File manager: Disk master version 2.5RC6
Rudolph Riedel:
I just uploaded disk master 2.5RC6 on my homepage. This version contains only bug fixes and no new features. Details can be found in the Readme, which is contained in the archives, too:
DM2beta.zip.
I would like to know if DM2 can be used under MorphOS, too.

New Quake2 mods
Two new mods are downloadable on the Amiga Quake2 page:
- WarMod for PPC
- Asssault for PPC
- As well as an archive with a whole number of mods recompiled for 68k, you
still need the PPC archives and have to install the 68k mods over them. You can
use the 68k version's installer which does it automatically (if you add the
directory containing the 68k mod archives with "assign Mods: ... add" the
installation should work).

Amiga & Home Banking: Survey
Christoph Kimna writes:
Inspired by yesterday's report BTX/CEPT Entry Altered I put together in the last few
hours a table with the Amiga browsers and the 17 largest banks in which the facts should be entered. You may click on the title link to reach

Mails may be sent to banking@def-con.net; I will configure and reconfigure the table.
Also under the title link one may reach the threateningly-named "Napalm Attack Page," which unfortunately hasn't been kept current over the

3D Realms: Source Code of ROTT Released Under GPL
The software firm 3D Realms has publically released the source code of the 3D action game "Rise of the Triad" under GPL. A porting to other
systems is therefore only as far off as the processing power is limited. You'll find more information about this game
here.

BTX/CEPT access changed
T-Online has changed its access to the old services. For Windwos there is an upgrade available.
Unfortunately Multiterm 5 does not manage with the changed protocol and reports a socket error.
So the comfortable online-banking with the Amiga has an end. Or does anybody have a solution for this
problem?
