SN Coin Archive II und SN Stamp Archive II V0.95 Appear
New versions of SN Coin Archive and SN Stamp Archive II are available by clicking on the title link.
There are a few entry fields that have been added for the sub-entries to the master-entries of both different databanks, as in the example of a picture or the providing of a coin or stamp type (single coins, KMS, correspondingly single stamp, block, and so on). To this end all statistics may now be limited for any number of classification areas. HTML support has been added too (not documented yet).
Sample of SN Coin Archive:
KMS 1976, List with pictures (incomplete)
A list of worldwide coins
An accounting of the changes may be found at History.

The Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP) allows network access to applications run on a Windows terminal server.
At the client workstation the application (screenshot of the OS 4 version) is only projected in a window.
The current version will be the last update for AmigaOS 3 for now, because all planned features are implemented now.
If you like to support the development of a "Remote Desktop Server" please contact the author.

PDF magazine: First issue of the BBoAH magazine
The team of the German mirror of the "Big Book of Amiga Hardware" (BBoAH) is pleased to announce the availability of the first issue of the BBoAH magazine (German) for download.
There are several interviews with committed users, reports regarding Amiga hardware and a review of an Amiga classic game. Further on there is a report covering some "extreme modding" in Italy.
The BBoAH magazine is planned to issue twice a year. The first issue was delayed to ensure it is viewable with every Amiga and APDF.

Software News Summary: WookieChat, SystemPatch, Urltext.mcc (Update)
WookieChat 1.5
The IRC-Client WookieChat 1.5 is now available for Amiga 68k and AmigaOS4 (screenshot). The current version mainly cleaned up bugs.
SystemPatch 2.93
SystemPatch changes various OS routines in order to improve the performance of systems with newer 68k processors. Most of these were implemented for 060 systems, but it's useable on all Amigas with at least a 68020.
Urltext.mcc 19.7
Alfonso Ranieri has released an update of the MUI class Urltext.mcc bringing it to version 19.7. This serves to illuminate the dsiplay of URLs.
Download:
WookieChat1.5.lha (408 KB)
SystemPatch2.lha (40 KB)
MCC_Urltext.lha (34 KB)
Update: (11:42, 02.03.05, snx)
In the meantime WookieChat has appeared at version 1.5.1. With this release, only the separate timer task has been removed, because this consumed 99 % of the processor time under MorphOS. In lieu thereof, timer.device is now used.

Linux-PPC: Floppy patch 1.0
Pavel Fedin aka Sonic released Floppy driver patch for Linux 2.6.8 kernel. This patch allows to use a floppy drive in non-DMA mode on PegasosPPC machines. To use it:
- Do not build floppy driver as a module, link it statically. Transferring parameters to it from insmod is still problematic, at least it doesn't work properly on the author's system.
- Specify floppy=nodma in kernel's arguments. Also you'll need to specify your drive type here using floppy=[Drive number],[Drive type],cmos. For example, floppy=0,4,cmos specifies type 4 (1.44 mb 3.5") for drive 0.
This patch does not affect operation of the driver in DMA mode so it's safe to use on any platform.

Aminet back online, volunteers needed
To compensate the breakdown of us.aminet.net, a new Aminet main server has been established which can be reached at
www.aminet.net or main.aminet.net. Aminet now uses a completely
new web interface written by Nicolas Mendoza, originally implemented for amirepo.net. As most of the internal
scripts as well as the new web interface had to be adapted or have been rewritten from scratch, there still might be some rough edges, smaller
bugs or dead links left - but Aminet is working again and uploads are getting processed.

IRC-Client: WookieChat 1.4 (Beta)
WookieChat is a MUI-based IRC-client for AmigaOS 3/4
(screenshot).
In version 1.4 "DCC GET" as well as the support for colourful texts have been added.
According to the author the colour support does not still work perfectly: Iconifying
or starting the MUI-Prefs may cause colour bugs if the program uses a seperate screen.
This can be undone by entering "/a".
The 68k-version becomes instable after some server connections because the
string which contains the nickname is overwritten in the memory. The author is grateful
for some feedback.

Airsoft Softwair: Malibu Video Released
For everybody who doesn't have Malibu yet, but is interested in how it looks when a Scala presentation is loaded from the Workbench, there's now a presentation video on Airsoft Softwair's homepage (title link) in which diverse presentations are run with Hollywood 1.9 and Malibu 1.1.
Please pay attention to the fact that Malibu requires at least version 1.9 of Hollywood. It can't run without Hollywood because it's just a plugin that relies on Hollywood's Multimedia Application Layer. Malibu, Hollywood, and Hollywood Designer are available in native versions for 68k, MorphOS and WarpUP.

Nexus Development: Alternative audio.device for MorphOS
Emanuele Cesaroni of Nexus Development has released an alternative audio.device for MorphOS that channels calls to the original Amiga audio.device aimed at the custom chip Paula to the RTA layer of AHI. However software that directly targets the Amiga hardware instead of making use of the OS also doesn't run with eaudio.device.
The device was put together through reverse-engineering. The author asks that you carefully read the explanation text for eaudio.device.

Meridian 2.12 Released for AmigaOS 3.x and MorphOS
Guido Mersmann released version 2.12 of Meridian, a commodity that allows programs to be called in the manner of a PDA using handwriting recognition as virtual hotkeys. The startpoint and direction of mouse movement play a role and allow the use of countless combinations that may be freely used.
With Meridian you can leaf through screens and windows, close windows, close requesters, and start programs and actions with just a movement of the mouse. This all occurs without a visible interface, pop-up menu, or dock. Only the pointer appears on the screen.
This version contains some new features and minor improvements, among them a workaround for the "drifting directory" problem that was solved by fixing a bug in the input.device for MorphOS.
Features:
- Commodity
- Online help
- Locale Support

Instructions: Using DrawStudio on the Pegasos
Carsten Siegner describes as follows how one may get DrawStudio to run on the Pegasos. He writes:
"First you should get the archive from my webpage: Drawst.lha. It contains a monitor driver named "PAL." That's a PAL emulation for CyberGraphX. Further there's a prefs file for Drawstudio. Copy this to the DrawStudio directory.
After that DrawStudio starts fine with a normal screen-mode picture. The only thing still missing is SmartWin from Aminet. This gets past a small bug in DrawStudio. SmartWin must be copied to the startup directory. After a reboot, the Pegasos user may use DrawStudio totally normally."

Position Taken on MUI Version 4 for MorphOS
Under the title link you'll find that MUI's developer Stefan Stuntz has articulated his viewpoint of the situation between his user interface and the MorphOS operating system.
In this communication Ralph Schmidt's statement (amiga-news.de reported) is confirmed, that there was an offer to make the new and future versions of MUI available to Genesi at no charge and also to offer them in shareware form to users of AmigaOS 3.X and OS4.
Further, MUI V4 is nearly completed and there is nothing legally binding that prohibits uniform versions being released for all three of the cited operating systems.
