Thomas Harte's Clock Signal is an emulator for various 8- and 16-bit platforms aiming to be invisible to the user. The idea is to simply start the source medium without configuring the emulator oneself. Clock Signal is available for Mac OS and Unix-compatible systems. While there is also an Amiga emulation included, it "remains wilfully inaccurate" for now.

AmigaOS 4.1: Spreadsheet ignition 1.21
Achim Pankalla has released version 1.21 of his spreadsheet ignition, which requires at least AmigaOS 4.1 Update 6. The new version corrects bugs in some functions, now allows file suffixes with more than three characters and offers a revised manual.
The ods-addon has also been updated. The extension allows loading and saving tables in OpenDocument format, which is used in LibreOffice/OpenOffice Calc, among others. Changes in ign-ods-addon 0.37:
- now some more functions are converted
- solve a problem with ms ods-files
- corrects a failure in calculation of column and row size
A new addition is the xlsx-AddOn for reading MS Excel files. This is a first, early version of the extension, the integration in ignition must still be done manually. Here tested with a calendar file (left ignition, right Excel):
Achim Pankalla thanks all testers, bug reporters, translators and supporters. He welcomes any feedback via email, and also refers to the official ignition support forum (German) at os4welt.de for further information and discussion.
