IRC: BenderIRC Update V1.b12 with smiley icons
The IRC client "BenderIRC" now comes with a new graphical feature. It replaces
the smileys commonly used in chats like :-) with little icons. The character
sequences to be replaced can be defined freely, as can the corresponding
graphics. Thus other texts can be replaced with graphics, too, so one is not
limited to smileys.
The first set of icons is already contained in the BenderIRC archive, but can
also be viewed on the newly designed web site.

Amiga Arena.
Interview with "Alfred Faust" (BarsnPipes)
Thanks to "Alfred Faust", "BarsnPipes" users are pleased about the steady
further development of the multimedia MIDI sequencer "BarsnPipes" Amiga
since 2001.
In the very detailed interview with "Amiga Arena", "Alfred Faust" not only
talks about the future of "BarsnPipes" but rather more goes into detail
about the advantages and possibilities of the program and tells how the
release of the sources came about.
The interview is available in German.
PuzzleBOBS GFX manual

Thus you have the possibility of making your own backgrounds and game characters.
Unfortunately not all sections of the manual have been translated yet, so please
contact Olaf Köbnik if you
would like to take on that task.
It would also be nice if some users have fun in creating new level designs.

Adam Chodorowski has made a new binary and source snapshot release of AROS.
You can download it from SourceForge, at the AROS download page (see
title link). He hasn't done much testing, but i386-pc does boot
on his machine at least. There's a huge number of changes since the last
snapshot which he won't go into (since he don't really remember them all).
One new thing to play with though is Zune (our MUI clone) which is
included in this release (in contrib).

- Use of the same mask data for several pictures is possible (look in the index under "Load Picture").
- No explanation text at the pointer during an automatic course.
Script Shell 1.12
- Catalog-data updates.
- Interruption of compilation after errors is possible.
InutilisGraphics 1.07
- Bug in the ILBM loading routine overcome (when Chunks have uneven lengths).
- Data name now disappears, when "close" button is pushed.
- Logical suggestions of data names also for mask data (see 1.05)
- Catalog data updated.

The tournament starts at 2 pm [believe this refers to Central European Time, East Coast US would be 6 hours earlier -DM]. Whoever wants to participate should rendezvouz a half hour before in the IRC channel #Amiga Fun. You'll find the IRC server information under the title link.
It's FreeCiv version 1.12 (Amiga 1.16) that we're using!
Here are the URLs to the Amiga and PC versions:
Amiga: freeciv-1.12.0.lzx
PC-Win: freeciv-1.12.0-gtk-win-1.zip
The game is being organized by OEmer and TriMa, come and chat with them if you have questions! (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiga Future: Question to all Amiga dealers concerning the new child protection
Andreas Magerl writes: "In a short time the new child protection law will come into force. According to this law every game and CD-ROM purchased in Germany must be checked for an age certification. Currently that costs about 500 Euros [about $500 -DM] which makes it uneconomical for every Amiga game. The same thing probably applies to the Mac Market.
I would like to hear from Amiga manufacturers and dealers if they have been able to make sense of this? How are the individual firms reacting? How do they see the future?
Even now, when the law has not yet come into force, should we not react as quickly as possible, otherwise it'll all soon be over with the Amiga market. Sticking our heads in the sand is nothing. Challenges to this law cost 50,000 Euros and no-one can afford that!" (ps) (Translation: dm)

IRC: Guidance for #AmigaFun Visitors
The #AmigaFun IRC channel announces: On account of problems with the provider the server acid.de.eu.phat-net.de is offline. Connected to this is also the unfortunate fact that all Phat-Net domains which end in ".de" are unreachable, because their DNS is offline. A solution is being worked on. We recommend for now that you try the following servers:
irc.phat-net.org
amigafun.ma.cx
The HTML chat should work. We ask for your patience and understanding. (ps) (Translation: dm)

HSMathLibs final versions nearly finished
HSMathLibs V.44.50 Beta 2 (for MC68881/82) and 8 (for MC68040/060)
nearly finished
Matthias Henze writes:
Finally the German version of the HSMathLibs is finished.
Betatests are closed and translations are under work.
After a very long time there will be a new version of the
HSMathLibs again. This is for all registered users. But there will
be a new demo version as well. I can't tell an explicit date of release now,
it depends on how fast the translations will be finished.
I am sorry that there has been no new version of the HSMathLibs for so long,
but there was no other possibility and there were reasons.
With my comment regarding the news
"HSMathLibs Version 44.50 Beta 2 und 8" from June, the 22nd 2002 I wrote some issues about that.
