Perhaps some nice new ways to queue tunes using CLI/ARexx port are needed in order to support AMuse etc?

Some questons so far: cli commands do not allow me to expunge the file entries tunenet loads on startup (PROGDIR:tn_deflist.m3u).
And: how to communicate with tunenet via arexx? Readme doesn't say a thing about it. I wish there's arexx interface and an old wish of mine: to query the current playback time....

Thanks,

This will work if the files come after each other in the list so:

TuneNet mp3:track1.mp3 mp3:track2.mp3 will play them as gapless.
(I've a fixed exe which will be released soon for the -load and relative path issues).

Perhaps some nice new ways to queue tunes using CLI/ARexx port are needed in order to support AMuse etc?

Yep. The inevitable is here. Gapless playback is a must. And to find a way to make the notification server to display the relevant album cover.

What Palm Apps. are commonly used by Amiga users? (The basic ones, being datebook, to-do list, memopad, and the addressbook are being addressed.)

What Equivalant apps are used on Amiga? (I'm initially developing it to convert datebook to limpidclock, addressbook to YAM's address book, while memopad and to-do lists will probably end up as Amigaguide or HTML formats)

Are there any specific "needs" any Amiga user with a PalmOS PDA has?

Hey, add one here

I use old trusty zire21 here. Best 100 bucks I spent on electronic equipment (price/preformance-wise).
And I use AOS4 (fixed A1XE).
I use addressbook, schedule app, notepad, memopad. And some 3-rd-party studd like isilo viewer and a dictionary. I'm very interested in bringing support for usb palm devices to AOS4.

It support only audio over audio cable. So it is no use for Sam users with sata cables. TunesNet play the audio via software like any modern system... just lack the CDDB

Why should one play the data via software? Sounds like one hellova recourse hog to me, just encode them into something sensible with tags and play. If you still insist, the app doesn't now it plays cddb. In your situation, the audio is presented as regular files by the cd filsystem. PlayCD etc calculate the CD ID using track lengths on the media itself.

Anyway, TuneNet rocks here, I love the OSD display

actually this did'nt work for me (said I was missing some libraries etc) but I just re-installed the base package and all was fine with my different apps in order

No need to reinstall:
copy Backups:sys20100117/Libs/sysvipc.library libs:

And if needed: copy from your backup's devs:internet/ users+groups files as well. Default setup doesn't require this step, it's nedded only in case you run cygnix as different than root (pseudo)-user.

I looked with text editor into ringhi binary and found "C:echo %s NOLINE >Ram:tmp.txt" that might provide a clue.

Another issue:
looks like booting from jxf partitions isn't supported yet (I installed slb_v2 1.19).
Meanwhile worked it around by formatting old partition once used by linux kernel with sfs and copying the Kicktart dir there.

Gone to explore more (AmiCygnix apps crash)

Edit: Amicygnix required copying a file from backup as per its system requirements:

What has openssl to do with that besides that implementation of openssh protocol will require openssl library.

As to mui gui, muicon is n enhanced con implementation, and theres sshcon.
We need a tabbed console window anyway. Not for ssh only, but for AOS itself.
Once there's one with proper terminal capability (ansi/vtxyz etc), the existing ssh port will benefit from it.

It would be nice, but porting windows tool with to AOS sounds one PITA.
Edit: just saw there's an unix version too, appears to be a gtk one, that implies cygnix...

I would like too cee muicon from mos or similar on aos.
Meanwhile stuck with VinCEd till something better materializes.
OT: ssh server for AOS would be a nice thing to have too.

It was up for about 15 mins before I went out. I'd left it running, but when I got back the screen was black with no video again.

Well, it was hybernating; DPMS mode or something like that. Usually moving the mouse or SpaceBar brings it back. This sounds like maybe your problem - switching out of hybernation or boots up in this mode? Did you change anything in Prefs/Screen Blanker lately?

But that wouldn't result in vga error after reset.
The card doesn't care if the display is there or not.
I would start with LiveForIt's and Raziel's hints.
And checking/cleaning the dust inside the agp clot wouldn't harm.
Even cleaning the contacts with alcohol or other appropriate substance (while the power chord is disconnected).

So... to recap...

I might be in the market for a printer to use both with my mac and my A1.

I am basically looking for a printer that supports postscript?

If you are looking for network printer, then postscript is the only choice I'm aware of.
Another option is too hook it to mac and share it. If you can share it as socket or lpd printer, then from amiga side it isaccessed in the same way as regular network printer. And in this case postscript is desired as well.

If you want to be able connect it physically to both machines: I have no idea how usb printers are supported under AOS4. Serial/parallel connection should work. I have no experienceto share for this case.

Xsane is a GUI to sane, sane uses various "backends" to access the hardware (parallel port/usb etc.), these have to be written for AOS, so (imho) it won't be just porting..

Re: Resize an array in C

@all

One could make a C++ class with proper resize functions and assertions for access beyond the allocated size.
And add to the mix proper equivalents for string functions .
And also make it a template class to unbind the array from specific data type.

I bet STL has something that does that.
