Exploring MP-Like Solutions
Fleecy Moss (Vice President - Development - Amiga Inc.)
talks on the AMIOPEN mailing list about the subject Memory Protection (MP)
in the new Amiga. This discussion rose from the amiga-news.de
interview
with Francis Charig from TAO. Hereupon followed several discussions in the
MooBunny forum:
1. Thread Looks (to me) like AmigaDE will never have mp
2. Thread Tao's response to MP in AmigaDE
3. Thread Bill M's response to Tao's response to MP in DE
Also at ANN this subject has been discussed industrious
in a long Thread.
There were many comments at
amiga.org, too.

Planet IT: Interview with Bill McEwen
Dave Johnson from Planet IT did an interview
with Bill McEwen, President and CEO at Amiga Inc. on
January 8th, 2001.
Here a small extract from the six-pages interview:
Q: It sounds like you have plans to do a lot of things. Where are you concentrating your effort?
A: In the home. Homes need set-tops, desktop computers, handhelds and cell phones.
Motorola even has a cell phone running the Amiga OS, by the way. The home is our target,
and I think you'll see us first in set-top boxes. We also have some reference designs for
some amazing desktops that we think will blow people away. We won't build hardware ourselves,
but we have reference designs for others to build.
Q: So there could be new Amiga hardware coming out. Will there also be shrink-wrapped
Amiga OS packages to run on Windows?
A: Yes, there will be, but I'm not sure what the timing will be. We're still finishing
up some of the last components, like the 3D renderers. That will all be finished up in
the next new months. Already, we can run very cool 3D animation on a Cassiopeia, and it
is very smooth.
The entire interview is to find under the title link.

Heise: Linux Worm Obviously Spreading Rapidly
«An Internet worm named Ramen is attacking servers running under
the Linux distribution by Red Hat and apparently is spreading quite quickly.
It's activities stood out by augmented scans on Remote Procedure Call Services (RPC).
The worm utilizes two security gaps known long before inside of
FTP-Server wuftpd
and the program rpc.statd, which obviously still not have been remove from
many Linux machines. Already in September 2000 the Computer Emergency Response Team
(CERT) gave warning of
augmented attacks
of this kind.»

Heise: DivX Successor "OpenDivX" goes Open Source
«The MPEG4 video codec successor "DivX", which derived some stardom from being in
operation for spreading piracy copied movies via the Internet, may hope to be widely supported.
To gain more programmers to participate in the so called "Project Mayo"
the developers around Joe Bezdek, "Director of Product Definition" of Project Mayo decided
to release the current en-/decoder core of the video format as
Open Source.
OpenDivX is only one step on the way to realize greater goals: a versatile video codec -
named "DivX Deux" by the programmers - offering high quality and being free available at the same time

Vulcan Software Alive
After a long period of abstinence there are some news from Vulcan Software. We remember: An English producer
and developer of moderate Amiga games.
The "Valhalla" series, which was not very successful for the Amiga already, will be continued for the PC.
For the Amiga this game could at least convince by its few spoken sentences, but the first screenshots
of PC-Valhalla makes suspecting a product PC users might gladly leave un-converted.

Heise: Linux 2.4 with File-System ReiserFS
«The Linux-kernel v2.4.0 has just been finished at last, and development already goes on. The biggest
change which will be integrated in the next kernel-version 2.4.1 would be including of the Journaling File System
ReiserFS. Already at the beginning of October Linus Torvalds explained in an interview with c`t that he
will not include ReiserFS in kernel 2.4.0, but as soon as possible in the 2.4. line. Obviously the time is right:
kernel 2.4.1-pre7 contains ReiserFS.»
Have a look at the title link for the full article (German).
According to Sourceforge
Apus test-kernels are also available for Amiga Linux.

'The Commodore Billboard' Needs Help
Amiga Future wrote:
'The Commodore Billboard' has a really big problem. The site has 17 new TV-advertising spots
and several other stuff, but has not any possibility to offer that amount to the users on their own server.
Because of that Soren is urgently searching for users to put some files on their servers. If you have
this possibility, please contact Soren via eMail.
Following the complete message:
«The 17 tv-ads require some 70 MB. This will generate more traffic than I'm
allowed to use on my server. I'm currently in contact with a guy who might
be able to host all the files for free. This is obviously the ultimate solution,
but if this fails, I would like to know if some of you die-hard Commodore fans
out there would be willing to help me?
Instead of one server hosting all the video clips, I was wondering if we
could spread the files over several servers. If 17 people would volunteer
and host 1 file each? You would have to provide between 2.2 and 5.5 MB
storage space each. Would anyone be interested? I order to make this work,
I guess it'll have to be all or nothing. If only 5 people volunteer, I think
I'll scratch this hosting idea. As you may have traffic limits on your
accounts I can inform you that The Commodore Billboard has between 30-40
visitors aday. This will of course be higher for a short while, when the
news about the 17 tv-ads reaches the Commodore news sites. But then again,
not all 40 will download 5 MB video clips. And with the audio previews
available, maybe people will be more selective and not just download the
whole lot. This might help decrease traffic. By the way, you have to provide
webspace on fairly decent servers. I wouldn't want people to download the
video clips with a speed of 0.2 KB/sec. ;-))»
Any help in solving the hosting problem is much appreciated.

in the publishing of change-logs since AmigaOS 3.1 really is.
The change-logs contain changes and add-ons compared to the previous
versions of the AmigaOS. This could be helpful for the development of new software.
The logs for AmigaOS V2.0 up to V3.1 are available on every Developer CD.
According to Matt Sealey Haage & Partner declined publishing their changes on the Developer CD V2.1.
There is the possibility on http://www.starforge.co.uk/petition.html

AAA Award Canceled For The Time Being
Since 1997 the AAA Awards were given to people out of the Amiga area, among
other things for their hard- and software products. Among the award winners
have been Holger Kruse, Dave Haynie, Marcel Beck, Kermit Woodall, Stefan
Burstroem and SoftLogik. Now the awarding of this price will be canceled for the
time being. The reasons for this are too little manpower and too low support. In
the future the award may be granted again. This depends among other things on
the community and Amiga. Everybody who wants to comment on this may write
to f98-msa@f.kth.se.
The actual AAA Award Homepage at
www.aaa-awards.org
will be offline in the near future. The new one can be reached via
www.amiga-cg.se/aaaa/.

ANN Looking for Advertising Income
For financing the Amiga Network News
Christian Kemp is looking for companies to advertise on ANN. The
latest advertising banner showed only 5 US Dollars during 13 days while 50,000 page views
were counted. Costs appear to ANN among other things because of web space,
telephone (monthly around 100 US Dollars), and domain name.

Ultra Violent Worlds released
Some time ago Crystal Interactive
has announced to offer Amiga games on dual format CD-ROMs, that would contain a
version for another computer system along with the version for the Amiga. Now, with
Ultra Violent Worlds the first game of this kind has been released for the Amiga
and IBM PC compatibles.
Ultra Violent Worlds is a 2D-Shooter with vertical parallax scrolling on three
levels, background animations in arcade quality, impressive explosions and
atmospheric sound FX inclusive a matching soundtrack. Next to the 1 player mode
there's the possibility to play with two people on one split screen at the same time.
The game was developed by the Australian company Vorlan Software. The
Amiga version was already released in 1998 and contained several bugs at that
time. These were fixed in this re-release.
The Amiga version runs on any Amiga with AGA, 2MB Chip-RAM and 2MB Fast-RAM.
The PC version runs on Windows 95/98 with 8MB of free RAM.

AmigaOS 3.9 Wallpapers (Background Images)
Hello Amigans, as there's the huge amount of 4 new background images on the
AmigaOS 3.9 CD since AmigaOS3.5 I have decided to do some myself. The first
archive is already available on Aminet under pix/back/os39wallp.lha (1024x800
24Bit). A 800x600 version was just transferred onto Aminet. The 800x600 version
is named OS39w800.lha
Both archives are freeware and I allow Haage&Partner to use these.

CDTVTools v1.0 Published
CDTVTools v1.0 has been released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
This package is a collection of programs using the CDTV base library
to give also normal Amiga users the CTDTV feeling. All of the included
programs are commodities which can be controlled via Exchange. So now
everybody can e.g. start the original CDTV screen blanker, CD player or
preferences program.
The tools are basing on the CDTV basie library "playerprefs" by Commodore
which is implemented in the CDTV's ROM. Since I discovered documentations on
this library on the Developer CD v1.2, I was able to develop these tools within
two days. Of course these tools are freeware.

The Quantum Leap: StormC 4
The latest version of the successful development system actually represents a
quantum leap: network capability, shared make, CVS, modified GCC compiler for
the Amiga hunk format, global full-text search, extended editor, debugging
of tasks and shared libraries, and the new StormDOC.
But the most important feature of this new development system is the step
it takes towards the new AmigaOS. Though still everything runs on the Classic Amiga
and will be published like that, but everything was developed with easy portability
in mind. Last but not least this was the reason for a modified version of the
GCC used as compiler.

Scalos 1.2d Beta Released
A new beta version of Scalos, the extensive Workbench replacement, has been
released. The website hasn't been updated, yet. Please read the readme's
before installation!
Download:
Scalos-V1.2d.lha
Scalos-IconSystem.lha
Here the original mail:
All OS3.4+ owners will be pleased to know that a new Scalos exe has
been released! The fixes are a combined effort with the original
source from Juergen and the dedicated effort of Dave for sloggin' it
out through late nights! Until the website is updated later today you
can grab the new executable only archive from:
http://scalos.striatum.org/products/scalos/main/Scalos-V1.2d.lha
To install, simply copy the executable in the archive to SCALOS: path.
Please continue to read this email before installing anything new!
You will also need the latest (release 3) of the seperate icon system
archive
http://scalos.striatum.org/products/scalos/main/Scalos-IconSystem.lha
PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE FILES ARE STILL CONSIDERED BETA STATUS
UNTIL IT *APPEARS* EVERYBODY IS HAVING NO PROBLEMS. We appreciate error
reports to the mailing list, share your problems regarding OS3.5+ icon
images with us so we can ensure all problems are fixed.
NOTE:
We are aware that the logo in the about requester does not remap to
the correct colours currently, this is a side effect of the new 'C'
ported code for portions of Scalos. This will not affect use and we
hope to have that fixed before the next release. Which should
hopefully feature some decent bug fixes.
Ensure you backup your OLD 'Scalos' executable file before replacing
it with this new one, just incase. Once everything is finalised all beta
files will become release versions and appear in the main Scalos
distribution archive. Hey, we might even upload it to Aminet too :-)
Have fun, and lets hope all is well.
