hey all! my sis got her ol' A500 hooked up and she wants an off line email reader for it - yep i'm looking for some names of some so fire away Specs: A500, 1Mb(+ a bit), OCS, w HD expansion, (and some other stuff.) also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script: instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity it has : assin blahblah: yackiti:shmakity but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20 instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21) give me _ANY_ ideas on this one please cause the next time i'll be near the computer my connection here will be totaly unavailable for a long long time.

(that's all message continues..) : also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script: : instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity : it has : assin blahblah: yackiti:shmakity : but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being : recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20 : instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21) : give me _ANY_ ideas on this one please cause the next time i'll be near : the computer my connection here will be totaly unavailable for a long : long time.

Well I don't know how she is going to transfer Email to her offline email reader unless she uses Ami/TCP or Mlink. Thor is a good non-mui one that does email and usenet. For just email YAM is quick and easy plus its FREEware. You still need to setup Amitcp or Mlink though. BTW I really like YAM! >(that's all message continues..) >: also the hard drive has a problem in the startup script: >: instead of: assign blahblah: yackiti:shmakity >: it has : assin blahblah: yackiti:shmakity >: but this big 'oops' is way up in the script so the hard disk isn't being >: recognized, so she can't access it cause the script also fails at 20 >: instead of 21 (ie Failat 20 not Failat 21) Try CTRL D as soon as you reset. This will halt the start up and drop you into shell. The type sys:c/ed sys:s/startup-sequence and fix the boo-boo. Save and exit and you should be ok. -- Email: wizard@galstar.com WWW: http://www.galstar.com/~wizard Member <TEAM AMIGA> ANARCHY: Such a good idea, it should be the law.
