Mauving forward (have I already used that pun...?)

I'm, as always, continuing my mauve testing. I might just spot stuff, that might make other stuff run.
I've been at this previosuly, but I'm now re-iterating the java-io tests. My progrss so far? See for yourselves:

Using AROS/m68k as a j-uae guest system works

Just to give you a short update, most of the problems with AROS/m68k coherency should be gone now (at least on my system). Of course Paolo will find some heavy bugs, as soon as I send him the new version ;). The only smaller thing not supported yet are window shapes, most noticeably on popup menus.

You will have to use the same theme both on AROS/host and AROS/guest, but then you should not really notice any differences between them.

Found a Amiga 600 keyboard

Following on from my first blog entry, I am getting an Amiga 600 to work on a new project to upgrade it.

As part of this, I already know that I need to fix the keyboard which is in terrible yellowed condition.

Fortunately I have located a much whiter keyboard on Ebay today, which I have also purchased and awaiting it's delivery from overseas.

I include some photos of this item from the seller's listing since I don't have it yet - can't wait to install it in the Amiga 600 when I get both of them!

InstantZip

As I did a quick Zune GUI for minunzip (which now was also ported to AmigaOS4 by kas1e), Carsten Siegner sent me the sources for his MorphOS program "InstantZip". Thanks for that!

It was a little bit hard, to get it compiled and at least somewhat working on AROS, especially, if you only have a few minutes spare time now and then to fix the problems.

As it seems, AROS ListView does not support mulitselection, I switched to NList-classes and now it has some basic functionality, it can at least extract single files from an archive, as you can see below.
