Some software issues on Winuae....

[Paulie85]

I'm having some problems with my Winuae setup using Amigasys 4(OS 3.1). They must be quite simple but I'm really struggling...

1) I wanted to get the old say program working so I copied the over the program, translator.library and narrator.device from my ClassicWB install but when I try to run it the system freezes(actually the program runs up until I type something in and key return,-his is when it freezes).

2)I cant get the 68k version of FPSE to play any games(they are in the bin/cue format). Again the program opens but system freezes when I try to run the games.

3) I can't work out how to save changes to the colour scheme for BareEd which means i have to change them every time I load the program

1) + 2) is sound emulation enabled?

Yep.
I was wonering if I might need the speak-handler, but this doesn't seem to be in the ClassicWB install and it works fine on that.

Oops, still people out there using BareED?
Anyway, saving the colour scheme (default project) is easy, at least for me, because I am the author of BareED.

Enable "Create Icons?" in the settings menu, in case it isn't checked. Make sure that no characters are in BareED's text buffer.
Customize BareED, i.e. choose the colours, font, screen, window position and so on and save to disk this empty file, say as "Work:Tools/default.def" (as an example). A requester pops up asking whether to create a default project instead of a regular file. Confirm with "Yes".

Now you have two options.
Click double on this created icon ("Work:Tools/default.def") and BareED will be launched with your settings.
The other option is that you manually edit the tooltypes of BareED and enter there "FallbackProject=filename", where you replace "filename" with the path and the name which you chose for the default project ("Work:Tools/default.def" - as an example). Once saved, a double mouse click on BareED's icon will display your settings, the same is valid if you launch BareED by a 3rd party application, f.e. a task bar.

The documentation enclosed to BareED describes it under "Customizing BareED's launch behaviour"; it is the first chapter.
Hope this helps a bit. The other issues you have (1 + 2) I can't comment because I am unfamiliar with those applications.

Hi, thanks a lot!
Yes, I use BareED almost every day. Are you silll writing Amiga software?

[Joloo]

I use BareED almost every day.

Me too, me too...

Are you sill writing Amiga software?

Yes, if I have the time to. Like any other Amiga hobby programmer, my Amiga specific work suffers from making a living, family and other hobbies. Next, I am very lazy when it comes to programming.

Nonetheless, here are some examples of my Amiga work that are still in work/progress.
Amiga related archives

Besides those programs, I did write lots of other softwares that are only important for me, i.e. developer tools. I've also finished now the RTF (Microsoft text format) to HTML converter (a simple CLI (POSIX compliant) command, at the moment) that I've worked on the last three weeks (it did last that long because I didn't find enough spare time to continuously work on it) and now I am asking myself if it is a good idea to implement a RTF-to-Text loading routine into BareED. Anyway, this converter already allows me to write some tutorials easily, which will be published as HTML files on my homepage someday around next year. I am using BareED to write those tutorials, load them into Wordpad on Windows, change there the colours and text attributes, save it back as RTF and use this converter to create the final HTML file. Maybe I could also automate this with BareED, but currently I am busy doing other things.

So, in short, yes, I still write Amiga software.

I want to translate HiSoft basic code into something that will run on a PC or Mac. Any suggestions?
