SN-ListDatei v1.2 - webmaster update
There's a new version of SN-ListDatei available on the sn-archiv.de homepage. SN-ListDatei lists all files of a directory including all sub-directories with date and file size.

New in version 1.2 is the support for webmasters who want their files being handled in specific ways by search engines, e.g. Google. For locking files the file "robots.txt" and for the direct indexing the file "sitemap.txt" can be generated, both accepted for example by Google. The archive contains an image showing Google having accepted the "sitemap.txt". Furthermore, there are three new functions to remove files from the list:
  • Removing HTML files (e. g. for robots.txt)
  • Only HTML and text files remain (e.g. for sitemap.txt)
  • Removing files by using pattern
In the future there'll probably be the possibility to generate a XML file for sitemaps, the standard format for such uses. Right now, only a simpe Text file is created that is accepted at least by Google.

There are two new subdomains for the pages of www.sn-archiv.de: There were some additons to the Euro collectors site, too. (ps) (Translation: wk)

AmigaOS4: Multimedia synchronization with eXtream Sync
The library eXtream Sync by Davy Wentzler provides a server process which can synchronize the play of several multimedia applications. With it the applications can load the files before.

In future at least three products will be announced which will support eXtream Sync. Besides this in the next version there also will be a synchronization via the network.

The archive contains SDK. Although the program is for free the author asks for bounties for his work (eXtream, drivers and ports) via his PayPal-address.

MorphOS: Alpha-Version von MUI 4
Stefan Stuntz has released an alpha version of MUI 4.0. The author describes this version as "not ready for a while yet" and speaks of "various rough edges."

Changes in this version:

For users:
  • All mui programs react in realtime on prefs changes.
  • New and much improved background & frame requesters.
  • New color requester with many options, fancy triangle, old-fashioned wheel, linked gradients, etc.
  • New image browser.
  • Complete asl replacement, fancy file & font requesters.
  • New pubscreen manager with skin preview.
  • Dont forget to try context menus on all new elements!
  • ...

For programmers:
  • List class changed completely (subclass of group now), has nice columns, handles scrollbars etc by itself, no more ugly listview->list construct needed. this "list being subclass of group" might be the main reason for incompatibilities, especially with the way older apps use the notify system. Listview.mui is obsolete and mainly an empty shell now.
  • MUI finally has a proper multiline text entry class: Textinput.mcc was built in as "String.mui". an empty Textinput.mcc is supplied as well to map older apps to the new internal string class. Support in the main prefs program is still missing, use Textinput.mcp for now.
  • You can embed a filerequester if you like, use "Filepanel.mui" and control with the usual ASLFR_ tags.
  • New class for easy sub-process handling.
  • ...

The corresponding developer documents (Autodocs) are included in the archive.

New "adtools" project forces development on GCC, GDB, binutils etc.
Maintained by famous Amiga developers like Thomas Frieden, Hans-Jörg Frieden, Olaf Barthel, Andrija Antonijevic, Stefan Burström, Gunther Nikl and Jens Langner the new sourceforge.net open source project (adtools) has been started. it aims to pu all future development on development tools like GCC, binutils andd GDB under one roof to a common development platformn. Beside the already supported platforms like AmigaOS4/PPC support for MorphOS/PPC and others (e.g. AmigaOS3/m68k or AROS) is planed also.

At the already set up CVS respository for this new project one might view the current development state. It includes the sources of the changes to the GCC 4.0.0 compiler which allows to build AmigaOS4/PPC programs. it is planed for the future to provide binaries also. One will be able to chose the compiler version of choice and simply download the package.

All in all this project aims to bundle all development on GCC, GDB, binutils and other Amiga development tools to eventually get to that point where those famous projects will integrate Amiga relevant changes directly to their distributions.

Interested developers of all Amiga flavours (AmigaOS4, MorphOS, AmigaOS3, AROS) are called to join this effort and participate actively. (ps) (Translation: ub)

  • 1 TB at 8192 bytes/block
  • 2 TB at 16384 or 32768 bytes/block
If one of your partitions exceeds these maximum values it is very recomended not to use older versions of SFS any longer: Somewhen a data loss will happen! (cg) (Translation: ub)

AHT: Work-in-progress pictures of the graphics card daVinci
Following the title link you can find first pictures of the announced Zorro III graphics card daVinci (working title: AmiVD) developed by AHT International BV. The company is moving from Great Britain to Stellendam in the NEtherlands.

The board's development has reached beta state and is running without limitations (2D, 3D and DMA). Still to do are firther quality tests as well as driver adaptions for further PCI cards including sound cards.

The graphics card daVinci has an additional free PCI slot enabling the use of a selected number of PCI cards. Both slots are completely DMA enabled.

Depending on the asked number of boards is a Zorro II version still a possibility but this needs quite a few changes in the software.

Further information are available on the website of AHT as soon as they can be given. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Pegasos posters available
Today the Pegasos poster from APC&TCP are available. All advances in order were delivered yet.

The motives are "Horse" and "Cool Computing" as they can be found on the mousepads by APC&TCP. The posters have A1 oblong format. If it is wanted the posters also can be delivered rolled (instead of folded) but this is much more expensive. (cg) (Translation: dr)

AmigaOS4: Support of ESI Juli@ soundcards
Because of a AHI driver by Davy Wentzler AmigaOS4 now also supports the high-quality soundcard Juli@ from ESI/Egosys. The digital, MIDI- and Stereo-LineIn and -Out of the card are supported which also offers playing and recording up to 192 kHz at 24-Bit as well as the choice between RCA- and TRS-port.

The support of the card is managed by the Envy24HT driver which already also allows the use of soundcards Terratec Aureon 5.1 Sky, 7.1 Space, Phase28 and M-Audio Revolution.

The author points out that the chips of the card obviously have been changed (from a Envy24 to a Env24HT or Envy24HT-S). Possibly different codecs were used. The soundcard used by Davy Wentzler was new if you buy a new card it would work.

The driver will be available in the OS4Depot during the next days.

The author thanks Krister Skrtic for the support developing the driver of this card as well as Egosys for making available the complete source code (!) and the documentation of the Windows drivers. (snx) (Translation: dr)

MorphOS: D2A-Patch integrates Magellan-Lister to Ambient
The Dopus2Ambient-Commoditypatch written by Jacek 'jacaDcaps' Piszczek and Marcin 'MorgothDCaps' Kurek is a hack which makes it possible to open Magellan-Lister with a double click in Ambient.

The ARexx-interface is used for it. Additional to ARexx Magellan and Ambient (therefore also the icon.library and workbench.library) have to be started. In order to hide the Magellan window the backdrop-modus must be deactivated. Now you can start D2A and/or copy it to your WBStartup directory.

Please also note the known problems which are described in the Readme-file.
