Sequencer: port of Barsnpipes for MorphOS
According to a message on morphos-news.de is the MIDI sequencer
Barsnpipes, once commercial software and nowadays developed as freeware by Alfred Faust, being ported to MorphOS. Read here his notes on the port:
"I've just started an attempt to port BarsnPipes to the
MorphOS - Pegasos - system. It is near unbelievable how
fast this system is. Compiling is done 20 - 30 times faster
than on my 68040/40-AMIGA. The loading process of the 500
pics for BarsnPipes at startup is done in 1.5 seconds (!).
Because porting to MorphOS is real a hard work, I must
terminate the further development on the AMIGA-line for the
moment. I don't know if I can port BarsnPipes completely to
MorphOS ... but I try it."

MetaView goes Freeware
MetaView which is a (not only in the Amiga world) unique convert program
for converting cliparts/vector graphics/cad-drawings is now Freeware.
On the website of Henk Jonas
you can download the program.
Additional to the keyfile the archive also contains the source code (in E) of MetaView
and the AMFF-libraries. Therefore you may develop the program further.
Henk Jonas explicitly allows you to use the source codes for Freeware programs as long
as the program will be mentioned. If you want to use the source code commercially
it can be given a licence.
MetaView supports graphics of the following formats:
WMF, HPGL, EPS, AI, DR2D, DSDR, WPG, GEM and CGM.
Henk Jonas, Berlin

Tool: SRename 3.7.0 final version
Constantinos Nicolakakis has published the final version 3.7.0 of the tool 'SRename'.
With this tool which works from OS3.0 on you can comfortably rename files. In the
new version the following features have been added and bugs fixed:
New features in this version:
- Automatic renaming when new filename already exists. "Noautoren" (nar)
option has been added to deactivate it.
- "Noautopsep" (nap), "Noautossep" (nas), "Autopsep" (aup), "Autossep"
(aus) options added to control the handling of prefix and suffix
separators when prefix and suffix is created or deleted.
- "Addonly" (ao) secondary argument added to "Prefix", "Main" and
"Suffix" selectors. When used it prevents existing components from being
modified, and components are added if they don't already exist.
Bugfixes:
- Redirection of filename and comment with "Tofilename" and "Tocomment"
can now work in Immediate and Reuse (cached) mode as required by the
user, instead of the previous fixed partially cached mode.
- Several core bugs fixed that prevented proper renaming with certain
action and immediate/reuse mode combinations.
- Parser bug fixed occasionally broke the parsing process if commands
with secondary arguments were used.
- Some memory misallocations fixed.
Other changes:
- Now the usage text is printed if no arguments are given.

Online opinion poll for Amiga Demo-DVD (MindCandy 2)
After the first issue of the DVD "MindCandy" which contained two DVDs with historical
PS-demos (the demo scene is meant here, not game demos) as pure videos currently the
second issue is planned. This second issue is supposed to contain the best Amiga demos.
In order to guarantee the best choice an online opinion poll was started. Additional to
details of the DVD production it also asked for the best Amiga demos.
So if you want to have the demos on your big TV hopefully many people will take part in.
