Jabberwocky (Website)


Instant messenger: Jabberwocky V1.4
Tom Parker and Matthias Münch have released the version 1.4 of the instant messenger 'JabberWocky' for Amiga computers. Jabber is an open XML protocol for a direct message exchange.

A connect with other instant messengers like AIM, ICQ, MSN and Yahoo is possible by using gateways.

Download: Jabberwocky030429.lha

Changes within this version:
  • http.c - Added Content-Type and Filesize to Transfer Header and eliminated null character in the Header. File transfers using WEB Browser now work. Apr 5, 2003
  • transfer.c - Eliminated superflous gadgets from File Transfer window to reduce user confusion. Apr 6, 2003
  • userinfo.c - Added seperate update procedure for Transports to avoid double roster entries. Apr 15, 2003 (Bug ID 584725)
  • roster.c - Replaced double contact removal with seperate removals for Users and Transports. Eliminated subscribing to Transports to avoid double roster entries. Transports are supposed to be registered and not subscribed anyway. Apr 16, 2003
  • agents.c - Added line to clear agents list when connecting. Eliminates multiple agents lists when disconnecting and reconnecting. Apr 20, 2003 (Bug ID 550881)
  • presence.c - Eliminated duplicate subscription requests when disconnecting and reconnecting. Eliminated enforcer hit that occurred if the Subscription Window "Accept" or "Reject" buttons were clicked after the last subscription request was removed. Apr 21, 2003 (Bug ID 554328)
  • roster.c - Added functions to close any open user windows before removing a contact. Also added error_pix to the roster dispose function. Apr 24, 2003 (Bug ID 549722)
  • roster.c - Added functions to close all open user windows before disconnecting. Fixes enforcer hits that occur if you disconnect, reconnect and attempt to use windows that remained open. Apr 25, 2003
Note - The changes I made in roster.c and userinfo.c clear up the enforcer hits that are present in the current prerelease of v 1.4. It doesn't fix the source of the problem though. I think the hits are actually originating in the iksemel library when some unexpected or unusual XML is received. Something may have to be changed there eventually. (nba) (Translation: ub)

Audio track "Call to Ancestors" by Bjorn Lynne online
Bjorn Lynne writes:
"First of all, many many thanks to those of of you who already bought the new CD "Power Liquids", which I released about two weeks ago. This is an album of trance / electronica that I made toghether with my friends in Aural Planet, and it has been extremely well received so far. Thanks again to those of you who have given your support so far, by ordering the CD.

Due to popular demand (!) I have now made one full-length track from the album available to hear online at http://www.mp3.com/bjornlynne. It's the first mp3 track there. This is in addition to the short mp3 clips from ALL the songs on the CD, which you can still hear at: http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html

While you are at my mp3 page, please give all my other tracks a play as well, as it may help them to get higher in the mp3.com charts and make more people "discover" my music through the mp3.com site. Thank you!

And for those of you who have still not discovered the new album: "Power Liquids", you can read all about it (or even order it) here: http://www.lynnemusic.com/powerliquids.html. Your order (should you place one!) will be shipped out within 24 hours by me, personally." (nba) (Translation: ub)

Pegasos: Summary of all the things regarding the Articia
Within a comment at OSNews.com Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck sum up all the mess regarding the Articia chip and confirm the use of the Marvell-Northbridge for the Pegasos II. The support by Marvell and their interest for the Pegasos II is said to be very high.

The Articia-S versions were specified. The northbridges used for the Pegasos I are said to be Articia S #A660BNGP, these were not produced any longer. For testing purpose some of the new Articia S #A660BNGE were purchased.

The specs for the G4 cards (July) and the Pegasos II (September) were confirmed within the comment.

Furthermore links to BeOS pages are listed which cover Genesi's attendance at the BeGeistert show: BeGroovy, BeForever and LeBuzz.

Again the Pegasos II will be offered for a reduced price to the Phoenix members after the demand for the Pegasos I has not been feeded completely.

Finally they tell that Eugenia Loli-Queru, chief editor of OSNews, received a Pegasos so that there will be a report by her soon. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Report of the 19th April C= show
Hello C= fans!

You can find some pics of the last show at our website. On this page you see Thomas Margolf with his SIDsyn and Arndt Oevermann who's working at the demo show. On this page you can see the stereo C64 from Dirk Kledtke. This was a great success and the sound of this machine was unbelievable!

Also there's an English report of the show. The next show we will organize is at June 28! This is a change of date because of some accomodation problems. As extra we organize than an Amiga Party! We want every Amiga freak to join us at this party! Look here for more information. Look here for latest news and new at our homepage is a boulderdash page and a Dutch software page where we wanna archive all Dutch C64 software. Both pages are under construction and will be soon 100% active.

Greetings Ron van Schaik (ps)

Bill McEwen still Amiga CEO?
According to statements by Ray A. Akey of Amiga Inc. and Fleecy Moss, Bill McEwen is still CEO of Amiga Inc.
Yesterday Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco have circulated in a news item at MorphOS-News.de that Gary Hare was CEO of Amiga Inc., with whom talks had already been held (we reported).

Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco stand by their statement, see the following comments at morphos-news.de, ANN and again ANN.

Carsten Schröder paraphrases this nebulous situation to the point:
"The state of the news is becoming more and more nebulous: In the meantime Fleecy Moss and Ray A. Akey, members of AMIGA, Inc.'s management, have denied a change at the top management level. Bill McEwen, however, hasn't piped up yet, while Genesi again confirmed the change and are currently trying to get in touch with Gary Hare.

Conclusion: There have been various bankruptcies and corporate acquisitions of the AMIGA mother company in the past - but I personally can't remember a situation where there was uncertainty about the current principal of the company.

At the moment I'm regarding two scenarios explaining this situation as the most probable ones:

Scenario 1: The shareholders of AMIGA, Inc. have decided to exchange the management but not informed them (or some of them), while the designated CEO has already had talks with Genesi.

Scenario 2: Genesi have been had. I'm regarding a deliberate false report improbable as this would do much damage to the company's reputation."

Here the statement of Amiga Inc's Ray A. Akey:
"Bill McEwen is currently the CEO of Amiga and the fact that there is no PR to the contrary about this on our website means that there is no news. Anyone describing the appointment of a new CEO as "old news" is obviously posting information for their own motives and reasons since "old news" requires it to be "new news" before it can be "old news" and since Amiga Inc hasn't posted such "new news" then the motives of the person describing it as "old news" while simultaneously putting this new news into the world have to be questioned."

Here the statement of Fleecy Moss:
"Has Amiga Inc changed CEO?"
Fleecy Moss: As of this moment Bill McEwen is the CEO of Amiga and if a new CEO was to be brought in, it would be because of Amiga expanding as a company and Bill needing to concentrate on being Chairman and President - currently he is CEO as well and three top jobs in a company that is attracting the attention we are is at least one job too many.

Any CEO to be brought in would be as part of the team and would be totally in sync with the current strategic direction of the company. If someone is posting information to the contrary then it can only be for ulterior motives. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Official release from YAM v2.4
DESCRIPTION

YAM (Yet Another Mailer) lets you send and receive electronic mail over the Internet and maintain archives of messages in your computer. The idea came to Marcel Beck in 1995 when he first tried using email: the programmes available at the time were either powerful but complicated to configure, or else used a too limiting graphical interface. The goal, therefore, was to program a cross between AdMail and AirMail, with a few ideas from Pegasus Mail.

YAM made its first public appearance in early 1996 under the "mailware" concept. The unexpectedly enthusiastic response from the public led to a steady development of YAM that reached its finest hour in version 1.3.5, the last incarnation in the "classic" series. By then, YAM had turned into one of the most popular Amiga programmes ever, and won Marcel the appreciation and several awards from the Amiga community thanks to its simplicity and ease of use. Unwilling to stop at that point, Marcel spent almost two years developing YAM2. In the summer of 1999, a greatly improved YAM set some of the standards that would be lately imitated by other popular Internet applications. In November 2000, Marcel finally gave up out of lack of time and motivation, but was yet kind enough to release the "final" YAM 2.2 together with its sources under the GNU General Public License. On this day and age, Marcel Beck is still fondly remembered by many as one of a selected few who made a difference on the Amiga.

Today, after YAM 2.3 and 2.3p1 fixed some of the most outstanding problems in the original sources and almost 18 months of hard work have been spent, the YAM Open Source team is proud to make the legend continue with YAM 2.4, the most powerful Amiga mailer to date.

AmigaWorld (ANF)


Weekly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 7
The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 7 of the regular questions and answers session with Fleecy Moss, CTO at AMIGA, Inc. (Update 2012-03-17, cg: as the original document is no longer available, the following content was moved into our database):

1) ikir: Are Elbox working with Amiga Inc/Hyperion for OS4? Or for their SharkPPC compatibility?

Fleecy: We have a 'gentlemens agreement' with Elbox that we will not make any announcements or discuss plans, projects and products until they are ready to make those plans, projects and products public. If you want them to share that information, I would suggest you contact them.

2) sgm: Is the corporate market a possible target (in the light of the surging WebServices fever)? If so, is a high-performance XML parser being considered for OS4.x?

Fleecy: All markets are obviously targets but there is no point in entering them until you have a product, a pitch and a story. The creation of such obviously requires an expenditure of resources and since we are, as with most companies 'watching the pennies', we have to decide which subset from the whole range of opportunities is to be targeted first. If by corporate you mean 'enterprise' then that is not a first stage target but if you mean OEM or embedded then the answer is very much yes.

As for the XML parser, XML has been introduced with AmigaOS4.0 and will continue to spread until it is a system wide service.

3) Jose: It's been said and known that if AmigaOS is to be a server OS it will lose it's hardly earned advantages, and stop being AmigaOS as we know it. Could in the future be various versions of the OS with one being the continuation of the Classic in PPC, like most amiga users that have supported the platform for the past years seem to want?

Fleecy: AG1 was created with a very specific set of configurations in mind - workstation and desktop. Consoles, STBs and servers didn't really exist during its key definition and the idea of Smartphones, PDAs and digital consumer devices were science fiction. Having said that, the CDTV and then the CD32 were moves in the right direction but as anyone familiar with those devices knows, there were really a computer repackaged with extra bits hacked on.
AG2 is designed to accept that hardware is a commodity and that it can be configured and deployed in many different markets. This is part of the reason for the move to a service based architecture, because multiple configurations can then be created from a core set of services with configuration specific services being added or replaced by ones more tuned to the target device profile.

This will allow Amiga to offer a 'toolkit' to OEMs and to create 'distributions' for shrink wrapped markets - a console product, an eFamily product, a SoHo product, a hacker's product etc. Such flexibility gives us a distinctive advantage over having to custom chop a single product for each potential customer.

Rob: 4) Books on programming the Amiga are out of date and very difficult to obtain these days. Have you any plans to get some books published covering modern Amiga programming for the beginner. It is important to get some fresh talent into scene and not just rely on existing developers. Topics covered should include Warp3D, AHI and other more recent developements to AmigaOS.

Fleecy: I couldn't agree more. We intend to expend considerable resources on a full development toolchain, with good documentation and tutorials covering all levels. These will be developed in parallel with the development of the AG2 domains.

5) ssolie: Does Amiga Inc. still plan to take back control of the AmigaOS 4.0 source code (i.e. purchase it back from Hyperion) and produce your own releases beyond AmigaOS 4.0?

Fleecy: Absolutely. The transfer of AmigaOS4 to Hyperion was done for a number of strategic reasons, one being to protect the AmigaOS for the community and prevent it being left in limbo if anything should happen to the parent company as was witnessed after Commodore and Escom went bankrupt. We will reassert ownership when both Hyperion and Amiga judge the time to be right, and there are certain less than obvious benefits to maintaing the current situation.

The location of ownership has nothing to do with the future plans. Amiga Inc is fully committed to the development and expansion of AmigaOS way beyond AmigaOS4.0. Detailed planning and design for AmigaOS4.1 is already underway alongside the parallel path of AG2. AG2 technology will be rolled into the AmigaOS4 release family as and when it is ready but the two will not be dependent on each other - in other words potential delays in one will not affect the other. Contrary to the occasional speculation that Amiga doesn't care or has no plans for the AmigaOS, that product line is and always has been vital to our future success. Back in 1999, it would have been impossible to gain interest and investment in a company offering a desktop competitor to Microsoft and so our public strategy had to be tailored to fit that reality.

It isn't 1999 anymore.

6) DaveP: With the advent of AOS4 and AmigaONE series board are you also investigating the more lucrative possibilities in the heavyweight commercial sector or is it still far too soon to start? ( example: solutions, services and bringing even lightweight transaction processing products onto the fast reliable messaging codebase of ExecSG ?)

Fleecy: The Amiga Development Pipeline (ADP) starts with the Opportunity Analysis stage. Each AG2 domain thus considers every possible opportunity and attempts to identify every potential customer for that domain, both internal and external. This is then feed into the next stage, the Solution Description stage. This ensures that we will design a solution that covers as wide a customer base as possible, even though the actual implementation versioning may chose to spread out that complete design over a set of releases.

So to answer your question, yes we are looking at a huge range of potential markets, open, embedded, horizontal, vertical and total but our ability to exploit them is determined by the short, medium and long term strategic implementation plan.

7) alx: Will there come a point when you stop supporting accelerated "classic" Amigas? If so, when?

Fleecy: Yes there will. As to when, that will be decided by the simple equation of when the cost and effort of developing a version for those accelerated Amigas is more than the revenue that that version brings in. We want people to upgrade to the new hardware and we do recognise that we have to support the existing investment made by Amigans in the short term but ultimately the platform can only advance if people advance with it.

It should be obvious to most people that AmigaOS4 is going to run far more impressively on a new, cleanly designed, higher specified AmigaOne than an accelerated classic Amiga. It should also be obvious that the cost of maintaining and extending an AmigaOne is going to be substantially less than that of maintaining and extending a classic Amiga.

8) donV: Do you know of any plan or project to produce a laptop that will run AmigaOS4?

Fleecy: There are lots of plans for many different product, both from ourselves and from third parties but I do not want to comment on specific products until we have prototypes in front of us since many plans and good intentions often come to nothing. We'd obviously love to have an AmigaOS4.0 powered laptop as well as an AmigaOS4.0 powered STB, games console, PDA and Smartphone.

9) Bodie: In a previous Q&A, you mentioned the development of a highly advanced calculator for AmigaDE. Could you provide any extra details in terms of its functionality?

Fleecy: The calculator was created by a prominent AmigaDE developer in response to a demand from a large customer and I'll see if he is willing to write an article about it, possibly for CAM. It is particularly impressive because of its modular design, essentially a framework for functional units so it can be as simple or as complex as the set of modules that are installed. This means it can be used for a variety of functions - standard maths, computing, physics, chemistry, stock taking and with the ability for third parties to write their own modules.

It also features a variety of graphic and interface modes - static and dynamic graphing (and I know we have a customer interested in volumetric modelling), standard single line, multi-line and plans for a shell like page set.

10) Jose: Can a service based architecture(future AmigaOS) be as much effective as the Classic AmigaOS, comparing the services both provide? I mean to how much extent does a service based architecture would compromise the efficiency and the character of AmigaOS, if it does at all ?

Fleecy: A service based model is very efficient and not that much different at its heart from what the existing Amiga does now, a testament to its advanced original design. Its main extension is that it adds abstraction and management capabilities that open up distributed computing, all the way from simple home networks to parallel matrices. For developers there will be some new things to learn but quite a bit of that has been added to the new library model. The existing user interaction model can stay the same on top of it but it also opens up the option of far more advanced user interaction models, in particular moving from an application centric system to a content centric system - for example bring a set of content together and then being presented with the set of services that can be applied to that content.

Call by Call in Ortsnetz: Information Offering at teltarif.de
On this coming Friday, the 25th of April, the last monopoly in the German telephone market fell: the Ortsnetz. The consumer was not much able to benefit from the popular Call-by-Call option. With the Call-by-Call option, the caller selects a number sequence, generally 5 characters, and so directs the call over an alternative provider, instead of Deutsche Telekom.

It's already observable that the consumers will benefit from significant savings, from Friday on. "A short 30 second call to the barber or taxi company costs just one cent using the sequence 01078 over the provider 3U, instead of the six cents charged by Deutsche Telekom up until now" per Martin Müller, business leader of the fee-comparing www.teltarif.de. 3U offers local calls in about 1500 local networks, and accounts for the one second pulse.

Arcor kicks off in about 36 hours, beginning with an offer for local and quasi-local calls. The prices are thereby over those of 3U, but are also good for conversations to destinations maximally 20 kilometers from the originating point. These conversations are designated quasi-local.

Market experts are still expecting the offers of Tele2 and 01051 Telecom by Friday. Other enterprises have announced they will start in May. (nba) (Translation: dm)
