AMHuhn: Programmers are overwhelmed :-)
Telemar Rosenberger, one of the developers of AMHuhn is totally overwhelmed by the positive response and submitted the following statement for release:

Hello AMIGA and AMHuhn friends,
we would like to thank you very much! We didn'd expected such a huge approval and friendly help. Since the AMHuhn is at the net the incoming emails don't stop, there are so many mails from all over the world to respond, it's getting hard to do something else, there are positive criticisms, brief notes of thanks, suggestions for optimization or problems. Nothing negative yet :-)

Getting so much approval there is nothing left for us than continueing. I know there are problems with Picasso96 but I have to note that I can try cybergraphics only by myself. There are problems as well if the iff.library and the picture.library are both not inside libs:.

Regarding the datatypes it is important to have the jpg and anim datatype installed, no matter if these are WOS, PPC or 68k. With AHI sound the following is important:
At the AHIprefs you should choose 3 to 4 channels for the music unit at the mode. With a 68040 is AHI 4.18 the best, it seems to be the fastest.

Have fun and I hope that most people have no problems with running the Huhn.

With the best regards
Telemar Rosenberger (ps) (Translation: ub)

Game: New AMHuhn executable with screenmode requester
As reported yesterday, Telemar Rosenberger and Franz 'Cj-Stroker' Schlick have developed a "Moorhuhn" clone with the name "AMHuhn". From comments there was obvious that some users still have problems with the game, e. g. those who use P96. Telemar fastly has put a new executable to the site which offers a screenmode requester at the launch of the game.

To test if problems are solved with this, he asked us to offer this new executable for download. This is not the whole archive but only the main program 'AMHuhn'.

A brand new website http://www.pegasos-suisse.com/ is completely dedicated to this new and extraordinary machine. You will soon discover all the hardware & software distribution activity for Pegasos and MorphOS, as well as information and news.

Concerning our country, different demonstrations will be organized in early November. These will be announced, on the Pegasos dedicated website, and on http://www.relec.ch/relec/ as well as on the different Amiga & Pegasos news websites! It is already possible to get information on the different proposed configurations if you write to info@pegasos-suisse.com (dealers write to dealers@pegasos-suisse.com). For the moment, the orders concern the "Betatester II" & Morphos v1.0 and are only for the warned users (according to the Thendic official statement of the 4 of october).

Give a try to the alternative future!!! (ps)

TTEngine 4.3 released
Grzegorz "Krashan" Kraszewski writes:
I have released V4.3 of TTEngine. Main new feature is font scaling and mirroring. Below you can read full list of changes from previous V4.1:

  • I've placed an open counter in the LoadedFont structure. It removes problems with many RastPorts using one font.
  • TT_SetAttrs() function may be now called before TT_SetFont() and is able to create RastPort context.
  • TT_SetFont() returns now BOOL value instead of VOID, because it can fail in low memory condition.
  • New demo program MoreFonts shows using many fonts at once in one window.
  • Affine transformation support code added. (Particular examples of affine transformations are: scaling, shearing, rotation).
  • Font may now be scaled in both the axes independently with TT_ScaleX and TT_ScaleY tags. Scaling range is from 0.01 to 100 (negative too, results in mirroring of the text).
  • TT_TextExtent() returned random values in the TextExtent structure, if no font has been set for the RastPort using TT_SetFont(). Now the structure is zeroed in the case.
  • New demo program Scaling shows - as its name says - font scaling.
  • TT_OpenFont() performed illegal READ-MODIFY-WRITE operation at address $0000003A, if opening of the font file failed. Fixed.
  • Header file "ttengine.h" was modified to comply with AmigaOS headers standard.

thttpd 2.21b2 and Webalizer 2.01-10 for AmigaOS
Rüdiger Engel wrote:
A few days ago there was an Amiga port of the thttpd Webservers in the Aminet (Homepage: http://www.acme.com/software/thttpd/). The port contains PHP 4.2.3. but no support for MySQL. Therefore I took the sources of the uploader (thanks to LouiSe, homepage: http://louise.amiga.hu) and added the MySQL support in PHP. thttpd is a very fast and efficient Web server, which reaches distinguished speed values also on a relatively slow 68k-Amiga.

Furthermore I compiled the newest version (2.01-10) of the log-file analyzer Webalizer (homepage: www.webalizer.com) for Amiga OS. Both programs need the ixemul LIBRARY. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Tool: SRename Version 3.5.0 beta 5
Constantinos Nicolakakis published a new beta version of the tool 'SRename'. With this tool, which can be used with Amiga OS 3,0+, you can comfortably rename files. In version 3.5.0 beta 5 the following program sections and bugs were fixed:

  • Rewritten many code parts.
  • Added "Reuse" capability using parentheses ( ) . This makes it possible for several actions to act on the same unmodified filename.
  • Changed the way the "INSERT" action works when appending characters. For appending purposes the user should now use the new "APPEND" secondary argument.
  • Improved the way that the number positioning is handled when modifying the basename of a filename sequence.
Bugfixes:
  • Fixed bug with not appending characters at the end of a segment using INSERT.
  • Fixed "Destination path not found" bug when using ":" in conversion.
  • Fixed problem of reading only up to 120 characters of each CLI supplied path/filepattern.
  • Fixed one Enforcer hit.

Microcode Solutions: Power Macintosh(tm) Emulation News (Update)
Power Macintosh(tm) Emulation News!

»Microcode Solutions will be releasing an iMac(tm) based emulation in both hardware (G3, G4, and dual G4 PCI boards) and software versions in the near future. Stay tuned for details!«

Update 15.10.2002:
Microcode Solutions has received what we believe will be the final hardware revision of the PCI based PowerPC card being manufactured by a well known PowerPC accelerator company.

The current board is a high speed G3 board. Other models are being prototyped right now, and these are G4 and dual processor configurations.

Microcode Solutions has always been the leader in Macintosh emulation technology, developing the first PowerPC emulation for a non-Macintosh platform. We will continue this tradition by releasing the first Power Macintosh emulation for the PC.

Besides having a PCI based hardware solution, Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a completely software based emulation to the public at an amazingly low price (under $50).

We know that people have waited an extremely long time for Microcode Solutions to release a new product, and we appreciate your patience. Just like our successful product "FUSION-PC", we feel we should wait to release the product until it is perfected. We are nearing that stage right now. (ps)
