`03.Oct.2001` Ralph Reuchlein (ANF)	Database: After a long time a new version of MUIbase published After one year of a break of development there is a new version of MUIbase again which is v1.6. MUIbase is a relationale database with several datatypes and trigger-functions. The Amiga-magazine assesses MUIbase 1.2 on issue 11/99 with 87%. The MUIbase-homepage has moved to http://www.muibase.de/ because amigaworld.com the provider till now do not work just fine. You can access the old site over http://old.muibase.de/ but which will be not updated any longer. Bit there you can still find old examples and some hints. On the new site download and registration works as usually but if there should be displaying faults then please say it to me because presently I have not an entirely working Amiga and I have no time for reinstalling. Bugfixes, ARexx-support and transactions as you know of other databases have been added. (ps) (Translation: dr) [News message: 03.

Mainly you might have to do copy/paste tasks and not to take care of the design of the site or project itself. I would send you mails which contain the site and the according changes as long as I got a better access to the Internet. If anyone would be interested in it then simply send me a mail. In addition to it I am still always looking for some interested people for the port of the game Elite-The New Kind. I have an unfinished version here which we might have to get to an end.

`02.Oct.2001` T.o.T.	Game: Tales of Tamar Amiga-Version V0.37R6 'Tales Of Tamar' is a round based internet game from Eternity Entertainment Software available for all platforms. With this version 0.37 R6 for Amiga you can see for the first time OnScreen animations with full colour update. From now on one after another weapons and buildings will be integrated into the following versions. Very pleasant from the players. All animations are running even on a 68030 with AGA! Also on Amigas with gfxboards now animations with changing colourpalette per frame are no problem. A result of the extraordinary work of this Bindel :-). The latest version of the Battle-Lost-Screen is added. It is another piece of fine art from Dieter Zenteck. (ps) (Translation: gf) [News message: 02.
