http://www.amigadev.net. Look to the right hand menu bar
and click the link that says "Join Amiga Support".
Fill in the form as completely as possible. In the text
block, list any Amiga applications you have beta tested.
Once the form is completely filled in, click "save".
Then, log in to the amigadev site using your new ADxxxx
number that you will receive from filling in the form.
Look to the right hand menu bar under "Legal" and grab a
copy of the Amiga Inc. NDA. Fill in the NDA and fax to
425-396-5660 Attn: Gary or mail to:
Amiga Inc.

Snoqualmie, Wa 98065
Amiga Inc. is also requesting all active AmigaOS and
AmigaDE developers to follow the above procedures with

Once a developer has his AD number and NDA in to Amiga

Eyetech: Price for AmigaOne not announced, yet
Alan Redhouse of Eyetech has posted to the comments of
ANN a comment about the mentioned price for the
AmigaOne boards. He said that Eyetech did not announce prices for their own
AmigaOne computer, yet. This is also applies to price declarations for
vendors.
The price independently mentioned by 'epic/amigastuff' he thinks to be
for testing purposes to find out about market reactions.
«1. no dealers have yet been announced
2. no pricing has yet been announced to any dealers
3. epic/amigastuff are just guessing to test the market reaction IMO.
4. none of this helps anybody.

ARexx: Selection Script for Miami
Everybody who wants to save money and therefore assigns his online times
to several providers, knows the problem having to call in Miami the cheapest provider
for the time being via "Load settings" every time. Frank Seidel has written a
small ARexx script to simplify this.
If you call the script for example via the Toolmanager Miami is started (if not
already running) and then you can immediately choose via button the wanted settings
file. There are four buttons available:
| Standard | Mon - Sat | Sun + holiday | Choose yourself |
Clicking on ´Choose yourself´ opens a file requester in the Miami
directory, and you can choose the file yourself. After that Miami goes online.

Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC Hardware
Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC hardware for PC's and new Amigas,
along with Power Macintosh emulation!
Jim Drew from Microcode Solutions wrote on
the 18.05.2001:
Today, Microcode Solutions finalized preparation for the production of
PowerPC hardware to be used in PC compatibles and next generation Amiga
machines.
The hardware will come with software to emulate a Power Macintosh (tm)
computer. More information concerning the emulation will be released in
the near future.
Specifications for the hardware will not be released until the hardware
is ready to ship. However, we can say that the hardware will have some
astounding features designed around simplifying 3rd party development,
including emulation technology.
Microcode Solutions will be offering free developer hardware to
qualified companies and 3rd party developers (including
freeware/shareware). Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a
complete SDK for the hardware to the public, and provide technical
support to anyone interested in developing software for this hardware.

REBOL: Skript-Library on Desktop
The script library of REBOL.com can now be accessed from

updating of scripts is also possible.
Currently, the library is at beta 1 status. For future versions,
there are ideas like a browser for better viewing of the library,
a history icon which informs about changes and an additional field
in the REBOL header which states in which environment (CGI, REBOL/View, ...)
the script works and whether it produces output which is for example
not the case with includes that merely import functions.

Since we were advised by many people that the initiator is about to be somebody
who lacks seriousness, we suggest to read the
comments, too.
Original message with more details.
This chat will include voice. Just get your mics and plug them in. Or
at least turn the voice on. First go to yahoo. Then click on the Chat
link. Register as a user if you haven't done so. Don't download the
messenger because its windows unless you have a windows machine then
come early and download yahoo messenger.
Once logged in, click on the start chatting button, its java so it best
to use a Java capable browser. Go to AMIGAONE room and I AMIGATHEONE will
be there. Along with many others.
Starting SAT JUNE 9th, 7pm central and lasting till whenever there
will be a live chat on the new AMIGA. All may truly express their
feelings on what they dislike and this log will be submitted to Bill
and Fleecy.
You may contact me at amigaone@powerh.net
to get the log of the show. I personally invite people who wrongly
believe in the pci and agp solution. IF they aren't there it only proves
that they are wrong and cant put up. This is an enlightening forum for
truth and helpfulness. Nothing else. Absuses will not be tolerated and
anybody doing so will be booted by me or my assistance whom I trust.

Webtool: SiteWay-Modul 'ImageEditor' Version 1.33
Christoph Poelzl of
RMS Communications advised me that
more and more digital cameras (e.g. Canon EOS D30, Olympus E10, Kodak DCS 760....)
are using a raw format, which apparently no Amiga software can read. Utilizing
the two new loaders ´RAW Grey´ and ´RAW Color´ the
ImageEditor
in principle can read any raw formatted picture (e.g. sculpt), now.

'Business Cards' of Chip Designers
Any Amiga user is aware that hardware and software designers like to leave some
personal remarks (easter eggs) in their work. More difficult is to find such 'business cards'.
Those reside on silicon chips and can be made visible only by using a microscope (or even an
electron microscope).
Here are two pictures from Motorola PowerPC chips:
Motorola XPC 750
Motorola XPC 603

Programming Language: Emperor Introduces Itself
Emperor is an object-orientated programming language which enables the user in a most simple way to
write applications and tools for the new AmigaOS 3.9 as well as for AmigaOS 2.0.
Standard-GUI-elements like windows, menus, requesters, ASL-requesters, ReAction- and GadTools-gadgets
are integrated by clicking the mouse and can be programmed with the help of macro functions and integrated
text editor. The gadgets can communicate by implementing of so called Interconnection-maps without
typing a single line of source code. It is also very easy to create locale-catalogs and variables, to
integrate libraries and so on. Emperor has an easily understandable and user-friendly ReAction-Gui and
a detailed online-handbook in the ".guide"-format.
Programming the new AmigaOS becomes a pushover!
Emperor is available in the completely reworked version 4.0 and has the following features:
- Immediate visualizing of each element available
- Generating C/C++-source code
- Integrated text editor
- StormC-connection via ARexx
- Generating source code for AmigaOS 2.0, AmigaOS 3.9 or in mixed modus
- Memory use drastically reduced (requires: 3 to 4 MByte)
- Fixed some minor bugs of the previous version
- Extended handling of GadTools-gadgets
- Understandable layout
- More complex menus
- FREEWARE
You can download version 4.0 of the program on Aminet-directory "dev/c".

Heise: Karlsruhe judges Future of Domain Names
»Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe will effect a Domain hearing on Thursday which is considered to be
trend-setting for handling general describing web-addresses.
First the conflict about the domain www.mitwohnzentrale.de had exercised judiciary of Hamburg. In the end
of 1999 regional court of appeal allowed the suit of the roommate center compound HomeCompany and
had forbidden the defendant Ring Europaeischer Mitwohnzentralen (REM) to continue using the domain because of
anticompetitive action. The use of terms without individual additives would interfere competition at
the expense of competitors. This would lead to an "interception" of possible customers just wanting to
explore the tender at the market section by 'hit or miss'-typing the Domain name. Because of that they
would accidently come to the defendant's sites and would stop searching for other competitors and
therefore would not compare other services.«

Heise: IBM WebPAD
IBM will publish a WebPAD with QNX Neutrino as OS and Opera as WWW-browser. A customer also has been found, yet.
If the device contains a PPC or a x86 processor was not mentioned in the message. IBM had announced PPCs
for Internet appliances (just like this one) where graphics chips and parts of the periphery will be integrated
on the chip.
And if anyone wonders why this message belongs to the newsticker, here one hint: "This could have been the
AmigaNG (QNX+Opera+[PPC ?])".

Ultraconv Online Registration
Already early this year we took over distribution of Ultraconv, formerly
distributed by RBM. Due to the last release took place some time ago, we can hardly
determine if there is sufficient demand for a new version, again. To find out
about the number of active Ultraconv users, we decided to raise a registration
project for Ultraconv. We ask all of the Ultraconv owners to register online.
It's understood that your data will be kept in confidence and will not be handed down.

GFX-BASE: Tutorials and New Features
Ricard Kapp wrote:
On GFX-BASE some changes took place last days! A search function for the
games database was included, new links and entries were added and now there is
a tutorial area where you will find workshops and FAQs in English.
The first tutorial is online and is a FAQ with pictures about anim formats.
We are presenting anim players for the Amiga and explain how to display
special formats on gfx boards. (A tool to play the famous animations from
Eric Schwartz on gfx boards is included in this explanations)
If you wish to translate this tutorials into German, write a mail. Have fun!
