I just wanted to see if i could get a note from bitnet to comp.sys.amiga
also i wanted to comment on V1.3 of the OS i just got my new amiga world
today and the main subject is 1.3 it said that these R the changes in
the new operating system... and they were looking at a beta copy so i
guess its pretty reliable.
 Three new devices:
                   1) recoverable ram disk.
                   2) AUX: allows a dimb term to run a seperate task
                           but i think i saw this in PD somewhere b4.
                   3) Speak: like the say command but it becomes like the
                             prt: device... you can copy a file to it and it
                             also has new logic (sounds more real)

 six new commands:
                  1) MORE let you look at text files.
                  2) CMD  redirects prt: output to a file
                  3) Savescreen  Saves screen in IFF format
                  4) Xicon lets you execute batch files from WorkBench
                  5) Setfont lets you set something besides the topaz font as
                             the default system font
                  6) PIPE (only from the cli) lets you redirect output of one
                          program directly into another program.
also an improved run command is included.
One thing i thought unexpected is that the FFS will only work for the
Hard Drives and MOUNTed drives (not the Amiga 3.5" drives)
anyone from CBM want to comment on this?

Also microsmiths Fast Fonts are used to speed up the display, and lots
of new printer drivers R in there... (Just put your nose up to the jar...
its in there... its all in ther...) Spaghetti Sauce Commercial
oh well... If i forgot something dont sue me and If you need a tax
 deduction I am open for contributions.    ;-)
