Hello Werner from Croydon,
I think you have misinterpreted some of the remarks made by Stiletto. I read them a bit different from what you, but then I could be wrong as well.
When Stiletto says "This belongs in the DOS Forum, not DOSBox", I assume, that your post was original made in one of the DOSBox sub-sections of VOGONS? I am new to VOGONS too, so I am not sure how it works here, but in other forums, when a post (or a whole thread) is moved from one section of the forum to another, a little marker is left in the original forum saying something like "Moved: UAKM under windows???". The move, by a senior member (a moderator) is not done to irritate or pick on you, but to make it easier for the next person to find your post. And more importantly, to put it in a forum sub-section where there is better chance that it will be read/commented on/solved by people that are knowledgable in the specific line of questions.
Stilettos next remark, "You didn't run it under DOSBox in the mentioned steps, did you?", is a reply to your "I'm still new to this forums game". He is actually trying to teach you, the newcomer, how to pick the most suitable sub-section for your post. In reallity, I (and Stiletto?) could not care less, if it was posted in the sub-section dealing with how emulate a Roland MT-32 device, except it would annoy the Roland'ers, and your would not get the kind of response you where hoping for.
On the credit thing, I do not read it as picking on your. When I read your post, I thought it was pretty clear, that you had searched for, and found, a solution to your particular problem with UAHM, and now you wanted to share the good news by providing pointers to the Tex Murphy forum. And there is absolutely nothing wrong with that - in fact it is the right thing to do ... Share and Enjoy!
Stilettos remarks (as I read them) are more directed at the poster (Cubase) in the Tex Murhpy forum, who appearently had conveniently "forgotten" to give credits to Basti007 and VOGONS. Stiletto appearently found the information and the format of it too identical to the information published by Basti007. So identical that it was highly unlikely to be an independent discovery.
I do not know the origins of Basti007's write-up, but at least s/he has the courtousy to include a "CREDITS GO TO ALL THOSE GREAT PEOPLE AT VOGONS, WHO MADE THIS SETUP WALKTHROUGH POSSIBLE!" at the end of his page. I see no such credit line in the posts made by Cubase.
Finally Werner, have a look at Stilettos stats (Joined: 2002-07-01 and Posts: 1074). Immediately that will tell you, that
- S/he is a long time member of these forums.
- S/he has not just been lurking but has been posting at a rate of ~2 posts per day.
The posting rate does not say anything about the quality of the posts, though, but even the most dim-witted forum member must run out of questions after 100 posts 😀 To figure out that kind of information, you would have to click on the info button to bring up Stilettos profile which conveniently includes a "Find all posts by Stiletto" feature.
Had you done this, you would have recognised Stilettos as a very senior member of the forums, and - I hope - started to doubt your immediate interpretation of her/his posts, and your feelings, before getting into a defensive position.
Nuff said - thanks for sharing the information Werner. I am sure I will use it when I get around to play my copy of UAKM.
