AK-Datatypes In Development

[TribbleSmasher]

This one looks like an easy to understand summary:

Or in short:

Version 3.0 added datatypes support which allowed any application that supported datatypes to load any file format supported by datatypes. Workbench could load any background image in any format if the required datatype was installed. A tiny application called Multiview was included that could open and display any supported file. Its capabilities were directly related to the datatypes installed in Devs:Datatypes. The established AmigaGuide hypertext system gained more usability by using document links pointing to media files, for example pictures or sounds, all recognized by the datatypes.

So it will be called the 'AKdatatypes.library', to not get confused with the systems own datatypes.library?

I suggest we all create new libraries with various functionality and release them into Aminet under well known names just to have some fun.

If he is not mentioned as (one of the) copyright holder noone gives even one fux who Osma Ahvenlampi is.

Maybe ProDAD could be convinced that they should release pOS again, just for shits and giggles...

What do you mean with 'again'? Afaik there was only the pre-release. These demos run fine but all the libraries and stuff are worthless without an SDK.
