Icon-Designer for DirectDos wanted
Marius Schwarz is searching a graphician who could 'just' paint about 1,200 icons.
Those Icons shall be used to identify datatypes in DirectDos, so it isn't really about
1,200 icons, but might be only 300 to 400 - so it's an absolutely practicable task :-).
At this time 166 (more or less good) icons exist. If you are interested, please mail
to Marius Schwarz.

Survey on the Airsoft Softwair Homepage
Andreas Falkenhahn wrote:
The Airsoft Softwair Homepage
was completely reworked on this
weekend and also a poll was added which will contain a recent vote
from time to time. The first poll has just been added: Many users
told me that they would prefer paying by credit card for my programs
(especially users from overseas). So I'm asking now if there are really
people out there who want this method of payment. If you do not
order any of my programs or the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold
Edition CD-ROM just because you cannot pay with credit card please
vote now on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
But please vote honestly! Thank you!

GFX-BASE: Test of 'WordHunt', Search, Links
Kevin Hansen has released an English
test
of the think-game 'WordHunt' by Robert/Bob Dickow on
GFX-BASE.
'WordHunt' is about finding words hidden in a box full of characters.
Moreover the website was extended at other areas:
the search function has been strongly enhanced, so among other things
searching inside of the scene demo database is now possible, too.
New links as well as game and scene demo entries were added and some days
ago the GFX-Base introduced the last week's Aminet highlights.

PCI: Matay and Elbox (Update)
Matay published an official statement about the letter Elbox Computer
sent to Fabio Trotta. The letter by Elbox bears on Fabio Trotta's test
of the Prometheus board on NoRiscNoFun and
is part of the statement.
Supplement 27 May 2001
Elbox accused Matay to use graphics board drivers by Elbox without permission,
whereas Matay refers to an existing contract with the Picasso96 team.
(Desiatox)
(sd)
Supplement 28 May 2001
Today also the Picasso96 team piped up to definitively invalidate the accusation,
"we, the Picasso96 team, just want to straighten out that the Voodoo
boards driver utilized for the test was written by ourself. After all we have
experiences with this chip-set since the MacPicasso850. Furthermore Matay are
respectable business partners of ours. From our point of view all of the accusations
launched by Elbox are completely weak and of unbelievable bad style".
Entire message here.
