News from Merlancia (Update)
Update 22.12.2002:
I have completely removed the text and corresponding links of this report,
because it became clear through telephone calls and emails that it was not
[fully] about a news matter, but about a private conflict that has no
business being publically aired.

Catweasel Software Updates
The Windows drivers for the PC-versions of the Catweasel controller
(ISA and the new MK3 PCI/Flipper versions) have been updated. The
most important change is the support for C64-disks, minor bugs have
been fixed in the diskimage-tool. The new combination of programs
also breaks a small record: A C64-disk is read completely in slightly
more than 9 seconds. The archive also contains some textfiles for
programmers who want to take advantage of the interfaces or the
SID of the controller.

CCC: Website of the 19th Chaos Communication Congress is Online
The website of 19C3 (19th Chaos Communication Congress) is online. There is where you'll find all the important advance information about
this year's congress, which takes place from the 27th to the 29th of December in "Haus Am Köllnischen Park (HAKP)" in Berlin. The entrance
fee for one day for non-members is 20 euros, for a multiday pass it's 40 euros. There are discounts offered if a valid student ID is presented
and children under the age of 12 enter costlessly, when accompanied by an adult.
The Chaos Communication Congress is a three day event about Technology, Society, and Utopia. The Congress offers performances and
workshops on a variety of topics having to do with Information Technology, computer security, Internet, Cryptography, and the critical creative
intersection with technology, as well as the effects of technological development on society.
The Chaos Communication Congress is the yearly specialty congress of the Chaos Computer Club e.V. (CCC). The congress takes place this
year for the 19th time and has its origins in the "European Hacker Party" of 1984.
The congress is not only for techno freaks, but also for anyone interested in the utilizations and effects. Near the conference program there
are other elements of the congress such as the Art&Beauty project, the Labor, the Chaos Archive, the Hack Center and the 6th German
championship in lock picking.

Test Program MpegMasterPlayer (made with Hollywood)
Here comes a test program named MpegMasterPlayer (downloadable under the title link), which was put together with Hollywood. It's
really a player built on mpega. Further, I would like to state that this player and a few other programs originated only with this Amiga
editor, because the scripting language of Hollywood is very simple.
Attention: the archive includes only executables (no script data). Because of this you can't examine the program code. In order to modify
the program code, you'll need the complete Hollywood pack. Additionally the three most important libraries are in the archive, and
these are needed to run the executables. Because the player currently only supports Amithlon's Soundblaster 128, you won't hear any
music on a normal Amiga (so this should be seen as only a demo of what is possible with Hollywood).

Hollywood now available also for MorphOS (Update)
A native MorphOS version of Hollywood is now available. This PPC version
is of course much faster than the 68k one, so many effects can now be
displayed in real time at an acceptable speed (on 68k computers most of
the CPU intensive effects were precalculated and displayed then to make
them appear smoothly). It is already very fast on my Blizzard PPC with
200 MHz so it should really fly on a Pegasos system.

More screen shots of Crossfire II
At the APC&TCP page there were more screen shots from the game Crossfire II published.
With the new screen shots it's even better to see that Crossfire is not a simple
shooter but a game with comlexe missions, much variations and a big
factor of addiction. The game is available at APC&TCP directly.
