5
END
... rest of program


Q 2 & 1:

Arexx has a gosub equivalent that also wirks as a statement or function like in blitz that uses the call command:

using calls after exit() is no problem, you can have multiple exit() commands in a sript, think of it like the dos script quit command.

main:
if dog = awake then call feedit /*used as a gosuub*/
else call leavealone
call printmsg('finished') /*used as a statement*/
exit()

feedit:
rem give dog food
return

leavealone:
rem ignore dog
return 0

printmsg:
say Arg(1)
return 0

return can be a number or variable, using a variable is the equivelent of a function eg:

a=5
call square(a)
say a
exit()

square:
number=Arg(1)
ans = number^2
return ans

or simpler:

square:
return Arg(1)^2

Ok, I've checked and it seems every space as well as tabs are being replaced with ascii 160. As there is a $ thats needed for the version string I've replaced all spaces with underscore so cut'n'paste then replace all "_" with " " and it should work.

@daveyw

Try this version... Paste it into an something like notepad and do a search and replace to replace the $'s With spaces.

@xenic

I've edited the script again and replaced the tabs/0xA0 chars with 4 spaces, it should just copy'n'paste now.

@daveyw

just for a quick comparison, here is a python script to do the same thing.

This method will create a complete dest path recursivly and if you cd to the archive drawer before running the script and uncomment the path and unarc lines it will extract the archive.

There is a simple check of the archive suffix, add more to line 7 if you want to. gzip, bzip etc. are covered by the 'zip' entry so no need to add them.



Edit:
Added archive check and unarc stuff and fixed a few typos.

If you cut'n'paste this make sure the indentation is kept, all indented lines start with a single tab that will have been changed to a space by the site. a single space will still work but a tab makes it easier to read.

does't something like this work?

Keeping the original date/time is very important for me as a beta tester as it makes it easy to judge new versions/updates and dates of backup files.

The best solution is probably to make it a preferences option as dopus 4/5 does, that way everybody is happy.

use the alias command if you only want them for shell, FKey and/or macc if you want global access.

opena shell and type 'help alias' for more info...

@walkero

CDFS filesystem sounds like the stick is formatted for a mac as OS4 HFS support is built into CDFS and being 4GB it's the right size for a DVD-R etc.

probably easiest to get something like this:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/TRIXES-Adapte ... nes-Tablets/dp/B01AWJSVZY

then you can plug the card into your phone/tablet and 'erase' it.

@Thematic

usr: doesn't seem to make any difference.

I found that env:mplayer is coming from an envvar HOME which was somthing I had to sort out an mplayer problem which was later fixed.

deleted it and going to retry after rebooting.

EDIT:

Flare is now working properly, a userdata drawer was created with saves and mods drawers inside etc.

Thanks all!

I've got 1.06 working but it took a bit of fiddling...

If I don't have the following srawers:

env:.config/flare/
env:.local/share/flafe/mods/
env:.local/share/flare/saves/empyrean/

default setings are used and they have the hwsurface and font problems.

mods.txt must be in env:.config/flare/ or progdir:mods/, it can't find it in progdir:config/

After quitting the game the env: files have to be copied to envarc: or the save & config files are lost.

EDIT:

is the "CC-BY-SA" tooltype doing anything?
