SN-EuroArchiv V1.2 available and new homepage online
The SN-EuroArchiv V1.2 is online at my new homepage which is reachable at
http://www.sn-archive.privat.t-online.de
or http://www.sn-archive.de.tf. The Aminet upload will follow later.
At the homepage there is also information and a picture available regarding the
real time economy simulation "Die Kleine Gilde II" which is still under development. The game will
see its first release in about a good four weeks.
SN-EuroArchiv is a coin manager, especially for Euro coins. It manages single coins, coin sets, special or
commemorative coins, coin rolls and "starterkits" in a simple way. It is possible to view the collection
in tables and statistics to help to complete the collection.
Changes since version 1.1:
- Save and print of annual table added
- Table with number and value of the coins sorted by country (country statistics)
- Look up possibility for the auction value of the collection within the project window
- Nominal value count statistic added
- Accurate numbers within the collectors value statistics
- Problems with buttons fixed
- manual changed to Amigaguide format and addition of history

First version of Arjuna, new Windows drivers for Catweasel
Arjuna is a modular, expandable solution to access floppy disks from many
different systems. It supports the Catweasel controller to read and write
formats not compatible with the standard PC controller. Arjuna is written in
C++ and uses Qt for its GUI. The project by Christoph 'Doc Bacardi' Thelen
now has its own homepage and a mirror on our webspace. The first version 0.6beta is available for download there.
Arjuna is a project that reaches very far into the past, digging deep into
almost forgotten knowledge about data storage. At the same time it focusses
on the future as a universal tool for data restauration and conversion. Hoping to find a lot of developers to contribute floppy disk formats, Christoph is trying to make this a Sourceforge project.
The Windows version of Arjuna needs an updated driver for the Catweasel to work properly. Download this version here (87 KB, experimental). (snx)

First draft of the GAUHPIL data base online
The GAUHPIL (Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List) is a list created and moderated by Dietmar Knoll containing websites of Amiga users sorted by continents and countries. Right now is the GAUHPIL migrating to a MySQL based database solution. Under the title link you can find a description of the current state of things and of course a link to the first draft.
The start page is now localized into German/English. New are the lists for each single continent. The users can be found as before sorted in alphabetical order below their countries, in addition you can now query single countries or search for single terms.
Things to do are a form for entering new links, a form (with password request) for changing existing links, a dynamic list of new links and a dynamic list of lost links.
For now, the GAUHPIL contains 867 users in 38 countries.
