amiga-news.de: Netiquette Revised and Supplemented by FAQ
To clarify the purpose and spirit of amiga-news.de's "netiquette" rules Sven Drieling has completely revised them and expanded on a few
evidentiary points. A new development is the FAQ, which delves into some persistent questions about the proper use of the comment function.
We are asking all of our readers to take a few minutes to read the netiquette document (click on the title link). We are requesting that you
respect our guidelines. Through this we will be able to achieve improved commentary for all concerned.

Amiga Forever 5.1 Released
Cloanto released today version 5.1 of
Amiga Forever, the official Amiga
emulation and connectivity package for PCs. New features include improved
emulation components, new Amiga and Windows software (e.g. new Software Manager,
Amiga Explorer, ReqTools, support libraries, etc.) and updated documentation and
help files. For the first time since 1991, when the Amiga Narrator and
Translator speech synthesis components were discontinued by Commodore (who
reportedly was not willing to continue to pay a $1 per unit royalty), this
software, which was part of the multimedia features which inspired several
enthusiasts to buy an Amiga computer, is again available with the Amiga OS.
Amiga Forever 5.1 includes both the original and fully licensed speech software
in the preinstalled 1.3 configuration and a newer custom setup in the 3.1 ROM
environment. As for all Amiga sound output, the emulation makes it possible to
save the digital data, so as to preserve forever (maybe for use on an answering
machine?) the original accent made famous by various
This is Amiga Speaking
demos.

New Quake2 mods
Two new mods are downloadable on the Amiga Quake2 page:
- WarMod for PPC
- Asssault for PPC
- As well as an archive with a whole number of mods recompiled for 68k, you
still need the PPC archives and have to install the 68k mods over them. You can
use the 68k version's installer which does it automatically (if you add the
directory containing the 68k mod archives with "assign Mods: ... add" the
installation should work).

BTX/CEPT access changed
T-Online has changed its access to the old services. For Windwos there is an upgrade available.
Unfortunately Multiterm 5 does not manage with the changed protocol and reports a socket error.
So the comfortable online-banking with the Amiga has an end. Or does anybody have a solution for this
problem?
