Sequencer: BarsnPipes Version 1.13
On the homepage of Alfred Faust (title link) there is the improved
version 1.13 of the sequencer program BarsnPipes.
The source code of BarsnPipes has been released on 25th of May 2001
by Todor Fay. Since Alfred Faust has continued developing this program
it became freeware.
These are the improvements:
- Screenmode requester
- GadTools-gui
- You can use most of the requester with the help of the keyboard.
- CAMD-library
- New 32-colour-design
- Localisation (German catalog included)
- and much more
Please read BnP_Addenum.guide if you want to have a closer look at
the changes.
Since version 1.10 this program is also useable for users of Amithlon
(earlier this did not worked because of the "old" screen pop-up).
Download: BnP1_13.lha

Workshop: New power supply for the Amiga 4000T
Some day there will be the time in the life of an Amiga when the power of
the original power supply is not enough or it is too old for the job.
New, more powerful power supplies for the Amiga are not available. But
this is not as worse because for PCs are enough good and powerful ones
available you can use with some slight modifications with your Amiga.

Digibooster Professional stands before further development, if...
Unfortunately it was a long time ago, that there was a new
DigiboosterPro version. In the meantime the Community is again
in contact with the programmers.
In order to be able to give an overview of the current user number to
the developers of DigiboosterPro, we started an inquiry. This inquiry
is extremely important for the future of Digibooster Professional!
Please participate, and contribute you also to the fact that the
development continues!
Update:
Due to the fact that some users had questions about DBPro, here some
hints:
- Digibooster Professional is one of the best tracker programs for Amiga.
- DBPro and an additional AddOn-CD can be purchased from ACP&TCP.
ACP&TCP is the wordwide distributor.
- For any question about DBPro please contact the Community in our own forum.

author. A good thing is also that the program is in continuous development by
the programmer Matthias Gietzelt and a version for MorphOS is already planned,
too. That's enough reason to get to know the person behind "Emperor" better and
ask for an interview. The interview was done by Anton Preinsack and can be found

On the Amithlon site (title link) of Bernie Meyer can the following message be
read:
New on 18th of May 2002: The second collection of new and enhanced patches is now
here available. Please ensure that you have read the (unfortunately only
in English available) README.
Download: amithlon_contrib2.lha
With these patches should the problems with Pentium4 systems and VESA
framebuffer drivers as well as crashes of PGP 2.6.3 be fixed.
Besides that, there's an experimental patch for ZIP and LS-120 drives.
According to Bernd Meyer (Amithlon ml) should you install at least the patch for
PGP (patch2_vec.o) as it may also fix other problems. The other patches are only
thought for those having the particular problem.
Especially the ZIP patch is only for ZIP users. (quoting Bernd: "The things it
does are *not* nice.")

Tales of Tamar has been ported to gcc. Unfortunately not everything works fine as it should after it has been started to optimate. Each help is welcome!
Besides this we are still always looking for somebody who wants to create cool Amiga moduls for ToT (Digibooster or Soundtracker-format). These moduls are not a must but they are a funny extra (besides the main soundtrack).

Tool: FSwatcher version 1.3
There is a major update for FSwatcher which contains many new features and one bug fix. FSwatcher is the name of FileSizeWatcher and therefore looks for the size of a file. For instance if you download a file with a program which has not a transfer window FSwatcher shows you how many bytes have been already transfered. You can use this program also with the file-sharing program Audiogalaxy Satellite.
Download: FSwatcher.lzx

Amiga Club Guide Updated
To offer users the possibility of finding Amiga clubs in their area, Matthias Muench has established the Amiga Club Guide. Active clubs, societies and user groups in Germany are sorted geographically.
The Club Guide has been brought to an up-to-date state and refined somewhat. The IRC lists were removed, because there was not too much interest in that. At this time there are 36 clubs with 847 members registered in the guide.
Through this form
you can enter your own Amiga club, society, or user group.

Workshop to Photo CD Making Opened
The making of a CD32-bootable photo CD was possible until now only with many special conditions. The program CD32Show has addressed this deficiency and now you can build a collection of your most beautiful pictures with only a few steps.
To make this easy you'll find a workshop specially covering the topic at the CD-32 Allianz homepage, a workshop that leads you through the steps to make such a bootable photo CD: the LISTFILES, the startup-sequence, as well as how to burn the recordable CD-ROM.
This workshop should also be interesting to non-CD-32 Amigans who want to use the program "AutoRunNG" to run such a CD on normal Amigas. We wish you all good success in the making of your personal photo CDs!

Astronomy: New from Digital Almanac
Achim Stegemann writes:
Because of many inquiries about an OS4 version of Digital Almanac (DA IV) I brought the FAQ-page up to date. There I answer the most common questions about Digital Almanac and OS4.
From the 7th to the 9th of June 2002 all interested/nosy people are welcome to find out about the program at the computer party of Amiga-Friends of Pfalz
in Mutterstadt near Ludwigshafen from the author personally. On request there will also be presentations, so interested people will be able to get an insight into the actual state of development of the current beta version.
