Press Release: "Free Amiga Jobs" Conversion
Cologne/Erkrath, Germany, 02-Mär-2001 - In April 2000, Free Amiga Jobs,
the online job market especially for the Amiga market, was founded by
amiga-news.de and AMIGAplus. During its existence, more than 50 employees
were placed with firms and thus many new Amiga projects brought forward.
On March 1st, 2001, Free Amiga Jobs was restructured and equipped with
a powerful database. Employers can now submit their job offers online, while
employees can search for a job by several criteria. Of course it can still
be used for free by both employers and employees.

amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/jobs-db.pl or
from the website amiga-news.de/ or
http://www.amigaos.de/.

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - AmigaKonto full version
By authority of Adreas Regul the program AmigaKonto is ready for
free download. AmigaKonto was developed for management of
accounts. Especially for bank giro accounts with many movements
one quickly forfeits summary in verifying recurrent money transfers.
Therefore AmigaKonto first of all serves as a special kind of
database for managing the different transfer orders. By
various selection and statistic functions then it is possible to
address single positions well directed.
Full benefit is to achieve in collecting account data over several years
to have comparison values at hand enabling you to get a quick summary
by use of the selection functions.
Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is
without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of
Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation,
so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to
Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are
talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.
Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody
at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.
Supplement 02 March 2001
On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no
loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older
buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or
could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!

New Strategy Game Planned
Alien Imperium is supposed to become a network and Internet game which is supposed to support several
operating systems, because it will be programmed in Java. It will be made in co-operation of
Amig@lien with AccM Software Allianz.
In this space strategy game you have to be superior in technology and tactics to other races.
For instance you can invent a lot, but you can also enter alliances as well as other contracts.
Everybody who liked Imperium Terranum will be fine with this game. This game will be delivered on CD-ROM
and will certainly be released for the AmigaOne, but also a classic-Amiga version is planned. We hope
you are already excited.
Here is a hint for all who cannot wait for it: We hope to be able to show a graphic and sound presentation
to the computer revolution 2001. (Ricco Clemens)
Those ones who want to support the project "Alien Imperium" should mail to AccM or Amig@lien. We are
grateful for each help! Manfred Rauer (POI)

New Developer in NetBSD Team
Jukka A Andberg has been included in the NetBSD-team. He has written a first (still incomplete) version
of a wscons[1]-driver for NetBSD/Amiga and will now complete it.
Wscons is the console driver interface which does not depend on the machine and which is already in use
on many NetBSD-architectures. It enables virtual switching consoles and makes the simultaneous use of
text consoles and X11-screen(s) possible which is a characteristic not included in the ite- (Internal Tty-Emulator)
system which is used in NetBSD/Amiga, so far.

Confusion about Proceedings Against Met@box
»Currently a report of the stock exchange information service Prior produces some confusion.
Referring to this the public prosecution Frankfurt investigates the set-top-box producer Met@box
from Hildesheim because of the suspicion of manipulation of the stock exchange.
Already at the beginning of the year the business offices of the company has been investigated.
At inquiry the public prosecution Frankfurt referred to their colleague in Hildesheim; the supreme
public prosecutor Seemann confirmed that a proceedings was carrying out but refused to give
further information.
Instead of that he referred to the public prosecution Hannover which did not make a comment as well as
Prior himself: "The chief is in vacancy", was the answer at inquiry from Heise online.«

SoundFX 4.1 Nearly Finished
The important new feature is the batchprocessor. It makes it possible to convert whole directories.
Something I want to know - is there anybody out there who is still using SoundFX without a
math-coprocessor? If you do so (that means that you have a 68000, 68020, 68030 without 68881/882)
please mail me.

remember B.C. (aka Bobby Clark, the guy who filled up Aminet mods/med with
heaps of music) ... B.C. now has recorded a debut album, which is purchasable
at http://www.mp3.com/2000bc
The debut album is titled 2000 B.C. It features mainly electronic and new age
based tracks, as well as a couple of re-makes of aminet Octamed classics.
The album may be purchased online from http://www.mp3.com/2000bc, and there
are sample mp3 tracks on the site which may be streamed or downloaded.
The album was made with the help of an Atari 1040ST running Steinberg 12, and an
Amiga 1000 (YES! A 1000!!!) running good old Octamed 4.0!

NListtree Final! Version 18.7 final
After many beta versions now the new version of NListtree is available under
the title link. NListtree is a MUI class basing on NList capable of
predictable displaying data in a tree pattern in different ways.
Among other software NListtree is utilized by
AmiTradeCenter, NewsCoaster, Charon, RxMUI, Workbench 2000,
SimpleMail, etc. This list is continuously growing.
For faultless function the latest version of NList v0.90 (19.98)
is needed, which is available under the title link form today, too.
NListtree works only constricted or not at all with elder versions of
NList.
And now an appeal: I would be happy about information which other programs are using
NListtree.
Have fun with it,
Carsten Scholling

bplan GmbH: Pegasos First Hardware
bplan announce the first hardware platform to be available.
bplan GmbH announce the first
Pegasos prototypes
to be available. The fist hardware line is currently in progress at
DCE and after technical clearance will be
utilized for system software verification purposes.
According to bplan a first official presentation of a working system is to be expected
for early May, already. At the same time developer systems for software companies will be
available. As for possible operating systems for those machines
Linux as well as
MorphOS are supported directly.
In those systems the bplan GmbH for the very first time makes a platform available
including the virtue of an open system like Linux, as well as direct support for existing
Amiga® software.
Contrary to alternative basic approaches MorphOS is capable of running existing Amiga®
programs in a native PowerPC environment. The synergy effects between
both operating systems (Linux/MorphOS) as a result of this let the Pegasos systems be
interesting for both, developers and users.
