One subject of the show will be the Pegasos Hardware Platform developed by bplan GmbH in conjunction with MorphOS.

During this period there won't be any news and translations, the commentary function and the ANF (possibility to post news online) will be disabled. The forum will be kept enabled. We will announce a talk master who will be responsible for its content.

We discussed this issue thoroughly and controversial if, and if so in which kind, we could/should realize such a summer break. A short break will not result in any recovery and a longer break comprises the risk to lose readers. A stopgap for urgend news seemed to be possible but difficult, who wants to be responsible to decide wether a news item is urgent or not? Further more this wouldn't be a real recovery, say nothing half, nothing whole. We trust in the hope that our readers will not have forgotten us after such a long break :).

However we will go back to work after the summer break with a whole new motivation. We ask for your understanding and therefore announce this break that early.

Among others, new features are a strongly enhanced and accelerated OCR-engine (based on gocr 0.3.5, now also PPC-native and with the ability to export embedded pictures and HTML), the all-new PDF-export, an enhanced copying function with preview and correction features, support for Turboprint® and an all-new documentation (in German and English) with many illustrations in HTML- and PDF-versions.

A detailed list of all new features, first screenshots, a list of supported scanners and much more can be found on the fxSCAN 4.0 site.

New features (since the last CVS snap, not 0.1.0!) include:

• first non-Scumm games supported: Simon the Sorcerer 1 & 2
• in addition to the games that could be completed before, Loom CD-ROM version, Zak McKracken 256 color and Simon 1 are fully playable now
• 32 color Amiga versions are supported
• choosable sound driver (Adlib, Midi, Midiemu)
• updated PDF manual (please read, because some command line options had to change!) including compatibility chart

Update 15.05.2002:
bplan: Pegasos and MorphOS on German TV (3Sat)
The bplan GmbH would like to inform you about the Computer Magazine taking place on the 27th of May at 9.30 pm.

neues - das Computer- und Telekommunikationsmagazin auf 3sat

One subject of the show will be the Pegasos Hardware Platform developed by bplan GmbH in conjunction with MorphOS.

Features:

• new dynAMIte Version
• all maps, all styles + exclusive new styles for the CD-release!!
• new "dynAMIteAI.library" for 68k and PPC (MorphOS)
• 3D-Intro-FMV-Sequence
• Audio-Tracks
• detailed HTML-documentation
• many Extras, Backdrops, early-Intro-tests, first test-versions of dynAMIte, and many more!!
• in contrast to the normal version, you require about 93 MB of free harddisk space this time!
• The first 50 discs are limited, an "extra"-feature is included

If you now think "dynAMIte is becoming commercial!" you aren't right since the game itself will stay freeware.
We just want to give the fans of that nifty little game we all love the chance to purchase a
"bigger, better, faster, more" edition which is even a way to say "thank you" to the programmer.
The price is as low as possible, we think every Amiga user nowadays can afford 15 Euro for a good game and its extras.

It's available for:
Germany: EUR 15,-
Great Britain: GBP 11,-
Europe: EUR 18,-
USA: USD 15,-
All prices including shipping-costs

I have to mention that Stefan Martens and Robert Konrad are no longer involved in the maintenance of the Amiga-User-List. Changes and additions can only be made by me.

• shows errors for missing required tags in NORMAL mode now, only RELAXED disables them
• added /RCMD=RECOMMENDED attribute modifier. Useful for accessibility tags like ACCESSKEY, TITLE etc., this yields "bad style" warning #90. HSC.Prefs is still awaiting a full update according to the W3C guidelines
• user defines from the commandline are now processed before the prefsfile is read. This allows individual prefs to be used depending on commandline switches that needn't be built in but can be user-supplied in form of a DEFINE

• change the main program (no GUI), knowing how to identify if the user clicked a leftout icon, identify the original file from the leftout icon, identify an appicon.
• change the prefs program (Reaction GUI) to add a new feature.

NList:

• Added MUIM_NList_Compare, MUIM_NList_Construct, MUIM_NList_Destruct, MUIM_NList_Display done by sensei.
• When an Button Image Object is given a ShortHelp and the Mouse is positioned over the button, the ShortHelp for that object will be shown, otherwise the Default ShortHelp for the full NList object itself will be shown done by Richard Poser.
• Minor other changes.

• FIXED: Fixed lot of bugs

• Rudimentary request logging.
• Built-in directory listing (for dirs without an index document).
• Embedded ARexx command execution.
• Execution of external ARexx scripts (with QueryString as argument).

Kowledge of partition and rigid disc block is required and he/she should know how to mount a data system on AmigaOS.

In addition knowledge of the most important fields of the partition and data system structures is desirable.

Whoever is interested, please contact Ben Hermans at Hyperion.

The most important change is the introduction of the section AmiBlitz2. I hope that CjStroker accept my lack of time and won't ask me twice each day when it will be really full up ;)

The visitors' book is also new. It's not only for the visitors of the BlitzBasic-PC pages but also for all guests who find the AmiBlitz2 section much more interesting. Now you have an opportunity to write down your opinions and complaints.

BlacksEditor may be counted to the best editors, Amiga Arena made a very complete interview with the actual developer Mauro Fontana. The interview is available in German and English.

Changes since 5.4:

• System files report: checks sizes, loads and saves snapshot files, allows any base path.
• Hardware ID viewer: shows extra information.
• Battery-backed RAM editor: converted to ReAction.

The program can be downloaded from the home page of the author. In addition you need the ixemul.library (at least v48, to be found on the home page, too) to run the program.

For those who are not familiar with AudioGalaxy yet:
The AudioGalaxy client owns no GUI (graphical user interface) as it runs only in the background. Just run the program, then create an account at audiogalaxy.com and log in using a web browser. Optionally one can use the frontend FSWatcher by Thomas Igracki.

That's Alan Redhouse of Eyetech, the man behind the AmigaOne. Alan writes for Total Amiga Magazine and in the May issue he reveals exclusive new information on the AmigaOne not seen anywhere else before!

Sadly for Alan, he will have to stay gagged until every copy of Total Amiga Magazine is sold before we let him go.

"Humph, hurrgh!"

Stop the cruelty, free Alan Redhouse, buy a copy of Total Amiga Magazine now.

Total Amiga Magazine is out May 17th and can be purchased from Eyetech and Computer City. Alternatively you can subscribe via Fore-matt home computing and Kicksoft, or from our website http://www.totalamiga.org.

Under the title link one may be awed by the first pictures of USB-Stack Poseidon in alpha version. There is not a lot of informative text on the page, but one can get an idea of the nature and state of the stack from the screenshots.

First mices and keyboards, then cameras (web and digital), hubs, printers and other gizmos can be used and easily configured.

• Full joystick/mouse configuration (full keyboard configuration will be implemented later).
