Text editor: CygnusEd 5 released
Press release Since today CygnusEd 5 is available at APC&TCP. An update for older versions is available at a reduced price when sending the original disc/CD to APC&TCP directly.
The support homepage of CygnusEd 5 is online since today as well; the support forum was already opened quite a while ago.
Salesmen who want to offer the programme to their customers should contact APC&TCP directly via email.
About CygnusEd Professional Release 5
The probably best known Amiga text editor for programmers was developed by Bruce Dawson, Colin Fox & Steve LaRocque (CygnusSoft Software) 20 years ago (1986/1987). Originally they released it on their own cost. Already back then CygnusEd was characterised by its high working speed and robustness. CygnusEd advanced constantly in the following years and was one of the first programmes with an ARexx interface and the first Amiga text editor with Undo/Redo functions. Many Amiga programmers "grew up" with CygnusEd and a considerable part of the software developed for Amiga was written with CygnusEd.
CygnusEd version 4, which was the last released version, was published in 1997 and was a completetly revised version of the texteditor and its tools, adapted to AmigaOS 3.1.
The latest CygnusEd version 5 has some new functions and robustness and working speed were once again improved. The tool "Ed" was rewritten completely and the complete source code is enclosed to CygnusEd. Many old restrictions and weaknesses of CygnusEd have been removed. The version 5 is the first version of CygnusEd which has been completetly ported to the PowerPC processor with all tools and one of the first commercial software packages especially adapted for AmigaOS 4.

AmigaOS 4: TiMidity 0.6
TiMidity is a program for the playback and conversion of MIDI files. The changes and improvements in the newest version affect, above all, the stability. Furthermore, play-back without the user interface, from the shell, was integrated, which allows for the play-back of MIDI files in the background.

AmigaOne: Sigmatel STAC9752T sound chips available
Costel Mincea, who initiated a centralised buying for the onboard sound chips initially used in the AmigaOne but erroneously left off in later production runs, has 70 Sigmatel STAC9752T sound chips available now.
Mincea distributed his expenses (the price for the chips, shipping to him, duty fees) on the number of chips available, which results in a price per unit of slightly more than four Euro. Therefore, a single chip can be ordered from him for four Euro plus shipping (depends on target location, 1,- Euro for Europe).
Users can now order chips by emailing sigmatel@stackswap.net, specifying the desired quantity and the delivery address. The reply will confirm the order and specify payment details. Orders will be processed "first come, first serve", the available stock is limited to 70 units. (cg) (Translation: cg)

Think game: new Sudoku port
A further Sudoku port for the Amiga was done by Ralf Berg. Next to the normal 9er Sudoku are smaller (4er) and larger (16er) variationsposible. Skins are supported.
Further features:
- loading, saving and printing of fields
- generating of own fields (solver exists)
- displayed in a window on the Workbench or with own screen
- usage of datatypes for graphics and sound output
- runs on all Amigas with AmigaOS 3.0+
The author points out that not all features are implemented yet. E.g. is the highscore list still missing. Furthermore he's looking for designers and musicians to enhance the game.
In the Japanese numbers puzzle Sudoku is a square divided in 3×3 subsquares with each containing again 3×3 fields. Some of these 81 fields show already numbers from 1 to 9. For a riddle's completion every row, every columnand each of the nine blocks may contain each number from 1 to 9 just once.
