Amiga Active: New Amiga emulator for PC's
I just received the new "Amiga Active" reading about a new Amiga emulator for
PC's using neither Windows nor Linux as it's OS base, but a not mentioned
OS "which is not unalike the AmigaOS".
This emulator was tested by the editors on an 1.2 GHz Atholon, and is said to
easily outshine everything, even the UAE JIT. It reaches multiple of the speed of
the UAE and even of the speed of an 68060/50. Contrary to the UAE the AA emulation
still doesn't work, thus one must widely abstain from games. But programs like
Frogger or even Quake gave results embarrassing the performance of the PPC versions.
The emulator reached their office near shutdown, name and programmer still are secret.

Update: The Feeble Files for Amiga
Thomas Steiding of e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment GmbH wrote:
Last week we received a few more pre-orders for a possible Amiga port of
the cartoon adventure The Feeble Files. At this time we have altogether
298 pre-orders, so 102 still are missing, which should be sent either to us
(order@epic-interactive.com)
or to a stockist like KDH Datentechnik, who participate in this project.
This pre-order project will be valid thru 12. August 2001. If there will be less than
400 pre-orders until that date, unfortunately an Amiga version of
The Feeble Files (and probably any further Amiga port by e.p.i.c.) will be impossible
to be done.
Reminder note: The Feeble File requires an Amiga with a 4 MB graphics board,
32 MB of memory, and a 68060 OR a PPC CPU. The game costs 99,95 DM and will
be shipping on 2 CD's with both German and English version.

Messenger: AmigAIM BETA Version 0.9428
Richard H. Poser released beta version 0.9428 of the AIM messenger AmigAIM.
AmigAIM is a client to connect to the America Online Instant Messenger (AIM
service). Following an extract from the program's history to take the
changes from:
- Modified handling of Context Menus in Buddy List Area
- Online list - Selecting with Right Button...
- Online Buddy Name: Will automatically select that name and then open
the Online context menu
- Offline Buddy Name: Does the same as above, but opens the Offline
context menu
- Anywhere Else: Context menu will reflect the already selected Buddy Name,
if one is selected.
- Setup list - Selecting with Right Button...
- On Label or Buddy Name: Will automatically select that label/name and
then open the context menu
- Anywhere Else: Context menu will reflect the already selected Label/Buddy
name
- Modified Away, Online and Idle Time displays
- Now displays time in Days, Hours and Minutes (If you actually get someone that
idles for that long - I know someone that has idled for 2 days straight)
- Found that warning display wasn't being handled correctly, as AIM sends out the
value as a multiple of 10, such that 855 would equal 85.5. The display now
calculates the correct value and rounds as necessary (Up, or down).

Amiga Security Site online
Marius ´Cyborg´ Schwarz wrote:
Due to problems regarding Aminet I decided to put the programs online directly.
Additionally I've made some documents dealing with firewalling on the Amiga and
security in general, thus the side went online that late.
Now on this website among other things there are the TCPScanner in an even better version than it was
planned for Aminet, a tool to analyse firewall-logs to discover undesirable portscans. I did it
without the possibility to directly strike back, since this wouldn't pay. There is an additional
manual how to create meaningful log-files and the promised protection against the misuse of BlackIRC
from outside.
Anybody wanting to make her/his Amiga more secure is welcome.

Handelsblatt: Camgaroo: The second start
Carsten Schröder has drawn our attention to an article in Handelsblatt. The article is from 7th May 2001 and therefore is something old but nevertheless it is very interesting. The article is about the career of Gabriele Lechner which is well-known from her time where she was Amiga-publishing trader and author.
Here is a small part of the article:
»You can certainly still remember the Amiga?", Gabriele Lechner asks as a precaution as she fetches her little old-fashioned book from behind the desk. Only few poeple of the current dotcom-generation know the highly popular homecomputer of Commodore in the 80s. According to Lechner the Amiga was not only a computer - it was the beginning of her career as an employer.
Because her publisher of that time only wants to publish her book about the Amiga very hesitantly she founded her own publishing house overnight.«
You can find the full article under the title link. (ps) (Translation: dr)

System-Monitor: Sysmon V1.16
Etienne Vogt has released version 1.16 of his system-monitors.
Sysmon is a system monitoring and enhancing package based on a shared library
and Shell based support commands. It requires AmigaOS 2.04 or higher.
Installation of Richard Körber's Identify.library (util/libs/Identify.lha
on Aminet) is recommended if you want the Sysmon monitor to be able to
identify expansion boards.
If your Amiga has a MMU (Memory Management Unit), it is also recommended,
but not required, that you install Thomas Richter's mmu.library, available
from Aminet (util/libs/MMULib.lha).

CVS 1.11.1p1 AmigaOS-Port SSH-Update released
After two months since the first complete, ixemul.library indpendent release of
the AMigaOS port of CVS the authors (Olaf Barthel and Jens Langner) have released
a new update of the port.
In the last version the SSH support was missing and so some requests for an
implementation are send in. In this update it is fully integrated. So with this
version it is possible via SSH to check in/out directly from CVS servern. This is
needed fo example for Sourceforge-Accounts.
Besides many other important bugfixes since the last version now in this update
are processor optimized versions (020/030/040/060) contained, this should give
enhanced speed performance.
The latest version you will find here: http://amcvs.light-speed.de/

Tales of Tamar is an Internet based rounds strategy game by Eternity Entertainment Software
for the Amiga, Atari, Java, Linux, and PC. The Amiga version v0.36 R5 now for the first time
makes it possible to offer private (trade) agreements to other players. Agreement period,
number of goods, and the price can be determined. In not bringing your goods to the official
market you can establish an embargo against other players and make sure that own deliveries of
amours and weapons are sent to certain players, only.

New feature of TCPScanner V0.40
Portscanning on the Amiga enters the next level, beside of UDP/TCP scanning the
TCP-Scanner now is capable of identscan, also, hence can learn which user has started
the service scanned. Additionally a rudimentary stealth technic was implemented to
the scan operation, making it difficult for portscan detectors to find portscans.
If the upload will work the program will be for download on Aminet under /comm/tcp/,
from tomorrow.

Midi: camd.library V40, CamdBnp-Tools
The camd library v40 as well as the CamdBnp tools for BarsnPipes were
released on the NSM page.
'camd' is a shared library for midi, which is part of the AmigaOS. Due to
several problems with the original one and because there was no camd.library for
AROS, this library was completely new programmed. This one should work like
the original one and was successfully tested with 'BarsnPipes' 'Radium', and the
'CAMD' toolkit.
An additional driver 'mmp' and a special camd midi driver for WinUAE are
available for download for this library.
The 'camdbnp.lha.zip' archive contains 64 tools for BarsnPipes, which should
simplify the communication with other programs. The 'camd library' is used for
this communication.
'camd40.lha' and 'mmp.lha' contains both binary and source code
(APL, AROS Public License). The includes are part of the AROS source code and
also available via e-mail.

GFX-BASE: poll results and font tutorial
On the GFX-BASE you can now find the results of our latest poll. We had 331
votes regarding our question which graphics board you use/own. Have a look
yourself to see which one got the most votes.
Additionally we have a new (English) tutorial. It's all about fonts. We
explain the use of different fonts and font tools as well as the conversion of
different font types that you can use on the Amiga. We also deal with webfonts and
the use of fonts in word processors.
And then we have received again some more entries of games and scene demos that support graphics cards. More to follow soon.

97% of the poll participiants want the Amiga-Society to stay alive! For this we
want to thank you very much, as well as we thank all the people who offered us their help
and to whom we will surely come back in the next time.
The site is now available in a light version. The two central points
'Schlachtfeld' and the 'BBoAH' are still online. By the way, there's a poll running
whether a software page (in German) shall be created on the basis of the Big
Book of Amiga hardware. The full functionality will be reached again until
September, but till then it will have changed in content in quite some ways!
