Keyboard Driver: MMKeyboard 3.20
Guido Mersmann has released an update to his keyboard driver MMKeyboard for AmigaOS 4, MorphOS and Amithlon. Besides error corrections in both the program and the documentation, the fourth and fifth mouse buttons can now be used under AmigaOS 4.

MMKeyboard allows the use of all multimedia buttons of the system. For this purpose, it offers, besides the conventional execution types, macros as well, which allow, for example, scrolling of windows, browsing through screens and windows, or ejection of media, too. Of course, in addition to the multimedia buttons, the normal keys of the system can be assigned to functions as well, similar to FKey.

Should you enjoy the program, the author asks to consider a small donation. (snx) (Translation: cad)

Boardgame port: Africa 1.0
Africa is a new conversion of the 1977 3W boardgame "Africa" for up to 5 human or computer controlled players. The SAS/C and StormC source code is included.

In this game each player takes the role of one of the powers attempting to establish or maintain a sphere of influence in the southern half of the African continent. By interfering in the economic stability and political alliance of nations, and by subsidising them, the players attempt to extend their political control of Africa, while diminishing the control of their opponents.

There is the opportunity to set up governments in favour of the players, encourage revolutions, start wars between the African nations and even introduce armies of the player-powers into the continent.

Africa requires AmigaOS 3.0+, AGA/RTG and 640x512 or a better screen resolution.

MorphOS: SimpleView 1.6 (update)
Tom 'Amigaharry' Duin released his MorphOS image viewer SimpleView in version 1.6 under the title link. SimpleView is completely written in PowerPC assembler code.

New in version 1.6 is a completely rewritten image display routine and an own fast 8bit image pen colour conversion routine.

Update: (20:14, 20.05.06, snx)
With SimpleView 1.6b there's a bugfix version available. As the routine meant for 8bit pictures was executed with 24bit images slowdowns could take place or even a system freeze. (snx) (Translation: wk)
