With the help of the PC-emulator PC-Task, André 'Ratte' Pfeiffer has installed Windows 95 on his Amiga 4000 which is equipped with a 68060-processor with 90 MHz. According to Pfeiffer Windows 95 on this hardware combination feels "like on a 486/33".

Picture editing software: iBatch 1.3
Press release Now iBatch 1.3 additionally can "implant" an EXIF-header in converted picture files. iBatch uses the new plugin "jhead-capsule" (screenshot).
If there is not an original EXIF-header, the plugin tries to create a new EXIF-header from the information provided by iBatch.
iBatch 1.3 can be downloaded under the title link and soon on Aminet. The "jhead-capsule" requires the corresponding CLI-command (have a look at the readme-file and the download link on the iBatch-website).

Aminet domain registration expired, Aminet temporarily not available (Update 2)
The Aminet team informs us: Due to an unfortunate oversight, the registration für the domain aminet.net has expired - that's why Aminet is currently not available at that address. The owner of the domain, Urban Müller, has been notified and will fix the problem as soon as possible.
We will announce a replacement URL as soon as it has been established (i.e. as soon as the server admin has returned home). The IP of the Aminet main server is 69.163.220.116, but you'll have to modify your computer's hosts file if you want to use this IP.
Note: Aminet and all of its mirrors continue to exist and are not in danger of being shut down. We're already witnessing users announcing they're making backups "for safety reasons" - please do not do that, you're only wasting server ressources donated to Aminet by private users, non-profit organisations and universities.
Update: (21.08.2011, 16:45, cg)
Amiga user LoadWB managed to convince our provider to reenable the domain for now, until the registration has been renewed.
Update: (21.08.2011, 23:30, cg)
Domain registration has been properly renewed a few hours ago. It may take a few more hours until all DNS servers worldwide have updated their databases accordingly, but tomorrow afternoon evernbody should be able to access Aminet again. (cg) (Translation: cg)
