DTP: AmigaWriter Filter V1.1 for PageStream
AmigaWriter-Filter is a new import filter for Soft-Logik's DTP program PageStream. Click on the thumbnail to the right to see a screenshot of what it can do!

It consists of two parts:

The text filter inserts the main flow-text of your AmigaWriter documents into the current PageStream article with most of its text formattings. The document filter loads your AmigaWriter documents as if they were native PageStream documents, retaining as much of your original document as possible.



Applications

AmigaWriter-Filter was designed to
  • print AmigaWriter documents to PostScript
  • export AmigaWriter documents to PDF
  • use AmigaWriter as a WYSIWYG replacement for PageLiner
  • ... and anything else you can think of :-))
The filter comes with the usual options you would expect from a PageStream import filter: it performs typographical conversions for quotes, dashes and ellipses. In addition, it allows you to choose the quote format (available are US, French, German and German-French). The text filter has another option called Apply Styles Only which can be a great help to achieve consistent layout, especially when several authors are working on one text.

Amiga Arena: full version of the system manager (update)
With permission of Frederic Laboureur the Amiga Arena makes possible the full version of 'The Boss'.

'The Boss' is a system manager enabling programs and application to be started by simply pressing a button. No annoying and memory consuming icons, menus or docks are used for launching. A simple button is enough to start a program.

'The Boss' is very easy to operate, flexible, compact, system friendly, and recource considering, and moreover runs on any screen possible (Workbench, public or even it's own one). This tool addresses anybody who finds tools like Toolmanager or ToolsDeamon to be too inflated.

Features:
  • Completely configurable. No additional tools needed.
  • Font sensitive GUI. Chooseable font for both, screen and buttons.
  • Full OCS / ECS / AGA support. Chooseable screen mode.
  • All functions on one single screen. No menus, icons or docks.
  • No seperate interface like MUI or ClassAct needed.
  • asynchronous multitasking and extreme system friendly.
  • 16 colour WB-palette to determine the tool's colours.
  • Efficient use of memory - only a few memory is required.
  • Chooseable types for buttons, drawers, scripts, and executable files.
  • Unlimited number of buttons possible, whichever how much you need.
  • Small, optimized and fast code makes it all system friendly.
  • Very easy to use and configure.
  • Drag & Drop support.

As always the Amiga Arena is looking for users wanting to translate or write reviews or manuals. sd

Supplement 06 June 2001: Amiga Arena - The Boss Update!
Since some users have had problems with the keyfile Frederic Laboureu reworked the program file. All users having problems regarding the keyfile, please reload the archive. Special thank to Harald N. for reporting and to Frederic L. for the quick update. (ps)

Instant-Messenger: GUI development for STRICQ V2
On ANN Douglas F. McLaughlin wrote, that he started development of STRICQ v2. In this version the GUI will be completely independent from the rest of the program. This allows STRICQ v2 to be equipped with different GUI's. People interested in developing a GUI (MUI or other) for STRICQ v2 can mail to Douglas F. McLaughlin for closer discussions about the implementation.

There will be a SDK for GUI developers. (sd)

c't newspart: 'Mac OS 9 on the AMIGA'
The AMIGA is making headlines once again in the current print issue of the c't (German computer magazine), page 39:
»Already for years is the AMIGA for some fans the better Macintosh. Now the MacOS versions 8.5 to 9.1 and therefore PowerPC native programs, too, can be used on the computer - with iFusion. The British distributor Blittersoft sells the emulator for 430 Mark via the internet (www.blittersoft.com). The software is said to support up to 2 GByte RAM, disk drives, harddisks and CD-ROMs. Requirements for the use is according to Blittersoft an AMIGA computer with a PPC board, 32 MByte RAM and Cybergraphics version 4. (adb)«

This headline shows very exactly that the interest in the AMIGA is also depending on the really existing (and not only announced) products. (ps)

The Register: Sharp uses Intel for Linux PDA
According to ´The Register´ Sharp abandons Hitachi in favor of Intel and breaks with the tradition to equip the Zaurus PDA with StrongARM. Sharp admitted this yesterday.

Certainly the price was a factor in the decision as to use the Intel CPU means to save costs. The reason? "StrongARM offers lowest energy consumption and best functions," says Hiroshi Uno, leader for mobile systems at Sharp in an interview with Bloomberg.

Tool: update of asyncio.library for WarpOS
Thanks to helpful support, there's a new update of the asyncio.library with WarpOS support which will appear on Aminet in the next days.

On a couple of Amigas, the PPC task could freeze. This bug is now fixed. Also the library should run in PPC mode faster than before.

The update was tested with WarpOS v5.1 and worked without problems. Nevertheless interested users should first test the update as problems with older WarpOS versions cannot be ruled out.

Download until appearance on Aminet: asyncioppc.lha - (22 kB) (ps) (ps)
