Various Software Updates by Thilo Köhler
Thilo Köhler released the following updates to his programs:
- Sample Manager 1.3 - AHI sample editor in the AudioMaster style with DSP effects
- PosTED 1.3 - Memory aid for Workbench in the style of PostIT!
- TuiTED 1.3 Alpha - Text editor with data browser and syntax highlighting for HTML, C++, AmiBlitz
- TKPlayer 1.3 - Mini-AHI-player for mp3, aiff, wav, maud, 8svx, cdda.
ideal for Def-Icons or for a filer on account of the fact that it has no extensive GUI. New: TKPlayer Lite, which doesn't open a GUI at all and therby may be utilized as a soundplayer in programs such as YAM.
- AsteroidsTR 1.2 - Asteroids clone with global Internet highscore List. New: improvements to the Internet highscore list and better compatibility with MorphOS
- ArTKanoid 2.9 - Arkanoid clone for the WB screen w 24 bit skins. New: more sound skins, bugfixes
The named software is available under the title link or on Aminet, after the next Aminet refresh. (snx) (Translation: dm)

More Amiga Games for Mobile Telephone
Psyria writes: because the subject has come up in today's news I'd also like to mention something.
For those familiar with good old Amiga games, the following two links should be of interest:
Jubble Bobble -
freeware Bubble Bobble for all Siemens Handys with Java
Tower - Nebulus Buy&Play variant (levels may be purchased alongside) for various Handy models
Have fun with the gaming! :) (snx) (Translation: dm)

Sourceforge Project for "clib2"
"clib2" is a C library that's used in OS4 wherever the alternative "newlib" is not. Olaf Barthel has worked on this library for two years, originally with the goal of using it for the port of Samba 2.2.5.
In the meantime a lot more has happened:
An almost complete ISO-C (1994) compatible runtime environment with fully available source code. It may be used with GCC (68k und PowerPC) or SAS/C. Whoever has problems with the StormC runtime library, for example, may have better luck with clib2 (assuming an adaptation to this compiler has been made).
Because such a big project is not without bugs after two years, Olaf would be pleased to have the support of more developers. To this end the clib2 project has been hosted on sourceforge.net for the past few weeks. (cg) (Translation: dm)

MorphOS Adaptations of MUIFind and Altabber, Devedie Update
The programs Altabber and MUIFind are now also available for MorphOS. Relating to that there have been some recent instances of bugs being eliminated that gave the current MorphOS version problems.
And so the graphic user interface of Devedie for DVD display by way of MPlayer has been updated. This may be downloaded for Pegasoshere , in the Pegasos Forum.
MUIFind is a search program taht has the option of opening the found data as well as opening the corresponding program.
Altabber works in principal like Alt+Tab key combinations under Windows. It also enables switching between programs. The way this is done involves separate handling of screens and windows, and the hotkeys are freely configurable.

Incriminations against Genesi in connection with the Guardian withdrawn
While reporting about the discontinuation of Pegasos support by the operating system OpenBSD, we also linked to a statement by Mitch B. Parker on the mailinglist OpenBSD-misc. Mr. Parker had worked on the Guardian project together with Dale Rahn and ShopIP.
In the mentioned mailinglist posting, he had accused Genesi of reverse engineering and sabotage with regard to ShopIP's CrunchBox. Under the title link, again on the OpenBSD-misc mailinglist, he has now withdrawn his incriminations as being utterly false. (snx)

MorphOS: Beta version of the Free Pascal-Compiler available
Karoly 'Chain-Q' Balogh has provided a first developer snapshot of the MorphOS version of Free Pascal for download at the title link.
The current version has been published mainly for those who like to play around with it - for bigger, serious programming projects this version is not matured enough yet, but this should change quickly.
The Free Pascal compiler for MorphOS is based on the same sources as the current FP-CVS version 1.9.5. Further information about this programming language is to obtain from http://www.freepascal.org. There is also some MorphOS specific information regarding the Free Pascal compiler.

Commodity: Window2Front
Michel 'DMX' Bagmeijer's commodity Window2Front is since today available on Aminet.
Unlike other programs of this kind it doesn't move the windows to the front via mouse click but via keyboard hotkey - which makes the need of rearranging the windows when the wanted one is just now completely covered and not directly accessable via the mouse obsolete. Required are at least Kickstart 2.04 and the commodities.library.
