Textviewer: EvenMore - new plugin
I have created a new Generic plugin. If all the plugins fail to
recognise a binary file, this plugin will open the file and strip all
lines ending with CR or LF.
This is a 'last resort' plugin, there will be files it will not work on
due to formatting differences, but it can be used for files for some
files which no plugins exist yet (I tested it on an Outlook 2000 email,
worked with no glitches, works with a few glitches on some Mac text
files).
Download now for free at the above link! (ps)

Game: Tales of Tamar - New Amiga version 0.41 R1
Tales of Tamar is an internet turn-based strategy game for Amiga, Atari,
Java, Linux and PC by Eternity Entertainment Software. For registered
beta testers there's a new Amiga version 0.41 R1 available for download.
The latest version finally enables players to annex enemy towns, thus
exterminating enemy players. It also allows them to maintain several
towns in a country.
The only things missing until the release the Amiga base set are towns
for level two, three and four, cavalry, artillery, settlers and a few
other bits. The light at the end of the tunnel is near :-)

e.p.i.c. interactive: THE FEEBLE FILES Amiga-Version in production
THE FEEBLE FILES has now been completed for the Amiga and sent off to go
into production. The finished game should be sent out to all those who have
preordered the game within the next 10-12 days. THE FEEBLE FILES is a
cartoon adventure from the makers of the famous Simon The Sorcerer series.
You are Feeble or rather you're a down trodden Grenelon who just happens to
be called Feeble...
Rendered animation, stereo sound and a plot of epic proportions take this
adventure into a different galaxy. Witty and humerous but with dark
undertones. THE FEEBLE FILES contains acts of betrayal, intrigue, revolution
and even a bit of cross dressing. Add to that around 80 locations to visit,
six thousand voice lines to interact with, there should be plenty to keep
everyone happy without the aid of chemical supplements.
THE FEEBLE FILES for the Amiga comes on 2 CDs and contains both full english
and german speech versions. The Amiga version requires either an Amiga with
68060, 4 MByte Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM or an Amiga with PPC, 4 MByte
Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM.
You can find more information on THE FEEBLE FILES in the projects section
under the title link.

ScummVM Version 0.1.0 for MorphOS released
Rüdiger Hanke released his new version of the ScummVM-MorphOS. He wrote, that
this new version would fix many bugs from v0.0.3.
The MorphOS version got some display code now and became independent of SDL.
This reduces the program in size and switching from full screen to window mode
now works clean. Other enhancements are being worked on.
