Heise [Newsticker]


Heise: Canon-Printer with "Date of Decay"
«Yesterday, in this way German ZDF-economic broadcast "WISO" reported about the case of an owner of a BubbleJet 600. This spring the four years old device started printing out the warning tank of remaining ink would be full soon after each printed piece of paper. After a little time the printer claimed remaining tank being full and finished work. The ingeneer looked after but neither tank nor absorbing felt has been soiled particularly. To be on the safe side he cleaned everything - but in vain. Printer didn`t start working again.

According to WISO Canon-hotline confirmed the printer has been provided with a counter for the drops of ink given off which stops the device as a precaution after 15000 pieces of paper printed out (depending on the kind of printing) - independent of the fact if the catching tank actually was full or not. The broadcast did find out BubbleJet 600 can be persuaded starting its work again by holding the keys "Power", "Form Feed" and "Print Mode" while putting in the main plug and switching on the printer.« For full Report have look at title link.

IRC Chat Server will be Switched Off
This is not a special amiga thing but I often see users using AmIRC at the IRC-NET. The oldest chatserver irc.uni-erlangen.de became a target of massive DDoS attacks from england yesterday (sunday). The IRC-operators were forced to cut the connection of the chatserver off because the homepage of the university of erlangen was not longer reachable. With that the premiere HUB-server for the whole EU was offline. If someone attacks irc.freenet.de now the whole EU will be cut off from the IRCNET.

irc.uni-erlangen.de will be online again by tomorow. Some of the attackers came from germany. Hopefully they will be soon uncovered and be called to account.

Amiga Future: Secret Revealed !
The future of the German Amiga games magazine "Amiga Future"
The end ?   NO !   A new begining !

Andreas Magerl explains the future on a special page (German). In fact the so far publisher the Falke-Verlag will discontinue production and selling of Amiga Future after issue #27 because of commercial considerations.

Preventing the last Amiga game magzin from being closed Andreas Magerl will continue to work with his editors. Selling will be based on subscriptions. Therefore you have to know that Andreas Magerl was responsible for the content and the Falke-Verlag for the layout and sales. Because he has not the marketing channels as a big publishing house has, the further existence depends on the number of subscriptions. A subscription form is available here. At the moment there are 6 issues availabel for 60 DM with costs of shipment inclusive (insdide of Germany).

InstallKit V3.8 and Locale for NewInstaller
Airsoft released version 3.8 for the InstallKits and an update for the locale files for NewInstaller V1.5 on August, 13th 2000.

The CD32 Games Install Kit now supports some additional games and is now significant more flexible in booting. Furthermore many loaders have been overworked.

Version 1.6 for NewInstaller will keep us waiting for some more time, thus there is a single release of the updated translations by ATO, at the first.

SViewIV als ImageFX-Loader
All owners of a keyfile for SViewIV can now use SViewIV as loader module for ImageFX V2.6+ due to the SuperView IFX loader module. By the use of the optional PPC module, the SuperView library, download time can be reduced notedly. SViewIV supports more than 30 graphics formats.

Anyone who owns a valid keyfile for SViewIV now also can utilize the
new "SUPERVIEW" IFX loader module with ImageFX 2.6 and above - it's
distributed as part of the main program, but add-on wise.

Additional ultra-speed can be achieved through SuperView-Library's
optional PPC modules - which are working completely transparently.

Additional information on SViewIV/PPC can be found under
http://www.ar-kleinert.de - including download links to
Aminet and to the RegNet creditcard-based online registration site.

If you can't wait, here's some more information.
SViewIV comes with the following SVObject loaders for images:

- IFF-ACBM         - Windows,OS/2 BMP   - PNM (PBM,PGM,PPM)
- IFF-ILBM         - JPEG (JFIF v6)     - IMG (GEM Graphics)
- IFF-DEEP         - PhotoCD            - WPG (WP Bitmaps)
- IFF-FAXX         - TIFF               - MacPaint MAC
- IFF-PBM          - PCX                - EPS (Header/PS)
- IFF-RGB8         - Atari Degas        - C64 (Koala, Doodle)
- IFF-RGBN         - Spectrum ZX        - TIM
- IFF-RGFX         - XWD                - FBM
- IFF-YUVN         - Windows Icon       - CDR-Previews
- QRT/POV Raytrace - Mac PICT-2         - SGI
- SPP              - SVG                - Targa
- Pictor/PCPaint   - SunRaster          - UtahRLE
- PNG              - CVP (passphoto)    - Icons (WB/Magic/New)

as well as all OS3-Datatypes
and 24 Bit DataTypes (picture.datatype V43).

Many formats with 24 Bit-Support.

(*) attached you find a preview copy of the IFX loader for
convenience

(**) in the current version, all images are imported
as 24 bit for quality. If there's demand for colormaps
or a SAVER module, this would be an option for
future releases.
