Album '2000 B.C' by Bobby Clark
For those of you who were into the module scene a few years ago, you might
remember B.C. (aka Bobby Clark, the guy who filled up Aminet mods/med with
heaps of music) ... B.C. now has recorded a debut album, which is purchasable
at http://www.mp3.com/2000bc
The debut album is titled 2000 B.C. It features mainly electronic and new age
based tracks, as well as a couple of re-makes of aminet Octamed classics.
The album may be purchased online from http://www.mp3.com/2000bc, and there
are sample mp3 tracks on the site which may be streamed or downloaded.
The album was made with the help of an Atari 1040ST running Steinberg 12, and an
Amiga 1000 (YES! A 1000!!!) running good old Octamed 4.0!

NListtree Final! Version 18.7 final
After many beta versions now the new version of NListtree is available under
the title link. NListtree is a MUI class basing on NList capable of
predictable displaying data in a tree pattern in different ways.
Among other software NListtree is utilized by
AmiTradeCenter, NewsCoaster, Charon, RxMUI, Workbench 2000,
SimpleMail, etc. This list is continuously growing.
For faultless function the latest version of NList v0.90 (19.98)
is needed, which is available under the title link form today, too.
NListtree works only constricted or not at all with elder versions of
NList.
And now an appeal: I would be happy about information which other programs are using
NListtree.
Have fun with it,
Carsten Scholling

bplan GmbH: Pegasos First Hardware
bplan announce the first hardware platform to be available.
bplan GmbH announce the first
Pegasos prototypes
to be available. The fist hardware line is currently in progress at
DCE and after technical clearance will be
utilized for system software verification purposes.
According to bplan a first official presentation of a working system is to be expected
for early May, already. At the same time developer systems for software companies will be
available. As for possible operating systems for those machines
Linux as well as
MorphOS are supported directly.
In those systems the bplan GmbH for the very first time makes a platform available
including the virtue of an open system like Linux, as well as direct support for existing
Amiga® software.
Contrary to alternative basic approaches MorphOS is capable of running existing Amiga®
programs in a native PowerPC environment. The synergy effects between
both operating systems (Linux/MorphOS) as a result of this let the Pegasos systems be
interesting for both, developers and users.
