Amiga2001
As formerly reported several times, the Gateway Computer Show 'Amiga2001' will take place in St. Louis from
03-30-2001 to 04-01-2001. Petro Tyschtschenko will attend a celebration on the occasion of his
retirement at the show .
The original message:
»Petro Tyschtschenko is hosting a celebration at the
Amiga2001 show. That's right, Petro has been kind
enough to provide funding for a little celebration
of his retirements. Check out the web pages for this
special announcement.
Don't forget, we have a ROAST of Petro lined up for
the Banquet. The deadline for advance ticket purchase
and the Banquet have been extended to Monday March 26.
Banquet tickets are only available in advance this
year. So get you check in pronto. Tickets are selling
very well.
The Amiga2001 web pages have been updated several times
since my last email. If you haven't checked them for
venors and prizes lately, you should look again. We'll
have more next week too. So check often.
Several companies have been kind enough to donate prizes
for our show. Also, the hall is filling up quite nicely,
so check and see if you've missed any of the vendors.«

Which one looks best? Amiga-Boing-Ball or Check-Marks?
Dirk Hase takes interest in the opinion of
Amiga-Users. "I have already heard many said that they prefer the Check-Marks over the
Boing-Ball. One criterion is the recognition value of the logos. The Check-Marks overrules
the Boing-Ball at this in my experience. Has the time come to start a poll about his? Or
maybe a graphics contest about this subject? I think that Amiga Inc. should also be informed
about this since we can count on a new product, soon."
We can fulfill Dirk's wish about the poll. You can participate by following the
title link.

Version 2 of the Universal Filter for PageStream
The 'universal' filter allows loading of many additional graphic formats
within the PageStream v3.x/v4.x DTP program. Furthermore the loading of already
supported graphic formats was considerably accelerated in parts.
Version 2 of the filter is finally released for free on
http://www.uni.coloraid.de. Similar to
ICS the filter is now using the IRW library for
image loading.
The innovations in version 2 are:
- Now supports <8Bit and CMYK modes in PageStream
- Faster
- Almost no memory usage when no image is loaded
- Loading of 16 bit (converted to 8 bit) and CMYK data is now possible
- Improved PGM/PBM/PPM/JPEG/BMP/TIFF routines
- Considerably improved error handling thanks to IRW
- Locale support
- Compiled for different cpus
- MANY small improvements
The supported formats for now are:
BMP, DataTypes, DCX, IFF ILBM, JPEG, PCX, GIF, PGM/PBM/PPM,
PNG, Targa, TIFF

Heise: Slashdot have to Delete Article about Scientology
On last Friday the news and discussion forum
Slashdot announced a premiere the operators
might rather not wanted to experience: for the first time the internet
service - founded in 1997 they have become one of the most important
speaking tubes for the open source scene - had to remove an already published
article.
In a message
regarding the incident Rob Malda,
founder of
Slashdot and on the net also known as CmdrTaco,
stated that on Saturday last week an anonymous reader had contributed an article containing
a text Scientology keeps copyright for.
Scientology lay claim on being a church which the US revenue authorities admited.

Espial Escape - Slim Webbrowser for AmigaDE
"Escape is a HTML4.01 webbrowser which just happens to work on AmigaDE
thanks to its Java support. Escape is not only small, but fast and loaded
with features including HTML4.01, DHTML and more."
On amiga.org
you can read about it:
I noticed that the easiest way to install Espials Escape on the AmigaSDK was to simply
unzip the *.jar files to the root. Sadly there was no archive on Espials homepage that
made it easy for me to get them. So I mailed them about the problem. Now they have
added an archive of Escape with the Jar files on their homepage.
Further links on Espial Escape:

Payback Update
The first update for Payback
is available. Several reported bugs were fixed and a screen scaling feature was added
for slower processors. Also, new graphics were integrated.
There's also an update of the demo version,
which raises the time limit of three to five minutes.
On the Payback website, an FAQ about
Payback was opened which answers frequently asked questions. The game can be ordered directly in the
online store.
In an interview with the Amiga-Future, programmer James Daniels describes Payback as follows:
"The player assumes the role of a young, fleeing driver and attempts to become a big
gangster boss. The game is entirely non-linear. To complete a level, the player has to
collect a certain amount of points. How he achieves that is entirely up to him. You can
follow the advice of the local Kingpin, uncover secret missions, or get into a fight."

New Screenshots of the Real-time RPG "Between the Lines"
Because of a harddisk crash, we have lost all source codes of our games
"Crossfire II" and "Between the Lines". At least Crossfire II could partly
be recovered, but it'll take several months to fully restore it.
As a compensation and the long time during which nothing happened on our
homepage, there are a few new screenshots of the real time RPG BtL.

Amster
|
Amster News
Amster is a program for downloading of authorized MP3 music files from
Napster. One also can let the program
(client) search for music files made available by other participants or can
chat with other participants.
Yesterday the Amster source code was put on
SourceForge.
Interested developers can participate in further development under
'CVS access' (explanation in addition).
Since it wasn't clear to me what CVS access means I asked about this on
our internal mailing list. Ruediger Hanke
took the task to give an extended
explanation. Because I can imagine our readers to be interested in this, too,
I post his answer here:
What is CVS access?
CVS = Concurrent Versions System, a program for source code management.
Among other things the program saves old versions of the source code, so
one can trace changes from one version to another. Furthermore it coordinates
changes in source codes if several developers are working on one single
program. Else there would happen situations like follows:
- developer A loads source ab.c
- developer B loads source ab.c
- developer A saves source code ab.c including changes done by him
- developer B saves source code ab.c including changes done by him
and by doing so overwrites the changes of developer A.
CVS cares for changes not to be accidently overwritten by somebody and
in the case of need announces conflicts caused by changes. Thus it is
essential if several developers are working on one single program.
Amster seems to be under CVS control. "CVS access" in this case means
that people wanting to participate in programming Amster can get
access to the CVS server managing the program's source codes.

Plextor Stops SCSI
Plextor Europe will stop production and distribution
of SCSI CDRom drives this very year. As reason for this
the company named regressive sales figures as well as
problems in providing components. In the long term this
would also affect the American and Japanese market. One
would want to address the DVD market segement with
devices with USB and Firewire interfaces in the future.

Amiga Arena News
Preface
Since I cannot affect as much as I would like to on my own I decided to
take a chance for a partnership with the Fun Time World!
The Amiga Arena homepage will remain what it is, now, and I hope to be able
to act even more effective in this partnership than before !
Olaf Koebnik - Amiga Arena
Amiga Arena - Fun Time World Partnership
The shareware market suffered from evaluations of the past years. The amount of
new releases decreased very much every year. To stop this evaluation the pages
Fun Time World and Amiga Arena agree to a partnership to patronize the
shareware market. This partnership's objective is to call user's attention
to developments at the shareware market.
This is to serve the purpose of higher sales and to motivate developers to continue to develop
new and better programs, at the same time. In the future by a closer cooperation
with the developers user's wishes shall be taken into account more than this has been
done before. In further steps registration of programs from foreign countries shall
be facilitated.
It will be determined from surveys which kind of software is in demand most.
Special wishes from now on can be sent to the Fun Time World and to the Amiga Arena.
Programmers who would agree to offer their programs at a more cost-effective price for a certain
period of time, can contact the Amiga Arena at any time.
Amiga Arena
The Amiga Arena is a shareware / freeware support site with special prices for
shareware software, links, interviews, and full versions of shareware software
which will not be further developed.
Fun Time World
The Fun Time World page provides the Amiga users with topical news, test of
software and hardware, as well as important information since several years.
Meantime the service has been extended by adding an online shop as well as
auction and forum sections.
