Europa muß vor Softwarepatenten bewahrt werden (Protect Business and Liberty from Software Patents) Andreas R. Kleinert schreibt: Ist vielleicht ganz interessant - als Beispiel seien GIF/LZW und MP3-Player genannt :-(. Beim zweiten Link kann man gleich abstimmen. Nachtrag 1 von Andreas R. Kleinert: Hier ist nochmal ein etwas ausfuehrlicherer Link zu der Patent- Initiative - in deutsch - http://swpat.ffii.org/. Nachtrag 2 von Martin Baute: Übrigens, der Link bezüglich "Softwarepatente" ist nicht zum Abstimmen, sondern listet eine Anzahl von Kontaktadressen, an die man schreiben soll, um sich gegen die europäische Umsetzung von Softwarepatenten im US-Stil auszusprechen; dazu finden sich hier verschiedene Standpunkte und Hinter- grundinformationen. Leute, das ist ein Grund, um auf die Straße zu gehen! Wenn Microsoft hier in Europa den gleichen Lizenzknebel ansetzen kann wie in den Staaten, gibt es keinen Weg mehr an einer Computerdiktatur aus Redmond vorbei! (ps) [Meldung: 15.

Shogo Tagebuch Es wird erklärt, wie und warum Hyperion gegründet wurde und wer an der Teamarbeit rund um die Umsetzung von Shogo beteiligt ist. Zur Zeit sind folgende Teammitglieder beschäftigt: Christian Sauer, Hans-Jörg Frieden, Thomas Frieden, Steffen Haeuser, Michael Rock und Martin Schueler. Shogo wird frühestens im August 99 zu erwarten sein. Nachtrag 15.06.1999: Hans-Joerg Frieden schreibt: Der Eintrag auf deiner Seite zum Shogo-Tagebuch stimmt nicht so ganz :) Bei Hyperion handelt es sich nur um Thomas, Christian und mich. Steffen Haeuser war der Gastgeber des Treffens, weil er sich mit PPC-Programmierung auskennt (auf diesem Gebiet hat noch keiner von uns Erfahrung gesammelt). Michael Rock arbeitet bei Haage&Partner. Er ist einer der Autoren des StormC-Entwicklungssystems, das wir benutzen. Martin Schueler ist der Hardware-Designer der Firma Escena (die mit den G3's). Keiner der drei letzgenannten arbeitet fuer Hyperion. Ciao, Hans-Joerg Hätte ich doch genauer lesen sollen ;-), danke für Deinen Hinweis. Argh, da offenbaren sich gnadenlos meine bescheidenen Englischkenntnisse. (ps) [Meldung: 14. Jun. 1999, 08:00] [Kommentare: 0] [Per E-Mail versenden] [Druck-Version] [ASCII-Version] |

KOSH-summary #24 vom 14.06.1999KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware] Weekly Summary Week Commencing: 5th June 1999 Number: 024 Mailing List: kosh-general In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries. a) Subject: The Bobby Tool and KOSH Summary of debate: As mentioned a long while ago (but now directly relevant again as we discuss the KOSH website) the Bobby Tool which is available from http://www.cast.org/bobby checks a URL to see if it conforms to certain standards. The aim of this is is to increase accessibility to the web page(s) in question by examining the html code to see that it includes things like alternative text for images (used by speech based web browsers). It was suggested that all KOSH pages should use this tool. A page that passes the tests can use a "Bobby Approved" link logo on the page. Also suggested is that we should include a separate page on the KOSH site explaining exactly what the approval logo means and why we feel that it is important, etc. b) Subject: Siamese Amiga Summary of debate: See http://access.amiga.tm/ or http://ww.snowcrash.u-net.com/ which contain information on the "Amiga on a PCI" project being designed by Access and Siamese. c) Subject: KOSH Survey WG - draft user survey document Summary of debate: The draft user survey document from the KOSH Survey WG was posted to the ML (see the email from Michael Merriman, repugnant@yahoo.com, 8th June, "[KOSH] KOSH User Survey Draft" Comments, suggestions and ideas on it were asked for from the people on the General ML before the survey is made publicly available. The survey will be available at http://www.kosh.net/survey/index.html and will also be available by email from survey-request@kosh.net with the word "Survey" in the subject line. KOSH will -not- be using mass mailing to reach people with the survey - if anyone receives it via a mass email they should forward it to abuse@kosh.net (complete with the header) so that action may be taken. A selection of comments from the General ML on the survey follow: BeOS should be included as a separate OS and not be grouped under "other". The same applies to OS/2. MacOS could be subdivided like the Amiga entries are (AmigaOS 3+ and 2 and under). Some may object to being asked what sex they are. Perhaps "gender" is the term that should be used and the question should be marked as optional? the job section should recognise disabled people in some way without giving wrong impressions. Also, "Homemaker" or a similar category should be included. How about a category to directly identify respondees that have jobs that are directly computer related? Could we ask if a person uses a particular OS through choice, because it came with the machine, because it was recommended or because they have to (at work for example)? Thomas Jensen volunteers to make a Danish Translation of the survey. Personal information should be clearly marked as: - optional - completely confidential - purely for identifying KOSH's audience Compulsory personal information tends to put one into Lie Mode. The survey should -somehow- reach people that don't generally use computers for whatever reason (but -not- via mass e/mailing). The above (and more) were taken on by the User Survey WG team and are to be considered for incorporation into the survey.(ps) [Meldung: 14.

An der Hitparade kann doch jeder teilnehmen, es dauert grade mal 5 Minuten sich seine Lieblingssachen von der Festplatte aufzuschreiben und abzuschicken, und schon hat man eine Stimme mehr. Da muß man nocht nicht einmal nachdenken (wie z.B. beim Gewinnspiel). Ich hoffe mal, daß sich diese Zahl noch irgendwann erhöht. Das finde ich auch, wäre schön, wenn sich viele Leute beteiligen :-).

You can pick up a nomination form from one of several web sites, print it out, fill it out and fax it back. Give the matter some thought if you decide to nominate someone, but don't hesitate if you can come up with a good candidate. The letter below from Jim Collas clears up some interesting comments made by Gateway's top person Ted Waitt. We were surprised there wasn't more talk in the Amiga community about Mr. Waitt's statements, but apparently there was sufficient to cause the writing of this letter. We really appreciate the attempts at communication being made by Amiga lately, and hope the community appreciates these efforts as well (even if, as has been pointed out on the net, the folks at Amiga seem to do all their writing in Micro$oft Word! On a Windows based net site! Hmmmm.) Despite the choice of word processor and web server, despite the fact that the photo of him on the website makes Jim Collas look suspiciously like "The Master", we're beginning to think we have someone more like "The Doctor" this time. We hope so. We also hope he occasionally uses an Amiga for some of his work ... Brad Webb, Editor ---------------------------------------------------------------------- E-mail to the E-ditor: 30 May 1999 Just been reading the Amiga Update which arrived a couple of days ago. My primary comment concerns the new Gateway computer, "for sale in Japan". That new machine, with the motherboard built into the back of the LCD display has been available at some of the Country Stores in the USA since early March. It is just a Windows box with one out of the ordinary feature ... In the CMOS setup, there is a choice of operating system to start up at boot time. The choices are Windows and Other. ====== Robert, Interesting observations - I was unaware of the "Other" designation. Presumably that would be something like Linux. What interested me was the juxtaposition of the story about the Japanese Gateway computers with the Amiga concept drawings, which were being made available to the press. One of those drawings clearly shows a very portable Amiga with an attached LCD display - very reminiscent of the description of the Japanese computers. Time will tell if there's anything in common. Brad ~~~~~~ 28 May 1999 re: mikdom's letter in your 19-May-99 issue: What's all this about a ZIP drive "click of death"? Thanks Allan ====== Allan, I'm no expert on this, but I've heard something of a failing that happens with some Zip drives, where the death of the drive is preceded by a clicking sound. Could one of our readers send more details? Brad ~~~~~~ 29 May 1999 Dear Brad, Regards the gentleman who can't find an Amiga to buy... Tell him to check Ebay. Find a seller with lots of positive feedback and little or no negative feedback; those folks are as good as gold, because they protect their feedback status fervently, feverishly, and fretfully. Seriously, I've noticed A4000, 1200, 600, 500, 2000 and 3000s (not sure what the gent is looking for). Keep up the good work, and there is NO excuse for not owning an Amiga, if you want one. Regards, Mike ====== Mike, That's a very good suggestion. Another possibility is comp.sys.amiga.marketplace if you have access to newsgroups. There's less protection from unscrupulous sellers, but there are sometimes notes posted about who's regarded as good and who's not. Brad ---------------------------------------------------------------------- O P E N L E T T E R F R O M J I M C O L L A S June 8, 1999 Dear Amigans, Ted Waitt was recently interviewed by Guardian Online about Gateway's plans in general. There was also a question specifically about Gateway's plans for Amiga that Ted answered as follows: "we've had a group of people working on leveraging the Amiga assets into an appliance strategy for us. How well that works out, I don't know: it will be interesting to see. There are some great assets there. It's definitely not a computer business.'' This comment has obviously spurred many responses from the Amiga community. I want to assure people that this doesn't reflect a shift in our Amiga plans. We have not changed our plans to release a next generation Amiga multimedia computer. I have described the new multimedia computer and how it integrates into a full "information appliance" environment in my May letter to the community posted on our web site. Please read the May letter, as it will help you understand Amiga's product strategy. Ted's comments refer to Gateway's product plans for using the Amiga technology. Gateway's main interest in the next generation Amiga technology is for the emerging information appliance market. Gateway's focus on Internet connected information appliances is justifiable given the extremely high potential of this market and it's threat to the PC industry. Prominent Industry analysts have called information appliances "the next Internet wave'' and "one of the most exciting opportunities of the new millennium.'' By the year 2002, it is forecasted that information appliance shipments will surpass PC shipments and there will be more information appliances connected to the Internet than PCs. If I were CEO of Gateway, this would also be one of my primary areas of focus. But I am not CEO of Gateway. I am CEO of Amiga and I don't want to confuse Gateway's plans with Amiga's. There is a significant overlap in our plans but there is a difference in focus. I have been empowered by Ted to drive Amiga as an independent company with it's own strategy and plans. This will eliminate a major challenge that has held Amiga back for many years. The challenge of getting the proper attention and priority from large corporate parent companies which are focusing on their core business. Regarding Amiga's strategy, I have mentioned many times that Amiga will use the immense emerging information appliance market to build momentum for our next generation architecture. This is why we have come up with an architecture that integrates the power of multimedia computing into a full home computing environment that includes information appliances. This is a revolutionary architecture and computing environment for the future that combines power and simplicity. It is a powerful plan that gives Amiga a great chance of rising again as a significant force in the industry. On my trip to Germany and the U.K. last month, I presented details of the architecture and plans to a small group of prominent people in the Amiga community. I did this confidentially to get some feedback and validation on our plans. Once people understood exactly what we were doing, the feedback was very positive and people were excited about the revolutionary new architecture. Personally, I am extremely excited about sharing details of the new Amiga architecture with the community as a whole but we are still in a very sensitive stage relative to competition and technology partners. I know this is frustrating to the community since you have waited so long for a next generation product. We will continue to share as much information as possible when it is appropriate. I hope this letter clarifies Ted's statements on Gateway's use of Amiga technology. I will continue communicating as much as possible. You can expect to see my June letter to the community in a few weeks. I promise you that 1999 is going to be a great year for Amiga and the Amiga community. Keep the momentum going as we come back for the future. Sincerely, Jim Collas President and CEO, Amiga ---------------------------------------------------------------------- N O M I N A T I O N S F O R A D V I S O R Y C O U N C I L For Immediate Release San Diego, CA - June 10th 1999 - Amiga announces availability of Nomination Forms for the Amiga Advisory Council. As the company moves forward, the advisory council will be influential in helping to set the future direction of Amiga, with a special focus on the needs and desires of the existing Amiga community. The Council will be made up of representatives from the Amiga community. Once the Nomination forms have been faxed in, then Amiga management will select representatives from the developer, press, dealer/distributor, user group, and general user communities. Amiga will be evaluating and selecting the candidates based on the following criteria. * Experience with the classic Amiga products * Experience with the various Amiga user groups or similar Amiga community organization (such as ICOA, Brainiac, UGN, Team Amiga, Jay Miner Society, AmigaSOC, D.A.U.G.) * Amiga Dealers and Distributors * Amiga Developers * Communication with the Advisory council will be in English and will primarily be done via the Internet.

The new Delfina sound board design fixes the biggest problems and enhances performance about 100 percent on some areas and over 200 percent on others. We feel that the improvement definitely deserves a new name - Delfina Plus. Delfina Lite, the popular DSP sound board for Amiga, does not have a very high speed bus interface. Therefore the overall system may feel slow responding, especially when running many sound outputting programs at the same time. Slow bus speed is a result from only 8 bit Zorro bus interface and inefficient bus handling on Delfina side. On new design, the greatest priority object was to improve bus interface, and we have really achieved that. New interface is real 16 bit and much more efficient, taking less Amiga's CPU time and also less Delfina's DSP time, while delivering minimum of 3 times the transfer speeds of Delfina Lite. What this means is, that user can now use many more simultaneous audio programs (AHI programs or native Delfina audio programs) without slowing much down system's responsiveness. Also DSP clock rate has been risen from 40MHz to 74MHz. Faster clock rate means that even multiple DelFX effects programs will not use up all DSP power, and Delfina Kernel will not need to bring down the sound codec clock rate from 48kHz, as it often does on Delfina Lite. Delfina Plus is capable of 220 million operations per second, which of course means nothing in simple use, but sure comes handy with multiple sound processing with effects piped in. A graphical interface used for sound piping will be introduced. In our tests the effective performance improvement has been much more than the clock rate increase, because faster clock also makes the codec and memory transfer tasks use up smaller portion of total DSP load. User can view the current DSP load with the DelfLoad program. Some advantages of Delfina Plus against other sound cards: o the best AHI support o a free PPC AHI driver licence for Delfina owners coming o the only soundcard supporting infinite number of virtual AHI devices with only one sound card o interpolating mix of virtual AHI devices is made with Delfina's DSP o AHI brings a wide range of applications to Delfina o transparent complex audio effects o DelFX effects applicable to any audio producing program's output or external input o sound piping from program to another o piping with CLI utilities or DelFX software o graphical sound module piping (not available for Delfina Lite yet) o low system load o efficient Zorro bus transfer, large audio buffers on board and the Delfina's digital signal processor take load off Amiga's CPU o programmable DSP o Motorola 56002 programming environment included with sample programs o DelfExp expansion o DelfSer serial expansion now finally available! Delfina Plus is targetted initially at the price range of 220 Euros (about 230 US dollars, VAT excluded). Owners of older Delfina models will have an offer for inexpensive upgrade. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P C B D E S I G N E R N E E D E D 3 June 1999 IAT Manufacturing is currently experiencing an extreem stretch on our existing design staff, especially in PCB design.

NewTek and Nova Design are bringing together some of the most popular programs of the past decade as well as introducing all new material for the Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer. Millennium is being produced in cooperation with Nova Design, Inc., who is managing and coordinating with other developers. Users of the Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer will see more power and greater flexibility in the Flyer's tools. Millennium builds on the existing set of tools in the Flyer's interface. Hundreds of new effects and wipes have been added. All new wipes are professionally designed. Many wipes use live-action to produce the exciting matte wipes the Amiga VideoToaster has been famous for. You can create your own wipes with Wipe Studio - a new addition to the Amiga Toaster/Flyer user's toolkit. Wipe Studio allows you to create your own effects and wipes for the Amiga Toaster/Flyer. This easy-to-use, yet powerful standalone utility leads you through creating your own transitions. There is enough new content to fill several CD-ROMs! There are new fonts, and full color backgrounds for use in Amiga ToasterCG or Amiga ToasterPaint. There are also FlyerClips of video sequences of captured or animated scenes to use as well. A powerful suite of tools is added to the Flyer interface, including compositing tools, rendering tools and audio tools! Hundreds of additional ARexx commands and more content for both Amiga Toaster and Flyer owners! The package comes with several CD-ROMs and a full printed manual designed to be inserted into your Amiga Toaster/Flyer manual for ease-of-use. There will also be a VHS-NTSC videotape introduction to the Millennium package as well. You will need to have at least version 3.1 of the Amiga Toaster software, but 4.2 will be required to use all of the effects, and new software. Availability of the new package has not yet been announced, but it is expected by later this summer. The upgrade price also has not yet been determined. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- S H A R E W A R E A U T H O R S W A N T E D 10 Jun 1999 AmigaSoc the UK usergroup UGN representative body will be hosting a Shareware stall at World of Amiga 1999 Basically there are a number of reason why we are running the shareware scheme, and none of them is to make money! We have been involved with the Amiga for a long time now, and we recognise that a large part of the software available for the Amiga is, or has been at some time, shareware. Software is what keeps a computer alive and with the decreasing commercial market we realise that shareware is becoming more and more important on the Amiga. Here is a list of Shareware authors who have confirmed their participation so far and have agreed for us to sell their products for them. Vapourware Products Virus checker II Alex van Niel F1GP-ED Oliver Roberts PhotoAlbum CyberShow Helmut Hoffmann Webplug Mapplug Esteve Box MagiC64 Michael Kramer ManiacBall Diamond Caves I Diamond Caves II Peter Elzner Star Trek: A Call To Arms Frank Mathieson MysticView Timm S Mueller We are also in negotiation with:- Jean-Francois Fabre and his famous Amiga games patches/hard drive installers. A large number of Amigans use shareware programs but have never registered them. Many want to, but to be honest, find it is too much hassle with conversion rates to change money into foreign currencies, etc. We want to support the Amiga and you in any way we can. We would like to see shareware authors being rewarded for the hard work they have done, and we hope our scheme will encourage you to keep supporting the Amiga. We don't hope to gain anything out of this free service A small fee of maybe 50 pence extra will be charged to customers, to cover our costs of duplicating disks, stand hire, etc), As an organisation we hope to keep the Amiga going, with your help we can. The World of Amiga attracts thousands of Amigans annually. Don't miss out. If you would like to help us to help you, then please contact Chris Livermore of AmigaSoc at chrisl@uk.amigasoc.org for further details.

Fusion and PCx PPC modules will be released *IF* it can be assured that 500 pre-orders for each module are received. In order to make this viable, Microcode Solutions need to receive a minimum of 500 pre-orders. So, if you are interested in Macintosh or PC emulation, but only wish to own PPC versions, you can now do so without having to purchase the 68K programs as well. This will amount to an additional saving to those supporting the PPC pre-order offer. This offer is strictly limited to those pledging to pre-order until the 500 minimum quantity is reached and *only* to those who do not already own the programs. If you would like full details on price and release schedules, and the chance to make your pledge, please visit the following page on our Web Site : http://www.blittersoft.com/mspreorder.htm Please register your support and make this happen! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- F A C T S 2 . 7 F O R T I M E 29th May 1999 FACTS is the only GUI-based SNTP clock syncronisation tool available for the Amiga. It syncronises your system time and/or battery backed-up clock to a server across the Internet that participates in the Network Time project (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp). NTP attempts to keep time accurate to within 200 picoseconds. FACTS is a client implementation of a subset of NTP called SNTP, and aims to keep your computer clock accurate to within 20ms (previous releases - and most other Amiga clock syncronisers - can only manage 1s accuracy!) If there is a problem connecting to your specified server, the new Aninc(tm) technology allows FACTS 2.7 to try an alternative server without needing to know the address! A fully customisable AutoDST implementation means that you only need one program to keep your clock accurate and adjust for summertime when off-line - and it works even if you never reboot. FACTS keeps the TZ environmental variable up-to-date, and also emulates SummerTimeGuard's behaviour for full compatibility with YAM2 (http://www.yam.ch) FACTS can connect to any server on any port number. It supports the sntp, time/udp, time/tcp and daytime services and works with any AmiTCP4 compatible TCP/IP stack. It can be run in the background and controlled via the GUI or ARexx, or simply executed from the CLI when required. Date strings are localised, and the GUI uses GadTools for proper system integration and efficiency. The program is available for free from Aminet ftp://sunsite.org.uk/comm/tcp/facts.lha and more information can be found on the FACTS support page at http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk/facts/ Chris Young Unsatisfactory Software http://www.unsatisfactory.freeserve.co.uk ---------------------------------------------------------------------- " F O R M A T " F O R L A R G E D I S K S 10 Jun 1999 {The following was posted to the web. It should be very welcome to Amigans with large hard drives. Thanks, Ben! Brad} From Ben Hutchings: Back in August I bought myself a new 4.3 gigabyte hard drive to replace the one previously used in my Amiga, which seemed to be about to fail. It was then that I decided to do something about the poor support for such large drives by OS 3.1. I wouldn't have started on this if Heinz Wrobel hadn't already done the necessary work on disk drivers and file-systems. What was missing were replacements for Format and DiskCopy. I quickly wrote an incomplete CLI-only replacement for Format, tested it out, briefly announced it and then left it unfinished. This was not the right thing to do. So over the past month or so I completed all the CLI functionality, added a few extra neat features by request, made sure it worked in just the same way as Format version 40, and added a font-sensitive GUI. In the last 3 days I spotted and fixed 6 minor bugs (nothing dangerous). Nothing much seems to be wrong with it now - except that there are a few parts missing and it isn't localised. If you have a large disk, or just want a nicer looking Format program, perhaps you'd like to try it out and tell me whether it works properly for you? The programmers here might also be able to help me fill in the gaps. (Full source code is included.) You can find it on Aminet as util/sys/BHFormat.lha. You may have to wait a day or so for the current version (43.4) to appear - check the version in the readme file. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- U P D A T E O N U P C O M I N G I - B R O W S E 2 June, 1999 Taller than the tallest building, faster than the fastest plane, it's not just a rumour, it's... (may the power of two be with you) Since Easter we have been SWAMPED, not merely swamped but bigtime SWAMPED, with enquiries about iBrowse 2. Yup, OK, it's our own fault, some Bright Spark (who shall remain nameless but answers to the word "boss") insisted on emailing our ever so slightly massive iBrowse announcements list just before Easter with the news that iBrowse 2 was imminent. Ahem. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this wasn't entirely true. Notwithstanding the fact that Stefan (the author) put the entire project on hold while he stood in line for a week to see the first midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 1, iBrowse 2 is currently still in beta test (build version 20.22 if anyone is interested). And there is a lot to test (take a big breath): full JavaScript 1.2 implementation, HTML 4 support, improved GUI, improved preferences, the cache system has been rewritten (it's now even faster and even easier to use), the table parser has been rewritten (it's now lots faster), spoofing has been implemented, there's external news client support, an improved URL completer, multiple browsers can be opened in one window (controlled by a nifty tab system) plus, of course, plug-in support. And those are just the highlights! Testing is going well and iBrowse 2 is very, very close to being released. We know you are going to love it and as soon as we've ironed out the few remaining glitches we'll be mailing everyone on the iBrowse announcements list with a special pre-release upgrade deal - if you're not already on the list, you can sign-up to it on the FAQ page. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- P P C F U S I O N , P C X - M A Y B E N E V E R 31 May, 1999 How bad do you want PowerPC versions of PCx and FUSION? Microcode Solutions has had hundreds of emails over the last year asking about PowerPC native versions of PCx and FUSION. Because the Amiga market is getting smaller every day, we have had to look at other markets (the PC market specifically). We are very fond of the Amiga, and its superior operation system, but unfortunately we must run a business. After careful consideration, we have decided to put the decision, to you the customer, as to whether we finish PowerPC native versions of PCx and FUSION. What we propose is to accept pre-payment for each product, at a reduced rate from the normal retail price. We would need 500 pre-orders for each product before we would commit ourselves to finishing each product. This must be a two stage process, with the first stage a simple email stating that you would be willing to pre-pay for the product. Once 500 people have emailed us from the 1st stage, we would then begin accepting payments (check, VISA, and M/C). From the time that we begin accepting payments for each product, to the time of completion will be 60 days. If after 60 days, Microcode Solutions is not able to begin shipping, customers may request a full refund or wait until the product is released. The retail price for the PowerPC upgrade modules is $199.95 for each module (PCx and FUSION). If you pre-pay for either product, you will be charge only $149.95. If there are not enough pre-paid orders for either product, we will not finish that product. So, let's begin stage 1: If you are willing to pre-pay $149.95 + $5.00 shipping for the PCx PowerPC upgrade module, click here. If you are willing to pre-pay $149.95 + $5.00 shipping for the FUSION PowerPC upgrade module, click here. DO NOT ALTER THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL MESSAGE! QUESTIONS ASKED USING THIS EMAIL WILL NOT BE ANSWERED! We will be keeping a running total, to let you know just how close we all are to these exciting upgrades! Current number of people willing to pre-pay for the PCx upgrade: 145 Current number of people willing to pre-pay for the FUSION upgrade: 126 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- R E B O L 2 . 0 A N N O U N C E D UKIAH, Calif. - May 11, 1999 - REBOL (pronounced "REB-ul"), the first in a new breed of Internet messaging languages, today revolutionized the exchange and interpretation of network-based information by allowing programs authored in REBOL/core 2.0 to run on more than 15 popular computing platforms without modification. The new version, released today by REBOL Technologies, extends the language's platform and operating system independence and is available for free download at www.rebol.com. Carl Sassenrath, CEO and founder of REBOL Technologies and creator of the Amiga multitasking operating system, said, "With this release, REBOL Technologies continues its mission to simplify computing in the Internet age. REBOL is a messaging language built from the ground up to enable easier global network communication between applications, computers and people. Seasoned programmers, systems and network professionals -- even novice developers -- can quickly put REBOL to use on a daily basis as a powerful, flexible tool for a broad range of practical applications." Rebol/core 2.0 Packs a Robust Set of Features REBOL/core 2.0 is designed to be faster, more reliable, more compact, and more consistent than the prior version. It's less than one half the size of version 1.0, has twice as many features, and operates 35 times faster on average. Other REBOL/core 2.0 benefits include: o Full platform independence so that programs built once can run without modification on most of the popular systems, including BeOS, FreeBSD, Linux, Macintosh, Amiga, SPARC, Windows 95/98/NT, and others; o Server-level power delivered to the hands of ordinary users thanks to built-in network support for common Internet protocols such as CGI, HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, NNTP, daytime, and finger; o A natural set of language features supporting domain-specific dialecting as well as more complete integration of data and functions easily understood by humans (such as money, dates, time, email addresses, URLs, etc.); o A common lexicon independent of any particular country introducing a new, simple, international method of distributed computing. REBOL has very little syntax to learn; meaning that novice users can learn its fundamentals through a short 10-step introduction and become productive within hours. REBOL stores and transfers all of its data as text, allowing it to be sent and received over email, and viewed and edited with a simple text editor. Understanding of networking technology or software structure is not required, making the language especially attractive for the new and growing market of independent and corporate Web developers that have entered the industry from design, publishing, and other non-computer backgrounds. For seasoned professionals, REBOL offers a smooth learning curve for the performance of complex, sophisticated tasks such as distributed object management or invention of new network protocols. REBOL Finds Early Acceptance in Developer Community According to Elan Goldman of Microworks LLC and a 2.0 beta tester, "The combination of the new parse function together with the new built-in CGI support really flies. I was able to convert the long string returned from an HTTP server into a simple REBOL list, which, with two lines of code, selected and validated the credit card data. With just a few more lines, I automatically generated either a personalized thank you message, or one informing the customer of the credit card entry error. Now that's a productivity boost!" REBOL Technologies encourages the open exchange of REBOL-based content over its web site by supporting archives, directories, and warehouses of scripts. Technical support by email and an active mailing list are also available for the REBOL/core user community. Since REBOL's first general release six months ago, the messaging language has attracted nearly 40,000 downloads at www.rebol.com. The company not only continues to distribute REBOL/core free of charge, but will also offer a supported version, REBOL/Alliance 2.0 later this Spring. It will include advanced CGI, LDAP support, calling of external applications, browser plug-in and ODBC. About REBOL Technologies REBOL Technologies was incorporated by AmigaOS creator Carl Sassenrath in March 1998. Based in Ukiah, Calif., the company develops, markets, licenses and supports the REBOL network messaging language. REBOL challenges the common belief that software and development languages must be complex in order to be productive. Unlike alternative programming and scripting languages, REBOL is human-centric rather than computer-centric. By harnessing the powerful capabilities of human-language expression inherent in context-sensitive languages, REBOL breaks through the barriers of computing complexity. The result: REBOL cuts application solution lengths from thousands of lines of code to hundreds. It improves productivity because it is easy-to-learn, easy-to-customize, elegant, and robust. Typical REBOL applications might be email processing, web page management, Internet searching, file transfer, or newsgroup processing. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- H T T P R E S U M E F A K E V E R S I O N 16 May 99 Posted to the net by Andrija Antonijevic Here's the message I wrote to HTTPResume users whose e-mail addresses I know: You received this message because you expressed interest in HTTPResume. If you don't want to receive these announce messages in the future, please tell me. HTTPResume v1.6a appeared on Aminet. It was *not* released by me and it's *not* official HTTPResume release. The latest official release is still v1.6, dated 24-Apr-99 01:22:40 and its size is 107036 bytes. Official archive is 110318, .readme 2109 bytes long. Checking on http://www.bigfoot.com/~TheAntony/HTTPResume/ is the only way to be sure that the new version is out. It will always have information on latest HTTPResume releases and latest HTTPResume archive on local server. I have no connection to v1.6a and can't say whether it has backdoors or anything malicious inside it (I doubt it, though). I have uploaded the official v1.6 archive to Aminet today. If you haven't downloaded "v1.6a", you have no reason to download any comm/www/HTTPResume.lha archive from Aminet for a while since next version (v1.7) won't be released in near future. If you are unsure which version you have, download the official archive from HTTPResume page mentioned above. If you have installed this "new" version, please replace it with the official one. Thank you. ---- The story goes like this: Tonight I received an e-mail message: From: "xxx" Name and address removed to protect the guilty. Subject: HTTP Resume Date: 15 May 1999 10:59:59 GMT Hello, Just to tell you that I find it very childish of you to include propaganda against the war in an Amiga program. If removed the line of text and replaced it with what it should be, and will release this on Aminet within 36 hours as version v1.6a you can stop me by releasing your own version with the message string REMOVED It's your choice That's it, l8er alligator ! [SNIP signature] ---- [The propaganda mentioned is string "Stop NATO bombs!" in title bar of HTTPResume's main window. Any discussion about this to e-mail, please.] I looked at Aminet recent list and found out that HTTPResume v1.6a was there (so much about 36 hours). The guy that uploaded it also decided that he can speak in my name and wrote version history for "v1.6a" making it look like I wrote (the word he likes to use, "childish", comes to mind). The rest can be read in message above. The scary thought is that anyone can replace anything on Aminet with no problems, and there's nothing that can be done about that. It seems that PGP signing is the only solution... ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Amiga Update on the net: All back issues available at: http://www.globaldialog.com/~amigaupdate/index.html {Note new address!} Stop by and check out our archive! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Copyright 1999 by Brad Webb.

ScanQuix 4 News Aktualisierter ScanExpress 600 CP Treiber. Beim Treiber für den ScanExpress 600 CP traten in einigen Fällen Probleme beim Scannen im Graustufen-Modus und bei Calibratix auf. Diese Probleme sind in der neuen Version 4.17.2 beseitigt. Ein Update finden Sie hier. Scannerprofile für ICS im Aminet. Für das frei erhältliche ICS Farbmanagement-System (Aminet: hard/misc/ICS.lha) sind jetzt für einige Scanner fertige Profile verfügbar. Damit kann das ICS mit ScanQuix getestet werden, ohne daß gleich ein Target (Referenzvorlage) angeschafft werden muß. Mit den Profilen lassen sich bereits sehr gute Ergebnisse erzielen, jedoch ist für die optimale Kalibrierung des eigenen Scanners ein Target notwendig. Die Profile sind im Aminet erhältlich (hard/misc/ICSProfiles.lha). Die meisten dieser Profile wurden mit Hilfe von ScanQuix erstellt und lassen sich daher optimal mit ScanQuix nutzen. ICS ermöglicht es, ohne weitere Einstellungen perfekte Scans mit naturgetreuer Farbwiedergabe zu erstellen und ist daher für jeden Benutzer von ScanQuix eine empfehlenswerte Ergänzung. Benutzer von ICS sollten sich beim Autor registrieren lassen. Bei ausreichendem Interesse wird es z. B. eine preiswerte Kalibriervorlage geben, um den eigenen Scanner zu kalibrieren.

AmigaUniverse schließt aufgrund andauernder Probleme mit Provider Wird aber hoffentlich bald wieder unter http://www.amigauni.u-net.com erreichbar sein: It is with regret that, following 100 hours of FTP server downtime, I announce the closure of Amiga Universe, as hosted at http://www.amigauniverse.co.uk. My reasons for this should be clear if you have been a regular visitor to this site since May 1st. Fasthosts, the company who are pretending to host the site, have repeatedly had long downtimes which have prevented both visitors from reading the site, and now, me from updating it. The events of this weekend have been the last straw. Fasthosts, in their infinite wisdom, restored a two month old backup index.html which points users AWAY from the site back to our old U-Net one. I don't often make these kind of attacks, but Fasthosts must be one of the most shambolic (dis)organisations I have ever had the displeasure of encountering. I would not recommend them to my worst enemies. I doubt they could plug in a kettle, much less a whole hosting company. For the time being, until another host can be found, Amiga Universe will be moving back to the U-Net site at http://www.amigauni.u-net.com. This site should be up and running again within the week. My apologies for the repeated problems that have dragged AU through the mud during the last 40 days. It has affected our visitor numbers, our reputation, and had serious consequences on the colour of my hair and amount still on my head. Never, ever use Fasthosts, for your own good. Until AU can find a hoster we can afford, this is me, signing off. Best Regards Peter Price Amiga Universe Webmaster Moving to www.amigauni.u-net.com IRC: Agima @ ARCNet You read it because you're weak ICQ: 15849650 PGP Keys available - just ask :)(ps) [Meldung: 13.

Viruswarnung für PC/Mac-Emu-UserDiese Viruswarnung könnte für die von Interesse sein, die eine PC/MacEmu nutzen. --------------------------------------------------------------- Viruswarnung: Mischung aus CIH&Melissa-Virus aufgetaucht --------------------------------------------------------------- Dem Viruserfinder ist es gelungen einen Virus zu basteln, der sich wie Melissa drastisch per eMail vermehrt und solch einen Schaden anrichtet, wie es der CIH-Virus getan hat. Der Virus mit dem Namen "Worm.Explore.Zip" verbreitet sich, indem er sich selbst an eMail-Adressen des Adressbuches und an die Absender, von denen bereits eine eMail empfangen hat, verschickt. Er benötigt dazu eMail-Programme, die auf Messaging Application Programming Interface (MAPI) beruhen, wie z.b. Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange, Netscape Mail. In der eMail steht folgendes: "I received your email and I shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the attached zipped docs." Der Betreff der eMail ändert sich laufend. Die Datei (zipped_files.exe) ist 210,432 bytes groß. Das Icon der Datei sieht aus, wie das Icon des WinZip Self-Extractors. Beim öffnen der Datei wird folgende Fehlermeldung vorgetäuscht: "Cannot open file: it does not appear to be a valid archive. If this file is part of a ZIP format backup set, insert the last disk of the backup set and try again. Please press F1 for help." Jetzt durchsucht er Ihre Festplatte nach Dateien mit den Endungen: .c, .cpp, .h, .asm, .doc, .xls, or .ppt. Er löscht dann den Inhalt der Dateien, so das die Dateien dann 0 byte groß sind. Der Virus kopiert sich dann in das Systemverzeichnis von Windows unter dem Namen Explore.exe und verändert bei Windows 95 die Datei WIN.INI und bei Windows NT einen Eintrag in der Regestrierung, so daß das Programm jedes Mal ausgeführt wird, wenn der Rechner startet. Um den Virus loszuwerden, muß folgendes unternommen werden: Windows 9x: Starten Sie ihren Rechner im MS-DOS Modus Geben Sie ein: edit C:\Windows\Win.ini löschen Sie fogenden Eintrag: run=c:\windows\system\explore.exe Danach können Sie die Datei C:\Windows\System\explore.exe löschen. Windows NT: Im Task Manager ist der Virus unter dem Namen "explore" zu erkennen. Starten Sie regedit, indem Sie regedit bei Start, Ausführen, eintragen. Löschen Sie aus dem Ordner [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] folgenden Schlüssel "run"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\Explore.exe" Starten Sie Windows NT neu und löschen Sie die Explore.exe im Windows-System32 Verzeichnis. Bei Symantec (www.symantec.de) gibt es schon passende Virus-updates, die man sich auf jedenfall installieren sollte.(ps) [Meldung: 13.

13.Jun.1999 Crew Camp CCC per eMail |
Chaos Communication Camp in der Nähe von Berlin vom 6.-8. August 1999Moin Hackergemeinde, nachdem es lange viel zu still um das Camp geworden ist, geht es jetzt richtig los. Nach langer Verzögerung sind nun die FAQ und aktualisierte Projektbeschreibungen online. http://www.ccc.de/camp/faq.html http://www.ccc.de/camp/projects.html Außerdem kann man sich ab sofort für Camp registrieren lassen, damit man seinen Ticket auch sicher bekommt. Als Dankeschön für die Vorbezahlung des Tickets gewähren wir dabei auch einen Nachlaß um DEM 20,00, so daß der Eintritt für normale Teilnehmer nur noch DM 130 beträgt. Wir wollen damit auch den Leuten mit etwas weniger Knete im Portemonnaie entgegenkommen. http://www.ccc.de/camp/register.html Anfahrtsbeschreibung sowie Informationen für unsere Freunde von der Presse folgen in Kürze. Wer am Camp teilnehmen will und auch alle anderen weiteren Informationen zur Veranstaltungen nicht verpassen will, sollte http://www.ccc.de/camp/update.html in seine Bookmarks aufnehmen oder sich gleich auf der Camp-Announce Mailingliste einschreiben. Dort wird jedes Update und vor allem die stets aktuelel FAQ gepostet. mailto:camp-announce-subscribe@lists.ccc.de Alle Informationen auf der Web Site und dem FAQ sind in englisch, da das Camp eine internationale Veranstaltung ist und wir derzeit den Aufwand für eine bilinguale Information nicht leisten konnten. Wer Probleme mit der englischen Ansprache hat oder auch nur noch weiter - in der FAQ nicht berücksichtigte - Fragen hat, sollte sich an die Camp Crew wenden: mailto:crew@camp.ccc.de Wer Zewit und Lust hat, sich beim Camp als Freiwilliger der Crew anzuschließen und beim Aufbau des Netzwerks und des Camps mitzuhelfen, melde sich ebenfalls bei der Crew. Viel Spaß am Gerät Das Chaos ------ JOIN THE CHAOS COMMUNICATION CAMP, 6-8.8.1999, http://www.ccc.de/camp/ ------ Visit the Chaos Computer Club Web Site at http://www.ccc.de All your questions will get an answer: http://www.ccc.de/faq.html(ps) [Meldung: 13.
