Online MP3 and ring tone generator from mods
Under the title link, Chris Hodges is making available a small web service, which transforms a selection of around 1200 tracker modules into high quality MP3's on-the-fly (with UADE and Lame).
Furthermore, an IMA-ADPCM-compressed Mono-RIFF-WAV file can be generated from the first minute of a mod, which is suited, for instance, for ring tone for cellular phones (which cannot play back MP3's, for example).
Suggestions and feedback are asked for. (snx) (Translation: cad)

AmigaOS 4: Synergy client AmiSynergyc 2.0
Douglas McLaughlin's Synergy client for AmigaOS 4 has experienced an update to version 2.0. Using Synergy, a keyboard and a mouse can be used for multiple computers of a network (each computer needs its own monitor, however).
Changes for version 2.0:
- Almost completely re-written
- Upgraded to use the current synergy protocol, v1.3
- All mouse and keyboard OS operations now work properly
- Now a commodity
- No need for a reset handler, the server can now detect when a client drops offline
- Mouse pointer blanking is much more system friendly now. No longer loses the pointer image if you switch back to the Amiga mouse when the synergy mouse is offscreen
You can find Synergy server software for Windows, Mac OS and Unix at SourceForge.net.

on OS4, that way partitions configured to use an OS4-only memory type
like MEMF_PRIVATE can be mounted on AmigaOS 3.x as well.

Remote Desktop Client: Status update
Darren Eveland tells us that authors of the Amiga port of Remote Desktop Client will soon start working on Windows Vista compatability. The current version of the program will be demonstrated at AmiWest (October 21, USA).
Update (15.10.06, 2:30, cg)
Unlike originally reported, there is no new version of Remote Desktop Client available. Apparently there was a mistake when updating the website.

Robert Wahnsiedler writes: With our incrasing number of users the technical issues with our last provider were increasing also with the result,
that we moved the site to a new server. The forum of

the old domain will be switched, too.
Also I'd like to mention tat my public email address apex[@]a1k.org is not reachable since about 2 months

will be published in the next issue, Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computers reveals his latest project: Since about one year
Jens Schönfeld and Oliver Achten are working on an exact reproduction of the Amiga chip set.
The project, currently codenamed 'Clone-A', will be publically shown at the AmiWest

A500 will be shown which original custom chips are replaced with Clone-A prototypes. Visitors are invited to bring their own A-500 to the show to
test Clone-A.
The next issue of Total Amiga will be released after the AmiWest, therefore the editors provide a pdf with excerpts of the interview

AmigaOS 4: Cinepaint, Gimp, vim and Xfce for Cygnix (X11)
Edgar Schwan has published ports of the picture editing softwares Cinepaint 0.21.1 and Gimp 1.2.5, of the text editor vim 7.0 and of the desktop manager Xfce 3.8.16 for AmigaOS. The programs require the X11-enviroment Cygnix.
These publishings are alpha versions that means that not all functions are already available. The development of the programs was stopped because of a lack of time. But the author hopes that the software could be interesting for some users in this level, too.
