APC&TCP is celebrating its 26th year

APC&TCP has now been trading for 26 years this May.

It's our 26th anniversary year for APC&TCP distribution.

Originally APC&TCP was founded to publish the software of Computer Club members by offering them fair publishing terms.

However, that offer was expanded very quickly, and non-members were also able to distribute their software via APC&TCP.

The computer club has not been around for a long time now, but APC&TCP is still active.
There is still new software being released, such as Roadshow, CygnusEd, and DigiBooster that have already been released and new updates are still being worked on.

APC&TCP is also active in the merchandising market and has been publishing stickers, mousepads, posters and such like for some years.

Then, of course, there is also the print magazine Amiga Future, which is now 20 years old.

Over these 26 years, APC&TCP has published more than 200 products for the Amiga and hopefully will become even more active over the next few years.

You can find out more about the history of APC & TCP and its published products by visiting the following links:

GALer

http://www.amigafuture.de/downloads.php

An overview of the recent uploads and changes to the download database of Amiga Future is also available from this link:

http://www.amigafuture.de/dl_recent.php

Of course we also want to be able to offer you many more full versions online, but to be able to achieve this, for you, we need your help, so ...

We are on the lookout for the Copyright holders for Amiga games and applications.
Do you know of any such person or can you actively help us in our search?
If so, then please contact us by email.

We are looking for extra support in order to revise the full versions download area of the Amiga Future webpage.
In particular, to check whether all those full versions formats (ADF, IPF, WHDLoad, AGA, CD releases, etc.) are complete.
In addition, a short description, in 2 sentences or less, about each of their system requirements and some screenshots need to be created.
If you want to help us, then please send us an email.

Amiga Future Webpage and SSL

In the next days we have to change www.amigafuture.de to SSL.

Unfortunately, Amiga browsers like to have a problem with this.

Here we want to show you some tricks of Rotzloeffel from the A1k so that you can continue to use the Amiga Future webpage on the Amiga:

First you install, if not already done, the following:

1. AMISSL 3.6 - AmiSSL Homepage: http://www.heightanxiety.com/AmiSSL/

2. then an update of AMISSL 4.x - Aminet-Link: http://aminet.net/search?query=amissl

The version Ibrowse 2.4 does not support AmiSSL 4! Only a few older versions of the certificates will be renewed!
- -> An update of Ibrowse 2.5 is vegetating on http://www.ibrowse-dev.net ... will it ever be released?

Many sites encrypted with SSL still offer encryption with TLS1!
You can change the preferred encryption in AmiSSL to just this TLS1 and if the site offers it, which many do, the previously rejected site is opened without any problems.

For this the env-variable ssl_client_version has to be set

In CLI you enter the following commands one after the other:

makedir env:amissl
setenv amissl/ssl_client_version tls1
copy env:amissl envarc:amissl all

In the drawer envarc:, which is located on the hard drive, all env-variablen are stored and copied to the ENV: directory at system startup, which is typically found in the RAM.

Amiga Future Everywhere: AmigaOS 3 and 4 Version SSL Update

The Amiga Future Webapge is switching to SSL. Therefore, an update to read the data was urgently needed. We ask all users to install the update as soon as possible.

The AmigaOS 3 and 4 version of Amiga Future Everywhere has been updated and released in version 1.02.

It is a program for AmigaOS 3 and AmigaOS 4 that creates a Docky, which can be notified about new Amiga News in various ways.

The headlines of the news reports are displayed with a link to the respective news message.
The actual news message can then be read with a simple click in the browser of his choice.
The user can choose how often to check for new news.
In addition, he can of course choose the different types of notification.
You can also set whether you only get news in German, English or both languages.

(By the way, we are still looking for someone who can implement this program for AROS and MorphOS.)

The programs can be downloaded for free on the Amiga Future Everywhere page.

There will also be provided any updates of the programs, as well as other phases of Amiga Future Everywhere.

Of course, there is also an App for Android.

Changes:

- The program can optionally call the News SSL-encrypted (www.amigafuture.de) or unencrypted (www.amiga-future.de). The tooltype NEWSURL and NEWSADR are used for this.

- In the Prefs you can now set whether you want to see the complete news message "online" on the SSL-encrypted Amiga Future webpage or "internally" as a local file in the browser. Of course, a web browser with the correct path must be set in the prefs.

For all users who use their own RSS reader, the feeds are available at the following addresses:

ohne SSL: http://www.amiga-future.de/rss.php

Amiga Future: cheats database Update

The cheats database of Amiga Future is updates weekly by David Jahn, even at first sight if it is not immediately apparent.

The cheat database on the Amiga Future webpage is probably the biggest German collection for the Amiga.

This is not just about cheats. Many solutions, tips and tricks, as well as Freezer addresses can be found in this collection.

Meanwhile you can find more as 3400 Games Cheats and solutions in the database, and there is always more.

The database is currently completely in German. If we receive enough donations for the website, we have planned to integrate a proper online database, which will also be available in English.
