The old design was online now for over 3 years and therefore it had to be
replaced by a new one. Additionally the homepage is now more functional
and user-friendly. The Airsoft Softwair homepage is available in two
languages: The international version is online at
http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/.

SUBWAY production started
Michael Böhmer of E3B writes:
Not ignoring the difficulties within the Amiga market we at E3B decided
at least to start a small production run of the SUBWAY USB card also.
The open positive feedback by many Amiga users was not a small subject
to make this decision. Therfore we see the introduction of the SUBWAY
as a small gift to the users.
We hope to give a positive sign for the classic market and hop to fulfill all expectations of quality and innovation.
The smallness of this production run will cause some delays. The availability of this card will, as usually practised by E3B, be announced by the known dealers when the shipping really starts. Stay tuned.

Thendic-France about AmigaOS4 on Pegasos (Update)
In the article MorphOS, the Pegasos, and other PPC Operating Systems and Platforms at MorphOS News.de Thendic France takes position to the possibility of Amiga OS on Pegasos. Therefore they are gladly ready to ship (or let ship by other distributors) theire Pegasos system with operating systems of other manufacturers if they can be run problem free. But there will be no kind of dongle version that will be supported by Thendic France. Further details can be found in the original article (see title link).

Encryption software: PGP Version 2.6.3in
Under the title link you find a small download side by Andreas Schwarz. Among other things you find the current version (20010323) of the encryption software 'PGP 2.6.ín' there. However contrary to the Aminet version one needs the ixemul 48 library. Nevertheless the speed corresponds at least to that of the age-old asm version of the Aminet. The list of fixed bugs is rather long. It was compiled using the GCC 2.95.1.
The archives are also very well arranged. They contain nearly the complete English docs + en/es/fr/de language files. The execs are for 020+ and 060. Praise to the author.

Event: Report from the Pegasos/MorphOS demonstration at the "BeGeistert"
To give you a first overview about who I met in Düsseldorf at the
BeGeistert, let's start with
Nicholas Blachford, known
through his audio software Aural-Illusion
and Aural Synthetica.
He did a detailed interview
in February 2002 for Amiga Arena. He is working as a software engineer for
Thendic France for about a month now.
Furthermore Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak were on board as well.
Bertrand is president of the ASUM
(Association of Sympathiques Utilisateurs de MorphOS), a union of MorphOS-fans,
which originated from the AFUA group (Association Française des Utilisateurs d'Amiga),
a union of Amiga-fans. Sébastien is currently founding a new French MorphOS print
magazine called 'Fly High'.
The Pegasos
"Betatester 1" computer system was being demonstrated with the
MorphOS operating system.
What hides behind the "Pegasos" and "MorphOS"? The Pegasos is a new PPC computer system,
or better said new hardware, which bases on an ATX motherboard offering dual G3/G4
processor support. This computer was developed by
bplan GmbH, Frankfurt, and is manufactured
by DCE, Oberhausen, and
Thendic France is the worldwide
distributor.
MorphOS is an excellent fit for this new computer.
Below we take a look at a part of an
interview done by amiga-topcool
with Ralph Schmidt (one of the MorphOS authors) to better understand why this
OS was developed:
amiga-topcool: Ralph, when did the idea for MorphOS strike you, and what
caused you to begin?
Ralph Schmidt: Let me go back a bit before that, because MorphOS is a stage
in a longer sequence of events. In September 1995 we (the former Phase 5)
decided to introduce the PowerPC as the new CPU in the Amiga market, because
there was no visible future for the old 68K series of processors. To that
end we worked not quite a year on emulations and plans for how the OS could
be ported.
All of that went out the window as we opted instead for the ppc.library
approach, for reasons of time and market conditions. Then in 1998 there was
again a bit of energy to the original approach after the Flash, ppc.library
and SCSI developments were winding down. We saw absolutely no sense in a
simple AmigaOS port or a 68K Workbench extension ala OS 3.5, so our goal was
the foundation of a new OS, an OS that would contain an "A-Box" for old
Amiga API programs. In March 1999 the microkernel for this new OS was
functional, in that such an AmigaOS box could be integrated and this would
then serve as the OS foundation.
So the operating system MorphOS (boots in 2.5 seconds) is a microkernel based OS,
upon which sits an A/box, which would then allow the execution of Amiga programs
(which don't access hardware), but faster as compared to Amiga hardware.
The operating system MorphOS has today matured to a good operational status,
Ambient (the Workbench clone) is based on MUI and can be adapted to individual
design wishes.
During the performance I have asked whether it is possible to use
hard disks from the Amiga to be used without problems. Bertrand attached his
Amiga hard disk as slave and booted his computer, after this we could
use all the programs stored on his Amiga hard disk.
However, if I say that the OS has arrived at a good operational point, I mean
that it currently runs faultlessly in the main areas, but there also are somethings
left to do. Herefor I would like you to remember that the individual stages of development of
our AmigaOS. AmigaOS wasn´t perfect at the beginning, and it isn't today. MorphOS is
nevertheless promising because there are already
many programs, that are converted natively to MorphOS, further software will follow,
just think about those many programs which are in work by
Titan-Computer and
e.p.i.c. interactive.
Around 15 programmers are intensively engaged in making MorphOS
a better solution in the meantime.
Users who think themselves to be capable of coping with a system which still
raises smaller problems, can purchase this Pegasos/MorphOS computer as a
so-called "Betatester1" (with NDA). Later, users of the Betatester1
still have the possibility to test additional hardware, such as a smart card readers.
The "Betatester2" will be sold at the beginning of the coming week, no NDA (obligation
to be silent about certain things) needs to be signed anymore. A date for the
official customer release isn't finalized yet. The German Distributor is
Vesalia, and on their website you can find
all the technical details.
Finally, some answers to the questions asked by amiga-news.de readers:
Which DVD- and CD-ROM-drives are utilizable? Are there any limitations?
Yes and no. Most devices run, there will be a detailed list on Thendic France´s website shortly.
When will the support for 512 MB RAM-modules be ready?
These already can be used, when it's registered RAM. There will also be a list
of all useable RAM-modules.
Will there also be support for Firewire and SCSI-adaptors?
SCSI now, Firewire later, there will be a commercial solution for this
interface not after the release of the video editing software
'Motionstudio' from Titan-Computer.
Is there planned TV out and dual monitoring support?
This does not run yet, but will be implemented. When isn't clear at this
point. It has definately no high priority.
What is the current state of Eclipsis and the JAVA-VM?
In development and there are first prototypes.
My personal impression after this demonstration: Not yet finished, but very very promising!

T.o.T.: New LARP-Videos and Aminet-Demo
From the Tales of Tamar Newspage:
"Dear customers and testers,
it is our pleasure to provide your with two news items
today.
First of all, we finally got the video for the second LARP
based on Tales of Tamar. This con was again organized by
the proven team around Daniel Stein and everybody had a lot of
fun.
Our thanks go to the great people at Virtual Dimension,
who professionally cut and produced the video. You can find it
under Downloads.
If all goes well, we will have an ambiente con in winter 2002/03
on a castle. It will also be the release party for the Tales of Tamar
base set. Every player is cordially invited. You will soon find
detailled information in the LARP section of our homepage.
Last but not least, today we have prepared a tech demo for Tales of Tamar
to be released on Aminet. This demo will help you find out if Tales
of Tamar works properly on your system and also gives you some
background information. It is the same demo as two years ago, but
based on new routines and now also works on Amithlon. Unfortuneately,
we're not able to test it on MorphOS yet, but if some MorphOS
betatesters download this demo, we would like to hear about possible
problems.
Wolfen
Eternity"

Amiga Society: Little Book of Amiga Software expanded (Might and Magic III ...)
From the Amiga Society Web site:
"The Little Book of Amiga Software is slowly growing - page by page and chapter
by chapter. This weekend about ten new entries will be added, and quite a number
will be extended.
Joining in are among others Might and Magic III and Oh no! More Lemmings.
The weekend will also bring extensions for Schlachtfeld.
Here, the team page (among others) will be expanded, but there'll also be the odd
information elsewhere.
Also, the translations of the various areas into German or English respectively should make some progress - o dear, and this with my rusted English. I'm already glad if my German babble is understood. Till then....
Yours, Horst"

Event: Pictures of visit to "BeGeistert" in Düsseldorf
Here is a selection of the pictures that have been taken today by Petra Struck on the BeOS event BeGeistert. Mainly, of course, pictures of the Pegasos/MorphOS and Walker presentations, which btw may be repeated on Sunday morning if required. An extensive report will follow.
Ulrich 'Scholly' Scholz (left) "guards" the entrance ... |
... and collects the entrance fee of 10 Euro per visitor. |
Most people are currently attending a BeOS demonstration ... |
... thus the room looks nearly deserted. |
While waiting for Nicholas, I have already shot a picture of the MorphOS surface. The windows' design is variable and, thanks to MUI, customisable. |
Gert is having BeOS explained to him at length :-) |
T-Shirts of all sizes and all BeGeistert event vintages are waiting for buyers, three of the old vintages can be bought for 25 Euro, the current "BeGeistert 2002" is 13 Euro. |
Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak of Thendic France |
Here a glimpse of the Pegasos' inside |
The complete system |
Nicholas Blachford of Thendic France |
(This picture in 1280 x 960)
A further look at the Pegasos' inside |
The Walker! Nicholas has given it a try, and partly even managed to make it work! |
The Walker's backside really strongly resembles a vacuum cleaner, the connectors however reveal that there is a complete computer with all the bits and pieces hiding inside. |
Here two - to my knowledge never before published - drawings ... |
... of Walker prototypes in a tower (well, rather a giant tower). The original pictures will be submitted to us later. |
I have seldomly visited events where the empty pizza boxes were so neatly stacked for disposal! |
Here now a couple of pictures from the BeOSers' room ... |
Discussions here, object lesson there ... |
... naturally, the pizza order is also important! |
Gert is looking forward to dinner at a Chinese restaurant ... |
... and I, too, am in the best of moods, for I have seen much and, obviously, I am totally delighted. Till next time with "Petra on Tour" ;-) |

Event: status report from the Amiga Meeting Nord
Slowly it's getting full ;-). We have really reached the limit of our capacity. Right now there are 30 computers installed. Our network is still running flawlessly. Hopefully there won't be any problems with the electricity ;-).
Around 17 o'clock will the premiere of the film "Dünn2" take place. After this will
Andre begin with the demo presentations. The organizers are really excited about the event being so popular. The first sales via our stock market have already been done. People are busy in handicraft work and especially in helping each other with the soldering-iron or just with good advice. Here still lives the Amiga feeling!
Under http://www.amigameeting.de/Webcam/Cam.jpg
is the web cam still running delivering a new picture every 25 seconds.

AmigaTalk V2.1 uploaded to Aminet
Version 2.1 of AmigaTalk today was uploaded to Aminet. A look at the .readme file
will show some significant additions since V2.0.
AmigaTalk V2.1 is a version of 'Little Smalltalk' (V1.0 by Tim Budd) that
has been re-written & enhanced for the Amiga line of computers.
James T. Steichen, Copyright (c) 1998-2002.
Be sure to have the sound turned on when you start the program!
(It's called AmigaTalk for a reason!)
WARNING:
~~~~~~~
There are some things that I can no longer test due to the fact
that my system has a CyberVision 64/3D graphics card & is using
the cybergraphics.library (et al). I would appreciate some
feedback about problems that you might find, since I will not
always be able to find them.
The system is currently NOT fully documented (especially IFF & BOOPSI
Classes), so expect to see some holes in the documentation.
I did NOT go back & verify that all the test files still work as
shown.
REQUIREMENTS:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
AmigaTalk uses DeckBrowser which is copyrighted (c) by InovaTronics.
I've included a copy of it with my distribution. It should be placed
in the command path where the Amiga OS can find it (example: 'C:')
68040 or better microprocessor. (68000 or 68020 available upon request).
20+ Mb of RAM (or you can edit the AmigaTalk:c/InitializeCommands
script & delete the instantiations for Intuition Tags,
DosSystem Tags & DataTypeSystem Tags & drop this
number down to 4 Mb of RAM).

Event: additional information about the Pegasos presentation at the "BeGeistert"
As reported already yesterday is
the "BeGeistert" taking place today and tomorrow in Düsseldorf. Following the
title link you'll find information regarding the exact place and a plan showing
the way there. The admission is 10 Euros.
From our yesterday's update you can see that the alternative computer system
Pegasos with MorphOS and the Walker will be shown by Nicholas Blachford,
Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak, too. Here are some more details:
Saturday, from 14:00 to 17:00 o'clock will the following four parts take place though not neccessarily in this order:
- MorphOS running on a Pegasos and the legendary 'Walker' shown by Nicholas
Blachford, Bertrand Presles and Sébastien Lokhamkhouak.
- Comparison "BeOS R5" / "Zeta" by Bernd Korz (yellowtab.com)
- "BeOS Developer Edition" by Frank Scholl (beosonline.com)
- OpenBEOS (OBOS): team leaders explain what this is, what they do, how far they have come for now...
- If need is given the MorphOS guys will do another presentation on Sunday morning.
As I have already mentioned in yesterday's message I'll visit the event this evening, too. If anyone has suggestions for questions he/she can place these in the comments.

Video converter update 2.2 beta
Carsten Siegner wrote:
Today I have finished a new beta of the program 'Video converter'. This version fixes a problem with Movieshop picture files. Until now ffmepg broke off when it met an unknown Jpg sub format (ffmpeg is very particular about Jpg sub formats). Now I have created a "work arround" by coding a dataype loader plugin for Video converter. This plugin can read all picture formats for which a datatype is installed, convert them to PPM and hand them over as a picture list to Video converter.
All you have to do is choosing a pictures directory in the lister as input, one for the output and then just pressing "convert".
Unfortunately it's only a beta version because it always crashes on my Amiga when using very big pictures lists and I could not fix the error entirely. This beta can be downloaded from my hompage.

Mailprogram: YAM beta version 2.4 (developer version from 18.10.2002)
There is a new developer version 2.4 of the mailprogram YAM which in the meantime has become Open Source. This is a version which is still in progress and which therefore possibly contains bugs. The developer team offers no support and gives no guarantee! Any requests done by email will also not be answered. You use it on your own risk!
The changes which were made you can read in this list.
You can get further information on the Yamos SourgeForge-site.

First we would like to apologize that Czech Amiga.News was unavailable
for 12 days. For technical reasons we have moved to a new address
amiga.czex.com.
Now we ask for your help!
If you find a link referring to the old address, please notify the
webmaster about the change.
To contact us, please write to newsy@czex.com
or exie@czex.com.
We made the best of the change and improved the html code, which should
result in faster display in Amiga browsers, especially on slower machines,
and light-speed downloading :-).
BTW main page of Czech Amiga.News finally validates as HTML 4.01 Transitional!
During the transition we have also fixed the
forms for submitting news, so don't be afraid
to use them. Finally we have also started updating our vast collection of
links. We will keep you informed about the progress. After arrival of the
new version of operating system AmigaOS 4.0 we are going to add new services
for our readers. Let us surprise you! Additional ideas and comments are
welcome!

Music/Sound Expert Sought for Crossfire II
Dreamworlds Development is looking urgently for a music/sound expert who can also
add music to animations, in order to prepare Crossfire II. The animations are in MPEG
format or if needed in single pictures on a CD. The result of adding the sound should
therefore be a timed sample in a common format
There is not going to be much monetary reward involved (because of the
overall market situation). The best case scenario would be approximately
100 Euros when the project is published. You can get further details by
expressing your interest in an email.

Magazine: AMIGAplus for October, 2002
The AMIGAplus for October 2002 with the title theme "Audio with PSA"
will be out in the middle of next week. For two reasons the release
date was postponed, and so a new appointment was made with the
publishing company.
Read about the following topics in the latest AMIGAplus:
Mega-Workshop ProStationAudio
"Audio with the Amiga rocks!" Take a calm walk with us in the world
of a professional Audio-Sequencer, ProStationAudio. Add chimes to
your life!
Thylacine - Tasmanian USB Controller
For many long years it wasn't possible to use a USB gizmo with
your Amiga. Now, within the space of a year come not one but
two new USB cards on the market. After we introduced E3B's
HIGHWAY in the May and July/August 2002 issues, and its little
sister SUBWAY for the clock port of the Amiga 1200 is still
awaited, we're making a little trip to Australia for you. That's
where the Zorro II card Thylacine has been available for a little
while.
Software Tycoon - Learn as the game progresses...
When the digital entertainment industry was still in the
shoes of a little child, the pioneers of game history could
give free rein to their innovative ideas.
After the version for the PC was released about a year ago, the
Amigans and Mac-heads [and MorphOSians -dm] can also dive
into the world of a Software Tycoon and virtually manage the
development of a game.
PC Competitor - Twice-Enjoyed Retro Game Fun
To throw away something valuable, to give something the old heave ho
without a good reason, now that's a pity. So how can the old competitions, zip sticks,
Pythons and Hyperstars be regenerated for employment in Amiga
emulators? The rescue comes from the joystick interface PC
Competitor!
And in addition to all that:
- Workshop PGP, Part 1
- FroggerNG 2 CD Tested
- A+ on Tour: photokina 2002
- What's New in Emulator Land
- How to Do Better on eBay, Part 2
- Floppy Classics on Hard-drive: WHDLoad
- Amiga-Status-Report 10/02: Voter Rights
- Demoscene: Summertime is... Partytime
- Show Report O.A.S.E. 2: News from Austria
- and a whole lot more
AMIGAplus is available by subscription, by single issue at
5 Euros per (inc. postage and handling) and in your local
Amiga shop.

Amiga Society: Website Renovation in Progress
Horst Diebel writes:
»So, the rebuilding of the page is beginning now. Because a few areas of the page
didn't get many visitors, and I unfortunately don't have time to spruce them up,
they will be shut down. This step is overdue, and many people have called for it.
The "Bücher" section will stay in place as the core. "Schlachtfeld" will get its own domain
sooner or later and be distanced from the society. The other headings, whether they are little
matters from Micha or me, will also be closed. Many people thought we should do this and
we announced it long ago.
The only update really is in the Little Book of Amiga Software - a few games will be found
here, which absolutely must be taken up again.»

Soms3D Seeks New Partners
Soms has been on ice for a long time because there was a lot of programming to do. This made us really think about things. We decided
not to make a 2D adventure, but rather a realtime 3D online role playing game.
To do this we already have a 3D programmer and our first internal beta version. The capabilities of Soms3D will be made public at a later
date (assuming our new webpage is online). The adventurers will reach, more or less, a common solution. And naturally all that one may
do online must also be doable in an online game.
To reach our goals we still need a bit of help. We are looking for:
- A musician who can deliver his music in MOD or MIDI form.
- A programmer who knows his way around Online-Programming.
- Because Soms3D is based on PPC it would be better when partners have a PPC, especially when programming.
- Applications or Inquiries go to Sylvio K..

Game 'Armada' released on Aminet
Armada is a round-based game for two to five players. It is a version of a game formerly played with paper and colored pencils. To start off each player places his sea port on the map. As the game progresses players select their ships and attack opposing ships. It depends on the distance and a roll of the dice if the opposing ships are sunk.
Armada-Homepage is here, and here is the Aminet download link: Armada.lha. The author would like to hear some feedback about the game and its homepage.
