Translation Tool: New Version of Amifish
Amifish is a little help program that assists you in translating text through the use of Babelfish.
Because a few routines were changed at Babelfish there is again a new version of Amifish. Besides the program you need: amarquee.library V54, MUI 3.8, betterstring.mcc, nlist.mcc and busy.mcc.
Direct download: amifish.lha (44 KB)

MUIbase v1.8 Released
MUIbase-Version 1.8 is available immediately from http://www.muibase.de and it will also be on Aminet shortly.
New features in MUIbase since version 1.7 are:
- A new option in the "New Field/Field Modify" window allows changes in the field to be ignored so they are no longer counted as a change in the project.
- New option to sort alphabetically by trigger functions.
- New option, to sort tables and fields according to the sequence in the display list.
- The numbering of the commands GETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE and
SETVIRTUALLISTACTIVE have been changed to begin with 1, as opposed to 0. This is more consistent with the numbering of data statements and display lists, in which index 0 relates at the top of the list. Attention: this change functions under circumstantial incompatibilities with existing projects.
- Correction of false index lists in the user handbook.
- A few bug fixes.

Multi-ADC (Analog Digital Changer) for Amiga, Pegasos and Amithlon
Here is an electronic diagram and a small test program for my six channel multi analog digital changer (download, 87 KB).
Characteristics of the ADC chip:
- Six measuring channels
- Programmable for unipolar (from 0V to +5V) and bipolar (-5V to +5V) measurements per channel
- Programmable reversal of the measurement polarity (only with bipolar)
- 12 bits resolution per channel
- programmable stand-by mode of the ADC
The following must be installed:
- rexxtricks
- tritonrexx
- triton.library
- rexxserdev
The following ENV variables should be inserted in the "ENVARC:" designation:
- Analog-device = serial device
- Analog-unit = serial unit
- Analog-Volt = maximal voltage reachable at the measurement entrances (normally "5")
Important:
The hardware (MultiADC) is fixed to a data rate of 15000 baud. If this data rate is changed on the computer there won't be any correct transfer of information.
The passive building elements (condensers and resistors) must be built exactly in accordance with the instructions. Deviating values in Ohms or Farad lead to an incorrect function of the MultiADCs.
All building elements are in CMOS technology. So one must wear an anti-static armband so as not to disturb the connection pins. Through this one is able to make it reliable.
With one's own, self-provided program one must pay attention to the programming of the chip LTC1293, since this deviates with the available hardware something from the data in the PDF document from this chip.
Example:
For a logical 1 at the data entrance of the LTC1293 chip one programs in ARexx "call serwrite(ser,'11111111'B,1)" and for a logical 0 it would be "call serwrite(ser,'00000000'B,1)."

Heise April Fools: MP3 with MOD Tracker Modification
In their first report of the day Heise.de offers Further MP3 Efficiency Leap. The article describes how, comparably to the idea that was earlier used in the "Tracker-Zeit," similar pattern inside an MP3 song may be re-used.
Quote (translated): "The idea for dMP3 is a quasi-reminiscence of the 16 Bit Era: because without good software instruments MIDI simply only produces sad beeps, the Tracker/MOD scene, which reached its high points in the 16 Bit Era, has reinvented itself."
Update: (1st April, 2004, 5:39 pm, snx)
Original title of the report recreated, after the April Fools joke was camouflaged this morning on account of readers' wishes.
