`22.Mar.2003` Rudolph Riedel (email)	FTPMount version 1.4 by Rudolph Riedel Rudolph Riedel wrote: As the Aminet unfortunately seems to be down, at least uploads aren't sorted anymore, I have uploaded right now a new version of FTPMount to my homepage. Download: FTPMount.lha A download link isn't available on the site but it should be direct accessable. Well, what has changed? This can of course be read in the "FTPMount.readme". The archive is very similar to the v1.31 by Martin R. Elsner on the Aminet, I had unpacked it and done my changes. The main thing is that I've done a new compile, made some changes, set the version to 1.4, added a 68040 version and the complete source code is now also included. In case that anybody has a bug report - just send it to me! (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 22. Mar. 2003, 12:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`22.Mar.2003` Olaf Köbnik (email)	Amiga Arena: Interview with Steffen Schiller (Fahrschule 99) A few days ago was the once low cost program "Fahrschule 99" released for free download by its developer Steffen Schiller. Other than the name is suggesting it's not an old program but "Fahrschule 99" offers to all those who are doing their theoretical driving licence or who just want to update their knowledge the up-to-date data for the classes B and A. Here it shows once again that the Amiga sector offers actual applications that are not only for free but also cover topics that are suitable for the daily use. the only drop of bitterness for todays Amiga users will be the fact that "Fahrschule 99" is made for an Amiga 500 and PAL screen mode. As especially this kind of normal use software is so important for the future of the new Amiga generation to cover a wide area of themes spoke Olaf Köbnik to Steffen Schiller about the future of "Fahrschule 99". The result is the 100th interview Olaf Köbnik (Amiga Arena) has done who already told us that the 101st interview with another interesting and actual company is in the works.

`22.Mar.2003` Lars Fuhrken-Batista (email)	Cinemaware statement As reported in the end of February here told clickBOOM in their S-File 22 that there are differences with Cinemaware. Today Cinemaware published the following statement: Statement from Cinemaware Hopefully you know who we are as Cinemaware, as we are well known for our past Amiga games. We are of course doing new titles as well as you can see on our web-site www.cinemaware.com. We have also started a series of "Digitally Remastered" titles with clickBoom for a while - but unfortunately that has gone badly. I was wondering if you could report the information below on your website. We understand that some of classic Amiga/Cinemaware fans have been concerned about certain news spread around by clickBoom, the Canadian developer which Cinemaware has employed to develop the "Digitally Remastered" series of games. At this point Cinemaware would just like to make a simple statement that clickBoom's allegations are false and misleading, and that we will issue an official statement in the future regarding this matter. In reference to this, Cinemaware would appreciate if anyone involved in the below cases come into contact with us as soon as possible, writing to cinemaware@cinemaware.com: http://www.mhd.mh.se/~rutgers/cb/clickboom.html http://www.amigagadget.de/39/f.int.juiceteam.html http://personal.inet.fi/koti/janne.karppanen/tekstit/quakeppc3d.txt As you can see history tends to repeat itself. In the meantime, we appreciate your support and understand your frustration at not being able to see more "Digital Remasters" coming out soon. We are working hard to resolve this situation. Please look out for exciting news regarding Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown soon! Sincerely, Lars Fuhrken-Batista Team Cinemaware (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 22.

The word processing software which originally comes from the Atari world (TOS) will be now offered for MacOS for the first time additionally to versions for OS/2 and Windows.

`20.Mar.2003` Sebastian Beloch (ANF)	Death of a German ScummVM Programmer Sebastian Beloch quotes the website of the software project ScummVM: Last Friday, March 14th, our fellow ScummVM developer and friend, Felix Jakschitsch (known to many under his nickname yot), committed suicide at the young age of 19. We are completely shocked by this, and do not know or understand what drove him into this. It is a sorrowful world in which a cheerful, intelligent and helpful man is put in a situation in which he sees no other way to escape than taking his own life. We are sad to lose our valued friend. He contributed important work to ScummVM, including much of the Zak256 support. His loss is felt deeply by all of us, and we extend our condolence to his family and close friends, whose grief we share. If you want to leave a message to his friends and family, there is a guestbook available. Also here is a news paper article telling more details (use babelfish if you don't speak German). Felix, we miss you and will never forget you. (nba) (Translation: dm) [News message: 20. Mar. 2003, 16:24] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
