ilbmdtPPC V45.2
Stephan Rupprecht has made version
45.2 of his datatype for ILBM pictures for PPC available for download.
Download:
ilbmdtPPC.lha - 7 kB
We just got the following warning from Stephan Rupprecht
regarding his ilbmdt for PPC:
Version 45.2 of my ilbmdt for PPC unfortunately doesn't work with PlayCD included with AmigaOS 3.9
(crash), at the time being. Unfortunately I don't know the reason why, yet, since PlayCD crashes
on my system independent from the ilbm.datatype installed.

The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM on CD32
Some users of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM
informed me that the CD-ROM also boots on a CD32 and asked if I
planned that. Well, the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM
works on the CD32 with a nice intro indeed, but it cannot be used
completely without an expansion like the SX1 or SX32. If the user
has such an expansion he can use the CD-ROM completely otherwise
only the intro is shown.

Tao Group and PSION Announce New Co-operation for Enterprise Sector
CeBIT, March 22nd, 2001 -- Tao Group and PSION Teklogix today announced
a major new relationship to provide enterprise customers with faster and
smarter JavaTM applications running on EPOC. This new development will
be showcased on the PSION stand at CeBIT, Hall 19, booth D39.
Using Tao Group's innovative intent, JavaTM Java Technology Edition
(JTE), developers will now be able to design and run advanced Java
applications, never before possible on the EPOC platform. Enterprise
applications can now run on a broader range of mobile devices, allowing
faster delivery of critical business information - vital in sectors such
as field services and mobile sales.
Jamie Bodley-Scott, Market Development Manager, Psion Teklogix, commented:
"By developing this platform, we are recognising the vital importance that
high performance Java is playing within the corporate environment. intent
provides a fully SUN certified implementation of PersonalJava - significantly
increasing speed, flexibility and making multi-threading a reality in the
mobile enterprise arena."
Francis Charig, Chairman of Tao said: "The importance of EPOC in wireless
devices is increasingly in evidence, especially in regions such as Japan.
Tao is working with PSION to ensure that the very best multimedia and Java
technologies will become available on EPOC-based appliances and to help
drive EPOC products into future generations of digital devices."
Tao Group will be joining the PSION stand at CeBIT, Hall 19 Booth D39, from
22nd March to 28th March 2001.

StarGATE Newsletter 03/2001-1
The brand new, entirely reworked website of StarGATE Software was finished and put
online and can be accessed at
http://www.stargate-software.de/.
The essential changes in very short and quickly:
- Entirely new (hopefully better) design.
- Easier to use and navigate.
- Main focus of the site is now exclusively the "Software" area, both for
Classic Amigas and the new AmigaDE and for Java.
- The pages have been entirely translated into English language.
- StarGATE now has it's own domain.
As a matter of course some software products are available, too. Among those
the initial AmigaDE programms by StarGATE. I hope you will like the new pages.
Suggestions, critism, enhancement proposals, and hints of course are always welcome.
Finally some words about the software section in general:
Since it is measurable that the Classic Amiga has had it's time and the new
AmigaDE or AmigaOne are moving forward new developments mainly will be for the
AmigaDE.

'DiamondBOX' which you can access via the title link. The program is GFX compatible
and requires at least AmigaOS 3.0, 8 MB of RAM, 1 MB free harddisk space, an Amiga
with CPU 68020+, and of course a bit of creativity.

X-CELLENCE News
1.) Changes in staffing level:
Our team now exists of 10 staffers. Rico Pook took over the web design for us and
we would like to cordially welcome him on this occasion.
2.) Domain:
X-CELLENCE at last could take their domain and is reachable under
http://www.x-cellence.de, now.
3.) Cooperative team management:
We separated X-CELLENCE into divisions. Each of the divisions is working on
their project independent from the other teams. This allows maximum of flexibility which
is especially advantageous in the shrinking Amiga market.
4.) Wanted ....
Due to division of X-CELLENCE we are facing a staffing problem. We still are wanting
graphicians and programmers. For those we would prefer people out of the Amiga community.
Graphicians should be familiar with 2D/3D tools on AMIGA and/or PC. They would work in
the divisions "GOLD" and "EAST".
I.e.: "SCR2K" (FunRacer) and "NYN" (3D ActionAdventure Shooter).
We are exclusively wanting programmers for the AmigaDE. The Classic market is no longer
taken into account by us.

Alternative: Sony Vaio with Crusoe-CPU
The Sony notebook Vaio Picturebook/C1VE comes out very innovative:
it's equipped with a Crusoe CPU and an integrated camera and weighs
less than two pounds. Does the notebook worth a price of 4,500DM?
Summary:
This notebook of the Sony C1V line is fast in compared to PDA and quite slow
in compared to a 'real' notebook. But the price for it is placed in the
notebook range where 4,500DM are not any longer a dram, meantime.

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.
