LowLevel gameport driver v41.21 is online
Guido Mersmann has created a new version of his lowlevel.library gameport driver that contains the following changes and fixes:
- FEATURE: New graphical gamepad buttons in the GUI.
- BUGFIX: reworked timeout mechanism (works more stable at high CPU load).
- FEATURE: several gamepad controller profiles in the settings added leading to a much easier choosing and setting.
- FEATURE: From now on you can calibrate a gamepad in the settings. If you then fix the settings you can save them now so that you do not need to calibrate them later again.
- BUGFIX: Warning requester added when especially under Amithlon a gameport address is used that is non-standard. This should help to avoid crashes if one sets completely wrong addresses.
- FEATURE: The tool GamePortEnable now only shows the offset as the exact address for IO hardware can't be detected because of an API problem of the OpenPCI library. Please use with non-Amithlon systems the tool GamePortFind, on Amithlon systems you only ghave to add the address $00EE0xxx to the found offset (xxx stands for the returned offset value!).
- BUGFIX: Bug in the calibrating routine fixed. The function with 1-axis gamepads has additionally been improved.

Amiga.sf ports - hotwayd v0.5.3
Ever wanted to access your hotmail[tm] emails
without having to battle with the web interface? This is now possible using hotwayd
in conjunction with your favourite POP-3 implementing mail reader. Hotwayd allows
you to do this by using the HTTPMail protocol, the same protocol that Outlook
Express[tm] uses, to access the hotmail servers. Hotwayd acts as a proxy between your
POP mail reader and the HTTPMail hotmail servers. Simply set it up as an Internet
service on your machine or another machine on your network and enjoy using your
favourite mail client via the POP-3 protocol to collect your hotmail emails.
Download: hotwayd-0.5.3.lha

New MUI classes
- 16.05.03 · Bugfixed MCC_SpeedBar
MCC_SpeedBar updated, and now SpeedBarCfg.mcc is fixed. Only program I know
that it failed on is Voodoo-X, but there might have been others. Fixed, anyway :)
Thanks must go to Kev Harrison for mailing Alfie about it so quickly. He also
mailed me, but the fix was out before the info made it to the page. BTW,
CManager 24.1 on his site also...

Jocke 'Zerohero' Sjöblom
- 15.05.03 · Even more MCC_SpeedBar & MCC_Urltext
MCC_SpeedBar bumped to v19.0, now, before you start to mail me that this
archive is broken, I know it is, but it's only some code examples, the
real classes are still ok. MCC_Urltext v18.9 archive is ok, though :)
On Alfie's site also MCC_BWin is supposed to be v20.5, but the archive
only includes v20.3. If you download Contact Manager 24.0 you'll get
MCC_BWin v20.5 included, and also get a great update of CManager :)
Oh, and Alfie, keep keeping me busy :)
Regards,
Jocke 'Zerohero' Sjöblom
