CLI2WB, easy CLI commandline launch from Workbench
CLI2WB, easy launch Shell (CLI) commandline from Workbench.
I've configurated CLI2WB for the realaudio 1/2/3 player RAplay.
So doubleclick on the icon, an ASL loadrequester appears to
select a realaudio to play. You can define the title, OK button
and pattern of the requester in CLI2WB's tooltypes, and more.
Also released Shrinky, a little utility to shrink the size of
a file to an exact desired size.

Textviewer: EvenMore version 0.60
The freeware textviewer 'EvenMore' is ready for download in version 0.60.
Changes since version 0.59:
- Created a basic RTF plugin.
- Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the
printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The
other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench
printer preferences instead.
- Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or
closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
- Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be
loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will
support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
- Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
- A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga,
along with a new Russian locale!

Audio: AHI - ahi.device 5.21 (Beta) (Update)
Martin Blom released version 5.21 (beta) of the ahi.device for ix86. The following changes were made.
- ahi.device: Re-enabled optimization and removed all 64 bit
kludges for the Amithlon version. It's still just using the C
version of the mixing routines, but is already about 2.5 times
faster native (compared to the JIT-compiled 4.180 version). I like
it.
- paula.audio: When opening timer.device (used in the DMA mode),
I didn't clear the flags parameter and opened UNIT_MICROHZ instead
of UNIT_ECLOCK. [Sigbjørn Skjæret]

AmigaOne: MPEG showing the AmigaOne booting TurboLinux
Elwood writes on ANN:
I uploaded on Aminet a video in Mpeg showing the AmigaOne booting
TurboLinux. This video is old (March 2002) and not professional in
any way (in fact, it never meant to be). I originally wanted to
upload it on my website instead of putting this huge file on Aminet
but my ISP didn't allow me this. So here it is, to make Aminet even
bigger!
Remember this AmigaOne is the prototype (G3/600Mhz) and it runs
TurboLinux. And I must confess, I never seen a Linux booting that fast.
I'm excited to get my hand on AmigaOS4.
Download: AmigaOne.mpg (80 MB)
Update 02.06.2002:
The video was deleted from this Aminet server. I do not know the motive.
Update II 02.06.2002:
Here you will find the explanation from Elwood.

Amiga Arena - Full version of "Samba Partie AGA/ECS" and redesign
With the approval of Jo Seitz (Sayonara Software), Amiga Arena
enabled the release of the full version of the football manager
"Samba Partie AGA/ECS".
This is the first part of the "Samba" series.
Besides lots of other features, the football manager also has an action part
where you can actively play with your team.
Amiga Arena has been allowed to release further games by "Sayonara Software"
in the future. Yet, for this we need your help, as we don't have all games
at our disposal!
We are looking for the following software items:
- Diego - Football manager
- WHLM - Ice Hockey manager
- Samba Partie prof. - Football manager with action part
- Travel-Manager - Travel simulation
- Hollywood Pictures - Manager
- Samba World Cup - Football manager with action part
Please contact: Olaf Köbnik.
Amiga Arena - "Full version" redesign
The Amiga Arena Full versions have been divided into new areas.
Besides the familiar download facilities for commercial software and
shareware programs, the areas have been restructured, and with
"Applaud Software", "Sayonara Software" and "Vulcan Software"
three new areas have been added.
Here you will be able to find - apart from the well-known games of the software houses - level codes, cheats, screenshots as well as reviews of the products.
Furthermore, we are looking for the game "DNA" by "Applaud Software"!
Have fun with our offerings! Amiga Arena.

Survey about Tukult, the Space-Rat adventure
A poll about the systems to be supported has been started on the new
homepage of Tukult, an adventure game in development about Space-Rat.
As the first drafts had been made on an Amiga, and the author
used to be an Amiga user then, in the case of an adequate turnout there
should be a very realistic chance of an Amiga port.

CCC: EU-parliament said yes to data retention
Despite of many protests the EU-parliament has agreed to loosen the data protection in the EU.
»The passed order "about the processing of personal data and the protection of the private sphere in the electronic communication" enables the memebership states to loosen the regulation of protection for data of connections to "carry out penal persecution and to save the national and public safety. Thus the way is free for the so called data retention.
Data retention means that the data of connections of the participant of the telecommunication are not only individually saved and kept after an official order but for all participants in advance and without a starting suspicion. Because of that the authorities can use also data which are far away in the past. Up to now the data of connections had to be deleted after 80 days after making the calculation.
Data protectors and people of the human rights warn before such a general data saving because thereby they say the fundamental rights for private sphere and freedom of opinion are endangered. Besides this such actions mean a turn away from the assumption of innocence because the data retention above all disadvantage the innocent poeple. Even the committee of the civil rights of the EU voted against it. The 16206 signers of a summons to the parliament refer to it.«

Amiga Arena: Interview with Felix Schwarz (IOSPIRIT)
After we have not heard much of the software publisher "Innovative" we
were surprised that on April the chief developer Felix Schwarz has come
back with his newly founded company "IOSPIRIT" and new software-products!
Should this be a first sign of a change at the weakened Amiga market?
In this interview Amiga Arena talks with Felix Schwarz about his reasons
to go on developing for the Amiga market, about his new software products
as well as further new developments.
Felix Schwarz explains how he has found a solution for himself to
simultaneously support AmigaOS, MorphOS and emulators and how he is
able to do something against not permitted copying.
I completely agree with Felix Schwarz when he says: "Negative signs, negative effect - postive thinking and good products, positive feedback. Let's tackle!"
Finally it is in the hands of the users if they want to set a sign by buying Amiga products and thus make further developments possible.

AmigaOS XL: Experiences with the H&P Big-Tower 1800+ (Update)
Dietmar Knoll writes:
In my report, I describe the experiences I have made with the Big-Tower.
Version 1.18 of the report finally contains the promised chapters, in which I more closely describe "AmigaXL" and "QNX". Furthermore, I included some links to the "Software" chapter and added the latest "Patches for Amithlon".
Note: The last update was released one month ago. Since the webserver of Compuserve is frozen since the beginning of May, I uploaded this update to Fortunecity, although this server is a bit problematic. In QNX-Voyager popups are generated, in Amiga-Voyager only ads are displayed instead of the images. Therefore, I recommend to use AWeb or Amiga-Voyager (with background images switched off).

Amiga MAS-Player 1.3f Update
A software update for the MAS-Player is now available.
MAS-Player is a hardware solution for playing MP3s on less-powerful Amigas.
The MAS-Player Software contains a seldom encountered but serious bug! It happened to me as I was being the DJ at a party. Once or twice an evening the Amiga would bump into a skipping loop for a couple minutes, then come out of it. The problem appears to have been solved :-).

VGR: Mediator support page updated (PatchInt)
The worlds oldest Mediator support pages
have been updated with PatchInt (and ResetInt) information.
Mr. Matthew Allatt
has released his PatchInt (and ResetInt) to the public.
He writes: "Dear sufferers of the SoundBlaster and FastEthernet lockup problem.
If you have been using ResetInt for the last couple of days to clear these problems,
then you may be getting fed up of having to run that program every time that error
happens. I have now written a version, called PatchInt, which you can put in the
user-startup. You need to run it with the line: "run <nil: >nil: PatchInt".
You can find information on PatchInt and all other Mediator programs on the
3rd Party Mediator Software Page.
If you see a program missing email the information here:
mediator@vgr.com.
