the whole thing as one big song. You can drop in your own 16bit 44100Hz
PCM WAV samples in the drumsamples/ folder if you like. Great for the

Texteditor: New name wanted for GoldED-distribution
The GoldED package shall get a new name, says programmed Dietmar Eilert.
The name of the editor will remain GoldED but the whole package needs a
different name (one which does not contain "ED" because development has
moved away from pure editor and towards a package for developers). A list
of candidates has been compiled under the titlelink. Further suggestions
for a new name should be sent by email to the programmer or should be
posted into the amiga-news.de forum thread. (cg) (Translation: nba)

AROS: nForce NIC support (Update)
Michal Schulz has finished a NIC driver for AROS to support the nForce, nForce2, nForce3 and nForce4 chipset. Thus, the Team AROS bounty 27 has been completed. The source code has been commited to SVN.
According to the author, support of even newer chipsets (up to nForce11 or nForce12) is a matter of adding proper DeviceIDs and setting few flags for the specific chipset (mostly which interrupts are provided by the hardware itself). (snx)
