After too long of a downtime, the Amiga-Z BBS is coming back. We offically relaunch on November 27, 2008!

The original Amiga-Z BBS went live in February of 1995 on an Amiga 500 with a Bodega Bay, external CD-ROM and 2 HDDs (40MB & 80MB) and had about 1300 files online by the time the BBS was shutdown in 1997, due to a failure on the DataFlyer500 HD controller.

We have just launched a new regional website.

For ease of access, European customers can now use the new www.amigakit.eu address to enter the European store directly. Please update your bookmarks.

Last 24-25-26th October, Colmar Multimedia Expo 2008 (France) was a great success for the "RELEC / ACube Systems / RMS Communications" stand. Many visitors and amigans came from France, Swiss, Italy, Belgium, Germany, UK and even Danemark to see in Colmar AmigaOS 4.1 running on SAM440ep, SAM440ep-flex motherboard, MorphOS 2.1 on EFIKA & Pegasos, Minimig, and for the first time AmigaOS 4.1 on a touchscreen !

The OpenAmiga project Extended default mouse pointer types has been finished!

Download the result from the bottom of the project page or from os4depot.

Amiga-Look is a new website for the AmigaOS, MorphOS and Aros artworks that a lot of people create. The main idea is to gather all this content into one web site, so that it could be really easy for someone to find something that he needs. In this new website you will find screenshots, icons, themes and many other things that you would like to use.

If you have a backlog of crunched OCR25 done then you need to submit it now. The effort could end in just 5 days.

Seems that these last stubs have very few permutations and ~6,500,000 of ~26,600,000 packets of stubspace 7 were done yesterday. Read the rest for full details.

The statistics server was offline for 3 days, and it's back now with that shocker.

A new official statement of RELEC (http://www.relec.ch) :

You certainly have just noted it, with the new temporary home page, your distributor of Amiga Software & Hardware "RELEC" is designing a whole new web site. This one gives you already a good idea of the modern and sober look which will qualify our new web portal.

This new site will relate to all the products AmigaNG and Amiga Classic available, but will still link towards the old site (current version) for a certain time. This, in order to benefit from the quantity information accumulated during many years of service !

Since Porter/Duff style image compositing will be part of AmigaOS 4.1, I've decided to try and start a series of articles on the topic. Part one is now up, and can be found here. I want to extend this series in the future, and also go into the programming itself, including sample code.
