SFXSoft: YGM V2.6
YGM stands for 'You've Got Mail'. It checks an unlimited number of POP3
mailboxes for new mails without needing to start up the favourite yet
sometimes bulky mail client just for this. YGM shows how many mails are
waiting in each mailbox for download and their approximate size.
The most important new features in this release are:
The argument NOQUIT has been added to tell YGM not to quit an already
running instance of YGM if it is started again. Modified the places where
YGM looks for different files to better support running YGM from the
WBStartup drawer. Mailbox login now supports APOP for transmitting username
and password more safely. REPEAT values may now be specified in seconds too.

Dave Haynie left Merlancia
Dave Haynie, "Mr. 3000," was asked at the AmigaExpo2002 last weekend if he is still working for Merlancia Industries. His answer was NO. Dave would not tell what he actually doing right now, only that it has nothing to do with Amigas or PCs. amiga-news.de reported last year (July) that Haynie had become CTO of Merlancia.
Last weekend Dave played with a band called 'Unpanned Swampland Band'.

The GFX-BASE team has published an English spoken interview with Darius Brewka who is the author of the startmenu clone "AmiStart".
AmiStart is a new startmenu clone for AmigaOS which offers the usual functions as well as some special things like transparent menus, keyboard-shortcuts, drag and drop and more. We have spoken with Darius about his plans for the new beta of AmiStart which is supposed to be published soon and have asked the usual questions.
And a last point: Please change your bookmarks to www.gfxbase.com.

Amiga Arena: Full version + source code of DBase V3.4
In co-operation with "David Ekholm" Amiga Arena publishes the final
version of DBase 3.4 with the free available source code.
DBase is a little but fast database.
The source code has been created under the SAS compiler (6.xx).
After "ArtPro" and "Aual Illusion" it is another program on the site
of Amiga Arena which is available for free development.
You can get more information in the download archive or by "David Ekholm" (david-ek@dsv.su.se).

amiga.org: Hyperion-Chat (AmigaExpo 2002) (Update)
The Amiga Expo 2002 Hyperion chat is now available for download!
Download: Amiga-Expo-2002-hyperion.mp3 (5,5 MB)
Some interesting snippets of information, posted by SlimJim:
- Screenshots of Amiga OS 4.0 will be published in the first part of April.
- Magic Menu and Birdie (among others) will be seamlessly integrated into the OS 4.0 interface.
- The new OS 4.0 GUI will look quite different (i.e it will not just look like a fast OS 3.9).
- Opus Magellan 2 has been licensed for OS 4.0 (details unknown).
- For the moment, the new printer system is not due to arrive until Boingbag/OS 4.1.
- The _latest_ MUI source code will be used (there was a question about this)
- IBrowse2.3 will be quite some beast. It will be enhanced
for OS4.0. Not just some Aminet update. It will still miss
some features of Netscape/IE though. There is not time to
fix all to OS4.0. Flash is planned to be implemented. IB
will be _much_ more stable than it is now.
- The guy that did the Warp-datatypes seems to be doing the
new PPC-datatypes.
- The datatype system as a whole is to get a complete overhaul later.
There is not enough time to do that to initial release.
- An office suit (Open office if I remember correctly)
is being worked on. This is a 'high priority' for inclusion.
(although it was not clear to me if it would be shipped initially)
- The development of software -independent of company size-
is difficult to predict. But Mr. Hermans seems quite
confident of an end-user release in May.
Update 02.04.2002:
Here a largher transscript from
amiga.org.

AmigaOSXL: Experiences with the H&P Big-Tower 1800+ (Update)
Dietmar Knoll:
In my report I describe the experiences I have made with the
Big-Tower. The eighth update includes some changes, that I
describe on the top of the page. I have re-arranged, corrected and
updated some parts. Further, I have extended the comments on BoingBag2
once again.
Next, I will re-write the chapter about "Patches for Amithlon".
If you look closely, you will find a little Easter egg, btw.
In other words: Happy Easter! ;-) (ps)

New C64 Commodore One
According to the internetradio broadcast from the Amiga Expo in Baltimore, there might arrive a successor of the C64 this year to market, the Commodore One.
Different to former "successors", which were in truth only common 486 pcs with an C64 emulation, this one will be a completley new design, as most as possible compatible to the C64. Interesting is that, different than the Aone, this will use custonchips again.
For sound there is "Monstersid", the grafics will be done from
"super vic" with a maximun resolution of 1280x1024.
