Statement from H&P about Amithlon
»The current differences between every party involved with the Amithlon project are by way not that easy as they are described in the internet discussions - often from one perspective only. Our contract regarding the distribution rights for Amithlon is still valid. We have been reluctant with public statements, cause we try to resolve the differencs between the parties privately. We want to resolve the problem and would like to see the contract being fulfilled by all parties. The internet audience can not help with these negotiations and will often be used, to spread the own oppinions as the only ones that are true. Also the one, who cries the loudest, just expresses the own perspective. To solve the conflict round on Amithlon it is important to mediate between the different perspectives in private negotiations.« (ps)

A. Schmidt / Aminet Recent Uploads (ANF)


Andreas Kleinert removes PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet (Update)
Andreas Kleinert has, like can be seen from the last extract of the recent file, removed his PPC/WOS datatypes from the Aminet by placing empty archives there.

The appended readme says the following:
PPC/WOS support for this datatypes has been dropped as with V45.1.

Update 26.09.2002:
We asked Andreas Kleinert via e-mail the following question: Might you give amiga-news.de a brief statement about the deletion of the PPC/WOS datatypes at the Aminet?

Andreas Kleinert:
"I just wanted to "clean up" a little bit ;-)

The support for WOS was even stopped earlier, WOS user had to use the ppclib-emu already.

The PPC support was abandoned with V45.1, regarding to the 68k only versions 45.x it would be irritating if the 44.x PPC modules were still left at he Aminet.

Those who would like to use the 44.x 68k datatypes with the 44.x PPC plugins should use the last recent public version from an Aminet CD. The (now) free keyfile is still available from the Aminet."

Within a comment someone wrote: If you don't like to continue to support the PPC versions of your datatypes it is your choice, but if you take the possibility for registered users to download the latest version of theses datatypes this is a shame in my view.

Andreas Kleinert:
This hasn't been my intention, I just wanted to avaoid trouble if people try to use the 44.x PPC plugins in addition to version 45.x . The PPC modules are still to get from the Aminet CDs. But one thing I have to state here: My personal opinion is that the Aminet should not have to be seen as a backup medium for everybody.

Warp3D V5 becomes NOVA
Hans-Jörg Frieden from Hyperion Entertainment states on the AmigaOS 4 mailing list: "Warp3D will be named 'NOVA' on OS 4 (Ami3D on AmigaDE). The initial release will still be Warp3D V4.x. The original plan called for Warp3D V5 to be delivered with OS 4, but that was at a time where we where to do Warp3D and OS 4 would come from someone else :-) In the final NOVA release, we'll include developer guides, tutorials and example source code, and hopefully one or two bigger show-off demos with source code."

We're Being Watched - Scientific Paper on the Computer Scene!

This has to do with an English language 23 page scientific document from George Borzyskowsky of Perth University, a document which is concerned with the subjects of `The Hacker Scene' and associated cultural art forms. The PDF (title link) is an interesting read and offers food for thought, that here a person standing entirely outside the computer scene tries to analyze it. For his research the scientist used old Aminet CDs and editions of Amiga demo scene diskmags, such as RAW and Grapevine.
