AMPlifier V2.32
AMPlifier is mainly a convenient player program for MP3 (MPEG) audio, but
it can also play a variety of 16 bit sound formats (AIFF, MAUD, WAV, RAW).

decoding through mpega.library. The visual appearance can be adapted by the

AMPlifier now has features requested by users:
- ReAction user interface
- works with packed skins (.wsz)
- ID3v2 tag support improved
- two new ARexx commands
- direct input of URLs for MP3 streaming
- saving of MP3 streams to harddisk

Programmer for unready MUI Gnutella client wanted
'Gnutella' is a free program which is preeminently suited to share and exchange any desired
files (mp3, exe, mpeg, txt, jpg, etc.) with other users.
Until a short while ago Jay Cornwall was developing a Gnutella client for the
Amiga, but now released the sources to Aminet due to lack of time. Maybe this is the
way to find a programmer interested to finish this project. More information can be
found under the title link.

Database: After a long time a new version of MUIbase published
After one year of a break of development there is a new version of MUIbase again
which is v1.6. MUIbase is a relationale database with several datatypes and trigger-functions.
The Amiga-magazine assesses MUIbase 1.2 on issue 11/99 with 87%.
The MUIbase-homepage has moved to http://www.muibase.de/
because amigaworld.com the provider till now do not work just fine. You can access the old site
over http://old.muibase.de/ but which will be not updated any
longer. Bit there you can still find old examples and some hints. On the new site download and
registration works as usually but if there should be displaying faults then please say it to me
because presently I have not an entirely working Amiga and I have no time for reinstalling.
Bugfixes, ARexx-support and transactions as you know of other databases have been added.

Hello,
because presently I have limited access to the Internet I am looking for an updater for my website
concerning the AmigaFFE-project who might take care of updating the website.
Mainly you might have to do copy/paste tasks and not to take care of the design of the site or project itself.
I would send you mails which contain the site and the according changes as long as I got a better access to the Internet.
If anyone would be interested in it then simply send me a mail.
In addition to it I am still always looking for some interested people for the port of the game
Elite-The New Kind. I have an unfinished version here which
we might have to get to an end. Thanks a lot!

Game: Tales of Tamar Amiga-Version V0.37R6
'Tales Of Tamar' is a round based internet game from Eternity Entertainment Software
available for all platforms.
With this version 0.37 R6 for Amiga you can see for the first time OnScreen
animations with full colour update. From now on one after another weapons and
buildings will be integrated into the following versions. Very pleasant from the
players. All animations are running even on a 68030 with AGA! Also on Amigas
with gfxboards now animations with changing colourpalette per frame are no problem.
A result of the extraordinary work of this Bindel :-).
The latest version of the Battle-Lost-Screen is added. It is another piece of fine
art from Dieter Zenteck.

Emulator: Jagulator is open Source
With the Jagulator it is possible to emulate the Atari jaguar (the first 64-bit game
console of the world). Now the Jagulator was released as open Source. Maybe somebody
has time and joy to port the Jagulator for the Amiga.

Eyetech Statement on AmigaOne/OS4
On the AmigaOne mailing list Alan Redhouse responds to requests regarding the AmigaOne / OS4.0 development
status and to reclamations regarding the long period of time without any new announcement.
>>The Eyetech timeline hasn't been updated for over a quarter (northern
hemisphere tm.) ;) and as I see it, we are, in a way, partners with
Eyetech and Amiga Inc. and so it would be courteous and helpful if they
could give us some kind of update on the situation. Delays if necessary
are fine (well, y'know what I mean) and I certainly don't want to add to
the pressures that Alan and Eyetech etc are already under, but I think it
would be reasonable to break the silence.
>Would giving you / anyone on this list / me more information affect how many
units they ship? Businesses aren't courteous because they're, well, because
they're businesses I guess.
It is about business, not about a lack of courteousness and, particularly,
the A1 project is not a reality TV show or soap opera.
This is a complex, specialist project that no large (sane?) company would
undertake for a small and diminishing market. The end result has to be
affordable, despite the small production runs so the whole development has
to be done under very tight cost control.
Of course in any complex project there are snags and solutions, holdups and
breakthroughs almost daily, many of which are outside our and our partners
control. However it is our collective jobs to sort them out professionally
and not to conduct our daily business lives as if we were on Big Brother,
Loft Story (or whatever its called in your country).
This is also made more difficult by us trying to be as open as possible
within the bounds of NDA's and the propensity of mailing lists to
rumourmonger. We have deliberately kept this list open, but the commercial
downside is that Bill Hoggett misses no opportunity to promote Amithlon and
knock the whole PPC concept, Paul Qureshi doesn't love Eyetech (for some
reason that I'm unclear about) and thinks Elbox's rumoured solution is best.
And we know Ralph Schmidt is in the list representing the interests of bplan
who are also intending to compete for the contents of Amigan's wallets. All
that means that we have to be even more aware of the misinterpretation of
any information that we put out.
Its also common and public knowledge (ie Bill said it in his St Louis
speech) that Amiga Inc are having difficulty raising their second round of
finance since the tech meltdown earlier this year. This has inevitably had
an effect on the level of resources that they have been able to put into the
A1/OS4.x project, and there has therefore had to be a reallocation of
financial and operational responsibilities within it across the other
partners. This all takes time (and money) to sort out and so, yes there have
been some delays. And it is obviously important to treat all the A1/OS4.0
work as a single project because it is clearly not feasible to sell the
hardware in advance of the OS being ready - all you get then is a very
expensive but not very functional paperweight.
However OS4.0 is now well under way and looks like it will make a November
release, but maybe not the 1st.
So why has there been silence?
- Everyone wants certainty in announcements, either to plan and be
reassured, or to snipe and start rumours. There is no point in making
announcements while negotiations are still proceeding and therefore some
aspects of the outcome are still uncertain.
- Amiga Inc has been on the verge (and still is) of obtaining a substantial
funding package for the past few months, which would clearly change the
resources available for the project substantially. We have all been hoping
to make a joint news announcement incorporating this and its effect on the
A1/OS4.x project.
- There are many individuals providing input to the project and they all
need to be consulted prior to making substantive announcements. In fact I'm
probably breaking my own code of conduct in this respect by posting this
note.
Ok thats not a lot, but its all this list is getting from me today. I hope
it helps.
Alan
PS Several people have commented that they think we have a monopoly
supply position with the A1 board. Well we do have the only PPC product that
will run OS4.0 (although we are pressing for OS4.0 to be released for the
Cyberstorm PPC as well), but that is because OS4.0 needs an existing Classic
Amiga chipset to run. In theory there would be nothing to stop someone (eg
bplan) designing a pci card with the classic chipset on and using it as the
basis of the classic compatibility on a CHRP-compatible board. But the
economics of doing this just don't add up, particularly when A1200's are
readily and cheaply available (the type - PAL or NTSC - doesn't matter) and
there would be a significant amount of additional work in porting/testing
OS4.0 to work on this new card. Given the small market size there is really
only scope for one A1-type product. If someone else had been mad enough to
decide to build one we would almost certainly have decided to drop out - so
there would still have been only a single product to choose from.

H&P answers questions about AmigaOS XL FAQ
As reported H&P made a German online FAQ about the
emulator AmigaOS XL available. After reading the FAQ I asked Jürgen Haage some questions concerning the point 30.
Following you will find the answers.
FAQ:
30. What about AmigaOS 4.0?
The development is managed by Amiga Inc.
Question to H&P:
AmigaOS 4.0 should be exhibited with the AmigaOne in November this year. Does the follwing sentence mean that H&P is not
currently working on AmigaOS 4.0 for AmigaOne?
Jürgen Haage:
As you may know the discussion started early this year. The first prototypes were planned for March. We planned the
development of our part of AmigaOS4 according to this date. The first presentation was expected for the St. Louis Show
in April...
But up until know we still have no hardware to develop for.
FAQ:
It is mainly a porting of AmigaOS 3.9 to PPC. Only some few new components are planned for this release. They are also
available for 68k and could be easyly used with Amithlon/AmigaXL. But this is a decision of Amiga Inc.
Question to H&P:
This means that it is only some political decision made by Amiga Inc. if OS4 will be available for Classic-Amigas?
Jürgen Haage:
There are some important assumptions to be able to make a political decision. I do not think that these assumptions are
available at the moment.

Aminet: Initial beta version of the new amiNET.GUI
Alexander Kurtz wrote:
The amiNET.GUI is being reworked completely to be changed from a
static HTML site to a dynamic PHP script.
This will bring much advantages to the users.
Now I'm able to offer the dowload pages in several languages and can even add
more languages without any problem.
Moreover an automatic debriefing of the MOD (Message Of the Day) is
possible. So the user immediately will be informed about trojans or viruses,
if appear in the Aminet.
Before long it also will be possible to automatically let create a message on
the news page, if you upload using amiNET.GUI
Soon I will be able to offer an operative version of AULA.
An initial beta version of the new amiNET.GUI is online. This is far from
containing all of the functions, but already views the direction the
amiNET.GUI is going.
My ambition is to get the amiNET.GUI off beta status until the
Amiga meeting on 17. November 2001 in Bremen, Germany.
I would be very happy to learn about your opinion and/or suggestions,
cause the amiNET.GUI wasn't made for me only, but for you.

Genealogy program for Amiga in the works
Sven Dröge is working on a genealogy program for the Amiga.
The idea for this program came him when Sven looked at his father-in-law who
was doing some investigation about his family. That man entered personal data
into some software on the PC. The PC software owns an export function into the
GEDCOM format, the default data exchange format for family tree data. Sven
Dröge asked his father-in-law to open such a file for him, and he got
information about this format from the Internet.
As further investigation showed that such software doesn't exist for the Amiga,
the decision was made to program a genealogy program himself.
´Dynasty´ was born and the plan is to make Dynasty that
genealogy program for the AMIGA. You can read about already realized resp.
planned features under the title link. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Scanner calibration software ICS for AmigaOS 4?
Volker Grabbe has asked Wolf Faust, the programmer of the scanner calibration
software ICS, about the future development of this software.
With permission by Wolf Faust we release the questions and answers:
Volker Grabbe:
Good day, Mr. Faust, as I use on my A4K Scanquix 5, I'd like to ask you a
question. What about coming support of the AmigaOS 4.x from your side? May Amiga
Inc. possibly have approached you because of your product to be integrated into
the OS?
Wolf Faust:
No. AmigaOS 4 is at least for me rather far away. Neither was I asked about it.
And even if so, right now there's simply a lack of time for something like this.
And even if there would be time there had to be something happening financially
to view OS 4 as development platform. In the end the investments into OS 4
have to pay back sometime. Many of the developments here in the last time are
extremly expensive and would almost be not financeable even in the best of Amiga
times.
Volker Grabbe:
I didn't want to embarrass you with my questions yet I am curious about the
future.
Wolf Faust:
Quite clear: there'll be only developments that aren't Amiga specific. But Amiga
users make profit of the expensive developments for PC/Mac. It would be
inconceivable for example to realize the coming offer for transparency units only
for Amiga users. The investments alone for the machine/working time are
running into the hundreds of thousands.
But when I look at the little number of accesses by Amiga users to my website etc. I'm beginning to doubt that even this makes still sense in the long
run.

Discussion about deleting of news:de.comp.sys.amiga.archive
On news:de.admin.news.groups they are discussing at the moment the deleting of
the newsgroup de.comp.sys.amiga.archive.
The newsgroup was used for releasing announcements and archive lists of
mailboxes and FTP sites, but is for some time now only used for daily upload
statistics of the Aminet. The proponent of the process (Simon Paqet) is thinking
that this can't be the meaning of a newsgroup that is distributed worldwide via
many news servers.

Event: pictures of and report about the Amclust meeting
Michael 'MCP' Göken wrote:
The second Amclust meeting 2001 was again a full success.
The Amclust and the AC Osnabrück met last weekend.
On this occasion were many interesting views exchanged regarding the present situation of
the Amiga market and its loyal users.
As highlight Thomas Dellert presented his PCI-Board 'GREX'.
All were very impressed by the new hardware, only the price is set a little bit
too high in many users' opinion.
In addition has our Guido Mersmann introduced his keyboard adapter which
offers really many features, for example hardware password protection,
multimedia keys, computer on/off, etc..
For this exists a superb software that is also already available on Aminet. On
interest email to Geit@gmx.de.
Apart from that people had been working for three days with the Amigas.
We've taken some snapshots of this event (see title link).

Digital Almanac III - news
Good news for all users of and people interested in Digital Almanac III. After
the sales of the astronomy software had to be stopped because of defective
hardware it can go on again. There's hardware again, so the development and the sales of the CD-ROMs can restart.

Reading, England, September 27, 2001 -- Tao Group today announces it has acquired additional intellectual property software rights from ASCII Corporation in Japan to further strengthen its 'intent JavaTM Technology Edition' software suite.
The Tao Java product, compliant with industry standards and Sun Microsystems-branded, has been developed over five years and is already being installed into an array of products including digital cameras, phones, pda's, digital televisions, set top boxes, personal computers and web tablets. The various specifications supported by the intent JTE are compact and robust, and run real world content many times faster than any alternative.
Dr. Paddy Byers, Chief Technology Officer of Tao said: "Emphasis on the development of Tao's product has always been on enabling Java technology-based services that the operators and manufacturers must be able to deliver to the consumer to support their economic models. The agreement with ASCII makes our story stronger than ever."
Francis Charig, Tao's Chairman, commented: "This is an excellent acquisition for Tao as we consolidate the technology on the intent media stack for both wireless and wired devices. Our Java product is part of a comprehensive multimedia, language independent solution which is uniquely helping companies take compelling and differentiated products to market both quickly and at low cost."
