ARexx-Chatclient: MUIrc
Robin writes:
"MUIrc in version 0.5 is available for the publicity for the first :)
This program is an IRC-/bitlbee-client which can communicate with several servers
at the same time and displays it in one window.
Thank you very much to the #amiganews.de-channel - I hope I did not get on your nerves
with my questions and my tests ;)
The program is not very comfortable. But it has only minimal requirements to the
system. It requires:
- MUI
- Running ARexx
- rxMUI, rmh.library, rxsocket.library, NList-mccs
- Last but not least: A system with PNG-icon-support :)
MUIrc was tested and developed under MorphOS and WinUAE but it should also run under
"proper" Amigas ;)"

AFD-Copyright: News to the support site
Dietmar Knoll who is the author of the AFD-Copyright which is a standardized, polyglot
licence text for freely copyable Amiga software has updated the website.
He writes:
There are some news on the official support site for the
"Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note".
First of all I have updated all sites of the AFD homepage.
Above all I have changed the mailto: links to my new contact formular
in order to protect my e-mail address from spam.
Because the service of detour of home.pages.de now finally works I could update
the detour for the AFD-Copyright Support Site.
The detour http://afd.home.pages.de/
now shows the current address http://afd.dietmar-knoll.de/.
I would like to remind all webmasters to take links only to one of the above mentioned two
addresses. Thanks.

Genesi: Pilot Program Broadened
As Genesi made known via a press release (title link), the second phase of the Genesi/Freescale Pegasos pilot project has been successfully concluded, and Pegasos-based ODWs (Open Desktop Workstations) were delivered to T-Mobile (Czech), MySQL and the NSCEE.
The ODWs are being tested in several server and cluster configurations using different operating systems and applications. To this end the Avalanche Desktop Reference Program at Jostens and Select Comfort and then Cargill, ePredix and Imation is expanded. The Avalanche members use a Debian GNU/Linux solution on Pegasos for the deployment as "thin clients" or fileservers as well as for general use.
Genesi made known further that the delivery of more than 100 Open Desktop Workstations to selected Debian, Gentoo, Crux, Yellow Dog Linux and MorphOS developers has concluded. Demo Scene teams also received consideration. (snx) (Translation: dm)

MorphOS: NetTools and Native identify.library
With NetTools, Illka Lehtoranta has released some little network programs. They are similar to their Miami equivalents, except smaller and PPC-native. NetPing, NetResolve and NetTraceRoute are contained in the archive.
There's also a native replacement for identify.library ready. It's for use with Scout. Although not quite complete, it delivers a better computer description of the Pegasos.

Test: Use of Solid-State Disks in Pegasos?
Ironfist of pegasos.org tested whether solid-state disks (SSD) may be used as replacement hard-drives in a Pegasos without additional components, to do this he made use of an M-Systems 256 MB iDOC (Disk-on-Chip).
The short answer reads rather like a reply to a question to Radio Eriwan: in principal, yes. MorphOS supports the hard-drive device without limitations (screenshot), but the open firmware doesn't, so currently one can't boot from an SSD hard-drive. (snx) (Translation: dm)
