Bugfix: Amiga SDK with RedHat 6.2
Due to problems with the Ncurses packet Amiga SDK does not run on an unmodified RedHat 6.2 installation.
Therefore a Ncurses fix done by Daniel Robbins is ready for download.
Simply unpack the archive amiga-ncurses.tar.gz
under Linux using the following command:
cd /usr
tar xzvf amiga-ncurses.tar.gz
Now type in "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/amiga/lib" and then the Amiga SDK can be started with
"intent_shell".

Voyager 3.3 Alpha as well as Spurious Offers
Oliver Wagner released an alpha version of Voyager V3.3 on August, 4th 2000. This version is presentating the new
layout engine. This alpha version is not ought to replace a running browser, due to essential features are still
missing such like FORMs (objects are created but have no function yet), FRAMES, IFRAMES and JavaScript
(code is present but not active yet). Sending in bug reports, missing features or similar therefore is not
necessary.
At shareit.com spurious entries of Vapor programs at immense prices were made. These entries were not made by
Vapor and hence should be left ignored.
Vapor belongs to the MorphOS alpha testers and there might be a V-port, but at the time beeing there are no
fixed plans of doing one. Concentration points on finishing the new version for AmigaOS.
Download: v_33_alpha24.lzx (204K)

AmigAIM 0.9384 Beta
On 4th August 2000 Richard H. Poser released beta version 0.9384 of his AIM "AmigAIM". Since
the last release there are the following changes:
- New: Mail-Checking-System.
- New "Mail-Check-Window" for sound and notifications.
- The directory structure was slightly changed and should be readjusted at the first start of the software
after the update.
- At the first start one must select the user the program shall begin with, since this save format changed, too.
- A Problem in the relogin system was fixed. The start window was send to sleep mode under many circumstanced,
even if it realy should not do that.
- There are still some CyberGuard/Enforcer hits, but those could only be reproduced random, so far.
- The IO packet window now supports Cut'n Paste, so the last values bevore/after an error including
all CyberGuard/Enforcer hits can be sent to the author.
- Notice: In the case of Miami it is recommended to use at least Miami V2.1p, V3.2b or MiamiDX V1.0c -
with those AIM was tested successfull.
AIM requires MUI V3.8 and serveral custom classes.

Coyote Flux Opens Temporary Website
Since the 68k->PPC assembly porter/language PPC680x0 was finished a little while ago,
Coyote Flux has opened a temporary website at www.coyoteflux.tmfweb.nl
PPC680x0 will be released on Haage&Partner's StormC 4 CD
appearing in October this year. Take a look at the website to find
out more about PPC680x0, Burnin' Rubber 2000, Super Amicon and more...
PPC680x0 is an assembler program which is able to convert 680x0 sourcecode
to PPC sourcecode. This could change all 68k programs easily to PPC. The
programmers, by the way, are the guys who had to pose as a popular
camera subject
with their Amiga bobble hats on almost all fairs.
