AREXX was introduced as a third-party enhancement sometime during
Workbench 1.3 and quickly became a popular cross application protocol.
By Workbench 2.0 it was integrated into the operating system and became
a standard component. Most of the apps for the Amiga now have support
for AREXX control (one of the reasons it was such a dream for the
video/graphics whizzes as they could have several programs automatically
process images and digitized video without much effort)

H'm. I use third-party books. Suppose if I wrote the author they'd put out
an updated edition?

Nope. Real true-blues. Maybe it gets more tolerant with time?

As I' ve previously said, I found FULCRON from AREXONS (if you can find it
there) to be the best in dissolving yellowish from computer plastics
(unbeatable against nicotine)
All you have to take care is to spray the pure product in a uniform way
(=the whole surface omogeneously) and brush it gently, alllowing the whole
surface to be in contact with the product.Then rinse: FANTASTIC!
Careful!
Avoid to spray and let drops come down + rinse without brushing!: where the
product
drop down, it leaves the surface CLEAN, but the rest still dirty. If you
rinse and try to apply the product again (even brushing it accurately) the
"clean-shadows-on dirt" will remain!

This looks like a good place for drive and controller info...

So that you can put them in any direction, without worrying about turning to
fit it in.

Kaypro 4 question....
I just picked up one of these bad boys from a thrift for $2.95 (my first
Kaypro) but I'm not
sure that it's feeling so good. I don't have a boot disk for it, and when I
power it on (it does power, that's a good sign) it says ," Please place
your diskette into drive A." The floppy never spins down, and putting a
CP/M booter in from another machine doesn't seem to generate any kind of
activity whatsoever. Is this normal behaviour, and I just need a boot disk?
BTW, does anyone know where I can get a boot disk for it?
Thanks,
Aaron
I'm trying to get NetBSD ona uVAX 2000. I was using
the wrong numbers in the disklabel. Now that I've figured that out,
the computer has antoher trick for me - I power it on, the RD53 spins up,
reaches top speed, and spins down before the CPU checkout finishes.
Did I kill a timing track or soemthing?
