Amiga Java: status report about JAmiga project
Under the title link you can find a short status report about the Java implementation "Jamiga". Version 0.0.5 will soon be available, interested developers can already download the "daily snapshots" and compile these.
The source codes are prepared for being compiled under AmigaOS 3 and MorphOS. Whether this can be done under AmigaOS 4 is unknown, the developers ask for feedback about this.
The new version implements now for the first time the "JNI" interface. This makes it for external developers possible to create Java native libraries that are built like the shared libraries known from the AmigaOS.

Even before the calendaric beginning of spring, spring has arrived in Germany and at IOSPIRIT. "Time to polish our offers.", we thought. No sooner said than done:
We keep our low special prices of only 9.99 EUR per title until the 31st of March - and add even more to it: as a free extra, fxSCAN and VHI Studio now come with full versions 1 of our drivers. For fxSCAN that is the IOUSB Scanner Package and for VHI Studio that's the IOUSB DigiCam Package and the VHI RS232 Pack 2.
Take advantage of this truely low-priced opportunity and give the gift of software made with love to your computer ;-)
- free extra - thus without support, functional guarantee or warranty of any kind. You find the serials of the drivers on the invoice that you are being sent via e-mail as PDF.
- the VHI RS232 pack does not contain Olympus drivers. These are no longer available.

individual Computers: New software
Catweasel MK4 with Linux drivers
Michael Krause has adapted his cwfloppy driver for Linux to the Catweasel MK4. The new driver is only available for Kernel version 2.6, and can currently only read disks. Get more information on the author's homepage.
MMC64 plugins available
The flashcard-based mass storage device for the C64 computer supports a plugin system that handles unknown filetypes with external programs. The first plugins support the seven picture formats Koala, Doodle, Advanced Art Studio, Interpaint, Hi-Eddi, Art Studio and Paint Magic.
Download: MMC64_PicturePlugins.zip (5 KByte)
Further, there's a player for a streaming.video format that's already supported by another mass storage unit for the C64:
PAL version:: MMC64_aniplgin10_PAL.zip (2 KByte)
NTSC version: MMC64_aniplgin10_NTSC.zip (2 KByte)
The BIOS of MMC64 has been improved a lot after the first bug reports. The new version 0.96 can be flashed by the user by simply placing the file in the SYSTEM64 directory of a flashcard. Should anything go wrong while flashing the unit with the browser, the same tool is available on a recovery disk.
BIOS: MMC64_V096.zip (7 KByte)
Recovery disk: MMC64_Recovery_096.zip (8 KByte)
Detailed documentation of MMC64 is now available in the support area of the website of individual Computers. Programmers can find information about the MMC64 registers, and a few code examples of how to read and write data from and to the flashcard in their own programs. A commented source code for a plugin will follow in a few days.

MUI: several source codes secured
Jens Langner announces that his call to support the saving of the data from Allan Odgaard's broken hard-disk (amiga-news.de reported), led to a success. All data could be secured so that active development of products like "TextEditor.mcc", "BetterString.mcc", "HTMLview.mcc" or "IProbe" can now continue.
Under the title link has Langner summarized the events and explains in short the licences he wants to use to distribute the named titles in the future. He thanks especially all those who have supported him and shows his deep impression regarding the extent of the support he received.
