Jack 4.0 (MUI) now available
At long last the wait is over, I am pleased to announce the release of Jack 4.0.
Jack is a multi-purpose commodity for AmigaOS, AROS and MorphOS.
The AmigaOS version can be downloaded from http://www.os4depot.net, versions for AROS and MorphOS will appear in the next few days.
If your eager to download straightaway please remember to check the ‘Upload’ queue on OS4Depot first.
Jack 4.0 has been completely written from the ground-up, bye-bye to the custom interface, Jack now fully embraces MUI.
Main Features:
- Comprehensive AmigaOS App-Store piggy-backing onto the already brilliant OS4Depot.net. Includes integrated Arexx Support for developers

Be sure to read the known bugs and limitations mentioned in the documentation.
Jack 4.0 fully takes advantage of MUI Royale 1.0, however a few limtiations have been identified in the documentation and Andreas of Hollywood fame is working hard to resolve them. When this is complete I can in turn update Jack itself.
I hope you enjoy the new release of Jack.

Jack for AmigaOS 
Jack 4.0, 4.01, and 4:02 is not running on my Sam440ep (TheRedOne). Version 4.02 brings the following error message: HollywoodPlayer / Cannot read beyond end of file! File: calender.hws (current line: 322 – in function: ReadLine)
In the meantime try downloading the work in progress version available at:
http://www.lakemarketingandevents.co.uk/jack/Jack.lha
I have tested, current error message is:
Cannot read beyond end of file! File: calender.hws (current line: 325 – in function: ReadLine)
Where do I find Jack for Aros?..
Jack brakes on my Icaros install…
Hopefully I will release Jack 4 in the next few weeks atm I’ve been concentrating so much on the AmigaOS version.
