Amiga Arena


Amiga Arena: Interview with Volker Grabbe
The lack of commercial software and the resulting gaps have been bridged well with freeware and shareware programs just for the applications section during recent years. But most Amiga users are missing an up-to-date browser and an office package which truely allows to exchange data with other platforms.

Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".

This interview is available in English, too.

Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate in this project, please contact Volker Grabbe for more information.

Olaf Köbnik: "Dear Amiga users, it would be nice if numerous developers would come to work on this project. The way users are fighting each other is incomprehensible to me. We all benefit from such projects and should account ourselves happy for still having enthusiasts in the Amiga section, who "sacrify" their spare time for us and the Amiga. Deliberately I did not mention any comparable product here, because this message mainly intends to call attention for OpenOffice!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

peer2peer Morpheus changing protocoll
The peer2peer file sharing system ´Morpheus´ is changing the file sharing protocoll. Since the start of Morpheus the FastTrackSystem was used, which had some security gaps. After the change Morpheus users could not log into the system, because the existing software was not compatible with the Morpheus client any more. Morpheus now is about to use the Gnutella protocoll.

If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).

There already is an unfinished Gnutella client called AmiGnut for the Amiga on Aminet. Sources are available in StormC format. (ps) (Translation: mj)

NARR-Site reactivated
Richard Kapp:
My personel website, known by many as NARR site, was not accessibel for several months. But meanwhile I've found another server.

I completely redesigned the site and added new sections, graphics, cartoons, backgrounds, and more. The Amiga download sections continues to exist with all of my programs like CoolCALC, PlayGUI, 3pmGUI, and many more for download. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Remedy Systems supporting AMIGA - AmiDynDNS Version 0.9
Costel Mincea is happy to announce that the Remedy Systems OHG will support the Amiga from now on. Remedy Systems is a quite young software and web design company and decided to develope software for the Amiga, too.

First there will be little but useful tools released. The DynDNS client ´AmiDynDNS´ was the first one and is available in version 0.9 at the download section. More sophisticated applications are scheduled.



DynDNS Client AmiDynDNS v0.9
AmiDynDNS is a command line based client or the DynDNS.org service. The new version fixes some bugs and implements many new functions.

  • Complete DynDNS support (DynDNS, StatDNS, CustomDNS, and all options).
  • SMC barricade router support (IP directly from DSL router).
  • New config file format (optional), to take all the new options.
  • Local IP addresses are scanned now.
  • Current hosts will not be updated again (prevents hosts from being locked by DynDNS).
Of course AmiDynDNS still offers the "old" functions like optional web based IP recognition or the optional log file. More information can be found under the title link or from the AmigaGuide coming with the archive.

Costel Mincea: "For the rest I would like to apologize to those, who wanted to use v0.82 and had to take some crashes due to my inattention. Sorry!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

Coyote Flux Presents - AuroraRadio
Coyote Flux is proud to announce "AuroraRadio", one of the first internet radio stations to broadcast Amiga Game and Demo modules in between its normal programming. On request a SID tune hour will be integrated in the evenings.

What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted. Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7 Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.

The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for "auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.

Kind Regards,
Coyote Flux (ps)

Audio: Overclocking Delfina Lite with DelfTweak
If you are seeking for more processing power for your Delfina Lite sound card and you are not confident of ripping some of the components off the board and replacing them with others, DelfTweak offers you an excellent alternative: it can overclock Delfina by software means and gain more than enough processing power to encode and listen to MP3 files.

Some features:

  • capable of changing Delfina Lite's internal clock speed
  • displays external and internal clock frequences and DSP frequency ratio
  • supports any external clock (crystal) frequence in addition to standard 4 MHz external clock
  • available frequency range with standard Delfina Lite: 4 MHz - 16.4 GHz!
