MRE-1.Mai-Edition: ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20
You had to wait a long time, but I hope you are content with the things I
have done meanwhile:
ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20 are ready, with many of your proposals
implemented. Some changes: ClassAction has an improved way of copying,
classes for volumes and assigns, "Open with" and "Copy to" submenus, an own
file attribute window, and many little improvements like file comment
display and vertical arranged listers.
StartMenu has now lost the nerving bugs; it can control commodities, opens
on other screens and has an improved window button display.
All MRE modules only contain the English language. I will prepare the
translations, they will follow in the next weeks.

New benchmarks from "Project Petunia"
The author of "Project Petunia", the 68k JIT emulator for AmigaOS4, has released new benchmarks for this emulator (title link).
Ben Hermans of Hyperion commented those benchmarks within the comments of ANN as follows:
"At a 600 mhz G3 with on-die L2 cache and a 133 mhz FSB you might expect a much higher speed than with a 150-200 mhz 060. I would guess a 300 mhz as an absolute minimum. On current PPC cards the relevant benchmarks of petunia are slowed down by several facts:
- The 68k processor is stealing still some cycles simply because it's still "awake". Once it will be made completly slept this will result in a reasonable gain of performance.
- Dual processor architecture with context switches and cache flushes
- WarpOS is used and not Exec SG
All in all I guess that the emulator will reach the performance of a 060/50 as a minimum even on the slowest (160 mhz) BlizzardPPC cards.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Martin "Mason" Merz
Enthusiasts of the "Glowicons" and with that nearly every Amiga user, might use a toolbar with Martin "Mason" Merz's GlowIcon style for his programs.
Martin Merz has not only given a big contribution for an optical "face lifting" for many programs but that the overall impression also seems to be unified.
As martin Merz said within the Amiga Arena interview, enthusiasts of the "Mason" icons might look forward to some more highlights. The interview is available in German.

amiga-news.de: New partnership site - Amiga Arena
From today on the Amiga Arene has become a new partnership site with amiga-news.de
Responsible for that site is Olaf Köbnik who describes that site as follows:
Since 1998 it is Amiga Arena's task to support the Amiga shareware and freeware market. With many time limited offers for shareware some new impetus should be given initially and the trust between developers and users should have been improved.
Beside those special offers (which actually aren't enforced) Amiga Arena informs with many current interviews and tries to build "a bridge" between users and developers.
Furthermore Amiga Arena tries to facilitate the lifting of control mostly of "shareware" and offers along with games some high quality applications for free download. A selected link list perfects the services of that site. Plus that there are further activities like e. g. arrangements of developers, beta testers, support and sales of commercial software and some other.

New DSL drivers for X-Surf
The xsurfadsl.device for our networking card X-Surf has been updated.
More than one DSL-modem is supported now, a bug that led to a crash
when hanging up has been removed, and the debug-output of the appp.device
for Genesis users has been removed, so the full performance is also
reached on systems without a graphics board.

BenderIRC 1.5 available

On the homepage of BenderIRC there are new updates for BenderIRC and all the tools. The new
version 1.5 of the IRC client comes with new features, and for the first time with a theme GUI
that shows fast and clear what makes BenderIRC such a unique software. Yes, I've put the
screenshot on the page, too :) You can e.g. grabb HTML links or advertising ads with help of
the plugins which are part of the package. It would be vital to take a look at the manual
to read about plugnins and security.
Who would like to do me a favour should tell me about bugs and not just chuck the program away
silently;certainly bugs will get fixed.

Vintage Computer Festival Europe in Munich
As already reported will for the
third time the "Vintage Computer Festival Europe (VCF)" come to Munich on 27. and 28. April 2002.
Goal of the Vintage Computer Festival is to support the preservation and the maintenance of
'historical' computers and other (E)DV devices, to awake the interest in
'superfluous' hard- and software and especially to have fun in it. The VCF is in
the meantime not only a regular event in the Californian Silicon Valley but also
a fix point in the European appointment books.
So let us return to the good old days when hacker were no security consultants,
bytes no Megabytes and Kleine Grüne Männchen were just Kleine Gruene Maennchen!
Of course does our Amiga system have to appear here.
Among the registered exhibitions is
"The Amiga history - From the unfortunate games console to the multimedia
workstation" by Thorsten Kuphaldt. People living in and near Munich shouldn't miss
the event at all!

New LDDCheck in the works
Michael Dietrich:
Unfortunately is Heiko
Schröder, the author of LDDCheck, since August 2000 not active on the
Amiga anymore, "AmigaSystem.org doesn't exist anymore since last year!" he
wrote to me on 25. April 2002. As many Amiga users appreciate the service of the
possibility to check online whether existing libraries, datatypes and devices
were still up-to-date and, if needed, to download a current version I asked Heiko
whether I may continue the project.
He gave me the permission and is pleased that his two years of work on the
project weren't wasted. The following projects has he entrusted to me:
- LibGuide
- DTypeGuide
- DevGuide
He will even deliver all scripts for the Internet so that we do not have to
restart from scratch! As I can't realize the project on my own I'm looking
for people who would like to participate in the project. Interested ones should
send an email to Michael Dietrich
or contact me via ICQ: Wolverine (107370055).

Amiga Arena: Full version of Breed96 version 1.3
One of the "most wanted" shareware games of the Amiga Arena was Breed96 by Damian Tarnawsky. It took a long time to make a free version possible but now Breed96 is available for free download in version 1.3!
Breed96 belongs to the best shareware games which has been developed for the Amiga and it should be commercially distributed by Vulcan Software after the developer Damian Tarnawsky worked three months on the next part Breed2000. But Breed2000 was never published by Vulcan Software.
Breed96 is a space colonisation game with elements from Sim City, Reunion and Deuteros. You have to build up your colony and to produce ore, food and buildings. You have to manage famines, attacks of Aliens and similar problems as well as explore and populate planets or leading wars.
Hints:
Damian Tarnawsky has not got the original version of Breed96 and therefore with his permission the cracked (keyfile) version 1.3 is available! Should be there anybody who has got a keyfile or the full version of Breed96 1.3b then please contact me! Thanks!

Hot: Warnings About Defective Mastheads on Websites
As was already reported,
many people who offer homepages are unaware that the new (German)
Teledienstegesetz (TDG) and Mediendienste-Staatsvertrags (MDStV) laws
mandate a masthead, an identifying banner at the top.
There have been hot reports about the first series of warnings over
missing or absent mastheads. In these cases, which number about 1000,
primarily commercial websites have been warned. But the step to private
websites is not far behind.
Click on the title link for the hot article.

Xonio: Test: Sharp Zaurus SL-5500g - Challenger with Linux
Fans of the Sharp Zaurus SL-5500g PDAs will find a comprehensive test by Xonio. In this test the equipment and the experience (fun with crosses and loops) are explored. Additionally there is a table with detailed information and a summary.
»The end of the idyll is near: Palm begins to fall from its comfortable market position, and the PDA dealers begin to move towards Pocket PC 2002, putting trust in the name of the desktop monopolist Microsoft. But Sharp is a manufacturer that has the power to establish Linux in the PDA market. "Zaurus" is the first strike, and Sharp has the tools to hype it, if there are no blemishes to be found on the lovely portrait.«
The complete article is under the title link.
