Netscape for AmigaDE in the works
Logain wrote:
While searching through the Mozilla site I came across two interesting pages.
The first one can be reached via the title link and is the page of the AmigaDE port of
Mozilla that is developed by James Russell. The project is in a very early state
and he is still looking for strong support.
The other one's here, the site about the new "revolutionary"
browser engine of Netscape that is said to have a platform independant architecture
and is the main part of Netscape 6.1. As possible platform for a port they
mention, next to several Unix systems, BeOS and OS2/Warp, the Amiga.

Individual Computers: New xsurfadsl.device and appp.device
A new archive with the PPPoE-drivers for our networking card X-Surf can
be found in the support-area of our website. The CPU-load has been
lowered, and some parts of the appp.device have been prepared for
further debugging. The performance is already a bit more stable on
some setups, so we can release this last version before Christmas
for a public test.

GRex IRC Channel closed for the time being
Michael Göken, who presented DCE's PCI board GRex on the Amiga 2001 show,
has established a support channel for GRex users on 27. October 2001
(we reported about). Now, after
about six weeks this channel was put on hold until further notice.
Michael Göken: "I neither have the time nor the money to perform support
while DCE does not support me in doing this. After hundreds of miles and masses of
sparetime spend on it, I still haven't got a run capable A4000T beta board from DCE.
Thus for the time being I will not answer any questions regarding the GRex PCI board, any
more. Please, if you have questions contact T. Dellert in person." (ps) (Translation: mj)

Sample Editor: SoundFX - Status of V4.2
SoundFX is an editor for digitized audio data (samples). SoundFX
was built modular and has a comfortable GUI. You can add digital effects
(which are unique on the Amiga) to samples and edit them. Currently the
programmer is working on version 4.2 and gives the following status report:
Stefan Kost: "The changes of the saving API were finished, so one now also
can save to areas. Now I will adjust the savers. Furthermore I have added some
new menu items (help menu). Of course some bugs had to bite the dust, too, and
the documentation is progressing as well (FAQ almost finished)."

but it should.
