Textviewer: EvenMore version 0.60 from June the 11th 2002
The freeware textviewer 'EvenMore' from Chris Perver is ready for download in version 0.60.
Changes since version 0.60 from June the 5th 2002 (Chris Perver changes the version number only with major updates):
- Created a very basic work in progress IXML plugin (See Ix-Guide, www.fortunecity.com/skyscraper/hudson/187.
- Amended EvenMore's escape code interpreter. Not sure if these codes are in use already, if they are, someone let me know. I have 2 new codes, *e[50;0;0;0m and *e[51;0;0;0m. Both take 3 arguments after them to allocate a pen for text (R,G,B). 50 changes the Pen colour, and 51 will change the background colour, thus giving you multicoloured text.
- Rewrote RTF plugin from the ground up with full colour support.

Hardware: Serial ATA (SATA) - The new port for hard drives
On the website of Acard, the manufacturer of the IDE-to-SCSI adaptor, you can see that these people are still busy and have released new adaptors. Now they support transfer rates up to 160 MB/sec (LVD-SCSI).
The new port is one of the climaxes of the Computex. More and more manufacturers of mainboards, controllers, and hard drives have products with the successor of IDE and E-IDE (up to UDMA-133) in the program. Serial ATA should replace the parallel ATA complete until February 2003.

opportunity to test DA III under Amithlon on a Pentium 4 (1.6GHz) and GeForce 3 equipped PC. An animation of the star chart at a resolution of
1024x768 and a colour depth of 16bit resulted in a frame rate of ca. 10 fps. This
is about ten times as fast as on the development machine (PPC604e/200 and

ELSA: new founded devolo AG produces new edition of industry modem Microlink 56k
The on 2002, 1st May in Aachen founded
devolo AG brings a new edition of the
successfull industry modem Microlink 56k i to the market. So the good ELSA
quality doesn't go completely lost.
The team of the devolo AG consists of 25 former workers of the ELSA AG who bring
each up to 18 years of experience in data communication into the company. The
ELSA AG was founded in 1980 as spin off of the RWTH Aachen. As pioneer of the
data communication ELSA brought in 1988 the first by the Deutsche Post accepted
modem to the market. For more than 20 years could ELSA establish themselves as
leading provider in the area of the data communication and the computer
graphics. Dramatic market changes prevented lasting synergies between the different
business fields, though. Heiko Harbers, former vice president consumer products
at ELSA and now founder and chairman of devolo, draws the obvious conclusion out
of this: a clear focussing on the business field data communication and a clear
tightening of the portfolio by concentrating on profitable succeeding products
is the devolo motto.

also the German one. A new Image.res that enhances Amiblitz with further

Collecting data for the FastFileSystem V46
Mario Cattaneo writes:
Olaf Barthel developes the new FFS (FastFileSystem) of AmigaOS 4. Doing that in an as optimal as possible way he needs data. Data about the conditions of as many as possible Amiga partitions. Thus he is able to collect them he has written a little program which determines the file sizes.
So these data may become representative if the program will be distributed as much as possible. Because of that I decided to put this program on my homepage for download. Please directly send the data to Olaf (please read the documentation before!).
The last possible data for sending in it is the 16th June 2002. Please do not send any reports after this day. This day is the deadline and then all reports which I have got up to this date will be analysed. Please join numerously...
Thanks a lot in anticipation, Mario.
PS: For all those who doubt that this program is "clean" I added the source code to the program. So you can see what it makes.

Who Will Port BMP2WBMP?
Thorsten Schölzel writes: "While browsing the Workshop in AMIGAPlus about the display of WAP-pages I came across the conversion program "BMP2WBMP," which is a program that allows BMP images to be quickly and easily displayed as WBMPs, and thereby embedded in a WAP-page."

A.D.A. - Demo Archive with Commenting and Voting
From today on, new programs have been integrated into ADA. All visitors can vote on each demo and write a comment. Through these new functions it will be possible in a short time to tell which demos are most loved and the best, and other users will be tipped off which ones they should download.
The comment function can be found under the screenshots in every demo. For the voting you must register (username and password). In the future we'll make the user data editable, so if a user would like to express more about his interests (email address, homepage, system specs) he can do that.
Since a week ago, ADA has also been available at amigademos.de.

Nostalgia: The Legacy - Museum Again Online
The Legacy, the nostalgia museum, is reachable again. As
reported there was always some problem with the provider. MishRa says: "The abstinence is over! The old museum keeper mishRa hobbles - on account of his troublesome knees - to the entrance and throws the doors w i d e open. At the same time he barricades them open, so that they won't easily be shut again."

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site
Emanuel Mair writes:
AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online!
Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the
AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition.
I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear
up some of the confusion surrounding these issues.
If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help
spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to
save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!
In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the
PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so
far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would
ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that
it didn't look too good...
