Amiga Future: page online again & updates
The Amiga Future homepage had been offline for a longer peroid of time
yesterday. In the data center of the host had been a lack of power as three from
each other independent main power lines were cut through during construction works
for an ICE railway not far away.
Now everything is back to normal and the cheats and the Workbench gallery have
been updated. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Announcement: new online magazine - GetBoinged
There had been a change at the head of the AMIGA online magazine "NoCover". With
a new chief editor and new ideas we want to look into a better future. For this
several preparations had taken place so that our plan can be put into effect.
The first step was the name change from "NoCover" into "GetBoinged". The second
step will follow in the next few days when our official homepage will go online
under "www.getboinged.de". All further details can be read then there.
With the "GetBoinged" magazine we want to go another way than other AMIGA online
magazines, here at "GetBoinged" you'll only read facts and nothing else that may
possibly be released someday in the future. Furthermore we refer to already
existing and usable hardware. There will definitely be no reports about the
alternative operating system MorphOS.
Because only a small number of users is participating we'll only come up with
specially chosen rubrics to offer a quite filled magazine despite this.
Point: new users
To secure our surviving you will be able to receive the "GetBoinged" magazine
not only via the Aminet or various AMIGA CD-ROMs. Owners and buyers of Windows
systems will be pleased as our magazine will be placed on several CD-ROMs of
"Windows" magazines, too. The CD-ROM subscription of the "GetBoinged"
respectively the once "NoCover" will be discontinued because of this step.
With kind regards,
Your "GetBoinged" editorial staff

Emulator: New WinUAE clipboard utility
There's now an improved clipboard utility (download updated clipboard utility
for 0.8.22R1) for WinUAE to exchange data between Windows and AmigaOS. It works
now with YAM, Editpad and everything that uses several hunks on the Amiga side.
The related Readme has been updated, too. The most important:
In YAM you choose the wanted block and press the winuaeclip hotkey
(CTRL+c is default). The YAM message No area marked can be ignored,
everything had been done correctly.

Combined player/decoder/encoder GUI for .ogg files
Carsten Siegner wrote:
Today I have finished the combined Ogg GUI for player/decoder/encoder. With this
you can set up nearly everything in the programs you want to. Among other
things the conversion of .ogg files to .wav files, encoding of AIFF,
AIFF/c and WAV to Ogg files. You can enter additional information about the
song in the Ogg file, too, like date, genre, track number, name of the song,
artist, comment and serial number. Besides, you can set the audio quality of the
Ogg file from 0 to 10.
This GUI can be obtained directly from me via email. The GUI has to be
installed in the same directory where the Ogg player and Ogg encoder are
placed. In addition you need a CLI program called "requeststring". But this is
included in the archive I send as it is freeware, too.

Darius Brewka has published the new version 0.63 of AmiStart. AmiStart is a Windows like start menu with quick-launchbar, drag&drop-support and a flexible graphical surface but also allows the transparency, rounded edges, background-textures and much more. In the new version AmiStart offers also the so called shape-layer which are flexible and programmable skins for controlling external applications like ARexx. The shape-layer of Songplayer is an example.
Besides this a new website of AmiStart has gone online which is hosted by GFX-BASE. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Most of the participants of a former opinion poll of Grasshopper LLC concerning the future of the DTP-program PageStream voted for a port to Amiga OS 4, MacOS X and Linux x86. Deron Kazmeier thinks that a port to AmigaOS 4 is practicable when the system will be available on market. A special adaption to Amithlon is also possible.

We're Being Watched - Scientific Paper on the Computer Scene!
This has to do with an English language 23 page scientific document from George Borzyskowsky of Perth University, a document which is concerned with the subjects of `The Hacker Scene' and associated cultural art forms. The PDF (title link) is an interesting read and offers food for thought, that here a person standing entirely outside the computer scene tries to analyze it. For his research the scientist used old Aminet CDs and editions of Amiga demo scene diskmags, such as RAW and Grapevine.

Merlancia Clarifies Question on Legal Status
Once again it seems we are left to clarify a normally easy to understand
issue that really is not important to those outside the company/corporate
staff.
The short scoop: Merlancia is still alive and well, despite wishes of
those who would plot for our demise out of spite and malice...
Plesse read this Merlancia Press Release
on this matter for further details.
Editor's remark:
The reason for this statement is probably the link discussed on
ANN, according to which the company Merlancia has been dissolved. (ps)

Niels Bache from Denmark writes:
Over the last 4 years, I have visited a number of European Amiga shows.
The pictures that I've taken at those shows have until now been stowed
away in a dark and largely unknown corner of cyberspace, where only
relatively few people have actually seen them.
They are now accessible on my new site dedicated to the purpose:
http://nbache.frip.dk/.
So far, pictures from the last four Cologne shows have been put online.
Given time and space, I plan to add some more in the future. Check out

WWW browser: Path-Amiga V0.6
Alexander Weber is currently programming a new WWW browser for Amiga systems.
He writes on his web site:
"Path-Amiga is my attempt to write a web browser. It isn't very usable yet, but
that will hopefully change soon.
I started with this project somewhen in the second half of 2001, because I
wanted to learn to write AmigaOS programs with multiple threads. After I had a
program that could open and close some windows, I thought I could perhaps make
a web browser out of this, just as a challenge. And the result is this."
The browser runs from AmigaOS V3.5.

Music: Tim Wright on the Web (Psygnosis' domestic composer)
Ein Liker writes:
it is not news in the original sense, still I regard the link interesting enough :)
Tim Wright, the famous domestic composer of Psygnosis, former Amiga games forge
with titles the likes of 'Shadow of the Beast', who are now an inhouse team at
Sony, has for some time now had his personal domicil under
www.coldstorage.org.uk.
There you can find, besides 9 MP3s (a.o.t. two revamped songs from Wipeout,
which btw were created using Bars&Pipes on an Amiga), also the two original
tunes from the graphics classic 'AGONY', which in this form never managed it
into the game, incl. interesting background stories. Additionally there are
also the original modules from 'Shadow of the Beast II' and 'SotB III' (the
music from 'Shadow of the Beast I' was done by Richard Joseph).
And finally you may contact Tim Wright directly, via eMail and forum, and maybe
motivate him to produce further mixes of his old Amiga songs. (sd) (Translation: cb)

AROS: Boot menu, font prefs for Zune
AROS have been mentioned in a news item
at OSNews.
Sebastian Heutling implemented an intuition-based boot menu on AROS/x86
native. You can now choose to boot with or without executing the
startup-sequence. The plans for this menu also include enabling HIDD
switching at boot time.
Georg Steger fixed some text formatting bugs in graphics.library. He also
renamed con-handler to con.handler to be consistent, and implemented
eac_MatchString/MatchFunc in ExAll (DOS). He added an assign HOME: in
AROS/linux to point to the current user's home directory.
Adam Chodorowski started porting the Font Prefs to Zune.
