CD32-Allianz web site temporarily inaccessible
As some might already have noticed, the home page of the CD32-Allianz is
currently inaccessible. The reason for this is not that we are giving up, but rather
that we have exceeded our server space, and have thus been shut down
(Arcor has halved the web space to 25 MB).
Some cover scans have now been deleted, and we hope to get activated again
soon. Of course there will be another announcement on amiga-news.de when that
happens! Regarding the increasing need for web space we will then think of a
solution.

AmigaOSXL: Experieces Report V1.36
Dietmar Knoll writes:
In my report, I describe the experiences I have made with the H&P
Big-Tower. There have been numerous updates since the latest news
message before the summer break of amiga-news.de.
The chapter "AmigaXL" has been extended by the "Commands and Programs"
for this emulator and the "Settings" section has been retouched again.
For Amithlon, several changes have been made in the chapter "Installation"
and new "Commands and Patches" from the latest Amithlon-Contrib3 archive
have been added in the chapter "Amithlon".
Today I have finished version 1.0 of the GoodyBox. Since the first version
5 icons and 3 mountlists for Amithlon and a script for AC97Mixer have been
added. Furthermore, I have reworked the "Readme" file nearly completely.
If someone else can offer suggestions or files for the GoodyBox, he or she
can write them to me. (ps)
