Programmer Wanted
Wanted:
A programmer, who wants to take over the further development of the source code (C++, 98% OOP) of SOMS.
It is just about game-programming like story/inventory/bobs, some effects, and resolving bugs. Everything
else is ready and easy to use. You will need an Amiga with min 20MB RAM and a fast cpu (68030+)
for compilation and an installed GNU-C version 2.91.66 (GCC/EGCS) or higher and GeekGadgets.
The programmer does not have to do all of the work. We are planing a cooperation with the actual
programmer because he has not longer the possibility to spent all of his time on the programming
of the engine. The payment will be percentage of every sold game.

Trogladite Software has released additional information regarding the email
tool "Excelate Victory". The tool allows the easy programming of email clients
with 13 commands.
The tool is started via the ARexx port. So every programming language and every
application software with the corresponding interface can use Excelate Victory.
The connection to an POP3 server, for example, is done with:
"CONNECTPOPHOST mail_server user_id password [port]". The there released
example script
contains more commands. "GetMailCount" determines the number of
existing messages and "GetMail" gets an e-mail from the server.
