MetaView goes Freeware
MetaView which is a (not only in the Amiga world) unique convert program
for converting cliparts/vector graphics/cad-drawings is now Freeware.
On the website of Henk Jonas
you can download the program.
Additional to the keyfile the archive also contains the source code (in E) of MetaView
and the AMFF-libraries. Therefore you may develop the program further.
Henk Jonas explicitly allows you to use the source codes for Freeware programs as long
as the program will be mentioned. If you want to use the source code commercially
it can be given a licence.
MetaView supports graphics of the following formats:
WMF, HPGL, EPS, AI, DR2D, DSDR, WPG, GEM and CGM.

Tool: SRename 3.7.0 final version
Constantinos Nicolakakis has published the final version 3.7.0 of the tool 'SRename'.
With this tool which works from OS3.0 on you can comfortably rename files. In the
new version the following features have been added and bugs fixed:
New features in this version:
- Automatic renaming when new filename already exists. "Noautoren" (nar)
option has been added to deactivate it.
- "Noautopsep" (nap), "Noautossep" (nas), "Autopsep" (aup), "Autossep"
(aus) options added to control the handling of prefix and suffix
separators when prefix and suffix is created or deleted.
- "Addonly" (ao) secondary argument added to "Prefix", "Main" and
"Suffix" selectors. When used it prevents existing components from being
modified, and components are added if they don't already exist.
Bugfixes:
- Redirection of filename and comment with "Tofilename" and "Tocomment"
can now work in Immediate and Reuse (cached) mode as required by the
user, instead of the previous fixed partially cached mode.
- Several core bugs fixed that prevented proper renaming with certain
action and immediate/reuse mode combinations.
- Parser bug fixed occasionally broke the parsing process if commands
with secondary arguments were used.
- Some memory misallocations fixed.
Other changes:
- Now the usage text is printed if no arguments are given.

Online opinion poll for Amiga Demo-DVD (MindCandy 2)
After the first issue of the DVD "MindCandy" which contained two DVDs with historical
PS-demos (the demo scene is meant here, not game demos) as pure videos currently the
second issue is planned. This second issue is supposed to contain the best Amiga demos.
In order to guarantee the best choice an online opinion poll was started. Additional to
details of the DVD production it also asked for the best Amiga demos.
So if you want to have the demos on your big TV hopefully many people will take part in.

Instant messenger: Jabberwocky V1.4
Tom Parker and Matthias Münch have released the version 1.4 of the
instant
messenger 'JabberWocky' for Amiga computers. Jabber
is an open XML protocol for a direct message exchange.
A connect with other instant messengers like
AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo is possible by using gateways.
Download: Jabberwocky030429.lha
Changes within this version:
- http.c - Added Content-Type and Filesize to Transfer Header and eliminated null character in the Header. File transfers using WEB Browser now work. Apr 5, 2003
- transfer.c - Eliminated superflous gadgets from File Transfer window to reduce user confusion. Apr 6, 2003
- userinfo.c - Added seperate update procedure for Transports to avoid double roster entries. Apr 15, 2003 (Bug ID 584725)
- roster.c - Replaced double contact removal with seperate removals for Users and Transports. Eliminated subscribing to Transports to avoid double roster entries. Transports are supposed to be registered and not subscribed anyway. Apr 16, 2003
- agents.c - Added line to clear agents list when connecting. Eliminates multiple agents lists when disconnecting and reconnecting. Apr 20, 2003 (Bug ID 550881)
- presence.c - Eliminated duplicate subscription requests when disconnecting and reconnecting. Eliminated enforcer hit that occurred if the Subscription Window "Accept" or "Reject" buttons were clicked after the last subscription request was removed. Apr 21, 2003 (Bug ID 554328)
- roster.c - Added functions to close any open user windows before removing a contact. Also added error_pix to the roster dispose function. Apr 24, 2003 (Bug ID 549722)
- roster.c - Added functions to close all open user windows before disconnecting. Fixes enforcer hits that occur if you disconnect, reconnect and attempt to use windows that remained open. Apr 25, 2003
Note - The changes I made in roster.c and userinfo.c clear up the enforcer hits that are present in the current prerelease of v 1.4. It doesn't fix the source of the problem though. I think the hits are actually originating in the iksemel library when some unexpected or unusual XML is received. Something may have to be changed there eventually. (nba) (Translation: ub)

Audio track "Call to Ancestors" by Bjorn Lynne online
Bjorn Lynne writes:
"First of all, many many thanks to those of of you who already bought the
new CD "Power Liquids", which I released about two weeks ago. This is an
album of trance / electronica that I made toghether with my friends in
Aural Planet, and it has been extremely well received so far. Thanks again
to those of you who have given your support so far, by ordering the CD.
Due to popular demand (!) I have now made one full-length track from the
album available to hear online at http://www.mp3.com/bjornlynne. It's the
first mp3 track there. This is in addition to the short mp3 clips from ALL
the songs on the CD, which you can still hear at: http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html
While you are at my mp3 page, please give all my other tracks a play as
well, as it may help them to get higher in the mp3.com charts and make
more people "discover" my music through the mp3.com site. Thank you!
And for those of you who have still not discovered the new album: "Power
Liquids", you can read all about it (or even order it) here:
http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html. Your order (should you place
one!) will be shipped out within 24 hours by me, personally." (nba) (Translation: ub)

Pegasos: Summary of all the things regarding the Articia
Within a comment at OSNews.com
Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck sum up all the mess regarding the
Articia chip and confirm the use of the Marvell-Northbridge for the
Pegasos II. The support by Marvell and their
interest for the Pegasos II is said to be very high.
The Articia-S versions were specified. The northbridges used
for the Pegasos I are said to be Articia S #A660BNGP,
these were not produced any longer. For testing purpose some of the
new Articia S #A660BNGE were purchased.
The specs for the
G4 cards (July) and the Pegasos II (September) were confirmed
within the comment.
Furthermore links to BeOS pages are
listed which cover Genesi's attendance at the BeGeistert show:
BeGroovy, BeForever and LeBuzz.
Again the Pegasos II will be offered for a reduced price to the
Phoenix members after the demand for the Pegasos I has not been
feeded completely.
Finally they tell that Eugenia
Loli-Queru, chief editor of OSNews, received a Pegasos so that there
will be a report by her soon.
