Marathon 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.

TOSgroup online (25.09.2001 - 09:10 Uhr)

The TOSgroup is a standardisation body around TOS-compatible operating systems initiated by Richard Gordon Faika (RGF Software) and founded together with Frank Naumann (FreeMiNT) and Ralph Lowinski. The group is in the planning and set-up phase, but the homepage is already online. Of course, more members are being sought for the TOSgroup.

The first project planned is the definition of a standard for online documentation. The HTML and ST-Guide standards are suitable for this. Those who would like to join in the discussion on this topic should visit the forum on the website. Active participation is of course welcome. So help shape the future of Atari!

In one of the coming issues of st-computer there will be an interview with the initiators of the TOSgroup. (tr)
