PCTip: new Amiga computers - a myth on the way to its comeback?
Christian Bütikofer wrote in his (German) article extensively about the Amiga scene.
»They still exist, the Amiga users. And soon they could start to become
some more again. If all goes as planned, the Amiga, next to Atari THE cult home
computer of the 80's and 90's, will celebrate a resurrection in the new year!«

XAD-System Version 11
After a long time again a new release of archive extractor system XAD.
This system supports 93 filearchive, diskarchive and filesystem formats
nowadays (LZX, LhA, DMS, CAB, Zip, Rar, Ace, Arj, Wrapster, HA, ADF,
...). The most important new formats may be StuffIt, MacBinary, BinHex,
C64 filesystems and the SmartFileSystem. Thanks a lot to my three most active
supporters. XAD is still (relatively cheap) shareware. And there is
still a special price for OS 3.9 users wanting to update.

Psyria: Defender of the Crown title song for mobile phones
Dennis Lohr of Psyria has received the permission of Jim Cuomo to
convert the title song of Defender of the Crown for mobile phones.
Everyone with a phone with note editor can now enter the melody of
Defender of the Crown:
4C5, 8C.5, 16D5, 2C5, 4G5, 8G.5, 16A5, 2G5, 4F5, 4E5, 4D5,
4C5, 4E5, 8B.4, 16B4, 2B4, 4C5, 8C.5, 16D5, 2C5, 4G5, 8G.5,
16A5, 4G.5, 16F5, 16E5, 8F5, 8E5, 8D5, 8C5, 8F5, 8E5, 8D5,
8C5, 4E5, 8B.4, 16B4, 2B4, 4F5, 8F5, 8F5, 8G5, 8G5, 8A5,
8G5, 4C6, 8C.5, 16C5, 4C5
The first number is the note type:
1= full
2= half
4= quarter
8= quaver
16= sixteenth
The letter stands for the note itself (long with a "." where necessary). The third
number stands for the note height (octave). You are usually in octave 5 after
starting the editor.
The user should choose the speed for the piece himself since every mobile phone
varies the speed differently. For a Siemens mobile phone for example the optimal
speed would be "03".

Encyclopedia mentiones the Amiga
The "Multimedia-Encyclopedia 2002", which can be purchased at Aldi (German
discounter), is reading about the Amiga:
»Amiga
Home computer developed in the 80th by the company Amiga, then distributed
by Commodore with Motorola processors. Popular home computers of the Amiga line
are the models Amiga 500 and Amiga 1000. More efficient versions of the Amiga
also could be utilized for more challenging projects (Amiga 2000 and Amiga 4000).
Amiga was taken over by the German trade chain Escom, then by the US company
Viscorp, and finally by the company Amino, but though several announcements
were made no new Amiga products were launched, so far.« (ps) (Translation: mj)

AGC failed
Unfortunately there has not been much interest in my attempt to found the AGC (Amiga Guide Community). I intended to create a common basis for all those who like to work with the AmigaGuideFormat. I was also going to create a website which should have contained all publications of the AmigaGuideFormat that have been ever written.
Some of the active AmigaGuide writer answered very pleased but nobody could help me realizing the project so I stopped it in summer 2001.
Up to now I did not have the time to publish this sad message. Sad because the AmigaGuideFormat is underestimated of most of the Amiga users although it is used very often. However, maybe there is somebody who is interested in. I still have not thrown away my notices of this project.

New updates in the EvenMore archive.
Now when you search for text using the search files function, you
can double click a file in the list to open it at the place where your
match was found (Only for plain text files though). Fixed a bug in the
new colour setup, EvenMore would sometimes loose other colours when
getting new ones. You will need to reconfigure your EvenMore config
file. Also fixed an enforcer hit when closing the window, was freeing
the gadgets twice ;/.
Alfred Vaust has also created a deutsch catalog for EvenMore,
along with a template for creating new catalogs and a catalog compile

Transfer program for Casio graphical calculators
Uwe Ryssel wrote:
I have uploaded ACas c0.2beta which is a transfer program for the Casio graphical calculator CFX-9850G to the Aminet.
With the help of the program you can send and receice all data of the calculator. These data can be saved and loaded as CAT-format. The CAT-format is used by the original transfer program of Casio and is the most frequent format with which these data (e.g. programs) are handled.

IRC-Kanal for AmigaOS XL-User
To relief other channels and to give a quick assistance for problems there will be an own IRC channel:
Channel: #AOS_XL-Help
IRC-Server: irc.belwue.de
Port:6667
This is not a steady channel and I cannot promise that you will find every time someone there. But I will keep it open as long as I am online.

VNC: zvnc V.1.1
David Gerber has released version 1.1 of his VNC client "zvnc"
on 28. December 2001. Following the changes:
- Bugfix: Port- and cx_priority arguments were not
observed.
- New: Documentation extended with more FAQ entries.
"zvnc" is a small
VNC-Client
without display support (for controlling a second machine with monitor).
The advantage of "zvnc" are a minimum of data to be send via the network,
because the graphics data are not applied. That makes control by mouse and
keyboard very straight.
The archive contains versions for AmigaOS 2.x / 3.x, and MorphOS.
Download: zvnc_1.1.lha
