Who Will Port BMP2WBMP?
Thorsten Schölzel writes: "While browsing the Workshop in AMIGAPlus about the display of WAP-pages I came across the conversion program "BMP2WBMP," which is a program that allows BMP images to be quickly and easily displayed as WBMPs, and thereby embedded in a WAP-page."

"Unfortunately there is no AmigaOS port, so I am publicly calling for this program to be ported. It is written in ANSI-C and may be downloaded from the homepage."

Download Sourcecode: bmp2wbmp.c

Update 07.06.2002:
Ramazan alias Gigatron has ported the program. You can download the port from the Web site of Thorsten Schölzel: bmp2wbmp.lha (ps) (Translation: dm)

A.D.A. - Demo Archive with Commenting and Voting
From today on, new programs have been integrated into ADA. All visitors can vote on each demo and write a comment. Through these new functions it will be possible in a short time to tell which demos are most loved and the best, and other users will be tipped off which ones they should download.

The comment function can be found under the screenshots in every demo. For the voting you must register (username and password). In the future we'll make the user data editable, so if a user would like to express more about his interests (email address, homepage, system specs) he can do that.

Since a week ago, ADA has also been available at amigademos.de. (ps) (Translation: dm)

The Legacy


Nostalgia: The Legacy - Museum Again Online
The Legacy, the nostalgia museum, is reachable again. As reported there was always some problem with the provider. MishRa says: "The abstinence is over! The old museum keeper mishRa hobbles - on account of his troublesome knees - to the entrance and throws the doors w i d e open. At the same time he barricades them open, so that they won't easily be shut again."

In 'Nostalgic Game Museum' you'll find screenshots, cover-scans und genre definitions for over 10,000 games. 'The Legacy' also offers informationen over the developers of old games for C64, Amiga, Atari, PC and Schneider/Amstrad CPC. (ps) (Translation: dm)

AmigaOS + POP/PPC petition official web site
Emanuel Mair writes:
AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk is finally online! Here you'll hopefully find all information you could possibly want about the AmigaOS distribution policies and POP/PPC hardware petition. I hope the background information and FAQ will be especially helpful to clear up some of the confusion surrounding these issues.

If you have not yet signed the petition, then please do so now! Please help spreading the word by linking to AmigaPOP.8bit.co.uk. It's not too late to save our favourite OS and a unified POP-based hardware market!

In other news, I have finally managed to get in touch with the PetitionOnline.com administrators. The few abuse and sabotage attempts so far have been removed from the signatory listings. Not that any garbage would ever reach the recipient of our petition, but I understand some thought that it didn't look too good... (ps)

CLI2WB, easy CLI commandline launch from Workbench
CLI2WB, easy launch Shell (CLI) commandline from Workbench. I've configurated CLI2WB for the realaudio 1/2/3 player RAplay. So doubleclick on the icon, an ASL loadrequester appears to select a realaudio to play. You can define the title, OK button and pattern of the requester in CLI2WB's tooltypes, and more. Also released Shrinky, a little utility to shrink the size of a file to an exact desired size.

EvenMore


Textviewer: EvenMore version 0.60
The freeware textviewer 'EvenMore' is ready for download in version 0.60.

Changes since version 0.59:

  • Created a basic RTF plugin.
  • Removed Printer settings from the preference GUI. Instead of opening the printer device, it will now open a file using the PRT: device instead. The other method was causing problems with TurboPrint. Please use the Workbench printer preferences instead.
  • Fixed a bug. Was updating menus while they were still in use when loading or closing a file. Thanks Jean Marie :).
  • Images within EvenMore, e.g. Hand image when you quit EvenMore, will now be loaded through icons in the icon folder you are currently using. They will support NewIcons/GlowIcons as usual.
  • Created a basic Becker2text plugin.
  • A new PowerArt ASCII plugin has been created by aGGreSSor of team PowerAmiga, along with a new Russian locale!
