Develop External Libraries for CanDo?
Hereby I offer all programmers a development kit which allows the creation
of external function libraries for CanDo.
The library support was written in SAS/C, but can be adapted to
Maxon or Storm with little effort. Both, synchronous as well as asynchronous
function execution (by sub-task), are possible. An example is included which
illustrates the way it works.
The library gets opened from CanDo by the command...
OpenLibrary {library name} [,{buffer name}]
...and...
result=CallLibrary(buffer name,function [,arg1,arg2,...,arg10])
...will call the function.
Asynchronously executed functions are caught by the object "ExternalEvent".
The entire documentation and all comments are written in English. The archive
(280 kb) can be requested from youcan@amclust.de.

New Drivers for NetBSD
NetBSD-current, the development branch of NetBSD, was extended with drivers
for some more ISDN cards.
Currently are supported:
- BSC ISDN Master 2092/64 (1)
- ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1 (1)
- VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1 (1)
- BSC ISDN Master II 2092/64
- Zeus ISDN Link 2189/3
- Individual ISDN Surfer 4626/5
(1) also in NetBSD-1.5 + isdb4bsd
These drivers are in NetBSD-current and thus will be shipped in NetBSD-1.6.
Testers are asked to test the new drivers on their experimental machines (as
far as possible); production machines should still run NetBSD-1.5 (with the
isdn4bsd package if necessary).
More information:

The library offers functions for loading and playing samples (only WAV a.t.m.)
via AHI, joystick control via lowlevel.library, and a best mode function for
CyberGraphX/Picasso96 or AGA/ECS/OCS. Dwarf is a TrainerMaker or Cheater like utility.
Soon updates of my other programs will follow, too, e.g. Orbit, UnLZX, UnRAR, and

OpenDivX for Amiga
After implementations of the "state-of-the-art" video codec 3ivX available for the Amiga,
another modern video codec will come to the Amiga. Within the following days the opendivx.library
will be released, a mixed-binary (WarpOS and 68k support) library capable of decoding and encoding
OpenDivX animations. Player support already will be available. The opendivx.library along with
developer information will be to find at Aminet.
Note: OpenDivX is not DivX :-) compatible, but it is possible to convert both of those similar formats
one into the other on a Windows machine.

New Article by John Chandler
After a longer break John Chandler at Suite101 wrote a new article titled
´This Is Reality Control´.
In his new column John Chandler deals with a new low-cost PPC computer.
This computer is about the
RealityStation by
Ideas2Reality.
This is a A500 like device at £300 with the following features:
- PowerPC (200 MHz)
- Graphic system (OpenGL compatible)
- 5 USB-Ports
- 2 Firewire-Ports
- 16 MB FlashROM
- DVD-Drive
- Optional harddrive
For operating systems QNX RTP and Linux will be utilized. But the
company also is interested in other operating systems and for this
hands over to third-party companies the system documentations.
More information can be taken form John Chandler's text under the
title link.

hopefully will be used lively.
It is planned to create an ICQ-FAQ from the postings but at the time being
time and information to do that is missing. Thence all ICQ users (and such about to
become one) are asked to drop by time by time and use the forum.

Telepolis: Online Readers Are Less Informed
»- and Less Controllable by the Editorial Staff
An investigation on different behavior in reading of print and online issues
of the NYTimes complains about missing visual indicators and detention to
pure value of the new inside online media.
How does on read news? Contrary to a newspaper, which is bought as a whole and normally
you run over the pages in part at least, whereby you possibly occasionally recognize
something you originally maybe didn't want to read, you single out much more when you
read online. But this maybe also would mean that little by little your point of view
takes in more and more, even more by personalized offers.«

Amiga, Inc.: New Executive Update by Bill McEwen
February 06, 2001
Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond
Greetings to the Amiga Family:
In Melbourne this last year, I was able to surprise many of you with several announcements that were unexpected, and we delivered on each of those.
Now we have a new show coming up in St. Louis. In a few weeks we will all learn...
Where is the AmigaOne? Will Cringley finally eat his words about a new Amiga? What about AmigaDE on PDA's, Set Top Boxes, Internet Appliances, or even desktops? Will Tom and Nicole stay together or is it over? Is there life for the AmigaOS after 3.9?
Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others before us, we have a big surprise for all of them.
I look forward to visiting with all of you in St. Louis, and I look forward to taking over the Hotel, and the surrounding area with the Amiga Spirit, and Community.
I hope to see many of you there.
There is still time, and in 6 weeks, it will all be known.
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - Special Price Project!
In cooperation with Bernhard Lindner Amiga Arena makes possible a special price
for T.U.M.M.Y! which is a little specialized database managing a big base of cards
of the card-game collection Magic The Gathering (>6700 cards).
The program's particular fortitude are the extremely powerful search functions
allowing to search for any card by almost any criteria imaginable. Many
enhancements are planned for the future, but strongly depend on number of
registrations.
Amiga Arena - AmiAtlas Special Price Project!
Still until 28 February 2001 AmiAtlas is available for special price.
Andreas Regul did NOT stop development of AmiAtlas! (But he just cannot continue
development himself.) He still is looking for a programmer for further development.
Also hobby developers are addressed by this! If interested please mail to
olaf.koebnik@online-club.de.

SPIEGEL: Jenny E. of the New Economy
In the current issue of the SPIEGEL (German magazine), in the context of
an article about the shady scheming of the former hacker Kim "Kimble"
Schmitz, on page 128 the following sentence is written:
"Already as a teenager Schmitz realized that one can do much more than
just playing "Pac-Man" with an Amiga computer. Pretendedly he invaded
the secure systems of the NASA, Pentagon, and Citibank. Soon he got the
aura to be a computer genius. But this version is vehemently mistrusted inside
the hacker scene."
A very interesting article making clear that genius and (megalo)mania
are very close neighbours.

GFX Lists Reworked
The lists of games and demos supporting GFX cards has been largely reworked. The
games entries are now subdivide to categories of name, genre, and - if possible -
size, download link, and URL. The demo entries now give also information whether
the demo runs on 68k, PPC or on both CPU's. Additionally the list has grown
strong because of the help of the Amiga users. Richard would be happy, if
still more entries would be contributed to the CPU list.

Programmers Wanted

First, greetings to the community!
This way, I'm looking for 2-3 experienced C/C++
programmers on Amiga for our team. We want to produce a realtime strategy game, for now
exclusively for Amiga (PPC and AmigaDE).
Conversions for Playstation 2, Dreamcast and Nintendo are planned
(depending on getting a licence of the respective producer).
Interested people may apply here
via email.
A small description of existing programming experience would be advantageous.

Other Companies copy Amiga's and TAO's Ideas
Hendrik Mikael Kristensen
worte on ANN that on the pages of the Danish news service
SOL.dk his attention was called to the fact
that possibly other companies are desirous of copying Amiga's idea of the
"write once - run everywhere" philosophy, thus pushing Amiga out of the market even before
they get in there.
The article is talking about QualComm trying
to create a standard operating system called BREW[TM], Binary Runtime Environment,
to be used on cell phones. If you take away Wireless you (almost) have what
TAO Group is doing.
Due to QualComm's particulars this works with every device equipped with their DMA chipsets.
BREW[TM] sits between the chip system software and the application allowing programmers
to let their applications access the cell phone's functionality without having the
chip system source code or a relationship with a handset manufacturer.
QualComm want to electronically certify all BREW[TM] programs before they can run on
consumer products and ask a fee from every of those spreading such programs (cell phone
companies). Hendrik thinks this might be indicating how important this technology
will be for the future.
Read the complete article under the title link.
