Abyss: Extralife Demo from 1998 released as Mpeg!
The classic demo Extralife, by the mostly German group Abyss, has now been released as an mpeg for all interested fans who don't
have an Amiga.
On the homepage of the group many other different demos can be accessed,
as can a multitude of graphics such as Cyclone, Acryl, Jcs, etc. Abyss played a decisive role in the international demoscene a few years
ago, with their fresh designs and good ideas. Nowadays a few of them are developing for Gameboy Advanced and Gameboy Color.

TV-Card Software: AmithlonTV Beta 245
Guido Mersmann has released beta-version 245 of the TV-Card driver software
AmithlonTV.
New in this version:
- WARNING!
Due the latest changes I cleared the libs/tvcard_carddata/ drawer.
If you perform a fresh installation just drag and drop the required tv
card file(s) from the storage_carddata into the tvcard_carddata drawer.
This change was required, because several cards are using the same hardware
ids, but they also need a different setup.
- FEATURE:
Added the missing global setup which is required
for non card specific drivers like audio mixers.
- FEATURE:
Optional Volume_AmiMixer.lib allows to
modify the volume within applications (requires amimixer.library).
- BUGFIX:
TVFakeInterrupt() wasn't working correct in special cases.
- FEATURE:
The missing "Notify" interrupt feature implemented.
"Volume_AmiMixer.lib" enhanced to support this feature.
- BUGFIX:
Removed the ghost card which appeared with the bt8x8 audio
section and the Philips enhancement. Currently the section
will be suppressed by the library. Later this will be handled
by the configuration, but currently this is the best solution.

The Amiga Lan party in Braunschweig, which had been planned for 8th and 9th

At the current number of registrations the operating expenses for a LAN party
don't make sense. We, the organisators, regret having to realise that there
is hardly any interest within the region, and thus cancel the party. Sorry to
all of those who had registered.
If the assessment should change some time during the year, we would be glad to
start a new try.

Instant messenger: mICQ Version 0.4.10.1 for Amiga and other systems
Version 0.4.10.1 of mICQ has been released for Amiga and other systems. mICQ is
a very portable ICQ program which runs in text mode - it runs on Linux, BSD,
AIX, HPUX, Windows, AmigaOS and, with restrictions, BeOS. Originally it had
been written by Matthew D. Smith, yet largely rewritten since by Rüdiger
Kuhlmann, in particular the necessary support of version 8 of the
ICQ protocol,
internationalisation, file transfer as well as some code restructuring.
