TV Tip: Topic "retro" on 3sat
The current edition of the 3sat magazine "neues" addresses the retro trend and, in this connection, goes into emulators as well: "Computer systems of today and their applications are highly complex. [...] What was nice there, when you only had to turn on the legendary Commodore 64 breadboxes, Atari and Amiga computers, and they worked reliably."

The program will be rerun on Monday on 3sat (7:00 and 9:45 o'clock) as well as on Tuesday on ZDF (1:50 o'clock). (snx) (Translation: cad)

The archive contains a fully playable version, just the movie sequences from the commercial full version are not included.

AmigaOS 4: Gimp 2.2.13 Alpha for Cygnix
Edgar Schwan has published another alpha version of the picture editing software Gimp for his X11-enviroment Cygnix.

A publication of another unfinished alpha version was not planned but Schwan decided to do it because there were several requests to a new Gimp port.

The Gimp-plugins still does not work in this version. Therefore Gimp can only load graphics in XCF format. (cg) (Translation: dr)
