As usual, all registered EZP@gerNG users will find an update archive in the download area, allowing them to update their registered software from version 2.2 to version 2.3.

At runtime, EZP@gerNG now creates the ezhttp.library V4.0, which, as a support library, provides several functions for easy HTTP communications.

The program can be downloaded from the homepage of the author. Furthermore you need the ixemul.library (at least version v48).

• New midi, Jay Miner, Monzoom, C++, games, history pages and many new international news sites added.
• Slight color scheme changes to allow less 'squinting' - I had it my way for 2 years, time for a change :).
• New samplitude opus archive/download mirror, thanks to the great guys at A.C.T.
• Site completely link checked and updated accordingly.
• 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.

• Modified the preparser routine slightly to attempt to handle the Ampersands better in URLs (and probably everywhere else as well)

• AmigAIM_BETA.lha - Vollständiges Archiv
• AmigAIM.lha - Nur Update des Programms und der Dokumentation
• AmigAIM.guide

• mame.zip (4,5 M) - it's a .lha file with a .zip extension
• neomame.zip (800K) - it's a .lha file with a .zip extension

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!

Breed96 belongs to the best shareware games which has been developed for the Amiga and it should be commercially distributed by Vulcan Software after the developer Damian Tarnawsky worked three months on the next part Breed2000. But Breed2000 was never published by Vulcan Software.

Breed96 is a space colonisation game with elements from Sim City, Reunion and Deuteros. You have to build up your colony and to produce ore, food and buildings. You have to manage famines, attacks of Aliens and similar problems as well as explore and populate planets or leading wars.

• Amiblitz 2.26 (compiler)
• PED 2.26 (editor)
• Amiblitz2.readme

For a problem-free work with Amiblitz 2.26 and PED 2.26 you should also install the disassembler.library which is part of the MMUlib-package (available on Aminet). But Amiblitz do work without this library. A requester will remind you to install it. ;-) Direct download link: MMULib.lha.

»The end of the idyll is near: Palm begins to fall from its comfortable market position, and the PDA dealers begin to move towards Pocket PC 2002, putting trust in the name of the desktop monopolist Microsoft. But Sharp is a manufacturer that has the power to establish Linux in the PDA market. "Zaurus" is the first strike, and Sharp has the tools to hype it, if there are no blemishes to be found on the lovely portrait.«

1. The webpages based distribution on CD-ROM about history, persons, models, clones, specials, peripherie, operating systems and support of the Amiga is now available in version V2.0.

   The massive growth in volume, especially caused by the update to ´Amiga Interactive Guide- 5th anniversary edition´ from Gareth Knight (13/03/2002), created the necessity for the transition to a double-CD. Belatedly: Congratulations Gareth!

   The PDF manual collection were taken out to the second CD. All news, updates, the release history and requirements are to find within the ReadMe. Price and shipment kept unchanged

2. THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES introduces its new homepage.

3. The home page has been extended with a further online service:
   Amiga-Ethernet with bridgeboard and an ISA network card. This tutorial detailly describes how ISA network cards can be used. Sure: Not trivial at all. These screenshots and background information, chapter by chapter, might also be suitable for "non freaks" to finish (hopefully) the installation of the hard- and software.

»AMIGA OS 4: FIRST PICTURES
After the anouncement of the new Amiga platform AmigaOne the company Hyperion, OS-development partner of Amiga Inc., has released first sreenshots of OS 4 now.

Those pictures should give a first impression for the new OS but do not represent the finished look.

It will soon be possible to also use more recent cameras with VHI Studio and benefit from all its advantages. In contrast to a USB-card reader VHI Studio communicates directly with the camera via the VHI driver. This opens up completly new possibilities to the user, making it possible to create timelapse-animations, use the digital camera as a webcam, make changes to internal settings via a comfortable user interface, correct pictures using its correction-tools or just creating a quick overview of the pictures in the camera.

Thendic is the company, that will distribute BPlan´s Pegasos board; further information you might find with our interview which is available in German and English.

Update:
Because the server of AFUA wasn´t capable of the run on it Bertrand Presles, the president, has permitted to set up a mirror for the relevant pages and to translate the report to German (which still has to be done).

Thendic-France Report
Author: Bertrand Presles

In the 23rd of April 2002 i go to Thendic-France where i could meet Bill Buck, the famous Coyote Flux guys and the others employees of this company. I've also seen the Pegasos working under MorphOS. You should note that the MorphOS version i have seen is a development version, that means that there is debug output every second that slow down the computer and so the performances i could see weren't as good as they should be with the final version of the Pegasos.

I could talk about lot of things with Bill and the Coyote Flux, i've particularly learn that the Eclipsis project will consist of a handheld computer which will use a PowerPC processor and run under MorphOS. It will have an amazing graphic chip which can be compared to something like the Copper but a lot better ;). It'll also feature AGA emulation and so will be able to run existing AGA Amiga softwares. The goal of this project is to offer an handheld computer which has capacities close to a desktop computer and allowing to use the same applications as you can run on the Pegasos. But don't expect to see an Eclipsis before 2003.

I've also have the luck to admire the other products distributed by Thendic-France like the ComCams which are wireless cameras (802.11b) very easy to install and use. I've also seen a Tri-Cam which is a black box which content three video cameras allowing to see the globality of a room. The big advantage is that this box don't look like a camera but more like an alarm and can easily not be noticed. This box is also wireless.

Finally, i've seen the CashBoys which are devices for credit card payment and also bar code readers.

Concerning the Pegasos, i could see the capacities of this marvelous computer thanks to some demos on CandyFactory Pro and Softcinema. And i've to admit that, despite the debugging outputs, it runs pretty well. You can see a video of Matrix (Divx) below but notice that the little stops every seconds are due to the debugging log that it sent to the serial port every second so the effective speed that we can expect in the final version of the Pegasos can be constated between this debug seconds ;)

Personally, i'll definitely buy a Pegasos when it'll be available ;)

The photo below show the front side of the Thendic's Pegasos. This is a well designed standard ATX tower.
