Amiga meeting Bad Bramstedt: Webcam, DCE, Amithlon
Some new information abot the Amiga meeting taking place right now in Bad Bramstedt:

The webcam there is now working. Going to www.amigameeting.de automatically opens a small popup window showing a new picture every minute.

Important for AWeb users: switch off the function 'suppress banner window' in the browser settings/'1 options' as it won't work otherwise.

Additionally will more pictures of the meeting be released on the homepage.

Mister Dellert from DCE arrived at around 12.15 h and just puts up two computers with G-REX PCI board. People here are already eager about the things that will be shown on these systems later.

There's also an interview with Mr. Dellert planned later that will be released, too.

Torsten Gruner, Thorsten Hansen and Jörn Plewka from KATO Development are at the meeting and show Amithlon live. The interested user may take a picture of the power and the possibilities of the AmigaOS under Amithlon on up-to-date PC hardware.

The Amithlon co-developer Thorsten Hansen, from KATO, will introduce his own developing system and is fond on answering questions by interested users.

People who want to visit the meeting taking place until Sunday midday are very welcome.

Library: vapor_toolkit V15.11
On 7. October 2001 version 15.11 of the 'vapor_toolkit' library was released. The vapor_toolkit.library is a library of support functions which are used by most Vapor applications and thus can be shared to reduce individual application code size. Changes since version 15.8:
  • more error checking in the library initialization (Zapek)
  • optimized memory usage for some functions (Zapek)
  • added "html" as built-in file extension (Zapek)
  • rewrote MIME handling functions. Much faster and more efficient (Zapek)
  • fixed a potential crash from VAT's ARexx handler (Zapek)
  • fixed the saving path of MIME entries not being always set :o) (Zapek)
  • fixed the ARexx handler task crashing when the library was flushed then reloaded again (Zapek)
  • fixed MIME extensions list which would only add the first one of each mimetype :o) (Zapek)
  • fixed screwup in the class dir handling :o) (Zapek)

Event: Amiga Inside News

The countdown was started for the three days 'Amiga Inside' party from 19th to 21st October in Hirsau (near Calw), Germany and some seats are still to take.

Thanks to the noble support by KDH Datentechnik we are now able to reduce the admission charge to 5DM. Furthermore in all foresight VMC/Harald Frank will attend the party and present the Amithlon project, which sure might be interesting so many people. Unfortunately DCE did not agree with us firmly until now and thus we don't expect current DCE products to be presented.

More information under the title link. (sd) (Translation: mj)
