Problems with ImageFX 4.0
There is a problem with the latest versions of ImageFX 4.0 and 4.1 under AmigaOS 3.5. Cycle
gadgets are not displayed! Obviously ImageFX cannot handle the chooser.gadget version of
3.5. Haage & Partner and Nova Design have already been notified by me.
I have created a little patch in the meantime, patching ImageFX to make use of the chooser.gadget
from the Aminet ClassAct demo, so the program is at least usable.
The patch should appear in Aminet soon: gfx/ifx/IFX-patcher.lha.
The patch and more
information about it is available from my homepage (title link) under ARexx-Scripts.
And one hint for ImageFX 4.0 CD: The installation cannot be started from CD, since the
Installer icon and the script have different names. So copy everything to hard drive (about
8 MB), and then start installation.
(ps)

Since over a year now, the Amiga Arena homepage makes limited special prices and freely
downloadable full versions available for Amiga users!
Due to ever changing specials and a collection of continuously updated links to Amiga
programs / products, Amiga Arena offers a big choice of informations from the active
Amiga world to the user.
The Amiga Arena CD-ROM is scheduled for release in spring 2000!
The CD-ROM will contain the Amiga Arena homepage with it's links, demo versions,
shareware and PD software! It will give an overview about the still active developments
to the (German) user.
I want this CD-ROM to be different from the usual shareware
CD-ROMs, offering a comprehensive, informative and up-to-date overview about Amiga
programs / products. To achieve this, I need your help! Please request further information
from olaf.koebnik@online-club.de. Thank

Free web design for Amiga users
Sven Kahlbrock writes:
Free :-) You have a private homepage somehow concerning Amiga?
I will create a design for you for free, according to your wishes. You'll only have to
write your pages and bring them online. If you'd encounter troubles or just have questions,
I will happily help you - all for free. Only a link telling that the design was made by
me, that would be nice, but is not required. For more informations or questions please
write me an e-mail.

New Amiga CD32 game
Andreas Etzrodt writes:
Hello CD32 owners! Aren't you upset that there aren't even "simple"
new games for your system? There you are owning an "Amiga compatible" console and cannot access
all games... Solution: home made!
We (Christian Steiner and myself) succeeded in burning
the Shareware game "Sharks!" (coded by Christian, demo on Aminet) to CD and make it run on an
Amiga CD32.
This is owed to Michael Ulbrich, who gave me many hints. Due to his help,
it worked on first try. Many thanks to Michael!
Why I am writing this? I would like to know if there is interest in expanding this game as CD32
version. I mean if noone would want the game, it isn't worth the time to "pep it up". And there
are license issues to clarify. You need a "Trademark File", which had to be licensed from Amiga
(at least in Commodore times). I will write to Amiga Int. if this is still necessary, and how
much it would cost.
So write me if you are interested in a CD32 version of Sharks!.
Besides, Sharks! does not have to be our last game for CD32. We can of course release other
(self written) games in CD versions. But as I said before, clarify the license issues and
judge interest in this. (You can already contact me anyhow.) E-mail: the_shark@gmx.de.

ICQ user list
Markus Schmidt writes:
I am planning to post an ICQ user list, including online status
and system used, to my homepage.
Therefore my call to all ICQ users:
If you are
interested in being listed there, please write me a mail with "Your Name, Nick, ICQ-UIN,
City, System (Amiga, PC, Mac, ...)" and a short note if you want the status to be shown or
not.
Regarding the online status, please remember this can be disabled in your ICQ
program. So it's up to you if and when the status is shown.

You can apply here.

New Image Engineer PlugIn
Visual Border grows and splits as 2 separate plug-ins.
Visual Alpha is that new plug-in. It allows you to create grey alpha masks, which you, after
once calculated, can keep and composite with other images later. For people, who are not
familiar with alpha masks; Think about a stamp or actually it's edges. This plug-in can
create you a stamp shaped image and mask with smooth edges. You can then composite it to
a bigger image. Ofcourse there are other more complex effects, than simple edge effects.
This could be great tool for one, who is creating graphics for video.
Visual Card-plug-in also will soon benefit from Visual Alpha.
OFFER OF THE MONTH
Register Visual Border for Image Engineer and get Visual Alpha for free. This could be very
good christmas present for somebody. However last day to order is 9. January 2000. So, if you
next morning after change of millennium, find couple of wrinkled bucks from you pocket...
Remember that all minor and major updates of registered plug-ins will always be
free for you. Already registered users of Visual Border will get version of Visual Alpha with
few effects for free. Just for being good customers.
Visual Engineering is a powerful collection of plug-ins, scripts and graphical
material for shareware image manipulation program, Image Engineer.
Plug-ins bring new features to Image Engineer, what even by itself can do lots of
image manipulation tricks. All the plug-ins are controlled by user friendly GUI. With couple
of mouse clicks, you can do heavy image manipulation. Logos? Click. Frames around image? Click.
Most of the plug-ins are free. Some of them aren't. I'm sure the few graphical
examples at new website of Visual Engineering should convince you. You can however try
demoversions of non-free plug-ins. Online shopping is possible by a credit card.

WBInfo 3.0 - not enough interested so far
Some weeks ago, we issued a request for people interested in a v3 version of WBInfo
to contact us and answer the following questions:
- Who is using WBInfo in which configuration?
- What are the things you don't like in WBInfo?
- What is your personal wish list for WBInfo?
- If WBInfo would be Shareware, what would you be willing to pay for it?
So far, we recieved only 9 mails. That's a little frustrating. If you are interested,
please contact us. If a minimum of 20 announces
interest in a Shareware version, we start development.
