Instant Messenger: AmiComSys Version 2.1
Håkan Parting released version 2.1 of his program AmiComSys.
Changes:
- BUGFIX: When all the checkboxes in the Client list settings/Show which information were checked the computer crashed.
So if you had that setting in v. 1.34 and tried 2.0 the computer just crashed.
- BUGFIX: It didn't work to install plugins directly from the plugin installer, by setting
the environmental variable ACS_INSTALLPLUGIN.

Emulator: Amiga Forever 5 Benchmark
Andreas Steup writes:
In the stated URL you can find a few short Benchmark-Tests for
WinUAE-Emulators from the Amiga Forever 5 package.
Result: A 300MHz Pentium is almost enough to emulate a 68040 Amiga with 80MHz,
which means double the speed.
The English version of the tests are available.

Library: SDL V1.2.3 Beta
On 2. December 2001 Gabriele Greco published the Beta-version
1.2.3 of the Multimedia-Library "SDL" for AmigOS and MorphOS.
All the improvements and bug fixes of 1.2.3. should
have been implemented in this version.
The following amiga-specific improvements have been made:
- Completely compatible with libnix (the 68k as well as the
MorphOS version). Some demos (testsprite, testpalette)
show that the libnix-version is 30% faster than the ixemul-version
- Bugfix: A crash or a corruption of the memory list was possible
in the hardware-accellerating and full-screen mode.
- Modification: General clean up of the CyberGFX-Codes. Maybe
this has also removed the Colors-Bug of Picasso 96 (wasn't tested).
Gabriele Greco is hoping to finish the final version by next weekend
in order to add the new sources to the official Source and
Development-Package on the official site
SDL-Site.
The archive contains: include, docs, gcc 68k lib, SAS/C 68k lib
and gcc MorphOS PPC lib.
The SDL enables the
platform-independent programming of games and multimedia products.

VNC: zvnc V1.0
On 1st December 2001 David Gerber published Version 1.0
of VNC-Clients "zvnc".
This is a small VNC-Client without Display-Support which is
supposed to controll a second PC with monitor.
The advantage of "zvnc" is that only minimal data is
transferred through the network since there are no graphics.
In this way the mouse and keyboard input is very direct.
"zvnc" applies to AmigaOS V2.0 (68000),
AmigaOS V3.0 (68020) and MorphOS (PPC).

amiga-topcool: Free classified advertisements relaunched
Daniel Orth writes:
Apart from the new design of our webpage for the Amiga-Magazine
"amiga-topcool" we have also designed the section for the
classified ads in a new way. The advantage is that you don't have
to wait that somebody inserts an advert since this is now done by
a small CGI-Script.
It's also now possible to buy advert space by means of an auction.
Offers from 1 DM onwards are accepted.

BASIC: AmiBlitz User-Site now also for Amiga-Browser
Jens [bruZard] Henschel writes:
I have completely changed the design for the Blitzbasic-Site
(www.blitz3d.x-cellence.de)
since Amiga-Browser wasn't able to bring it up.
From now on problems won't come up any more.
Should it nevertheless come to some incompatibilities here and there,
please inform me, so that I can solve the problem.
Contact address: bruzard@x-cellence.de.
The site and the forum have been enlarged by an AmiBlitz-Section
because of wide-spread interest. This will be filled up over the
next few days. First, a tutorial for beginners will be published
so that the Blitzbasic-Community might increase after all.
happy programming,

Amiga-Society.de: It's all over
Horst Diebel writes:
1.12.2001 - This is the end of the Amiga-Society.de.
Why should we create such a site that is of no use at all and that
only causes trouble?
This question has occurred to me over the last few weeks
more and more frequently.
After our relaunch we had more and more attacks on our site and in particular
on my PC, that is to say my e-mail address. A week ago it finally happened
that I gradually switched off the e-mail addresses because only virulent
e-mails were arriving.
The initiators will know what I mean.... maybe they have reached their objective
in this way.
By the end of the year I will have the site switched off! The competition
will of course be finished - relevant addresses will be available before
the end of the year and approximately until the 6th January 2002.
The announcement of the lucky winners will be around mid-January 2002.
After this event I will retire completely. The project "battlefield"
will certainly be continued by some of the participants - alternative
Internet addresses will probably be announced very soon.
BI would like to thank all the people who have helped create the site.
Bye....
Horst
