Amithlon: second contribution archive released
On the Amithlon site (title link) of Bernie Meyer can the following message be
read:
New on 18th of May 2002: The second collection of new and enhanced patches is now
here available. Please ensure that you have read the (unfortunately only
in English available) README.
Download: amithlon_contrib2.lha
With these patches should the problems with Pentium4 systems and VESA
framebuffer drivers as well as crashes of PGP 2.6.3 be fixed.
Besides that, there's an experimental patch for ZIP and LS-120 drives.
According to Bernd Meyer (Amithlon ml) should you install at least the patch for
PGP (patch2_vec.o) as it may also fix other problems. The other patches are only
thought for those having the particular problem.
Especially the ZIP patch is only for ZIP users. (quoting Bernd: "The things it
does are *not* nice.")

ToT: Exchange of experiences with programmers and musicans wanted
Martin Wolf wrote:
Because of a exchange of experiences we are urgently looking for an Amiga-programmer who is experienced in StormC gcc especially in the optimizing and who can help us a little bit.
Tales of Tamar has been ported to gcc. Unfortunately not everything works fine as it should after it has been started to optimate. Each help is welcome!
Besides this we are still always looking for somebody who wants to create cool Amiga moduls for ToT (Digibooster or Soundtracker-format). These moduls are not a must but they are a funny extra (besides the main soundtrack).

Tool: FSwatcher version 1.3
There is a major update for FSwatcher which contains many new features and one bug fix. FSwatcher is the name of FileSizeWatcher and therefore looks for the size of a file. For instance if you download a file with a program which has not a transfer window FSwatcher shows you how many bytes have been already transfered. You can use this program also with the file-sharing program Audiogalaxy Satellite.
Download: FSwatcher.lzx
Version 1.3 (16/17.05.02):
- FIX: Fixed the automatically closing of the finished requester
- NEW: You can now set the env-var 'FSwatcher' to your default args.
It will be parsed before the commandline is parsed.
Therefore all /S shell args are now /T args, if you want to
set a /T arg you have to put a "ON" or "YES" after it, and if
you want to unset it, you have to use "OFF" or "NO"!
- NEW: New shell arg QUIET/T [suggested by jah]
Should ALL error requesters be suppressed?
Well the "Dos.ReadArgs() failed!" isn't suppressed;-)
- NEW: New shell arg BPSBar/T
Should a small gauge showing the current bps relative to the
max bps be displayed?
- NEW: New shell arg TimeOut/N
If a transfer is stalled (-> the "---" display) AND AUTOEXIT/T is
used, the window will close after 'TimeOut' seconds.
Defaults to 10. You can use values from 0 to 30. 0 means, no timeout.
- NEW: New shell arg Delay=UpdateDelay/N
Update the display every x seconds. Defaults to 2.
You can use values from 1 to 10.
- NEW: New shell arg KB=ShowKBytes/T
If the current size and the filesize should be displayed in "kb",
then you should set this argument to ON or YES,
- NEW: the window doesn't gets activated when its opened

Amiga Club Guide Updated
To offer users the possibility of finding Amiga clubs in their area, Matthias Muench has established the Amiga Club Guide. Active clubs, societies and user groups in Germany are sorted geographically.
The Club Guide has been brought to an up-to-date state and refined somewhat. The IRC lists were removed, because there was not too much interest in that. At this time there are 36 clubs with 847 members registered in the guide.
Through this form
you can enter your own Amiga club, society, or user group.
