Text viewer: EvenMore v0.62
The text viewer EvenMore by Chris Perver is now available in version 0.62. Mainly the plugins for RTF, HTML and AmigaGuide have been updated.
For the RTF plugin have compatibility issues been fixed, for AmigaGuide the bug with the word wrap and the plugins for HTML and Eml now understand the ANSI command *CBAR.
In the main program the quickload.txt menu list has been extended with the key words SUB and ITEM. By more intense use of the screen font and the possibility to run the program without the need of the iconify gadget should the window now look better when using special GUIs (e.g. MorphOS).

In addition to this, there's a special edition of Amiga Forever together with Kickstart 1.3 and Workbench on the magazine CD.
The issue is priced 7.80 Euro and offers newcomers to Amiga emulators under Windows a quite cheap possibility to get a legal copy of the Kickstart ROM and a Workbench.

PearPC exists in an interpretative CPU emulation version that's about 500 times slower than the host computer, as well as in a JIT-Version that's 40 times slower.
As these screenshots on the emulator website show, Linux as well as MacOS X are running already on the emulator.

Cross-Compiler: gcc 3.3.1 for AmigaOS 3 creates AROS-Binaries
"whoosh" combined the sources of gcc-3.3.1-aros and gcc-3.3.3-amigaos to create a gcc version that runs under AmigaOS 3 and compiles binaries for AROS-x86. He also ported binutils-2.14.
The compiler requires a working GeekGadgets environment and the linker libraries and includes from www.aros.org/download.php. It is used like this:
i686-pc-aros-gcc-3.3.1 -march=i486 -s -O2 hello.c -o hello.o
i686-pc-aros-gcc-3.3.1 -s -march=i486 -o hello hello.o
The default target is i686, but you can create binaries for i386, i486, i586, i686, pentium or pentiumpro AROS x86 machines.
The c compiler part of the port was tried out on various graphics demos from the AROS website, all of them ran successfully. The c++ part of the port is completely untested and the author would appreciate feedback regarding this issue.

Some WSZ skin files have their images stored in a subdirectory rather than the top level. This is now supported. Newer versions of ID3v2 tags still can't be read but at least they don't prevent AmigaAMP from loading the classic ID3v1 tags any more.
If you've got questions please use the discussion board first. I will check it regularly." (cg)

Also, many thanks to Carsten Siegner: he has offered to host the project. But whoever wants to ask questions about this interface should write me and not bother Carsten! :)"

First reports and photos from the OS4 event in Essen/Germany (update 2)
In the forum of Amigaworld.net gives Amon_Re a first overview about the OS4 event that took place today in Essen.
According to his words were almost a dozen of AmigaOne computers shown with AmigaOS 4.0 coming in the ATX as well as in the mini ITX form.
Participants had been among others:
- Petro Tyschtschenko (said to be consultant for Gericom)
- Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden, Timothy De Groote, Steffen Häuser (Hyperion)
- Jens Schönfeld (Individual Computers)
- Rakesh and Sharwin Raghoebardayal (Coyote Flux)
- Alan Redhouse (Eyetech)
- Guido Does (Vesalia)
- Ron van Herk (Computer City)
- Sebastian Brylka (Amiga Insider)
- Alexander Lohrmann (68k emulation)
- "Chip" (Moovid)
- Volker Mohr
Alan Redhouse held a speech about his aims with the MicroA1 and why China were interested in devices with little power consumption. In addition there would be a Remote Windows Client for AmigaOS 4.0. After the speech questions could be asked but nothing of interest had been said.
Regarding the MicroA1 Alan Redhouse had said that its later sales version wouldn't be finished yet. In principal, it is planned as a shrinked form with expansion slot similar the one for the main processor to have a basis to build on depending on the specific needs.
Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden held no speech but answered questions regarding the availability of AmigaOS 4.0 with "when it's ready".
Software shown were ArtEffect 4, FreeSpace and AudioEvolution as well as some ports, especially emulators.
Update: (15.05.04, 21:10, cg)
At Amiga Insider, there's also a short report as well as photos from the event.

Elbox: Cocolino Mouse Interface available
Elbox Computer is pleased to announce release of the Cocolino Mouse Interface. Cocolino is a PS/2 mouse interface, with the
unique capability of supporting two scroll wheels and 3rd, 4th
and 5th buttons available in many PS/2 mice nowadays.
The Cocolino interface simply plugs into the Amiga's mouse port.
Features:
- The Cocolino PS/2 Mouse Interface is a microprocessor-based
adapter for attaching PS/2 mice, trackballs, glidepoints and
radio-controlled mice from the world of PC computers.
- Cocolino works with all models of Amiga computers. It simply
plugs into the Amiga's mouse port.
- The Cocolino PS/2 Mouse Interface is a full 'plug and play'
device. No software is required for standard use. The enclosed
software (cocolino.driver) allows using two wheels and 3rd,
4th and 5th buttons available in many PS/2 mice and trackballs.
- The Cocolino interface starts working simultaneous with the
computer's start so mice can be used in the early-startup-menu
(unlike the mice connected through the serial port).
- Cocolino uses linear movement interpolation, which makes mouse
movements perfectly smooth with any screen frame rates.
The complete press release by Elbox can be found under the title link. (snx)

Merregnon 2 - project finished!
After more than three years of development, the Merregnon 2 project is finished! The album is due to be released on 2004/05/24 in Germany.
You can pre-order your CD at shops like Amazon.de, Buch.de or Rollenspiele-shop right away, or purchase your CD at your local shop. If you live outside of Germany please refer to Music by Design Ltd. and synSoniq Records. It has been quite a journey for us, and I want to thank all of the people who are interested in our CD and have supported us with kind and helpful
feedback throughout its development. We are very proud of what we have achieved, combining live orchestra music, performed by members of the Prague Symphony and the New York Philharmonic; Nine composers from all over the world who provided us with their own fantastic music, 80 minutes of the finest pieces; and six artists who painted a beautiful 28 pages booklet, telling the story of Merregnon. The work has been intense for everybody. The production required a lot of skill and ambition. (sn)

Amiga Java: Status report from "JAmiga"
The JAmiga project has released a short status report:
"JAmiga status report May 2004
it's been a long time since our last status report and things have become very quiet around JAmiga. However, a lot of work was done in the background. We have meanwhile ported JAmiga so that it can be compiled with gcc which will open up chances to compile it for other platforms. While being a major task, for most users no difference between the StormC and gcc version will be visible.
We are planning to release a new version with the classpath 0.09 fairly soon, once all classpath-changes have been properly reflected within JAmiga. Eventually, you may be able to use a few AWT gadgets by then, but no promise about that :)
New JAmiga Forum
We now have our "own" Forum on www.jamiga.org which may be used for chitchat, discussions, requests, etc.
First donation arrived
Only a few days ago, we have received our first donation -100 EUR- wow. Thank you very much! We have therefore decided to put up bounties for certain tasks....
Bounty for ZIP File reader
This bounty is endowed with EUR 50. It will go to the person that writes a ZIP Reading "JavaStream" class. Please see our Forum or contact us if you're willing to help!
best regards,
Your JAmiga Team"

Although Computer City is not an exhibitor at the Essen OS4 event, we will attend as visitors. Therefore, any orders placed before Friday the 14th can be taken with us (when in stock of course) and picked up at the event. Let's call it the "Computer City Trunk-Sale" :-)
As a sidenote, the Image Installer V2 production has now (finally)
started and all ordered copies are shipping early next week. Of course,
the Image Installer V2 CD and DVD editions can also be ordered and
picked up at the OS4 event, where you will have the possibility for a
'meet and greet' with the Image Installer team themselves!

Intel announces Dual-Core-Processor for desktop-computers
Intel has announced a desktop processor with Dual-Core for 2005. The planned Pentium-4-Prescott
successor with codename Tejas will be not produced. The company has not given any statement
if this means the end for the Pentium-4-architecture; but it is more likely that Intel
turns to the Pentium-M-architecture that does not need so much current.

PC Magazine: John C. Dvorak mentioned AmigaOS 4.0
On issue from 4th May 2004 John C. Dvorak mentioned in US-American PC Magazine
on page 65 after MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported)
also AmigaOS 4.0 and called the competition between the two PPC operating systems as
possible lucky chance for the desktop computers.
He wrote: "Amiga Not Dead Yet Dept.: When I wrote about the MorphOS initiative, essentially a clean-room redesign of the Amiga OS for the PowerPC, I failed to mention that there is still a lively pure-amiga crowd that is developing a new OS for a PowerPC iteration of the original Amiga. OS4's implementation should modernize and perhaps revitalize the platform. A competition between these two camps could be the best thing to happen to desktop computing in decades."
