Event: "Maximum Overdose", April 22nd, Lübeck, Germany

The following competitions are scheduled:
- 16kb tracked music
- combined graphics
- combined demo
- different game and fun competitions
The chosen room facilities of the students home will be enough for about 100 scener and retro fans plus their hardware.
Most important: Register in time if you like to come with your wired darling (Amiga, C64, Atari... no PeeCees!). There's also the option to stay overnight. Doors open for EUR 8 the entire weekend. (cg) (Translation: ub)

MorphOS: native versions of MPEG de-/encoders for Wildfire7
"wf_mpeg2decode" and "wf_mpeg2encode" are the MorphOS versions of the free MPEG video loaders and savers that are part of the Wildfire7 distribution.
The two files have to be copied into the directory "system/tools/" in the Wildfire7 main directory. The already existing files have to be replaced with the new ones - the author recommends to create a backup of the old versions first in case problems with the new version should arise.
It cannot be guaranteed that the programs run on all systems, the modules have been tested on a Pegasos 1 G3@600mhz.
Saving of a test animation as MPEG file with the 68k mpegsaver needs 1 minute and 42 seconds (with JIT) while the PPC native version takes 16 seconds.
If there are any questions please contact Andreas Küssner via e-mail. Our thanks go to Oliver Hummel for compiling and doing various tests.

Tales of Tamar: Not enough prospects for "The Great War of Anarrow"
Dear Amiga community, unfortunately there are not enough prospects for our free
action "The great war of Anarrow" (14 at all, 11 Mosianer and 3 Hombres). Therefore
the war will not take place.
But we give a last space of time of one week. If there should be more than
50 persons on each side the war will take place.
We want to invite all interested players to use the shareware option and
to play the game for a while for free.
Greetings,
Wolfen & the ToT-Team (snx) (Translation: dr)
