The 640x400 resolution is great for programs like Calamus DTP, Timeworks DTP, CAD programs etc etc TOS and text-based applications still use only the upper half 640x200 as this gave the best results with most of the programs I tested :-) 640x400i.prg This program uses INTERLACE to display 640x400 """""""""""" on a standard TV with no up/down scrolling !!! It flickers some (no way around that without a hardware modification), but if you adjust your contrast and use 60Hz it's better than Amiga :-) Installation Both programs should be in the AUTO-folder (but """""""""""" not both at the same time). During a normal boot they will NOT install. To make them install you must hold down one of the SHIFT keys during boot. The programs need a STE or a MEGA STE to work !!!

Baggett) Subject: Elvis Inserts Newlines in my Files To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu I've been using Elvis (a vi clone) for quite some time now, but just recently discovered that the version I have (from atari.archive) sometimes inserts newlines at seemingly random points in large files. Since most of the work I do is on source code with < 32K source modules, I never noticed the problem until now. Anybody know of a fix for this problem, or have a newer version of Elvis? I've tried Levee too, and would use it except for the 32K file limit. (Is there a more recent version of levee without the 32K restriction?)

To: Info-Atari16@naucse.cse.nau.edu I read a message not too long ago that meantioned a UNIX windowing interface called Unix Windows that would run on the ST. I was very interested so I ftp'd it over from atari.archive. My problem: it don't work :-) First I ran win.prg on the ST. Boy, looks nice. I kinda had the idea I would be able to use it to make the connection to the remote system but all I get is a blank window (the pull downs and everthing works). My next step was to compile the server program (uw) on the SUN system that I use. Then I ran the uw program.. whew, no core dump. Crossing my fingers, I exit my term program (uniterm) and run win.prg. Still, I get nothing. The RS232 setup is correct. It tells me the UW is not running whenever I try to open a window. I cannot type in any of the windows on the screen. I fear that the problem might be that I am trying to run the program on a color system. One of the readme's said it would only run on mono systems. Is this a case? Is there a fix? Am I doing something totally wrong (likely). Please help... thanks.... -- Christopher L.

It only runs on monochrome systems. I had this EXACTLY :-) same problem. You need to run a monochrome emulator first -- then it will run fine. Unfortun- ately the display aint going to look so hot.

Once in your editor, insert your game rating between the word "vote" and the system code and game title. Your rating must be an integer between 1 and 10. There must be at least one blank on either side of your rating. Make sure the word vote appears at the start of each rating. If you do not want to rate a particular game, just DELETE THAT LINE FROM THE BALLOT. When you are finished, SAVE THE FILE, and exit the editor. The votes will be sent to the game rating tabulator. The general guideline for ratings is: 8-10 worth buying at full price 6-7 worth buying at a discount, or if you're particularly interested in this kind of game 3-5 only worth renting 2 only worth playing for free, and only for a few minutes 1 worthless If you want to vote for additional games, just add them at the end, in a format similar to the existing entries. Be sure to include the system code right before the title. This code is one of the below: AL = Atari Lynx AM = Commodore Amiga GB = Nintendo Game Boy GG = Sega Game Gear GS = Apple II GS MA = Apple Macintosh NE = Nintendo NES and Famicom NG = SNK NeoGeo PC = IBM PC, PS/2, and compatibles SG = Sega Genesis and MegaDrive SF = Nintendo Super Famicom ST = Atari ST TG = NEC TurboGrafx-16, TurboExpress, and PC Engine Thanks for participating in the rec.games.video ratings poll.
