Glad i found amiga.org :)
« on: August 01, 2004, 01:21:05 PM »
Hi everyone :)

Since i got a PC (which is years ago now) i havn't spent too much time using my amiga (shame on me!) even though it's still working perfectly.
Now that WinUAE is doing an almost perfect job i got interested more and more again - so be prepared for tons of questions that might follow this post :P

soon,

Hehe... Thanks for the great welcome!

actually I've been quite active on the Amiga (and on the c64 earlier) before i got the PC - little demos, intros, hd-installers, some *cough* cr***s .. so getting an adf to the amiga wouldn't be the biggest problem ;)
At the momnent i'm trying to 're-build' my real amiga on Winuae - including applications like DirOpus (which took me quite some time on the real amiga as well as on the virtual one (installing tools for everything like dms<->adf conversion, mounting virtual disks ...(i'm far away from that on the virtual machine - lost quite some experience))), Packers, Games,  Programming & hacking-stuff (filemaster asmone)...
...
lemme guess: how to transfer ADF files to yer Amiga (cuz nothing beats the real thing )
...
actually my first question would be:
does anyone know if there is something to execute .info-files ? i'm not talking of something like iconX which allows me to execute scripts - i want to execute the info-files themself. That would be a nice thing to run WHDLoad-Stuff from shell. WHDLoad (as well as other installer) Icons often contain quite some amount of information - which i would have to transfer to a script file to make the Program work from shell (or other scripts).

hope a solution for this already exists - if not i'll have to start coding again i guess *g*

another thing - On my real Amiga i loved "reorg" - because it was fast, reliable ... on WinUae i experienced that the application seeme dto crash everytiome i tried to use it. (i used the cpu-speed setting "adjustable between cpu and chipset" which might have caused Problems) - any ideas ?

thanks again, guys!

soon,
