MorphOS: New Screenshots of the KHTML-Port
Marcin 'Marcik' Kwiatkowski provides new screenshots of KHTML-Port, which demonstrates the illustration of some CSS-loaded pages.
Kwiatkowski told amiga-news.de that a port of the project named "Sputnik" to other Amiga operating systems isn't planned for the time being.
When the MorphOS version would be finished, an adaption to AmigaOS 4 could be possible, under the condition he gets a relevant computer and an adequate financial appeal. (cg) (Translation: tz)

Tipps & Tricks: CD-ROM with Workbench 1.3
amiga-news.de reader Markus Bartolich has sent us a brief tutorial how to use a CD-ROM drive with AmigaOS 1.3:
"It is possible to mount a CD-ROM withr Workbench 1.3 by using
the BabelCDFS. After archive extraction the both files "BABELCDROMFS" and "BabelCDROMCtrl" must be copied to the directory
"L:". The mountList in directory "Devs:" has to be expanded by adding the following lines:
* CD-ROM mounten *
CD0: Handler = L:BABELCDROMFS
Startup = gvpscsi.device/5 (Device-Name und Unit bitte anpassen!)
StackSize = 4000
Priority = 10
GlobVec = -1
#
Afterwards the line "mount CD0:" should be added to the file "StartupII", reboot... that's it!
I run that method successfully with a CD-ROM under Workbench 1.3 on my A2000 with a GVP-SCSI controller." (cg) (Translation: ub)
