AmiChess: New version with increased playing strength
Under the title link there is a new version of AmiChess which has been
recompiled with StormC 4. Apart from some minor bug fixes, the WarpOS
version in particular has benefitted from the recompilation.
Calculation speed of the WOS version could nearly be doubled! Thus AmiChess
with the GNUChess engine is a match for "Crafty" (see Aminet), the chess
engine with currently the highest plaing strength!
I wish all chess friends a good time with the new version!

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.

Whoever has suggestions for further concepts can send them in an email to Petra Struck or enter them here in the commentary function - if at all possible, with an understandable description of the keyword.
The glossary has been reachable for some time through the upper menu in the last row, in the second spot. The link had to be led through to the guestbook, which is also reachable through the footer.

Filesharing: DirectConnect Client for AmigaOS
Diego 'DCR8520' Casorran has ported DCTC ("DirectConnect Text Client") to the Amiga (see also today's report).
DCTC is a text-based client for the file-sharing network "Direct
Connect". An early beta version of Amiga-DCTC is ready for download.
Diego needs beta testers to support him in debugging the program.
More information about DC (DirectConnect) may be found on the website of the manufacturer publisher's website for the Windows version. Diego shows how one may get the initial results with DCTC. First you need a list of all usable HUBs:
run: hublist >ram:HubList
Each line of the list looks like this:
[DK]Moviezone©|moviezone.dyndns.dk|Min 60 GB. [MZ-Group]|507|||||
Next you pick out a HUB (in the above example "moviezone.dyndns.dk"),
additionally you must select a pseudonym and put in your IP Address (it should work with these minimal entries):
dctc --nick=YOURNICK -a=YourHost/IP --hubip=moviezone.dyndns.dk
If everything works, you'll now be connected to the HUB and the HUB will show a few bits of information (read it!) and now you may begin to send orders to the hub.
HINT: You might be banned for the HUB, when your combination of "Connection" and "Shared Bytes" is not meeting the standard. In such a case you should use the command "/CNX T3" to set the server to a higher connection speed ("Connection") or "/OFFSET 1234567890" to raise the "Shared Bytes" (the amount of the data you are offering).
Please BE SURE to read the supplementary documentation, and let us know your experiences with it.
Direct download: dctc-0.84.1.lha
[HINT: DCTC was unavailable on the master server (title link). The link for the direct download may in that case be accessed via a mirror].

OS4 Team seeking Translators
As you can see in the title, translators for German and other languages are being sought for OS4, because the translation service ATO can't help in all areas. Other needed translations include: Bosnian, Croatian, Hungarian, Norwegian, Persian, Portugese and Swedish.
Whoever wants to help must sign an NDA (Non-Disclosure Agreement =
silence stipulation) at Amiga Inc. Other requirements are an Amiga with AmigaOS 3.9 and Boing Bag #2 installed, and a PGP key of at least version 2.6.3 (or compatible).
Interested people should send an email to the coordinator,
David Rey.

Thomas Richter in c.s.a.p.: Further Developers Needed
Thomas Richter writes in the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmer:
As you may or may not know, my Amiga "died" a few months ago and I decided to shelve all support for my Amiga software, starting with DiskSafe and ending with MuLib Packet. A new Maintainer must also be found, one who is interested in further developing all or part of my software. The terms are that the software must continue to be publicly available on terms simlar to the ones that I've established.
I will NOT agree, to release this stuff under GPL or LGPL.
The skills needed are C (ANSI-C) Programming for one half of the projects and advanced Motorola 68k Assembler for the other.
Additionally needed (naturally) an Amiga and a C-Compiler, possibly SAS/C, because the projects are based on this. And Motorola-Assembler, possibly the DevPac, because I used a lot of notes with the macro-functions. The
PhxAss is not sufficient for most Assembler-based projects.
The "earliest works" (not the MuLib Packet of course) are documented in German (...).
The sources are completely backed up and available and usable, because I was always a bit concerned about backups, and rightly so. Please send inquiries to my normal email address:
thor@math.tu-berlin.de.
So long and see you later!
Cordially,
Thomas
