... A historical moment ... (update)
This evening, on the 20. February, there is a moment for one minute which has been only one time, more than thousand years ago!!
Two minutes after 8 pm we will have the following date:
20:02 20.02.2002
This is a register with a perfect symmetry and is called "Palindrom".
This has been happened at
10:01 10.01.1001
more than thousand years ago. This will not happen any more because the maximal digital marking of a day is 23:59. On 30.03 3003 this will not be possible because we do not have 30 hours!
See you!
Peter Glauser
CEO / Manager
webware.ch GmbH
Addendum:
Lizard has pointed out in a commentar that there is another Palindrom on 21:12 21.12.2112 - but this will still last a while :)

to the game, additionally the mouse control and the CD32 Joypad Control
was enhanced. Also the AlphaTexture settings for the Warp3D Renderer of
Freespace are now always configured correctly, so that Voodoo 3 owners
do not need to set the Alpha manually. The update is for download for
registered users of Freespace for AmigaOS. There are two seperate
archives, one for PPC, one for 68k.

Turtle Lightning Amiga Software has been in business since 1992 supplying

Owned and operated by Terry Fike out of Midland, Texas, USA, Turtle
Lightning Amiga Software has finally decided to go out of the Amiga
business.
Accordingly, all of our prices are rock-bottom, and when a title sells
out it will be removed from the catalog. Prices are just pennies on the
dollar of the original retail, so get 'em while they last!

AROS Update from 12.02.2002
Work on the Amiga Research Operating System is making progress. Details of
the most recent development can be found over at the AROS website
(title link). In summary, various bugs all over AROS have been dealt with,
a lot of changes to the underlying framework (the build process) were
introduced, the Palm flavor has been worked on and both minor and major
enhancements have been made (including the long awaited "pci.hidd", which
is meant to communicate with all sorts of hardware within the computer
thru higher level hardware interfaces, such as the brand new "nvidia.hidd"
- although still in a juvenile stage, the "Hardware Independant Device
Driver"-system is expected to grow in the future).

Amiga Future: New Q2 Screenshots
There are some new Screenshots of our Quake 2 port (which is in the final
stages of developement) available at the interactive section of Amiga
Future (see title link).
This time these screenshots are coming from the "engine modification"
Q2Max. With our port we are optionally adding support for Q2Max.
There will be two executables in our port, one for the "normal"
Quake 2, and one for Q2Max. Q2Max enhanced (among other things)
the particle effects of Quake 2 in a *major* way (the new effects
really remind a bit of Quake 3 IMHO!) There is no big speed loss.
Please note, that Q2Max has quite huge memory requirements - but well,
it is only optionally. You can as well run the "normal" Quake 2
executable. Both executables are included in the port and can be
installed parallely. Both Quake 2 and Q2Max can be played together
in Multiplayer without any problems. Steffen Haeuser.

Virus Help Denmark: Virusz III v0,96 bug
After a lot of bug-reports about the new VirusZ III v0,96, the
Bug has been found. If you use a screen size under 800x600,
VirusZ III v0,96 can not do the filecheck, the you must use
VirusZ III v0,94b until Georg Hoermann has made an new update
of VirusZ III. Here is what Georg wrote to me:
> -- email start --
I already received lots of those bug reports, and I have already
found the bug. Dirk increased the window size and didn't test it
on plain 640 pixel screens, so VZ 0.96 refuses to work on that
resolution. I didn't notice that because I use a 800x600
screen :-
The bugfix is on the way, but I maybe add some other features
to VZ first..
- Georg....

VirusZ III v0,94b can be found on our website. Quicklink here:

Story: Fighting Nintendo by means of a fly swat
In the middle of the 80s Nintendo had with NES a market share of
90% in the US and in Japan. In the above Telepolis article Konrad
Lischka describes Sega's idea to opt out of Nintendo and create
his own market. By means of Sega Console a new market for adults was established
since also older people without any PC experience could now find easy access
to video games.

Virus Help Denmark: WatchDog 2.7
On 16 February 2002 Zbigniew Trzcionkowski released version 2.7
of his memory surveillance tool 'WatchDog'. Compared to version 2.5
the following modifications have been made.
- added checking of some BCPL stuff (which is totally harmless since
os37+ anyways).
- CallGVptr - ROM check
- EndGVptr - ROM check
- GlobVecTable - checksumming, that should detect patches of any GV
based viri including imaginary ones like GlobVec144 ;)
Thanks to Thomas Richter and Holger Hippenstiel for information
about GV that helped me a lot...
- added new tooltype 'NoGlobVec' to skip tests described above - it is
already set in the icon as nobody beside me needs these checks!
- added notification of LIBS:xvs.library
- added some additional stuff to tc_launch/tc_switch checker
- changed timing routine
- ToolTypes: NoSwitch and NoLaunch are no longer debug only :P
- kicked bonus stuff due to lack of users' interest

Amiga Arena: Status and interviews with N. Blachford and D. Westerberg (Update)
Amiga Arena - status report
In his status report
Olaf Köbnik makes a personal statement about the current situation of
Amiga Arena. It seems that he doesn't want to give up his activities
completely, he just wants to cut them down a little.
Amiga Arena - interview with Nicholas Blachford
Recently Amiga Arena has drawn attention to the sources of the sampler
software Aural Illusion.
Its further development has been authorized by the author Nicholas
Blachford. Amiga Arena's interview with the ex-Amiga developer
is by far the most comprehensive interview in the history of Amiga Arena
and full of really interesting statements. At the moment the interview is
available online in
English.
Amiga Arena - interview with Daniel Westerberg
Apart from Stefan Blixth also Daniel Westerberg belongs to
OnyxSoft. Programs such as
MultiRen, Detris or DRemind are very popular. The interview with
Daniel Westerberg is available under
German and
English.
Update 18.02.2002:
The interview with Nicholas Blachford there is now available also in
German.

SPIEGEL: "TRONLAND.NET" - Murdered because of a telephone?
»The Berlin public prosecutor's office has ceased the investigations in the
"death case Tron". But his friends believe less than ever in suicide of the
hacker after having done own investigations.
The file is closed, Tron's CCC friends open it again -
in the web.«
Full (German) article see title link.
As already reported are friends
of Boris just building up a website named Tronland.
Documents, media reports and memories of Tron will be published on this website.
In the view of the friends shall the documents proof that the public prosecutor's office is wrong in
closing the file.
The website shall on the one hand help to bring under circumstances some light
in the dark around the death of the encryption expert and on the other hand give
a portrait of the human behind the hacker.

Amiga Impact online again
After quite some time being offline because of several reasons and several problems is our French partner site Amiga Impact now online
again and will supply the French speaking Amiga users regularly with Amiga news
in their native language.
»Après quelques longues semaines d'absence, votre site Amiga Impact est
(enfin) de retour.
Diverses raisons et divers problèmes (la plupart d'ordre privé), ont été à
l'origine de cette suspension de la maintenance du site. La situation s'étant
aujourd'hui arrangée, il ne devrait donc plus y avoir de gros problèmes à
l'avenir.
Amiga Impact va donc pleinement retrouver son allure de croisière dans les
jours à venir, avec l'arrivée de nouvelles rubriques.
Si vous rencontrez un problème lors de l'utilisation des services
d'Amiga Impact, n'hésitez pas à écrire à

Games developer Ascaron: Successful recovery plan after insolvency
In September 2001 the games developer Ascaron from Gütersloh, Germany, was forced to file application for insolvency
(we reported).
A successful recovery plan Ascaron made it possible to save 80 jobs and they can restart as Ascaron Entertainment GmbH.
After the creditor congregation last week in unison agreed to accept the recovery plan of the insolvent old company the newly founded Ascaron Entertainment GmbH can touch-and-go. It has taken over all the rights including the Ascaron brand and also is employer of the present staffers.
In the early 90th Ascaron has developed also and just for the Amiga many popular games like ´Hanse - Die Expedition´, ´Anstoß´,
´Anstoß World Cup´, and ´Der Patrizier´, and later relocated developments to the PC.
