Heise: Competitor to Microsoft's new Video Format
«3ivx is to be made available for every platform as there are Windows,
Macintosh, BeOS, Linux, Amiga, and other. A related player is planned as open source
project. Already for now there exists a delta version 1.0d1 of the 3ivx decoder for
MacOS Classic and Windows at the download area of the 3ivix pages. To play the example
videos Apple-Player from version QuickTime 4.0 is needed. Initial tries to use this
decoder with the QuickTime player under Windows leaded to less successful results -
the format wasn't recognized.»
Complete article at the title link (German).

Bonds v1.78 BETA3 with New Homepage
Sven Droege wrote:
The users of the financial software Bonds had to count on long waitstates for
updates. Since today there's a new homepage under the known address
www.programmed-excellence.de
online. Through a server change the access probabily should be improved
drastically. Besides that there's a new update v1.78 BETA3, which only contains
some small bugfixes. Additionally for registered users there's now the tool
"quotations updater", that can be used to update quotations also without Bonds.
The email-address of the author has also changed. It's now
Sven.Droege@programmed-excellence.de.

HTMLread v.48
Gunter Hinrichsen has released an update of 'HTMLread' on 17. December 2000 and
an update of the Genesis plug-in for HTMLread on 14. December.
HTMLread is an extension for the email client YAM that allows reading HTML mails. YAM
can't display e-mails written in HTML for now, as they are sent by Netscape,
Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails to a
HTML viewer.
Some changes have been made in the new version:
Two bugs were fixed, it's become smaller, condition images are supported, the
download manager now doesn't open his condition windows anymore when you're
offline, the downloadmanager now knows the option QUIET, better looking
condition GIFs and some more changes.
The Genesis plug-in toggles Genesis automatically on- and offline again for the
download of web-images.

Marcus Neervoort with New URL
Marcus Neervoort's homepage is now reachable under the new URL
http://amigapage.de/. On his site there are
among other things informtion about the history of the Amiga, Fleecy Moss'
speech on the WoA 2000 and pictures of the WoA 2000 to be found.
The move became necessary as the web-space Neervoort needs to keep the page
running wasn't sufficient anymore at T-Online coupled with other providers of
web-space.

aminetGUI is NOT offline
In some forums there is a rumor that says the aminetGUI and even the whole
AmiNET were offline. This is not true. he AmiNET as well as the aminetGUI are
online. Only the URL www.aminet.de is offline since the domainprovider has
problems. The current URL is
www.amiga-gateway.de/aminetgui/index.html.
All services of the GUI can be reached under this URL.
Alexander Kurtz, webmaster of the Aminet-GUI wrote: "I do not
intend to give up on this project.
Currently I lack the time to make all the changes I imagined to make, but I am
still working on it! I owe this to you, the Amiga community."
