So do vending machines....

Its a shame because Sensible came out with some all time greats. A Cannon Fodder 2006 would be welcome, but it is almost 2007 now so Cannon Fodder 2007.

Not a bug, a feature.

Arrgghh AmigaBasic. Although it wasn't bad.

A couple of issues and one answer.

Issue #1:

Screen font corruption when using x-server X/Geek with debian/x86 box. Exported displays showed corrupt fonts on anything from KDE ( konsole, konqueror ).

Answer: Don't use 32/24bpp screenmode with X/Geek ( see startup file in s: ). Now works fine.

Issue #2:

Terrible slowdown with XGeek. This I can't resolve. It used to be on the higher depth screenmode the performance was just dreadful. Now on the lower depth screenmode ( 16/8 bpp ) it just slows down after a lot of use.

I'm trying to remember what decent programming languages there were on Amiga OS 2.x and AmigaOS 3.x.

Asm

DevPac

C

DICE
Maxxon
Lattice
GCC ( Geek Gadgets )

Basic

GFABasic
AMOS ( not that decent )
Blitz

Other

E

I'm sure there were more? Pascal? ADA?

If it doesn't violate any copyright on the CD have you thought of putting the self extracting exe online so it can be unpacked by someone else and repacked in lha format?

( if the unarchiverrs don't work that is )

Yeah but developer kits weren't so widespread back then either.

I remember having to wait two months for a developer CD. Then having to buy Lattice.

Even E was shareware and wouldn't compile files greater than a certain size. Most freeware was AMOS crap or SEUCC rubbish.

Yeah right, whats your name an "anagram" of.

How empty must the lives of those who join just to wind people up be?

Orgin

If you get access, let me know, I'll set it up for you in a few hours.

Whats wrong with the main server? Anything anyone else can give you help with?

Sayes its a VNC server for AmigaOS4, not a vnc client ( readme )

Nah its the 4th of January 2007.

A monthly boing bag for update owners would satisfy me. But I think they might want new users too!

The 35th of December is my bet!

Back in serious mode again, I don't mind when they release the final version. Update 4 is very very good.

We could start some. How about it is just waiting for the Dancing Banana screensaver to be finished.

Is this just someone wanting to create a problem where there isn't one again?

Pretty ignorant niggling.

Seems to be back?

Origin

I'm sorry to hear you are pissed off running os4depot, it is a great resource and very appreciated.

There is no point panicking. It sayes the site was compromised so once Orgin has it figured out it will probably come back.
