The GAUHPIL database is now publicly accessible, although there is
still room for improvement and not all pages have been altered
to the new layout scheme yet. On the other hand, the database itself
runs stable and the remaining static HTML pages will be adapted one
after another. (nba)

MUIrdf - Viewer for RSS/RDF-News
Many news-sites offer its news in the form of so called RSS/RDF-Feeds
(e.g. amiga-news.de).
"MUIrdf" is a small ARexx script with which you can take the headlines of those
news sources to the desktop.
"MUIrdf" loads these ones (with the help of wget), shows it as HTML-sites and allows you
to open the news belonging to the headlines in the browser (with OpenURL).
Requirements:
- MUI 3.8
- ARexx
- rxMUI
- RMH Libary
- MUI Custom Class: NList, HTMLview, BWin
- wget
- OpenURL
- PIPE:
If the author uses the program wget 1.9.1 under WinUAE it causes a total break down.
Because of this the next version will use the RxSocket.library if it is possible.

Multi-ADC (Analog Digital Changer) for Amiga, Pegasos and Amithlon
Here is an electronic diagram and a small test program for my six channel multi analog digital changer (download, 87 KB).
Characteristics of the ADC chip:
- Six measuring channels
- Programmable for unipolar (from 0V to +5V) and bipolar (-5V to +5V) measurements per channel
- Programmable reversal of the measurement polarity (only with bipolar)
- 12 bits resolution per channel
- programmable stand-by mode of the ADC
The following must be installed:
- rexxtricks
- tritonrexx
- triton.library
- rexxserdev
The following ENV variables should be inserted in the "ENVARC:" designation:
- Analog-device = serial device
- Analog-unit = serial unit
- Analog-Volt = maximal voltage reachable at the measurement entrances (normally "5")
Important:
The hardware (MultiADC) is fixed to a data rate of 15000 baud. If this data rate is changed on the computer there won't be any correct transfer of information.
The passive building elements (condensers and resistors) must be built exactly in accordance with the instructions. Deviating values in Ohms or Farad lead to an incorrect function of the MultiADCs.
All building elements are in CMOS technology. So one must wear an anti-static armband so as not to disturb the connection pins. Through this one is able to make it reliable.
With one's own, self-provided program one must pay attention to the programming of the chip LTC1293, since this deviates with the available hardware something from the data in the PDF document from this chip.
Example:
For a logical 1 at the data entrance of the LTC1293 chip one programs in ARexx "call serwrite(ser,'11111111'B,1)" and for a logical 0 it would be "call serwrite(ser,'00000000'B,1)." (snx) (Translation: dm)

Heise April Fools: MP3 with MOD Tracker Modification
In their first report of the day Heise.de offers Further MP3 Efficiency Leap. The article describes how, comparably to the idea that was earlier used in the "Tracker-Zeit," similar pattern inside an MP3 song may be re-used.
Quote (translated): "The idea for dMP3 is a quasi-reminiscence of the 16 Bit Era: because without good software instruments MIDI simply only produces sad beeps, the Tracker/MOD scene, which reached its high points in the 16 Bit Era, has reinvented itself."
Update: (1st April, 2004, 5:39 pm, snx)
Original title of the report recreated, after the April Fools joke was camouflaged this morning on account of readers' wishes. (snx) (Translation: dm)

Emulator: MaxUAE 0.8.25 including tool bundle released
The Amiga emulator MaxUAE for Mac OS X has been put online in
version 0.8.25. Different to Richard
Drummond's announcement on his homepage there still is no SCSI
support within this version. But there will be a bugfix
release available soon. With the pre-version the SCSI
emulation works already.
At the MaxUAE website there is also version 1.0 of a bundle of
tools available.
These tools simplify the usage of
Drummond's UAE port and consist of the following parts:
UAE Config Creator (to create configurations using a GUI), UAE
Dropper, UAE Game Loader (easy assignment of ADFs and choice
of the system) and the UAE Virtual Disk Assistant (creation of
DD/HD Floppies and
hard disk images).

Picture converter: SplitMultiImage 1.1
"SplitMultiImage" splits files that contain several pictures (e.g. multi-page TIFF fax files) into the individual pictures.
The new version fixes a bug which caused SplitMultiImage to save multiple copies of the same image for files containing only one image, when the datatype does not support PDTA_GetNumPictures.
