Text processing: Rashumon source code offered
Under the title link Michael Haephrati who is the author of Rashumon has contacted the users because the Wikipedia entry might be deleted. Possibly Rashumon, which was written in 1989, was the first Amiga text processing software which supported multiple languages. Also, he offers the source code, if anybody is interested in developing it further.

Workbench complement: BetterWB 2.9
Similar to AIAB, AmiKit or AmigaSYS, BetterWB is a collection of Workbench tools for AmigaOS 3.1 which are simple and require low hardware resources.
BetterWB works on all Amigas, is available as disk images and requires the original Workbench 3.1 disks (3.0 might work as well but was not tested) and 8 MB harddrive memory.
Changes:
- CAMD.library and Midiports preferences for midi supported programs
- DMS command writes and reads its floppy images from CLI
- Gzip, the very popular multiplatform compressor is now included
- LZX is yet another compressor
- PFS3 All in one (now requires less memory for usage and autodetects large drives)
- SuperPlus has been updated and no longer shows the infamuos beta warning message
- TSGUI lets you read and write adf and dms floppy images with an easy to use interface
- WBStartup preferences enables you to select the commodities you want to run when workbench loads
- New commodities: DontShowIBorder (removes icon borders), ModePro (screen promotion) and MagicMenu (flying menus)
- Printfiles tool has been updated with plenty of features and an arexx port
- TagLiFE is a simple patch for the utility.library to install a
new set of optimized assembler routines to get a faster TagList support
- Now boot in CLI mode with maximum ram to run memory demanding games and demos by booting without startup sequence and running add44k from CLI
- Text datatype was rolled back, due to printing bugs
- Lha can now adequately work under low memory condition
- Boards.library allows proper identification of Amiga hardware
- WhichAmiga replaces showconfig, as it has plenty more features
- PatchWB solves many workbench bugs
- Many minor tweaks and bugfixes

Interview: Mike Oldfield used an Amiga
Under the title link the singer Mike Oldfield ("Moonlight Shadow") told in an interview that at the end of the 80ies he used an Amiga to compose his album "Amarok":
Interviewer: "Musician friends of mine continue to marvel at Amarok. They can't understand how you made something that complex prior to Pro Tools or Logic."
Mike Oldfield: "And it was all hand-played as well. I used a very primitive sequencer and sampler that was a precursor to Notator, which became Logic. It was on a primitive computer called an Amiga. I would arrive every morning and plot something out in skeleton form, put it on the multitrack and say to Tom "Okay, we're going to work on that. That's the little sketch." Everything on top of that sketch was hand-played. There were no synthesizers. Eventually, we threw away the sketch. That was the technique of working on it."

Monitor switcher: SwitchControl with experimental DPMS-support
SwitchControl is used to control different self-made monitor-switcher. In this way graphic boards without a monitor-switcher (BVision, PCI-graphic boards) can be used together with an Amiga monitor.
In the experimental version 1.1d of SwitchControl the DPMS-support was added: SwitchControl set the AGA-output to "suspend" and waits a few seconds before it switches to the graphic board. In this way perhaps some sync-problems can be fixed which may occur in the combination of Micovitec M1764, 15khz and graphic board.

MindSpace is a program which can create spider diagrams and mind maps, UML, ER and use case diagrams. In version 1.2c the user-interface has been "cleaned up".
The author now explained that he is not going to develop version 2 because Sodipodi (under AmiCygnix) and AmiFig are already available as similar software.
