I see that some testing on different systems will definitely need to be done. However, I would think that the problem should be of no consequence to me, since the first thing I do is take a base sample of the joystick values so that any character movement will occur relative to the original values coming in from the port. As long as the port is active and works the program should compensate for any difference in returned values. We shall soon see. ...Eric...

I still have an affinity for using my stamp affixer gadget, so forgetting stamps won't be very likely. Okay, now I feel sure I remembered the stamp! :) On the other hand, if it doesn't arrive by 12/20/93, I'd like to know so I can alert the dead letter office!

The Ad Man at Microware has an interesting sense of humor ("great embedd"). It touts the 68040 VME board. I assume it operates with "lesser" processors in the family. Looks like the 68K family is going embedded while the PowerPC 6xx family is going to get all of the glory at both IBM and Apple. I requested the info on the PowerPC from Moto. It interesting but sad for the 68K. ...John [37m--- RiBBS v2.02 * Origin: Benchboard BBS, Lansing MI 517-394-2447 Go OS9!

The OSK/BINK/KBBS group is looking for compatable program sources that can be ported to the OS9-68K system. External programs such as bundle, unbundle, cparslst, nodeprocess, autofrl, rtick, ltick, looknode, getmsgs etc. are needed along with programs for creating menus, creating a userlog and editing same. Also needed is all normal BBS msg handling, archiving, tossing etc programs that I have missed. Note that these program names are RiBBS names and their counterpart in other BBS systems can also be considered. Program sources in C are preferable but basic09 and assem. may be used as long as they are documented sufficiently to assist the programmer doing the port. At present there is a port of Binkley being implemented and it is intended to use Binkley as the mailer portion. All authors that contribute will be noted in the docs for the new OSK BBS. It is to be a public domain release and will be designed to run on any OS9-68K platform. Please contact me, Warren Hrach at the Ocean Beach BBS (619) 224-4878 Fido net/node 202/343, 12, 24, 9600 baud v.32b. or by mail, 4369 Newport Ave. San Diego, CA 92107. Contributions can be on 3.5" 720K OS9 format disks or 1.4 meg OS9-68K format. 5.25" OS9 360K disk format also acceptable. This msg. crossposted on OS9, RIBBS and MM1_TECH Fido echos. If someone will post on Delphi and/or Internet it will be appreciated. -Warren Hrach, RiBBS beta sysop, Group OSK/BINK/KBBS [37m--- RiBBS v2.10 * Origin: Ocean Beach BBS 619-224-4878 MM1 TECH moderator (1:202/343) [37m [31m=*= [32mFIDO ECHO MESSAGES MENU [31m=*=[36m <1> Scan \ <2> Read > OS9 Echo mail <3> Leave / <4> Scan \ <5> Read > CoCo Echo mail <6> Leave /
