IOSPIRIT founded, takeover of Innovative products
At the end of the year 2000, fxSCAN 3.0, the first program for optical character recognition (OCR) for the AMIGA for a long time, has been officially presented. The program AMIGA-users longed for such a long time was ordered that often within the first few weeks of availability that the infrastructure of Innovative couldn't keep pace any more.

Felix Schwarz, author of such powerful and popular graphics applications like fxSCAN, fxPAINT, Ultraconv and VHI Studio, made the decision to create an own company from Innovative, the AMIGA-division (led by Felix Schwarz) of the software-company of his father, renew the whole internal infrastructure and organisation, expand the business areas and to further extend and improve the customer service.

On the 2nd of January 2002 IOSPIRIT was founded by Felix Schwarz in Herzogenaurach. The enterprise has two main fields of business activity:

In development special focus is put on the support of the latest technologies and easy usability while still offering maximum power, flexibility and expandibility.

AmigaActive-successor "digital" will be collimated
At the AmigaActive mailing list editor Neil Bothwick confirmed that the magazine "digital" will be collimated. That magazine has been thought of to be the successor of the last English Amiga print magazine "AmigaActive" but could not prevail at least. The reason might be a wrong positioning at the market and the still not enough interest for that so called "digital convergence". (ps) (Translation: ub)

GFX-BASE: Interview with Coyote Flux
Richard Kapp:
We have a new and very interesting (English) interview at the GFX-BASE: This time we have spoken with the software-group 'Coyote Flux', programmers of CoyoteSound or the PC SNES emulation SuperAmicon. The members of Coyote Flux revealed some new details of their newest project JMiner (a software, which uses video-streams to generate out of the surface a complete 2D or 3D model).

Furthermore Coyote Flux disclosed while the interview, that they own a G3/G4 Amiga-based supercomputer. Sure we had to request and they told us this would not be a late April fool hoax and futher details will be given to public in the close future. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Given the past history of Amiga, I am happy to see that the company has been taken over by true fans of the Amiga OS, who have a workable vision.

Development of GoldED Studio for AmigaOS stopped
Developer's Notice - Discontinued
I regret to inform AmigaOS users that all software on this web site is now discontinued (due to lack of time on my side to continue with AmigaOS software development).

What will happen to the BASIC interpreter?
Expect the source code to be made available under the GPL in the near future (in a nutshell, a GPL is a public domain license).

What will happen to the GoldED Studio software?
GoldED will remain available as a commercial product while stock lasts. Personal technical support will end this year. No future updates for AmigaOS will be released from the original developer. (ps) (Translation: dr)

Amiga Arena: Interview with Jakub Brzezniak
Not only the commercial Amiga game market has been almost vanished but also the PD game market! You cannot find new interesting games on Aminet except some few ones. Because of that it is more than pleasing that from time to time some little "WB mind"-games like "Swapper" or "Magic Numbers" are published.

Jakub Brzezniak of "Magic Software" who is the developer of the above mentioned games answers in an English spoken interview the standard questions of the Amiga Arena. But it is less pleasing that future versions of the games will be probably published only for the PC! (ps) (Translation: dr)

Back to the Roots Amiga-News 237
Easter is over but the rabbits are still busy. The lovely rabbits from "Back to the Roots" brought you some nice surprises with their latest update.

If you have a look at their Easter nest you'll find games like Rings of Medusa, Super Cars 1+2, Genetic Species Heimdall 2, Larry 1 Remake, Sherman M4, Pinball Magic and many others. Besides that many scene demos from the fantastic Mekka+Symposium 2002 demo party have been added, more music from the demoscene came online and the picture galleries are now containing some extremely colorful little eggs.

Happy (late) egg shaking! (ps)

individual Computers supports Commodore One project
Commodore One is a C-64 compatible computer with lots of added features that has been under development for more than a year now. The project is close to completion, and the first production run can be started within the next three months. Individual Computers will support Jeri Ellsworth, the developer of the new computer, with money, sourcing of material and knowledge about small quantity production.

The new board will be distributed in Europe by individual Computers, so it will be available from all our trade partners mentioned on the contact page.

Jeri Ellsworth, the former owner of the "Computer made easy" stores, will sell all retrocomputing-related products from our product line, such as the Retro Replay, the Catweasel floppy controller and the "Retro Replay plus Silversurfer" combination. (ps)
