Amiforce Redesign
CJ-Stroker has reworked amiforce.de from ground up. The frames are now past, the usage of the new site should now be very user friendly because of a "navigation history". Some spots need some finetuning according to the author but it is being worked on.
With the redesign new rubrics find their way onto the page, planned is among other things an OS4 project section. At latest with the existing of according hardware will a special aspect lie on the new AmigaOS.
The site is optimized for a resolution of 1024x768 and should work with every browser except Opera that causes some problems. The compatibility with Amiga browsers was important here.
For constructive critics and suggestions to improve the site is the author always eager to listen to.

New AmiBlitz distribution with numerous improvements
From now on there's a much improved AmiBlitz2 distribution available for download. Because of the many changes and their size an update archive for an earlier distribution doesn't make sense anymore. Update archives will be available with the next version.
Unfortunately, many things were missing in the last distribution so that a seamless working wasn't possible. Thanks to Marco Möring aka Blackbird without whom the bugs and incompleteness of that distribution would probably never have been noticed.
Next to Marco my thanks go to his wife Margit Möring. Together we three could translate further guides into German.
Thanks go of course to Bernd Rösch and Thilo Köhler who work without a break on the future of AmiBlitz2.
Changes:
- Much improved install/deinstall scripts.
- After the installation are all settings immediately available.
- After the deinstallation is the archive in its original condition and can be installed again in the particular version.
- New Ped.prefs for the NEWCOLORMODE. Important: works only in screenmodes with 8/16 colours.
- More German translation of AcidGuides.
- Two versions of all (English/German).
- Further includes by Thilo Köhler.
- New Usermacro.guide.
- Many errors removed.
- Contains now many missing components, e.g. MUI2.res.
AmiBlitz2 reference manual in HTML:
Thanks to Markus Rütter is the reference manual for Blitz2 now available in an HTML version.
Next to the online version on Amiforce the manual is available for download, too.
Thanks to Markus Rütter who kindly gave the permission to do so.
News about the German manual:
At the moment is a PDF version of this manual being worked on. The available Postscript version can only be opened and printed with Pagestream. The PDF version will follow soon. So everybody can now print his/her manual. Planned is for now a version for the print of pages in A4 size. These can perfectly be put into a file. Thanks go to Andreas Röhr aka trion who really helped me very much. Thanks go also to Silvio Kurze aka MangaClub who made a first conversion.

OnyxSoft: Updates for JoinSplitter and TheMPegEncGUI
The Swedish developer group OnyxSoft introduces Adam 'ChaOzer' Waldenberg who is
an Amiga and now also MorphOS developer for many years as a new member.
Additionally there are updates of the programs
JoinSplitter and
TheMPegEncGUI. Others are
supposed to follow.
TheMPegEncGUI is a graphical user interface for the following MPEG-Audio-Encoders:
- MusicIn (68k or PowerUP)
- Pegase (68k or WarpOS)
- Ncode (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
- Lame (PowerUP or WarpOS)
- BladeEnc - (68k or PowerUP)
- MP3Enc (68k)
- Ogg Vorbis
- MPEGA (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
In version 2.41 now the rawbyteorder-function works. Besides this a bug has been cleared
when putting back the estimated time of completion.
And here are the changes in version 1.16 of JoinSplitter which is a program that can
split or join bigger files:
- Worked around a bug in the GUI-engine which made the Splitter part crash under OS4
- Reworked the gauges a little to be more sensitive to different window border sizes
- Fixed a bug in one of the split modes if memory was running low. It would generate the wrong size for the splitted files
- Fine-tuned the conversion between kilos (1024<->1000)
