to a new network with a flatrate. So expect our server to be unreachable
from Wednesday 22nd of May until the IP addresses have changed everywhere.
If you need to access the machine anyway, its new IP address will be
195.143.191.17. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Amiga Future: interview with Matthias Gietzelt (author of Emperor)
"Emperor" is a kind of object orientated programming language for the Amiga that
is happily available for free (giftware) on the Aminet or directly from the
author. A good thing is also that the program is in continuous development by
the programmer Matthias Gietzelt and a version for MorphOS is already planned,
too. That's enough reason to get to know the person behind "Emperor" better and
ask for an interview. The interview was done by Anton Preinsack and can be found
following the title link.

Amithlon: second contribution archive released
On the Amithlon site (title link) of Bernie Meyer can the following message be
read:
New on 18th of May 2002: The second collection of new and enhanced patches is now
here available. Please ensure that you have read the (unfortunately only
in English available) README.
Download: amithlon_contrib2.lha
With these patches should the problems with Pentium4 systems and VESA
framebuffer drivers as well as crashes of PGP 2.6.3 be fixed.
Besides that, there's an experimental patch for ZIP and LS-120 drives.
According to Bernd Meyer (Amithlon ml) should you install at least the patch for
PGP (patch2_vec.o) as it may also fix other problems. The other patches are only
thought for those having the particular problem.
Especially the ZIP patch is only for ZIP users. (quoting Bernd: "The things it
does are *not* nice.")

ToT: Exchange of experiences with programmers and musicans wanted
Martin Wolf wrote:
Because of a exchange of experiences we are urgently looking for an Amiga-programmer who is experienced in StormC gcc especially in the optimizing and who can help us a little bit.
Tales of Tamar has been ported to gcc. Unfortunately not everything works fine as it should after it has been started to optimate. Each help is welcome!
Besides this we are still always looking for somebody who wants to create cool Amiga moduls for ToT (Digibooster or Soundtracker-format). These moduls are not a must but they are a funny extra (besides the main soundtrack).

On our GFX-BASE we have created a special service about the new version 1.50 of Nikolaj Kiær Thygesen's painting program DiamondBOX. DiamondBOX is a painting program like Photogenics which offers all 'big features' of commercial painting programs but which is for free!
Just for GFX-BASE Nikolaj has written an English spoken Q&A for the new version. There you will learn all important news of DiamondBOX and much more. You can also download the new version from our site.
But there have been some changes on our website at all - we work on a forum and the link list has been also reworked. (ps) (Translation: dr)
