Amiga Future interview with YAM author Marcel Beck
On the Amiga Future homepage ("AKTION" area) there is an interview with the author of YAM (German only).
Interesting parts are the statement that he will only ever support the platform he
is using himself - and that he will be waiting for the AmigaNG to be actually available
before deciding what to think of it.
Meaning, if itīs interesting enough for him we might be lucky to see a YAM NG... ;-) (mb)
StarGate becomes Freeware
With much considerations I have decided to release StarGate
as freeware to the Amiga community. The latest version v2.5
contains bug fixes and minor features. Additional features
have not yet been implemented and may not be in the future.
StarGate is premier email and news client for the Amiga.
It requires MUI v3.6 and greater.

You will required to download the v2.1 archive first.
GoldED Studio Service Pack 16 available
For registered users of GoldED Studio the Service Pack 16 is available for download.
Also available is a completely reworked Webworld plug-in. The HTML editor was expanded
by countless very useful functions.
I was of course especially interested in the new Webworld plug-in. It is very
intuitively, and proved to be an excellent and unique help in creating the HTML pages
for amiga-news.de after only a few minutes. Even the "old" Webworld plug-in was fine,
but the new one is much better yet! If I had to give it a grade, it would be an "A+" :-).
A must-have for web workers! (ps)

AminetGUI / Some private notes
Because I have to do my military service starting on May 1st, 2000, I can only reply to

will continue with updates.
If somebody is interested in working as co-webmaster, please contact me. Right now is
this GUI a one-man effort. Alexander Kurtz, webmaster of Aminet.de.

and unsubscribe to mailinglists. AmyGate unites all these programs into one and gives you easy
and comfortable handling.
