Important for all EASys customers!
Dear customers, this is an important note to all "old" and "new" Easyans:
On the installation of the system, the following broken entries in the User-Startup
might lead to severe problems: Especially Turboprint and some MUI installations
seem to have User-Startup entries that do start with ;BEGIN TurboPrint but don't
have an ;END TurboPrint. This is not in line with the Commodore Amiga Style Guide
and, in the current implementation of the Installer script, does lead to an error
that leaves the new startup prodcedure of the system unstable. This can be fixed
as follows:
Systems already installed are best uninstalled with help of the Deinstall script
from the CD, rebooted, and their S:User-Startup modified according to the above.
Then, a new installation should work. Upon first install, do the modifications to
the S:User-Startup first. Ideally, every program installed should have an entry
like this (replace [Program] with the according program's name):

Petition to Village Tronic
Since Village Tronic (VT) has canceled production of the Picasso IV for some time already,
and doesn't give hard information if and when defective PIVs will be repaired in the near
future (since one of the important persons so far managing the VT repair service has quit),
Paul Qureshi from the Picasso mailing list initiated a petition. The votes collected will
be presented to VT to motivate them to release documentation, so companies volunteering to
repair PIVs can do so.

AmigaSDK - Program Overview
If there should ever be a successor to the CD32 is depending
solely on if the new Amigas appear or not. At the Amiga show in Neuss, the AmigaSDK
(Software Devlopment Kit) has been presented to the public for the first time, and was
available for purchase. Now, we want to do our part to make the AmigaSDK and the new
Amiga a success, and so we decided to offer an AmigaSDK Program Overview. We took the PPC
Program Overview maintained by Carsten Schröder as a model.

Fair: Rolf Tingler brushes for you :-)
Maybe you already noticed by studying the hallmap
that airbrush booth besides the*AC#/amiga-news.de booth. We have convinced Rolf Tingler of the
Airbrush Paradise to show his airbrushing skills at a fair again after a long
time.
Rolf is known to many Amiga-users by his former appearences at fairs and he was the one who brought the
Amiga-design to the mobile phone housings.
At the fiar in Neuss he will, if you like, decorate your mouse with a nice airbrushed picture. The best you take your
Amiga mouse with you to the show for that. Also body tattoos, which will
disappear by itself after a while, are planned. The prices for that will be about DM 10,-.
At the fair you can take a close look at airbrushing and inform yourself about airbrushing, what airbrushing is,
and what you will need to do it yourself, how it is done, about what you have to take care for and what you better don't do.

a mileage limit. This ticket has the following restrictions:
It is valid from 12:00 AM to 3:00AM the following day on either Saturday or
Sunday. Up to 5 people can ride on on single ticket. This makes this the
cheapest way to get to the convention. More infos concerning this ticket at

X-Surf Samba Install CD is done
Just in time for the convention the Samba-Install CD for the X-Surf
ethernet card is finished. On the Amiga side everything is automatic, so
there is no need to deal with complicated configuration files. A few clicks
and you can access harddrives and printers in the network. For Amiga-Freaks
that don`t care for Samba, NetFS will also be automatically installed. No
editing of configuration files. The access performance of amiga-amiga is a bit
higher. For the PC there isn`t a simple method of automation, but a HTML
installation guide includes screenshots of all the important settings.
The CD will be given to all X-Surf customers for free that are able to show
the original bill of sale. Those that aren`t able to be in Neuss will have
to order it from thier retailer. There are not any plans to distribute the
CD without a customer order. Since the CD only contains 5.5 MB data, it will
most probably be available on the internet after the convention. However it
will be a while, since everything is in German and many of the users would
not be able to benefit from it.
