AROS: StartWinAros enables easy file transfer from Windows
StartWinAros is a Program to do a easy transfer from the Windows to the
AROS Side.
(Screenshot).
It needs only a folder with the source Files and the
WinAROS-installation as destination.
A ISO-File which includes the Files will be generated, WinAROS will be
started with the correct configuration and the ISO-file will be
mounted as CD-ROM under AROS after a Mouseclick.
StartWinAros requires the actual QEmu-Version. But it is possible to
mount the ISO-file under older WinAROS-Version and the
VirtualPC-Version of WinAros.
StartWinAros includes a installation and a deinstalltion routine.

Filesystem: Ext2FS 0.24 with write support without debug output
With version 0.24, Marek Szyprowski has now released the first public version of his driver Ext2FS, which includes write support without debug information. Ext2FS makes working with the Second Extended FileSystem possible under MorphOS and AmigaOS 3.x.
The write support was tested for more than a year, in which hundreds of gigabytes of data was transferred. Here, the filesystem worked very stable and never led to serious damages to the drive structure. However, please read the disclaimer before you use Ext2FS.

Flayer makes Flash-Videos usable for Amiga Users
Robert William's ARexx-Skript Flayer makes flash videos, which are offered for example from the popular video hoster youtube.com, usable for users of AmigaOS. The script searches within the indicated website for the url of the video and saves it at the local hard disk, wherefrom it can be watched with MPlayer.
The offered first beta release needs AWeb and MPlayer (experimental preview 3 or newer) and doesn't support streaming yet. Because it is a pure ARexx-script, theoretically Flayer should work under Morphos as well. (cg) (Translation: tz)
