`18.Apr.2001` Voyager Mailinglist	Aminet: Flash-Update for PPC-Cards a Fake The flush-update of PPC-cards (flashupdates.lha, size 940kbyte) which was uploaded on April 17th, 2001 is a fake which was not written by Ralph 'Laire' Schmidt being the author of PPC-software as he confirmed. Ralf: "No..i haven't uploaded it. I notified the aminet admins to remove it." Matthias Scheler, who is the co-admin of the Aminet, confirmed to amiga-news.de that the supposed ppc-update has been removed. Each user who downloaded and installed the flash update is advised to remove it and to control the integrity of the software by using a current anti-virus-software because it is possible that it is a virus or a Trojan. Ralph Schmidt furthermore confirmed that he would never upload PPC-updates to the Aminet. The only sources for his Flash-Updates are: DCE (pub/ppc/) DCE (pub/060/) MorphOS Vapor (temporary out of order) [News message: 18.

The design of the menus has been reworked and sub-menus have been added to the start-menu. Other characteristics can be now configured above all the background pattern and the aligment of the text. Download: choowin.lha - 32 kB Choowin is a small help program starting programs and putting windows to the foreground and activating them. It is comparable with a task-manager.

`18.Apr.2001` Jan Devos via E-Mail	3ivx News In future licence fees will be charged for using 3ivx as the following press release supposes. Private users pay 10$, commercial users pay 400$. 3ivx is a video-compression-format for MPEG4 which is used by some Amiga-programs as SoftCinema and MooVId. Press Release: 3ivx, solving the streaming video problem Truly multi-platform MPEG-4 video means encode anywhere, play everywhere April 17, 2001 - Happy Machines releases its third preview version of the 3ivx codec. 3ivx takes video compression to a higher level. This is the first release which includes a free personal test encoder as well as a version for MacOS X. <http://www.3ivx.com/> <http://www.hollywood.org/3ivx/> "Streaming video is very important for our customers," says Marcel Bor of On The Road, an Equant Service Provider "That's why I am extremely pleased with the quality of 3ivx movies, even better than Real 8!" This release includes a lot of enhancements resulting in improved video playback while maintaining small file sizes and low bit-rates. Technically this translates into: - Scheduled Asynchronous Decompression - Advanced frame queue management - FrameCache and Flextime Frame management - Hardware Accelerated YUV Output The encoder and the decoder are available on the site for immediate download. There are 3 versions of the codec available, a free test codec, a $10 version for personal use and a $400 version for commercial use. 3ivx is a natural video compression system that is compliant with MPEG-4v3. The strengths lay in its open architecture, multi-platform approach (Windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix, BeOS and Amiga) and it's high compression ratio which compresses video's and moving images to one thirteenth (1:13) of the size of a DVD or MPEG-2 movie while maintaining approximately the same quality. Happy Machines is a Belgian company that represents a creative team and a large international network of inventors, software and hardware developers, designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on project development and related intellectual properties. [News message: 18.

`17.Apr.2001` Andre Jansen on ANF	Software for Studying Languages for the AMIGA At the title link you will find software to learn: Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Russian, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish with the AMIGA (CD-ROM) This software is not new, it is more like a sales out, but there is no such software then so it is worth to mention. I have bought this software and like it. This is a training for vocabulary and speaking (with digitalized voices), and for Asian and Russian languages with the special letters. The vocabulary is presented by pictures, the computer prints on a click on a thing the respective word (with translation if wanted) and plays a sample of the word. A training/quiz is available, too. Also there is a short summary of the most important rules of grammar (in English). For the version to learn Japanese you can download a demo version from the website. The programme is available in different versions for OS1.x and OS 2.x and higher, but even this is some years old, so it will open on PAL or NTSC screen. You can promote it without any problem to any screen mode you like, it runs even on a 68060 and with OS 3.9 and MagicMenu. [News message: 17.

`16.Apr.2001`	New amiga-news.de main page You sure realized by coming here today, we implemented our English news page to the same PHP-system already used for our German page, since some time. Now you are able to chose your preferred and private settings for displaying the start page. There are several possibilities you can chose from the buttons above. You can determine if the page should be displayed showing complete news messages (standard button) or with a compact version of each message on it (compact button). You can also determine the number of messages shown or if you rather want a titles only version (titles only button), and all that for a certain number of days. Just play around with the buttons and press 'Show' to find out what meets your needs, best. Default setting is 'Per page 3 days - titles only'. Furthermore you can chose if you only want messages regarding Amiga to be displayed or if you want to see other messages, too. Just tag/untag the respective check-box. Once you found your preferred settings you can update your bookmark to have this available all the time. You can also use the cookies function to have a cookie saved with your settings (check-box). If you prefer the prior display use amiga-news.de/en/news/standard/ for your bookmark. One more feature is the possibility for you to comment news messages. To do so click on the "Comments:" link below any news message or on the number below the comments item to the right of the respective message in the title only version. We hope you like the new possibilities. Have fun! Supplement 03 June 2001 Sorry, the system doesn't work properly, by now. For example it is not possible to change settings. Be sure, we are working on it. And sorry for the wrong date of this message, too. We are also working on that problem. We ask you for your understanding. Supplement 03 June 2001 Everything seems to work now, incl. changing settings for the start page. There's just this date thing left, but only for this message. I'm currently not able to post messages for the English page, only. This might change in the future. If you encounter any problem using the new start page, please mail me or post a comment to this message. Update 01.05.2002: Accepting cookies new and updated messages will be presented in bold stamp. Update 04.01.2003: Here you will find more changes. Update 25.03.2004: voluntary registry in the comment area More details see in the following messages: 09.03.2004, 19.03.2004 and 24.03.2004.

`16.Apr.2001` AROS-ML - Aaron Digulla	AROS News Since there has been some confusion, here are some reliable infos about the relationship between AROS and MorphOS. MorphOS wants to provide an Amiga clone and they need some code to fill gaps in their emulation (for example, parts of Intuition). They asked us if they could use our work and, being an open source project, we "allowed" them to port parts of AROS to MorphOS. This is exactly the same what we did when Haage&Partner approached us whether they can use our Colorwheel gadget in OS 3.9 which we "allowed", too. I say "allowed" because that is essentially what we want them to do :-) AROS is meant as a test laboratory to develop new technologies which might prove useful for the next versions of the AmigaOS. We do this independently of Amiga Inc, MorphOS and H&P but always with the goal to provide them with something useful as well as providing adventurous Amiga users with something that feels quite familiar. So AROS and MorphOS have not "joined forces" or become one project. MorphOS just uses part of our work which is what our work is meant for. [News message: 16.
