CLI2WB, easy CLI commandline launch from Workbench
CLI2WB, easy launch Shell (CLI) commandline from Workbench.
I've configurated CLI2WB for the realaudio 1/2/3 player RAplay.
So doubleclick on the icon, an ASL loadrequester appears to
select a realaudio to play. You can define the title, OK button
and pattern of the requester in CLI2WB's tooltypes, and more.
Also released Shrinky, a little utility to shrink the size of
a file to an exact desired size.
Grts, Tom Duin alias Amigaharry (ps)

EvenMore
|
Textviewer: EvenMore version 0.60
The freeware textviewer 'EvenMore' is ready for download in version 0.60.
Changes since version 0.59:
- Created a basic RTF plugin.
- Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the
printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The
other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench
printer preferences instead.
- Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or
closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
- Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be
loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will
support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
- Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
- A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga,
along with a new Russian locale!

AHI - Beta
|
Audio: AHI - ahi.device 5.21 (Beta) (Update)
Martin Blom released version 5.21 (beta) of the ahi.device for ix86. The following changes were made.
- ahi.device: Re-enabled optimization and removed all 64 bit
kludges for the Amithlon version. It's still just using the C
version of the mixing routines, but is already about 2.5 times
faster native (compared to the JIT-compiled 4.180 version). I like
it.
- paula.audio: When opening timer.device (used in the DMA mode),
I didn't clear the flags parameter and opened UNIT_MICROHZ instead
of UNIT_ECLOCK. [Sigbjørn Skjæret]

back2roots.org: New mirrors
Besides a complete mirror (accessable via http and ftp) we added some new
interesting mirrors:
Newly added complete mirrors:
- amidemos.org (Amiga demos as DivX videoformat),
- amigascne.org (a lot scene material)
- aros.org (the source compatible AmigaOS clone),
- geekgadgets.org (ports of many GNU/FSF programs for Amiga),
- funet.fi [amiga] (many old Amiga programs, +Fish disks 1-999)
- uu.net [amiga] (only few but very old Amiga programs :)
- AMOK (Amiga Modula & Oberon Club, disks 1-105)
- UAE (Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, source- and binary archive)
- WinUAE (Main-FTP of winuae.net)
Except the old pieces of software, everything else is updated every day and Aminet even every 2 hours.
As a special gift you will find the complete 'Frozenfish'-cd that also contains fish-disks 1-1000.
If somebody wants to add other freeware (floppy-)disk series and owns a flatrate, please feel free
to contact us. ADF, DMS and lha archives are welcomed, too.
Furthermore we would like to publish other freeware CD's. So if somebody owns such a thing and has a broadband connection available do not hasitate and contact us, too. Our ftp-server can be accessed at:
Please contact info@back2roots.org before doing large uploads. Thanks a lot! (ps) (Translation: sk)

AmigaOne: MPEG showing the AmigaOne booting TurboLinux
Elwood writes on ANN:
I uploaded on Aminet a video in Mpeg showing the AmigaOne booting
TurboLinux. This video is old (March 2002) and not professional in
any way (in fact, it never meant to be). I originally wanted to
upload it on my website instead of putting this huge file on Aminet
but my ISP didn't allow me this. So here it is, to make Aminet even
bigger!
Remember this AmigaOne is the prototype (G3/600Mhz) and it runs
TurboLinux. And I must confess, I never seen a Linux booting that fast.
I'm excited to get my hand on AmigaOS4.
Download: AmigaOne.mpg (80 MB)
Update 02.06.2002:
The video was deleted from this Aminet server. I do not know the motive.
Update II 02.06.2002:
Here you will find the explanation from Elwood. (ps)
