Event: Amigahellas at DTE 2007
Dimitris Panokostas writes: Amigahellas, the Greek Amiga community, was present at the greatest Greek technological exhibition D.T.E. 2007 (Digital Technology Expo), in charge of the "computer history" stand.

With the valuable help from the organizing company, we managed to give the opportunity to both young and older visitors to meet and use computers from the past. Visitors had the chance to (re)live the experience of using computers like the Philips Videopac, Commodore PET 8032SK, Commodore Plus-4, C64-C, C128-D, Amstrad CPC 464, Amiga 500, 600 and 1200, Jupiter Ace, Acorn Electron, Timex Sinclair, Philips MSX among others.

It wasn't only about the past though: there also was an µA1 running the latest version of AmigaOS 4, as well as the latest version of AROS Live-CD and AmiKit 1.4 running on PC laptops.

The website dte.amigahellas.gr was set-up to host the photos and video from the event, so that those who couldn't make it there can have a glimpse of what happened. And if you feel like it, we'd be happy to receive any comments, which you can send using the Contact form.

We would like to thank the organizing company again, who helped into making this possible, all the visitors who had fun with us and all the people who gave their best to make this event an unforgettable experience indeed.

Finally, we'd like to wish... many happy returns! (snx)

Further development of TLSFMem as memtlsf
The further development of TLSFMem will by done by Bernd Roesch. He get the permission from Chris Hodges to reassemble the executable. If Chris don't changes his opinion, Bernd will start with the workaround of TLSFMem at December. A Download link will by added until it is available. German writen statment from Bernd Roesch. Bernd Roesch schreibt: Ich habe von Chris Hodges die Erlaubnis bekommen, TLSFMem (amiga-news.de berichtete) zu reassemblieren und zu releasen, mit der Bedingung, einen anderen Namen zu wählen und in der Readme-Datei darauf zu verweisen, dass der Kode von Chris Hodges ist. Daher nenne ich es memtlsf.

Den Quellkode möchte er nicht hergeben, aber reassemblieren ist auch kein Problem, AmiBlitz war ja auch ASM-Source, der zudem ca. einhundertmal größer ist, und wurde reassembliert, da die Sourcen unvollständig waren.

Da TLSFMem Probleme macht und Chris mir mitgeteilt hat, dass er keine Bugfixes mehr vornimmt, werde ich noch bis Dezember warten und dann versuchen, sofern sich an seiner diesbezüglichen Haltung nichts ändert, die Fehler zu beheben oder Workarounds dazu zu finden.

Derzeit erzeugt das Beenden von AmigaAmp Enforcer-Hits und Abstürze, wenn WipeOut (68k-Memtracker) mitläuft. Auch das Starten von YAM 2.4 erzeugt endlos Enforcer-Hits. Dies passiert auch ohne AfA-Nutzung.

Wer weitere Probleme mit tlsfmem bemerkt, möchte dies bitte mitteilen.

Anmerkung der Redaktion: Download-Link wird ergänzt, sobald vom Autor mitgeteilt. (snx) (Translation: aj)

AmigaOS 4: Warning against dubious eBay offers
Currently, a supposedly retail version of AmigaOS 4 for classic Amigas is being offered under the designation AMIGA OS4 for Amiga with Blizzard or Cyberstorm PPC on eBay. In the offer, provided with copious text and pictures, the remark that basically, the auction only constitutes a preorder, can be overlooked very easily.

Behind the supplier "ALIEN^TEK" stands a certain Robert O'Neil, who also appears under the aliases "Paradox" and "Amber, Inc," among others. In the past, O'Neil had already been repeatedly charged with fraud, for example, he had temporarily appeared as an AmigaOne dealer without possessing corresponding hardware.

As far as we know, Hyperion is informed of the situation. As a precaution, prospective buyers should refrain from a purchase at this supplier until a clarification of the issue. (cg) (Translation: cad)

MIDI-Sequencer: Horny 1.3
Press release: Horny is a midi sequencer in the style of e.g. "Logic®" or "Cubase®". Its focus is on easy and uncomplicated usage. Up to now Horny is a pure midi program and does not support audio.

From now on the program does only cost 29 Euro. A keyfile for the software sampler Phonolith (OS4) is still always inclusive!

New in version 1.3:
  • optionally starts Phonolith and opens there the corresponding project (only OS4)
  • AmiUpdate support (only OS4)
  • application.library support (only OS4)
  • with ALT mouse wheel axis can be changed (only OS4)
  • Maus wheel now works in editor window (OS3/newmouse)
  • Latency compensation for each MIDI-port

Comment to the future of Horny:

The begin of the development of Horny was started to a time when I had not the knowledge of good programming. Therefore it is not possible to implement new features and even to fix bugs it is rather complicated.

This update 1.3 probably will be the last one with new features. At most you can expect minor bug fixes. Before I started programming Phonolith I started writing a new implementation of Horny for OS4. Probably I will continue developing it after Phonolith 1.0. But this will take a while.

Features in version 1.3:

Midi:
  • Up to 16 midi ports usable with CAMD (Lite: 1 port)
  • Up to 128 tracks (Lite: 16 tracks)

Back to the Roots: Fred Fish memorial archive
Press release: Hello and welcome to the first small update of the Back to the Roots archive since our main archive down time. Now after successfully moving the project to a new server we have enough resources again to continue growing our service. To increase our update frequency (in preference to the rare monster updates we did before) we decided to offer smaller topic wise updates from now on, and group them to the huge updates you are used to from the past.

We want to send a big thank you to more than 200 people who donated to our server hardware money collection. We will in turn try to give each free byte some honourful content. Big thanks also goes to the patience of all contributors, not to pull their money back during our rest!

First of all we started a new subproject, dedicated to one of the most famous Amiga activists ever:

The Fred Fish memorial archive is our tribute to Fred where we try to document his entire life work project wise, offering his work (licensed by himself) and his cooperative projects (so far co-licensed by Danny Amor, Leslie Dietz, Eric Schwartz, Mark Stanley) for free download. The first 8 CDs are already online since a while, many further ones will follow.

As a second part of our tribute we host the homepage of Fred and his wife Michelle (and their dogs), documenting the last adventureful years of Fred's life cruising the ocean in a boat called "DiveAdx", going swimming, diving and deep sea fishing. Just pure Fish.

More to come soon.... (cg)

AmigaOS 4: CD-/DVD-burning software AmiDVD 1.38
AmiDVD written by Jörg Strohmayer is a very simple CD-/DVD-burning software which first creates an image file in ISO9660-format and then writes it on a CD or DVD.

In version 1.38 a workaround for Pioneer drives was implemented which thereby now are nearly as fast as drives of different producers.

AmigaOS 4: Text typeset system LaTeX 3.0 (alpha)
"Jack" has published a first alpha version of a port of the text typeset system LaTeX. A viewer for DVI-files is still not implemented. SDK (Software Development Kit) and a current version of abc-shell are required.

The author asks for feedback of users with LaTeX experiences but he points out that the installation guide still was not completed.

Hint: In the distribution archive there is a damaged version of the file "etex". It is absolutely necessary to download the working version of etex and to copy it over the original version.

Direct download:

Distribution: tetex-3.0_build_alpha1.tar.gz (160 MB)
etex-Fix: tetex-3.0_build_alpha1_etex_only.tar.gz (367 KB) (cg) (Translation: dr)
