Event: Classic Computing 2006 nearly booked up
The Classic Computing 2006 is taking place on 30 September and 1 October 2006 in Nordhorn. The number of registrations and the response of the press is, according to the organisers, already in the run-up exceeding all expectations.
They further say that already today all tables were booked for the time being. However, as there was still some space available, exhibitors with their own stands or tables were still welcome, they continue; all the rest had to be set on the waiting list for the case of someone cancelling the reservation.
The organiser point out that exhibitors or sellers interested in participation should register as fast as possible. (snx) (Translation: iw)

Status update of the OpenOffice porting
The developers of the Amiga porting of OpenOffice.org inform that so far some of the conditions for a port of the Ofiice packet had already been created; in the meantime Amiga versions of libusb, aspell and neon have been available, a version of csh is already in process.
Additional developers are needed for the buildup of a complete data base with all connections as well as for the completion of the csh port. Those works have to be finished before the beginning of the actual OpenOffice porting.
Interested developers should subscribe the mailing list of the project to obtain further details there.
(Note of the editorial office: the website amigaopenoffice.org has been hacked recently and is therefore currently not available). (cg) (Translation: iw)

New German Printmagazin: RETRO
"Retro" is a new german Printmagazin, but only in german language.
German notification:
"Retro" ist der Trend unserer Zeit - daran gibt es
keinen Zweifel. Menschen erinnern sich gerne an Musik,
Mode und Fernsehsendungen aus Kindheit, Jugend und den
frühen Erwachsenentagen. Sie mischen alte Erinnerungen
mit dem Lebensgefühl der Gegenwart und haben viel Spaß
dabei. 80er-Shows, Hit-Remixes und Neuauflagen
zahlreicher Computerspieleklassiker machen es vor.
Die "gute alte Zeit" lebt wieder auf. Denn "Retro"
heißt eigentlich "rückwärtsgewandt" - doch RETRO, das
neue Magazin aus dem CSW-Verlag, ist alles andere als
das. Hier wird nichts verklärt und der Vergangenheit
nicht hinterher geweint - hier werden stattdessen mit
den Highlights vergangener Tage Gegenwart und Zukunft
gestaltet. Digital, multimedial und grenzenlos. RETRO
füllt somit die Lücke im Bereich digitaler Retrotrends
auf einzigartige Weise.
Spannend, humorvoll und stilsicher - RETRO bietet
alles aus dem Kosmos des digitalen Lifestyles. Das
Magazin berichtet über Hard- und Software für
Retrofans, stellt aber auch die Menschen und Storys
im Hintergrund vor. Mit dem regelmäßigen Blick auf
Events in aller Welt informiert RETRO über alle
Aspekte der digitalen Retrokultur. Eine CD-ROM liegt
übrigens ebenfalls jedem Magazin bei - voll gepackt
mit Videos, Sounds und Spielen aus der Retroszene.
In der aktuellen Ausgabe kommen neben dem unangefochtenen
Lieblingscomputer C64 auch Atari und Amiga nicht zu kurz.
Dazu gibt es Longplays klassischer Spielehighlights,
Hardwaretests, Audio-News, bissige Satire, Interviews
und sogar ein Gewinnspiel. Mit etwas Glück kann man
neben dem Hauptpreis, einer Reise an die türkische
Riviera auch eine echte Retrotapete sowie ein C64DTV,
den C64 im Joystick, gewinnen.
Leseprobe: www.go64.de.
RETRO ist ab sofort im Zeitschriftenhandel, bei
Amazon oder per Direktbezug über
www.csw-verlag.de/shop
erhältlich. (nba) (Translation: aj)

MorphOS: Vector graphics program SteamDraw 0.6R6
In the new version 0.6R5 of Stefan Kleinheinrich's 2D vector graphics program for MorphOS, SteamDraw, primarily some errors were corrected, so that it should now run cleanly under MUI 3.9 as well as MUI 4-alpha and not forget any windows when closing.
A solution was found for the longer lasting problem, that SteamDraw crashed when activating the Arc-Tools, as well.
Furthermore, changes in the generated EPS code were carried out and some problems when moving objects in the positions list were corrected.
Now, SteamDraw requires no Assign anymore either - but those who want to start it via project files should specify the corresponding path as default program in the "images/file" icon.
Likewise new are the subtools in the polygon tool for creating rhombi, deltoids and parallelograms.
Download: SteamDraw.lha (848 KB)
Update: (28.06.2006, 20:30, cg)
In the meantime, version 0.6R6 is available, in which some Enforcer hits during the start activity were corrected. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Individual Computers: new Catweasel driver for Windows/delays
For Windows 2000/XP there's a new Catweasel driver available. As most important change it uses the Kylwalda part of the Catweasel MK4. So the floppy drive can be switched from the onboard floppy controller to the Catweasel and back.
Furthermore does Individual Computers announce under the title link that there will be some delay in delivering the turbo card for the A 600 and the Amiga&n500 version of the IDE controller Buddha because of some remittance work. It is aked not to enquire these products.
There are also some news regarding the delivery: because of insurance wise reasons there's a store since April in use that is 11 km away from the bureau so that because of time saving reasons from August on packages are only delivered on Tuesday. Therefore it could happen that some web shops list some articles as "not available" though they are available at Individual Computers. All products would be indeed availabe in big numbers almost at once. (snx) (Translation: wk)

MorphOS: New Screenshots of the KHTML-Port
Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski provides new screenshots of KHTML-Port, which demonstrates the illustration of some CSS-loaded pages.
Kwiatkowski told amiga-news.de that a port of the project named "Sputnik" to other Amiga operating systems isn't planned for the time being.
When the MorphOS version would be finished, an adaption to AmigaOS 4 could be possible, under the condition he gets a relevant computer and an adequate financial appeal. (cg) (Translation: tz)

Tipps & Tricks: CD-ROM with Workbench 1.3
amiga-news.de reader Markus Bartolich has sent us a brief tutorial how to use a CD-ROM drive with AmigaOS 1.3:
"It is possible to mount a CD-ROM withr Workbench 1.3 by using
the BabelCDFS. After archive extraction the both files "BABELCDROMFS" and "BabelCDROMCtrl" must be copied to the directory
"L:". The mountList in directory "Devs:" has to be expanded by adding the following lines:
* CD-ROM mounten *
CD0: Handler = L:BABELCDROMFS
Startup = gvpscsi.device/5 (Device-Name und Unit bitte anpassen!)
StackSize = 4000
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
#
Afterwards the line "mount CD0:" should be added to the file "StartupII", reboot... that's it!
I run that method successfully with a CD-ROM under Workbench 1.3 on my A2000 with a GVP-SCSI controller." (cg) (Translation: ub)

Spreadsheet software: ignition 1.0 beta 1 released
Press release - Since the development of ignition proceeds much slower than originally anticipated, we decided to release an up-to-date and not restricted beta version.
Your support should push the further development forward. But we're also
relying on your help to be able to complete the product. Particularly, we
need help with the following things:
- Revising and completing of the available documentation
- Translation of that documentation to German and English - other
languages are welcome, too, of course
- Translations of the program texts themselves
- New and more icons that can be used in the tool bars
- Reports of existing bugs in the whole package
At least the tree most contributing people will get a free version of
<ignition> as a compensation for their help. A mailing list will be
available, a bug tracker already is.
We're looking forward to your contributions! (snx)

Individual Computers: The trouble with the C64DTV
Under the title link Lars Sobiraj summarized the explanations given by Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers) concerning the C-One and C64DTV. According to the well-known hardware developer it lost about 100.000 Euro with the C-One project after the developer Jeri Ellsworth had given already paid work to a different product - the C64DTV - and thus the C-One stayed incompletely.

- Now translated to Polish, Swedish, Norwegian, German and French!
- I've attempted to fix the instability when using DCC SEND under OS3/MOS.. please report back to me if anyones still having problems
- RESUME support added for outgoing DCC SEND (Incoming RESUME has worked for quite some time, but now it works both ways)
- There used to be startup text if wookie couldnt load a catalog for your default language. I've since changed this so you only see this text if you run wookie with the "debug" option from shell.

AmigaOS 4: Instant messenger Epistula
The latest version of the instant messengers Epistulacomes with several minor extensions and improvements. There is a plugin for the messaging services AIM/ICQ by AOL available now.
The changes in detail:
- Documentation is provided in PDF form.
- All imagery within Epistula is now user configurable. I've used PNG images as IFF won't display correctly on my machine. Note a word of warning though; don't try and use a PNG image with more than 256 colours as it will crash. I need to adapt my code to work with high colour images first.
- You can now add and remove contacts to and from your contact list, although this will also depend on that functionality being implemented fully in the plugin.
- Contacts can be moved (dragged and dropped) to and from any groups you have with your contact list. Note that I've found a nasty bug in the add group functionality, so it's disabled for now. A fix will be released VERY soon.
- Full logging is provided should you need it. If I'm missing anything which you'd like implemented and added to the logs, drop me a line and I'll see it's added for the next update.
- Docky icon implemented, although it doesn't do anything yet and looks err, dark. Best leave it off until I'm finished with it.
- Updated catalogs and missing translations from last version fixed. If you spot anything which isn't translated let me know so I can fix it. Note that you should remove any old epistula.catalogs.
- Nicely re-written plugin removal code which uses new features of dos.library to stop those awful crashes and 'Cannot quit plugin' messages.
- Your installed MUI Classes are checked to make sure they're the correct version or above.
The ICQ-/AIM plugin is called "TOC" and has been tested with the official client of these services. The program has surpassed all tests already, but since this is the first release the author guesses there might be some glitches still.. File transmission as well as sorting the "Buddy list" is not yet implemented. (cg) (Translation: ub)

Hardware-Hack: Shutting down Pegasos with software
Carsten Siegner has developed a hardware-hack which makes it possible shutting down the Pegasos with
software. With the current version of MorphOS this is not possible because the Firmware is completely
hidden.
Siegners hack consists of a little wiring which will be connected to the floppy-port of the Pegasos and then can shut down the ATX-power pack of the Pegasos. It is released by little tool developed by Guido Meersmann which controls the connection with the help of the trackdisk.device.
Installation:
The tool "MotorTool_MOSPPC" must be renamed to "Shutdown" and then copied to MOSSYS:C. After building and connecting the hardware now you can shut down the computer with entering "Shutdown" in a Shell-window.
Some versions of Ambient contain the menu point "shut down" - because this also calls up MOSSYS:C/Shutdown the command should shut down the computer as well.
The author points out that he gives no liability if there should be any harm to the hardware which are caused by copying this wiring. You also should have a closer look at the Readme in the programm archive "Motortool.lha".

Motor tool: MotorTool.lha

A few source codes of some parts of the project will be not released.
But the complete souce code will be given to morphzone.org in order to have the guarantee that the project will be developed further if the author should lose the interest.

Event: updated information about the Amiga-Meeting Nord
From October, 13. to October, 15. does in Bad Bramstedt the Amiga-Meeting Nord take place again. As Sven Scheele announced, already 28 participiants have registered which is a new register record for this point in time. The number of participiants is limited to 40 computers places.
Among the participiants are two developers right now. So will Guido Mersmann show the current development state of his TV cards software Valiant Vision.
The AmithlonTV successor will for example receive support for DVB-T/S/C cards.
Sven Dröge will for the first time introduce his new HBCI capable banking software proBanking to the public. The software is still in development. Sven Dröge is the author of the stock exchange software proBonds.
If there's enough interest there will be a small workshop to demonstrate the possibilities of the programming language AmiBlitz2.
With Axel Knabe there'll be a reseller at the meeting, too. There you can among other things have a look at see the current development state of the CD/DVD burner software BurnIt. The release of the program is further delayed but in the meantime it passes through a special beta test.
The organizers want to call once again all developers to use the meeting to show their projects respectively their products to the potential users. For this there's still the offer of a participation at half the normal price.
