APC&TCP Celebrates 15th Birthday
Pressrelease APC&TCP Celebrates 15th Birthday We have overlooked it nearly. APC&TCP got 15 years old this year. Being as active as in the beginning. Currently we have a survey for a reprint of the AmigaOS 3.9 book and the English Amiga Guru Book. New versions of Desert Racing and AmiATLAS are in the works, MTRechnung for OS4 will be released soon and some other projects are close to their release. Meanwhile we have adopted the English print magazine Total Amiga and on 5th July the first English version of the Amiga Future is going to be released. By the way the Amiga Future will get 10 years old this year. To celebrate a little we have reduced many prices in our online shop permanently. Quite recently we have dropped the price for an subscription of the Amiga Future to foreign countries. The price for shipping and handling to foreign countries has been reduced aswell. Even though the postal office raised prices for it by 50 percent starting from 1st January. This way we hope to get some more subscribers for the Amiga Future to secure the future of the magazine in a long term. (snx) (Translation: aj)

MIDI-Sequencer: BarsnPipes New 1.26
Alfred Faust has a new version of the Multimedia-MIDI-Sequencers BarsnPipes published. This update fixes all Problems which are reported to the author, among others:
  • If the synchronisiation is not selected it is now really deactivated.
  • All GUI pics are reintegrated into the main program. The possibility, to create own GUIs was used only very rare. The loading procedure takes a big amount of time. Because of the rare used nice "Skinability"-feature I've decided, to remove it again. This reduces the start-time of the program very much.
  • Now 3 different Versions are available for OS3.0 or higher a 32-color-GUI (for AMIGAs with graphics-card), for OS3.0 or higher a 8-color-GUI (for AMIGAs without graphics-card) and for OS2.1 8-color-GUI (ONLY for OS2.1)
