Heise: Canon-Printer with "Date of Decay"
«Yesterday, in this way German ZDF-economic broadcast "WISO" reported about the case of an owner of a BubbleJet 600. This spring the four years old device started printing out the warning tank of remaining ink would be full soon after each printed piece of paper. After a little time the printer claimed remaining tank being full and finished work. The ingeneer looked after but neither tank nor absorbing felt has been soiled particularly. To be on the safe side he cleaned everything - but in vain. Printer didn`t start working again.

According to WISO Canon-hotline confirmed the printer has been provided with a counter for the drops of ink given off which stops the device as a precaution after 15000 pieces of paper printed out (depending on the kind of printing) - independent of the fact if the catching tank actually was full or not. The broadcast did find out BubbleJet 600 can be persuaded starting its work again by holding the keys "Power", "Form Feed" and "Print Mode" while putting in the main plug and switching on the printer.« For full Report have look at title link.

IRC Chat Server will be Switched Off
This is not a special amiga thing but I often see users using AmIRC at the IRC-NET. The oldest chatserver irc.uni-erlangen.de became a target of massive DDoS attacks from england yesterday (sunday). The IRC-operators were forced to cut the connection of the chatserver off because the homepage of the university of erlangen was not longer reachable. With that the premiere HUB-server for the whole EU was offline. If someone attacks irc.freenet.de now the whole EU will be cut off from the IRCNET.

irc.uni-erlangen.de will be online again by tomorow. Some of the attackers came from germany. Hopefully they will be soon uncovered and be called to account.

Amiga Future: Secret Revealed !
The future of the German Amiga games magazine "Amiga Future"
The end ?   NO !   A new begining !

Andreas Magerl explains the future on a special page (German). In fact the so far publisher the Falke-Verlag will discontinue production and selling of Amiga Future after issue #27 because of commercial considerations.

Preventing the last Amiga game magzin from being closed Andreas Magerl will continue to work with his editors. Selling will be based on subscriptions. Therefore you have to know that Andreas Magerl was responsible for the content and the Falke-Verlag for the layout and sales. Because he has not the marketing channels as a big publishing house has, the further existence depends on the number of subscriptions. A subscription form is available here. At the moment there are 6 issues availabel for 60 DM with costs of shipment inclusive (insdide of Germany).

InstallKit V3.8 and Locale for NewInstaller

The CD32 Games Install Kit now supports some additional games and is now significant more flexible in booting. Furthermore many loaders have been overworked.

Version 1.6 for NewInstaller will keep us waiting for some more time, thus there is a single release of the updated translations by ATO, at the first.

Additional ultra-speed can be achieved through SuperView-Library's
optional PPC modules - which are working completely transparently.

Pictris Released
APC&TCP today has released a new game. Pictris is available directly from APC&TCP from now, and after a few days from the Amiga specialized trade, of course. Pictris is kind of a puzzle game. The player's job is to mark the right boxes on the screen by mathematical hints, in order to uncover the picture as fast as possible. The faster this has been done, the higher the score gets. All in all there are 240 different puzzles with different skill levels availabel.

A demo version of the game is available on the home page, and of course also at Aminet. A few days ago a subsequent demo version of SeaSide was released, which was available since November 1999.

New Executive Update

August 8, 2000 - Greetings to the Global Amiga Family

It has been a hectic several weeks, and we are moving even faster this week.

There will be some new announcements in the next few days that should be of interest to everyone as we work hard to expand the members of the Amiga family.

I would like to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who attended the show in Sacramento California, and another special thank you to John and Jan Zacharius and the rest of the SACC team. They did a great job.

I am writing this letter as a quick answer to some questions that I have received in the last 48 hours.

As mentioned before, if you hear something that you need to confirm, ask. Every member of the Amiga team is more than willing to answer questions. It gets somewhat tiresome to constantly get rumors sent to us after they have been out there for several days or even weeks.

Here are answers to two rumors that need to be addressed immediately:
  1. Once you sell the remaining A1200's you are pulling out of Germany.

    Answer: No. We have no plans of pulling out of Germany. In fact we are looking at ways to increase our presence in all of Europe, Asia, South America, and even here in North America. There are several ideas on the table, and even some names have been attached to the ideas. There will more information available when we are ready to share the plans.

    We are certainly not going to disregard the business in these markets. We are a growing company and very excited about the future.
  2. You are going to begin selling new A4000's and there are already 1,000 of these new A4000's being built.

    Answer: Who came up with this one? There is no manufacturing of any Amiga except the new desktop, notebook, and handheld in the works.

I have asked before, and now I will ask again, please stop these rumors. If you hear one, contact any member of the Amiga Team directly, and we will answer you.

Thank you for your continued support.

Kindest regards,
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team (ps)

Software updates by Andreas Kleinert
In recent days, PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX has released the following updates:
  • akJFIF version 44.82
  • akPNG version 44.82
  • akTIFF version 44.82
  • SViewIV version 9.10
  • SV-PPC-Module version 24.8

Aside from the usual code maintenance, small and large speed improvements could be achieved everywhere, with differing results on low- and high-end systems (depending on CPU power and memory bandwidth). All programs can be downloaded from the website at the title link.

We do not supply benchmarks, because we think they are worthless unless everybody could verify them on his own (e.g. by using an open source benchmark program, freely available graphics files and a clear system description).

Catweasel ISA Available Again
Today, the first Catweasel ISA boards from the current production run have been shipped. Despite major supply problems we were able to keep delays within limits, the deadline was exceeded by less than a week. The stongly increased demand can now be fully satisfied. To keep the board producable in the year 2000, the "Y2K edition" recieved some cosmetic canges. The board looks different, but is fully software compatible with the 1996 model. It now fits better, and a protection against floppy cables attached in the wrong pin order has been added.

With the Catweasel for the PC you can read Amiga disks as well as all other formats the Catweasel knows, and uses them in emulators. For exsample, the usual formats for all Amiga and C64 emulators are supported. Catweasel works with the usual PC disk drives, so you don't need "original" drives like the 1541 from the Commodore C64.

Ref: News 15.07.2000 - New Virus Discovered
On 07/15/2000 we published a message by Andre Gobet. This message was wrong. The authors of the concerned CD Techno DataBase 00 put our attention on that.

The problems were not caused by a virus but by the replacement of some systemfiles during the automatic installation process. These lead to some incompatibility with the installed OS 3.5. If Andre had read the manual he had known that there was the posibility to make an installation by hand.

We and Andre Gobet are very sorry for this failure

"Scene Archives #1-8" available
For some time APC&TCP offers the CD-ROMs "Best of Scene Archives" and "Scene Archives #9". For a few days "Scene Archives #10" too. Some users asked us if the numbers 1 to 8 are also available, because it is a risk to mail 120 DM to australia. But these is not possible because we do not think that the slaerates would be high enough to cover our costs.

But APC&TCP we tried to find a solution. We negotiated with the australian author and decided to make some kind of collecting-order.

Further detailed information are available on our newspage.

The team of the 3D-game Drake, which orientates oneselves on Microprose's Pirates! seems to have found a publisher. It isn't named for now, because the contract isn't signed yet.

By now, the 3D-engine gets many improvements. More physical laws were added for more realism.

The Drake-Team consists of Oliver Gantert, Andreas Hippauf and Tobias Lutz. The homepage (link) contains some information and screenshots of the game.

Comparison between AmigaOE and Microsoft's .net
In his article Jonathan Clark compares the AmigaOE-System by Amiga/Tao with the .net-system by Microsoft.

Both systems use a virtual processor but have huge differences, too. AmigaOE always uses the little Endian-display, Microsoft offers depending on the processor little or big Endian. In addition, .net contains more type-information in its VP-code. AmigaOE offers a complete OS with Java which can run independently while .net will strongly depend on the WIN32-API and makes operation difficult on Unix-systems.

This and other points are described better in Clark's article.

Simply unpack the archive amiga-ncurses.tar.gz under Linux using the following command:

cd /usr
tar xzvf amiga-ncurses.tar.gz

Now type in "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/amiga/lib" and then the Amiga SDK can be started with "intent_shell".

Voyager 3.3 Alpha as well as Spurious Offers
Oliver Wagner released an alpha version of Voyager V3.3 on August, 4th 2000. This version is presentating the new layout engine. This alpha version is not ought to replace a running browser, due to essential features are still missing such like FORMs (objects are created but have no function yet), FRAMES, IFRAMES and JavaScript (code is present but not active yet). Sending in bug reports, missing features or similar therefore is not necessary.

At shareit.com spurious entries of Vapor programs at immense prices were made. These entries were not made by Vapor and hence should be left ignored.

Vapor belongs to the MorphOS alpha testers and there might be a V-port, but at the time beeing there are no fixed plans of doing one. Concentration points on finishing the new version for AmigaOS.

  • New: Mail-Checking-System.
  • New "Mail-Check-Window" for sound and notifications.
  • The directory structure was slightly changed and should be readjusted at the first start of the software after the update.
  • At the first start one must select the user the program shall begin with, since this save format changed, too.
  • A Problem in the relogin system was fixed. The start window was send to sleep mode under many circumstanced, even if it realy should not do that.
  • There are still some CyberGuard/Enforcer hits, but those could only be reproduced random, so far.
  • The IO packet window now supports Cut'n Paste, so the last values bevore/after an error including all CyberGuard/Enforcer hits can be sent to the author.
  • Notice: In the case of Miami it is recommended to use at least Miami V2.1p, V3.2b or MiamiDX V1.0c - with those AIM was tested successfull.

AIM requires MUI V3.8 and serveral custom classes.

Coyote Flux Opens Temporary Website
Since the 68k->PPC assembly porter/language PPC680x0 was finished a little while ago, Coyote Flux has opened a temporary website at www.coyoteflux.tmfweb.nl

PPC680x0 will be released on Haage&Partner's StormC 4 CD appearing in October this year. Take a look at the website to find out more about PPC680x0, Burnin' Rubber 2000, Super Amicon and more...

PPC680x0 is an assembler program which is able to convert 680x0 sourcecode to PPC sourcecode. This could change all 68k programs easily to PPC. The programmers, by the way, are the guys who had to pose as a popular camera subject with their Amiga bobble hats on almost all fairs.

«After Explorer, Webspace and Samba now another popular EDP term became the object of trademark quarrels: the specialist book author Volker Jungbluth asked several companies in the last weeks to refrain from using his wordmark "ASP".»

«1998, Jungbluth registered the describing term "Site Promotion" as wordmark and then sent the internet consultor Andreas Roemer a warning plus a cashing up of 1895,21 D-Mark (about US$900) because of alleged trademark violation.»

«The German ASP consortium which represents more than 60 companies, has called upon Jungbluth to draw back the registered trademark. Jungbluth denied this, said consortium speaker Werner Grohmann: ",Now our lawyers become active; currently an expert's report is beeing made."»

XSurf-IDE Drivers for Free!
Jens Schönfeld wrote: "Since today is my birthday, it's my treat today! As a big thank-you to all X-Surf customers, the XSurf-IDE driver is available in the support-area for a free download now (not only today!). This would not have been possible without my retail partners who gave me financial help for this gift:

Software Hut (USA, 15%)
Eyetech (England, 5%)
KDH Datentechnik (Germay, 15%)
Vesalia Computer (Germany, 15%)
Eternity (Germany, 5%)

Please think about one of these retailers if you buy something for your Amiga next time. Special thanks must go to Eyetech again for the friendly permission to include their Samba-install-CD with the X-Surf.

Happy birthday, Jens. May all your wishes come true. :-).

Heise: Wave of dissuasions against Open Source Network Software Samba (Update)
«Offerors of support for the open source software Samba are effected by a wave of dissuasions. Several companies part of a list in the web recieved a letter demanding them no longer to offer, advertise for, distribute or utilize Samba for buissnes communiction. Samba is an application which allows to use Unix and Linux platforms for server and client in a Windows network. This free for download program belongs to the most popular successful projects of the open source software area. The name SaMBa comes from the SMB protocoll used in Windows networks.» Entire article at the titlelink (German).


In the meanwhile I have a notion that dissuasions are mutating into a marketing strategy and are no longer ought to enforce rights, but only to serve the purpose to arrest attention. The senders of these dissuasions can be sure of the entire press to jump at this subject. The advertising effect is invaluable, cause even negative advertising is in fact advertising, as already well known. That often very enthusiastic people who worked hard and often without any payment for their project are driven to economic ruin by this, is just the fly shit falling through the grid. :-(

Supplement 04 Aug 2000:
CMG statement on SAMBA
«In the meanwhile emerged the responsibility of name for open source software belongs to an Australian internet company. CMG will contact this company and try to achieve an agreement, so that the in Germany incidentally same name can no longer lead to any misconceptions.

At the same time CMG will stop the dissuasiveness procedure against the contacted companies, which just offer support for the open source software. Also no further dissuasivenesses are planned. After all it is not CMG's intention to harm the buisness of open source offerors or to handicap distribution or use of these products.»

AROS Status Update
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 12:00:20 +0200
To: AROS Announce mailto:aros-announce@aros.org
Reply-To: aros-announce@lists.hepe.com
Subject: [AROS-Announce] Status update

BGUI has been completely ported to AROS, now. This means that the library
can be compiled and that all demos run. Cudos go to Stefan Berger.

Michael Schulz is working on making mice work on AROS Native/i386.
This includes work on a PCI.HIDD, an IRQ.HIDD, the VGA.HIDD and the
Serial.HIDD plus an IDE driver. Trackdisk is there, too, so the
next thing is to find a filesystem to use. We try to get SFS because
it seems one of the best filesystems for the Amiga at this time.
The SFS developers seem to be very positive to this, we'll see what
comes from it.

As for the Sowatec AG hiring
developers for AROS, all I can say at this time is that we had several
job interviews and things look quite good. The only thing that might
break it at this time (as I see it) is that we get not enough people.
We figured that we need four developers and last I looked, we had three
and one interview still open. Don't hold your breath but press your
thumbs :-)

Nils Henrik Lorentzen has begun to write a framebuffer.HIDD which
uses Linux' framebuffer for rendering. Right now, it's mostly for
debugging (it's a synchronous interface instead of X11s' asynchronous
one) but maybe, there will be a AROS Native/linux-i386, ie. a
version of AROS that will boot with the help of a Linux kernel
but without the need to install a complete Linux system. We'll
see what can be done here.

And I'm diving into the depths of Ami, the SDK for the next Amiga
by Amiga Inc.. As it looks, the
SDK is a bit disappointing because it's very rough and has lots of
holes but on the positive side, Amiga's crew is very helpful and
the developer support is just great. *sigh* Had we just had such
a support in the old C= days. Many thanks for their effort go to
Ray A. Akey and Gary Peake and all the members of the
Tao and Amiga
support staff that I'm bombing with EMails ;-) If they can keep this
attitude, then I have no doubt that in five or ten years, people
will name Ami in the same breath as Windows, EPOC and Linux.
Something really to look forward to.

As for stats, I'm proud that we made 40k hits on our web page and
this year has also been very productive from the EMail side: Last
year, there were about 300KB mails/month in the developer list.
This year, we have 1MB mails/month ! Thanks go to all those
members of the development team that have not been mentioned here
but who do important stuff, nonetheless (in no order): Henning
Kiel and Lars Bischoff for reporting bugs, Georg Steger for
cleaning up after the other developers have raged through the
code and calling me back to earth when necessary, Jaime Dias for
asking "stupid" questions that make us think what we're doing,
Manuel Lemos for trusting us with BGUI, Requin Frederic for
helping Michael Schulz, Tobias Seiler for continuing the NetBSD
port, Bernardo Innocenti for bugging people to allow us to port
their software to AROS and last but not least all those people
who I forgot :-) Thanks to you all; it's your
work that makes this possible.

And at the end, a short note to all those people who started own
ports of the AmigaOS: Good luck to you all. I think you will find
out soon enough why AROS took soo long. The AROS team is still
willing to share their knowledge and code with everyone out
there. And we can do this because of the MPL, the only true Open
Source license :-)

"Publius" - The Web against Internet Censorship beeing Tested
«"Share and rule" - the classic formula to ensure one's power now apparently is turning against the governing people. Initiated by computer scientists from AT&T and the New York University a two month lastig experiment of a "censorship resident" publication system starts. On Tuesday 02. August 2000 the distribution of the proxy server shall start up, on 7. August 2000 the testing of the client software will begin.

The Publius named system ensures the promulgation of web releases similar to FreeNet by putting them on numerous servers using the peer-to-peer technique, and under some circumstances this will be done by splitting the files. Hence it becomes harder for potential or existing censorship offices to close documents in this system by carrier liabilities. More over that Publius relies on multible endcoding: It is only possible to decode the pages after all the splitted framents has been put together again. For the carrier of a server those pages are unreadble. For this reason the carrier cannot be hold responsible for content he/she is not able to know.»

Mojo Nation: Another new System for File Sharing
«While Napster and Scour (after music the movies) are fighting for their future and one of the atlernative share servers, CuteMX, had closed for the time beeing waiting for the smoke to disapear, which came from the injunction against Napster, which was suspended again in the meantime, Mojo Nation started their test run and touts for users with an amount of features most of the competitors could not offer, yet. E.g. the software even supports it's own micropayment feature, as no other does by now.»

«Those seven cypherpunks believe that they have created the next "killer application" for the internet whith their sophisticated system. "We are a mixture of Napster and eBay", blew Jim McCoy, CEO of Autnomous Zone Industries, his big role models to Wired News.»

RegNet-Registration
RegNet informed me, that they'd be releasing a new site and that the transfer should be smoothly - however due to an obvious IP address change, http://www.regnet.net currently points to some completely different site (after first only containing an error message and then being down for a while). I would expect, that the DNS server entries get updated soon and would be be glad, if people that have not been able to register since 26th/27th of July would try again in a few days.

Interview with Moss and Ewen
Daniel Robbins took an interview with Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen (Amiga) that has been published at IBM in the section "developerWorks:Linux overview:Library - papers".

The interview starts with the Amiga Classic and brings out very positively what it really is. Next, the technology of the new system is beeing explained. Most of this should be known already.

Bill McEwens statement the SDK was sold out after 15 minutes at Neuss, is, as already said by Sebastian Brylka at Fun Time World, wrong. It was available there for a lowered price on the second day, too.

Daniel Robbins is president/CEO of Gentoo Technologies.

ANN


News from AmiWest
Teemu I. Yliselä has listened to the UGN live audio stream of Bill McEwen and basing on his notes (he did not record the stream himself) he summarized the following on ANN.

The target term for the release of the AmigaOne presently is December 2000. AmigaOne will base on Amiga's own motherboard design including not off the shelve components.

Amiga founded their own hardware department leaded by Dean Brown. This department is ought to design custom hardware for various devices, which then will be offered to third party manufacturers for production.

The SDK is selling better than expected. Amiga is in contact with a large number of big consumer electronics and software companies including every important game smithy. Many of them already purchased the SDK. After Bill McEwen's recent two TV gigs the companies' interest increased.

A SDK version for Windows will be available from next month.

From next week Read Hat will distribute the SDK. Sun started to utilize Amiga's software to present Java, too.

It is beeing planed to release beta versions of the OE.

Amiga plans to go public

Paul Nolan will take care of jobs under contract for Amiga.

Licences: No software developer will be forced to pay sums to Amiga. Instead of this there will be the possibility to take part in an unsolicited certification project. This project will offer the opportunity to put the Amiga lable on your own product, and the chance of your product beeing marketed directly by Amiga. This will cost 1,50$ US per sold unit.

Amiga will offer low cost promotion and merchandising products to the users.

At the show Amiga presented a touchscreen basing on the ARM and running with the new OE. The design came form Mick Tinker.

Back compatibility to the Classic Amiga will be carryed into effect by the OE using something which will not be an emulation.

Village Tronic Petition
Untill the end of September votes for the Village Tronic (VT) Petition can be made. This petition intends to persuade VT to place service documents at the disposal of authorized repairing companies to ensure technical support for or repair of VT products. VT still did not state concretely on the subject how to deal with the repair of their products in the future. At this time there is no repair support.

Unfortunatly Paul Qureshi only recieved about 200 votes, by now. So, who did not vote till today either can make this up at the titlelink or can send an email directly to the promoter of the petition.

T.o.T. Update Feature Disabled
Eternity at their news section:
«Unfortunatly it has happened, certain users procured themself unauthorized access to our ftp server. For this reason we were forced to disable the update feature of the Tales of Tamar Demo. We point out that more such trials endanger the release of an Amiga version of Tales of Tamar definitively. We are not keen on working for nothing for four years and we have attached a lot of money to the development. Only our alpha testers are authorized to access our ftp server. Furthermore we point out that definitively there will be no Aminet version of Tales of Tamar free to duplikate. Thus there is no reason for such trials.»

«But the abatement of the preliminary injunction does not mean winning the proceeding raised by the recording industry, at last - the current decision only keeps up the status quo untill the court has dicided on the reproach that Napster would violate the copyrights of the musicians, and the music companies knowingly and purposely. Untill early August Napster has time to comment the charge. The music industry can then answer on Napster's comments untill early September. The judgment is then expectet during September at the earliest. »

Heise: PowerPC in Reconfigurable Hardware
«Xilinx, the market leader for reconfigurable ICs by cooperation with IBM[1] obtains access to IBM's PowerPC processor design. The PowerPC processor cores shall become connected to reconfigurable FPGA circuits. Thus custom circutis can be integrated directly in the chip - without developing application specific ICs. In general FPGA enables faster development along with fewer costs than with conventional chips. Additionally FPGA basing produkts are more flexible, cause of the real circuit of the ICs can be changed easyly. Xilinx[2] is planning a possibility for updates already integrated into the chips.

Beside the processor core and the aligned CoreConnect-Bus Xilinx gains acces to the current method of copper production, by which they hope to enhance the performance of their chips. IBM with this cooperation targets more promulgation of their PowerPC processor.»

Back to the Roots News
Back to the Roots (http://www.back2roots.org), the Amiga Culture Directory project, was updated again.

The companies Vision Software and Croteam are supporting our little project now, too. Since today you can download the games "Roadkill" and "Woody's World", as well as the brilliant soccer game "5A-Side-Soccer", which is the indoor version of Football Glory.

Also the games Whale's Voyage 1+2, Black Viper, Fightin' Spirit and Spherical Worlds from Neo Software are back online, because the contract with Alive Mediasoft was never valid. Impressions, the strategy experts from the States, are supporting BTTR now for a long time and now we can give you the games "Afrika Korps", "Airbucks" and "Caesar Deluxe" for free.

Demo scene freaks will find tons of new stuff (demos, pictures, mods), too. Some of the new additions from the scene are looking so great, that we can't describe them with words. They're a must see. Especially most of the 64k intros are really fascinating as well as all the new eye-candy in the pictures section.

For all those who don't know BTTR, yet: BTTR is a legal web project which attempts to cover all areas of the Amiga (games, demos, tools, pictures, music and much more). Commercial software (games, tools, and so on) are offered for free download only with permission of the publisher.

EASys


EASys! CD Pirate Copies ?
To protect our customers from purchasing pirate copies of the EASys! CD, we have now put a Scan of the CD-ROM on this page. The EASys! CD should come as a pressed silver CD (no CD-R!) in a jewel case with 4 color cover (color cannot be smeared with a wet finger) and CD art in two colors (rasterized black/dark pink). Should your CD not match one of these criterias, it is most likely a pirate copy. Please email us in this case when and where you bought this CD!

Only dealers that got our CD through the distributor GTI should be in the possession of originals. The same is of course also true if you ordered the CD directly on our homepage or by phone from Eternity.

SHARKS!-wbesite reworked
"SHARKS!" is a game that takes place underwater. Aim of the game is to collect treasures with a scuba diver and to get them to your boat. You have to pay attention on sharks. A little arrow, at the right upper corner, points to the treasure. In later levels are appearing jelly-fishes that touches are not deadly but decrease the score. Electric eels do the same. SHARKS! is available since May 2000, the CD will cost 30DM (for shipping outside of Germany add 5DM for postage) and can be ordered from:

Torsten Dudai: I'd like to thank all the people who wrote to me. Although I didn't reply to each email, I was pleased about them.Your reactions to the caricatures help me to improve the quality. Now I invite you to vote for your favorite caricature in our new poll and also to decide if further caricatures should be blackwhite or colored.

Amiga Link Directory (ALD) News
Because of some more news about activities in different Amiga chat channels we have established a new category. You can enter your website about special Amiga chat channel in "IRC/Chat". In this way we can provide an overview for all users on which cahnnel is when and where active. You can enter FAQ sites about IRC in this category.

If you do not have a website for your IRC-channel, maybe you can think about to create a little site about how to reach your channel, what to expect and when to meet ;-).
