BlackIRC 1.1 Freeware edition released
Our business is is shifting evermore into the graphic arts area and the
development of online products for servers and businesses. We therefore no
longer have the resources needed to continue BlackIRC development so we have decided
to release it as freeware. The integrated news service of BlackNews will be
taken over by amiga-news.de. We will however no longer support BlackIRC
because it is now freeware and support involves costs. Should anyone be
interested in further developing BlackIRC we are offering sourcecode
licences starting at 5000 DM.
BlackIRC is an IRC client for AMIGA with exceptional capabilities. Some
extras like XDCC, Bots, CTCP flood protection etc. are already implemented
in the client. Furthermore BlackIRC is the only Amiga IRC client allowing
video conferences.

VMC

4D+ Internet Double Wheel Maus available
VMC now has available the NG4D+ Internet Mouse. It has 4 buttons and 2
directional wheels. The Mouse includes a specially designed Amiga driver,
which includes all functions of the mouse and it is fully compltible and
integrated with AmigaOS.
Horizontal and vertical scrolling are controlled by the 2 wheels. All
buttons are individually controlled by the driver software. Here some
technical details (German).
I have tested the VMC mouse. The installation on the serial port was
simple and the configuration of the commodity driver software very easy.
This mouse has a good feel to it, even though it is quite a bit higher that
what I am used to. This takes a while to get used to. The first few hours I
still scrolled in the old fashioned way, but once I got used to the
scrolling wheels I never want to be without them again. A few old games
that hit the mouse hardware will still require the old mouse to function,
but it still can remain connected without any problem. I can only recommend
this mouse! (ps)

New PC-Maus Interface "Mroocheck" from Elbox
MROOCHECK - New PC Mouse Interface with Wheels support
ELBOX COMPUTER proudly announces:
Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface is a microprocessor based
adapter for attaching any PC mouses, trackballs,
glidepoints and radio-controlled mouses
to all models of Amiga computers.
MROOCHECK is simply connected between a PC mouse
and the Amiga Mouse port.
It supports all PC serial and combo mouses
working in the following protocols: Mouse System format,
Microsoft format, Microsoft format with Logitech extension.
MROOCHECK converts these serial protocols to the Amiga Mouse
Port format including all the specific features like
the middle (3rd) button support or high resolution.
This conversion is made by the interface microprocessor
so NO additional software drivers are required.
The interface start to work simultaneous with computer's start,
so it could be used in the early-startup-menu (unlike the
mouses connected through the serial port).
MROOCHECK recognizes vertical and horizontal mouse wheels
movements and converts them to Amiga analog joysticks signals.
Mroocheck.driver converts Amiga analog joysticks signals
(of horizontal and vertical wheels movements) from
Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface to input events for input.device.
Wheel movements are transmitted independent of (simultaneous with)
mouse movements and three mouse buttons.
Mroocheck allows scrolling in both directions
(horizontal and vertical), even in mouses
fitted only with one wheel!
Switching directions (from vertical to horizontal) is obtained
by holding the 3rd button simultaneous with the wheel movement.
MROOCHECK suggested retailed price: EUR 30.00

Recall of the CD-ROM version Digital Almanac II
To the owners of the CD-ROM version of Digital Almanac II (V1.8.8):
Unfortunately the CD contains a bad bug. Amigans using OS 3.1 are particularly concerned. In this case installing
the main program from CD to harddisk will fail. So if you are belong to this group of people (approximately 15 CDs sold)
you may have the CD exchanged by sending it, along with DM 3.- in stamps (return-postage)
back to the author (not your retailer !!).
If you own OS 3.5 and if the installation doesn't start by double clicking on the installation icon, copy the
Installer V44 (!!) from your OS 3.5 CD-ROM to your harrdrive, to C: for example. As said before:
This exchange can only be claimed by people owning OS 3.1 and the Digital Almanac II (V1.8.8) CD-ROM version.
A new update (V1.8.9) is available at the author's homepage. The Aminet upload will be available as soon as
Paderborn will be online again.

nullsana.device
There are news about a new Sana2 driver called "nullsana". The device can interconnect its units to connect a
Macintosh TCP/IP stack with an Amiga TCP/IP stack. Thus it works similarly to vlink.device.
However the new device is faster, more flexibly configurable and is conform to the newest Sana2 V2 standard
including package filter and mutiple opened units. The device can be configure as Ethernet, SLIP, CSLIP and Loopback.
Ethernet RAW Frames for Shapeshifter are supported. Sana2 statistics are computed. Since Aminet Paderborn is down
you can download the device here.

PC-Welt: Burned by the joystick
"A part of the Nintendo 64 games collection "Mario Party" may cause hand injuries. This has been confirmed by
the US central of the game's manufacturer. Every owner of the video game will now be provided with security gloves
in the USA.
Following a statement of the New York federal prosecutor, many parents have complained over "Mario Party" at Nintendo
in the USA. They say their kids have injured their hands while playing at it. Parents report several kinds of
injuries like burnings, stitches, cuts etc..."
Nintendo have now agreed to deliver four fingerless gloves ,which are reinforced at the palm, to each
american Mario Party customer. This engagement may cost Nintendo up to 80 million dollars. Furthermore the
company will pay for the 75,000 dollars which cost the investigation by the federal prosecutor.
A call at the hotline 0130/5806 from our part showed that there have been no cases or complaints arround
here, at least for the moment. So this may simply be a too early "April Fool's" joke.
