NListtree Final! Version 18.7 final
After many beta versions now the new version of NListtree is available under
the title link. NListtree is a MUI class basing on NList capable of
predictable displaying data in a tree pattern in different ways.
Among other software NListtree is utilized by
AmiTradeCenter, NewsCoaster, Charon, RxMUI, Workbench 2000,
SimpleMail, etc. This list is continuously growing.
For faultless function the latest version of NList v0.90 (19.98)
is needed, which is available under the title link form today, too.
NListtree works only constricted or not at all with elder versions of
NList.
And now an appeal: I would be happy about information which other programs are using
NListtree.
Have fun with it,
Carsten Scholling

bplan GmbH: Pegasos First Hardware
bplan announce the first hardware platform to be available.
bplan GmbH announce the first
Pegasos prototypes
to be available. The fist hardware line is currently in progress at
DCE and after technical clearance will be
utilized for system software verification purposes.
According to bplan a first official presentation of a working system is to be expected
for early May, already. At the same time developer systems for software companies will be
available. As for possible operating systems for those machines
Linux as well as
MorphOS are supported directly.
In those systems the bplan GmbH for the very first time makes a platform available
including the virtue of an open system like Linux, as well as direct support for existing
Amiga® software.
Contrary to alternative basic approaches MorphOS is capable of running existing Amiga®
programs in a native PowerPC environment. The synergy effects between
both operating systems (Linux/MorphOS) as a result of this let the Pegasos systems be
interesting for both, developers and users.

the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM. This
is true! A personal keyfile is generated by the CD-ROM if the
owner enters his personal registration code. With this keyfile

Query about Double-Buffering
These are no true Inutilis news, but it's a cry for help. I'm just about to
change the double-buffering system of the game Ermentrud. Unfortunately I'm
not that skilled in that, so my question:
Does anybody know the ropes of the intuition functions
AllocScreenBuffer,
ChangeScreenBuffer,
and anything along with these? Who ever has coded an intuition-friendly double-buffering,
please contact Timo@inutilis.de.
If you cannot help even, but know somebody knowing about that, it would be kind, if you
would forward this message to such person. I appreciate every reference.
