AMP 2
Mathias "AmiDog" Roslund has posted some important comments about his movieplayer "AMP 2" on his website. Among other things he points out that the prefs-format has changed. Therefore all the former AMP.cfg files must be deleted before you can use the new version. Some option were had, names of options were changed or options have been removed, and may not be used in the old way anymore. More informations can be found under the title link at the "AMP 2" section.

EU-Commission starts Poll about Software Patents
"The European Commission has started a poll about patents on computer programs, so-called "computer-implemented inventions". Prior to this is the EU's fear that the lack of EU-standard provisions of law in this sector could slow down economic growth, competitive capacity and development of the internal market. The commission has asked concerned institutions, companies, the public, and the member-states to express themselves about a probe document from the commission's departements. The commission will state its final position concerning this subject around beginning of 2001."
Complete article under the title link. (German)

Merlancia Announces New Products Running on the AmigaDE
Merlancia announced a new product line that will run on the AmigaDE. From the Palmtop PC to tower and laptops everything is represented.

In this context, it might be interesting to point out Merlancia's Collection of Amiga and Commodore antiques and curios and prototypes and his 1974 AMX. There are lots of pictures of the prototypes.

BlueRibbon Soundworks Inc. Is Alive ...

Nearly 5 years after the take over of Blue Ribbon Soundworks Inc. by Microsoft, I received the official permission from Todor Fay (the former boss) to post all of Blue Ribbon Inc.'s products for download on my newly created homepage. Until now, the software could only be (officially and legally) acquired if you happened to be a member of Compuserve.com (USA).

I'm very grateful to Todor Fay (and surely every other musically interested AMIGA-user does so) for this permission, because in my opinion programs even though those have great functionality never have achieved this level of user-friendliness. They fit so nicely into the AMIGA system that they run on OS 3.1 and on graphic-boards (promote with NewMode) without any problem.

Bars&Pipes can be expanded by its tools and accessories to such an extend that it is in a certain way "updatable".

MorphOS: CygnusEd Professional 4.21
An official PPC port of the text editor "CygnusEd Professional V4.21" has been released for MorphOS. This port needs the original CygnusEd4-CD-ROM as a basis. During the installation of the patch, the 68k version stays untouched so that it can still be used in case one would like to install both versions on the same partition. The updated frontend recognizes whether the editor has been started under MorphOS or AmigaOS an then loads the corresponding binary. This update can also be downloaded at Schatztruhe. more ...

AminetGUI - Update
Alexander Kurtz wrote:
The AminetGUI is once again free from commercial banners and PopUp windows. The AminetGUI has also found a new server. I would like to thank Ingo Bowe once more for providing his server.

During the move, AminetGUI has been restructured. The new structure permits to provide new language versions of AminetGUI in a simple way. A developer archive with a matching template in the download area will be available soon. Spanish will be the first language to be added. Many thanks in advance to Tomás J. Cantóy Diez. More translators are always welcome.

I would also like to thank Buster who send me the German version of the Aminet-Upload.docs some while ago. Those can be reached at the Docs area. Due to the move I also drop the Link area. Links are handled by the Amiga-Gateway from now on.

Statusreport about Descent: Freespace 'The Great War'
Hyperion Entertainment Software is working on a port of "Descent: Freespace 'The Great War'". The game already runs in software-render-mode. The engine still needs some optimization before work on the 3D acceleration can begin. Furthermore Ben Yoris tolled us that there is still hope for a version running on 060 or 040 CPUs with Warp3D.

Dreamworlds Development is Looking for One More Musician
Because Audun Evensen (our musician up to now) does not have enough time anymore we have decided to engage another musician. She/He should get along with each possible kind of music, work on time, be well up in editing samples and of course should be interested in games. Having a sampler, good hardware (PPC) and knowledge in English are advantageous but not necessary. Of course you are participated in proceeds from the sales. First (and urgent) music for Crossfire II is needed. Here is Techno or something like that sufficient. It`s all right if different kinds of music are used provided that it fits to hard action. :) I prefer stirring classical music but it is hard to handle with the computer. Furthermore some intermediate progression have to set to music (own format). After finishing CF2 (if a further co-operation is desired) we need right music (medieval, atmospheric, classical, sometimes rock music) instead of Techno for our next game called "Between The Lines", a role-playing in real time. Those ones who are interested in (or have any questions) please mail to stefan@dreamworlds.de with a demo work or state an internetaddress where I can find such a sample. A few information about yourself and your hardware configuration would be useful.

New UAE-JIT Version for Linux
On October 14th, Bernie Meyer has released a new version of his JIT compiler for UAE running on Linux. While the stock UAE only interprets the 68k Amiga software, the JIT compiler converts the programs to x86 code at runtime, making them run significantly faster. This version, code-named "Everton", contains the following changes:
  • FPU support.
  • SIGSEGV handler for direct memory access. This option offers the best performance and is highly recommended.
  • Optimisations and according speed increase
  • better timing

AmigAIM 0.9396 beta
On October 15th, 2000 Richard H. Poser has released the beta version 0.9396 of AmigAIM. This program makes it possible to use the AOL-Instant-Messenger-system "AIM". Compared to the previous version the following has changed:
  • I think I isolated the problems with the Password being saved improperly, Capitalization and Spacing in ScreenName used for signon should no longer matter - I found that an Earlier built in data conversion was attempting a conversion anyway if spaces were used in the ScreenName in the Signon. I call the problem, the "amazingly growing password"
  • I also now restrict the length of the ScreenName and PassWord entry blocks to a maximum of 16 characters (Longest AIM will allow anyway. Not sure why I hadn't done this already)
