Digital Almanac III and Amithlon
At the "Amiga Freunde Pfalz"'s Amiga Party, Achim Stegemann had the
opportunity to test DA III under Amithlon on a Pentium 4 (1.6GHz) and GeForce 3 equipped PC. An animation of the star chart at a resolution of
1024x768 and a colour depth of 16bit resulted in a frame rate of ca. 10 fps. This
is about ten times as fast as on the development machine (PPC604e/200 and
68060/50 with CVPPC).

ELSA: new founded devolo AG produces new edition of industry modem Microlink 56k
The on 2002, 1st May in Aachen founded
devolo AG brings a new edition of the
successfull industry modem Microlink 56k i to the market. So the good ELSA
quality doesn't go completely lost.
The team of the devolo AG consists of 25 former workers of the ELSA AG who bring
each up to 18 years of experience in data communication into the company. The
ELSA AG was founded in 1980 as spin off of the RWTH Aachen. As pioneer of the
data communication ELSA brought in 1988 the first by the Deutsche Post accepted
modem to the market. For more than 20 years could ELSA establish themselves as
leading provider in the area of the data communication and the computer
graphics. Dramatic market changes prevented lasting synergies between the different
business fields, though. Heiko Harbers, former vice president consumer products
at ELSA and now founder and chairman of devolo, draws the obvious conclusion out
of this: a clear focussing on the business field data communication and a clear
tightening of the portfolio by concentrating on profitable succeeding products
is the devolo motto.

The start make some cosmetic changes that had taken most of the time. Many
errors had been removed and especially the selected colours got a change after
some criticism. Whether it looks better now may be judged by everybody on
his/her own. ;-)
Amiblitz:
There's now a new, error reduced version of Amiblitz 2.26 in the Amiblitz
section. It's again an update archive that contains next to the English version
also the German one. A new Image.res that enhances Amiblitz with further
graphical possibilities is also included. GlowIcons are now used and bring the
boring old fashioned look to an end. As the old archive contains the new one bilingual

Collecting data for the FastFileSystem V46
Mario Cattaneo writes:
Olaf Barthel developes the new FFS (FastFileSystem) of AmigaOS 4. Doing that in an as optimal as possible way he needs data. Data about the conditions of as many as possible Amiga partitions. Thus he is able to collect them he has written a little program which determines the file sizes.
So these data may become representative if the program will be distributed as much as possible. Because of that I decided to put this program on my homepage for download. Please directly send the data to Olaf (please read the documentation before!).
The last possible data for sending in it is the 16th June 2002. Please do not send any reports after this day. This day is the deadline and then all reports which I have got up to this date will be analysed. Please join numerously...
Thanks a lot in anticipation, Mario.
PS: For all those who doubt that this program is "clean" I added the source code to the program. So you can see what it makes.

A.D.A. - Demo Archive with Commenting and Voting
From today on, new programs have been integrated into ADA. All visitors can vote on each demo and write a comment. Through these new functions it will be possible in a short time to tell which demos are most loved and the best, and other users will be tipped off which ones they should download.
The comment function can be found under the screenshots in every demo. For the voting you must register (username and password). In the future we'll make the user data editable, so if a user would like to express more about his interests (email address, homepage, system specs) he can do that.
Since a week ago, ADA has also been available at amigademos.de.

save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the

CLI2WB, easy CLI commandline launch from Workbench
CLI2WB, easy launch Shell (CLI) commandline from Workbench.
I've configurated CLI2WB for the realaudio 1/2/3 player RAplay.
So doubleclick on the icon, an ASL loadrequester appears to
select a realaudio to play. You can define the title, OK button
and pattern of the requester in CLI2WB's tooltypes, and more.
Also released Shrinky, a little utility to shrink the size of
a file to an exact desired size.
Grts, Tom Duin alias Amigaharry

EvenMore
|
Textviewer: EvenMore version 0.60
The freeware textviewer 'EvenMore' is ready for download in version 0.60.
Changes since version 0.59:
- Created a basic RTF plugin.
- Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the
printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The
other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench
printer preferences instead.
- Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or
closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
- Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be
loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will
support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
- Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
- A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga,
along with a new Russian locale!
