Nailart: Boingball on fingernail
Our airbrusher Rolf Tingler has thought out a very special thing for the female Amiga-fans. Under the title link you can find under 'Airbrush-Motive' the probably only fingernail of the world with boingball :-). Of course there are many other nice motives if you consider how small is such a fingernail. You need a calm hand to brush the motives right on the nail.

MUI tutorial
Richard Kapp writes:
Because some users have contacted me because concerning my MUI-configuration and because I asked myself what I have used for it and how I have preferenced it I have decided to put a MUI tutorial online.
In this tutorial I introduce my personal configuration called 'CoolMUI'. Fonts, images and patterns are assumed which you can download from this site. But what I want to achieve with it is that the users may create their own MUI-designs. This tutorial is also meant as a creative motivation. But all those who enjoy the 'CoolMUI'-look of course can assume it.
In addition to it on the site there are useful hints to MUI, useful links and downloads (e.g. patterns which are related to the 'CoolMUI'-configuration and which you can only find on this site). You can also download the tutorial as a LZX-archive for offline reading. Have fun!

Matay: Prometheus-News
First Prometheus utility from an independent developer
PromInfo is a MUI combination
of PrmScan and RomDump executables that can be found in the Prometheus
software package. This small utility was written by
Daniel Eriksson. You can find it
in the Files section
and at his homepage
http://www-und.ida.liu.se/~daner964/.
The author will appreciate any input from other Prometheus users.
Fixed Voodoo drivers, more cards supported!
In the Files section
you can find fixed Picasso installation package (should stop the "no
suitable screenmode" problem). The Picasso Team reports that it should
support not only Voodoo3 2000/3000 cards but also Voodoo4 4500.
The files are as follows:
Network driver beta 0.17 available
A RTL8029 based network cards driver for Prometheus is available from
Files section. It is still
beta, yet should be stable and useful. Any found bugs please report to
krashan@matay.pl.
We would also like to inform our customers that Blittersoft (United
Kingdom), Vesalia Computer (Germany) and Virtual Works (Italy) have
joined our distributors network in Europe. From now on, you can buy
Prometheus PCI bridge also from them.

Messenger: AmigAIM BETA Version 0.9432
Richard H. Poser has released the betaversion 0.9432 of AmigAIM. It is a client
to connect wth the AmericaOnline Instant Messenger (AIM service).
Changes (excerpt from the history):
AmigAIM 0.9432 Beta (21. August 2001)
- When program quit, should just close all the windows without reopening the
Startup window.
- Modification to the Login system as I found that I was using the MOTD for doing
some final login routines and was getting the MOTD twice (and having a screwed up
login due to it - didn't stop from logging in though)
- Adjusted Relogin/Reset systems to show Reconnected in the Activity window, as I had
intended some time ago (Error was related to the MOTD bug above)
Richard H. Poser schreibt außerdem:
BTW: I'm starting back to school full time (started yesterday, actually),
so I may be slow on updating/adding new functions from now on (As at
least one person wants me off the computer so I will do more studying).

Back to the Roots: Amiga-News 232
"Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) is far
away from being dead. We are happy to announce that our
traffic problems are fixed, as we now have a dedicated
server in norway. A new problem which occured, ISDA the
site terminators, tried to shut us down behind our back.
We believe we fixed that issue, but unfortunately they
don't have the culture to respond email communication
they initiated themselves, so we decided to update and
not let you all wait for them further. Read more about
their attack on our news page.
Two new companies are supporting our project. From Soft
Enterprises we can offer you the addictive puzzle games
"Brain Artifice" and "Cube-X". Nightmare Productions
are the creators of the rpg game "Antares". Other new
games are: The entire "Premier Manager" series, Venus
the flytrap, Switchblade 2, Colossus Bridge X, Alien
Syndrome and more.
60 new scene demos from groups like Fairlight, Haujobb,
Scoopex, Ambrosia, Cocoon or The Black Lotus have been
added, while 150 new brilliant scene and game pictures
were included to our pics-archive.
We're pleased to announce, that the famous games
musician Andrew Barnabas has agreed to make his classic
tunes (e.g. SWIV or Double Dragon III) available in our
music section. And there are over 100 other new tunes
from various composers ready for download. And last but
not least we'd like to notify you about two new reviews
of Melcom's great Audio CDs.
Respects from yours
Back to the Roots Team

Coyote Flux moves to Paris
Since early July 2001 we have moved to Paris to live and do some classified (Amiga) projects. This doesn't mean that our previous projects are discontinued, but like expected these projects are slightly delayed. PPC680x0 2.0 is reaching the final state of development, with several big improvements and bug-fixes in the Floating Point engine and all the additional features from the PPC680x0 page.
The 3D engine is our main focus at the moment, developed to be a games engine as well as professional photogrammetry/mapper software. More information on the 'Mapper' (which is finished) will be released soon as well as some screenshots. Little note about the speed: Both the 68060 (80-bits FPU) and PPC604 (64-bits FPU) versions are written in optimized assembly language and the 604/233MHz runs the same program 15 times faster than the 68060/60MHz which is quite an improvement. The 64-bits FPU 3D engine renders 3 million "real" depthcued polygons in less than 4 seconds using several realtime correction filters.
We are working on an Amiga hardware project as well, although this is currently strictly confidential. Details will be released soon... :-) (ps) (Translation: sk)

Game: New move for H2
Some weeks ago I discovered a new move in H2. I think that this one is not very well known out there. It is a Wirnelattack using the bladecrook.
Just run and beat (you allready know this) and press one of the side-step keys at the same time. This looks realy cool :)
P.S.: To enter the tubes in the swamp just go right and climb to the top of the liana. Turn right and jump onto the trees. Then walk to the end of the trees and use the bladecrook to jump in one of the tubes.
