`14.Jul.2002` Andreas Falkenhahn (E-Mail)	Tool: Rainboot4 in development Rainboot4 is currently in development. In prior versions Rainboot was only a program to show stunning demos during the Amiga's boot process. But with Version 4 it made its step to become a complete multimedia authoring system, which means that it has now a programming script language, which allows the programmer to create applications in a very easy way. The programmer can use many of Rainboot4's functions which save him a lot of time. For example, you do not have to care if your application runs on Picasso96, Cgfx, AGA or ECS. That's Rainboot4's thing now! It does everything for you and it does it system friendly. Here's a short overview what's currently possible: 100% system-friendly. Runs on all Amiga systems. Application can be displayed in window on Workbench or own screen. Transparent windows on Workbench (see screen shot). Transition effects. Functions to scroll graphics smoothly. Transparent Graphics. compiler and linker for creating executables. Easy monitoring of user input (keyboard, mouse). DOS functions. String functions. Math funktions. Variables and arrays. Applications run independent of the current screenmode. Compatible with older Rainboot versions. Different fonts can be used. Supports anim brushes. Supports sound modules and samples. Conditions (if, else, elseif, endif). Loops (for, next, while, wend). System functions. Can still be used during booting. MorphOS and AmigaOS4 versions planned. and much more. The interesting thing is, that Rainboot4 does all the work for you. For example, the following script opens a window with the file mypic.iff as the background and writes "Hello World" centered in this window: %BGPIC1=mypic.iff %CODE %Locate(CENTER,CENTER) %PrintStr("Hello World") %WaitLeftMouse %Quit This simplicity is used by all functions of Rainboot4. And it's fully system friendly. All operations are executed through the operating system or the RTG system respectively. It was never easier to code intuitive programs with such little effort but maximum effectivity and user friendlyness. Screen shots of Rainboot4 are available on the Airsoft Softwair home page: www.airsoftsoftwair.de. (sd) (Translation: cb) [News message: 14.

`13.Jul.2002` Rupert Hausberger (ANF)	Benchmark tool: AmigaMARK LPA 2002 First beta screenshots of a new Amiga Benchmark tool. With this program you can exactly analyse the performance of CPU, memory and drive. For the time being 16 CPU, 24 memory and 15 drive tests have been implemented. 2D and 3D Benchmarks will follow later in a separate tool. The first public beta will be released for 68k and MorphOS and needs the help of beta testers who may register at a given time... Minimum system configuration: AmigaOS: > 3.1 RAM: 6 MB FAST, 1 MB CHIP HDD: ~10 MB Author/contact: Rupert Hausberger (naTmeg) Austria EFNET/IRCNET: naTmeg / AmiComSys: naTmeg (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 13.

`13.Jul.2002` Alexander Fritsch, selco (ANF)	Sowjet speech encryption machine for telephone and radio Right before the summer break a software premiere: the simulation of the Sowjet speech encryption machine "Elbrus". This is a military encryption device for telephone and radio that had been used at the USSR army and the NVA of the GDR. The signal is analogue encoded using a digital code i.e. you get an encrypted audio signal that can be broadcasted directly (without modem) analogue via telephone or radio. With the program you can en-/decode own audio files (or an audio stream of the AHI device). The program should be unique in the Web and is for now exclusively available for the Amiga (68k and PPC). A detailed description and a sound example can be found following the title link. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 13.

Changes since the previous version may be found in the history. Direct download: http://dopus.amiga.pl/files/DOpus417pre13.lzx Please be aware that the catalog data has not been brought up to date, and may also be that you'll bump into text that hasn't been translated. But that that doesn't affect the fact that everything works. Whoever cares to do so may go over the German catalog and work with the built-in English strings. New catalog data is the next goal.
