MIDI: Tracks & Fields now For Free, Programmer wanted
«It was ages when v1.02 was released and it was shareware (demo).
Both authors (Anders & Dick) left amiga so Jonas Hulten has
been updating it for me.
As he has not much time for it he gave me the last source code so
i can search for another coder.
As i can't get in touch with the first original coder Anders Larsson
(also made far updated pc version) i can't upload the source for free
on aminet but i can give it to a serious coder who want's to continue on
it.
So if you are a serious coder and want to continue on tracks&fields
please
contact me and tell me what programs you made so far. You have to
know assembler.
In the package there is a full registered version 1.02 and 1.04.
There is a bug that comes more on latest version that crashes when editing
patterns so there fore i put up the older v1.02.
- Warning. Backup your old preference as v1.04 saves also screenmode u use
and it doesn't work if you change to another gfx card and use the saved prefs
from the first card. This should be fixed if i find any coder out there.
History:
1.04
- Used the 1.02 source instead
- Ctrl F3-F5: cut-copy-paste only the column the cursor is on
1.03
- Works on graphics cards - sadly the cursor looks wierd as a result.
- Doesn't scroll several rows at a time when playing. This is good.
- Removed writes to address 0 when config was loaded.
- Minor spelling corrections.
- Screen mode selection in config.
- Scaling now autoselects the current position
- About screen doesn't show up at program start

Club: JAUG with New Areas
H. Ogino wrote:
Japan Amiga User Group's homepage has now
three new areas: "Buy/Sell/Free", "TechAdvice"
and "AmiPics".
You can buy and sell or offer for free
your Amiga stuff at the "Buy/Sell/Free" area.
At the "TechAdvice" area you
can read technical solutions on problems that
Amiga computers and hardware have. It is, for
instance, about heat problems, etc.
At the area of
"AmiPics" there are many vivid and significant
pictures of Amiga computers, cards, chips, mice,
etc., taken by one of Japan's Amiga power-users.
Really beautiful pictures!
Many non-Japanese
Amiga users subscribed already to Japan Amiga
User Group (JAUG) such as from Germany, U.K.
France, Rumania and Mexico. So it is the time for
you too to subscribe to JAUG (title link)! The subscribing fee
is FREE, of course! (sd)

Textviewer: EvenMore Version 0.59
The freeware-textviewer 'EvenMore' has been published in version 0.59.
With the plugins it is now possible to convert HTML to text.
Download: EvenMore.lha (585 KB)
Recent history:
- Removed messy filetyping code. Created a plugin which allows filetyping, which can be easily changed using a textfile.
- Created basic HTML2Text plugin.
- Created a Linux manual to tex conversion plugin.
- Updated all plugins with an extra PROC, em_begin(). This is used as a pre-parse PROC, and is needed to tell EvenMore if it is necessary to create a new memory space for the file if the resulting contents from the plugin will be bigger than the original. Older plugins will no longer work properly!
- Thanks to Raul Silva for the português catalog!

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)

Astronomy pogram: The Digital Universe v1.03
If you haven't yet purchased "The Digital Universe" for the Amiga, now is the perfect
opportunity. As long as you are able to download a 11.6 Mb archive from our web site
onto your computer, you can now obtain the full V1.03 for a shareware payment.
The online distribution is in every way identical to the earlier CD-ROM distribution,
other than the change of format and a reduction of price.
The entire user manual is integrated into the software as a context-sensitive help
system.
For a full description of the Amiga version of "The Digital Universe",
we invite you to our web site at
http://www.syz.com/DU/amiga/. There, you
will find a description of the features of the software, sample screen snapshots,
and an online order form.
If you have moved on to a Macintosh or Windows
environment, we are currently shipping a version of the
software for the Mac and
are at work developing a Windows port.
If you have any questions or comments, please feel free to write to
support@syz.com, or phone us at 780-961-2213.

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.
