The "AmigaGadget" is a disk magazine, which consists mainly of
articles in German language (*DEUTSCHSPRACHIG*) which are supplied
by the readers. But there are also some texts from the internet
forming kind of "reader's digest of the net".

The "Gadget" covers subjects ranging from information about the
Amiga to political questions - even movie and record reviews are
included.

Articles of issue 40 include :
 - interviews with Klaus Burkert (developer of Picasso IV,
   employed at Village Tronic) and Stephen Jones (Siamese
   Systems)
 - large "Amiga goes Online" section featuring
    * explanations about how to configure everything from
      a TCP/IP stack up to a WWW browser,
    * a short review of NetConnect 2 CD-ROM and
    * a description of the Universal Message System (UMS)
 - reviews of computer related literature, hard- and software
 - an exclusive report from the CeBIT '99 computer fair
 - "Mumpitz"-corner for everyone who still enjoys his (or her)
   old 8 bit computer
 - the latest news (including background informations about
   the reasons why the Amiga conversion of "Settlers II" had
   to be cancelled)
 - jokes & stories

The archive contains a special version of the "Gadget" which can be
installed to your harddisk simply by unpacking it. But to get the
magazine work there should be some files in your directories, which
you probably have already (if not - most of them can be found in
the Aminet) :

    LIBS:   reqtools.library
            diskfont.library
            iff.library
            powerpacker.library
            medplayer.library
            xpkmaster.library
            compressors/xpknuke.library

    C:      IconX
            Run
            Assign

If you use CyberGraphX with a monitor which can only handle
frequences >15kHz there _might_ occur some problems promoting
the "Gadget" screen.

If there are any problems left, feel free to contact us. And
enjoy the "Gadget".... (and my most peculiar English)
