New Syntax Parser for GoldED Studio 6
A new syntax parser for GoldED Studio 6 is available for download at the
title link.
The syntax parser is based on Dietmar Eilert's source code. Some bugs were
fixed and new functions were added:
- recognition of script tags: PHP, ASP, JSP and Java-Script
- within those, the program code is displayed similar to C/C++ (special
characters, strings, brackets and program blocks are highlighted).
Hints on the installation and an example are in the archive which can be
downloaded at the title link.

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - AmigaKonto full version
By authority of Adreas Regul the program AmigaKonto is ready for
free download. AmigaKonto was developed for management of
accounts. Especially for bank giro accounts with many movements
one quickly forfeits summary in verifying recurrent money transfers.
Therefore AmigaKonto first of all serves as a special kind of
database for managing the different transfer orders. By
various selection and statistic functions then it is possible to
address single positions well directed.
Full benefit is to achieve in collecting account data over several years
to have comparison values at hand enabling you to get a quick summary
by use of the selection functions.
Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is
without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of
Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation,
so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to
Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are
talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.
Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody
at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.
Supplement 02 March 2001
On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no
loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older
buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or
could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!
