Quake and Wolf3D for Linux PDA
Not one, but two classic id games were ported to not one, but two different
Linux PDAs! Quake
(see screenshots)
is available for the Sharp Zaurus
and the original Wolf3D
is out for the Agenda VR3.
Unfortunately in both of the cases the AmigaDE doesn't play any role.

DVD Press Release on "Black List" Start
The German Vereinigung für Datanschutz e.V (consortium for data protection), short
DVD, together with many experts from the fields of IT security and data protection
found out that users of websites often got forced to use cookies, JavaScript or ActiveX,
because there's no alternative version available.
That's why from now on the DVD publishes a
black list
as an official directory of such addresses.
"Offerors who cannot tolerate that users want to decide about their security settings
on their machines indepentently, should ask themself if they realy are set up for the Internet
future. Who thinks to have to punish users for their conscience of security by withholding
his pages from those, did not understand what e-commerce and online services actually are
about", said Karin Schuler, member of the DVD steering committee. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Editor: CED PPC 4.21b for MorphOS
This is the official MorphOS PPC port of CygnusEd Professional 4.21.
You need a properly installed MorphOS release as well as the original
CygnusED 4 CDROM to install the PowerPC port, the 68k version of the
program won't be modified. After installation you can still use the 68k
version of CygnusEd if you plan to install it on the same partition.
The updated ed frontend automatically detects if it's run under MorphOS
or AmigaOS and uses the proper CygnusEd main binary. Please note that
you need the original CygnusEd4 CDROM to apply this patch/ppc update.
It is available from various sources including Schatztruhe.
Fixes: Current directory is now correct if launched from WB, the -keepio
and -sticky arguments now work properly & printing shouldn't crash
anymore.

Emulator: SDL extension for UAE
With the extension which is available at the title link the
Amiga emulator UAE can now use the SDL library for graphics
output under Linux.
SDL stands for Simple DirectMedia Layer. The SDL library is
a cross platform library and offers functions for graphics and
sound output as well as querying input devices.
The version modified for UAE currently only works under Linux,
but there are some benefits from using SDL:
- It's now possible to use UAE in fullscreen mode as a normal
user.
- The emulator can now be used directly on the console (with
activated framebuffer), e.g. without X-Windows.

Game: New Demo-Engine for SOMS available
The new demo engine is better and faster, furthermore graphics have been
enhanced and according to
Silvio Kurze contains sound now, too.
SOMS is about an action adventure like never before released for the Amiga. Action
devotees well be have fun with the about 100 different enemies, numerous screen filling
final enemies and extended levels as well, especially if they get supported by 20
configurable weapons and the same amount of spells!
If the adventure devotee gets horrored by the above, it is to say that combats can be avoided
by cleverness, if you deal with the numerous puzzles.
Also the role game devotees, disliking the minimal possiblities to equip the characters in
action games, can knock down satisfyed! The variety starts with free naming of the 4 main
characters, goes thru the continuous enhancement of features and capabilities of your own
character, the detailed multiple-choice dialogs with about 100 persons, the sophisticated weapon system,
thru the 10 characters with own tactics, views and goals of life joining the force one by one.
