The distribution is now divided into base package (AmigaAMP.lha) and separate archives for the decoding engines depending on which architecture you're running it on. The base package will run using mpega.library and sndfile.library. The so called decoding engines will add extra features like high quality decompression, graphic equalizer (currently for MP2/MP3 only) and high accuracy analyzers and scopes... Link

Version 5.10 & 5.10aReleased! December 31, 2006
CNet 5.10 is now available for download. This version is free to any sysop running version 5.x as it will not require a new BBSLicense file. It is however, simply a release to update the copyright information and establish a baseline version for all future releases.......

PicShow is a program meant to be configured as picture viewer in directory tools like DirOpus or DosControl. It shows the doubleclicked picture in a borderless window on the specified custom screen and can also be used as a slide show program with nice blend effects.

ScummVM is a collection of interpreters, capable of emulating several adventure game engines.

Changes include:

- now uses getopt() from clib2
- cleaned up Makefile.AmigaOS

Version 4.5p1-2 includes the following changes:
- added missing LICENCE file to distribution archive
- now requires AmigaOS 52.x or higher
- increased default pipe buffer size to 4096 bytes
- fixed progress bar display bug in sftp during 'put'

HivelyTracker is a tracker program based upon the AHX format created in the mid '90s by Dexter and Pink of Abyss. The format was relatively popular, and many songs were created and used in scene productions and games. AHX was designed to create a very SID-like sound on the Amiga.

Today, version 1.2 for both OS4 and OS3.x was released! You can grab it from the HivelyTracker homepage.

Competition Time

To celebrate the release of HivelyTracker 1.2 for OS4 and OS3.x, IRIS and Up Rough have teamed up with GGS-Data to bring you the HivelyTracker music competition.



We are inviting everyone to make a song in HivelyTracker, and enter it into a competition to win a C64-DTV. Members of IRIS and Up Rough will judge the winning entry to receive the prize, which has been kindly donated by GGS-Data.

Then, all the entries will be released in a music disk after the competition has finished.

The full rules are available on the the competition page.
