Game: New compiles of AMHuhn and AMHuhnXE for the 68040 and the 68060
The author of the game AMHuhn Telemar Rosenberger has recompiled the current versions of AMHuhn and AMHuhnXE for the processors 68040 and 68060. Telemar's debugger does not show any errors now it should run bugfree and clean now and he hopes that the game runs better now on some systems.

The new versions of AMHuhn and AmHuhnXE are included in the download archives in a German and English version. Please read the notes.

Download: AMHuhn.lha - 315 KB

Important notes:
1. The new compiled executables were tested under the precondition that the current beta version 4.5 of AHI is installed (we reported).

2. Who has not installed the games AmHuhn and AmHuhnXE before has to install the complete archive from the AmHuhn website. Within the upper download archive there are only the new executables. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Speech control for Amiga in planning
Carsten Siegner writes:
From today on I will work on a speech control for the Amiga. A speech control modul of "Conrad-Electronic" will be used for that. This one can control 65 different channels which are addressable by freely programmable speech commands. There are different speech recognition modes:

There is a single word recognition and a multiple word recognition. That modul might distinguish between "Arteffect start" and "Arteffect end" if ran in multilpe word recognition mode. The aim is a speech controlled toolbar or a speech controlled Internet browser which might open a special page on a shout. Probably an ARexx or even a speech controlled computer start or shutdown script might be possible.

I could imagine that the Amiga itself might give some feedback, probably with an audio feedback. That might be of the kind that after a spoken command the computer comes to word and gives a confirmation of the received command. The computer voice could be any sample.

Ideas and suggestions are welcome. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Interest on the print magazine 'Total Amiga'?
Fun Time World and Amiga Arena are discussing together with Robert Williams the possibility to sell the English print magazine "Total Amiga" in Germany. Before they like to know if there is a demand for that magazine. The retail price would be about 4.50 EUR + porto and package (about 1,50 EUR) per issue. People interested on a subscription might please send an email to us.

For a positive decision there is a demand of 50 interested requested. Further details are to obtain by email from us. With a subscription people are ment who will buy the magazine regulary i.e. they have to pay not in advance but issue per issue. Only on request there might be subscriptions for a fixed number of issues available.

The current issue is about 52 pages, 44 of these are without adds. An index of that issue is to obtain from here. To get an impression of the quality you might have a view to a pdf version of the magazine. Following this link you will come to issue 12.

The magazine is mostly done on Amiga and published every quarter year, a monthly rhythm is planed as soon as the Amiga market improves again. The magazine is printed in black and white. Further information is to get from our homepages: Fun Time World or Amiga Arena during the next days. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Music: Access Virus MIDI commands for tracks&fields 0.4
Kicko writes:
First i appologise for sending this info in the german part of amiga-news.de. The problem is when using long dir/filenames t&f wouldnt show the commands in commandslist. To solve this i have renamed the VirusPageA-C dirs to VirusA-C. Then in t&f in config window use an assign like V: to tf:commands and it will work.

But remember that you have to reload every commandn in list to use the V: assign instead. There is other solutions too like renaming the command names too. Many of them are numbered like 000.bankchange.cmd. You can rename it like bankchange.cmd. And also you can copy the commands you like from the virus drawers to the actually tf:commands and use them from there. Its upto you. Im not good in assembler so i cant fix it. Maybe someone can do it for me? (ps)

USB driver: Poseidon version 2.0 available
Chris Hodges writes:
I've just uploaded the current work in progress version of Poseidon. Although the version number has been bumped to V2.0, it contains mostly bug fixes. Please don't be disappointed, if you would have expected more from this release. I've had a lot of things to do (e.g. writing the driver for the cool Algor board and the FlashRom tool for the Romulus/Algor) and then again, I'm only coding on my spare time.

Nevertheless, this is a free update for all registered and licenced users except for one. This "Rat" has to stick to the old version. Support is something bilateral.

People who had problems with their digital cameras using the CB or CBI transport protocol (remember, Class 8, Subclass x, Protocol 0 or 1) could try again with the new mass storage class. It might work. I've spent some days with the USB Floppy drive I've borrowed from a friend of mine and works with it.

Also, AutoMounting has been improved, so the manual mounting process required by a few devices/media should be worries of the past.

As usually, there are new binaries for MorphOS as well (and if somebody missed the news, the Pegasos USB driver by VFD has been released into the public a week ago). Anyway, stay tuned, there is more to come. Enjoy the update. (ps)

Music: Access Virus MIDI commands for tracks&fields 0.4
This is really no update to the actually commands but a description how to solve the problem with using these commands in tracks&fields.

The problem is when using long dir/filenames t&f wouldnt show the commands in commandslist. To solve this i have renamed the VirusPageA-C dirs to VirusA-C. Then in t&f in config window use an assign like V: to tf:commands and it will work. But remember that you have to reload every commandn in list to use the V: assign instead. There is other solutions too like renaming the command names too. Many of them are numbered like 000.bankchange.cmd. You can rename it like bankchange.cmd. And also you can copy the commands you like from the virus drawers to the actually tf:commands and use them from there. Its upto you. Im not good in assembler so i cant fix it. Maybe someone can do it for me? (ps) (Translation: sk)

AmigaWorld (ANF)


Weekly Q&A's with Fleecy Moss - episode 2
The English online magazine AmigaWorld has published episode 2 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) BrianHoskins: I know it's a little soon to start drudging up time scales for a more commercialised OS, given that AOS4 isn't quite out yet, but when do you think the Amiga Platform is going to be in a position to release a new OS aimed at the wider audience? Im not talking about exact dates here, just approximately. A Year? 2? 3? More?

Fleecy: As I said in an answer to last week's questions, it is very important that we have a good market profile before we release a product into that market. By that I mean having a comprehensive list of the activities, requirements and roles within that market and, as important, a list of what our competitors offer and plan to offer.

This covers not just the operating system itself but also the hardware, the application base and the pre and post sales and support infrastructure.

You only tend to get one chance to launch into a market and so you have to make sure that you have all the bases covered otherwise it may fail, negative association may follow and this could affect not just any potential relaunch into that market but activities in other markets as well, both existing and planned.

By a wider audience, I assume you mean into the general desktop/home computer market. Based upon that, we need to attend to the following areas.
  • reliable supply of good quality and competitive hardware
  • a stable, localised, well documented and supported operating system
  • a supply of good third party applications, both available and in progress
  • an effective marketing campaign - reviews, advertisements, presence.

That said, to appeal to a wider audience, we need to provide a solution to their needs. The majority of people use a computer to
  1. surf the net
  2. email
  3. Instant Message
  4. compose letters
  5. manage their music collection
  6. play a few simple games
  7. manage their digital photograph and video collections

We thus need to make sure that we have a solution that provides for these seven basic activities, to at least an industry standard level. This means applications, either in house or third party and an operating system which supports those applications.

This itself will be influenced by the move from Amiga Generation 1 (AG1) to Amiga Generation 2 (AG2) technology. For example there is little point in expending lots of effort on a brand new HTML rendering engine or a new printer system until the AG2 graphics service is completed, since both of these will make heavy use of it.

As you say, prediction is not an exact science but assuming full access to the necessary resources I would say that 18 months after AmigaOS4.0 ships, we should have all the elements necessary to offer a compelling alternative in the wider market.

2) seldom: Is there some kind of estimation, when there will be a Java VM for AOS ? Obviously this would open up a whole bunch of apps and developers for AOS. Maybe there is some way to do something special (tight integration into OS, boosting GUI implementation) about this implementation, so it gets especially attractive to develop/use java-apps. for/on AOS ?

Fleecy: Personal Java and MIDP will be available once the AmigaDE runs on the AmigaOS. Once that is the case, we will then look at expanding it into a full java implementation. Such a project would be a lot of work though and would most likely not be resourced until deep into the AG2 project, both because AG2 is more important and because Java itself would be a customer of AG2.

3) DaveyD: Have you considered porting an open source browser such as mozilla to AOS and if so, will it be included with AOS?

Fleecy: We have been looking on with interest at the path followed by Apple with Safari, their new browser and will most likely follow a similar path. We need to consider this though against the wider picture of what goes in an OS and what is/should be provided by third parties

4) SlimJim: Will there be an official list of supported hardware for the AOne + AOS4 combo released before the launch of the actual OS? I know this has been asked before, but it would be nice for people with Earlybird systems to be able to start putting together the hardware (with Linux) now, safely knowing that the addons they buy will also be supported by the upcoming AOS4.

Fleecy: This already exists, built and maintained by those who already have AmigaOnes, and supported by Amiga, Eyetech, Hyperion and Mai. You can find it at

http://web.amigarulez.com/ahs/

The new Amiga Power Platform website is currently under development and will be launched in the near future and will provide lists of hardware, software and links to reviews.

5) Rebel: Why has Amiga Inc not involved its community more? There are many talented graphics artists, webmasters, programmers that could be called upon to help. Also surveys on features etc that users want the most. AI's refusal to engage the users has helped to fragment that community further.

Fleecy: The issue with using the community comes down to the essential delineation between a business and its market. If a company takes work from external sources then there are legal questions of ownership and moral questions of remuneration. As an example, many games companies used to welcome idea submissions from the game playing community as a way of generating new product concepts but a few years ago, a few of them were sued by people who had made submissions and who claimed that their ideas had been used without reward. It is thus necessary to ensure that any flow into a company is legally secure.

Having said that, we do work with the community in several ways.
  1. We often use Amiga artists for graphics work. The new OS4 advert is a good example.
  2. We are working with several webmasters and artists for the new Amiga Power Platform website.
  3. The development team of AmigaOS4.0 consists of many of the best community based developers.
  4. We consult with a group of trusted community figures on issues, ideas and concepts.
  5. The Club Amiga Monthly eMag and the soon to be released DEv DE developer eMag receive extensive contributions from the community.

Of course there is always room for more and as AmigaOS4.0 moves towards release, we will be extending our efforts in that regard. There is a lot of contact and communication with the community but a lot of it goes on behind the scenes.

6) alx: What tools will be available to develop for OS4?

Fleecy: The OS4 team and in particular Olaf Barthel have put in a lot of work to create a GCC compatible compiler which is free of iexmul and older compiler dependencies. We are looking at developing a proper IDE around this to give Amiga developers a world class development environment, and integrating this with a new documentation toolchain. A developer CD will be forthcoming. This is of course subject to change as we move forwards.

Now that we have an eMag pipeline, proven with CAM, we are soon to introduce the DEv eMag for AmigaDE developers and we want to produce a similar product for AmigaOS developers.

7) alx: Do you know when the new SciTech graphics drivers will be integrated into the OS (ie as a Boing Bag, or in OS4.2 or whatever)?

Fleecy: The plan is to release it as part of AmigaOS4.0. It most likely won't be part of the CSPPC version but then that hardware doesn't have the luxury of many graphics cards.

8) Unclecurio: There was much talk of the Zico spec in the early days. Is Amiga Inc continuing the development of these blueprints and, if so, when can we expect to hear more?

Fleecy: The Zico spec was an indication of the type of functionality that we intended to provide with AmigaOS4.0. Our future plans for the AmigaOS will introduce new types of hardware across a range of device classes but we won't be releasing details until individual projects are much more advanced.

9) Kay: Have you given any thought to communication between Amiga desktops and AmigaDE capable PDAs? If so, what devices can we expect to be using together with our AmigaOne systems in the near future?

Fleecy: This is something that we intend to provide once the AmigaDE is on the AmigaOS. However, there are also opportunities for other device synchronisation as well - PocketPC and Palm PDAs, MS and Symbian powered smartphones and of course the digital music devices.

10) The_Editor: "The Matrox are supposed to be an A.Inc Partner... Have / are negotiations taken place to port/create NLE Editing solutions for A1?"

Fleecy: Our partnership with Matrox is currently limited to providing drivers for their product path. There have been initial contacts about their video application offerings and we have agreed to talk in more detail once we can provide them with AmigaOS4.0 on an AmigaOne for them to assess.

We have been contacted in the last week by a company which has expressed an interest in bringing video capture, editing and presentation software to AmigaOS4.0 but I cannot give any more details at this early stage.

Felix Schwarz: Sale of old AMIGA hardware
In order to create room for new hardware, Felix Schwarz privately sells AMIGA hardware items which are no longer required. Among those there are AMIGA computers as well as digitizers, interface cards and non-AMIGA hardware. Especially interesting for some might be the Amiga 4000 on which the main part of the development of fxPAINT, fxSCAN and VHI Studio had taken place (in the meantime moved to an A4000T).

As this is private hardware there is no guarantee - the sale is NOT through IOSPIRIT but is purely of a private nature.

This has no influence on the further development of the software titles by IOSPIRIT - even after the sale there are still three AMIGAs and compatible computers remaining. Have fun bidding! (ps) (Translation: cb)

The archive http://jpv.wmhost.com/releases/FAG-MD03.LHA has a "Happy new year98" virus in it. There is a link to this site from amiga-news.de. Also don't run this even after the virus is removed (VirusExecutor does the job) - it's an ugly pictures of gay porn. UGLY. Must be erased from every Amiga Hard Disk immediately.

As the Aminet unfortunately seems to be down, at least uploads aren't sorted anymore, I have uploaded right now a new version of FTPMount to my homepage.

Download: FTPMount.lha

A download link isn't available on the site but it should be direct accessable. Well, what has changed? This can of course be read in the "FTPMount.readme".

The archive is very similar to the v1.31 by Martin R. Elsner on the Aminet, I had unpacked it and done my changes. The main thing is that I've done a new compile, made some changes, set the version to 1.4, added a 68040 version and the complete source code is now also included.

In case that anybody has a bug report - just send it to me! (ps) (Translation: wk)

Amiga Arena: Interview with Steffen Schiller (Fahrschule 99)
A few days ago was the once low cost program "Fahrschule 99" released for free download by its developer Steffen Schiller. Other than the name is suggesting it's not an old program but "Fahrschule 99" offers to all those who are doing their theoretical driving licence or who just want to update their knowledge the up-to-date data for the classes B and A.

Here it shows once again that the Amiga sector offers actual applications that are not only for free but also cover topics that are suitable for the daily use. the only drop of bitterness for todays Amiga users will be the fact that "Fahrschule 99" is made for an Amiga 500 and PAL screen mode.

As especially this kind of normal use software is so important for the future of the new Amiga generation to cover a wide area of themes spoke Olaf Köbnik to Steffen Schiller about the future of "Fahrschule 99".

The result is the 100th interview Olaf Köbnik (Amiga Arena) has done who already told us that the 101st interview with another interesting and actual company is in the works. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Cinemaware statement
As reported in the end of February here told clickBOOM in their S-File 22 that there are differences with Cinemaware. Today Cinemaware published the following statement:

Statement from Cinemaware
Hopefully you know who we are as Cinemaware, as we are well known for our past Amiga games. We are of course doing new titles as well as you can see on our web-site www.cinemaware.com. We have also started a series of "Digitally Remastered" titles with clickBoom for a while - but unfortunately that has gone badly. I was wondering if you could report the information below on your website.

We understand that some of classic Amiga/Cinemaware fans have been concerned about certain news spread around by clickBoom, the Canadian developer which Cinemaware has employed to develop the "Digitally Remastered" series of games. At this point Cinemaware would just like to make a simple statement that clickBoom's allegations are false and misleading, and that we will issue an official statement in the future regarding this matter.

In reference to this, Cinemaware would appreciate if anyone involved in the below cases come into contact with us as soon as possible, writing to cinemaware@cinemaware.com: As you can see history tends to repeat itself.

In the meantime, we appreciate your support and understand your frustration at not being able to see more "Digital Remasters" coming out soon. We are working hard to resolve this situation.

Please look out for exciting news regarding Robin Hood: Defender of the Crown soon!

Sincerely,

Lars Fuhrken-Batista

Golem: New version of Office-packet Papyrus awaited
»Papyrus X as Word-version and as Office-packet announced
At the beginning of April 2003 the Berlin software company R.O.M. logicware is going to publish a new version of the word processing software and of the Office packet Papyrus. The word processing software which originally comes from the Atari world (TOS) will be now offered for MacOS for the first time additionally to versions for OS/2 and Windows.

The Amiga version which has been announced of Titan Computer 2000 is still not available. Michael Garlich said that because of the current market situation the Mac version has the highest priority. The MorphOS version (and PPC) is already in alpha stadium while the Amiga version can be only started after AmigaOS 4.0 will be published (68k is too slow for Papyrus X). (ps) (Translation: dr)

Death of a German ScummVM Programmer
Sebastian Beloch quotes the website of the software project ScummVM: Last Friday, March 14th, our fellow ScummVM developer and friend, Felix Jakschitsch (known to many under his nickname yot), committed suicide at the young age of 19.

We are completely shocked by this, and do not know or understand what drove him into this. It is a sorrowful world in which a cheerful, intelligent and helpful man is put in a situation in which he sees no other way to escape than taking his own life. We are sad to lose our valued friend. He contributed important work to ScummVM, including much of the Zak256 support. His loss is felt deeply by all of us, and we extend our condolence to his family and close friends, whose grief we share. If you want to leave a message to his friends and family, there is a guestbook available.

Also here is a news paper article telling more details (use babelfish if you don't speak German).

Felix, we miss you and will never forget you. (nba) (Translation: dm)
