@Elwood Didn't happen to me. Anyway, if you don't have a backup to fetch a recent prefs file and Sitelist from, it should still be easy to recreate your servers manually. The Hyperion one for public OS4 updates is update.amigaos.net, and the public third-party one is www.amiupdate.net. The credentials for the Hyperion updates are the same as your login credentials to your account on hyperion-entertainment.net; if your Sitelist is not intact, you should be prompted for them the first time you try getting any updates from there. (I don't remember if you're still an OS4 beta tester, but if so, you know where to ask for info about that.) Best regards, Niels

@broadblues Quote: I have the SAMs ram disk mounted on demand on the X1000 and by default on A600gs AmiBench. This is my default development setup, I use the SAM as a central server in this regard (also MKShare runs there, with WIP arm linux client in the background on my developmemnt version of the a600gs) The SAM also has an FTP server running for transferring to the laptop in the network. Ah, then it makes sense, of course. In the meantime I also found time to sit back and enjoy your video and blues - great as usual; thanks! And Merry XMas to you too. Best regards, Niels

@Boabster
NetFS is a native Amiga protocol, SMB is from the MS world.
But yes, NetFS can do the same, but usually better, since it knows about the Amiga file attributes etc.
What you do is mount (using the NetMount command in NetFS) the other system's drive (e.g. the RAM: on the Sam flex) as a drive on your local system and give it a name, e.g. SamsRam:, and then just copy to it as if it were a local drive. Then you can mount the same RAM: on a third system (in broadblues' case the X1000) and copy it from that mount to your local disk.
The only thing I don't get is why broadblues didn't copy it in one go directly to the X1000 by mounting a drive on that to the A600GS - or vice versa?
Best regards,
Niels

@Joeled Quote: Is it the same username and password for Amiupdate server and login to Hyperions homepage? Yes, it should be. Of course you need to have registered OS4.1 Final Edition in your account on Hyperion's homepage in order to see updates. Best regards, Niels

@Raziel Quote: and how would you duplicate the SiteList file for three different servers while keeping the same name? You don't, you put them in the same file. The first three lines for the first server, the next three lines for the next, and so on. At least that works here. But maybe AmiUpdate is smart enough to let the server name line be optional?

There are three (not just two) lines in the SiteList file for each server - server name, userid and password.

Thanks everybody for the suggestions and info!
However, I'm realizing we have long been off topic in this thread, so we should probably end this discussion.

@FlynnTheAvatar Quote: Update:
No, it is not.
Calling PRAGMA('W') without second parameters is (re-)enabling DOS requesters. Oh, you wanted to suppress requesters? Right, in that case, it looks like you do need PRAGMA('W', 'N'). I read the following in ARexxGuide.guide, which is usually quite accurate (but of course it could be wrong): Window [{'N'| 'W'}] Controls the display of system requesters (like 'Please insert volume...'). If the 'N' or 'Null' option is used, the requesters won't appear at all. The 'W' or 'Workbench' option is the default. It causes the requesters to be displayed on the Workbench screen and can also be called by using PRAGMA('W') without a second option. So if that crashes, I'm not sure what is happening.

@LiveForIt
If I have understood it correctly, the program wouldn't need to know anything about the UTF-8 .catalog. Locale would take care of that and give the program the string converted to the current system charset. Or what?

Niels

@joerg, @walkero
Okay, I suppose I need to investigate these possibilities closer.
I'll put it on the todo list.
But still, many translators will be even less inclined than me to learn these tools (whether LiteXL or the extra CharsetConvert step).
LiteXL seems very capable, but I'm really not so fond of the way its user interface works. It would require a massive effort for me to learn/get used to, which i don't have time for presently. My personal ideal of a text editor is NotePad++ on Windows - if only we had that or similar.
Best regards,
Niels

@joerg Quote: for example the catalog translation files can, and should, use UTF-8 instead of a 8 bit charset like the default ISO-8859-15, or other language/country specific 8 bit charsets. Sorry, joerg, for once I have to disagree with part of what you write. Yes, .ct files can use UTF-8, but as long as we don't have any text editor on AmigaOS which supports UTF-8, they shouldn't. It's just too much hassle for translators to maintain. Best regards, Niels (long time and still active translator of OS3.5, OS3.9, OS4.x and other products.)

@FlynnTheAvatar
Have you tried removing the null second argument to PRAGMA? It is optional when using option W.
Might be interesting to see if it makes a difference.

In principle, maybe. But newlib.library is a Kickstart module, so it will already be loaded before something like that is even considered.

@NinjaCyborg This is how mine looks:
.key DIR
; $VER: PCD 40.1 (9.2.93)
; This is a CD script that remembers the previous directory
IF "" EQ ""
Assign ofrom: ""
CD from:
Assign from: ofrom:
Assign ofrom:
Else
Assign from: ""
CD
EndIF
But of course msteed is right, I forgot about the internal PushCD/PopCD. Best regards, Niels

I'm not sure if this is the solution you want, but in S:Shell there is a small script called PCD which makes a CD, but remembers the dir you leave so you can get back to it afterwards.
So you could PCD to the dir where you want to be temporarily, and do what you want there, and then be back where you came from - if that makes sense?
BTW, the PCD script works by making temporary Assigns (which are global) and removing them again, quite clumsy I think. Maybe a nicer solution could be to set up the paths in local Shell variables and use them in your various CD commands or to prepend to the paths of the stuff you want to get or where you want to execute or whatever. But that's another story.
Best regards,
Niels

That's correct. I use it now and then.
I find it easiest to use the keyboard equivalent of Right Amiga G after highlighting the update you want to ignore in the scan results.
Oh, and @Primax: Be aware that the feature is intended to avoid one particular version of something, so the next time a new version of the Dutch localization is offered, you may need to iGnore it again.
Best regards,
Niels

@Primax Quote: AmiUpdate crashed at the end, saying: could not open update.library 53.21+ I updated AmiUpdate on a number of partitions (beta test as well as public and others) on a number of machines. It crashed like you describe only if I didn't use the self-update functionality. When I did, it worked fine. Best regards, Niels

@walkero IMHO, it's not worth it. People should just be better at scaling down when needed  . BTW, my screen res is 2560×1600 - just saying  . Best regards, Niels
