Merlancia Clarifies Question on Legal Status
Once again it seems we are left to clarify a normally easy to understand
issue that really is not important to those outside the company/corporate
staff.
The short scoop: Merlancia is still alive and well, despite wishes of
those who would plot for our demise out of spite and malice...
Plesse read this Merlancia Press Release
on this matter for further details.
Editor's remark:
The reason for this statement is probably the link discussed on
ANN, according to which the company Merlancia has been dissolved. (ps)

Pictures from many Amiga shows
Niels Bache from Denmark writes:
Over the last 4 years, I have visited a number of European Amiga shows.
The pictures that I've taken at those shows have until now been stowed
away in a dark and largely unknown corner of cyberspace, where only
relatively few people have actually seen them.
They are now accessible on my new site dedicated to the purpose:
http://nbache.frip.dk/.
So far, pictures from the last four Cologne shows have been put online.
Given time and space, I plan to add some more in the future. Check out
the list on the front page.

WWW browser: Path-Amiga V0.6
Alexander Weber is currently programming a new WWW browser for Amiga systems.
He writes on his web site:
"Path-Amiga is my attempt to write a web browser. It isn't very usable yet, but
that will hopefully change soon.
I started with this project somewhen in the second half of 2001, because I
wanted to learn to write AmigaOS programs with multiple threads. After I had a
program that could open and close some windows, I thought I could perhaps make
a web browser out of this, just as a challenge. And the result is this."
The browser runs from AmigaOS V3.5.

Music: Tim Wright on the Web (Psygnosis' domestic composer)
Ein Liker writes:
it is not news in the original sense, still I regard the link interesting enough :)
Tim Wright, the famous domestic composer of Psygnosis, former Amiga games forge
with titles the likes of 'Shadow of the Beast', who are now an inhouse team at
Sony, has for some time now had his personal domicil under
www.coldstorage.org.uk.
There you can find, besides 9 MP3s (a.o.t. two revamped songs from Wipeout,
which btw were created using Bars&Pipes on an Amiga), also the two original
tunes from the graphics classic 'AGONY', which in this form never managed it
into the game, incl. interesting background stories. Additionally there are
also the original modules from 'Shadow of the Beast II' and 'SotB III' (the
music from 'Shadow of the Beast I' was done by Richard Joseph).
And finally you may contact Tim Wright directly, via eMail and forum, and maybe
motivate him to produce further mixes of his old Amiga songs. (sd) (Translation: cb)

AROS: Boot menu, font prefs for Zune
AROS have been mentioned in a news item
at OSNews.
Sebastian Heutling implemented an intuition-based boot menu on AROS/x86
native. You can now choose to boot with or without executing the
startup-sequence. The plans for this menu also include enabling HIDD
switching at boot time.
Georg Steger fixed some text formatting bugs in graphics.library. He also
renamed con-handler to con.handler to be consistent, and implemented
eac_MatchString/MatchFunc in ExAll (DOS). He added an assign HOME: in
AROS/linux to point to the current user's home directory.
Adam Chodorowski started porting the Font Prefs to Zune.
