Route planner: AmiAtlas update in progress
After we have not heard any news of AmiATLAS for some time now there are some good ones:

Although there were much rumour the development of AmiATLAS will be continued. But it takes a little bit of time to program new features and to fix old bugs.

Within the next two weeks there will be a new update with extended and bug fixed cards and with new and improved additional tools. All changes will be contained in new delivered pieces of AmiATLAS 6.

Christoph Gutjahr now manages the newsletter and the mailing list of AmiATLAS. If you want to subscribe then simply send an empty mail to AmiATLAS-subscribe@freelists.org.

If you have ideas of improvement or wishes you can directly send a mail to AmiATLAS@gmx.net.

We would like to thank all Amiga freaks who rely on us and support the development! (ps) (Translation: dr)

3CaDo: Extraction, Preparation and Creation of Video-, Audio- und Data-CDRs
3CaDo is a program pack that is still under development. The software concerns itself with the extraction, preparation and creation of video-, audio- und data-CDRs.

ViCaDo (Video-Can-Do) is in the betaphase. More information is available right here (German.)

AiCaDo (Audio-Can-Do) is in the alphaphase.

DiCaDo (Data-Can-Do) is in the alphaphase.

In the course of working on this program pack a couple of small, helpful tools were created, and I don't wish to keep them from Amiga users.

GetMpegInfo can provide information about mpeg streams.(Video-, Audio- und System-Streams). With shell- and Workbench-versions.

GetAudioInfo is helpful with providing Audio-Information (16SV, 8SVX, AIFC, AIFF, AU/SND, MAESTRO, MAUD, MP1/2/3, VOC, WAVE). With shell- and Workbench-versions. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amithlon: Change to the FAQ-page of Bernd Meyer
As reported, on 02.04.2002 Bernie Meyer made a public statement of the sales situation of Amithlon. Apparently no agreement has been reached, because on 16.04.2002 Bernie Meyer changed his FAQ page as follows:

I want to have it!
That's not possible right now, unfortunately. I explained the license problems in the statement. However I hope to have a new, improved, and completely licensed version available soon.

And when will that be for sale?
Hopefully very soon, after the unhappy stuff is cleared up.

Does Amiga Inc. want to publish it?
Yeah, they want to. Things have changed. Nobody is happy about it, least of all me. Amithlon was always meant to be a complete solution, with fully licensed ROMs and AmigaOS. Haage & Partner apparently didn't share this position, but I am personally not ready to compromise in this regard.

Observation of amiga-news.de:
Until now we have just heard one side of the story, so we asked H&P about this sticky wicket. Unfortunately it's not possible for H&P to speak because the signed contracts between Bernie Meyer, Harald Frank (VMC) und H&P clearly state these internal matters not be discussed publicly.

And Bill McEwen can't or won't speak either. (ps) (Translation: dm)

TOMORROW: Amiga: the Friend of the Player
There's an article on TOMMORROW about the Amiga, under the name "Amiga: the Friend of the Player." The article covers the topic of Amiga on the PC (UAE.) The article starts with this wonderful sentence: »Funny haircuts and acidwash jeans, no-one wants these fashion disasters of the 80's back again. But that's not the case with computer games. Even today the eyes of old gamers light up, when they daydream about the legendary computers like C64 or Commodore Amiga. Bring a new life to old games like "Turrican" or "Monkey Island.« (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiforce celebrates 1st birthday
Cj-Stroker:
Amiforce has today, the 17th of April 2002 its first birthday.

At first it has been planned to release the German version of Amiblitz for this reason. But due to lack of time this will likely not happen before next week. The editor PED has taken more time than initially thought. The planned bonus tracks will be a bit late on schedule as well. All that might be finished within the next days. That time also courses and tutorials will start.

The rest of Amiforce will be updated as well. For this the soft guide category will be opened. The start is with OpenAG. Later this client and AmiComSys + HL_Plugin too will be discribed in helpguide. Unfortunately this takes it´s time.

And here I want to thank all those people who supported me all that time.

Happy Birthday! (ps) (Translation: ub)

We are not the only possible licencees, but I guess that we committed to these conditions before anyone else. As a result we have worked in very close cooperation with both Amiga Inc and Hyperion throughout the A1 development program to ensure that piracy of OS4 is kept to a minimum.

New IRC client: BenderIRC version 1.4
The new IRC client BenderIRC is here. Full of functions and possibilities and totally different to all IRC clients so far for the Amiga. From CTCP to XDCC is everything here. Even the DCC SEND problem from the locale network with IP-NAT has been solved.

What makes BenderIRC now so special? Well, the complete GUI can be set up as the user wants it. Whether gadgets are there or not, it doesn't matter! Their size? That doesn't matter, too! Build your own IRC client! more ... (ps) (Translation: wk)
