AmigaTalk V2.2 uploaded to Aminet
I had to update V2.1 of AmigaTalk to correct some minor problems, hence the unplanned uploading of V2.2. (The update isn't arrived yet on Aminet).

HISTORY
~~~~~~~
For version 2.2 the following enhancements/bug fixes were made:
  • Fixed the install script (by deleting the History.txt copy action & including the Images directory in the distribution).
  • Added Status Window coordinate bookeeping to the AmigaTalk.env file.
  • Added more error detection code to initialization of the AmigaTalk screen code so that the Command & Status window will fill whatever screen you select. I've been able to check almost all screen modes that the CyberVision64/3D uses (except for 16-bit 1024 * 768, which shows a black screen). AmigaTalk will not let you use a screen smaller than 640 * 400, so don't try to. If you rename AmigaTalk.env, AmigaTalk will use the coordinates from your Workbench screen (or whatever screen is active).
  • Added a ScreenModeID ToolType to the Icon (default: 0x40D20001).
  • See AmigaTalk:help/History.guide for the rest.
(ps)

Event: Website for THE PARTY updated
The website of one of the oldest scene parties at all, THE PARTY, was put online with an new design today. The Party is held, like every year, from December the 27th to December the 29th in central Denmark at the congress center in Aars. Unfortunately there is only little left from that scene spirit of the first years. The Party became more a meeting point for gamers and those, who only want to fill up their hard drives via network. Those who are atracted by the prizes (at least EUR 1000 for the 1st prize at the mixed double demo competition) and the professional organisation should have a view to the new homepage.

Event: Radwar birthday party in early November in Heinsberg
At November the 9th 17 years ago the C64/Amiga group Radwar was foundeed and for that score the boys from Heinsberg like to go wild and party once again! Mws, Arnd, Crazy & Co. have gained some attention with well organized scene parties during the recent years. This year it is again that you leave your own computers at home because it's a party for the people not for their equipment. It's partytime! (ps) (Translation: ub)

Datatypes: akJFIF/PNG/TIFF Update Version 45.7
Due to a screwed test setup, a buggy akJFIF 45.6 version went to Aminet. As a result, 45.7 of all three datatypes now is available for download on my website (www.ar-kleinert.de) This is because Aminet has a 10 day upload delay for updates - and additionally I might not be able to do any uploads the first week of November.

Download:
akJFIF-dt.lha (Aminet Bugfix)
akPNG-dt.lha
akTIFF-dt.lha (ps)

Mail program: New Developer version of YAM from 26.10.2002
There is a new developer version 2.4 of the mail program YAM which in the meantime has become Open Source. This is a version which is still in progress and which therefore possibly contains bugs. The developer team offers no support and gives no guarantee! Any requests done by email will also not be answered. You use it on your own risk!

The changes which were made you can read in this list. You can get further information on the Yamos SourgeForge-site.
