Mail program: New YAM developer version of 21-Dec-2002
Since December 21st, 2002 a new developer version 2.4-dev [020]
BETA of the mail program YAM, which has become open source in the meantime, is now available.
This version is just a developer version, which possibly still contains quite a number of bugs, and for which no warranty and support will be offered by the developer team. Inquiries to developer versions by email remain likewise unanswered. Use it on own danger!
The changes made in the meantime can can be found in this document. Further information
is availabe at the Yamos on SourceForge
page.

Amiga Forever 5.1 Released
Cloanto released today version 5.1 of
Amiga Forever, the official Amiga
emulation and connectivity package for PCs. New features include improved
emulation components, new Amiga and Windows software (e.g. new Software Manager,
Amiga Explorer, ReqTools, support libraries, etc.) and updated documentation and
help files. For the first time since 1991, when the Amiga Narrator and
Translator speech synthesis components were discontinued by Commodore (who
reportedly was not willing to continue to pay a $1 per unit royalty), this
software, which was part of the multimedia features which inspired several
enthusiasts to buy an Amiga computer, is again available with the Amiga OS.
Amiga Forever 5.1 includes both the original and fully licensed speech software
in the preinstalled 1.3 configuration and a newer custom setup in the 3.1 ROM
environment. As for all Amiga sound output, the emulation makes it possible to
save the digital data, so as to preserve forever (maybe for use on an answering
machine?) the original accent made famous by various
This is Amiga Speaking
demos.
Amiga Forever 5.1 runs on all Windows systems with
DirectX 8 or higher (DirectX 9
has just been released by Microsoft). A cross-platform edition is available for
Linux users. The downloadable versions costs $29.95, while a CD-ROM version,
which includes additional Amiga ROM and OS files of historical interest (e.g.
Amiga OS 1.0) and more than three hours of video footage in MPEG format, is
available for $59.95. Upgrades are also available now. A free update from
version 5.0 to version 5.1 will be available for Christmas. In the meantime, the
Frequently Asked Questions
(FAQ) section at amigaforever.com has been reorganized and updated, and includes
up-to-date information and tips concerning Amiga emulation, data preservation
and cross-platform connectivity.

New Quake2 mods
Two new mods are downloadable on the Amiga Quake2 page:
- WarMod for PPC
- Asssault for PPC
- As well as an archive with a whole number of mods recompiled for 68k, you
still need the PPC archives and have to install the 68k mods over them. You can
use the 68k version's installer which does it automatically (if you add the
directory containing the 68k mod archives with "assign Mods: ... add" the
installation should work).

Audio: Aseq needs beta testers
Aseq needs beta testers, to test the forthcoming beta release, expected
early 2003. Please contact aseq@xs4all.nl
if you are interested. There are no minimum requirements for the system
as of now, except you need AmigaOS 3.1 or higher. And a midi setup would
be a handy addition, but not necessary.
Also you can now donate using the button on the site. It will entitle you
to a discount of 45% when you buy Aseq. The site has been updated and a
news section has been added. (ps)

Amiga Society: BBoAH and LBoAS updated
Amiga Society has updated the "Big Book of Amiga Hardware" (BBoAH) as well as the "Little Book of Amiga Software" (LBoAS).
Additionally Horst Diebel made a statement regarding "Schlachtfeld":
"After some people gave up Schlachtfeld already here is a brief statement:
It is correct that we actually are at some kind of a dead point. There are one/two errors which simply seem to don't want to be found for any reason.
And additionally we don't have that much time - so solving this problem will not be too soon. In parallel we develop the new Amiga map editor for the new Schlachtfeld firstly. For the weekend I am looking forward to publish some new pictures - actually a playable demo can't be published yet - unfortunately!"
