First News about Papyrus Office (Update)
Click on the title of this article to reach the website of Papyrus Office, which is being ported to MorphOS and Amiga PPC.
It is a new office suite that fully supports PPC processors. It features word processing with desktop publishing capabilities, import/export of Word documents, and spreadsheet calculations with Dbase export, databanks included.
Supplement:
We inquired with Michael Garlich about an Amiga version. It looks like there is no version planned for 68k, however a version may be made for Amiga OS 4.0 if the required infrmation and specifications are provided by Amiga Inc. Right now the Macintosh version is available, and the MorphOS version is underway, with a demo planned for May, 2002. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiga Arena: Interview with Volker Grabbe
The lack of commercial software and the resulting gaps have been bridged well with
freeware and shareware programs just for the applications section during recent
years. But most Amiga users are missing an up-to-date browser and an office package
which truely allows to exchange data with other platforms.
Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena
talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the
target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".
This interview is available in
English, too.
Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little
team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate
in this project, please contact
Volker Grabbe for more information.
Olaf Köbnik: "Dear Amiga users, it would be nice if numerous developers would come to
work on this project. The way users are fighting each other is incomprehensible to me. We all
benefit from such projects and should account ourselves happy for still having enthusiasts in the
Amiga section, who "sacrify" their spare time for us and the Amiga. Deliberately I did not mention
any comparable product here, because this message mainly intends to call attention for OpenOffice!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

peer2peer Morpheus changing protocoll
The peer2peer file sharing system ´Morpheus´ is changing the file sharing protocoll.
Since the start of Morpheus the FastTrackSystem was used, which had some security gaps. After the
change Morpheus users could not log into the system, because the existing software was not
compatible with the Morpheus client any more. Morpheus now is about to use the Gnutella protocoll.
If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and
video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).
There already is an unfinished Gnutella client called AmiGnut for the Amiga on Aminet. Sources are available in
StormC format.

NARR-Site reactivated
Richard Kapp:
My personel website, known by many as NARR site, was not accessibel for
several months. But meanwhile I've found another server.
I completely redesigned the site and added new sections, graphics, cartoons,
backgrounds, and more. The Amiga download sections continues to exist with all
of my programs like CoolCALC, PlayGUI, 3pmGUI, and many more for download.

Remedy Systems supporting AMIGA - AmiDynDNS Version 0.9
Costel Mincea is happy to announce that the Remedy Systems OHG will support the
Amiga from now on. Remedy Systems is a quite young software and web design company and
decided to develope software for the Amiga, too.
First there will be little but useful tools released. The DynDNS client
´AmiDynDNS´ was the first one and is available in version 0.9 at the download
section. More sophisticated applications are scheduled.
DynDNS Client AmiDynDNS v0.9
AmiDynDNS is a command line based client or the DynDNS.org service. The new version fixes
some bugs and implements many new functions.
- Complete DynDNS support (DynDNS, StatDNS, CustomDNS, and
all options).
- SMC barricade router support (IP directly from DSL router).
- New config file format (optional), to take all the new options.
- Local IP addresses are scanned now.
- Current hosts will not be updated again (prevents hosts from being locked by DynDNS).
Of course AmiDynDNS still offers the "old" functions like optional web based IP recognition or
the optional log file. More information can be found under the title link or from the AmigaGuide
coming with the archive.
Costel Mincea: "For the rest I would like to apologize to those, who wanted to use v0.82 and had
to take some crashes due to my inattention. Sorry!"

Coyote Flux Presents - AuroraRadio
Coyote Flux is proud to announce "AuroraRadio", one of the first internet
radio stations to broadcast Amiga Game and Demo modules in between its
normal programming. On request a SID tune hour will be integrated in the
evenings.
What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed
at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts
such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted.
Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not
aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical
music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well
done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7
Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie
Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker
Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and
Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.
The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history
and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website
will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for
"auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.
Kind Regards,
Coyote Flux
