AMIGA news

Another game news, which we got after the closing date of the games section: On the Amiga homepage of Thalion (http://Thalion.amiga.tm) you can download the unpublished English version of the role game Ambermoon in addition to other games. Aicke Schulz says, that you should check the files for viruses after download. At least TraxxWarrior contains a ByteBandit virus in the bootblock.

NewTek made the revision 3.59 of the 24 bit graphics program TVPaint available on its homepage (http://www.newtek.com), for free. Before downloading there are just some questions to be answered. TVPaint requires CyberGraphX.

On http://www.yam.ch revision 2.0 Preview 7 of well-known eMail software YAM can be downloaded. According to the author this is expected to be the last preview of the regular v2.0.

Users of CyberGraphX 4 can download an update to v4.1 on http://www.vgr.com/cybergfx/ for free. Now the graphics boards BVisionPPC and DraCoAltais are supported, too.

After the Aminet main server in USA failed again, Urban Mueller & Co. made short work: From now on the computers of the university in the German city Paderborn are the new Aminet main server.

The 'wARPgATE' is a new homepage, that informs about Haage & Partners 'Warp'-programs, which are Warp3D and WarpOS. The URL is http://www.snafu.de/~ramboy/HTML/warp.html.

There is also a new support site for the planned Amiga clone 'BoXeR', which is at http://members.tripod.com/~CoxD.

According to Aicke Schulz there will be a rewrite of the multi commodity MCP. In addition to some new functions, functions, that go conform with the OS and hacks will be put into different lists. At least on of the authors changed to the PC, so there isn't any furtherer development expected after completion of the new MCP revision.

According to Aicke Schulz the new MUI-library "HTMLView", which was created for the browser "IProbe", that is under development, was revised and is up to five times faster.
