Team AROS: Bounty #33 placed for back porting of the MorphOS shell commands
Neil Cafferkey initiated the bounty project #33 of Team AROS. The reward was placed for the back porting of the shell commands taken over by MorphOS.
The only pre-condition is the bugfixing of commands normally already existing in the C directory of AROS - there's no need of an enhancement of the functionality.
Malfunctions due to errors in other software layers do not affect the bount, either.
In exchange to this he withdrew bounty #26. This project had the goal to make the VESA graphics mode selectable without adaptated GRUB boot loader.

Happy Birthday, Amiga!
20 years ago the Amiga was shown to the world public. As representative for all the "crazy ones" who still can't get away from the world's best computer system we let our reader Patric Klöter speak who indeed did write a n anniversary :
"Happy Birthday, dear Amiga! Today, 20 years ago, you were shown for the first time to the world public and it was in the New York Lincoln Center. Andy Warhol, Debby Harry and many other famous people were there to see your birth as first of all multimedia machines. In Deinen ersten Lebensabschnitten hast Du große Erfolge gefeiert, gefolgt vom Verlust Deiner Mutter, Commodore, und Deines Vaters, Jay Miner im Jahre 1994. Als Waise fandest Du Zuflucht bei Petro Tyschtschenko, der Dir im Sommer 1995 ein neues Zuhause bieten konnte.
Weltweit millionenfach verkauft, kannst Du zwar heute keine wirtschaftlichen Erfolge mehr feiern, aber die vielen Freunde, welche Dir beiseite standen, sind geblieben. Auch heute noch kümmern sich viele Amiganer rund um den Globus um Deine Gesundheit und haben es auch geschafft, Dir in fremden Welten ein Zuhause zu geben. Dir, lieber Amiga, wünsche ich noch ein schönes, erfülltes, langes, digitales Leben in der Welt der Bits und Bytes. Du hast es Dir verdient!
And don't forget: Good friends are the most important thing in the world!
Your friend Patric"

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.

Ghostscript: Print/view in oblong format
AFPL Ghostscript 8.50 has been adapted in this way that it is now possible to print
in oblong format. Additionally to the current version (from 14. July) you also
need the script pdf2ps.amiga.
In order to view or print e.g. the file annots.pdf in oblong format the following
command lines are required:
assign c: gs850:bin add
set GSLANDSCAPE 1
pdf2ps.amiga "" annots.pdf annots_landscape.ps
The created file annots_landscape.ps which is now in oblong format you can then
view with the following command:
gs -sDEVICE=whoosh24 -r50 -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE annots_landscape.ps

Windows: KlipFolio shows messages from amiga-news.de
Windows users who use the tool KlipFolio in versions 2.6 or 3 beta
by Serence for getting a survey over messages
have now the possibility to show messages from amiga-news.de, too. You can find a
corresponding "Klip" under the title link.
If a user should test the Klip with KlipFolio versions which are older than
v2.6 the author asks for feedback - the corresponding link can be found under the
title link at the end of the site.
