Signs of life..

Wow, it seems like forever since I have posted anything on the website about AVD, or much else for that matter. In fact it has been three and half months, which in the scope of the Amiga's life time (both alive and dead), is very little time at all. Although it always feels like an eternity when those of us in the Amiga community are all busy playing the seemingly never-ending game of "Wait and see."

For the English version of the Amiga Future we look for more translators.

Unfortunalety there was a bug in my latest update of Cygnix pre3.
The shell command "xscreen2front" could freeze your system under
certain circumstances. This is now fixed. A revised archive is now
available on OS4-depot:

Please reinstall the update or copy the command into the corresponding
Cygnix directory by hand.

We are very happy to announce you our engagement for the Amiga platform and the release of our newest software title

Amijeweled RTG

There are 23 new and reworked 32-bit icon archives available on the Masonicons homepage.

A complete icon set with navigation bar and transfer anim for AWeb and the PointerMI package with install script and prewiew icon for each pointer are the highlights of this release.

Preview

This will be the last 32-bit icons update for some time as I will concentrate on the next release of AISS (Amiga Image Storage System).

An update for the X11-package Cygnix is available on OS4-depot.

This is new in this update:

* Better support for GTK2 themes.
* Three new GTK2 themes. Two of them in AmigaOS4 style.
* Two new shell commands:
lpr - to print documents.
xscreen2front - brings the Cygnix screen into front.
* New feature to configure Cygnix.
* Revised startup.
* A bugfixed version of the sound server.

You need this update to install all new software packages (e.g. AbiWord)
