Archiv 'Updates for hardware and software products'


09.Jan.2002
Thomas Unger (E-Mail)


The Kickstart Archives V1.3
With permission of Alex Lupták, Gregory Donner and Ian Chapman you can now also browse through the newest versions of hardware reference Lex Site (ca. 80 MB), the Workbench Nostalgia and the Big Book of Amiga Hardware (ca. 90 MB) offline.

Changes:
  • updated: Workbench Nostalgia of Gregory Donner (07/01/2002)
  • updated: The Big Book of Amiga Hardware of Ian Chapman (27/12/2001)
  • updated: Lex Site of Alex Lupták (21/11/2001)
  • added: Haynie's Garage Sale!
  • added: User Guides, Manuals, Service Manuals as PDF-files
    • Commodore A590 Service Manual
    • Commodore A1060 User's Guide
    • Commodore A2088/2286 Manual
  • updated: Search index for client offline search engine


Dave Haynie gave the permission using the pictures and texts of his eBay-offer "Haynie's Garage Sale!". These sites contain interesting background information of many products and prototypes of the Commodore's developing department.

Amiga, Inc. (Vince Pfeifer) and MacroSystem Digital Video AG (Ibrahim Tertemiz) gave the permission to publish manuals of their products as PDF-files on the CD. Manuals of XiPaint, Samplitude and MovieShop of MacroSystem are not included. The first manuals are included but more producers and manuals will follow.

The index of the search engine allows you search for headwords of all new sites which were added. For using it you must have a browser with full JavaScript support. This function offers none of the presently available Amiga browsers. Therefore you have to use different operating systems. Of course the link page works fine on each system. Unfortunately under Linux there are some restrictions because at the beginning the use of small/capital letters when creating files has been neglected.

You can look at all PDF-files on Amiga with the help of the current version of Apdf. THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES costs USD/EUR 10,- (without transport costs, Germany EUR 1,50, Europe EUR 3,- and worldwide USD 3,- normal and USD 5,- air mail). You have to pay USD/EUR 5,- (without transport costs) for updating your old version. (ps) (Translation: dr)

The addendum "Using PC floppy disks with Amithlon" describes the usage of PC floppy disks to transfer data from the Amiga to Amithlon.

If you have tested a program that it not on the list yet, we would be pleased it you would tell us about that. Please use our form. Thank you very much. (ps)

Elbox: VHI Studio - Mediator drivers
Elbox Computer is happy to announce availability of new drivers for the Mediator busboard.

For users of the Mediator PCI for Amiga 1200 and Mediator PCI for Amiga 4000 busboards with the Mediator Multimedia CD package, drivers have been released as of today for the VHI Studio software. These drivers have been prepared by Elbox Computer programmers.

VHI Studio produced by Innovative, is a video-editing and snapshot-software including webcam- and timelapse-support and featuring (PPC-supported) highspeed-MPEG-compression and realtime-preview-facilities. It currently supports all major digitizer-boards and DigiCams on the AMIGA and is the most popular digitizing and recording-software on the AMIGA-market.

Using the VHI Studio program, users of TV cards in Mediator may now grab and edit snapshots and video sequences from broadcast and cable TV and any other signal sources connected to the input of the TV tuner card, for example: video cameras, TV SAT tuners, DVD players and VCR players.

All you need is:
Mediator PCI busboard
TV tuner card
Voodoo graphic card
VHI Studio software

Enjoy snapshots and videos to your heart's content. More creativity. More fun.

PhotoAlbum V6.6 und CyberShow V9.5a
Helmut Hoffmannrites:
After a longer break I have released new versions of my shareware programs "PhotoAlbum" and "CyberShow". The most important new features in both programs (PhotoAlbum 6.6 und CyberShow 9.5a) are functions to rotate pictures +/- 90° or 180°. For users of a Sony-CyberShot digital camera an automatical rotation detection is integrated.

Both programs are available in the Aminet (gfx/misc/photoalbum66.lha - gfx/board/cybershow95a.lha) and on my homepage (title link).

The shareware prices are adapted to EURO. For all internet users ordering online (order and delivery via email) a reduced price of EUR 20,- is valid. Ordering via mail and delivery on disks will cost you EUR 30,-. (ps) (Translation: gf)

Downloadmanager: Charon V1.98
Well, believe it or not, it's been released. Available from my homepage or from Aminet in a couple of days.

Version 1.98 (6.1.2002)
  • Introduced the concept of groups. Now each URL can belong to a group and will take that group's settings as its default settings. A new URL is by default placed in the group in which the active entry indicator is currently found.
  • Completely rewritten URL parsing routine which resulted in a large speed up. This speed up would be even larger, but the URL comparison routine was changed from simple string compare to full-blown URL comparison routine which works properly.
  • Rewritten detection of duplicates in the list. The code is now much faster and works for any number of duplicates, unlike in the last version.
  • Charon now remembers the length of the file on server and shows it all the time (if it is available).
  • Many improvements and some fixes in the HTML parsing routine.
  • Addressed some security issues.
  • There's now a special treatment for %2F URL escape code (/) because there are some filesystems that allow / in a filename.
  • Added support for ftp://.../file;type=x URLs.
  • When automatically creating filenames from the URL, %xx sequences are now decoded.
  • There's a new section in the documentation describing some "hidden" features. Charon's tooltypes/arguments (LOG and SETTINGS) are documented there.
  • It is now possible to log all HTTP headers that were sent or received through Charon for debugging purposes. More about this in the advanced section of the manual.
  • There's a new configuration option which tells Charon not to read the size of the files on the disk during the startup thus speeding it up. More about this in the advanced section of the manual.
  • DOS requesters are now blocked while the list of entries is being loaded in order to prevent a bunch of the "Please insert ..." requesters from a appearing if one of your drives is dismounted.
  • New gadget "Move & start" in HTML links and Internet search windows.
  • Changed the way Charon shortens the filenames when "Max filename length" option comes into action.
  • Changed the way the "Directory structure" option works. It now also takes into consideration the name of the host.
  • When a file is downloaded and Charon needs to check if there are any queued files to be started, they are first searched for in the same group in which the downloaded file was.
  • Some changes in ARexx interface as a result of introduction of groups.
  • Updated some and removed some searches from Internet search window. Ideas for possible additions are welcome.
  • Fixed a bug in parsing dates in HTTP headers.
  • Fixed a rare bug in display of percentage of the downloaded file.
  • Too long FTP paths would cause a crash while sending a request. Fixed.
  • Fixed a small memory leak during that occured only when Charon was started from the shell.
  • Charon would report that it couldn't resume a transfer when a file had already been downloaded fully.
  • SET Arexx command wasn't working properly for ages, fixed.
(ps)
