Top News im September 2001Marathon 2.0 (18.09.2001 - 13:15 Uhr)Mit Marathon 2.0 steht nun seit Version 1.7 eine neue, in vielen Punkten verbesserte Version des E-Mail-Clients aus dem Draconis-Paket zur Verfügung. In diese Version wurden zahlreiche Wünsche der Anwender integriert, damit Marathon 2.0 mehr ist als ein einfacher E-Mail-Client. Hinzugekommen sind vor allem Funktionen, um die Archivierung und Verwaltung von Nachrichten noch komfortabler und einfacher zu gestalten. Aber auch an neuen Funktionen wurde nicht gespart. Damit sind nun viele der Features auch auf dem Atari verfügbar, die es bisher nur auf PC und Mac gab. So können nun z.B. alle Nachrichten in einer Baumstruktur verwaltet werden, wie das auch bisher schon bei manch anderen Mail-Programm üblich war. Durch die Verschachtelung von Ordnern, Unterordnern und Postfächern ist es möglich sich eine geordnete Ablage zur organisieren. Außerdem können in der Baumstruktur nun "Identitäten" verwaltet werden. Damit können Sie sich verschiedene Konfigurationsprofile erzeugen. Dieses kann für die Erstellung von verschiedenen Konfigurationen für einen Anbieter aber auch in verschiedensten Konfiguration für verschiedene Anbieter gelten. Um das oftmals aufwändige Heraussuchen von Empfängeradressen zu umgehen, wurde dem Editor außerdem eine Auto-Vervollständigungs-Funktion gegönnt. Es werden also bei der Eingabe automatisch Vorschläge gemacht. So reicht es oftmals, die ersten Buchstaben der E-Mail-Adresse einzugeben, und der weitere Teil wird automatisch ergänzt. Dies war nur eine kleine Zusammenfassung der gebotenen Möglichkeiten. Details und Screenshots finden Sie auf der Marathon-Webseite. https://web.archive.org/web/20011006065513/http://draconis.atari.org/draconis/mara2/index.htm (tr) More News im September 2001Page 1 Page 2 Page 3 Page 4Private internet usage while working (04.09.2001 - 10:10 Uhr)Whoever does not surf the internet from his workplace for more than 100 hours a year may not be dismissed without further ado.

Arthur is a modern software reference tool for bidirectional language translation from single terms to common phrases. The associated libraries have been updated. New is a library for translating from German to Dutch as well as a blank library. The English/German and French/German libraries have been revised. Also completely new is the additional programme "Textal", which is used to convert ASCII text files into an Arthur98 library. To do this, simply create a text file collection from A to Z ("a.txt" to "z.txt"), which contains the terms and their translation in one direction, sorted by initial letter. Textal then converts the entire folder with the text files into an Arthur98 library, which then also allows bidirectional searching of the terms. Arthur98 is distributed as shareware. A registration key is offered by RGF Software for DM 39. Textal is available for free download.
