Commodity: Window2Front
Michel 'DMX' Bagmeijer's commodity Window2Front is since today available on Aminet.
Unlike other programs of this kind it doesn't move the windows to the front via mouse click but via keyboard hotkey - which makes the need of rearranging the windows when the wanted one is just now completely covered and not directly accessable via the mouse obsolete. Required are at least Kickstart 2.04 and the commodities.library.

Tales of Tamar at the Games Convention in Leipzig
The company Eternity will be this year at the Games Convention (GC) in Leipzig from August, 19th to 22nd with a small booth and show there Tales of Tamar as PC, Amiga and Mac versions. As special highlight a first view on the almost complete 3D engine will be given.
Furthermore, Eternity will hold every day a speech of appr. 45 minutes length in the GC cinema. Subjects will be next to Tales of Tamar the games development in general.
Within the context of this piece of news it is pointed out that Amiga version now, too, can be played as shareware. To do so every Amiganer just needs to download the game and the latest update and enter the word 'Shareware' as serial when registering. As result you can play some time for free and therefore test the game for three to four weeks before you have to pay for continued playing.
Every gamer of Tales of Tamar who visits the fair and comes to our booth will get registered by us and receive 50 rounds for free.
The Games Convention is for the time being Germany's biggest games fair with around 90,000 visitors.
Tales of Tamar is a round based PBEM fantasy, strategy & role playing game similar to Kaiser or Civilization. The game runs already on an Amiga 1200 with 8 MB RAM and Internet connection. (snx) (Translation: wk)
