New Version of Emperor Released
Emperor (download by clicking the title link) is an object-oriented programming
language which combines extensive features with a high level of user-friendliness.
Emperor opens up a higher quality of software development on Amiga computers
without having to deal with complex system structures.
The easy user interface provides a clear overview of the components of your own
program.
Emperor knows the most important system components like windows, requesters, menus and
ASL requesters, but also gadgets of many different kinds. All common Reaction and
GadTools gadgets are supported.
With Emperor, you can develop programs based on AmigaOS 3.5+, as well as for
AmigaOS 2.0. There's also the option to generate a program which contains both
parts (OS 3.5+ / OS 2.0) and adapts to the system booted.
Features of Emperor:
- Reaction/GadTools gadgets support
- creation of menus, requesters and many more
- support of asl.library and locale.library
- predefined, but changeable macros for all components
- immediate visualization for each element

New HTMLread Version
A new HTMLread version (V1.00) is available for download at the support site
(titlelink).
HTMLread is an extension for YAM. YAM is a marvellous mailer, but it's not
able to display e-mails that have been written in HTML code as they are sent
by Netscape, Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these
e-mails to an HTML viewer.
Some changes have been made in the new version:
Installer, better support of status gifs, better <base> tag
handling with web graphics, nowebbug fixed, picturename bug fixed,
no picture bug fixed, better multi window support, only one HTML mail is
stored in t:, multiple ARexxPort support (AWeb), the binary is now compiled
with the stormamiga.library (smaller, faster, more secure). HTMLread has
now internal support against e-mail espionage (please read on that topic
»Espionage through HTML-E-Mails« in the documentation).

On Peter's Amiga Homepage
a new printer driver for the HP Deskjet 870c (version 40.12) is
available for download. This new version now also supports 68040 processors
and the HP Prefs. Download:
HP_Deskjet870C.lha
Payback by Apex Designs is
ready on CD-Rom and thus suppliable. You can draw the game either from Apex Design's
online shop directly or from the vendor of your choice.
In this game the player takes the role of a young driver on the run and in this
tries to become a big gangster's boss. The game is completely non-linear. To finish a
level the player simply has to collect a certain number of points. It is up to the player
how to reach this. There also is a FAQ
available for the game.

There were no news about the ´KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]´ organisation
founded by Fleecy Moss, since September 2000. The group reorganized and nominated the
following speakers:
- Red (developers) speaker, John Chandler
- Green (companies) speaker, greenboy
- Joint Blue (users) speakers, Marcus Petersson and Greg Webb
If you would like to join the group you can register
here
and if so support other speakers.
SVM
Many thanks to all who've contributed to the discussions on the SVM Simple
Virtual Machine. Even greater thanks to Timo Suoranta for getting the whole
thing rolling and Marcus Petersson for providing valuable feedback.
Information on the SVM proposal as it currently stands is available here -
please read, enjoy and contribute your thoughts. For those who missed the
beginning of this fascinating task, the original document is available here.
This isn't exactly a light discussion and some understanding of assembly
language coding would aid any participants - but don't be intimidated!

MorphOS V0.4 with WarpOS Emu
Version v0.4 of MorphOS, an emulation for PPC Amigas, has been released.
This version supports the AmigaOS 3.5/3.9 ROM update modules, but external modules,
too. Thus theoretically everyone may write and use his/her own ROM update modules.
Now also the WarpOS emulation is supported, so for example you can play
Warp3D supported HereticII under MorphOS, too. You will find an extended documentation
of the improvements in the
readme file.
Additionally the ´PPC MUI 3.9 Public Release 1´ is available which is the second
MUI archive for PPC for MorphOS. (MorphOS V0.4 suggested).

New Version (V.44.50 beta 1) of the HSMathLibs for MC68881/82
Again there is a new version for registered users of the HSMathLibs.
Some bugs have been fixed and some smaller optimizations have been done.
For sure the essential enhancement in this version is the complete
compatibility with OS3.9 and support of (hopefully) all of the special cases for
the mathe-libraries.

Tales of Tamar or Operation: Counterstrike),
but he also set videos to music (e.g. the presentation of the company
Visum Informationssysteme GmbH
or he set the fair reports of Virtual Dimension) to music,
and composing of music pieces is one of his work.
Markus Holler has made up his mind to remaster his last MODs (with EQing, panorama, effect, compressing, etc...)
to give them a studio-like quality. Under the title link you can certainly listen to some music in
the next time! Check it out!

An AmigaChannel at irc.euirc.net with the topics BBS, Amiga and mutual user help is possible. Can be also used
as Amiga market. Main emphasis of me is to build up PMBS for the help or at least clearing starting
problems. The channel #humpis is already available for a while and has some regular users.
- Data for the channel:
- irc.euirc.net
- #humpis
- Port: 6667
If you have questions or problems please send a mail to
Jochen@Humpis.insider.org or
humpis@t-online.de.
Remark of the editor:
We recommend all chatters to create a website about their channel and the main topic (which Amiga topic
is discussed mainly) as well as the data for logging in and then to enter this homepage in the category
"IRC/Chat" in our Amiga Link Directory. In this way interested persons can find their channels long-term.

Golem: The world of Voodoo-graphic Boards is Open to Amiga
»From now on all Voodoo-graphic boards in Elbox Mediator PCI busboard are usable for Amiga
The Amiga-hardware producer Elbox has completed the "Voodoo.card ver. 1.0 driver" for its Mediator PCI
bus boards. This driver makes possible the use of all obtainable PCI-Voodoo-graphic boards - up to Voodoo5 5500 PCI -
on Amiga-1200-computers which are extended with Mediator.
There has been a driver for Voodoo3-PCI-graphic boards and corresponding Mediator-bundles since the last year
but now also the other Voodoo-graphic boards can be used: Voodoo Banshee 8 MB, Voodoo3 2000/3000 16 MB, Voodoo4 4500 32 MB and
Voodoo5 5500 64 MB. The driver which has been developed by Elbox itself are supposed to offer full
hardware acceleration but which is restricted to 24-bit-graphic mode at Voodoo4-and Voodoo5-graphic boards.«

server was especially designed for database applications doing a high degree of
calculations, such like e-business solutions basing on Oracle Software.
According to Compaq in Oracle Application Benchmark the ES40 slapped the opposers
IBM H70 and Sun E450 with more than twice the results. Also in the case of other
benchmarks like the SAP Business Warehousing and the SPEC CPU2000 the new
admiral would be clearly ahead.«

Heise: Napster Must Not (Completely) Go Offline
»Though the music exchange service Napster must not completely go offline, but
has to stop illegal copying of copyrighted music. The court, which had to decide about
the injunction in the context of the music industry's claim against Napster, confirmed
this injunction meaning that Napster violated copyrights, but wants to have it changed.
Because this decision to take Napster offline completely would have overshot. According
to the current decision Napster has to stop the exchange of songs in the case of violation
of copyrights. Until the injunction got changed it was delayed. But in fact this is about
to withdraw Napster's foundation - except for they will come to terms with the owner of
the copyrights before the injunction becomes effective.«

Amiga Future now also in English
On the Amiga Future homepage an interview with the programmer of Workbench
2000 has been released today. The interview can be found in the section
INTERACTIVE of the homepage (was AKTION).
Besides, the Amiga Future homepage is available also in English from today on.
The homepage has been translated 'by hand', not using a translator tool. Of
course, there's an English version of the interview in the English part of the
Amiga Future available. There's also a poll on the English start page and much
more.
For expanding the English homepage the editorial staff is still looking for
users which could translate the German texts every 1 - 2 weeks into the English.
In the English section there are two buttons: the first stands for the normal
and very up-to-date news of the Amiga Future that are translated online into
English using a translator tool, and the second leads to "real" English news,
powered by BoingWorld.

V³ v3.3.79beta
On 11. February 2001 Oliver Wagner has released the beta version
v3.3.79 of the web browser 'V³'. It contains bugfixes, improvements and
enhancements. For using this version a keyfile is needed. Besides this, Oliver
Wagner points out that it is a beta version that contains several bugs and so
mainly serves illustrating the actual state of development.
Compared against the version v3.3.75beta dated 4. February the following has
changed (among other things):
- Bugfix: A serious bug in the scanner caused all numeric
literals without decimal point interpreted as a 32 bit integer number, thus
forced also numeric literals not being integers into this format. For example
the initializing of the dates was affected.
- Bugfix: Prefs - When all cookies were deleted, this state wasn't saved thus
causing all cookies to be present again after a restart.
- New: JS - It is now possible to set form.target and form.action
[www.teleauskunft.de].
- New: JS - New functions: date.toLocaleString(), date.toUTCString(),
date.toGMTString(), date.getMilliseconds() and date.setMilliseconds().
- New: Layouter - support of percentage declaration within WIDTH and HEIGHT
of the IMG and EMBED tag.
- New: Layouter - supports now transparency in the background image.
- Change: General - workaround for erraneous URLs of the kind:
http://www.theviking.net?blah=blubb (e.g. missing '/' after the host).
- Change: Rexx - OpenURL was changed into LoadURL and the old OpenURL version
is used again. ARexx scripts and the openurl.library should now work.
- Change: Net - When following a redirect the GET command will now be sent
with the original URL as referer instead of the forwarding URL. This fixes
problems with scripts that check the refer and depend on the behaviour of the
MSIE [www.lycos.co.uk SMS service].
The complete list of the changes is content of the readme.

Tales of Tamar News
Version v0.33 of Tales of Tamar is available for download for registered beta
testers. If you also would like to become an alpha / beta tester, please send
an e-mail to this
address.
The necessary documents then will be send to you promptly.
In version v0.33 trading for Tales of Tamar has been enabled. Hence trading between
an unlimited number of players is possible, for the first time. Type, number, and
price of a country's produced goods are defined by that country's natural resources.
Those natural resources are defined by the player's estate.
Thus estate in the mountains automatically produce goods different from estate e.g.
in the woods. It can be dealt in weapons, raw materials, mercenaries, herbage, corn,
and ships. But you only can deal with people already known by you or you got to know
from your scout on the map.
