further details)!

many more.

routines and many more.
- CD-Text support read and write (your CD-recorder must support this feature).
- Full access to large internet AudioCD database for archiving and managing your Audio CD`s.

The new Online Shop has finally been finished.
It is based on the script language PHP3 and the database MySQL, running server-based. This way, it can

it is already fully functional.

ICQ-Userlist
I am just expanding the ICQ userlist (on my homepage) by the homepages of the listed users.
Sadly I do not know all homepages. So I ask all listed ICQ users (and those who want to be
listed): Have a look at if your homepage is listed, and use the submission form to have it
listed.

The Ticker v1.0
With "The Ticker", Amiga Central is offering a new
service. Instead of visiting a web-site explicitly, the special Ticker program automatically
displays the current headlines. To read the messages, all you have to do is clicking on the
headlines.
The free program runs on Amigas with AmigaOS v3.x, 1 MB RAM, Internet connection and the Open
URL Library 2.x. It has been developed by Chris Page (The
World Foundry), the idea is from Chris Korhonen. Ports are planned for e.g. Linux, Windows
and BeOS.

AROS and OAF
AROS will become the development section of OAF. OAF is the
Open Amiga Foundation which COSA will turn into.
OAF will care about the public
relations and contact to Amiga. They will collect all informations and summarize them for
AROS, so AROS can concentrate on the development. They will also care about money and
legal matters, which means a lot less work for AROS.

Delays with MorphOS
The developer package for MorphOS will not be released
this month.
Main reason for this is that Frank Mariaks CyberstormPPC failed in late
1999, and it took Phase5 two send-in/send-back cycles to realize that it is beyond repair.

BattleIsle DataDisk 3
Marco Frischkorn writes:
I am missing some maps for a new DataDisk. Mainly one-player maps. If somebody has some of those
on his hard drive, just send them. As basic map set I am using the graphics from BattleIsle 1.
If someone has maps for the DataDisk 1 (desert / winter), I would be happy about them, too,
even while there are only one third of the needed maps are present right now.
Please send maps to marco_frischkorn@amigadev.de.
When possible write some lines in addition to the map, like sollutions, backgrounds, about the
person, and that you aggree in distribution on an extra DataDisk. The maps are throughoutly tested
by myself and two friends. As soon as the DataDisk 3 is ready, everyone will recieve it automatically.

DiskCopy v44.5 - fix
Andi from Future Visions writes:
On January 30th, 2000, the Amiga community was informed about the problems with the diskcopy v44.5
by amiga-news.de. At the title link, a link to our "Amiga Support Area" can be found, offering the
utility "TrackCopy64" for download. This program enables access to tracks beyond the 4GB barrier.
The support site alos lists an explanation of the diskcopy v44.5 problems. I ask for feedback by
voluntary beta testers about problems occuring with TrackCopy64. Suggestions, questions and beta
test reports please to support-computer@future-visions.de.

LightForce
Bad news on LightForce by StrangeWorlds:
On this weekend, the A4000 of
Andreas Hippauf suffered a complete failure of the development partition.
The development environments for LightForce, and the e-mail client YAM had
to be reinstalled completely. Thanks to frequent backups, the sources were
undamaged.
But the emails of (the) last month(s?) have been lost. If
somebody has ordered the latest demo version and did not yet recieve it,
please contact Andreas Hippauf
again. Reminder: Due to the very low response to the e-mail feedback it has
been decided to send out new demo versions only to interested users on
request. The latest demo, by the way, already shows the usage of textures
and extras, so it is well worth a look.
