Development of SBase4Pro
Russ Norrby of Mr. Hardware Computers, the owners of the "SBase4Pro"-rights (formerly known as "SuperBase 4 Pro"), reports at Amiga.org:
"SBase4Pro can now be compiled with the GCC. This puts us into the position
to provide PPC versions - for example for the AmigaOne.
The current version is v1.36 from April 2000. SBase4Pro is
a very powerful and flexible multi-relational data base. Some of our own
products were made using SBase, for example Retail Escort and Video Escort.
At present we are working on many improvements, for example on HTML outputs or
the possibility to lock files.

Pictures from Amiga Show in Maarssen, NL
Martin Heine was nice enough to provide us with some meaningful
pictures from the
Amiga Show which took place
yesterday in Maarssen in Holland.
The photos were taken by Ron van Herk.
The event was well attended with more than 100 visitors. Genesi presented the
Video Microwave, the prototype of an STB case already known from the CeBIT and
of course the Pegasos with MorphOS in action. On four Pegasos computers as well
as an Debian equipped AmigaOne the visitors could form their own impression of
the current state of the two systems. Furthermore beta versions of Bars'n'Pipes
and FotoFoto for MorphOS were shown. The possibility to buy Pegasos boards at
the ComputerCity stall was also made use of. Furthermore the Access was shown
as well as Amiga merchandising goods such as the game "Amiopoly", Amiga antenna
balls for cars and mugs and T-Shirts from the OS4 tour.

Lego Mindstorms for Amiga
Today I have released the Amiga port of NQC 2.5 r1 on my homepage.
With this it is for the first time possible on the Amiga, among other things, to program the Lego Mindstorms RCX. This can be used to control robots built with Lego bricks.
NQC (Not Quite C) is a language similar to C for the programming of these RCX stones. Furthermore is the communication via the serial interface and via USB (with Poseidon) supported.

Tool: SRename Version 3.7.1
Constantinos Nicolakakis has published the final version 3.7.1 of the tool 'SRename'.
With this tool which works from AmigaOS 3.0+ you can easily rename files. In the new
version some new features have been added and bugs fixed:
New features:
Added "Filename" (fn) selector to specify filenames that should be
treated like filenames even if they contain wildcard characters.
Normally SRename can process such filenames in recursion mode but only
if they are present in the root directory, if they are not they are
treated as wildcard patterns.
"Filename" makes it possible to look for and rename such filenames in
recursion mode even if those filenames aren't present in the root
directory.
Added secondary arguments to "Dirpat":
"Androot" (ar) causes the filenames in the starting (root) directory to
also be renamed.
"Anddirname" (adn) causes the name of the directory that is entered with
Dirpat to also be renamed.
Removed "Persistentdp" that was used together with "Dirpat" because it's
behaviour is now the default for "Dirpat". Not having a persistent
pattern for entering directories didn't have much use.
Recursion can now be used with non-wildcards, for example giving an
ordinary filename to look for.
Bugfixes:
Corrected a bug in recursion where directories weren't always entered
with "Dirpat" if the names of those directories were also to be
modified.
To avoid this situation now directories are first entered and their
contents renamed, and the names of those directories are modified
afterwards.
Other changes:
The shell output has slightly changed in some instances.
The recursion bugfix has also caused slight changes to the shell output
in recursion, such as that the name of a directory has to be printed
again to avoid confusion if subdirectories in that directory were
entered and filenames in that same directory are also to be renamed.

Pictures of Niels Bache of the Amiga fair moved
Niels Bache wrote:
Up to now my pictures of several Amiga fairs have been accessible under
http://nbache.frip.dk/.
Although the people have earned much praise for their efforts for this free service
in my opinion there have been too many breaks in the last time.
Now I have found a new home for these sites where I have also more space.
Therefore I could add the pictures of the AmiGBG 2003 again and there will be the
possibility to upload the other pictures, too. In any case probably there will be
new pictures of the OS4 tour in Götheburg because I will go there today.
The new start page can be accessed under http://nbache.frac.dk/.
Please change your bookmarks.
