Vintage Computer Festival Europe in Munich
As already reported will for the
third time the "Vintage Computer Festival Europe (VCF)" come to Munich on 27. and 28. April 2002.
Goal of the Vintage Computer Festival is to support the preservation and the maintenance of
'historical' computers and other (E)DV devices, to awake the interest in
'superfluous' hard- and software and especially to have fun in it. The VCF is in
the meantime not only a regular event in the Californian Silicon Valley but also
a fix point in the European appointment books.
So let us return to the good old days when hacker were no security consultants,
bytes no Megabytes and Kleine Grüne Männchen were just Kleine Gruene Maennchen!
Of course does our Amiga system have to appear here.
Among the registered exhibitions is
"The Amiga history - From the unfortunate games console to the multimedia
workstation" by Thorsten Kuphaldt. People living in and near Munich shouldn't miss
the event at all!

New LDDCheck in the works
Michael Dietrich:
Unfortunately is Heiko
Schröder, the author of LDDCheck, since August 2000 not active on the
Amiga anymore, "AmigaSystem.org doesn't exist anymore since last year!" he
wrote to me on 25. April 2002. As many Amiga users appreciate the service of the
possibility to check online whether existing libraries, datatypes and devices
were still up-to-date and, if needed, to download a current version I asked Heiko
whether I may continue the project.
He gave me the permission and is pleased that his two years of work on the
project weren't wasted. The following projects has he entrusted to me:
- LibGuide
- DTypeGuide
- DevGuide
He will even deliver all scripts for the Internet so that we do not have to
restart from scratch! As I can't realize the project on my own I'm looking
for people who would like to participate in the project. Interested ones should
send an email to Michael Dietrich
or contact me via ICQ: Wolverine (107370055). (Translation: wk)

Amiga Arena: Full version of Breed96 version 1.3
One of the "most wanted" shareware games of the Amiga Arena was Breed96 by Damian Tarnawsky. It took a long time to make a free version possible but now Breed96 is available for free download in version 1.3!
Breed96 belongs to the best shareware games which has been developed for the Amiga and it should be commercially distributed by Vulcan Software after the developer Damian Tarnawsky worked three months on the next part Breed2000. But Breed2000 was never published by Vulcan Software.
Breed96 is a space colonisation game with elements from Sim City, Reunion and Deuteros. You have to build up your colony and to produce ore, food and buildings. You have to manage famines, attacks of Aliens and similar problems as well as explore and populate planets or leading wars.
Hints:
Damian Tarnawsky has not got the original version of Breed96 and therefore with his permission the cracked (keyfile) version 1.3 is available! Should be there anybody who has got a keyfile or the full version of Breed96 1.3b then please contact me! Thanks!

Amiforce: Amiblitz version 2.26 available
From today on you can download the updated archive of Amiblitz version 2.26 under the title link.
Soon you cal also download it from the Aminet (already uploaded). Now there is also a German version of the following components:
- Amiblitz 2.26 (compiler)
- PED 2.26 (editor)
- Amiblitz2.readme
- Amiblitz2faq.txt
- Amiblitzhistory.txt
In order to get the German version you only simply have to rename the file PED_ger to PED. Then you start AmiBlitz2_ger and the German version will be opened.
Of course the English version is still always part of the archive.
For a problem-free work with Amiblitz 2.26 and PED 2.26 you should also install the disassembler.library which is part of the MMUlib-package (available on Aminet). But Amiblitz do work without this library. A requester will remind you to install it. ;-)
Direct download link: MMULib.lha.
For the information of further changes and bug fixes please read the history which is a component of the archive.
Besides a mailinglist there is also a forum for interested people. Please also visit http://www.blitz-2000.co.uk for a big archive of Blitz2-material and much more. Thanks a lot to Bernd Roesch who made the realization possible.
