Security: AmiSSL V1.1
Version 1.1 of the 'amissl.library' is available for download. This version fixes a bug. The archive contains the installation script.

AmiSSL is an Amiga port of OpenSSL. This library allows secure data transfer in the WWW.

Note: Version 1.x of the library does not work with IBrowse v2.2. AmiSSL v2.0 would have come along with IBrowse v2.3.

Beside of the main archive a variety of encryption modules are required, like Blowfish, DES, IDEA, RC5, etc. Those are available for download on the homepage.

  • Changed: 'AddCmd' now also accepts hex-numbers for the colour pen number.
  • Bugfix: the colours set by 'Color' are now marked as used under OS3.9+, too.
  • New: 'SetX' has got a new parameter: 'UserColors'.
  • Changed: only screens with at least 4 colours are opened.
  • Changed: the command button colours are swapped now, instead of inverting the colour pen number, as done before.
  • Bugfix: up to 200 GB should be viewed correctly, now.

Midi: camd.library V40, CamdBnp-Tools
The camd library v40 as well as the CamdBnp tools for BarsnPipes were released on the NSM page.

'camd' is a shared library for midi, which is part of the AmigaOS. Due to several problems with the original one and because there was no camd.library for AROS, this library was completely new programmed. This one should work like the original one and was successfully tested with 'BarsnPipes' 'Radium', and the 'CAMD' toolkit.

An additional driver 'mmp' and a special camd midi driver for WinUAE are available for download for this library.

The 'camdbnp.lha.zip' archive contains 64 tools for BarsnPipes, which should simplify the communication with other programs. The 'camd library' is used for this communication.

'camd40.lha' and 'mmp.lha' contains both binary and source code (APL, AROS Public License). The includes are part of the AROS source code and also available via e-mail.

Amiga Arena Full Version
In co-operation with Denis Unger the Amiga Arena makes the release of "Foreign Language Master V2.3" possible! FLM is a program for foreign languages that can be used as a dictionary for text translation and to learning of vocabularies.

FLM contains some English-German dictionaries (all in all about 8 MB with about 175,000 entries). Denis Unger continues developing "FLM". For a new version of "FLM" Denis Unger would be pleased to receive concrete suggestions for improving the software and to receive feedback! Further information and data bases for use with "FLM" can be found here, contact: flmdic@gmx.de.

Amiga Arena - comment
I use "FLM" almost daily myself and don't want to miss it anymore! My call to you - with a short mail to Denis U. everybody would contribute to further supporting and improving this tool. (ps) (Translation: wk)

GFX-BASE: poll results and font tutorial
On the GFX-BASE you can now find the results of our latest poll. We had 331 votes regarding our question which graphics board you use/own. Have a look yourself to see which one got the most votes.

Additionally we have a new (English) tutorial. It's all about fonts. We explain the use of different fonts and font tools as well as the conversion of different font types that you can use on the Amiga. We also deal with webfonts and the use of fonts in word processors.

And then we have received again some more entries of games and scene demos that support graphics cards. More to follow soon. (ps) (Translation: wk)

97% of the poll participiants want the Amiga-Society to stay alive! For this we want to thank you very much, as well as we thank all the people who offered us their help and to whom we will surely come back in the next time.

The site is now available in a light version. The two central points 'Schlachtfeld' and the 'BBoAH' are still online. By the way, there's a poll running whether a software page (in German) shall be created on the basis of the Big Book of Amiga hardware. The full functionality will be reached again until September, but till then it will have changed in content in quite some ways! (ps)

Role-playing game: Exult 0.93alpha4
Rüdiger Hanke writes:
My Exult port for Amiga is available for download on my homepage. Exult is a role-playing game engine which can interpret Ultima 7 datafiles. Ultima 7 still captivates after many years with an epic storyline, a vast world and many details. You can find some screenshots on my webpage.

The story: 200 years have passed in Britannia since your last visit as the Avatar. Driven by the mockery of a demonic creature calling itself "The Guardian", you travel once more to Britannia and arrive in Trinsic on a scene of gruesome murder. Maybe the new organization "The Fellowship", which is gaining more and more influence in the lands, is involved in it? Or maybe this is just the beginning of a larger plan that might endanger all Britannia?

Required is an Amiga with FPU and graphics card as well as the original PC game by Origin. Please note that the files on the disk version are usually packed and have to be installed on an MS-DOS system to get the required files. Alternately, the uncompressed game is contained on the "Ultima Collection" CD-ROM. As a small goodie for the Amiga I have included a preferences program with which you can change all game options with a graphical interface on OS3.5 and above.

An interesting tidbit: While porting the game, I found a sourcecode to read IFF files. Indeed, some of the Ultima 7 files are in IFF format. Even the chunk lengths are in Motorola and not Intel byteorder ... (ps) (Translation: rh)
