Developer tool: vlink 0.12f
vlink is a portable linker which can manage a lot of binary formats. The program is also part of the vbcc-distribution.
With publishing the latest version 0.12f it is recommended not to set the executable flag of the destination file before it was closed. Through this problems are avoided which can happen at some file systems (e.g. JXFS of AmigaOS 4).

osnews.com: Sam440-/AmigaOS 4.1 test report
On osnews.com Thom Holwerda has published a test report on a Sam440 which was made available by ACube.
AmigaOS 4.1 was the first Amiga operating system which Holwerda got to know - therefore he points out some features which in his opinion are no longer up-to-date or at least odd.

Hollywood now as QuickStart-edition available
Official press release: Due to popular request, Airsoft Softwair is now offering Hollywood 4.0 and Hollywood Designer 2.1 in special QuickStart editions. These QuickStart editions are optimized for a quick and hassle-free installation procedure, which means that they do not have to be burned on CD prior to installation. Instead, you simply download an archive and unpack it to the desired location on your hard drive. This is as easy as it gets! No installation necessary, just unpack and go. Your Hollywood installation will be ready within a minute!
The QuickStart editions are especially interesting for users of an Efika board without a CD-ROM, and generally for all AROS users because AROS currently doesn't support the Commodore Installer tool. Except for the installation procedure, the QuickStart editions are absolutely identical to the regular versions.
To order your QuickStart edition now, just tick the corresponding checkmark in the order form on this page. Order now!
