New Products for ImageFX by LegacyMaker Inc.
Legacy Maker, Inc. released a tutorial-video named
Catalyzer Vol. 3 for ImageFX version 4.0.
The video deals with layers, scaning, printing, animation and FXForge.
Version 2 of the Motion Control Plugin PanCanvas,

"PanCanvas 2 lets you take a large image in ImageFX and move a virtual
camera over it. You end up with an astonishingly smooth documentary-style
animation.
You can output frames, anims, FlyerClips, and even Jstreams for the
Broadcaster Elite. The virtual camera can zoom in and out, accelerate
and decelerate, and move along a spline curve. You can add motion blur,
render fields for video, and run macros on each frame before saving in
a variety of formats."
Legacy Maker, Inc. will exhibit at the Gateway Computer Show in St. Louis.

there are no new features or bugfixes.

New Version of HTMLread
A new version of HTMLread (v1.1) can be downloaded from the support page.
HTMLread is an extension for YAM. YAM is a wonderful mailer, but not
capable of displaying e-mails written in HTML code as like as sent by
Netscape, Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails
to a HTML viewer.
Some changes were made in the new version:
- HTML parser rewritten (faster, more compatible, , full «base» tag support),
- Problems with blank characters in the name fixed.
- New GIF for condition.
- Better error handling.
- HTMLreadPrefs rewritten (now with MUI GUI)

AMIGA Inc.: New PDA Projects
As already reported on
amiga-news.de, Amiga Inc. is organizing a project for programming software for PDAs.
People who want to take part in this project as programmers may announce
himself/herself via this
page.
Amiga already has contact with companies who like to use the AmigaDE software on
their appliances. In this context Gary Peake, director for development
and support at Amiga Inc., wrote the following on AMIOPEN mailing list:
We have spent considerable time talking with a company who likes what they
see of the Amiga content thus far. They will not be announced until St
Louis, but we all know that development needs lead time.
This company has some PDA models coming out real soon now and we have sold
them on letting Amiga developers produce their content.
This content will be sold via a web portal and all certification and
runnability testing will happen here at Amiga Inc for logistic reasons.
Specs are as follows for two separate units:
Screen Size: 240x320, 65k color3.5" reflective-TFT
Screen Size: 176x220, 65kcolor, 3" reflective-TFT
Both units will be able to handle up to 500k games and applications. Due to
CPU speed limitations, code must be tight and efficient as always. This
customer prefers VP coding, but won't pass on C, C++, or Java apps.
Examples of content needed:
Hoyle type card games
Chess
Checkers
Armageddon
PokeYman derivatives
No X rated content!
I am sure they would welcome any freeware content, but they are mainly
looking for commercial quality content. Details on how the system will work
will be released shortly to those who respond to this email.
If you are seriously interested in producing PDA content please send me an
email to gary@amiga.com.
You MUST be under NDA AND be a registered Amiga developer before I can
release any further information to you so make sure you have a valid NDA on
file.
If you have not yet registered and you have a copy of our SDK, please go to
www.amigadev.net and register as a
developer.
If you do not have a valid NDA with us, simply look at
www.amigadev.net under the "legal"
menu, grab a copy of the NDA and get it mailed back or faxed back ASAP.
Address and fax number is on the NDA.
Only serious need respond as we will be on a tight schedule to meet the
first delivery date.
This may be cross posted to Amiga news web sites and other lists.

developers easy access to the basic functions necessary for games
developement for PDAs.
The release of Ast and gm is still long in coming. But for the meantime there's a
picture of an Ast beta
version. This imgae was taken before the final graphics set was added.

Wordworth Developments
Unfortunately development of Wordworth for the AMIGA has ceased several
time ago. The last version 7 indeed contains many features, but also lacks of things
like for example a JPEG filter. So you have to convert the wanted JPEG graphic
for now into IFF or another format Wordworth supports using a separate program.
Another thing completely missing is PPC (WOS) support.
I'd like to call programmers among other things working with Wordworth to
program the missing things (I'm mainly about the JPEG filter). Provided that I'd
have the needed development tools, compilers etc., and a supporting (teaching!)
programmer, I'd do it myself.

AKIconzGold Update
5 days after the latest update there's again one due.:
On my homepage can be found the third (and probably the last) "homepage only"
preview of the AKIconzGold.
There are almost 40 new icons. Additionally the ReadMe was extended by an
important part regarding the installation in which the setting of the correct
color palette is described that is necessary to display the icons as wanted.
The setting of this color palette gives some more advantages: All
icons, no matter whether MagicWB (8 colors), RomIcons (16 colors, often to be
found with the installers of WHDLoad and jst) or just the AKIconzGold (and also
the similar BNSMWBicons) have always the right colors with this setting. And
NewIcons, too, manage with this palette, and even GlowIcons do look relatively
appealing on a 32 colors screen!
People who don't want to restrict themselves to one "kind" of icons but want to
have the correct color settings for almost all icons should set this palette!
Besides, all sites of the homepage were recreated. Although less the design but
especially the colors were chosen completely new. This looks, in my opinion,
much better (and is much better matching the homepage title ;-)).

NetBSD/Amiga IOblix - Driver Change
The NetBSD/Amiga - IOBlix-Zbus driver was changed in a way that the quartz
frequency is changeable via the kernel variable _iobzclock (with binpatch
and reboot) or via the kernel option IOBZCLOCK.
Newer IOBlix cards use a 22.1184MHz quartz that allows more standard baud rates,
older ones on the other hand use a 24MHz quartz. Owners of a 24MHz quartz need to
set _iobzclock or IOBZCLOCK to 24000000.
Besides this, iobl* at zbus? is now included in the GENERIC configuration.
NetBSD-current testers are asked for review reports, also about the parallel
interface. Details about the availability of source code etc. can be found at:

PC MP3-Player 'Sonique' Planned for AmigaDE
Sonique is an audio player often used on PCs.
According to the current Sonique newsletter
it is planned to port version 2 - which is under development at the time being - to as much
platforms as possible. The interesting thing in this is the AmigaDE being mentioned, too. Further
details can be taken form the Sonique 2 FAQ.
This is from the Sonique newsletter, (sonique as you may
know is a rather good MP3-player on the PC)
SONIQUE NEWSLETTER - VOL 2. ISSUE 4. - MARCH, 2001
INTRODUCTION
As promised, this issue is a special update on the
current state of Sonique 2. Things are progressing
very well and we're wetting ourselves several times
a day from sheer excitement. We have to keep the
entire office covered in plastic. We've got webvan
delivering rubber pants and huggies directly to our
workstations. Yup, Sonique 2 is really that cool.
(stuff about sonique 2 deleted)
SONIQUE 2 PRIMER
You are probably wondering just what this Sonique 2
thing is really all about. How is it different than
Sonique 1? Why should you even care? Well, first
off, let's talk about the number 2. The "2" in
Sonique 2 is really less about Sonique VERSION 2.0
and more about Sonique 2, THE SEQUEL. Sonique 2 is
not just another upgrade of the same old tired software.
No No NO! Sonique 2 is completely different. Sonique 2
has been in development for over 2 years and shares almost
no code with Sonique 1. It is based on entirely new
ultra-swoobtastic(tm) technology. Audio system,
GUI engine, Skinning system, plugin architecture,
visual system, all sparkling new! Even has that great
"new software" smell.
SONIQUE 2 & MANTIS
Sonique 2 is based on some very nifty technology that
Andrew, Nicholas, and the rest of the Sonique coders
have been developing for the last year called MANTIS.
MANTIS serves two important functions: First, it separates
GUI design from application development, allowing designers
and programmers to work separately on the same app, freeing
designers from the need to program and programmers from the
the need to do GUI design (they hate that). Second, it
provides an extremely powerful environment for creating and
operating real-time GUI interfaces. Animation, effects,
layering, font rendering, menu systems, and just about
everything else are handled by MANTIS, giving the GUI
designer supreme control over the look and feel of their
app. Want to make a fully animated semi-transparent free
floating dockable custom menu with flames shooting out of it?
Want it in 200 languages? MANTIS can do that for you...
OTHER TECHNOLOGY
MANTIS is not the only booty-slappin' body rockin' trick up
our sleeve. There's also the new audio system. It features
24 bit audio (just like professional studio gear), support
for DSP effects chains, can easily handle just about any file
format, and is faster than fast.
The plugin system is flexible and powerful. There are
really no limitations to what you can do. Plugins can take
advantage of MANTIS and integrate seamlessly. We expect a lot
of really interesting plugins to be developed for Sonique 2.
This is going to be amazing...
(stuff about skins removed)
PLATFORM SUPPORT
Sonique 2 is very portable. We designed it to be from the
beginning.
Expect Sonique 2 for Windows 9x, ME, NT4, 2K, XP as well as
Mac OSX,
Linux, BeOS, and AmigaDE
LEGACY SUPPORT
Yes, Sonique 1.x Skins and Visuals will work with Sonique 2..
QUESTIONS
If you have questions about Sonique 2, ask them in the forum
(0000,8000,0000 http://forum.sonique.com).
We will go through the threads in the forum every so often
and move common questions onto the FAQ.
The answers that you seek are often available from other users
or Team Sonique members themselves. We prefer communicating
in the forum to receiving tons of email. We get enough email
as it is.
CONCLUSION
Sonique 2 is something everyone at Team Sonique cares about
deeply. We're sure that you are going to love it. We
certainly do...
BIZ DEV
If you have business related questions about Mantis or Sonique2,
please contact our business development staff at 0000,8000,0000
info@sonique.com or call 415-276-3940.
I hope this is of intrest to you,
Bye M Stormink.

X-CELLENCE goes AmigaDE
We will not develop our games (SCR2K, FirePower and New York Nights) for the
Classic-Amiga. For us this was not easy to decide, but the limited possibilities
of the PPC/3D system the AMIGA can offer for the time being don't meet our
requirements.
Since we all are AMIGA users from the very beginning, we didn't want to put down our
ambitions regarding the AMIGA, thus we came to the conclusion to develop for the
AmigaOne. We hope for your understanding.

Jikes V1.13
Kriton Kyrimis has released version 1.13 of the open source Java-compiler 'Jikes' for AmigaOS and
AmigaDE (AmigaSDK). The compiler distinguishes by high speed and is therefore a good choice for
extensive projects.
The compiler has been developed by Philippe Charles and David Shields for
alphaWorks-program
from IBM. The current homepage of the compiler is situated on
IBM - developerWorks.
You can download the different versions for Amiga under the title link. Besides the compiler you need
the Java-run-time-classes e.g. from Sun or the open source Java-implementation
Kaffe. You can find a
Kaffe-version
for AmigaOS which also supports under the Geek Gadgets
X11-port graphics under Amiga Jikes FAQ from
Kriton Kyrimis.
The version of Amiga works without ixemul-library.

Of course a lot of bugs have benn fixed and many minor details added (see readme).

www.amigaworld.com is Not Down...
Yesterday I was pointed out that AmigaWorld obviously cannot be accessed. But www.amigaworld.com still
works only the `international` DNS-entry is missing - according to DENIC "Record last updated on 26-Feb-2001" -.
You can access the site under http://151.189.12.217. If you want to
read the programs support sites you have to do it in the following way, e.g for MUIbase:
http://151.189.12.217/support/muibase/
(Do not forget the slash at the end!). Ralph Reuchl

New version of SiteWay-modules: WebColor 1.2
WebColor is a helpful tool for creating and editing HTML-colours.
You can choose the colour in 24 Bit mode or it can be reduced to the so called "web-palette".
The Workbench palette colours can be used and the VGA- and Netscape-colour names are also supported.
WebColor is part of the SiteWay project.
WebColor can now adopt each colour from each window or screen using a pipette
(...which turned out to be very useful!).

Interview with Thomas Knäbel, pblan GmbH
Martina Jacobs from amiga-news.de asked the CEO of the bplan GmbH some interesting questions:
Amiga-News: The Pegasos specification basically corresponds to the Zico specification from Amiga, Inc.
In your announcement you talked about the hardware, after it was technically enabled,
to be utilized for system software verification. Are there plans to also make the Pegasos prototype
available to Amiga, Inc. for Amiga product verification?
Thomas Knäbel:
In the first step we conceive the BIOs and boot software of the Pegasos hardware for system software .
When these are working faultless (i.e. it will then already be possible to start Linux)
the hardware will be available for software developers (so for Amiga, too).
Amiga-News: In the comments on your announcement on amiga-news.de Michael Garlich from Titan-Computer was
talking about AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 will run on the Pegasos hardware, until the software would address
the AGA chip-set. Is this true and if so, how broad is this downwards compatibility? Will it be
possible to run style guide conformable applications and current available games on the Pegasos
hardware under AmigaOS 3.1 to 3.9?
Thomas Knäbel: The current software stage allows to execute the following kinds of applications:
- All of the AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 programs which do NOT directly address the Amiga chip-set.
That is to say programs accessing the system via the AmigaOS' API are executable.
- PowerUp programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
- WarpUP programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
Amiga-News: Furthermore Mr. Garlich was talking about a PCI-AGA card was in consideration. Of course this
makes Amiga users' hearts beat faster. Are you reflecting such thing regarding Pegasos?
Thomas Knäbel: We are taking this into account.
Amiga-News: The Classic-Amiga not only has the AGA chip-set for custom chip. Standard for sound output is the
internal sound chip (Paula). Will the Classic-Amiga's sound chip be emulated by the Pegasos system and/or
are there other solutions for sound output under AmigaOS via the Pegasos' integrated sound sub-system
(e.g. similar to AHI on the Amiga)?
Thomas Knäbel: The Amiga's original audio output is made possible by a respective emulation. Programs utilizing
AHI are supported directly.
Amiga-News: Is there something you would like to say to the Amiga users?
Thomas Knäbel: On this occasion we would like to thank all of the Amiga users and software developers who had to
manage things without new hardware for a long period of time. We are sure to be able to offer to all of these Amiga enthusiasts a
hardware which meets the requirements of a modern computer system.
Amiga-News: Thanks a lot for this interview and much success for the future.

New project: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation
TAWS is a JavaScript project with the aim to convert the look & feel of our
beloved Workbench to a browser.
Many Amiga-related sites use the l&f of the Workbench for navigation, so I
had the idea to perfect it.
Feedback is wanted; I am interested in others point of view and if I
should go on with the project or not.
