Statement from Hyperion: GREX and Warp3D performance problems
It has come to our attention that the GREX consumer-version suffers from serious
performance problems when used in conjunction with Warp3D and a Voodoo 3.
The same Voodoo 3 Warp3D driver-code runs substantially faster on the Prometheus
and the Mediator which is clearly a sub-optimal situation considering the much
higher bandwidth available on the Cyberstorm PPC/GREX 4000 combo.
We can only conclude that something in the consumer-version of the GREX is
interfering with the normal operation of the driver, be it the software, be it
the hardware itself or a combination of both.
It's equally unclear if the same problem arises also on the GREX-1200.
We want to take the opportunity to strenuously deny the rumour spread by certain
dealers that we are trying to extract an additional license-fee from DCE to
correct this problem.
Time permitting, we would be most happy to correct this problem although we fear
this may well prove impossible without the cooperation of DCE.
Thomas Frieden
Senior Developer, Hyperion Entertainment

VNC-client: MorphVNC V1.1 for MorphOS
Yesterday Mark Olsen has published version 1.1 of the VNC client 'MorphVNC' for MorphOS. The client supports encodings like raw, copyrect, RRE, CoRRE and now also ZLib.
VNC stands for 'Virtual Network Computing'. With VNC it is possible to control a computer over another computer with the help of the Internet by transfering the graphical interface from one computer to another one. This always works and does not depend on the used systems.

Mailchecker: YGM version 2.7
SFXSoft has published version 2.7 of YGM. YGM stands for 'You've Got Mail'. With YGM you can check an unlimited amount of POP3-mailboxes for existing e-mails without having to start the mostly prefered e-mail client which often takes much of the resources. YGM shows how many e-mails wait to be downloaded as well as their estimated size.
The most important new feature in this version is the added argument QUIT to finish a running YGM.

CCC: Rescue Your Personal Copies
Many CD companies now use copy-protection for PC CD-ROM drives. With this comes the fact that one can't make copies for her or his own legitimate purposes, for instance to listen to on a portable MP3 player. One can't copy a couple tracks on his or her own CD without problems.

AROS News
The development of AROS proceeds steadily. Again we have a few new things to report:
Thanks to Fabio Alemagna, the shell window which gets opened when you use "Execute Command" now stays open until you close it so you can actually use it.
Staf Verhaegen worked some more on RexxSysLib.library.
Georg Steger implemented PGA_NotifyBehaviour and PGA_RenderBehaviour in gadget.class. The behaviour of the propg.class can now be configured with this to behave like on the Amiga or in a "nice" way. The default (if you don't specify anything) is "nice". The GUI of Font prefs was improved. Many bugs in diskfont.library were fixed. There will soon be a program to convert TrueType fonts into Amiga/AROS bitmap fonts to use them with diskfont.library without having to convert them (ie. you can open these fonts in all sizes without having .font files for them on disk). A bug in ReadArgs() (the flags /K/A didn't work correctly) was fixed, too.
Matt Parsons updated the AROS User Guide. Some debug statements in the screen blanker were removed. Our LoadWB has now an About menu item which prominently shows the names of the AROS developers. Credit where credit is due :-)
Henning Kiel, Fabio Alemagna and Georg Steger ... helped ... Matt with LoadWB ;-) (Note: That's an internal joke and only for the records... ahem).
Did you notice? No Zune in the last post. Of course, Sebastian Bauer wasn't idling around. He just didn't commit :-)
Sebastian Heutling added a program to install GRUB with RDB support. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Tool: Pixload Version 1.70
I made a tiny program PIXLOAD 1.70 in RXMUI which looks like Amidock but
fully MUI compatible. User can configure all the interface.
DESCRIPTION:
This little "bar" allows to you load any program or script by one click
on icon. A bubble help tells you the name of loaded program. Two help
files (GUIDE and HTML) are available.
New:
Pixload can be moved anywhere easily, contextual menu added!
What about:
It is a window with buttons including pictures. Each click on button,
loads a command line which loads a program or script. It was made in
AREXX and RXMUI for graphic part. You can modifiy everything (colors,
aspect, etc.. from the Pixload contextual menu).

MRE-1.Mai-Edition: ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20
You had to wait a long time, but I hope you are content with the things I
have done meanwhile:
ClassAction 4.40 and StartMenu 1.20 are ready, with many of your proposals
implemented. Some changes: ClassAction has an improved way of copying,
classes for volumes and assigns, "Open with" and "Copy to" submenus, an own
file attribute window, and many little improvements like file comment
display and vertical arranged listers.
StartMenu has now lost the nerving bugs; it can control commodities, opens
on other screens and has an improved window button display.
All MRE modules only contain the English language. I will prepare the
translations, they will follow in the next weeks.

New benchmarks from "Project Petunia"
The author of "Project Petunia", the 68k JIT emulator for AmigaOS4, has released new benchmarks for this emulator (title link).
Ben Hermans of Hyperion commented those benchmarks within the comments of ANN as follows:
"At a 600 mhz G3 with on-die L2 cache and a 133 mhz FSB you might expect a much higher speed than with a 150-200 mhz 060. I would guess a 300 mhz as an absolute minimum. On current PPC cards the relevant benchmarks of petunia are slowed down by several facts:
- The 68k processor is stealing still some cycles simply because it's still "awake". Once it will be made completly slept this will result in a reasonable gain of performance.
- Dual processor architecture with context switches and cache flushes
- WarpOS is used and not Exec SG
All in all I guess that the emulator will reach the performance of a 060/50 as a minimum even on the slowest (160 mhz) BlizzardPPC cards.

Amiga Arena: Interview with Martin "Mason" Merz
Enthusiasts of the "Glowicons" and with that nearly every Amiga user, might use a toolbar with Martin "Mason" Merz's GlowIcon style for his programs.
Martin Merz has not only given a big contribution for an optical "face lifting" for many programs but that the overall impression also seems to be unified.
As martin Merz said within the Amiga Arena interview, enthusiasts of the "Mason" icons might look forward to some more highlights. The interview is available in German.

amiga-news.de: New partnership site - Amiga Arena
From today on the Amiga Arene has become a new partnership site with amiga-news.de
Responsible for that site is Olaf Köbnik who describes that site as follows:
Since 1998 it is Amiga Arena's task to support the Amiga shareware and freeware market. With many time limited offers for shareware some new impetus should be given initially and the trust between developers and users should have been improved.
Beside those special offers (which actually aren't enforced) Amiga Arena informs with many current interviews and tries to build "a bridge" between users and developers.
Furthermore Amiga Arena tries to facilitate the lifting of control mostly of "shareware" and offers along with games some high quality applications for free download. A selected link list perfects the services of that site. Plus that there are further activities like e. g. arrangements of developers, beta testers, support and sales of commercial software and some other.

On the homepage of BenderIRC there are new updates for BenderIRC and all the tools. The new

that shows fast and clear what makes BenderIRC such a unique software. Yes, I've put the

the plugins which are part of the package. It would be vital to take a look at the manual
to read about plugnins and security.
Who would like to do me a favour should tell me about bugs and not just chuck the program away
silently;certainly bugs will get fixed.

- Still looking for more mirror site and site archive opportunities - let us know if you want us to preserve/mirror your amiga site online, no charge.

Vintage Computer Festival Europe in Munich
As already reported will for the
third time the "Vintage Computer Festival Europe (VCF)" come to Munich on 27. and 28. April 2002.
Goal of the Vintage Computer Festival is to support the preservation and the maintenance of
'historical' computers and other (E)DV devices, to awake the interest in
'superfluous' hard- and software and especially to have fun in it. The VCF is in
the meantime not only a regular event in the Californian Silicon Valley but also
a fix point in the European appointment books.
So let us return to the good old days when hacker were no security consultants,
bytes no Megabytes and Kleine Grüne Männchen were just Kleine Gruene Maennchen!
Of course does our Amiga system have to appear here.
Among the registered exhibitions is
"The Amiga history - From the unfortunate games console to the multimedia
workstation" by Thorsten Kuphaldt. People living in and near Munich shouldn't miss
the event at all!

New LDDCheck in the works
Michael Dietrich:
Unfortunately is Heiko
Schröder, the author of LDDCheck, since August 2000 not active on the
Amiga anymore, "AmigaSystem.org doesn't exist anymore since last year!" he
wrote to me on 25. April 2002. As many Amiga users appreciate the service of the
possibility to check online whether existing libraries, datatypes and devices
were still up-to-date and, if needed, to download a current version I asked Heiko
whether I may continue the project.
He gave me the permission and is pleased that his two years of work on the
project weren't wasted. The following projects has he entrusted to me:
- LibGuide
- DTypeGuide
- DevGuide
He will even deliver all scripts for the Internet so that we do not have to
restart from scratch! As I can't realize the project on my own I'm looking
for people who would like to participate in the project. Interested ones should
send an email to Michael Dietrich
or contact me via ICQ: Wolverine (107370055). (Translation: wk)
