`10.Mar.2004` drHirudo (ANF)	Mind game: Sokoban clone "BoxWorld" "drHirudo" has released the Sokoban clone "BoxWorld".

`10.Mar.2004` Steffen Nitz (ANF)	Die Kleine Gilde II: Training game for arbalest contest available The next version of the game Die Kleine Gilde II will include a little arbalest shooting contest that will be held about all five years. There is a trainig mode game for that contest available now which is downloadable at my homepage. Information about "Die Kleine Gilde II": The game is a round based economy simulation of the late Middle Ages from around 1400 to 1600 but als a realtime strategy game with rol play and life simulation. Interesting is the possibility to found a family dynasty if the game should be continued after the death of your first game charakter. You start as a smith, joiner, alchimist, perfumer, publican, thief or sermonizer. After collecting some money you might change your occupation. Further on you can apply for official or clerical administratives to improve your career. (snx) (Translation: ub) [News message: 10.

`06.Mar.2004` Cyborg (ANF)	Patch: domains with special characters on Amiga Cyborg wrote: Hi, on the FTP server of benderirc.de there's a TCP/IP patch (8 KB) for alle TCP/IP stacks for the Amiga. The patch has been tested with Miami on a 68040 Amiga under AmigaOS 3.1. The patch allows all programs to use ISO strings, for example "sfbücher.de", without having to convert them into the IDN spelling "xn--sfbcher-p2a.de". Example: > ping sfbücher.de PING xn--sfbcher-p2a.de (212.162.56.70): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=0 ttl=54 time=59.093 ms 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=1 ttl=54 time=57.98 ms 64 bytes from 212.162.56.70: icmp_seq=2 ttl=54 time=56.614 ms --- xn--sfbcher-p2a.de ping statistics --- 3 packets transmitted, 3 packets received, 0% packet loss round-trip min/avg/max = 56.614/57.895/59.093 ms As you can see does the miamiping even recognize the "xn--" spelling and shows it without the program ever get to know this at all! It is really unpatched! Unfortunately this doesn't work with web browsers as it should but this is because of the browsers and not because of the patch (the reason is described in the readme file). In short: AWeb for example does show the IDN spelling but uses the ISO way with the vhost. This does the Apache-WebServer not know and the page can't be found. For sfbücher.de I have made this possible. Therefore here's a call to the IBrowse & AWeb teams to adapt their routines. The ping shows that it's possible (how is written again in the readme file). YAM and SimpleMail have the same problem on another level but that could be solved the same way. To make the thing with IDN easier in the future I'll soon make an IDN library available for converting. The patch archive contains an IDNA converter ISO->PUNYCODE. This way you can provide the browser with the correct name in the meantime. > netstat Active Internet connections Proto Recv-Q Send-Q Local Address Foreign Address (state) tcp 0 12 amiga.1026 xn--sfbcher-p2a..ftp ESTABLISHED tcp 0 0 amiga.1025 irc.phat-net.de.ircd ESTABLISHED udp 0 0 amiga.netbios- . udp 0 0 amiga.netbios- .

`06.Mar.2004` ANN (website) / Gerd Frank (email)	OctaMED SoundStudio V2: OS4 version announced After the appearing of a quoting from the mailing list for the program OctaMED SoundStudio V2 on ANN confirmed the author Gerd Frank that there will indeed come a PPC/AHI version for AmigaOS4. Tests and support for a MorphOS version, though, aren't possible for him because of the lack of hardware because he didn't receive a Pegasos from Genesi despite an agreement with Genesi in summer last year.

`06.Mar.2004` Guido Mersmann (ANF)	ArakAttack: USB support for Prometheus may be possible Thanks to the latest information on the Prometheus PCI interface it was possible to add native support to the ArakAttack USB driver. It was possible to work around the missing memory conversion routine, so there is a good chance USB will be possible on Prometheus hardware. At http://www.vmc.de/amithlon/swr you'll find a debug version with prometheus support. This version is checking the API only. No USB functions this time. Please read the included readme for further information on how you can help making USB and other drivers possible on your system. Please install the latest prometheus.library and Poseidon V2.2. There is no need to insert an USB card, because it's only a function test. (snx) [News message: 06. Mar. 2004, 07:37] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`05.Mar.2004` Amigaworld.net (Website)	AmigaOS4: AHI/PPC-driver for SB128 and mixer in beta test As Amigaworld.net reported Ross Vumbaca has published his SB128-AHI/PPC-driver for AmigaOS4. Additionally Davy Wentzler has created a mixer utility which will be integrated in the new operating system. The following sound cards as well as chips are supported for play and record with 16 bit, stereo sound and eight to 48 khz: AudioPCI97 Sound Blaster Vibra Sound Blaster 128 Sound Blaster 64(V) ES1371 ES1373 CT5880 EV1938 The mixer which can be used as Workbench-commodity allows the independent control of the input and output sources (CD, Video, Aux, Line-In and Mic-In as well as PCM and Master) of all sound cards supported by OS4. Additionally you can save and load the preferences. The support of two further cards is in work. One of them comes from the professional area. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 05.

`05.Mar.2004` MorphOS-News.de (Website)	MorphOS: RunDOS published RunDOS (38 KB) is a small program which makes the use of MS-DOS programs more easy in that way that you can start them via double click on the icon. RunDOS delivers the necessary parameters to the emulator DOSBox. (snx) (Translation: dr) [News message: 05. Mar. 2004, 07:41] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
