Having all switches activated somewhere in this level opens the exit to the next level.

AROS: New snapshot available (2002-07-03)
Adam Chodorowski has made a new binary and source snapshot release of AROS.
You can download it from SourceForge, at the AROS download page (see
title link). He hasn't done much testing, but i386-pc does boot
on his machine at least. There's a huge number of changes since the last
snapshot which he won't go into (since he don't really remember them all).
One new thing to play with though is Zune (our MUI clone) which is
included in this release (in contrib).

Amiga Future: Question to all Amiga dealers concerning the new child protection
Andreas Magerl writes: "In a short time the new child protection law will come into force. According to this law every game and CD-ROM purchased in Germany must be checked for an age certification. Currently that costs about 500 Euros [about $500 -DM] which makes it uneconomical for every Amiga game. The same thing probably applies to the Mac Market.
I would like to hear from Amiga manufacturers and dealers if they have been able to make sense of this? How are the individual firms reacting? How do they see the future?
Even now, when the law has not yet come into force, should we not react as quickly as possible, otherwise it'll all soon be over with the Amiga market. Sticking our heads in the sand is nothing. Challenges to this law cost 50,000 Euros and no-one can afford that!" (ps) (Translation: dm)

be a new demo version as well. I can't tell an explicit date of release now,
it depends on how fast the translations will be finished.
I am sorry that there has been no new version of the HSMathLibs for so long,
but there was no other possibility and there were reasons.
With my comment regarding the news
"HSMathLibs Version 44.50 Beta 2 und 8" from June, the 22nd 2002 I wrote some issues about that.

Amiga Inc.: Promotion Clarifications and Update (Executive Update)
Promotion Clarifications and Update
Bill McEwen - July 1, 2002
Greetings to one and all, and a big thank you to all of you who have participated
(and to others out there who will hopefully participate) in the promotion.
I have some points I need to clarify and a desire to, once again, be completely
honest with all of you.
Here we go:
One question that has been asked of us a lot is "Why are you doing
this promotion?"
This promotion is not about pre-selling AmigaOnes, nor pre-selling Amiga
OS 4.0. We are in no way pre-selling these items. Others have taken your
money in the past, with no products ever delivered to customers. We are
not doing that, nor would we EVER do that. In spite of what some
may think, we have learned well the lessons of history, and we do not
intend repeating them. The AmigaOne board exists in every way that a motherboard
can exist. It has been shown, it is in use, and is being used in software
and hardware development. As a point in fact, I know that once the news
is disseminated further regarding the show in France that took place last
weekend, the largest majority of you will be very pleased with the progress
shown in the development and deployment of the AmigaOne, and you will
know that all this is very "real".
This promotion is not about the pre-selling of AmigaOS 4.0, either. You
have seen the screen shots, it is in the hands of developers, and I am
excited (yes I used the "e" word, AGAIN, but hey, I am
EXCITED, as we all are here, and we have earned the right to be
excited!) about how well this project is coming along. OS 4.0 will run
on other PPC products besides the AmigaOne, like the CyberStorm and Blizzard
PPC accelerator cards. That's because you, the members of The Community,
with many and varied needs, wanted this support. So we delivered this
legacy support in response to your expressed desires. OS 4.0 and
beyond are providing us with a new future for the AmigaOS in many different
traditional hardware configurations.
So for better clarification, the AmigaOne is a motherboard that will
be sold to dealers. Dealers will then be able to sell the AmigaOne as
is, or can build a complete system, or sell you the parts and let you
the end user make it yourself. AmigaOS 4.0 is not pre-loaded on the system,
but is sold with the AmigaOne.
With regards to OS 4.0, you may purchase this product separately from
the AmigaOne, and it can be loaded and used on other Amiga PPC products
and systems and are certified for OS 4.0.
Whew, I think that I have it correct now.
With all of that out of the way, and I trust better clarification I want
to share with you the real reason behind the promotion and why it is so
very important for all of us. Along with this information we are making
a change that better reflects what the promotion is attempting to prove:
We are working daily with developers, 3rd party services, investors,
dealers, and past dealers who are looking to return to the Amiga market.
The one critical question that is asked of us every day is "How many
Amiga customers can we look forward to, as a base for a return on our
investment in the market?" "We are not interested in spending
money developing software, only to sell a few hundred copies. " These
are quite valid concerns, and we want to answer them accurately. These
same sort of questions do apply to the number of AmigaOnes we will build
and the number of components that are purchased to effect that construction.
The dealers must have a reasonably accurate idea of how many cases, peripheral
components, even shipping boxes to purchase, so they can build AmigaOne
motherboards up into full desktop solutions for their customers, and we
have some very large, and I mean huge electronic stores who may be interested
in starting to carry Amiga products again, if.....and only if we can show
that
there is a viable market for the products. This is important information
we need to learn here, not only for ourselves but our network of partners
as well, both our announced partners and those waiting in the wings, watching
the Amiga market and the Amiga Community.
This promotion is far more than filling some nebulous coffers: it is
about letting the developers and the world know that Amiga is a market,
that the Amiga Community is viable and that it is one that is most certainly
a market worth developing for, and a market and group of people worthy
of recognition.
Now I know that many out there are in a "wait and see mode".
I keep receiving messages from many of you that tell me that there are
100's of thousands of Amiga aficionado who will come forward once the
new products are out, and I must say I agree. I know that there are many
more out there waiting before they commit to a purchase. This I completely
understand as well. The issue immediately before us is that we really
need to prove that there is a market out there for Amiga today, and that
there will be even more people tomorrow.
This promotion is about bringing the Amiga family back together again,
reforming the ranks if you will, and preparing us all for the great
successes we can create together, as we make the necessary moves
towards the merging of the DE and OS technologies in AmigaOS 5.0 and beyond.
We are committed to being able to show that Amiga is a force to be reckoned
with in the technology realm, and to showing that there is an opportunity
for developers to return to the Amiga platform and start making money
again, with Amiga the platform and Amiga the company.
So yes, the promotion is designed for fun. Yes, it is designed to deliver
a good value for you, the members of the Amiga Community. It is also about
providing proof to the skeptics that Amiga is here to stay and that we
are a market they need to recognize, for which they should develop, that
this Amiga Market would be worth their investment of time, effort and
money. At the end of the day, this is business, and business is about
providing a return for all involved.
With all of the above stated, I am going to change this promotion somewhat,
to better capture what we are determined to achieve with this promotion,
the Amiga and you. We are going to do something here that will let everyone
know that we are part of something great and significant. Most of you
have been here far longer than I have and I appreciate the fact that most,
not all of you, but most, have adopted me into your family. So in order
to better accomplish this goal, this promotion is changing.
Now
when you join the "I am Amiga Club" for USD 50.00, (EUR 50.00,
or GBP 32.50) you will receive a shirt signifying your membership, a coupon
that can be used for a USD 50.00 (EUR 50.00, or GBP 32.50) discount on
an AmigaOne, or OS 4.0 (for those of you who wish to run this new OS on
your existing 3rd-party PPC cards) you will also receive a newsletter,
and throughout the next 12 months you will be the first to learn of new
products. We will work together with Amiga-associated companies to offer
significant discounts and other special promotions to the Amiga Club members.
All of the rest of the promotion still applies and all members will be
automatically entered into the sweepstakes.
Here is how you may purchase the promotion:
In my very USA-focused approach (I apologize for that, it won't happen
again) I did not think through the process of ordering the promotion without
a credit card. And for those of you outside of the USA, where so many
of you reside, you can now use Pay Pal, and certain debit cards that carry
a credit card logo may also be used or you can also send a check, money
order, or bank check to:
Amiga, Inc.
I am Amiga Club
P.O. Box 887
Ravensdale, WA 98051 USA
Please include Name, Address, and all of your other necessary details
for us to be
able to deliver the products to you. Also, please include your E-Mail
address, if you have one.
By the end of the week, you should also be able to purchase this promotion
through your local Amiga dealer. This will make it much easier for all
of you to participate in the promotion and order the items from your local
dealer. We will still send you the certificate and the shirt directly,
but this may be easier for many of you to participate.
Last Item: Extension of the deadline!
We have been asked by many of the dealers and many of you in the Community
to extend the promotion deadline so that more of you may participate.
Well, we agree and the promotion deadline will be extended to July 19th
at Midnight Pacific Time (0900 GMT July 20th). We will update the numbers
daily and we are working to get others to share the news with their friends
also.
Until we meet again, I look forward to as many of you as possible joining
in letting the world know that Amiga is very real and is very much a force
that has yet to truly have its time in the sun.
Every membership counts. If you have been sitting on the fence wondering
if this is "another money-grubbing idea," You Are Wrong...
What we are really about is unifying the community of Amiga users and
partners as we move forward. We are dealing with companies and vendors
who would like to believe that there is a viable community willing to
spend money. Amiga Inc. just has to be able to demonstrate to them, provably,
that such a community and such a market exists. I hope that all of you
will join the Club and be a part of that proof and history.
One more clarification: All of you who have already purchased the coupon
are automatically entered into the club and will receive all listed benefits.
So to summarize:
The AmigaOne is a PPC Motherboard that will be sold to dealers where
you may purchase the product.
AmigaOS 4.0 will run on the AmigaOne and other Amiga PPC certified products.
All people who have purchased the coupon will automatically be entered
into the Club.
Amiga Club membership includes a Shirt, A discount coupon that can be
applied to an AmigaOne, AmigaOS 4.0 or a combination of the two. It also
includes a newsletter and future product discounts on other Amiga products
and Amiga associated products. These will also include AmigaDE related
products and those products that are Amiga Enabled (more about these in
the newsletter).
Also the shirts will be produced in more than one continent, so that
we can expedite their delivery to you.
All items will be delivered after the completion of the promotion, and
initial sign up program.
So come on now: I know that there are more of you out there. Lets make
this happen together.
(ps)

68k version here. Most of audio/video codecs are now distributed as external
plugins, so remember to download codecs, either ppc or 68k, depending on what
version you prefer.
Please note, that this release should be considered as beta, with lot of things
still missing, and with lot of bugs (some known, check included documentation
for more info, and some still waiting to be discovered...)
Now enjoy.
Alternative to the title link you can use also this mirror:

Database: SN-MünzArchiv V1.01
Steffen Nitz has released version 1.01 of his coin management software
"SN-MünzArchiv" on Aminet. This program is suitable for all popular coins (e.g.
Euro, DM, GDR, investment ounces etc.). He writes about this:
On the Ami-Force page of CJ-Stroker a
survey has now gone online to
find out which collectors databases you'd like to have.
Please participate lively - even those not interested at all, so I can get a
relatively correct impression.
Planned features for version 1.1:
- A sales window, to get an overview of which coins have been sold (with
statistics).
- Introduction of a year number statistic.
The following changes have been incorporated into the current version:
Version 1.0
- Instructions are now available.
- A parts list window for each quality type has been added.
- It is now possible to search for entries.
- A new statistics type (enumeration) has been added.
- In list processing the lists can now be sorted and entries deleted.
- On startup via CLI a data record can be passed which is then loaded
automatically. Thus it is possible to start the program by
double-clicking a data record. It is also possible to enter a data record
in the settings which is to be loaded upon startup of SN-MünzArchiv.
- Entries can be exported and appended.
- Lists can be printed.
- Upon saving of a database, a backup (.bak) is now created.
Version 1.01
- It is again possible to enter records into the lists without having to
press the sort button.
It may not have escaped your attention that some features had already been in V0.8. I had made the mistake of doing 2-3 uploads with this version number which is why I list all changes from after the first upload.
