Amiga Future now also in English
On the Amiga Future homepage an interview with the programmer of Workbench
2000 has been released today. The interview can be found in the section
INTERACTIVE of the homepage (was AKTION).
Besides, the Amiga Future homepage is available also in English from today on.
The homepage has been translated 'by hand', not using a translator tool. Of
course, there's an English version of the interview in the English part of the
Amiga Future available. There's also a poll on the English start page and much
more.
For expanding the English homepage the editorial staff is still looking for
users which could translate the German texts every 1 - 2 weeks into the English.
In the English section there are two buttons: the first stands for the normal
and very up-to-date news of the Amiga Future that are translated online into
English using a translator tool, and the second leads to "real" English news,
powered by BoingWorld.

V³ v3.3.79beta
On 11. February 2001 Oliver Wagner has released the beta version
v3.3.79 of the web browser 'V³'. It contains bugfixes, improvements and
enhancements. For using this version a keyfile is needed. Besides this, Oliver
Wagner points out that it is a beta version that contains several bugs and so
mainly serves illustrating the actual state of development.
Compared against the version v3.3.75beta dated 4. February the following has
changed (among other things):
- Bugfix: A serious bug in the scanner caused all numeric
literals without decimal point interpreted as a 32 bit integer number, thus
forced also numeric literals not being integers into this format. For example
the initializing of the dates was affected.
- Bugfix: Prefs - When all cookies were deleted, this state wasn't saved thus
causing all cookies to be present again after a restart.
- New: JS - It is now possible to set form.target and form.action
[www.teleauskunft.de].
- New: JS - New functions: date.toLocaleString(), date.toUTCString(),
date.toGMTString(), date.getMilliseconds() and date.setMilliseconds().
- New: Layouter - support of percentage declaration within WIDTH and HEIGHT
of the IMG and EMBED tag.
- New: Layouter - supports now transparency in the background image.
- Change: General - workaround for erraneous URLs of the kind:
http://www.theviking.net?blah=blubb (e.g. missing '/' after the host).
- Change: Rexx - OpenURL was changed into LoadURL and the old OpenURL version
is used again. ARexx scripts and the openurl.library should now work.
- Change: Net - When following a redirect the GET command will now be sent
with the original URL as referer instead of the forwarding URL. This fixes
problems with scripts that check the refer and depend on the behaviour of the
MSIE [www.lycos.co.uk SMS service].
The complete list of the changes is content of the readme.

New InstallerNG
I just uploaded a new version of ´InstallerNG´ to the support site.
There are some little function fixes and the "Cancel" button for copying
works proper now (of course better than in the old Installer, which cut short
installation immediately....). Have fun!

Tales of Tamar News
Version v0.33 of Tales of Tamar is available for download for registered beta
testers. If you also would like to become an alpha / beta tester, please send
an e-mail to this
address.
The necessary documents then will be send to you promptly.
In version v0.33 trading for Tales of Tamar has been enabled. Hence trading between
an unlimited number of players is possible, for the first time. Type, number, and
price of a country's produced goods are defined by that country's natural resources.
Those natural resources are defined by the player's estate.
Thus estate in the mountains automatically produce goods different from estate e.g.
in the woods. It can be dealt in weapons, raw materials, mercenaries, herbage, corn,
and ships. But you only can deal with people already known by you or you got to know
from your scout on the map.

Develop External Libraries for CanDo?
Hereby I offer all programmers a development kit which allows the creation
of external function libraries for CanDo.
The library support was written in SAS/C, but can be adapted to
Maxon or Storm with little effort. Both, synchronous as well as asynchronous
function execution (by sub-task), are possible. An example is included which
illustrates the way it works.
The library gets opened from CanDo by the command...
OpenLibrary {library name} [,{buffer name}]
...and...
result=CallLibrary(buffer name,function [,arg1,arg2,...,arg10])
...will call the function.
Asynchronously executed functions are caught by the object "ExternalEvent".
The entire documentation and all comments are written in English. The archive
(280 kb) can be requested from youcan@amclust.de.

New Drivers for NetBSD
NetBSD-current, the development branch of NetBSD, was extended with drivers
for some more ISDN cards.
Currently are supported:
- BSC ISDN Master 2092/64 (1)
- ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1 (1)
- VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1 (1)
- BSC ISDN Master II 2092/64
- Zeus ISDN Link 2189/3
- Individual ISDN Surfer 4626/5
(1) also in NetBSD-1.5 + isdb4bsd
These drivers are in NetBSD-current and thus will be shipped in NetBSD-1.6.
Testers are asked to test the new drivers on their experimental machines (as
far as possible); production machines should still run NetBSD-1.5 (with the
isdn4bsd package if necessary).
More information:

Lucy's New Versions
lucyplay.libray 4.0 and Dwarf 0.50 now are available for download on my page.
The library offers functions for loading and playing samples (only WAV a.t.m.)
via AHI, joystick control via lowlevel.library, and a best mode function for
CyberGraphX/Picasso96 or AGA/ECS/OCS. Dwarf is a TrainerMaker or Cheater like utility.
Soon updates of my other programs will follow, too, e.g. Orbit, UnLZX, UnRAR, and
of course news about Drake!
