AmigaGuide/HTML viewer: strangé 0.18
strangé is a MUI-based AmigaGuide/HTML viewer based on HTMLView.mcc. Changes in version 0.18:
- Changes to options.c to load prefs faster
- Changes to prefs,c to handle prefs faster
- Added a "table detail pen", even if not used atm
- Rewrite the code to use SDI_#? for easy porting, but
rewrote some SDI_#? stuff, because they handle mos in
a very bad way
- With the help of Fulvio Peruggi, I finally found the bug
that made local html pages not be load for many: it was
some htmlview datatype fault. Now strangé should open any
local html file easly
- Again with the help of Fulvio, fixed a bug with some fancy
Amigaguide docs LINK parsing
- Fixed documents color handling
- Added BACKDROP option
- Added FANCY option for MorphOS version only, try it out :P
- MorphOS version iconify is now done in app subclass: the
main window is not closed, but hidden, so that loading
and pics rendering continues even when iconified
- Added AlwaysShowTabs prefs option: tab titles is present
even if just one tab is present
- Revisited local and online docs
- Many other minor bug fixes and changes
strangé is available for MorphOS and AmigaOS 3, meanwhile, both versions offer the same range of functions again. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MakeHTMLMap 5.100
Roland 'RhoSigma' Heyder's MakeHTMLMap supports web designers in creating online galleries and webshops.
In addition to essential changes concerning used or supported third party software - for example SView5, which made rapid development with almost weekly updates in the past weeks and months - (improvements) as well as some detailed enhancements were carried out in MakeHTMLMap in version 5.100: thus, for example, created layouts can now be saved and loaded separately, and also the Quick-Index function now works a little more sensibly and positions the sought picture at the beginning of the visible browser area.
