Version 2 of the Universal Filter for PageStream
The 'universal' filter allows loading of many additional graphic formats within the PageStream v3.x/v4.x DTP program. Furthermore the loading of already supported graphic formats was considerably accelerated in parts.

Version 2 of the filter is finally released for free on http://www.uni.coloraid.de. Similar to ICS the filter is now using the IRW library for image loading.

The innovations in version 2 are:
  • Now supports <8Bit and CMYK modes in PageStream
  • Faster
  • Almost no memory usage when no image is loaded
  • Loading of 16 bit (converted to 8 bit) and CMYK data is now possible
  • Improved PGM/PBM/PPM/JPEG/BMP/TIFF routines
  • Considerably improved error handling thanks to IRW
  • Locale support
  • Compiled for different cpus
  • MANY small improvements

The supported formats for now are:

BMP, DataTypes, DCX, IFF ILBM, JPEG, PCX, GIF, PGM/PBM/PPM, PNG, Targa, TIFF

Heise: Slashdot have to Delete Article about Scientology
On last Friday the news and discussion forum Slashdot announced a premiere the operators might rather not wanted to experience: for the first time the internet service - founded in 1997 they have become one of the most important speaking tubes for the open source scene - had to remove an already published article.

In a message regarding the incident Rob Malda, founder of Slashdot and on the net also known as CmdrTaco, stated that on Saturday last week an anonymous reader had contributed an article containing a text Scientology keeps copyright for. Scientology lay claim on being a church which the US revenue authorities admited.

Espial Escape - Slim Webbrowser for AmigaDE
"Escape is a HTML4.01 webbrowser which just happens to work on AmigaDE thanks to its Java support. Escape is not only small, but fast and loaded with features including HTML4.01, DHTML and more."

On amiga.org you can read about it:

I noticed that the easiest way to install Espials Escape on the AmigaSDK was to simply unzip the *.jar files to the root. Sadly there was no archive on Espials homepage that made it easy for me to get them. So I mailed them about the problem. Now they have added an archive of Escape with the Jar files on their homepage.

Further links on Espial Escape:
Espial Homepage
internet® product watch
devices.internet.com

Espial Escape is a slim webbrowser for smart devices which supports all modern web standards.

Payback Update
The first update for Payback is available. Several reported bugs were fixed and a screen scaling feature was added for slower processors. Also, new graphics were integrated.

There's also an update of the demo version, which raises the time limit of three to five minutes.

On the Payback website, an FAQ about Payback was opened which answers frequently asked questions. The game can be ordered directly in the online store.

In an interview with the Amiga-Future, programmer James Daniels describes Payback as follows: "The player assumes the role of a young, fleeing driver and attempts to become a big gangster boss. The game is entirely non-linear. To complete a level, the player has to collect a certain amount of points. How he achieves that is entirely up to him. You can follow the advice of the local Kingpin, uncover secret missions, or get into a fight."

New Screenshots of the Real-time RPG "Between the Lines"
Because of a harddisk crash, we have lost all source codes of our games "Crossfire II" and "Between the Lines". At least Crossfire II could partly be recovered, but it'll take several months to fully restore it.

As a compensation and the long time during which nothing happened on our homepage, there are a few new screenshots of the real time RPG BtL.

Amster


Amster News
Amster is a program for downloading of authorized MP3 music files from Napster. One also can let the program (client) search for music files made available by other participants or can chat with other participants.

Yesterday the Amster source code was put on SourceForge. Interested developers can participate in further development under 'CVS access' (explanation in addition).

Since it wasn't clear to me what CVS access means I asked about this on our internal mailing list. Ruediger Hanke took the task to give an extended explanation. Because I can imagine our readers to be interested in this, too, I post his answer here:

What is CVS access?

CVS = Concurrent Versions System, a program for source code management. Among other things the program saves old versions of the source code, so one can trace changes from one version to another. Furthermore it coordinates changes in source codes if several developers are working on one single program. Else there would happen situations like follows:
  • developer A loads source ab.c
  • developer B loads source ab.c
  • developer A saves source code ab.c including changes done by him
  • developer B saves source code ab.c including changes done by him and by doing so overwrites the changes of developer A.

CVS cares for changes not to be accidently overwritten by somebody and in the case of need announces conflicts caused by changes. Thus it is essential if several developers are working on one single program.

Amster seems to be under CVS control. "CVS access" in this case means that people wanting to participate in programming Amster can get access to the CVS server managing the program's source codes.

Plextor Stops SCSI
Plextor Europe will stop production and distribution of SCSI CDRom drives this very year. As reason for this the company named regressive sales figures as well as problems in providing components. In the long term this would also affect the American and Japanese market. One would want to address the DVD market segement with devices with USB and Firewire interfaces in the future.

On February 28th, 2001 an announcement was made to a group of employees, and other well known technical people within the Puget Sound region.

Moments later a 6.8 magnitude earthquake shook the northwest. What was said? What was the possible reason for the sudden shift in the earth? Come to St. Louis and learn the answers.

Amiga Arena News
Preface
Since I cannot affect as much as I would like to on my own I decided to take a chance for a partnership with the Fun Time World! The Amiga Arena homepage will remain what it is, now, and I hope to be able to act even more effective in this partnership than before !
Olaf Koebnik - Amiga Arena

Amiga Arena - Fun Time World Partnership
The shareware market suffered from evaluations of the past years. The amount of new releases decreased very much every year. To stop this evaluation the pages Fun Time World and Amiga Arena agree to a partnership to patronize the shareware market. This partnership's objective is to call user's attention to developments at the shareware market.

This is to serve the purpose of higher sales and to motivate developers to continue to develop new and better programs, at the same time. In the future by a closer cooperation with the developers user's wishes shall be taken into account more than this has been done before. In further steps registration of programs from foreign countries shall be facilitated.

It will be determined from surveys which kind of software is in demand most. Special wishes from now on can be sent to the Fun Time World and to the Amiga Arena. Programmers who would agree to offer their programs at a more cost-effective price for a certain period of time, can contact the Amiga Arena at any time.

Amiga Arena
The Amiga Arena is a shareware / freeware support site with special prices for shareware software, links, interviews, and full versions of shareware software which will not be further developed.

Fun Time World
The Fun Time World page provides the Amiga users with topical news, test of software and hardware, as well as important information since several years. Meantime the service has been extended by adding an online shop as well as auction and forum sections.

New Products for ImageFX by LegacyMaker Inc.
Legacy Maker, Inc. released a tutorial-video named Catalyzer Vol. 3 for ImageFX version 4.0. The video deals with layers, scaning, printing, animation and FXForge.

Version 2 of the Motion Control Plugin PanCanvas, for ImageFX were released.

"PanCanvas 2 lets you take a large image in ImageFX and move a virtual camera over it. You end up with an astonishingly smooth documentary-style animation.
You can output frames, anims, FlyerClips, and even Jstreams for the Broadcaster Elite. The virtual camera can zoom in and out, accelerate and decelerate, and move along a spline curve. You can add motion blur, render fields for video, and run macros on each frame before saving in a variety of formats."

Legacy Maker, Inc. will exhibit at the Gateway Computer Show in St. Louis.

New Version of HTMLread
A new version of HTMLread (v1.1) can be downloaded from the support page.

HTMLread is an extension for YAM. YAM is a wonderful mailer, but not capable of displaying e-mails written in HTML code as like as sent by Netscape, Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails to a HTML viewer.

Some changes were made in the new version:
  • HTML parser rewritten (faster, more compatible, , full «base» tag support),
  • Problems with blank characters in the name fixed.
  • New GIF for condition.
  • Better error handling.
  • HTMLreadPrefs rewritten (now with MUI GUI)

AMIGA Inc.: New PDA Projects
As already reported on amiga-news.de, Amiga Inc. is organizing a project for programming software for PDAs. People who want to take part in this project as programmers may announce himself/herself via this page.

Amiga already has contact with companies who like to use the AmigaDE software on their appliances. In this context Gary Peake, director for development and support at Amiga Inc., wrote the following on AMIOPEN mailing list:

We have spent considerable time talking with a company who likes what they see of the Amiga content thus far. They will not be announced until St Louis, but we all know that development needs lead time.

This company has some PDA models coming out real soon now and we have sold them on letting Amiga developers produce their content.

This content will be sold via a web portal and all certification and runnability testing will happen here at Amiga Inc for logistic reasons.

Specs are as follows for two separate units:

Screen Size: 240x320, 65k color3.5" reflective-TFT

Screen Size: 176x220, 65kcolor, 3" reflective-TFT

Both units will be able to handle up to 500k games and applications. Due to CPU speed limitations, code must be tight and efficient as always. This customer prefers VP coding, but won't pass on C, C++, or Java apps.

Examples of content needed:

Hoyle type card games
Chess
Checkers
Armageddon
PokeYman derivatives
No X rated content!


I am sure they would welcome any freeware content, but they are mainly looking for commercial quality content. Details on how the system will work will be released shortly to those who respond to this email.
If you are seriously interested in producing PDA content please send me an email to gary@amiga.com.
You MUST be under NDA AND be a registered Amiga developer before I can release any further information to you so make sure you have a valid NDA on file.

If you have not yet registered and you have a copy of our SDK, please go to www.amigadev.net and register as a developer.

If you do not have a valid NDA with us, simply look at www.amigadev.net under the "legal" menu, grab a copy of the NDA and get it mailed back or faxed back ASAP. Address and fax number is on the NDA.

Only serious need respond as we will be on a tight schedule to meet the first delivery date.

This may be cross posted to Amiga news web sites and other lists.

New Development System for PDA Games for the AmigaDE
Ast, by the makers of KDP, is a new PDA game for AmigaDE. The game uses the gm-Engine to give developers easy access to the basic functions necessary for games developement for PDAs.

The release of Ast and gm is still long in coming. But for the meantime there's a picture of an Ast beta version. This imgae was taken before the final graphics set was added.

Wordworth Developments
Unfortunately development of Wordworth for the AMIGA has ceased several time ago. The last version 7 indeed contains many features, but also lacks of things like for example a JPEG filter. So you have to convert the wanted JPEG graphic for now into IFF or another format Wordworth supports using a separate program. Another thing completely missing is PPC (WOS) support.

I'd like to call programmers among other things working with Wordworth to program the missing things (I'm mainly about the JPEG filter). Provided that I'd have the needed development tools, compilers etc., and a supporting (teaching!) programmer, I'd do it myself.

AKIconzGold Update
5 days after the latest update there's again one due.: On my homepage can be found the third (and probably the last) "homepage only" preview of the AKIconzGold. There are almost 40 new icons. Additionally the ReadMe was extended by an important part regarding the installation in which the setting of the correct color palette is described that is necessary to display the icons as wanted.

The setting of this color palette gives some more advantages: All icons, no matter whether MagicWB (8 colors), RomIcons (16 colors, often to be found with the installers of WHDLoad and jst) or just the AKIconzGold (and also the similar BNSMWBicons) have always the right colors with this setting. And NewIcons, too, manage with this palette, and even GlowIcons do look relatively appealing on a 32 colors screen!
People who don't want to restrict themselves to one "kind" of icons but want to have the correct color settings for almost all icons should set this palette!

Besides, all sites of the homepage were recreated. Although less the design but especially the colors were chosen completely new. This looks, in my opinion, much better (and is much better matching the homepage title ;-)).

NetBSD/Amiga IOblix - Driver Change
The NetBSD/Amiga - IOBlix-Zbus driver was changed in a way that the quartz frequency is changeable via the kernel variable _iobzclock (with binpatch and reboot) or via the kernel option IOBZCLOCK.

Newer IOBlix cards use a 22.1184MHz quartz that allows more standard baud rates, older ones on the other hand use a 24MHz quartz. Owners of a 24MHz quartz need to set _iobzclock or IOBZCLOCK to 24000000.

Besides this, iobl* at zbus? is now included in the GENERIC configuration.

NetBSD-current testers are asked for review reports, also about the parallel interface. Details about the availability of source code etc. can be found at:

PC MP3-Player 'Sonique' Planned for AmigaDE
Sonique is an audio player often used on PCs. According to the current Sonique newsletter it is planned to port version 2 - which is under development at the time being - to as much platforms as possible. The interesting thing in this is the AmigaDE being mentioned, too. Further details can be taken form the Sonique 2 FAQ.

This is from the Sonique newsletter, (sonique as you may
know is a rather good MP3-player on the PC)

SONIQUE NEWSLETTER - VOL 2. ISSUE 4. - MARCH, 2001

INTRODUCTION

As promised, this issue is a special update on the
current state of Sonique 2.  Things are progressing
very well and we're wetting ourselves several times
a day from sheer excitement. We have to keep the
entire office covered in plastic.  We've got webvan
delivering rubber pants and huggies directly to our
workstations. Yup, Sonique 2 is really that cool.

(stuff about sonique 2 deleted)

SONIQUE 2 PRIMER

You are probably wondering just what this Sonique 2
thing is really all about.  How is it different than
Sonique 1?  Why should you even care?  Well, first
off, let's talk about the number 2.  The "2" in
Sonique 2 is really less about Sonique VERSION 2.0
and more about Sonique 2, THE SEQUEL.  Sonique 2 is
not just another upgrade of the same old tired software.
No No NO! Sonique 2 is completely different.  Sonique 2
has been in development for over 2 years and shares almost
no code with Sonique 1.  It is based on entirely new
ultra-swoobtastic(tm) technology.  Audio system,
GUI engine, Skinning system, plugin architecture,
visual system, all sparkling new!  Even has that great
"new software" smell.

SONIQUE 2 & MANTIS

Sonique 2 is based on some very nifty technology that
Andrew, Nicholas, and the rest of the Sonique coders
have been developing for the last year called MANTIS.
MANTIS serves two important functions: First, it separates
GUI design from application development, allowing designers
and programmers to work separately on the same app, freeing
designers from the need to program and programmers from the
the need to do GUI design (they hate that).  Second, it
provides an extremely powerful environment for creating and
operating real-time GUI interfaces.  Animation, effects,
layering, font rendering, menu systems, and just about
everything else are handled by MANTIS, giving the GUI
designer supreme control over the look and feel of their
app.  Want to make a fully animated semi-transparent free
floating dockable custom menu with flames shooting out of it?
Want it in 200 languages? MANTIS can do that for you...

OTHER TECHNOLOGY

MANTIS is not the only booty-slappin' body rockin' trick up
our sleeve.  There's also the new audio system.  It features
24 bit audio (just like professional studio gear), support
for DSP effects chains, can easily handle just about any file
format, and is faster than fast.

The plugin system is flexible and powerful.  There are
really no limitations to what you can do.  Plugins can take
advantage of MANTIS and integrate seamlessly. We expect a lot
of really interesting plugins to be developed for Sonique 2.

This is going to be amazing...

(stuff about skins removed)

PLATFORM SUPPORT

Sonique 2 is very portable.  We designed it to be from the
beginning.

Expect Sonique 2 for Windows 9x, ME, NT4, 2K, XP as well as
Mac OSX,

Linux, BeOS, and AmigaDE

LEGACY SUPPORT

Yes, Sonique 1.x Skins and Visuals will work with Sonique 2..

QUESTIONS

If you have questions about Sonique 2, ask them in the forum
(0000,8000,0000 http://forum.sonique.com).
We will go through the threads in the forum every so often
and move common questions onto the FAQ.

The answers that you seek are often available from other users
or Team Sonique members themselves.  We prefer communicating
in the forum to receiving tons of email.  We get enough email
as it is.

CONCLUSION

Sonique 2 is something everyone at Team Sonique cares about
deeply.  We're sure that you are going to love it.  We
certainly do...

BIZ DEV

If you have business related questions about Mantis or Sonique2,
please contact our business development staff at 0000,8000,0000
info@sonique.com or call 415-276-3940.

I hope this is of intrest to you,

Bye M Stormink.

X-CELLENCE goes AmigaDE
We will not develop our games (SCR2K, FirePower and New York Nights) for the Classic-Amiga. For us this was not easy to decide, but the limited possibilities of the PPC/3D system the AMIGA can offer for the time being don't meet our requirements.

Since we all are AMIGA users from the very beginning, we didn't want to put down our ambitions regarding the AMIGA, thus we came to the conclusion to develop for the AmigaOne. We hope for your understanding.
Your X-CELLENCE Team

New Survey - Joystick Adapter
Is there anybody interested in an adapter to connect an Amiga joystick, e.g. for use with UAE, or does anybody know a manufacturer already producing such? An old Amiga freak has developed such adapter and would start a small batch production if enough people will contact. If you are interested, please participate in the survey (click on title link, then on "Umfragen").

Microsoft Gives Windows 2000 Source Codes to US Major Customers.
»Microsoft has started to ship the Windows 2000 source code to up to 1,000 of their major customers as like to the PC manufacturer Dell. The company announced this on Tuesday. Microsoft's major customers for the first time would be able to see how Windows 2000 looks like "below the bonnet". But it is not allowed to change the source code. «

Jikes V1.13
Kriton Kyrimis has released version 1.13 of the open source Java-compiler 'Jikes' for AmigaOS and AmigaDE (AmigaSDK). The compiler distinguishes by high speed and is therefore a good choice for extensive projects.

The compiler has been developed by Philippe Charles and David Shields for alphaWorks-program from IBM. The current homepage of the compiler is situated on IBM - developerWorks.

You can download the different versions for Amiga under the title link. Besides the compiler you need the Java-run-time-classes e.g. from Sun or the open source Java-implementation Kaffe. You can find a Kaffe-version for AmigaOS which also supports under the Geek Gadgets X11-port graphics under Amiga Jikes FAQ from Kriton Kyrimis.

The version of Amiga works without ixemul-library.

www.amigaworld.com is Not Down...
Yesterday I was pointed out that AmigaWorld obviously cannot be accessed. But www.amigaworld.com still works only the `international` DNS-entry is missing - according to DENIC "Record last updated on 26-Feb-2001" -.

You can access the site under http://151.189.12.217. If you want to read the programs support sites you have to do it in the following way, e.g for MUIbase: http://151.189.12.217/support/muibase/ (Do not forget the slash at the end!). Ralph Reuchl

New version of SiteWay-modules: WebColor 1.2
WebColor is a helpful tool for creating and editing HTML-colours. You can choose the colour in 24 Bit mode or it can be reduced to the so called "web-palette". The Workbench palette colours can be used and the VGA- and Netscape-colour names are also supported. WebColor is part of the SiteWay project.


WebColor can now adopt each colour from each window or screen using a pipette (...which turned out to be very useful!).

Interview with Thomas Knäbel, pblan GmbH
Martina Jacobs from amiga-news.de asked the CEO of the bplan GmbH some interesting questions:

Amiga-News: The Pegasos specification basically corresponds to the Zico specification from Amiga, Inc. In your announcement you talked about the hardware, after it was technically enabled, to be utilized for system software verification. Are there plans to also make the Pegasos prototype available to Amiga, Inc. for Amiga product verification?

Thomas Knäbel: In the first step we conceive the BIOs and boot software of the Pegasos hardware for system software . When these are working faultless (i.e. it will then already be possible to start Linux) the hardware will be available for software developers (so for Amiga, too).

Amiga-News: In the comments on your announcement on amiga-news.de Michael Garlich from Titan-Computer was talking about AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 will run on the Pegasos hardware, until the software would address the AGA chip-set. Is this true and if so, how broad is this downwards compatibility? Will it be possible to run style guide conformable applications and current available games on the Pegasos hardware under AmigaOS 3.1 to 3.9?

Thomas Knäbel: The current software stage allows to execute the following kinds of applications:
  • All of the AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 programs which do NOT directly address the Amiga chip-set. That is to say programs accessing the system via the AmigaOS' API are executable.
  • PowerUp programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
  • WarpUP programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
Amiga-News: Furthermore Mr. Garlich was talking about a PCI-AGA card was in consideration. Of course this makes Amiga users' hearts beat faster. Are you reflecting such thing regarding Pegasos?

Thomas Knäbel: We are taking this into account.

Amiga-News: The Classic-Amiga not only has the AGA chip-set for custom chip. Standard for sound output is the internal sound chip (Paula). Will the Classic-Amiga's sound chip be emulated by the Pegasos system and/or are there other solutions for sound output under AmigaOS via the Pegasos' integrated sound sub-system (e.g. similar to AHI on the Amiga)?

Thomas Knäbel: The Amiga's original audio output is made possible by a respective emulation. Programs utilizing AHI are supported directly.

Amiga-News: Is there something you would like to say to the Amiga users?

Thomas Knäbel: On this occasion we would like to thank all of the Amiga users and software developers who had to manage things without new hardware for a long period of time. We are sure to be able to offer to all of these Amiga enthusiasts a hardware which meets the requirements of a modern computer system.

Amiga-News: Thanks a lot for this interview and much success for the future.

New project: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation
TAWS is a JavaScript project with the aim to convert the look & feel of our beloved Workbench to a browser.
Many Amiga-related sites use the l&f of the Workbench for navigation, so I had the idea to perfect it.
Feedback is wanted; I am interested in others point of view and if I should go on with the project or not.

Geek Gadgets-Server with new IP
This is an important update concerning the GeekGadgets' servers. Over the next few days the GeekGadgets project will be moving to a new IP address [64.232.230.106]. A temporary disruption in service may occur due to propagation delays in the various Domain Name Servers, but nothing to be alarmed about. If you do experience problems, you can use the IP (64.232.230.106) temporarily until the DNS hosts get caught up.

Programmers for Internet Software Project Wanted
Achim Stegemann wrote:
Programmers wanting to participate in a software project for the Amiga are wanted.

The project's focus is to program a shared library to make developing of Internet programs easier for less experienced programmers.

Many of us know the problem: One would like to load a file from the Internet via FTP or HTTP protocol with his own program, but doesn't know the respective procedure or addressing bsdsocket.library is too complicated cause you don't know the commands needed. In such cases diverse source codes from Aminet or Linux sources offer only limited help.

The library (maybe by the name of ftp.library ?) would do all this work for the programmer. For example it should be easy to access files on FTP servers by "FTP_Directory", "FTP_Open", "FTP_Read", "FTP_Write", and "FTP_Close" (function names are possible examples). Similar should be possible for HTTP or other protocols (e.g. e-mail communication).

The library is meant to become freeware to make it available for any program developer. Anybody conversant with the use of BSD socket commands and Internet protocols wanting to participate in this project is called to contact me via e-mail

asyncio.library for WarpOS Update
There now is an update for the asyncio.library for WarpOS in version v40.4. The update fixes a exception handler hit under WarpOS v5 as far as the handler was activated (thanks to Oliver Roberts).

The update can be downloaded from the download section on the homepage. It was also uploaded to Aminet and should be available there, soon.

Furthermore developers utilizing the PPC functions of asyncio.library (WOS) might contact Achim Stegemann for exchange of experience.

BoingWorld


Simon 2001 V2.1
Simon is a small classic computer game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and sounds. This is a small update and re-compilation of an old routine written by BoingWorld editor: Richard 'DawnBringer' Fhager.

Simon2001: Is a remake of an old classic game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and sounds. Download it here.

I played a version of this game on the C64 --- and while I could never repeat more than 15-20 steps I had a friend that managed almost 70!!! (I have 100 steps in this game) --- If you can top this or even get close to my friends "record": Please, mail me, and let me know!

This was originally an old game I wrote back in '91. I added a nicer interface in '97. This version (v2.1, Feb 2001) is slightly polished and recompiled.

Download: simon2001.lha (64K)

AROS News
AROS, the open source project to implement a portable AmigaOS is progressing.

Most remarkable innovation is the finished locale preferences program by Georg Steger. There is also a screenshot of this preferences. Additionally there is a demo showing the use of the cool_buttonclass for Georg Steger's coolimages-Library.

The fractal program 'XaoS' (contrib section) needs topaz/8 font, hence it doesn't work correctly any more since AROS now utilizes a proportional font.

Johan Alfredsson has corrected an error in C:SetKeyboard and in the RAM handler. IPrefs now can use notification in ENV:Sys/ to update the settings.

Thanks to Stefan Berger is now is possible to abort packets sent to the filesystem.

Press Release: "Free Amiga Jobs" Conversion
Cologne/Erkrath, Germany, 02-Mär-2001 - In April 2000, Free Amiga Jobs, the online job market especially for the Amiga market, was founded by amiga-news.de and AMIGAplus. During its existence, more than 50 employees were placed with firms and thus many new Amiga projects brought forward.

On March 1st, 2001, Free Amiga Jobs was restructured and equipped with a powerful database. Employers can now submit their job offers online, while employees can search for a job by several criteria. Of course it can still be used for free by both employers and employees.

'Free Amiga Jobs' can be reached on the internet directly at the URL amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/jobs-db.pl or from the website amiga-news.de/ or http://www.amigaos.de/.

New Syntax Parser for GoldED Studio 6
A new syntax parser for GoldED Studio 6 is available for download at the title link.

The syntax parser is based on Dietmar Eilert's source code. Some bugs were fixed and new functions were added:
  • recognition of script tags: PHP, ASP, JSP and Java-Script
  • within those, the program code is displayed similar to C/C++ (special characters, strings, brackets and program blocks are highlighted).
Hints on the installation and an example are in the archive which can be downloaded at the title link.

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - AmigaKonto full version
By authority of Adreas Regul the program AmigaKonto is ready for free download. AmigaKonto was developed for management of accounts. Especially for bank giro accounts with many movements one quickly forfeits summary in verifying recurrent money transfers. Therefore AmigaKonto first of all serves as a special kind of database for managing the different transfer orders. By various selection and statistic functions then it is possible to address single positions well directed.

Full benefit is to achieve in collecting account data over several years to have comparison values at hand enabling you to get a quick summary by use of the selection functions.

Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation, so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.

Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.

Supplement 02 March 2001 On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!

New Strategy Game Planned
Alien Imperium is supposed to become a network and Internet game which is supposed to support several operating systems, because it will be programmed in Java. It will be made in co-operation of Amig@lien with AccM Software Allianz.

In this space strategy game you have to be superior in technology and tactics to other races. For instance you can invent a lot, but you can also enter alliances as well as other contracts.

Everybody who liked Imperium Terranum will be fine with this game. This game will be delivered on CD-ROM and will certainly be released for the AmigaOne, but also a classic-Amiga version is planned. We hope you are already excited.

Here is a hint for all who cannot wait for it: We hope to be able to show a graphic and sound presentation to the computer revolution 2001. (Ricco Clemens)

Those ones who want to support the project "Alien Imperium" should mail to AccM or Amig@lien. We are grateful for each help! Manfred Rauer (POI)

New Developer in NetBSD Team
Jukka A Andberg has been included in the NetBSD-team. He has written a first (still incomplete) version of a wscons[1]-driver for NetBSD/Amiga and will now complete it.

Wscons is the console driver interface which does not depend on the machine and which is already in use on many NetBSD-architectures. It enables virtual switching consoles and makes the simultaneous use of text consoles and X11-screen(s) possible which is a characteristic not included in the ite- (Internal Tty-Emulator) system which is used in NetBSD/Amiga, so far.

Confusion about Proceedings Against Met@box
»Currently a report of the stock exchange information service Prior produces some confusion. Referring to this the public prosecution Frankfurt investigates the set-top-box producer Met@box from Hildesheim because of the suspicion of manipulation of the stock exchange. Already at the beginning of the year the business offices of the company has been investigated. At inquiry the public prosecution Frankfurt referred to their colleague in Hildesheim; the supreme public prosecutor Seemann confirmed that a proceedings was carrying out but refused to give further information. Instead of that he referred to the public prosecution Hannover which did not make a comment as well as Prior himself: "The chief is in vacancy", was the answer at inquiry from Heise online.«

New PlayGUI Version and Special Version
From my homepage (Amiga/Projects/PlayGUI) a new version of PlayGUI can be downloaded from today. (Unfortunately still not from the PlayGUI page due to a server problem.)

Changes:
  • Bugfix: slider gadgets are displayed at the right position, now.
  • Bugfix: sample-buffer showed 0 if it were set to maximum.
  • Bugfix: GMPlay filter didn't work - this function has been removed
  • The menus have been switched to upper- /lower case for easier reading
  • Font problem fixed
  • No more 3D frames for the skin

Moreover there is a 7MB special version of PlayGUI on my homepage containing the latest version and additionally all of the skins and themes available at this time. 90% of these are not to find at Aminet.

Album '2000 B.C' by Bobby Clark
For those of you who were into the module scene a few years ago, you might remember B.C. (aka Bobby Clark, the guy who filled up Aminet mods/med with heaps of music) ... B.C. now has recorded a debut album, which is purchasable at http://www.mp3.com/2000bc The debut album is titled 2000 B.C. It features mainly electronic and new age based tracks, as well as a couple of re-makes of aminet Octamed classics. The album may be purchased online from http://www.mp3.com/2000bc, and there are sample mp3 tracks on the site which may be streamed or downloaded.

The album was made with the help of an Atari 1040ST running Steinberg 12, and an Amiga 1000 (YES! A 1000!!!) running good old Octamed 4.0!
