At Emaculation it says, conversely, that Microcode Solutions has taken legal steps against Emaculation. However it does not explain why.

"We get Lawsuits!
In case you are wondering, Microcode Solutions and the makers of their hardware card have threatened legal action against the operators of this website.

I will not be reporting on or promoting Microcode products in the future.

Any questions?"

On top of that, the Altnet admins were not going to let more than 5 users on the HTML chat, utilized by amiga-news.de and amigafuture.de. At Phat-Net 15 users are allowed, and on request this number may be raised, for example for special events. So there will be fewer problems with the use of the HTML chat. Not to mention that PhatNet has services. Unfortunately I can't control the fact that everyone who has registered a nickname must register it again. This should present only a minor problem though, ask us and we'll be happy to help you with it.

Advantageous to everyone: Phat-Net is a German server, located right in the middle of Germany.

Current entry data for your IRC client:
IRC Server: irc.phat-net.de

Windows chatters who don't want to install an IRC client will find on this homepage, since a while ago, a functional IRC Java client. You just have to enter your nickname and you can participate in the chat.

With ?Sid4Amiga? a comfortable player for these unforgettable C64-sounds is available! Paul Heams, the developer of "Sid4Amiga", talks about the further development of his programs and in really positive way about the AmigaDE; he is awaiting his pre-ordered AmigaOne SE. You will find the interview here.

Paul Heams is looking for beta testers for the new version of ?Sid4Amiga?, if you are interested, send an eMail to Paul.

The following are the major features of FlashMandelWOS:

• Full functional program for rendering Mandelbrot & Julia fractals with different exponents.
• Support for ECS/AGA/RTG and 68020+/PPC Amiga computers or compatible systems.
• Uses new Reaction GUI, Arexx port, Localization, and has an Installer script also to easy update or uninstall the program.
• C & Asm 68k/PPC sources included !
• It's really fast even on old Amigas and should be also compatible with all new Amiga clones ;-)
• It's really cool and free ;-)

The major feature of the new 2.0 version is the ability to make animations and save them in an easy way using the new arexx port, some example scripts and a guide about all Arexx commands of FlashMandelWOS was created.

What's changed in 2.0 update:

• Added an ARexx port. (Edgar Schwan)
• Created a new guide to explain all features of FlashMandelWOS ARexx port. (Edgar Schwan)
• Created some example Arexx scripts. (Edgar Schwan)

The AMIGAplus 03/2002 contains the following subjects among other things:

• AmigaOS 4: Interview with Ben Hermans
• Status Report: AmigaOS 4 decoded
• New: Pro Station Audio 5
• Who ist nun who: AMIGAplus-Redaktion
• Workshop: Web encoding with .htaccess
• Workshop: QNX for beginners
• Shareware Special: The best on 6 pages
• Scenish: Mad Wizards
• u. v. m.

• LOWERCASETAGS/XHTML now also applies to ENUM attribute strings
• XHTML now implies QUOTESTYLE=double
• removed some unused debug code

• Fixed V45 exec.library of AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag2. It uses quite crude hack to enable it, you'd better have true 32bit memory that doesn't go away at reset for this to work. Works on my BlizzPPC, Wizor's & SMF^'s Blizzard 1260, Cyber2th's CSMkII and Zerohero's Blizzard 2060 at least. YMMV. Note that this hack automatically fixes some buggy programs that peek $f80000 for version information. Thanks to my impatient betatesters: Wizor, Jagge, Cyber2th, Zerohero, SMF^ and Lizard. Special thanks to Lizard for bugging me about this. Also thanks to everyone who mailed me about the problem.
• Improved romfixes module: No longer fails whole module if some sub-patch fails. Now it should be possible to use romfixes as the last module.
• Modified files since 1.24rc2: BlizKick.readme BlizKick/BlizKick BlizKick/BlizKick.ASM BlizKick/Modules/romfixes BlizKick/Modules/romfixes.ASM

The shareware software enables a connection to a Palm computer by 3Com or compatible devices. The program offers among other things HotSync functions between Amiga and Palm.

Werner Heuser: "Remarkable in the document are the insults at the end, which don't seem usual for writings from lawyers. The legal trouble is documented since its beginning at the MobiliX webpages and is discussed in many mailing lists and news groups. This seems to have impressed the plaintiffs. They now accuse MobiliX of inventing "a new kind of electronical terror", and are ready to sentence MobiliX. It will be interesting to know, which sentence the plaintiff will invent against critical discussion in newsgroups."

Despite the announcements of the plaintiffs, the case goes on: The court in Munich (Germany) has set the date for the first hearing to June 12th 2002.
