Hardwaretip: Volume-Control with multimedia keyboard
Thomas Wenzel describes how to use a multimedia keyboard for volume control:

Control the master volume of your Amiga/Prelude soundsystem with the special keys of a multimedia keyboard:).A normal PC-Multimedia keyboard, Guido Mersmanns MMKeyboard Interface and my new mixing commodity for the Prelude make it possible.

That's how it works:

In combination with the delivered "driver" commodity MMKeyboard Interface is able to control the special keys of the multimedia keyboard and configure them with free choosable functions. For audio purposes many keyboards have "Volume +", "Volume -", and "Mute"-keys for this special functions. The new Prelude mixer has now an AREXX port that understands VOLUP, VOLDOWN, and MUTE. With the Prelude you are still able to use the Amiga soundsignal (PAULA) and now control its volume, too, with the keyboard.

DTP: AmigaWriter Filter V1.1 for PageStream
AmigaWriter-Filter is a new import filter for Soft-Logik's DTP program PageStream. Click on the thumbnail to the right to see a screenshot of what it can do!

It consists of two parts:

The text filter inserts the main flow-text of your AmigaWriter documents into the current PageStream article with most of its text formattings. The document filter loads your AmigaWriter documents as if they were native PageStream documents, retaining as much of your original document as possible.



Applications

AmigaWriter-Filter was designed to
  • print AmigaWriter documents to PostScript
  • export AmigaWriter documents to PDF
  • use AmigaWriter as a WYSIWYG replacement for PageLiner
  • ... and anything else you can think of :-))
The filter comes with the usual options you would expect from a PageStream import filter: it performs typographical conversions for quotes, dashes and ellipses. In addition, it allows you to choose the quote format (available are US, French, German and German-French). The text filter has another option called Apply Styles Only which can be a great help to achieve consistent layout, especially when several authors are working on one text.
