Individual Computers: xsurfadsl.device Snowflake-Bugfix
A new update of the PPPoE-driver for our networking card X-Surf can be
found in the support-area of our website. The last bug in the core
routines has been removed, so a connection to the internet is stable
at full transfer rates for several hours. Since this version has only
been tested shortly, it remains in beta state. The archive contains
an English readme file for the first time.
The driver is free for owners of the X-Surf ethernet card. It lets
you connect to DSL and cable modem services that use the
PPPoE-standard without the need to buy expensive additional software.
In Germany DSL is marketed as T-DSL by the Deutsche Telekom, but
smaller providers like 1&1, Hansenet and some local services also
offer this broadband technology.
We want to remind our German customers of the new terms and
conditions at the Telekom: If you order DSL before January 1st,
you'll get the DSL modem for free. After that, you'll have to
pay 119,95 EUR for the modem! (ps)

Textviewer: EvenMore Updates
I have reworked the GUI pens code to allow the user to select which
colours they want for each part of the window using slider gadgets
instead of the old pens method. EvenMore will automatically allocate
these and shaded pens of that colour for the bevelled edges of the GUI.
I have created a new ProWrite2text conversion plugin. All plugins are
now updated, to now show which plugin is being used for the current file
using the keyword %pl in the info bar string.
Also, Russian and Portugues catalogs now available courtesy of Raul Silva
and Vitaliy Chepeleff! Download now for free at www.evenmore.co.uk (title link)! (ps)

LucasArts Scumm games port for MorphOS
Rüdiger Hanke writes in the forum:
At first Merry Christmas to all of you :-))
I do not want to release something for MorphOS before there is a stable running beta version of it but now it is Christmas and because of that I released a little SDL-port.
I discovered it a few days ago was excited about this project, and maybe you too, if you like the old style adventures and who are annoyed of the 3D-boom and the it-is-a-joke-but-it-has-rendered-gfx-games are not the ones you like: http://www.muenster.de/~tomjoad/svm.html.
You cannot reach it from the main page because I want keep the MorphOS pages separeted from the Amiga pages and the MorphOS pages are not finished yet.
ScummVM is an interpreter for the great old LucasArts SCUMM (Script Creation Utility for Maniac Mansion) adventures. Games currently reported to work include the Amiga classics The Secret of Monkey Island, Monkey Island II: LeChuck's Revenge and Indiana Jones and the Fate of Atlantis, plus Day of the Tentacle and (very incomplete - just for a first look) my own favorite Sam & Max Hit the Road, which have never been available on the Amiga. The ScummVM team is apparently working on support of The Dig and Full Throttle as well. (ps) (Translation: gf)

Tool: WBTools Version 1.1
Martin Steigerwald:
Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I released a new version (1.1) of WB-Tools.
WB-Tools is a collection of arexx-scripts for adding additional functions to the workbench. These scripts are described in my workshop "Komfortabel: Workbench mit ARexx erweitern" published in issue no. 1/2002 of the Amiga-Magazin. WB-Tools is a invitation for programming your own addons. It is easy to install and to use it.
Features:
- Simple keyboardfunctions via WB-Keys: DEL delets the selected object, Enter opens the selected object, Backspace moves to the parent window, Escape closes the current window, furthermore there are the arrow-keys at the numberblock (with and without the shift-key). I do not reveal theire functions but these functions make the Workbench complete.
- Menu-functionen via WB-Menus: fix all open windows, Store and restore the psoitions of the open windows, close all windows.
- AmiDock-functionen via WB-Toolbar: compression of selected items (lha, lzx, zip), display the content of a lha-, lzx- or zip-archive, create a new drawer, rename.
Further details can be found in the readme at the title link.
Download: WB-Tools.lha
