MetaView goes Freeware
MetaView which is a (not only in the Amiga world) unique convert program
for converting cliparts/vector graphics/cad-drawings is now Freeware.
On the website of Henk Jonas
you can download the program.
Additional to the keyfile the archive also contains the source code (in E) of MetaView
and the AMFF-libraries. Therefore you may develop the program further.
Henk Jonas explicitly allows you to use the source codes for Freeware programs as long
as the program will be mentioned. If you want to use the source code commercially
it can be given a licence.
MetaView supports graphics of the following formats:
WMF, HPGL, EPS, AI, DR2D, DSDR, WPG, GEM and CGM.

Tool: SRename 3.7.0 final version
Constantinos Nicolakakis has published the final version 3.7.0 of the tool 'SRename'.
With this tool which works from OS3.0 on you can comfortably rename files. In the
new version the following features have been added and bugs fixed:
New features in this version:
- Automatic renaming when new filename already exists. "Noautoren" (nar)
option has been added to deactivate it.
- "Noautopsep" (nap), "Noautossep" (nas), "Autopsep" (aup), "Autossep"
(aus) options added to control the handling of prefix and suffix
separators when prefix and suffix is created or deleted.
- "Addonly" (ao) secondary argument added to "Prefix", "Main" and
"Suffix" selectors. When used it prevents existing components from being
modified, and components are added if they don't already exist.
Bugfixes:
- Redirection of filename and comment with "Tofilename" and "Tocomment"
can now work in Immediate and Reuse (cached) mode as required by the
user, instead of the previous fixed partially cached mode.
- Several core bugs fixed that prevented proper renaming with certain
action and immediate/reuse mode combinations.
- Parser bug fixed occasionally broke the parsing process if commands
with secondary arguments were used.
- Some memory misallocations fixed.
Other changes:
- Now the usage text is printed if no arguments are given.

Online opinion poll for Amiga Demo-DVD (MindCandy 2)
After the first issue of the DVD "MindCandy" which contained two DVDs with historical
PS-demos (the demo scene is meant here, not game demos) as pure videos currently the
second issue is planned. This second issue is supposed to contain the best Amiga demos.
In order to guarantee the best choice an online opinion poll was started. Additional to
details of the DVD production it also asked for the best Amiga demos.
So if you want to have the demos on your big TV hopefully many people will take part in.

Instant messenger: Jabberwocky V1.4
Tom Parker and Matthias Münch have released the version 1.4 of the
instant
messenger 'JabberWocky' for Amiga computers. Jabber
is an open XML protocol for a direct message exchange.
A connect with other instant messengers like
AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo is possible by using gateways.
Download: Jabberwocky030429.lha
Changes within this version:
- http.c - Added Content-Type and Filesize to Transfer Header and eliminated null character in the Header. File transfers using WEB Browser now work. Apr 5, 2003
- transfer.c - Eliminated superflous gadgets from File Transfer window to reduce user confusion. Apr 6, 2003
- userinfo.c - Added seperate update procedure for Transports to avoid double roster entries. Apr 15, 2003 (Bug ID 584725)
- roster.c - Replaced double contact removal with seperate removals for Users and Transports. Eliminated subscribing to Transports to avoid double roster entries. Transports are supposed to be registered and not subscribed anyway. Apr 16, 2003
- agents.c - Added line to clear agents list when connecting. Eliminates multiple agents lists when disconnecting and reconnecting. Apr 20, 2003 (Bug ID 550881)
- presence.c - Eliminated duplicate subscription requests when disconnecting and reconnecting. Eliminated enforcer hit that occurred if the Subscription Window "Accept" or "Reject" buttons were clicked after the last subscription request was removed. Apr 21, 2003 (Bug ID 554328)
- roster.c - Added functions to close any open user windows before removing a contact. Also added error_pix to the roster dispose function. Apr 24, 2003 (Bug ID 549722)
- roster.c - Added functions to close all open user windows before disconnecting. Fixes enforcer hits that occur if you disconnect, reconnect and attempt to use windows that remained open. Apr 25, 2003
Note - The changes I made in roster.c and userinfo.c clear up the enforcer hits that are present in the current prerelease of v 1.4. It doesn't fix the source of the problem though. I think the hits are actually originating in the iksemel library when some unexpected or unusual XML is received. Something may have to be changed there eventually. (nba) (Translation: ub)

Audio track "Call to Ancestors" by Bjorn Lynne online
Bjorn Lynne writes:
"First of all, many many thanks to those of of you who already bought the
new CD "Power Liquids", which I released about two weeks ago. This is an
album of trance / electronica that I made toghether with my friends in
Aural Planet, and it has been extremely well received so far. Thanks again
to those of you who have given your support so far, by ordering the CD.
Due to popular demand (!) I have now made one full-length track from the
album available to hear online at http://www.mp3.com/bjornlynne. It's the
first mp3 track there. This is in addition to the short mp3 clips from ALL
the songs on the CD, which you can still hear at: http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html
While you are at my mp3 page, please give all my other tracks a play as
well, as it may help them to get higher in the mp3.com charts and make
more people "discover" my music through the mp3.com site. Thank you!
And for those of you who have still not discovered the new album: "Power
Liquids", you can read all about it (or even order it) here:
http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html. Your order (should you place
one!) will be shipped out within 24 hours by me, personally." (nba) (Translation: ub)

Pegasos: Summary of all the things regarding the Articia
Within a comment at OSNews.com
Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck sum up all the mess regarding the
Articia chip and confirm the use of the Marvell-Northbridge for the
Pegasos II. The support by Marvell and their
interest for the Pegasos II is said to be very high.
The Articia-S versions were specified. The northbridges used
for the Pegasos I are said to be Articia S #A660BNGP,
these were not produced any longer. For testing purpose some of the
new Articia S #A660BNGE were purchased.
The specs for the
G4 cards (July) and the Pegasos II (September) were confirmed
within the comment.
Furthermore links to BeOS pages are
listed which cover Genesi's attendance at the BeGeistert show:
BeGroovy, BeForever and LeBuzz.
Again the Pegasos II will be offered for a reduced price to the
Phoenix members after the demand for the Pegasos I has not been
feeded completely.
Finally they tell that Eugenia
Loli-Queru, chief editor of OSNews, received a Pegasos so that there
will be a report by her soon.

The next show we will organize is at June 28! This is a change of date
because of some accomodation problems. As extra we organize than an Amiga
Party! We want every Amiga freak to join us at this party! Look
here for more

boulderdash page
and a Dutch software page where we wanna archive all

Bill McEwen still Amiga CEO?
According to statements by Ray A. Akey
of Amiga Inc. and Fleecy Moss,
Bill McEwen is still CEO of Amiga Inc.
Yesterday Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco have circulated in a news item at
MorphOS-News.de
that Gary Hare was CEO of Amiga Inc., with whom talks had already been held
(we reported).
Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco stand by their statement, see the following comments at
morphos-news.de,
ANN and
again ANN.
Carsten Schröder paraphrases this nebulous situation to the point:
"The state of the news is becoming more and more nebulous: In the meantime Fleecy Moss
and Ray A. Akey, members of AMIGA, Inc.'s management, have denied a change at the top
management level. Bill McEwen, however, hasn't piped up yet, while Genesi again confirmed
the change and are currently trying to get in touch with Gary Hare.
Conclusion: There have been various bankruptcies and corporate acquisitions of the
AMIGA mother company in the past - but I personally can't remember a situation where there was
uncertainty about the current principal of the company.
At the moment I'm regarding two scenarios explaining this situation as the most probable ones:
Scenario 1: The shareholders of AMIGA, Inc. have decided to exchange the management but not informed
them (or some of them), while the designated CEO has already had talks with Genesi.
Scenario 2: Genesi have been had. I'm regarding a deliberate false report improbable as this would
do much damage to the company's reputation."
Here the statement of Amiga Inc's Ray A. Akey:
"Bill McEwen is currently the CEO of Amiga and the fact that there is no PR
to the contrary about this on our website means that there is no news.
Anyone describing the appointment of a new CEO as "old news" is obviously
posting information for their own motives and reasons since "old news"
requires it to be "new news" before it can be "old news" and since Amiga
Inc hasn't posted such "new news" then the motives of the person describing
it as "old news" while simultaneously putting this new news into the world
have to be questioned."
Here the statement of Fleecy Moss:
"Has Amiga Inc changed CEO?"
Fleecy Moss: As of this moment Bill McEwen is the CEO of Amiga and if a new CEO
was to be brought in, it would be because of Amiga expanding as a company
and Bill needing to concentrate on being Chairman and President - currently
he is CEO as well and three top jobs in a company that is attracting the
attention we are is at least one job too many.
Any CEO to be brought in would be as part of the team and would be totally
in sync with the current strategic direction of the company. If someone is
posting information to the contrary then it can only be for ulterior motives.

Official release from YAM v2.4
DESCRIPTION
YAM (Yet Another Mailer) lets you send and receive electronic mail
over the Internet and maintain archives of messages in your computer.
The idea came to Marcel Beck in 1995 when he first tried using email:
the programmes available at the time were either powerful but
complicated to configure, or else used a too limiting graphical
interface. The goal, therefore, was to program a cross between
AdMail and AirMail, with a few ideas from Pegasus Mail.
YAM made its first public appearance in early 1996 under the
"mailware" concept. The unexpectedly enthusiastic response
from the public led to a steady development of YAM that reached
its finest hour in version 1.3.5, the last incarnation in the
"classic" series. By then, YAM had turned into one of the most
popular Amiga programmes ever, and won Marcel the appreciation
and several awards from the Amiga community thanks to its
simplicity and ease of use.
Unwilling to stop at that point, Marcel spent almost two years
developing YAM2. In the summer of 1999, a greatly improved YAM
set some of the standards that would be lately imitated by other
popular Internet applications. In November 2000, Marcel finally
gave up out of lack of time and motivation, but was yet kind enough
to release the "final" YAM 2.2 together with its sources under the
GNU General Public License. On this day and age, Marcel Beck is
still fondly remembered by many as one of a selected few who made
a difference on the Amiga.
Today, after YAM 2.3 and 2.3p1 fixed some of the most outstanding
problems in the original sources and almost 18 months of hard work
have been spent, the YAM Open Source team is proud to make the legend
continue with YAM 2.4, the most powerful Amiga mailer to date.
