Mail program: New YAM developer version of 21-Dec-2002
Since December 21st, 2002 a new developer version 2.4-dev [020] BETA of the mail program YAM, which has become open source in the meantime, is now available. This version is just a developer version, which possibly still contains quite a number of bugs, and for which no warranty and support will be offered by the developer team. Inquiries to developer versions by email remain likewise unanswered. Use it on own danger!

The changes made in the meantime can can be found in this document. Further information is availabe at the Yamos on SourceForge page.

Cloanto (ANF)


Amiga Forever 5.1 Released
Cloanto released today version 5.1 of Amiga Forever, the official Amiga emulation and connectivity package for PCs. New features include improved emulation components, new Amiga and Windows software (e.g. new Software Manager, Amiga Explorer, ReqTools, support libraries, etc.) and updated documentation and help files. For the first time since 1991, when the Amiga Narrator and Translator speech synthesis components were discontinued by Commodore (who reportedly was not willing to continue to pay a $1 per unit royalty), this software, which was part of the multimedia features which inspired several enthusiasts to buy an Amiga computer, is again available with the Amiga OS. Amiga Forever 5.1 includes both the original and fully licensed speech software in the preinstalled 1.3 configuration and a newer custom setup in the 3.1 ROM environment. As for all Amiga sound output, the emulation makes it possible to save the digital data, so as to preserve forever (maybe for use on an answering machine?) the original accent made famous by various This is Amiga Speaking demos.

Amiga Forever 5.1 runs on all Windows systems with DirectX 8 or higher (DirectX 9 has just been released by Microsoft). A cross-platform edition is available for Linux users. The downloadable versions costs $29.95, while a CD-ROM version, which includes additional Amiga ROM and OS files of historical interest (e.g. Amiga OS 1.0) and more than three hours of video footage in MPEG format, is available for $59.95. Upgrades are also available now. A free update from version 5.0 to version 5.1 will be available for Christmas. In the meantime, the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) section at amigaforever.com has been reorganized and updated, and includes up-to-date information and tips concerning Amiga emulation, data preservation and cross-platform connectivity.

New Quake2 mods
Two new mods are downloadable on the Amiga Quake2 page:
  • WarMod for PPC
  • Asssault for PPC
  • As well as an archive with a whole number of mods recompiled for 68k, you still need the PPC archives and have to install the 68k mods over them. You can use the 68k version's installer which does it automatically (if you add the directory containing the 68k mod archives with "assign Mods: ... add" the installation should work).

Adocify is a tool to manipulate developer documentation in AutoDoc and HTML format, especially for sourcecode written in C. The integration of document fragments from C header data of macro and structural definitions is made possible.

News:
  • Shareware fee payable through PayPal
    Since yesterday I've had a functioning PayPal Account. So now there is an easy way to pay the shareware fees over the Internet.
  • Action Pay Feature
    This action allows the user to, after a previous consultation for reasons of practicality, "purchase" a new feature [he will code the feature you request into one of his programs. -DM].
  • Amiga98 St. Louis lectures online
    I have uploaded my seminars that I made at Amiga '98 in St. Louis.

MorphOS: Birdie Shoot goes Gold, Knights&Merchants in beta testing
Arcade fun shooter "Birdie Shoot" has gone gold for the Pegasos/MorphOS. New MorphOS users will soon be able to take part in the addictive digital hunt for all sorts of crazy Birds that takes place in 4 great levels. Best of all: Birdie Shoot comes free with the new operating system MorphOS.

Our next game for the Pegasos/MorphOS will be "Knights&Merchants". The 800x600 version of this great empire builder has already been demonstrated at the ARC in Aachen earlier this month. Now in the final stages of betatesting are both versions of the game including the 1024x768 version of "Knights & Merchants".

More information on both these titles can be found in the Projects section of our homepage. (ps)

Audio: Aseq needs beta testers
Aseq needs beta testers, to test the forthcoming beta release, expected early 2003. Please contact aseq@xs4all.nl if you are interested. There are no minimum requirements for the system as of now, except you need AmigaOS 3.1 or higher. And a midi setup would be a handy addition, but not necessary.

Also you can now donate using the button on the site. It will entitle you to a discount of 45% when you buy Aseq. The site has been updated and a news section has been added. (ps)
