GeoWorld®: DeveloperTool finished
The GeoWorld-DeveloperTool is finished and is available in a first public version 1.6 for download. With the GeoWorld DeveloperTool you are able to update and extend existing informations of countries, cities, and international organizations.
Because all text informations about countries, cities and organizations are saved with special index numbers as filename it was nearly impossible for the user (without knowledge of the program interna) to change/extend the informations by himself.
This tool makes it now possible to edit the files via mouseclick or keyboard.

DTP: PageStream Version 4.1.3
On monday 12 Feb the release of a new PageStream version was released.
I've just uploaded the second Amiga release, and the first platform release
for 4.1.3. Some minor 4.1 problems may crop up, but I expect this to be a
pretty solid release.
4.1.3 for the other 2 platforms will occur over the next few days, bringing
everyone up to speed.
Thanks for your support! Enjoy!

Thomas Frieden: More Infos about OS4
Thomas Frieden about the status of OS4:
The informations stated in an earlier update are still valid. No big breakthroughs in the last week (but none are planned, though ;) ).
The Exec Kernel is running in a Simulator (parallel to the normal system). In this time it is ported to the hardware platform.
The rest of the components is in different states of finishing. Some are finished but are waiting for the final converting onto the new kernel (this means just only a recompilation of it).
This is a hint for those who want to start with developing for OS4: Develop for 68k. The sources will be fixed with minor changes to OS4 (it means only one or two lines are added to the sourcecode). You can use the normal Exec API. We will release a beta version for developers that will document the new functions (about 20). It should be a change to PPC at least.
About the computers OS4 will be running on: OS4 needs the Amiga chipsets. Maybe we can change this until release, but that is improbable because some dependencies are placed where you never expect them (e.g. devices). Supported computers are all with Amiga chipsets like CyberstormPPC, AmigaOne, and (maybe) BlizzardPPC (I'm sorry but not all problems with the Blizzard are solved).

infoSync: Amiga gets into Linux PDAs
Under the title "Amiga gets into Linux PDAs" and the highlighted heading
"When Sharp's Linux-based Zaurus PDA hits the U.S. and Europe,
software developed by old-timer Amiga will provide that old black magic."
some positive news
about AmigaDE on the Zaurus of Sharp was published on the infoSync website.
The announcement briefly describes the value of Amiga during the 80s and
90s and the capabilities of AmigaDE and Zaurus. However, no distinction
was made between AmigaDE and Zaurus.

AmigaDE: games and jobs from Kaliko
Kaliko, the makers of 'Last in Line', a puzzle/board game, which came fourth
in the Top Ten AmigaDE Games of 2001, have now announced their line-up of
AmigaDE games for 2002:
- BrainTeaser (March/April)
- Kaliko Minigolf (March/April)
- Pirate's Puzzle (April/June)
"BrainTeaser: the furry edition" is being developed in cooperation with
Quality Team, the makers of
the action adventure 'Sixth Sense Investigations'.
BrainTeaser is a game similar to Tetris in which you have to link three or
more blocks with the same picture so that they will disappear and there
is space for new ones.
The blocks appear from the bottom and you have to move them like a shuffle
game in order to link the same blocks with each other. This makes the
game harder and more different from other games which are similar to Tetris.
Kaliko would like to release further games this year and for this they
need help. They are currently seeking a number of talented individuals
such as Amiga-programmers who have good knowledge of VP assembler,
C or C++ as well as Amiga-programmers (680x0/PPC) who have sound knowledge
of assembler, C or C++. They are also looking for creative game designers
and talented 2D artists. If you want to contact them, just send an e-mail
to info@kaliko.net.

New Angband ports for Amiga
Hi There...
I've finally got around to finishing off all of my Amiga compiles,
and they've all been uploaded. Details below.
News first!
68000 Support
I've decided to drop 68000 support - I'm going by the assumption that
if a user has enough memory to play some of these variants, then they
will have a better processor than the bog standard one. All variants
will now be targetted for the 68020. Demands from some of the
Zangband-based variants are increasing, and with the addition of Lua
into Angband and Zangband, and inveitably into their offspring, then a
basic unexpanded 68000 system just wouldn't be able to cope.
It's been a while since I've had any feedback from a 68000 user - if
what I'm doing is such a bad move, please do not hesitate to contact
me, and I can put together 68000-targetted executables.
New code
Well, not exactly new code, but all of the variants now use the same
Amiga-specific code. Previously, Zangband and it's variants used the
most up-to-date code, and Angband was still stuck with some old code
that was several years old. Not any more - Angband now benefits from
the new code too. I've altered some bits and pieces, but you probably
won't notice much of a difference. The main difference is that
Angband graphics now work the way they should do, along with masking.
Also, if you use the Adam Bolt tiles, these will now work with all
versions, not just the Zangband-based ones.
Lua
The Lua-based variants all compile and run successfully for the Amiga.
I have compiled all of the Angband alpha releases (2.9.4, 2.9.5,
2.9.6, 2.9.6.alpha2 and 2.9.6alpha3) and all of the Zangband
dev releases (2.7.0 Pre-release 1, 2.7.0 Pre-release 2, 2.7.0
Pre-release 3 and 2.7.0 final). If you're eager to take a look, the
Zangband dev releases are available below, along with the versions
with Shayne Steele's option and branding patches. Angband alphas
remain unreleased.
Uploads
These have no long been done, so you'll have to wait for Robert to
move them all to their respective locations.
Conglomoband 0.0.1 -
conglomoband-001-ami.lha (1437K)
CyAngband 0.3.2 -
cyangband-032-ami.lha (506K)
D11-Angband 1.1.0 -
d11angband-110-ami.lha (580K)
EyAngband 0.4.0d -
eyangband-040d-ami.lha (658K)
Gumband 2.2.0a -
gumband-220a-ami.lha (784K)
Hengband 1.0.9r1
There's a little bit of a problem on the graphics for this variant -
light doesn't seem to bahave the way you'd expect it to. You won't see
the yellow glow around the player, and floors won't light up as you'd
expect. Apart from this, it's OK. All lighting behaves properly in
ASCII mode.
hengband-109r1-ami.lha (1414K)
NTAngband 0.2 -
ntangband-02-ami.lha (1286K)
PernAngband 5.1.1 -
pernangband-511-ami.lha (1612K)
UnAngband 0.4.8g -
unangband-048g-ami.lha (830K)
Zangband 2.6.2 & Option Patch 1.6 & Branding Patch 1.3
Shayne Steele's patches have been included here - for further details
of the patches, check out his site.
zangband-262o16b13-ami.lha (961K)
Zangband 2.7.0 Dev Release
Chance to check out the current stable dev release with Lua scripting.
zangband-270-ami.lha (1184K)

Textviewer: EvenMore - new plugin
I have created a new Generic plugin. If all the plugins fail to
recognise a binary file, this plugin will open the file and strip all
lines ending with CR or LF.
This is a 'last resort' plugin, there will be files it will not work on
due to formatting differences, but it can be used for files for some
files which no plugins exist yet (I tested it on an Outlook 2000 email,
worked with no glitches, works with a few glitches on some Mac text
files).

The latest version finally enables players to annex enemy towns, thus
exterminating enemy players. It also allows them to maintain several
towns in a country.
The only things missing until the release the Amiga base set are towns
for level two, three and four, cavalry, artillery, settlers and a few
other bits. The light at the end of the tunnel is near :-)

e.p.i.c. interactive: THE FEEBLE FILES Amiga-Version in production
THE FEEBLE FILES has now been completed for the Amiga and sent off to go
into production. The finished game should be sent out to all those who have
preordered the game within the next 10-12 days. THE FEEBLE FILES is a
cartoon adventure from the makers of the famous Simon The Sorcerer series.
You are Feeble or rather you're a down trodden Grenelon who just happens to
be called Feeble...
Rendered animation, stereo sound and a plot of epic proportions take this
adventure into a different galaxy. Witty and humerous but with dark
undertones. THE FEEBLE FILES contains acts of betrayal, intrigue, revolution
and even a bit of cross dressing. Add to that around 80 locations to visit,
six thousand voice lines to interact with, there should be plenty to keep
everyone happy without the aid of chemical supplements.
THE FEEBLE FILES for the Amiga comes on 2 CDs and contains both full english
and german speech versions. The Amiga version requires either an Amiga with
68060, 4 MByte Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM or an Amiga with PPC, 4 MByte
Gfxboard and 32 MByte RAM.
You can find more information on THE FEEBLE FILES in the projects section
under the title link.

ScummVM Version 0.1.0 for MorphOS released
Rüdiger Hanke released his new version of the ScummVM-MorphOS. He wrote, that
this new version would fix many bugs from v0.0.3.
The MorphOS version got some display code now and became independent of SDL.
This reduces the program in size and switching from full screen to window mode
now works clean. Other enhancements are being worked on.

CD32-Emulator for Windows: Akiko v1.2
Finally the time has come! A new version of Akiko, CD32 and CDTV
emulator for Microsoft(r) Windows(r), can be downloaded from the
Airsoft Softwair homepage (http://www.airsoftsoftwair.com/)
Version 1.2 is a major update which is about 20% faster and
supports emulation of the CD32's nonvolatile memory including a
cool nv ram editor which supports importing, exporting, locking
& patching of save states.
Example of patching a save game is included
in the documentation. Additionally Akiko has now a real Joypad emulation
which means that the user can map every key / joystick button to
the CD32's joypad buttons. Akiko also supports the emulation of the
language identifier of the CD32 and CDTV now so some games appear
now automatically in the language you configured in the Akiko settings.
Finally there were some bug fixes and improvements in the single
patches as well as an extended documentation.
If you still haven't
registered Akiko (only $15US/15 EUR) you should have a look at
Defender Of The Crown 2 CDTV which can now also be played with the
Akiko demo version. But don't forget to set your native language
to the CDTV's language in the Akiko settings so that the game appears
in it. By the way, Akiko does not require the extended ROMs of the
CD32 & CDTV. Kickstart 3.1 and 1.3 are enough. Registered users
please send an email to akiko@airsoftsoftwair.de with "subscribe"
subject and you'll get the latest version (you'll only have to
subscribe once, then you'll always get the latest version of Akiko)
If you haven't registered yet, you should definitely get the demo
version of Akiko! (ps)

PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX sells Amiga Sources
Due to a lack of time, motivation and general interest,
PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX is looking for licensees that
are willing to obtain the source code for the well-known
ak Datatypes (other products on request) under exclusive
or non-exclusive license on as-is basis.
The license will not include the keyfile-code (removal)
and it won't include the right to sell a product under
the same name. So the licensee will be able to work out
new products based on the sources, without any further
relations or obligations. Basic help for getting started
with the sources and concepts will be provided.
We're awaiting your offers.
OpenSource projects may obtain FREE licences under
certain circumstances. Please contact us.
This offer is limited until 31.03.2001.
In the meantime, our website will be reworked.
The Amiga section was removed.

#AmigaFun: chat with Hyperion on 18.02.2002
On Monday, 18. February 2002, beginning at 19.00 h will Steffen Häuser,
Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden from
Hyperion answer to questions
on the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. All three are programmers at Hyperion and
deal with AmigaOS 4 and with games ports, like for example Quake 2. The chat
with Hyperion is organised in co-operation with the Amiga Future.
How to access the IRC channel #AmigaFun:
IRC server (enter WITHOUT "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC port: 6667
IRC channel: #amigafun
Should the server fail you can access the channel via this server:
amigafun.ma.cx (please enter again without "irc.").
Further information especially for IRC beginners can be found on the #AmigaFun homepage.
HINT:
The chat can be accessed via HTML chat from the #AmigaFun homepage, Amiga Future
homepage and from the amiga-news.de forum. As we can't guarantee an error free
functioning of the HTML chat and programs like AMIRC or BlackIRC are anyway
nicer to use we recommend to use an IRC client in any way.
Possible languages are German and English. The logfiles of the chat will be
later released on the homepages of the Amiga Future and the #AmigaFun in German and
in English.
Stefan Martens: "I'd like this time to point to the fact that nobody else may
release the logfiles of the chat this time." (ps) (Translation: wk)
