As one of the last 22 employers of Commodore in West Chester, he reported
at that time about the actual situation and the undesirable development
which was responsible for the decline of the computer-manufactor and beside
about the "Deathbed Vigil"-Video which was filmed several days before
by him.

AmigaOne: Centralized order for onboard soundchips
The AC97 soundchip (Sigmatel STAC9752T) installed on the first few batches of AmigaOne motherboards has been removed in later production runs as it seemed that it wouldn't work anyway due to a hardware bug.

APC&TCP takes distribution of CygnusEd
APC&TCP is proud to announce that it has taken the distribution of the well known text editor CygnusEd.
CygnusEd will be able to run on the classic Amiga and AmigaOS 4. A version supporting MorphOS is planned.
In only a few weeks the program will be available.
The support homepage for CygnusED will be online in a few days aswell.
About CygnusEd Professional Release 5
The maybe most famous text editor for developers was developed by Bruce Dawson, Colin Fox & Steve LaRocque (CygnusSoft Software) 20 years ago and was originally published by themselves. Already at that time CygnusEd has been known for its speed and solidness. CygnusEd has been developed even further in the following years and was one of the first programs with an ARexx interface and the first Amiga text editor with Undo/Redo functions. Many Amiga developers grew up with CygnusEd and a lot of software for the Amiga was developed using CygnusEd.
The last version 4 of CygnusEd was published in 1997 and was a fully reworked version adapted to AmigaOS 3.1.
The new version 5 of CygnusEd has been enriched with new functions and it is even faster and more solid. The helping tool "Ed" has been rewritten completely from scratch and is supplied with CygnusEd including the complete sources. Many old restrictions and flaws of CygnusEd have been eliminated. Version 5 is also the first version ported completely with all helping tools to the PowerPC processors and one of the first completely adapted commercial products for AmigaOS 4.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
Welcome to spring! Well, it's spring here in the northern half of the
world anyway once March comes. And appropriately enough, there are
lots of interesting Amiga things popping up and growing. OK, that's
probably a stretch as analogies go but it is true we have many things
of interest for you in this issue.
You also might want to check out this site:
http://www.dietmar-eilert.net/golded/files.htm
The 2002 version of the great GoldED Studio AIX (SP2) is now
available free at the author's site. Note that this is not freely
distributable software but you may download and use it for no fee.
There's no story below as there was no annoucement of this to the
press, but you should find all the information you need at the site or
in the archive.
So please enjoy the newsletter, enjoy the new and updated software
that's come along but, if you live in our half of the world, make sure
you take some time to enjoy the spring as well. Hmmmm. Now's when an
Amiga laptop would come in really handy.
Brad Webb,
Editor

Dear Sir / Madam,
I am a Professor in Engineering College in Pune.
I have purchase AMIGA 2000 MODEL IN 1990 which were having some*

knowledge it is known as MANDALA.
Please inform me if it is available as i require for PROJECT WORK, i
am ready to buy it.
So, Please inform as soon as possible.
Can you tell me when Amiga sold a *first AMIGA computer with Mandala
Software.*
Waiting for your reply it's urgent.

Thanks & Regards

You are asking for what is among the most rare of Amiga software
unfortunately. I performed a quick search and was unable to find
anyone with Mandala software, or a Live! board, for sale (I don't know
if you need the Live! board but they are used together).
If any of our readers has information about a copy of Mandala which
Professor Joshi could purchase, please send it to us in reply to this
mailing and we will pass the information along quickly. Information
about a Live! board might be appreciated as well.
Thanks!

After one month of development Think Commodore is finally online.
What is "Think Commodore"?
Think Commodore is a website about emulating old Commodore computers
such as the C64 and the Amiga on your Macintosh. The website also
covers subjects such as C64 or Amiga games, demos, music, how to copy
iles from your Mac back to your trusty old Commodore etc.
I switched from the WinTel world to the Macintosh approx. one and a
half years ago. I soon came to realize that while there are tons of
websites covering Commodore emulation, SID music, Protracker modules,
games, demos etc., information about Commodore emulation on the Mac is
very scarce. Many websites about Commodore emulation on the Mac are
old and obsolete, they aren't updated regularly and some websites/
teams completely ignore the Mac even though some nifty programmer has
done a Mac port of that particular software or project.
That's the reason why I started "Think Commodore".
Hopefully you'll find this site useful and check back here regularly.
Feel free to drop me an email if you have suggestions on how to i
mprove the site.
Cheers,
Søren Ladegaard - Denmark
...oh, in case you were wondering "Think Commodore" is a homage to the
classic Apple slogan "Think different". But you already knew that,
didn't you? ;-)

MUIbase (Magic data BASE with User Interface) is a relational
programmable database with user interface.
Begining in March, 2006, MUIbase for Amiga and Amiga-related operating
systems is now distributed under the Gnu General Public License. The
source code and binaries for m68kAmigaOS are made available as part of
a sourceforge project. We hope that developers for the new AmigaOS 4,
the MorphOS and AROS will also compile versions for these operating
systems.
At this point, we would like to thank all who supported us in the past
and all who registered MUIbase. From the new version 2.0 on, no
keyfile for running all features of MUIbase on Amiga is necessary any
more.
We still hope for support from the Amiga community. Please write us
your comment. It will also be possible to make us a donation if you
feel you want to financially support us.
Happy MUIbase'ing,
Steffen Gutmann

for immediate use. Moreover, it contains an exciting surprise for the
whole Amiga community, see the features or screenshots!"
AmiKit now supports antialiased TrueType fonts!
Loading speed of icons has been increased!
Quality of icon rendering has been increased!
WinUAE emulation software updated to version 1.2.0
AmiKit now contains the largest collection of AmigaOS3.9 patches.
DESCRIPTION OF NEW SOFTWARE IN THIS UPDATE:
AfA_OS 3.93 by Bernd Roesch
"AROS For Amiga" project ports the AROS sources and make them
available for classic AmigaOS. Since AROS is more up-to-date, it
provides a lot of new features and system bugfixes for AmiKit! For
example, AfA_OS is responsible for icon loading speedup, enchanced
icon rendering, TrueType font support etc.
AmiStart 0.66b (exclusive AmiKit version) by Darius Brewka
This great taskbar software has been updated for AmiKit. It works in
detached mode now so it does not steal the active state from other
tasks and windows anymore!
AISS 2.2 by Martin 'Mason' Merz
"Amiga Image Storage System" is a system to store, access and maintain
toolbar images under AmigaOS.
AmiSSL 3.6 by Andrija Antonijevic and Stefan Burstroem
AmiSSL is a shared library package, port of OpenSSL which is "a
collaborative effort to develop a robust, commercial-grade, full-
featured, and Open Source toolkit implementing the Secure Sockets
Layer (SSL v2/v3) and Transport Layer Security (TLS v1) protocols as
well as a full-strength general purpose cryptography library".
Ken Lester has painted fresh new toolbar images for DOpus5! These
images are used as default now. Your old toolbar is stored as
"DOpus5:Buttons/toolbar_104bak". Rename it to "DOpus5:Buttons/toolbar"
to have it back.
Meridian 2.20 by Guido Mersmann
You all know PDAs where you can draw lines with a pen on the display
and the PDA converts these combinations into characters or functions.
Meridian does exactly this! Meridian is a small commodity to create
virtual hotkeys by using the mouse. You paint a square and Meridian
starts the requested action. Since the starting point and the
direction is also important, there are countless combinations you can
use. Eg. hold down the middle mouse button and move your mouse to
upper-right direction and watch the result!
MUIbase 2.0 by Steffen Gutmann
MUIbase is a fast and very flexible database for the Amiga. It is for
users who want to manage data in a comfortable and easy way. MUIbase
is able to manage any kind of data, e.g. addresses, CD series, movies,
or your income and expense. The power of MUIbase lies in its clear and
powerful graphical user interface and its programming capabilities.
The latter makes it possible to automatically calculate and maintain
nearly everything, starting from automatically summing up values, e.g.
for calculating the total amount of income or the total amount of
recorded time of a CD, up to automatically creating and printing
letters for any purpose.
StormMesa libraries 3.1 by Haage&Partner Computer GmbH
These 3D libraries are almost completely OpenGL compatible and
provides 3D features to Amiga. Try a demo in AmiKit:Utilities/
Expansion/StormMesa/GLProgs drawer or find more on Aminet.
Sudoku 1.3 by Silicon Wizards
A popular game in a computer form. Special thanks to Michael Lanser!
AmiKit now contains the largest collection of unofficial patches for
AmigaOS3.9:
- Amigaguide.datatype 45.6
- Console.device 44.10
- FastFileSystem 45.14
- Icon.library 45.4
- MultiView 45.10
- RAM-Handler 44.23
- Rexxsyslib.library 44.2
- Shell 45.12
- Workbench.library 45.130
The installation of these patches is optional. Run "Install Patches"
to install them.

Epistula is to AmigaOS what GAIM is to Linux and Windows. For people
not in the know, GAIM is an instant messenger application which can
handle a variety of IM protocols, for example Microsoft MSN, AOL AIM
and Yahoo Messenger.
I know JabberWocky can provide a similar service, but that requires
extra setting up with Jabber ID's etc. This way, you can log straight
onto your favourite protocol, by-passing any need for yet another IM
account. One of the main reasons I started to write this client was
because I couldn't be bothered with Jabber... I can't be the only
one... can I?
Unlike GAIM, Epistula is written in a modular fashion in that each
'protocol' is a plugin which can be installed, and updated, seperately
from the main application and other plugins.
Epistula is initially only in development for AmigaOS 4, but hopefully
in not-to-distant future, will also be made available for MorphOS,
AmigaOS 3.1 and AROS.
People looking for individual 68k instant messengers available now
wouldn't be going far wrong looking at JabberWocky, AmiMSN and
AmigAIM.
Friday, 10th March 2006
I've spent quite a bit of time developing this last week, both
changing the website and updating the client and MSN plugin. Thanks to
everyone who sent in numerous crash logs and serial output, they've be
invaluable in tracking down various bugs.
I'd also like to point out that since Epistula is getting more and
more stable, that this will be the last update to the demo version.
All future features will only be available to registered users,
although plugin updates should also work with the demo.
The following changes have been made to Epistula and the MSN plugin:
* MSN plugin has now been updated to MSN Protocol 11
* Group names are now UTF-Decoded/Encoded in the MSN plugin before
being sent to Epistula
* Fixed the secure authentication which stopped quite a few people
logging into MSN. Those unable to login before, but could with GAIM or
the official client should find this allows them to login with
Epistula now
* MSN plugin now respects your initial presence as specified in
the plugin settings
* Plugin integration with Epistula has had a massive re-write
* Epistula will now check for the minimum required MUI custom
classes before launching
* General messages window fixed to display the correct message
when selected from the list
* Slight cosmetic changes
* Various memory leaks/bugs fixed

I have just uploaded an update to aPod, my iPod management program.
The new version allows to copy multiple songs across at once and to
sort the song listview by clicking on the various columns.
apod is an application to mantain and synchronise your mp3 collection
on your iPod using from a Amiga OS4 computer with usb.
apod is written in perl and utilises the perl_Reaction interface to
the OS4 reaction gui. The interface with the ipod is maintained using
the Mac::iPod::GNUpod module.
INSTALLATION:
NOTE: If installing for the first time, apod requires the following
perl modules to be installed, if updating you only need to copy the
apod and .apodrc files.
perl_Reaction version .02 available from (os4depot.net)
Mac::iPod::GNUpod (included)
Audio::Wav (included)
MP3::Info (included)
Unicode::String (incuded)
XML::Parser (included)
install any of these you don't yet have by CD ing into their
directory, starting abc-shell and typing
perl Makefile.PL LINKTYPE=DYNAMIC
make
make install
copy apod and .apodrc to the location of your choice say work:apod/
assign apod: to this directory.
edit the paths in .apodrc to reflect the name of your ipod etc.
PREPARING TOUR IPOD:
You may need to create the directory
<ipodname>:iPod_Control/.gnupod/
otherwise your ipod requires no special initialisation.
Your ipod still requires the apple firmware etc this pogram only
handles copying of music file to and from the ipod.
USAGE:
perl apod --help
to get usage
or
perldoc apod to get full pod documentation.
HISTORY:
1.1
Added Multiselect to Addsongs.
Song List can now be sorted by Columns
1.0
Initial Public Release
KNOWN BUGS:
The underlying mac::ipod::gnupod module appears to have some problems
with smartplaylists. If you get a problem with this email me, for a
workarround.
TODO:
Mac::iPod::GNUpod ofers some sophisticated search options and a
variation on smartplaylists based on these. adding support for these
will be done in the not too far distant future.
Send an Feature requests to me by email and I'll see what I can do...
DONATIONS:
This work has been largely been to done to fulfil my own needs and to
support the amigaos 4 community in general, but it does take a lot of
time so if you would like to make a donation there is a paypal button

Description: System monitor (MUI & TCP/IP stack optional)
Download: scout.lha
Version: 3.5
Date: 13 Mar 06
Author: Scout Open Source team
Submitter: Thore Böckelmann
Email: tboeckel/gmx de
Homepage: http://sourceforge.net/projects/scoutos/
Requirements: AmigaOS 4.0, MUI 3.8

Distribute: yes
FileID: 1713
This is the official continuation of the famous (and fabulous :-)
system monitor from Andreas Gelhausen.
What is Scout?
==============
Scout is a tool that allows you to monitor your computer system. It
displays many different things -- like tasks, ports, assigns,
expansion boards, resident commands, interrupts, etc. -- and you can
perform some certain actions on them.
For example you can freeze tasks, close windows and screens, release
semaphores or remove locks, ports and interrupts.
Through AmiTCP it's also possible to use Scout as a TCP/IP service.
Since version 2.0 of Scout you can use nearly all implemented
functions through shell parameters. Therefore it's not necessary to
install MUI for using Scout, but you will need MUI if you want to use
Scout with its graphical user interface.
BTW: Scout can open 49 different windows! :-)
PS: Along with V3.3 this number is even higher than 49, but I am too
lazy to count all the different windows :)
Changes from release 3.4 to release 3.5:
========================================
o This newly created archive also contains the latest NList classes,
which are also available at http://sourceforge.net/projects/nlist-
classes/.
o Too many changes to list them all. All in all there were almost
next to no functional changes, but lots of system specific additions.
The biggest change however is that Scout now comes in a native OS4
flavour :) That means we now have three different builds: OS2/3, OS4
and MorphOS. The OS3 build should run under both, OS4 and MorphOS, but
cannot really make any real advantage of the new system enhancements.
The OS4 and the MorphOS builds however will make use of system
specific enhancements as far as this is possible and gives any
advantage.
o all builds may list PCI boards in the expansion window. The OS4
build uses the PCI interface of expansion.library, while the MOS build
will use openpci.library to query all the details. OS3 support for
openpci.library will hopefully come in the next release, together with
a detail window for PCI boards.

Handles mouse wheel.
Better vertical proportionnal gadgets handler.
Bug on the Comments handler corrected (didn't work for ALL files)
New prefs button to desactivate bubble help.
String gadget path bug corrected (didn't work when the tab wasn't
active).
Installation :
If you are updating from a previous version, just copy the AmiDisk
executable in place of the old one.
I suggest you don't copy the prefs file if you want to keep your
old preferences. Use the import button to try the new classes.
New installation :
Just copy the AmiDisk drawer in the SYS:utilities drawer. Then
delete the files you don't need (catalogs, icons, guide, logo...)
You can keep only AmiDisk, AmiDisk.info and AmiDisk.prefs if you
want.
Perhaps, your old configuration will not be totaly readen, launching
AmiDisk version 1.04. The state of the double clic button is slowly
modified in the prefs file, so check it in the prefs menu, and save
the configuration. Il will work on next run.

Aminet: two additional mirrors online, further changes
In addition to de4.aminet.net the Aminet servers it.aminet.net and uk.aminet.net are now online again, further mirrors will follow soon. Whoever wants to run an official Aminet mirror on his own and has the corresponding resources at his disposal is cordially invited to contact the Aminet team.
Contrary to former times Aminet mirrors now only act as pure download servers. A web interface is only available at www.aminet.net, the other servers will simply forward to this address. The download links of the web interfaces point to a random download Mirror - alternatively you may select your preferred download server in the setup area.
All servers are of course still available via FTP, uploads, however, will only be accepted by the main.aminet.net server
After more than 10 years, the legendary PD series "Fish Disks" is available on Aminet again: You will find all of the 1000 discs aswell as an index in the directory misc/fish.
Files without suffix won't be accepted anymore, as this makes the internal scripts unnecessarily complicated. All existing files without suffix will be either renamed or put into an LhA archive.
