UAE: "AmiRun" directly starts an application instead of Workbench
'AmiRun' is a patch for Richard Drummond's UAE which allows you to directly run an executable Amiga file instead of the Workbench. It is usefull if you want to run a hard disk game without dealing with the Amiga's Workbench.
To activate this function, you need to download the sources for UAE and AmiRun, patch the UAE sources and recompile the emulator afterwards. From now on, 'UAE -e filename' will start the emulator, boot the emulated Amiga and then run the program 'filename' instead of Workbench.

Found: Chinese AOne-product
Ingo Schmitz sent us this
picture to the topic "AOne".
We wonder: Who is Ve Wong and is there a connection to KMOS?
In any case the newest product of Eyetech seems to be smaller than a MiniITX - at least
so long until you will not add water. The comment of an
AOne-beta tester: "Tastes like chicken somehow..." ;-)

Apple: New iMacs still not there - old ones not available any longer
Curiosity at Apple: The company seems not to be able to deliver iMacs during the next
months. While the new products of the known series will come not before September to the market
the producer does not accept orders for the current computers any longer. It seems not to be
clear if this situation will take influence on the profit of the company.

amiga-news.de: Comment script improved once more
The latest comment script from June the 26th has been
improved again due to several reader's hints and advices.
Update
Bug fixes:
- A session already runnig had been started again sometimes
which led to an error message.
- URLs within the comments with upper cases other than 'A'
got no working link for clicking (Petra Struck).
- At URLs within the comments which include a '=' the
generated link was incomplete and not working (Martin Heine, Christoph Gutjahr).
- When clicking on "Notify staff about this message" button
the session ID was not passed through, thus leading in a
loss of the login status.
Changes:
- The [Permalink] and "Notify staff about this message" button
reside now in the brackets in the upper line together
with (News message, ...) (oGALAXYo, _PAB_,
Christoph Gutjahr).
- "Notify staff about this message" button as graphic
(oGALAXYo, cbs). Suggestions for a clear icon are
welcome.
- Colour for the admin comments is now '#009999' (Petra Struck).
- New: alt-Text 'Notify staff about this message' is
repeated as title attribute of the button (DaFreak, Christoph Dietz).
If you encounter problems with the new script or discover bugs
we kindly ask you to report this in detail (including
information about the used OS and browser) to our staff.
It might be helpful to delete all old cookies of
amiga-news.de. (ps) (Translation: ub)
