-
- These are various staff which will help some users. Let's see what we have:
-
-
-
- Comms (dir):
-
- BookMarks.HTML: My Voyager v2.88 hotlist for the WWW. Load it as a local file
- and if U like it, rename your old bookmarks file and copy it in your Voyager
- directory - I think that V is the best WWW browser for Amiga in present time.
-
- ibrowse-hotlist.html: My bookbarks for IBrowse as above. Same instructions as
- Voyager. Give them a look.
-
- IBrowse.prefs: My prefs file for IBrowse. Useful for Greek users. The fonts
- are for viewing english and greek pages. In the Aminet exist collections of
- greek fonts that are compatible with ISO directions. Also, I advise all the
- greek users to buy the Greek WB. It is a must.
-
- KOSTASBM.HTM: The same as above, but for Netscape. Sometimes I use my brothers
- PeeCee for net surfing (they have a 33.6 modem, mine's is 14.4 and Pentium MMX
- in 200MHz is faster in image decoding than my 68030 25MHz - but viva Aminet and
- Amiga sites). Have your amiga bookmarks in a PC.
-
- Online.prefs: For greek users. Copy it to ENVARC:Online/ drawer. It has all
- the various greek different pricing zones. Very useful for long distant net
- users. You can't imagine how easily you can overload your phone bill. The
- settings include in the telephone unit the 18% V.A.T. (F.P.A) and ofcourse the
- price is in drachmas. Ofcourse, to use it you must have installer Online-o-meter.
-
- Voyager.prefs: The same as IBrowse.prefs. Useful for greek users, with greek
- fonts in the settings. Rename your old prefs file and change the proxy
- settings - screen mode - viewers - data to fit your provider and copy
- it to your Voyager drawer.
-
-
-
- DOpusV5 (dir):
-
- My settings for DOpusV5. The most useful of all are the
- contents of the Filetypes drawer. Almost every filetype exists and all are
- shorted in Type, Name format (e.x. Picture, Jpeg or Animation, AVI etc..) so
- finding the filetype you want is easy. The viewers involved to decode the
- files are all from AFCDs or from Aminet. Edit the and suit them to your needs.
- Very useful for gfx card users and especially PicassoIV (see below). To
- install them just copy the relevant contents of the drawers to your DOpus
- location. I have made DOpus to run in my WB screen and open text files, modules,
- WWW pages there to minimize screen swaping. You need a rather big WB screen, so
- I recomment this to gfx card users.
-
-
-
- P96 (dir):
-
- These files associate with P96 s/w and users with gfx cards
- running P96 (especially PicassoIV).
-
- Devs/Picasso96Settings (for P96)
- Prefs/monitor.current (for PicassoModeTNG)
- Prefs/monitor.defaults (as above)
- These files contain configuration for the Philips 107B
- 17" multisync monitor. This monitor has 13 PC-Mac resolutions memory positions
- and 4 for new user modes. It has frequency rates 30-66Khz vertical and 50-130Hz
- orizontal. In the factory presets I fitted the NTSC flickerfixer (VGA is a
- scan doubled NTSC overscan!!! - 640x480 31.5Khz/60Hz), 320x200 30.5Khz/70Hz,
- 320x240 31.5Khz/60Hz (share the preset with NTSC), 640x480 35Khz/67Hz, 800x600
- 38.5Khz/60Hz, 1024x768 60Khz/75Hz. In the 4 new user mode we have: PAL
- flickerfixer mode, 320x256 and 640x512 sharing the same memory preset position,
- 1280x1024 and 1600x1200. The PAL/NTSC modes are the defaults (I have not
- changed them), all the screenmodes are 8bit/16bit/24bit except 1600x1200 which
- is 8bit only. I think that any multisync monitor with the same specifications
- of mine's could use these settings. To use them copy them to the appropriate
- drawers (after renaming the old ones, just in case...) and then reboot or
- command PicassoModeTNG to reload the default settings.
-
-
- Scripts (dir): These are simple replacements of my startup-sequence.
- Sadly, many games/demos are badly programed and can't cope with P96 s/w. So, I
- wrote these 3 scripts, made the executable and placed them to my Sys: dir, so
- if I want to see the x demo, I boot with no Startup-Sequence and in the command
- line I simply write PAL, or maxmem etc... Modify them to fit your own needs.
- For expert users only. The Maxmem variance is a cutdown startup which is
- faster, leaves as max memory free as possible and as less compatibility
- problems (the less s/w loads, the less conflicts between programs happen).
-
- Speed (dir): This drawer contains measurements of my amiga's speed. The 2
- first are for AIBBv6.5, the third is the results of my PicassoIV-P96 speed with
- IntuiSpeed and the 2 last are for SysSpeed v2. Why two and not one? Because
- the one is for MCP's SpeedRamsey option turned on and the other for the same
- option off. I had that option on, but it seems that A4000's ram bus speed
- can't cope with the increased speed as more far on the left is the SIMM's place
- (always talking for 60nsec SIMMs). So, when I had 4MB fast ram (on the right
- side), no problem, with 8MB some rare unexplained crashes, with 12MB often
- crashes for no reason, and with 16MB (left side full- the processor is in the
- right side) when I click the option on, as soon as I pressed Test,my amiga
- crached and warm reset did nothing, I had to cold reset from the switch, the
- damned think did not even booted, just flickering the green light!!!
-
- MyWorkbench.iff24: This image shows what a gfx card can do and my WB in all
- its glory. Try play Gloom Deluxe, read your e-mails, view your favourite WWW
- page in true color and admire great pictures all the same time in your little
- tiny snail AGA WB. Be a man, go and buy a gfx card (get a PicassoIV no more
- flickering, no more twin monitors anymore, do it all in one, work and fun).
- The image is in 1280x1024x16bit. I grabbed this image just for fun. Normally,
- I use a 1024x768x8bit wb and a 800x600x24bit screen for WWW, because even
- in my 17" monitor thinks look too small (damn 21" - U need to have a bank safe
- full of gold for them) and I have configured my viewers to open the appropriate
- screen depending the image size I want to see (a 320x200 image looks VERY SMALL
- in a 1280x1024 screen, so a 320x200 screen is more helpful).
