MorphOS: Vector graphics program SteamDraw 0.6R6
In the new version 0.6R5 of Stefan Kleinheinrich's 2D vector graphics program for MorphOS, SteamDraw, primarily some errors were corrected, so that it should now run cleanly under MUI 3.9 as well as MUI 4-alpha and not forget any windows when closing.
A solution was found for the longer lasting problem, that SteamDraw crashed when activating the Arc-Tools, as well.
Furthermore, changes in the generated EPS code were carried out and some problems when moving objects in the positions list were corrected.
Now, SteamDraw requires no Assign anymore either - but those who want to start it via project files should specify the corresponding path as default program in the "images/file" icon.
Likewise new are the subtools in the polygon tool for creating rhombi, deltoids and parallelograms.
Download: SteamDraw.lha (848 KB)
Update: (28.06.2006, 20:30, cg)
In the meantime, version 0.6R6 is available, in which some Enforcer hits during the start activity were corrected. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Individual Computers: new Catweasel driver for Windows/delays
For Windows 2000/XP there's a new Catweasel driver available. As most important change it uses the Kylwalda part of the Catweasel MK4. So the floppy drive can be switched from the onboard floppy controller to the Catweasel and back.
Furthermore does Individual Computers announce under the title link that there will be some delay in delivering the turbo card for the A 600 and the Amiga&n500 version of the IDE controller Buddha because of some remittance work. It is aked not to enquire these products.
There are also some news regarding the delivery: because of insurance wise reasons there's a store since April in use that is 11 km away from the bureau so that because of time saving reasons from August on packages are only delivered on Tuesday. Therefore it could happen that some web shops list some articles as "not available" though they are available at Individual Computers. All products would be indeed availabe in big numbers almost at once. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Tipps & Tricks: CD-ROM with Workbench 1.3
amiga-news.de reader Markus Bartolich has sent us a brief tutorial how to use a CD-ROM drive with AmigaOS 1.3:
"It is possible to mount a CD-ROM withr Workbench 1.3 by using
the BabelCDFS. After archive extraction the both files "BABELCDROMFS" and "BabelCDROMCtrl" must be copied to the directory
"L:". The mountList in directory "Devs:" has to be expanded by adding the following lines:
* CD-ROM mounten *
CD0: Handler = L:BABELCDROMFS
Startup = gvpscsi.device/5 (Device-Name und Unit bitte anpassen!)
StackSize = 4000
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
#
Afterwards the line "mount CD0:" should be added to the file "StartupII", reboot... that's it!
I run that method successfully with a CD-ROM under Workbench 1.3 on my A2000 with a GVP-SCSI controller." (cg) (Translation: ub)
