BTX/CEPT access changed
T-Online has changed its access to the old services. For Windwos there is an upgrade available.
Unfortunately Multiterm 5 does not manage with the changed protocol and reports a socket error.
So the comfortable online-banking with the Amiga has an end. Or does anybody have a solution for this
problem?

Additionally Horst Diebel made a statement regarding "Schlachtfeld":
"After some people gave up Schlachtfeld already here is a brief statement:
It is correct that we actually are at some kind of a dead point. There are one/two errors which simply seem to don't want to be found for any reason.
And additionally we don't have that much time - so solving this problem will not be too soon. In parallel we develop the new Amiga map editor for the new Schlachtfeld firstly. For the weekend I am looking forward to publish some new pictures - actually a playable demo can't be published yet - unfortunately!"

Astronomie: Digital Almanac III V5.0 available
After months of development the new version of the astronomy program Digital Almanac III has been finished.
In the moment only the German version is available. Because of the enormous amount of data the new version is only on CD-ROM available.
About 30 MB of new data has been added. The sidegrade price for registered users will be 10 EUR.
Some CD-ROMs of V5.0 have been delivered, but without German documentation. This can be downloaded from the homepage.
The English version will be delivered later, because the documentation will be finished soon.
New features:
- Leaner program
- New clear GUI layout
- Integration of Tyco-2 and GSC-2 star catalogue via Internet
- "Digitized Sky Survey"
- More online information from different object classes available
- Integration of Hertzsprung-Russell-diagram for spectralanalysis of stars
- Integration of the Hipparchos star catalogue as cross index
- Integration of the "Virtual Moon Atlas" (25 MB data)
- Integration of the Jupiter satellites J6-J13
- and many more...
This is the last version of DA III. It is based upon OS3.9 and needs a gfx-board and a lot of RAM. AGA will not be supported any more.
The last version for smaller Amigas and AGA users is V4.8.
All Amiga CPUs from 68020/FPU up to 68060 and PPC are supported. It also runs with WinUAE, AmigaXL and Amithlon.
Have fun with the new version

Catweasel Software Updates
The Windows drivers for the PC-versions of the Catweasel controller
(ISA and the new MK3 PCI/Flipper versions) have been updated. The
most important change is the support for C64-disks, minor bugs have
been fixed in the diskimage-tool. The new combination of programs
also breaks a small record: A C64-disk is read completely in slightly
more than 9 seconds. The archive also contains some textfiles for
programmers who want to take advantage of the interfaces or the
SID of the controller.
Download: cw_win_pci.zip (115 KB)
The Linux drivers have also been adapted to the MK3 PCI/Flipper version.
Closer information about this can be found on
Michael 'Rawstyle' Krause's website.
Tim Mann has also adapted his cw2dmk tool to the new controller.
DMK is a file format used by TRS-80 emulator programs. Find out

WWW: Privoxy V3.0.0 for MorphOS
Jörg Strohmayer has released version 3.0.0 of his MorphOS port of the WWW proxy
'Privoxy'.
This is a multiuser proxy with extended filter features to protect your own
private sphere, filter Web contents, manage cookies, control access and
filter out adverts, banners, pop-ups and other unwanted contents.
As this is Jörg Strohmayer's first program for MorphOS/PPC, and he has no
developers documentation about MorphOS, and the public MorphOS GCC archives are
incomplete (parts of libnix are missing), he is asking to send bug reports directly to him by eMail
(joergs+mn@expires-2002-12-31.nexgo.de)
and not use the bug tracker at Sourceforge, except if the bug is also present in
the AmigaOS/m68k port.

Hardware: IBMs PowerPC 970 & Mai Logic Northbridges
In the December PowerPC newsletter, IBM has announced some news about the PowerPC 970.
According to it, the 'Power4' Server CPU's desktop descendant is to come with a vector unit which is compatible to Motorola's PowerPC 74xx's (PowerPC G4) AltiVec unit.
Among further features of the up to 1.8 GHz clockable Power PC 970 is the up to 900MHz fast processor interface which facilitates transfer rates of up to 6.4 GByte to the Northbridge.
Furthermore, the 64bit PowerPC 970 is said to also execute 32bit applications on the same performance level and in native mode.
32bit operating systems should be able to utilise the full performance of the PowerPC 970 CPU's 32bit mode with only small updates.
The first samples should be shipped to developers in the 2nd quarter of 2003.
Articia Northbridges:
The Articia-Northbridge's next generations are to be shipped to developers in the 1st quarter of 2003 (the 'Articia S' used in AmigaOne and Pegasos has been listed for comparison):
Articia S : 133 MHz Prozessorbus, 133 MHz SDRam, 2xAGP, 32-Bit PCI

AmHuhnXE
AMHuhnXE has been finished and will be made available in the next few days for all registered users. The sending of the accounts will be started today. Because of the change to 16bit samples is the archive much bigger than the one of AMHuhn. It's around 8.8 MB in size.
AMHuhn1.2 (update)
There's a small update for AMHuhn fixing a bug in the highscores. The GFX update will be moved into this update and it will be made available for all.
Update:
The update is now available and contains the GFX update. The enhanced guides are in the archive, too. The first 150 accounts of AMHuhnXE have already been sent. All other people will get their copy at latest on Monday or Tuesday.
Update II:
All accounts have been sent. People who have unfortunately received more than one mail please delete the further mails.
