The Unmasking of the AmiDock Easter Eggs in OS 3.9... :-)
Yes, maybe you weren't expecting it, but AmiDock contains a little surprise as well... :) For
want of a shady character that might be used to reveal the activation code of the Easter eggs through rumors, I had to do it myself on my
homepage... ;-)
If you are interested, just click on the title link. German speakers click
here.

Testing Report: Radio Keyboard and Mouse on Amiga
When I attended the club meeting of AmCluSt early
this month, I was impressed with the radio keyboard and mouse from Michael Göken. These were made possible through two components:
The MMKeyboard-Adapter from Guido Mersmann and the PS/2 adapter
building instructions (hard/hack/ps2m.lha) from Denis Sotchenko.
Following these instructions Guido built me a PS/2 adapter in more than an hour of detailed work, so thanks again, sincerely! Whoever is
interested in an MMKeyboard-Adapter from Guido Mersmann should send an email to him.
The opportunity to try out Tevion's radio-controlled keyboard and mouse came about because Aldi was offering it inexpensively. Both
adapters worked perfectly on my Amiga 4000 T. It's very pleasant to have a table top free of coiled cables.
In any case the crux of the matter is the program MMKeyboard.lha
by Guido Mersmann. It allows every key of the multimedia keyboard to be individually configured. Here is the official short description of the
program:
MMKeyboard allows the use of Windows keyboards on Amiga. Beyond that, it makes it possible to start programs with the multimedia keys
and much more. There are none of the driver problems as are found on the PC! A little Commodity activates all the "non-standard" keys on
every keyboard! Even future keys will work! MMKeyboard also offers a real hardware password login with an optional, selectable Amiga skin,
full reset handler compatibility, and many other configuration options.
All in all I find that these are very good and useful creations which allow me to write the news more easily :).

Amiforce: Survey and PHP Orientation at Abakus Design
Current Survey
You'll find a survey on Amiforce, a survey which asks what should be tried for in the future. Whoever is interested may take part. Multiple
choices are possible.
Abakus Design
The webpage of Abakus Design has been completely changed to PHP, so it should be easier to maintain these pages in the future. If you spot
any errors, please let the Webmaster know.
Amiforce will be changed over shortly as well. It might take a little longer, because the website is bit bigger.
News about AMHuhn will soon follow.

Developer Tool: CVS Version 1.11.2 AmigaOS/MorphOS Port Bugfix Update (2)
Today Jens Langner prepared an important bugfix of the AmigaOS and MorphOS ports of CVS (Concurrent Versions System), the program he
jointly developed with Olaf Barthel. This may be downloaded by clicking on the title link.
In this version (of 21st November, 2002) the main thing is the bugfix, that corrected one big mistake in the last version. It had to do with
problems with "committen" of new files, but this should be taken care of now.
As always the update may be found at http://amcvs.light-speed.de and also downloaded
from Aminet in the next few days.
22nd November, 2002 addition:
Jens Langner made a comment:
I undertook another bugfix today, and uploaded the current version to the website. It was a bug in the temporary data routines. Everything
should now be stable, so far.
