SimpleCat is a program for maintaining catalogs (tanslations). It offers more features than the cat program of the AmigaOS and MorphOS SDK: Powerful import and export functions, validity checks and a graphical user interface make the life of developers easier and the program first choice for translators. The add-on for Cubic integrates SimpleCat into the interface of the development environment, with syntax highlighting for translations and clickable log files. SimpleCat was developed by Guido Mersman and the latest version is included with kind permission of the author.

Today issue 63 of the Amiga Future (November/December 2006) has been released, This means that all subscriptions and preorders have been brought to the postal office.

Again, this time we have some interesting articles in the magazine. We looked at the actual situation of Amiga Inc. and Hyperion, visited the Classic Computing and of course reviewed a lot of software vor the Amiga.

However workshops about relais cards on the Amiga and WHDLoad are also not to be missed.

In this issue we drift a little into the C64 world. We reviewed C64 emulators, the C64 Classix 2 and of course interviewed Protovision.

A more detailed preview and try-outs can be found using http://www.amigafuture.de/forum/kb.php?mode=article&k=577.

Because this is our last issue in the year we have a small gift for you on the cover CD. Besides many full versions for the Amiga (ApanoSin, Breathless, Conquestador, Erben des Throns, Fools Errand, Labyrinth of Time, Magic Island (untested), Manager, NewTracker AHI, T-Racer, The World Of Magic 1, The World Of Magic 2 ) you can also find over 100 full versions for the C64 as a small addition to the C64 part of this issue.

Further there are some music tracks by Andreas St?rmer, AmiKit 120 inc. video tutorials and much, much more.

The Amiga Future is available as a single issue or subscription.

The magazine can be obtained directly from the editorial office and the Amiga dealers (like Alinea, Vesalia, GGS-Data...).
