According to a corresponding statement of Jens Langner on the YAM mailing list the
final release of YAM 2.4 is soon to be published.

and then upgrade to it."

IBM changes to SciTech SNAP Graphics
IBM uses SciTech SNAP-Graphics for OS/2.
On the sites of IBM you can exactly read which steps are necassary for installing it and
IBM offers the corresponding software packet for OS/2 for download. Very interesting are
the specifications which IBM/SciTech specifies on the site. Of course it is also
interesting that IBM could tie Big Blue to it which is a well-known name.

Sound card: Delfina introduced successfully
The new soundcard Delfina by Individual Computers was introduced
successfully last weekend at
the AmiGBG show in Gothenburg, Sweden. Meanwhile, all important
European dealers have been supplied, so the anticipated delivery
date of April 7th can be kept without problems.
The module that is available now is ready to be used on nearly any Amiga.
The included 22-pin cable for the A1200 clockport can also be used
to connect to an X-Surf Ethernet card in a "bigbox" Amiga.
Probably the most important reason to buy this card is the DSP, the
digital signal processor. For example it allows playing back MP3
nearly without CPU load. MP3 is a popular audio format that is also
used by artists to put demos on the Internet. Free music samples and
full titles are available on sites like
Entertainment-Mafia.
With the Delfina, an Amiga can
playback MP3 even without an accelerator in the best possible quality.

The development team has changed the planning. From here on the package will no longer be developed in its old form. As a browser
the Mozilla derivative Phoenix will be employed, in order to get slim, fast software on its feet. Something similar will likely happen to
the email client.
