Amiga Arena: ArtPRO 1.20b - Interview with Frank Pagels
Amiga Arena - Full Version ArtPRO 1.20b
In cooperation with Frank Pagels the Amiga Arena makes possible the ArtPRO full version download.

About the image converter ArtPRO
ArtPRO supports a variety of file formats like ILBM, GIF, TIFF, BMP, and PCX. It can even load more using datatypes. ArtPRO also supports some raw formats like chunky. Images can be saved as bitplane, chunky or truecolor, as binary or source.
ArtPRO's source generator is capable of creating copper lists and sprites. The program offers very fast down calculation of images of very good quality, has a palette optimizer and real time colour bias also working with true colour pictures.

Development to be continued?
ArtPRO was written in 100% assembler. Who seriously would like to continue development might contact Frank Pagels. It really would be a pleasure if someone would do so.

Amiga Arena - Interview
The Amiga Arena talked to Frank Pagels, developer of "ArtPro", about development history and how this all begun. This interview is available in German. (ps) (Translation: mj)

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko v1.3 with extended ROM support
Akiko 1.3 was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link). This new version features now support for the so called extended ROMs of the CD32 and the CDTV. This means that Akiko is now able to show the cool boot animations of both consoles as well as launch the funky applications stored in those ROMs, for example the CD32 and CDTV's audio CD player, CD32's NV RAM editor and language selector and the CDTV preferences program.

Some screenshots of these ROM specific features are available in the Akiko section of the Airsoft Softwair homepage. If you haven't got a ROM image but a CD32 or CDTV, you can use the freshly released RipROM tool which is now also available. RipROM saves the extended ROMs from the CD32 & CDTV to a file which you can use with Akiko then. Additionally the emulation was improved in Akiko 1.3. (ps)

GeoWorldŽ: DeveloperTool finished
The GeoWorld-DeveloperTool is finished and is available in a first public version 1.6 for download. With the GeoWorld DeveloperTool you are able to update and extend existing informations of countries, cities, and international organizations.

Because all text informations about countries, cities and organizations are saved with special index numbers as filename it was nearly impossible for the user (without knowledge of the program interna) to change/extend the informations by himself.

This tool makes it now possible to edit the files via mouseclick or keyboard. (ps) (Translation: gf)

DTP: PageStream Version 4.1.3
On monday 12 Feb the release of a new PageStream version was released.

I've just uploaded the second Amiga release, and the first platform release for 4.1.3. Some minor 4.1 problems may crop up, but I expect this to be a pretty solid release.

4.1.3 for the other 2 platforms will occur over the next few days, bringing everyone up to speed.

Thanks for your support! Enjoy!

Thomas Frieden: More Infos about OS4
Thomas Frieden about the status of OS4:

The informations stated in an earlier update are still valid. No big breakthroughs in the last week (but none are planned, though ;) ).
The Exec Kernel is running in a Simulator (parallel to the normal system). In this time it is ported to the hardware platform.
The rest of the components is in different states of finishing. Some are finished but are waiting for the final converting onto the new kernel (this means just only a recompilation of it).

This is a hint for those who want to start with developing for OS4: Develop for 68k. The sources will be fixed with minor changes to OS4 (it means only one or two lines are added to the sourcecode). You can use the normal Exec API. We will release a beta version for developers that will document the new functions (about 20). It should be a change to PPC at least.

About the computers OS4 will be running on: OS4 needs the Amiga chipsets. Maybe we can change this until release, but that is improbable because some dependencies are placed where you never expect them (e.g. devices). Supported computers are all with Amiga chipsets like CyberstormPPC, AmigaOne, and (maybe) BlizzardPPC (I'm sorry but not all problems with the Blizzard are solved). (ps) (Translation: gf)
