`17.Nov.2003` Marc Cloppenburg / AMIGAplus (ANF)	New Unix ports from Diego Casorran Once again, Diego Casorran (amiga.sourceforge.net) ported a collection of assorted Unix tools and utilities to AmigaOS: cURL v7.10.8 cURL is a client to get documents/files from or send documents to a server, using any of the supported protocols (HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, GOPHER, DICT, TELNET, LDAP or FILE). The command is designed to work without user interaction or any kind of interactivity. cURL offers a busload of useful tricks like proxy support, user authentication, ftp upload, HTTP post, SSL (https:) connections, cookies, file transfer resume and more. Direct download Wget v1.9.1 Wget is a free utility for non-interactive download of files from the Web. It supports HTTP, HTTPS, and FTP protocols, as well as retrieval through HTTP proxies. It can follow links in HTML pages and create local versions of remote Web sites, fully recreating the directory structure of the original site. This is sometimes referred to as "recursive downloading." While doing that, Wget respects the Robot Exclusion Standard (/robots.txt). Wget can be instructed to convert the links in downloaded HTML files to the local files for offline viewing. Direct download ngIRCd v0.7.5 ngIRCd is an Open-Source server for the Internet Relay Chat (IRC), ngIRCd means "next generation IRC daemon", it's written from scratch and not deduced from the "grandfather of IRC daemons", the daemon of the IRCNet. At present, the ngIRCd is under active development, some features are not implemented, some only partly. Till today (more or less complete) implemented IRC-commands: ADMIN, AWAY, CHANINFO, CONNECT, DIE, DISCONNECT, ERROR, HELP, INVITE, ISON, JOIN, KICK, KILL, LINKS, LIST, LUSERS, MODE, MOTD, NAMES, NICK, NJOIN, NOTICE, OPER, PART, PASS, PING, PONG, PRIVMSG, QUIT, REHASH, RESTART, SERVER, SQUIT, STATS, TIME, TOPIC, TRACE, USER, USERHOST, VERSION, WHO, WHOIS. Direct download dbacl v1.5 dbacl is a command line program which can be used to categorize several types of text documents. Each document category is constructed as a maximum entropy language model, with respect to a reference measure based on digrams (character pairs). Before recognition can take place, a number of text corpora must be "learned". For example, an English category could be based on a text file containing the collected works of Shakespeare. The Gutenberg project makes freely available many public domain works in electronic form. After learning, any number of text files can be compared, in terms of Bayesian posterior probabilities, with up to 128 learned categories. The actual number of categories is limited only by available memory. Direct download gifsicle v1.40 Gifsicle twaddles GIF image files in a variety of ways. It is better than many of the freely available GIF twaddlers on the market -- for one thing, it has more options. It supports merging several GIFs into a GIF animation; exploding an animation into its component frames; changing individual frames in an animation; turning interlacing on and off; adding transparency; adding delays, disposals, and looping to animations; adding or removing comments; flipping and rotation; optimizing animations for space; and changing images' colormaps, among other things. Extensive command-line options control which, if any, of these occur. Direct download (cg) (Translation: cg) [News message: 17.

`13.Nov.2003` Christian Effenberger (ANF)	CD Tools: More than 1000 ViCaDo Downloads since 7th November, 2003 After more than 1000 users downloaded the VideoCD software "ViCaDo" since 7th November 2003 (as amiga-news.de reported), the developer Christian Effenberger is hoping for a bit more feedback than he has received up until now. Of special interest is ViCaDo's performance on AmigaOS4 and MorphOS 1.4 (both under 68K emulation). For a general test of whether AV1 programs can run on the platform, try the tool GetImageInfo, in the download area. In the event the program doesn't run on your system, please list your computer specifications and configuration in the Forum. Requests, observations, and improvement suggestions are gladly accepted by Christian Effenberger, who is happy about any kind of feedback. (nba) (Translation: dm) [News message: 13.

`13.Nov.2003` MorphOS-News.de	ZoneXplorer: Version 1.2 Released The fractal generator ZoneXplorer by Elena Novaretti has reached version 1.2. The main thing is that JPEG support for saving images has been integrated (with the Navigator as well as the Renderer), a functionality advance for which the author extends thanks to Frank Wille, due to his support. System Requirements: PowerPC Version: - MorphOS (Pegasos or PowerUP) - ClassAct (Aminet) or ReAction (AmigaOS 3.5+) - Hi-/True-Color-Desktop (8-Bit not supported) 68k Version: - AmigaOS 3.5+ - Hi-/True-Color-Desktop on P96-/CGX-compatible graphic card (8bit not supported) - png.datatype The use of an emulator like Amithlon or UAE on a fast x86 computer is not strictly required for the 68k version, but is strongly recommended. ZoneXplorer V1.2 (3.5 MB) Update auf V1.2 (550 KB) (snx) (Translation: dm) [News message: 13. Nov. 2003, 12:14] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.Nov.2003` amiga.org (Webseite)	Amithlon: the Amithlon Kernel Project Because the development of the Amiga emulator Amithlon has ceased for a while, it's become considerably more difficult to get Amithlon to cooperate on modern PC hardware. On account of that Gary Colville decided to start the Amithlon Kernel Project. In doing this, Gary has taken advantage of a characteristic of the Amithlon product: Amithlon consists of two components - the actual emulator as well as a tailored Linux kernel, on which the emulator runs. While the former has commercial status and thus may not be modified by outsiders, the latter is under an open source license and may therefore may be expanded by a third party. Through this, support for modern chipsets and graphic cards is made possible. Because new hardware costs money, and Gary can really only focus on the hardware that he personally owns, he is calling (title link) for financial support from interested users. Which hardware he can purchase, and thereby support in Amithlon, depends on demand on the part of the users. The most needed support at this time seems to be for the "NForce 2" chipset, used in the products "GeForce FX", "VIA KT600" and "GeForce 4MX." (cg) (Translation: dm) [News message: 13.

`12.Nov.2003` amiga.org (Webseite)	Board game: New version of "Total Chaos" (Update) A new version of "Total Chaos", a fantasy board game for up to eight human or computer players, has been published. The changes are listed within the Readme. System requirements: CPU: 68020 (68040 for the intro sequence) 16 MB FastRAM AGA or gfx board 68 MB free space at the hd Direct download: TotalChaosAGA.lha (40 MB) Update (cg, 12.11.03, 14:18) Just after release the author has dicovered a bug: during the first launch of the game the still packed sound archive will be extracted. For this process the ixemul.library.is necessary. If this library is not installed the program aborts this routine without any comment. Nevertheless the game is useable but sound is missing then.
