Blitz3D: AmiBlitz2-rubric online again
From the Blitz3D web site:
"Most people noticed instantly that not only the design has changed a
little but also the rubrics have been modified. Although this site's main
feature is a lack of content, we're sure that this will change soon.
The most important change is the introduction of the section AmiBlitz2. I
hope that CjStroker accept my lack of time and won't ask me twice each day
when it will be really full up ;)
The visitors' book is also new. It's not only for the visitors of the
BlitzBasic-PC pages but also for all guests who find the AmiBlitz2 section
much more interesting. Now you have an opportunity to write down your
opinions and complaints.
In the rubric article the first review has been published. Blitzmaster was
so kind as to give me the latest and still unpublished version of Worldedit.
Enjoy reading it."

New cover scans at the CD32-Allianz
To be able to offer more information to people interested in CD32 and CDTV about
the games and applications for these devices there's now a new cathegory
"Software" on the CD32-Allianz home page with cover scans and partly also with
reviews. Very helpful, e.g. before you blindly buy a game or an application at
an online auction.

Amiga Arena: interview with Mauro Fontana
"Back from dead" - Mauro Fontana breaths life again into the already thought dead
editor BlacksEditor!
BlacksEditor, at its time developed by Marco Negri and distributed as shareware,
had later been continued by Paul Schifferer and is since the "BlacksEditor
Upgrade Pack 1" by Mauro Fontana cardware.
BlacksEditor may be counted to the best editors, Amiga Arena made a very complete
interview with the actual developer Mauro Fontana. The interview is available in
German and
English.
Once more it is up to the users if BlacksEditor will come up with new features
and whether we will enrich the Amiga with one more "piece of software" in the
future!

Filesharing: Audiogalaxy Satellite for AmigaOS version 1.1.1 (cvs 1.38)
There's an update to version 1.1.1 been released (cvs 1.38).
AudioGalaxy is a known P2P file sharing service. For Linux exists an open source
conversion named "OpenAG",
now there's a version of this for AmigaOS available. Further details can be
found in the readme.
The program can be downloaded from the home page of the author. In addition you
need the ixemul.library (at least v48, to be found on the home page, too) to run
the program.
For those who are not familiar with AudioGalaxy yet:
The AudioGalaxy client owns no GUI (graphical user interface) as it runs only in the
background. Just run the program, then create an account at audiogalaxy.com
and log in using a web browser. Optionally one can use the frontend FSWatcher by Thomas Igracki.
The file search itself as well as the downloads will then be done via web browser.

VGR: GUI Screenshots of the first Amiga USB-Stack
Under the title link one may be awed by the first pictures of USB-Stack Poseidon in alpha version. There is not a lot of informative text on the page, but one can get an idea of the nature and state of the stack from the screenshots.
First mices and keyboards, then cameras (web and digital), hubs, printers and other gizmos can be used and easily configured.
Poseidon runs on Subway (A1200), Highway (ZorroII) as well as GREX PCI-
USB-controller, and the internal USB connection of the Pegasos. (ps) (Translation: dm)

EZP@gerNG Plugin-SDK Appearances
The Software Developer Kit (SDK) shows in what ways the external call-service plugins may be programmed, in order to send EZP@gerNG over a Web gateway. This is a way for EZP@gerNG broadcasts to not only be sent over the built-in or bundled services and protocols, but also for any service that has an associated plugin.
Near the documentation of these programming excerpts the SDK demonstrates the use of the ezhttp.library and the different functions of a simple HTTP communication, as might be used in the loading of a web-page or the sending of forms.
The SDK is available in download section.

Amiga Society: News about Action-Strategy Game ´Schlachtfeld´
Amiga Society writes: "There are some new things in Schlachtfeld: Eddy has delivered a few unique things in the textures. This allows an optimized 256 color palette to be displayed. The new pictures are then placed online once again. For all of you who now say "256 colors aren't enough..." there will certainly be more colors available in some later phase. But now is the time to raise high Peter's old motto: the game should run on "any" AGA machine. And for that we have a restriction to the old version. A new alpha is well within reach - it'll be presented as before without a lot of publicity. We hope to have a new Beta very soon!" (ps) (Translation: dm)
