- There IS such a group for this purpose: comp.sys.amiga.advacoy.
- Unfortunately, no matter what we have tried to do (having a dedicate group,
- posting monthly reminder), there're always some fanatics jumping around
- trying to convert the rest of world. My advice, just ignore these people and
- the topic (I'm not even following my own advice :-)

- Anyway, the only thing inferior to a Mac in the standard sound catagory is
- an IBM PC.

-
- So is AmigaOS. VAXen, like it or not, are getting mighty slow and mighty
- expensive by modern standards. That's why "cbmvax" here is a DECstation 5000,
- based on the MIPS R3000, not a VAX anymore. VMS, like UNIX, is a real
- multiUSER OS, while AmigaOS isn't. And it does have some elegance here and
- there, but for the most part it's butt ugly, IMHO. Referring to "Rico's Molly
- Benchmark Chart" here, I find the VAX 6320 under VMS doing 4.5 mollies, with
- the A3000 doing 7.3 under UNIX. Now who's the "toy"? (Answer: the MicroVAX,
- which does 1 molly, compared to the PC-AT at 1.1).

-
- I thought we were talking about VMS.... Now, if you put UNIX on that VAX
- 6320, then it would run circles around that A3000 running its flavor of
- *nix. Hardware-wise, the A3000 could hardly run VMS. Just because VMS
- is a "dog", one does not need to condem the hardware. VMS is slow.
- UNIX is fast. They originated and were designed around different OS
- concepts. They can't be compared. But, you seem to fall into the
- falicy of Multitasking... Yes, actually, VMS does multitask, just in a
- different way than most other OS's... All multitasking on the above
- mentioned machines is more like "time-sharing". It is not until you have
- MULTIPLE processors, running concurrently that you would get true
- multitasking...

-
- Sounds like Atari in the USA is in about the same state as it is in Australia.
- The thing is that Atari is not making the public aware the type of machine
- the Atari is or what type of work it can do. A recent advertisement in
- Australia shows a teenager in his room playing Captain Blood on the Atari ST.
- I wonder why the Atari is still tought as a games machine here.
- What did Atari in Germany do to get such a good reputation there?

- Subject: Help with altboot4.0e
- To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu
-
- I need HELP with Altboot 4.0e.
-
- If you know what this program is (it lets you boot alternate configurations
- when you hold down ALTERNATE) then please attempt to assist me.
-
- When executing my configuration files, all works well until I try to add
- a modifier for another type of file. Ex: To load a different desktop.inf,
- you enter a single-digit, such as "0" or "1" followed by return. ALTBT will
- then rename DESKTOP.IN0 to DESKTOP.INF and the previous DESKTOP.INF will
- have been renamed to what it was previously (DESKTOP.IN1 or some other).
-
- I cannot get it to do this with a list of data (FILE.LST). This data file
- tells my Ramdisk copier what files to copy to Ramdisk upon bootup. I
- maintain many lists of FILE.LST (so they will give me flexibility with this
- programme). One will go with a 52K configured RAMdisk and copy UUD/UUE to
- RAM. another FILE.LST copies GIF viewers to RAM.
-
- Here is an example of a configuration file which works.
-
- hd_reset.prg enable hdreset
- hdstrt10.prg Pick progs from a menu
- codekeys.prg Install codekeys
- lgselect.prx Don't want a file selector now
- 1 desktop.in1 = current desktop.inf
- codekeys.acc Make codekeys work too
-
- Now, according to the documentation, I should enter a "#" on an empty line;
- then the files with their path in order to rename 'em. So, I add:
-
-
-
- #
- a \ file.lst 1 file.ls1 will be current file.lst
-
-
- However -- With these two additional lines, Alt-Boot ignores my configuration
- file completely. EXCEPT for the fact that it *does* say, "FILE.LS1 current
- FILE.LST" That is, it does *not* modify my programs/accs as specified in
- the beginning of the configuration file.
-

-
- Isn't this getting just a little bit silly? I think the `one program per
- week' thing is a bit out-of-hand.
-
- 1. AltCntlShiftH is more complicated than moving the mouse.
- 2. Why would you WANT to do it anyway?
- 3. IF Homey intercepts traps (it probably doesn't though), then
- it is another slow-down.
-
- Please, I AM NOT MEANING TO DISCOURAGE, I just wanted to give my opinion.

- Small, useful programs are excellent. But really, they HAVE to be useful.

-
- I'll try. :-) I tried this program many moons ago also. It does NOT
- work on a color system. I didn't try using it with any of the mono
- emulators so perhaps that would be your first move. If you have Mac
- emulation, you can try running Maclayers under the Mac OS. It works
- better than uw anyway. You can get it through anonymous FTP from

- Obviously nothing good can come out of this flame war, and it would just
- be an annoyance to us. Since we were uninvolved at the start, I don't
- see why you should involve us now. Please learn to ignore people who
- flame just for the sake of flaming.
-
- Perhaps you should create a comp.sys.atari.st.advocacy. Our .advocacy
- group has become quite a place for debate, and flame wars are not so
- frequent anymore. In fact, there is sort of a side-discussion about
- how advanced the DOS routines in TOS are compared to AmigaDOS'
- dos.library. You are welcome to come over join in. Please don't
- bother flaming, though. We're looking for real discussion, not trash.

- Just trying to keep the peace in c.s.amiga.*,

- Help,
-
- Maybe I have this whole thing wrong. UW sounds great, but I thought it
- was for the ST. Does is require GCR to emulate a MAC to use this program?
- I finally know where it is, but I guess I can't use it.

- Steven,
-
- Also in the telecomm directory are file to use uw with the atari. I
- am currently using it right now.. I will post a message in a couple
- days to tell you exactly what files are needed. I set it up 2-3
- months ago.. Although I hate using it, cause I only have a color
- monitor and it requires mono monitor only.. Anybody out there
- thinking of porting it to color? Would be appreciated by a few people
- I am sure....
