New OctaMED on the horizon
OctaMED SoundStudio is
not dead! According to OctaMED UK publisher Ray Burt
Frost, Teijo Kinunnen is committed to creating a new
version for the Amiga despite the fact that, as he puts
it, "all the Amiga versions we have released
previously have been pirated in the thousands, thus
making the years' work a total waste of time". Ray
has said that the new version is not likely to arrive
this year and could only confirm that both AHI and 16-bit
samples would be fully supported along with plenty of
other, unrevealed, new additions to the program. For

Right CEd Stefan
CygnusED, the popular Amiga text editor, will soon be re-released by Stefan Ossowski's Schatztruhe. In cooperation with Bruce Dawson and Olaf Barthel, the editor will be revised and updated for release, fixing long-standing bugs and problems.
The developers are keen to give the Amiga community the opportunity to influence development of the product. Please let them know about your ideas and wishes regarding the editor, what features do you want to see implemented and which problems need attention. Send your requests and suggestions to the following address: schatztruhe@cww.de; every contribution takes part in a lottery, the prize being one of ten copies of the editor, when it is complete.
The new CygnusEd version will be published on CD-ROM before the end of this year. Attractive update offers and cross-updates for users of other text editors are being planned.
