REBOL: Skript-Library on Desktop
The script library of REBOL.com can now be accessed from
the View desktop. With the help of its library drawer, upload and
updating of scripts is also possible.
Currently, the library is at beta 1 status. For future versions,
there are ideas like a browser for better viewing of the library,
a history icon which informs about changes and an additional field
in the REBOL header which states in which environment (CGI, REBOL/View, ...)
the script works and whether it produces output which is for example
not the case with includes that merely import functions.

Amiga Arena: Special Price Offer
About two weeks ago, the Amiga Arena offered in cooperation with Fun Time World
to get the package ´Image Engineer´ and ´Visual Engineer´ for a special price of DM 49,-;
on the condition that we would get more than 30 orders. Sadly, we couldn't reach even half of that so far.
We'll leave the order form online
until Sunday and hope for many orders. Maybe we'll manage to the special price for the collective order from the
programmer.

AMIGAONE Yahoo Chat
Shawn (aka Amigaone) has created a chat with subject ´AmigaOne´ at Yahoo.
To take part a JavaTM capable browser is required and you will have to register for
the chat at Yahoo. On Saturday, 9 June (7 pm) a live chat will start where users will
be able to discuss theire wishes, criticism, and suggestions for the AmigaOne. The
log-file will be forwarded to both Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss. Who would like to
receive the log-file, may contact amigaone@powerh.net.
Supplement:
Since we were advised by many people that the initiator is about to be somebody
who lacks seriousness, we suggest to read the
comments, too.
Original message with more details.
This chat will include voice. Just get your mics and plug them in. Or
at least turn the voice on. First go to yahoo. Then click on the Chat
link. Register as a user if you haven't done so. Don't download the
messenger because its windows unless you have a windows machine then
come early and download yahoo messenger.
Once logged in, click on the start chatting button, its java so it best
to use a Java capable browser. Go to AMIGAONE room and I AMIGATHEONE will
be there. Along with many others.
Starting SAT JUNE 9th, 7pm central and lasting till whenever there
will be a live chat on the new AMIGA. All may truly express their
feelings on what they dislike and this log will be submitted to Bill
and Fleecy.
You may contact me at amigaone@powerh.net
to get the log of the show. I personally invite people who wrongly
believe in the pci and agp solution. IF they aren't there it only proves
that they are wrong and cant put up. This is an enlightening forum for
truth and helpfulness. Nothing else. Absuses will not be tolerated and
anybody doing so will be booted by me or my assistance whom I trust.

Christoph Poelzl of
RMS Communications advised me that
more and more digital cameras (e.g. Canon EOS D30, Olympus E10, Kodak DCS 760....)
are using a raw format, which apparently no Amiga software can read. Utilizing
the two new loaders ´RAW Grey´ and ´RAW Color´ the
ImageEditor
in principle can read any raw formatted picture (e.g. sculpt), now.

'Business Cards' of Chip Designers
Any Amiga user is aware that hardware and software designers like to leave some
personal remarks (easter eggs) in their work. More difficult is to find such 'business cards'.
Those reside on silicon chips and can be made visible only by using a microscope (or even an
electron microscope).
Here are two pictures from Motorola PowerPC chips:

Programming Language: Emperor Introduces Itself
Emperor is an object-orientated programming language which enables the user in a most simple way to
write applications and tools for the new AmigaOS 3.9 as well as for AmigaOS 2.0.
Standard-GUI-elements like windows, menus, requesters, ASL-requesters, ReAction- and GadTools-gadgets
are integrated by clicking the mouse and can be programmed with the help of macro functions and integrated
text editor. The gadgets can communicate by implementing of so called Interconnection-maps without
typing a single line of source code. It is also very easy to create locale-catalogs and variables, to
integrate libraries and so on. Emperor has an easily understandable and user-friendly ReAction-Gui and
a detailed online-handbook in the ".guide"-format.
Programming the new AmigaOS becomes a pushover!
Emperor is available in the completely reworked version 4.0 and has the following features:
- Immediate visualizing of each element available
- Generating C/C++-source code
- Integrated text editor
- StormC-connection via ARexx
- Generating source code for AmigaOS 2.0, AmigaOS 3.9 or in mixed modus
- Memory use drastically reduced (requires: 3 to 4 MByte)
- Fixed some minor bugs of the previous version
- Extended handling of GadTools-gadgets
- Understandable layout
- More complex menus
- FREEWARE
You can download version 4.0 of the program on Aminet-directory "dev/c".

Heise: Karlsruhe judges Future of Domain Names
»Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe will effect a Domain hearing on Thursday which is considered to be
trend-setting for handling general describing web-addresses.
First the conflict about the domain www.mitwohnzentrale.de had exercised judiciary of Hamburg. In the end
of 1999 regional court of appeal allowed the suit of the roommate center compound HomeCompany and
had forbidden the defendant Ring Europaeischer Mitwohnzentralen (REM) to continue using the domain because of
anticompetitive action. The use of terms without individual additives would interfere competition at
the expense of competitors. This would lead to an "interception" of possible customers just wanting to
explore the tender at the market section by 'hit or miss'-typing the Domain name. Because of that they
would accidently come to the defendant's sites and would stop searching for other competitors and
therefore would not compare other services.«

IBM will publish a WebPAD with QNX Neutrino as OS and Opera as WWW-browser. A customer also has been found, yet.
If the device contains a PPC or a x86 processor was not mentioned in the message. IBM had announced PPCs
for Internet appliances (just like this one) where graphics chips and parts of the periphery will be integrated
on the chip.
And if anyone wonders why this message belongs to the newsticker, here one hint: "This could have been the

Ricard Kapp wrote:
On GFX-BASE some changes took place last days! A search function for the
games database was included, new links and entries were added and now there is
a tutorial area where you will find workshops and FAQs in English.
The first tutorial is online and is a FAQ with pictures about anim formats.
We are presenting anim players for the Amiga and explain how to display
special formats on gfx boards. (A tool to play the famous animations from
Eric Schwartz on gfx boards is included in this explanations)
If you wish to translate this tutorials into German, write a mail. Have fun!

R-Type Title Song as Ringing Sound for your Cell Phone
Dennis Lohr, aka Psyria, has got another
licence from Chris Huelsbeck to convert one
of his songs into cell phone format. This time it's the title melody of "R-Type".
For everybody who doesn't need a picture, here's the notation sequence:
4G#4, 4D#5, 4G#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5, 4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5,
2C#.5, 8D#5, 8F5, 4D#5, 4D#5, 4G#4, 4D#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5,
4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5, 2A#.5, 8G#5, 8A#5, 4G#5, 8G#5, 1P
First number: kind of the note (full, half, quarter, ...)
Letter : note height (if need be with "#" + ".")
Third number: Octave (note height)
People who'd rather see a picture can find this at Psyria on the homepage (title
link) at the download area.
On "www.mp3.com/huelsbeck" you can find
the old pieces of Chris Huelsbeck in studio quality.
The next conversion for the handy will be "Giana Sisters". Be anxious. ;)
Psyria wrote:
You have to set the speed for the song for yourself!
This is needed because every cell phone producer uses a different way for the speed
display. For example: for Siemens cell phones it's 1 = slow to 30 = fast and for
Nokia cell phones it's in bpm.
On Siemens cell phones it would be 7 or 8 ;) (tested on S25 & S35)

REBOL: Function Dictionary, Sound Support, VID FAQ
Function dictionary
On the 10. May 2001 has REBOL Technologies released an update of the
'Function Dictionary' where the functions of the REBOL system
are described. The functions are sorted by categories and alphabetically. The
dictionary is available as
HTML file (almost 900 KB)
and in the REBOL desktop via 'REBOL.com/Ref-Make'. This script loads around 40
KB from the REBOL site and generates the file
'/public/www.rebol.com/view/docs/dictionary.html' within the REBOL directory.
Sound support
REBOL/View/Pro supports from the version 1.2 on the output of sound samples.
For the loading of samples is a subset of the WAV format (PCM samples with 8 or 16
Bit) supported.
The sound output is possible on the systems AmigaOS (AHI, audio.device),
BeOS, Linux/x86 (Open Sound System) and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.
Further information can be taken from the
REBOL sound documentation.
VID-FAQ
A faq regarding the REBOL GUI dialect 'VID' can be found via the REBOL desktop
on
http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.r within 'VidWiki'.
Information: REBOL
REBOL is a cross platform system developed by Carl Sassenrath (Amiga-Exec) that was
first released in November 1997. The REBOL programming language
allows an easy use of the internet including the programming of CGI scripts and
the easy creation of GUIs.
On 24. April 2001 was REBOL/View V1.1 released. From this version on
REBOL offers the REBOL desktop. This makes it possible to put REBOL scripts on
every web server, so that these scripts can be called and executed via the
desktop. Herewith REBOL offers similar possibilities as Java does. The
examples listed on REBOL include
games like Tetris and Minesweeper and tools like a pocket calculator and a
script for sending e-mails.

Amiga port of SiN Finished, but...
From a posting of Ben Hermans of
Hyperion Entertainment it is evident
that the Amiga port of the game 'SiN' is ready but the actual Amiga hardware
isn't enough to cope with the requirements of the game. The port will be hold
back until the AmigaOne hits the market.
Hermans said that particularly the lower-end Blizzard acceleration cards couldn't offer
the CPU speed needed for 'SiN'.

Intel: Itanium Set in May
Intel plans the release of the first batch
Itanium chips for the end of this month. It is expected that two or three
versions of this chip will arrive. One with 733 Mhz and a 800-Mhz version with
2 MB cache. A 800-Mhz version with 4 MB cache is said to come, too. Amiga should
now mention whether an Itanium compatible translator (VP) is planned.
Itanium chips are 64Bit processors that can among other things manage 32 GB
memory. Enough for complete websites or the content of big harddrives.
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and other big computer distributors will soon present
computers with 2, 4 and even with 16 processors that for the first time will have
the 64 bit Itanium chip.
