or anti-virus programs, or you can even help other Amiga users with
problems, that might not be caused by virus, who knows, that is up to
all of you. We will check the forum as much as we can, to help you out
if you have any problems with viruses or anti-virus programs on your
Amiga. You can find a link to the "VHT Forum" here:

Amiga Arena: Lotto / BabeAnoid News / Aqua-Demo
BabeAnoid:
Many of you will still remember the demo version of the Breakout clone
"BabeAnoid" by Richard Fhager. After he stopped the development due
to disappointing feedback, I am pleased to be able to announce that the work was taken up again and even an other PD
game will be developed. Richard Fhager is among other things well-known as the author of games
like "Dawn video Poker", "Titris", "Spaceball2000". I can
appeal only again and again to you to send a short E-Mail to the
developers if you like one of the mentioned programs!
Aqua - Demoversion Light
A new demo version of the adventure "Aqua" is now available. This playable
demo (9MB) contains no animations and intros.

Tool: UniView V40.9 Update, SDK dtwindow.class
Stefan Ruppert:
After some time of beeing away from the Amiga (due to time lacking and
defective hardware) I have found the time to release a small update for the MultiView replacement program UniView. This update does not add any additional functionality. The following modifications were
made:
- Some adjustments and smaller optimizations in dtwindow.class.
- Documentation adapted.
- UniView is Shareware without restrictions. Fee US 10$ or 10 EURO.
- Documentation of dtwindow.class created.
- SDK dtwindow.class
P.S.: The server is connected via DSL, thus please do not expect fast
downloads... Additionally I would like to publish my Amiga programs
and also source codes on my server. However this can take some time...

the freeCD series. The 'Digital Postcard System' (WWW) allows deferred sending

This CD contains flight simulations and further material on the theme of
flying. In this version, the flight simulation 'flightcontrol' has been added.
Additionally there are now paper models of various military aircraft as well as
photos of the Airbus A320 and the Ju52.
Digital Postcard System (WWW)
This system allows to write the holiday cards already before leaving and later
have them sent automatically by the computer.
Photos of Argentine, Brazil, Germany, Mexico, Italy, Belgium, animals, general
places as well as greeting cards are included.
Furthermore, own photos may be uploaded.
Racer (Linux, Mac, Windows)
'Racer' is a simulation for cars, which very accurately simulates different
cars from the domains classics, race cars and street cars. The cars can be
tested on tracks like Indianapolis and Le Mans.
Expected release date for this CD is February 2003 for Linux, Mac and Windows.
AmigaOS and MorphOS developers interested in a conversion are welcome and may

Route planner: AmiATLAS 6 - new version for ARC 2002
The AmiATLAS Development Team writes:
"A new version of AmiATLAS 6 will be released for the Aachen show!
Although over the last months most of the remaining Amiga users have been very
reserved in their purchase behaviour, probably not least of all hoping for new
hardware, work on AmiATLAS 6 has been going on continuously...
For the show, a new edition will be released with fully updated (as per 4th
quarter 2002) and expanded data stock. Now, among other things, with the most
current touristic information and some more, like infos about number plates of
all supported countries.
That's an increase of about 200%, compared to the old version!
Not forgetting the updated map material, e.g. Germany now with the complete
Autobahn network with all clearances until end of 2002!
In the program itself, lots of reported bugs have been fixed and some
optimisations implemented, and of course, as far as possible, some users'
wishes realised. Supported languages now are German, English, French and
Italian.
The new version of AmiATLAS 6 including new improved cover design has already
been shipped in sufficient quantities to KDH Datentechnik and IOSPIRIT for sale
at the show. APC & TCP will also have some copies.
Due to organisational reasons, updates can only be shipped shortly after the
show. And of course, as always, only to registered users of AmiATLAS 6.
Please mail requests or wishes to:
AmiATLAS@gmx.net"
