File system: SFS 1.263
Jörg Strohmayer has published the newest version of the alternative file system SFS for AmigaOS 3, too:
- Removes AmigaOS4-only memory types from de_BufMemType if not running
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.
- Removable media support was broken in 1.262, fixed.

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.

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.

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.
