OnyxSoft: Updates for JoinSplitter and TheMPegEncGUI
The Swedish developer group OnyxSoft introduces Adam 'ChaOzer' Waldenberg who is
an Amiga and now also MorphOS developer for many years as a new member.
Additionally there are updates of the programs
JoinSplitter and
TheMPegEncGUI. Others are
supposed to follow.
TheMPegEncGUI is a graphical user interface for the following MPEG-Audio-Encoders:
- MusicIn (68k or PowerUP)
- Pegase (68k or WarpOS)
- Ncode (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
- Lame (PowerUP or WarpOS)
- BladeEnc - (68k or PowerUP)
- MP3Enc (68k)
- Ogg Vorbis
- MPEGA (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
In version 2.41 now the rawbyteorder-function works. Besides this a bug has been cleared
when putting back the estimated time of completion.
And here are the changes in version 1.16 of JoinSplitter which is a program that can
split or join bigger files:
- Worked around a bug in the GUI-engine which made the Splitter part crash under OS4
- Reworked the gauges a little to be more sensitive to different window border sizes
- Fixed a bug in one of the split modes if memory was running low. It would generate the wrong size for the splitted files
- Fine-tuned the conversion between kilos (1024<->1000)

Spiel: ToT - Tamar needs new land!
For the third time the popular action 'Tamar needs new land!' gets started.
Since Tamar is once again completely settled new regions have to be opened to give space to new settlers.
These opportunities are really rare and you should use these!
On September, 1st there's such an opportunity. Start with other players under the same conditions and show them that you are the one who should get the emperor's crown!
Learn about regions of Tamar that no man has entered before. Be challenged by dragons, undead and other creatures and show that you can compete with other real people.
Hint 1: Our price (250,- Euro) for the first emperor of Tamar who founded his/her empire after January, 1st 2004 can still be won and we would be pleased if you'd be the winner (rules for this can be read in the referring action in the ToT forum).
Hint 2: Enter the keyword 'Shareware' in the serial field when registering for ToT to play for free for some time. A round fee will be demanded when you are deeper into the game. Enter in the notes field that you want to start on September, 1st on new land.
Enjoy playing ToT.
