I guess that in my haste to get the new Kermit (which if it had 80 columns would be the best!) I got some of the sources without letting them completely update all the necessary files. However, I still am having problems. If the author, or the folks at CU20B would like to comment, I would love to start handing out the working sources. I feel real bad be- cause I have had people from Commodore requesting them and I am sending them files that won't compile. At least they are getting the working Kermit. Now off the subject... I was at the BADGE meeting again and had a wonderful time, and I heard this talk about some news release that Jay Miner of Amiga had put out speaking of new chips that had 1024x1024 graphics and could extend their address space to 2 meg (chip memory of 2 meg). *But*, that these were for the new Amiga machine and that they were not retro-fit-able in the Amiga 1000. So I go off to all my friends about how nice the *new* Amiga is going to be and one of them says, "No, these chips will be able to be put in the Amiga, look at the Memory Maps, see that space for 2 meg of memory. That is where these new chips come in. I know, I talked to them at Comdex." So, since I missed the release, and would love it if this guy was right, I thought this would be the place to get the record set straight. ??? comments anyone ??? -- ============================================================================== Randal Spencer - DEC, {amiga} Consulting - University of Southern California phone: (213) 743-5363 Arpa:Spencer@USC-ECL,USC-Oberon Bitnet:Spencer@USCVAXQ UUCP:...up to you!{{decvax,ucbvax}!sdcrdcf,scgvaxd,smeagol}!usc-oberon!spencer New permenant address (for several years anyway): Box 4542 Berkeley CA 94704 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
