Astronomie: Digital Almanac III V5.0 available
After months of development the new version of the astronomy program Digital Almanac III has been finished. In the moment only the German version is available. Because of the enormous amount of data the new version is only on CD-ROM available. About 30 MB of new data has been added. The sidegrade price for registered users will be 10 EUR.

Some CD-ROMs of V5.0 have been delivered, but without German documentation. This can be downloaded from the homepage. The English version will be delivered later, because the documentation will be finished soon.

New features:
  • Leaner program
  • New clear GUI layout
  • Integration of Tyco-2 and GSC-2 star catalogue via Internet
  • "Digitized Sky Survey"
  • More online information from different object classes available
  • Integration of Hertzsprung-Russell-diagram for spectralanalysis of stars
  • Integration of the Hipparchos star catalogue as cross index
  • Integration of the "Virtual Moon Atlas" (25 MB data)
  • Integration of the Jupiter satellites J6-J13
  • and many more...


This is the last version of DA III. It is based upon OS3.9 and needs a gfx-board and a lot of RAM. AGA will not be supported any more. The last version for smaller Amigas and AGA users is V4.8. All Amiga CPUs from 68020/FPU up to 68060 and PPC are supported. It also runs with WinUAE, AmigaXL and Amithlon.

Have fun with the new version (ps) (Translation: gf)

Catweasel Software Updates
The Windows drivers for the PC-versions of the Catweasel controller (ISA and the new MK3 PCI/Flipper versions) have been updated. The most important change is the support for C64-disks, minor bugs have been fixed in the diskimage-tool. The new combination of programs also breaks a small record: A C64-disk is read completely in slightly more than 9 seconds. The archive also contains some textfiles for programmers who want to take advantage of the interfaces or the SID of the controller.

Download: cw_win_pci.zip (115 KB)

The Linux drivers have also been adapted to the MK3 PCI/Flipper version. Closer information about this can be found on Michael 'Rawstyle' Krause's website.

Tim Mann has also adapted his cw2dmk tool to the new controller. DMK is a file format used by TRS-80 emulator programs. Find out more here. (ps)
