`16.Dec.2006` Amiga Future (website)	AmigaOS 4: patch for using TD64 file systems Fredrik Wikstrom's td64 patch enables the use of TD64 file systems under AmigaOS 4 - e.g. the 68k versions of the NTFileSystem or the FATFileSystem. The NSD device drivers of AmigaOS 4 (e.g. the a1ide.device) are modified in a way that they also support the TrackDisk64 standard (TD64). The latter was suggested in 1996 by Ralph Babel and supported by a group of developers; later on did Ralph Schmidt distribute such a patch for the FastFileSystem. Both implementations, TD64 and NSD, are a 64 bit enhancement to read and write from/to harddisks bigger than 4 GB in size. While TD64 had been used among others by phase 5 controllers became the New Style Device standard (NSD) by Heinz Wrobel under AmigaOS 3.5 official part of the operating system. With AmigaOS 4 the usage of NSD is kept upright and in MorphOS TD64 is continued. With this background TD64 file systems - like the support of NTFS, EXT2, XFS and FAT created by Marek Szyprowski originally for MorphOS and also for AmigaOS/68k released - couldn't be used until now under AmigaOS 4. Please note, though, that this is the first version of the td64patch and that the author hasn't made ample tests. The use is therefore at one's own risk.

`16.Dec.2006` amigaworld.net (website)	Programming language: PureBasic becomes freeware, sources partly released The Amiga version of the BASIC dialect PureBasic isn't continued anymore so that the developer has decided to release the whole package as freeware and to make parts of the source code publicly available. Released were the source code of the complete command set, the IDE (Integrated Develepment Environment) as well as the source codes for some tools. The compiler is for all versions of PureBasic identical - as the Windows, Mac OS X and Linux versions are still distributed commercially theses source codes aren't available. People who make improvements in the code of PureBasic are invited to make these available to the original developer so that they can be implemented in future Amiga versions. The PureBasic developer agrees to port the newest built of the compiler for such versions to the Amiga. (cg) (Translation: wk) [News message: 16.

`15.Dec.2006` Amiga.org (Webseite)	Dream 17: Request for support Dream 17 is a tribute to the game developers of Team 17 which are responsible for such titles like Worms or the Alien Breed serie. Additional to detailed information, screenshots and other specials at Dream 17 you can find all Amiga titles of the game developers for legal download. Under the title link Dream 17 asks for support because in the next year the current server which was for free cannot be used any longer and a commercial one must be used. The maintainers of the site ask for donations via PayPal to keep this offer alive. Above all support is required for selling fan articles. Therefore somebody is needed who at least can create a vector graphic of the Dream 17 logo. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 15.
