System Monitor: Sysmon V1.20a

On the 2nd of September Etienne Vogt released Version 1.20a of his shell-based System Monitor. Check the ReadMe Text for more information about the program. Since version 1.20 the following changes have been made:

  • 'UnMount ALL' will now ignore ENV: as well as RAM: if mounted as a separate handler. This allows late shutdown code to access global environment variables in all cases and also avoids problems with Env-Handlers that have broken ACTION_DIE support.
  • Added FRAGS option to the Sysmon monitor Show Memory command.

Relaunch of www.qdev.de
After nearly four years of online presence it has come to a great demand to renew my homepage completely. The new pages are all bilingual (German/English) and most of the content has been improved. Originally I wanted to finish all this earlier, but the successful finish of my first university degree (informatics) as well as the work for the Amidock for OS4 were (reasonable) more important.

Amiga Speed with first Voodoo4 and new Voodoo5 reviews
The gfx board Voodoo4 has been tested regarding its speed by Amiga Speed and surprises with its good performance. It even beats the Voodoo5 in most cases, which can probably be attributed to the chip design and the better drivers. However, the specifics have yet to be worked out. Please inform yourself under 2D Gfx (Voodoo4) about the current 2D performance and under Payback, Heretic2 and Q***e about the current 3D performance. The new Voodoo5 results can be found under 2D Gfx (Voodoo5) and Heretic2.

Furthermore, a new survey has been started, this time with the topic AmigaOne. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Tool: Rainboot4 in development
Rainboot4 is currently in development.

In prior versions Rainboot was only a program to show stunning demos during the Amiga's boot process. But with Version 4 it made its step to become a complete multimedia authoring system, which means that it has now a programming script language, which allows the programmer to create applications in a very easy way.

The programmer can use many of Rainboot4's functions which save him a lot of time. For example, you do not have to care if your application runs on Picasso96, Cgfx, AGA or ECS. That's Rainboot4's thing now! It does everything for you and it does it system friendly. Here's a short overview what's currently possible: more ... (sd) (Translation: cb)

Sowjet speech encryption machine for telephone and radio
Right before the summer break a software premiere: the simulation of the Sowjet speech encryption machine "Elbrus". This is a military encryption device for telephone and radio that had been used at the USSR army and the NVA of the GDR. The signal is analogue encoded using a digital code i.e. you get an encrypted audio signal that can be broadcasted directly (without modem) analogue via telephone or radio. With the program you can en-/decode own audio files (or an audio stream of the AHI device). The program should be unique in the Web and is for now exclusively available for the Amiga (68k and PPC). A detailed description and a sound example can be found following the title link. (ps) (Translation: wk)
