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)

Since data retention, as it is now possible after the decision of the EU parliament, does not only affect EU citizens but also their worldwide communication partners, we ask any user to sign - no matter where from. During the first campaign 16206 people signed the open letter to the EU-Parliament -- help us to collect even more votes this time! (ps)

back2roots.org: New mirrors
Besides a complete mirror (accessable via http and ftp) we added some new interesting mirrors:

Newly added complete mirrors:

  • amidemos.org (Amiga demos as DivX videoformat),
  • amigascne.org (a lot scene material)
  • aros.org (the source compatible AmigaOS clone),
  • geekgadgets.org (ports of many GNU/FSF programs for Amiga),
  • funet.fi [amiga] (many old Amiga programs, +Fish disks 1-999)
  • uu.net [amiga] (only few but very old Amiga programs :)
  • AMOK (Amiga Modula & Oberon Club, disks 1-105)
  • UAE (Ubiquitous Amiga Emulator, source- and binary archive)
  • WinUAE (Main-FTP of winuae.net)
Except the old pieces of software, everything else is updated every day and Aminet even every 2 hours.

As a special gift you will find the complete 'Frozenfish'-cd that also contains fish-disks 1-1000.

If somebody wants to add other freeware (floppy-)disk series and owns a flatrate, please feel free to contact us. ADF, DMS and lha archives are welcomed, too.

Furthermore we would like to publish other freeware CD's. So if somebody owns such a thing and has a broadband connection available do not hasitate and contact us, too. Our ftp-server can be accessed at:

Please contact info@back2roots.org before doing large uploads. Thanks a lot! (ps) (Translation: sk)
