Ricco Clemens writes:
The MultiplayerPack02 for Descent:Freespace with 5 multi player missions has
been released, and all older MODs have been uploaded to the Aminet.
Moreover, I'd again like to draw attention to our Freespace Forum which
unfortunately is not yet being visited enough.

Amithlon and Adaptec 19160
The Amithlon emulator can also be operated with a U2W 160 SCSI card by Adaptec.
The name of the card is "19160 Adaptec".
This is interesting for all those who have a hardware test on their internet
site for Amithlon.

AmiChess: New version with increased playing strength
Under the title link there is a new version of AmiChess which has been
recompiled with StormC 4. Apart from some minor bug fixes, the WarpOS
version in particular has benefitted from the recompilation.
Calculation speed of the WOS version could nearly be doubled! Thus AmiChess
with the GNUChess engine is a match for "Crafty" (see Aminet), the chess
engine with currently the highest plaing strength!
I wish all chess friends a good time with the new version!

Amiga Arena: interview with Michael Lanser (Realms of Power)
Olaf Köbnik wrote:
Michael Lanser is developing already for some months a Civilization clone for our Amiga with the name "Realms of Power".
We wanted to know the current developing state of "Realms of Power" and talked to the developer Michael Lanser about his project.
The interview is available in German
and English.
Amiga Arena - Back in business!
The basic design has been finished and further rubrics are now following.
For the time being some software titles are not accessible.
But I may already tell you that with the opening of the download area further new programs will be released. I want to thank you for your patience and hope that you will remain loyal to the Amiga Arena!

Since today is the interview with Petra Struck
(recorded on January, 25th 2003) thanks to the help of the 'User der Nordseeküste' (udnimweb.de) finally online.
Download: interview_amiganews.mp3 - 6,15 MB
Sorry for the not so good sound quality but as the interview has a lenght of around 20 minutes
and I wanted to make it available to as many users as possible I had shrunk the file to the end lenght of appr. 6.15 MB (40 kb/s).
Soon there'll be a CD released containing an exhibition video and the interview in word and picture (I'm just doing the video cut). On the CD may be a little surprise (if the timing's good) - no more words about it right now. As soon as the CD's finished I'll tell you right here. Enjoy!

Golem: Opera-browser gets wrong data of msn.com
»msn.com prevents a correct view when visiting it with Opera browser
In a current message Opera blames msn.com delivering wrong style sheets to the Opera 7.0
to give the user the impression the Norwegian browser would not show the sites in a correct
way. Already in October 2001 there was an eclat because Microsoft had locked out users
with the browsers Opera, Mozilla and Knoqueror of the website msn.com.«

ReDesign of CD³²/CDTV-Corner planned - Help needed
We are looking for an experienced Web designer who can develop a new design for the
CD³²/CDTV-Corner.
Thorsten Schölzel
can answer questions via email.
Thorsten Schölzel: "The current design of the CD³²/CDTV-Corner is old-fashioned. With the
new design we want to present the sites more clearly and professionally.
Above all because it is the biggest homepage on the Internet which is for CD³² and CDTV.
I especially want to point out that the CD³²-Alliance is a non-profit business.
We invest our time and money. But we enjoy it otherwise we would not do it."

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.

amiga-news.de: New Glossary
Under the title link you will find a newly formulated glossary, which is based on the old Internet-ABC. In order to tend the slogan designations better, Sven Drieling has put together a small databank that allows cross-connections to be made.
Whoever has suggestions for further concepts can send them in an email to Petra Struck or enter them here in the commentary function - if at all possible, with an understandable description of the keyword.
The glossary has been reachable for some time through the upper menu in the last row, in the second spot. The link had to be led through to the guestbook, which is also reachable through the footer. (ps) (Translation: dm)
