Amiga, Inc.: Calling All User Groups!
Community has always been the backbone of the Amiga platform; indeed,
without it, the platform would have folded long ago. With AmigaOS4.0
approaching release, the community has taken a lead once again, with
dedicated individuals and user groups throughout the world working to show
AmigaOS4.0 running on AmigaOnes.
We are now at a stage where we are looking to bring the user groups
together into a more formal forum, providing feedback to Amiga, Inc. on
how best it can support the user groups whilst also allowing the user
groups to be able to bind themselves together in a mutual organization for
self help and support.
This new organization will be a crucial element in the growth of the Amiga
platform as AmigaOS4.0 is released and the community begins to expand. We
are thus making a call to all user groups to submit their details via this
form
so that we can begin the construction of this organisation and get
the resources in place to service it. (nba)

"Multiprogrammer" and is a board with three decoded 8 pin
universal ports. These ports can be programmed independently.
Furthermore the board has a data in port which can read serial data directly.

New and updated tools from OnyxSoft
The Swedish shareware-developer-group OnyxSoft released two new and
three updated tools:
AddLF (Version 1.0)
This is a very simple tool that makes text files that has no
linefeeds in them become readable in non-wrapping text-viewers/editors.
It tries to wrap after 80 characters but might go 10 chars longer if
it means not breaking a word. If a word is very long when AddLF wants
to wrap it will cut the word and insert a dash "-".
OnyxPrelude (Version 1.0)
This is a new fresh mixer for the Prelude sound cards! You can
test the mixer even w/o a prelude =) Everything concerning audio
can be controlled by ARexx! Everything concerning audio can be
controlled by userdefinable hotkeys! There are two different mixer
GUIs, pick the one you like! The mixer can popup on hotkey or
ARexx event! The mixer can close again after a userdefinable delay!
A very small, configurable and slick bevel can popup instead of the
mixer on hotkey or ARexx events! It also has all normal features of
a mixer, like the ability to change the display name of a channel,
hide channels you never use, reset the card on startup etc. And it
uses MUI...
DigiConverter (Version 1.1)
Now you can also convert from and to floats. Useful mainly for
handling floats where you only have access to for example hexadicimal
values.
DRemind (Version 1.66)
Now you can make your remind *Bold*, /Italic/, _Underlined_
and/or coloured in the remind list! Fixed a bug which caused Single
reminds to never pop up. (a 2<->4 digits year bug). --BAR--'s couldn't
be moved since they where excluded from the sorting routines in DRPrefs.
Which gadgets to be shown as default was not correct. See Main GUI
Settings/Show'n'Hide for other gadgets.
TheMPegEncGUI (Version 2.31)
Now full CDDB-support is built-in into TheMPegEncGUI! You don't
need to use some other program to get those CD-IDs from the net and
then try to figure out what file it was and load that into The_GUI,
all is now automated. Insert a CD, add files (previously leached off
the CD, or directly from the CD if you have f.ex. AllegroCDFS), then
select Obtain CDDB from the ID3-Tag menu. When drag'n'dropping files
into the file list window some menu options were not enabled. You had
to add a file using the Add-button. There were some dublettes and inconsistencies of hotkeys for the menus. Switching between Lame/Mpega
in Lite didn't work from the menu. The bitrate was not correct in the
full and Lite-versions. (nba)

SFSdefrag was debugged. The old SFS.lha-archives are deleted with update automatically, especially the 1.213 distribution
You can get quick information under: http://ftp.uni-paderborn.de/aminetbin/find.
A tool which could configurate the number of files in .recycled will be available until week3/2004. The tests are running.
