Merry Xmas everybody

We are happy to announce the release of the new AKReal 9.2 - the unofficial conversion of AmiKit for real Amiga machines-.

This is a new FREE update just to thank you for all of your support and … 'cause it's Christmas time

.

Mattahan's and 16 colors Ken's Icons have been updated too.

16 Colors Screenshots:

We've updated the content with the latest software as well as added many new features (see changelog). You will find for example an implemented AI with AmigaGPT (now working with OS3.9), nicer AmiStart Menus (shorter without the mostly useless option that was on the top of the bar), updated Radio Stations and some more options for example to change the pointer or if you are using RTG to change the images and configs to use RTG instead with a couple of clicks, etc, etc.

To enter to the http AKReal site (http://real.amiga.sk) you should use a VPN (as an example, I am using the free "Urban VPN" and I enter from “Argentina”) and then you must enable the options to enter to a “not secure” place. You can also enter with IBrowse (updated) once you have AKReal installed. In any case, these are direct links which you can use with Firefox (for example) on your PC:

- New AKReal 9.2 Full installation

- Upgrade 9.0 > 9.1 : Upgrade

Extra Icon Sets for AKReal 9.2:

- Mattahan’s Icons Pack

- Ken’s Icons 16 colors

- Free older version: AKReal 9.0

If you have AKReal 9.1 and you have internet connection, you'll see that the “Live update” program will tell you that there is a new version available to be downloaded.
Just let it download the files and make the update. It will check if you have room enough in your HD or also if the download process of the files worked right because we’ve added the Filesize program.

Have fun and enjoy. Merry Christmas!

QUESTIONS
----------------------
Q- My hard drive is full of things. Can I make the update?
A- You need at least 35 MB free on your hard drive for the update. The update installer will detect if you have room enough to update it.

Q- What happens if I'm using Mattahan’s icons and I update to AKReal 9.2, do I have to install it all again?
A- The installer will detect and update them. You can also install the complete pack over it or you also can use the Icons pack installers to install the original icons&original positions of them.

Q- It looks like you have a lot of work on your shoulders. Have you got a place to buy you a coffe?
A- Thanks for supporting the effort. Yep, there is a place to support this conversion at http://real.amiga.sk/donations.htm or Paypal-Me

THANKS
----------------------

To all of the ones that can give whatever kind of support... I can see and Feel it. You know: "Amiga: ... Still Alive!"

To @bjdcleary from Southampton at EAB for his suggestions. Very helpful.

Thanks to all of you who supported this or any previous version of AKReal: Oliver Roberts, Thomas Rapp, Richard Kapp, Peter Keunecke, Stephen Fellner, Henryk Richter, Thore, Jens Maus, Bert Jahn, Andreas Falkenhahn, Darius Brewka, Michael Gibs, Johnny Acevedo and many, many others.
