RE: Y2K aftermath on the MSX??
Hello all, Research in the MILC learned me, that the clockchip uses two nibbles for storing the date. The max value stored is H99, this is decimal 155, and 1980+155 = 2135. So the clockchip gives the correct date until 2135 (Doubt if I make it till then ..) It's only the software ... AFAIK, the clockchip uses BCD for storing its info, so H99 means decimal 99, not 155... +-- Eric Boon ---+ | this signature was | | intentionally left blank | ++ MSX Mailinglist.

RE: Authors for MCCW (MSX Computer Club magazine on the Web) wanted!
[About _underline_, *bold* and /italics/]
YUCK! Rule number one: NEVER use underlined! It's an artifact
of typewriters that couldn't write in italics.
Wrong. Rule number one is: _*/NEVER!/*_ (*grin*) use explicit text
formatting.
You could also use TeX-style: Hi, I want a certain word to be
\emph{emphasized}!
Taht is *much* better: the author indicates that (s)he wants to
emphasize a certain phrase, but leaves the real formatting (bold,
italic, underline, flashing red, caps, whatever) up to the
person/program doing the layout.
or HTML-alike is also possible:
Ithis text is italic/I
Fair enough.
Nope, not fair enough: EMEmphasize/EM is better :-)

MBM replay in DOS (was: RE: Two questions!)
Yoho, I don't know if you need to use the memory mapper for the replayer, but if so, can you please make sure that it is DOS2 compatible? I hope he will, since my intention was to use the program from Multi- Mente which I only run in DOS2! Heheh. The first version will just load and play, nothing TSR like. So it won't need any memory management and thus run on both DOS1 and DOS2. When that runs well, I'll make a TSR out of it which should use the following load scheme: check for MemMan IF MemMan present THEN use MemMan routines ELSE check DOS version IF version is DOS2 THEN use DOS2 memory routines ELSE assume DOS1 without memory manager FI FI Another thing. First idea for commandline: amber [-cN] [-v] filename[.mbm] [filename[.mbk]] AMBeR = Aurora's MB Replayer [...] = optional options: -cN chip select: 0 = auto (default) 1 = MSX-Audio 2 = MSX-Music 3 = Both -v verbose: give status/error reports on stderr Samplekit handling: IF MSX-Audio should play THEN IF filename mentioned in cmdline THEN try that one FI IF not found OR no filename in cmdline THEN try samplekit named in MBM IF not found THEN try filename.MBK IF not found THEN suppress sample replay FI FI FI FI Sounds ok? :-) +-- Eric Boon ---+ | this signature was | | intentionally left blank | ++ MSX Mailinglist.
