Short: German Freeware Magazine Author: various Uploader: an amigagadget de (Andreas Neumann) Type: mags/german Architecture: generic The "AmigaGadget" is a disk magazine, which consists mainly of articles in German language (*DEUTSCHSPRACHIG*) which are supplied by the readers. But there are also some texts from the internet forming kind of "reader's digest of the net". The "Gadget" covers subjects ranging from information about the Amiga to political questions - even movie and record reviews are included. Articles of issue 40 include : - interviews with Klaus Burkert (developer of Picasso IV, employed at Village Tronic) and Stephen Jones (Siamese Systems) - large "Amiga goes Online" section featuring * explanations about how to configure everything from a TCP/IP stack up to a WWW browser, * a short review of NetConnect 2 CD-ROM and * a description of the Universal Message System (UMS) - reviews of computer related literature, hard- and software - an exclusive report from the CeBIT '99 computer fair - "Mumpitz"-corner for everyone who still enjoys his (or her) old 8 bit computer - the latest news (including background informations about the reasons why the Amiga conversion of "Settlers II" had to be cancelled) - jokes & stories The archive contains a special version of the "Gadget" which can be installed to your harddisk simply by unpacking it. But to get the magazine work there should be some files in your directories, which you probably have already (if not - most of them can be found in the Aminet) : LIBS: reqtools.library diskfont.library iff.library powerpacker.library medplayer.library xpkmaster.library compressors/xpknuke.library C: IconX Run Assign If you use CyberGraphX with a monitor which can only handle frequences >15kHz there _might_ occur some problems promoting the "Gadget" screen. If there are any problems left, feel free to contact us. And enjoy the "Gadget".... (and my most peculiar English) Andreas Neumann
