Text viewer: EvenMore 0.67
The latest version of the text viewer EvenMore includes the following changes:
- Boopsi depth and sizing gadgets will now get moved on window resize rather that recreated
- Icon gadgets will only redraw when needed, rather than being removed and added again on window resize
- Updated Datatypes plugin so it will only be used if binary code is detected in the first or last bytes of the file and no other plugin is suitable
- Fixed bug which caused EvenMore to print past the last line in a file

BarsnPipes New: Further development canceled
Alfred Faust wrote: With these words I announce to the Amiga/MorphOS/OS4-users-commuity that because for health reasons I had to make up my mind to cancel the further development of the probably best multimedia-MIDI-sequencer called BarsnPipes New.
This decision has been very diffucult because I have been developing this program for almost 10 years with great pleasure. I am not the person who started this program but who developed it further. Therefore I want to say thank you to Todor Fay and his brilliant co-programmers - for one of the best programs which has been ever written for the AMIGA.
Nevertheless, as long as I am able I will read and answer the eMails of the Newsgroups.

MorphOS: Usenet-Reader Newscoaster 1.63 RC1 (Beta)
Tomasz "Kaczus" Kaczanowski is working on a port of the MUI-based Newsreader Newscoaster for MorphOS. The latest version which was already published three weeks ago does not use the MUI-classes NList and NListtree any longer. Additionally the memory management was reworked and some bugs fixed.
According to the author this version should run more stable than previous MorphOS-port or the original 68k-version. Because of the changes in the MUI-section some functions do not work as usual.

Indivision ECS and Apollo 630 in Amiga 600
On his "extreme A500 upgrading page" Christian Krenner has documented how he managed to upgrade his Amiga 600 as much as possible. The computer has now an Indivision-Scandoubler, a 68030-CPU with 40 MHz, 34 MByte RAM, 20 GByte harddrive, PCMCIA-Network card as well as USB- and VGA-ports.
The author particularly points out that the combination Apollo 630 and Indivision ECS developed by Individual Computers is not supported! If you build the same combination you do it at your own risk.
