Heise: Bill Gates likes Open Source
»Bill Gates recently told that he basicly has nothing against free software: "An ecological system with free and commercial software which leaves the costumer the decision is an important and healthy ecological system". But he criticized the General Public License (GPL) because it forbid commercial enterprises to use work or to build on it which has copyrighted by the "Pac-man-like" character of this licence. What Gates understands under "Pac-man-like" he unfortunately did not told.«

Event: Benelux Amiga Show news
As already announced several times the Benelux Amiga Show in connection
with a LAN-party will take place on 23th of June in 2001 in Rotterdam
which are organized by the Dutch print magazine called ´Amiga
Scene´ and the trader ´Computer City´.
Premiere
In addition to the already mentioned highlights Hyperion will publicly
demonstrate the Warp3D on a Prometheus PCI-Board with Voodoo3 graphic
board for the first time. Ben Hermans, Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden
and Timothy de Groote are pesent.
TV
A Dutch television station will make recordings of the show and will
broadcast it in the programme '7 dagen' ('7 days'). The broadcast
will show people who keep their proper distance to Microsoft and
rather do not want something to do with it. You could not describe
the Amiga community in a better way, could you? :) (ps)

Also note that the asyncio.library is no longer required by iFusion.
Thanks to Jim/Joe for this update! :-)

Required: Amiga with OS 2.04+ (xvs.library strongly recommended)
News in v15.9:
- Added BOBEK2 linkvirus (memory removal and XFD slave to see it in files with VirusZ).

shouldn't generate any false positives.
- Kicked out TCPPATCH/S parameter in order to make place for code that kills BOBEK2 in memory.

Asyncio.library (68k+WarpOS) update
There's a new update for the asyncio.library with WarpOS support (V40.6).
Sadly the last version had the same problems in PPC writing mode than
before. This update fixes these problems so that there shouldn't be any
more lock-ups on writing with PPC.
If there shouldn't be any problems with it, this will be the last version
since there'll be no more optimizations by me that could make the
library more efficient.

Golem: Matrox Millennium G550 - Vertex Shader included
»After rumors had been around for months, Matrox Graphics Inc. has now
finally announced their long-awaited graphics card Millennium G550.
The graphics chip G550 working on it integrates as second - after the
much more expensive GeForce3 - a DirectX-8-compatible Vertex Shader.
Matrox nevertheless does not target the card at hardware for game freaks
but rather for online communication and web entertainment.«

EETimes: Startup says software translates binary code on the fly
The article, published in EETimes, deals with the announcement of an american startup. A short extract:
»LONDON - A spin-off from the University of Manchester, Transitive
Technologies Ltd., is planning to wow engineers at the Embedded Processor
Forum this week in San Jose, Calif., with its dynamic binary-translation
technology.
The San Diego company claims its Dynamite software can take binary code
ready to run on one type of processor and, on the fly, translate it into
the binary code required by another. Transitive also says that because
of optimizing routines within its software, the translated code usually
runs faster and more efficiently than the original native code.
If these claims are substantiated, Transitive could spark dramatic changes
in the way processor hardware is designed and deployed by ending the
architecture-loyalty and legacy-code issues that have dominated for the
last 20 years.«

Event: iBox at Benelux Amiga Show (update)
Beside the already reported VIP's and highlights the new IBOX will be presented.
The IBOX is some kind of special tower containing beside the normal PC-hardware an Amiga-mainboard, a modem, and some additional hardware. The PC is able to control and update Amiga-software like Scala/Mediapoint by using a special software. The IBOX is doing what the Amiga does best: loop playback. By using the PC-software everyone can use every possibility offered in the digitalmarket like webcams and digitalcameras.
This concept is currently used by many customers for example for sportbars and tourist information centers. The concept includes the possibility of updating hundrets of these boxes by pressing one button. Even a cellphone with wap-capabilities is able to start this process. A good example for the co-operation of Amiga and PC.
The concept and the IBOX were developed by www.oto-foto.nl and
www.digitalconsult.nl.
Error correction, 19 June 2001:
I misunderstood one item of Marvin's description of the iBox (Info-Box). Contrary to what is described there is no
PC hardware used in the box. It rather is fact that the customers create the info pages on common PC machines
and then those pages will be translated to Amiga language by a 'translator' which makes it possible to use
Amiga hardware in the box.
A text can be sent to the Amiga using a cell phone which then will be displayed as desired due to the background, logo,
and animation preset.

Amiga: SCSI Driver for AmigaOS4
The AmigaOne specification contain an on-board IDE controller, but
much of the Amiga users use SCSI hardware (harddrives, CD drives, scanners).
That's why Amiga Inc.plans to develop a SCSI driver for the "NCR SCSI scripts chip"
for Amiga OS4.x (today, NCR is a subsidiary company of LSI Logic).
An internal document describing the reasons why these chips have been chosen was
published on the AmigaOne mailing list (title link). The same chip was utilized
in diverse Amiga products (e.g. in newer Phase5 acceleration cards).
These chips are to be of first class at Amiga Inc. at this time, but this decision
might change if a better solution would turn out.

Warp3D: Voodoo Driver Status
Amiga Extreme has published an e-mail by Thomas Frieden (Hyperion) in which he
reports the current status of the Voodoo driver for Warp3D.
The Warp3D team converted almost everything relating the use of the FIFO command.
As the team was suggested the frame-rate now majorly is independent from the resolution.
The speed at 800x600 is exactly the same as at 320x200.
Heretic 2 is still playable at 1024x768, but the Voodoo card starts to slow down from
this resolution.
Moreover the Voodoo version looks much better than the Permedia version.
(Screenshots (left: Permedia2, right: Voodoo)).
At this time it seems like the Prometheus version of the driver would be finished first.
This might happen next week already. The G-REX and hopefully the Mediator version, too,
will follow soon after.
The Prometheus driver will be the first because of the G-REX prototype had a little
problem preventing FIFO from working. So, development was done on the Prometheus board.
Development of Warp3D now is done using the new gcc basing StormC 4 which creates fine code, already.
Additionally it enables the use of Inline assembler. By some PPC assembler optimizations the Warp3D
team now can almost fill up the bus with data to almost reach the maximum performance.
Supplement 17 June 2001:
Ben Yoris (Hyperion) wrote on
ANN that
Hyperion will do a presentation of their own games on the Prometheus PCI board with
a Voodoo3 plugged in on the Benelux Amiga Show, which will take place on June 23rd, 2001.

MUI: NList.mcc V19.99 and V19.100
Under the title link you will find the long awaited bugfix for NList.mcc
fixing the wordwrap problem.
There are also new betas with noticeable higher speed to find there.
Especially inserting/removing of a lot of entries at once takes much time
in the list-view of NList.
That's why save and management routines were optimized. With some of the
operations NList now is up to 3.5 times faster than the old version.
Even the origin must surrender for some items (factor 1.2 - 1.3). But to
compare directly is not quite fair, since NList offers a lot of features more
and therefore has to calculate more, sometimes.
Furthermore NListtree of course benefits from the new performance.

Amiga Inc. and Matay announce Cooperation for AmigaOS/4
Amiga and Matay Announce AmigaOS/4 Cooperative
Snoqualmie, 16 June, 2001 - Amiga Inc and Matay company are pleased to
announce they are co-operating on a series of initiatives that will see the
AmigaOS4 family of operating systems running on Matay's existing and future
products.
At the St Louis show in April, Amiga announced the continued development of
AmigaOS, with AmigaOS4 moving AmigaOS3 to modern hardware and preparing the
way for AmigaOS5. AmigaOS5 will be targeted at both the home server and the
desktop/workstation markets.
"In developing AmigaOS4.0, we have been making extensive use of the
Prometheus PCI bridge board, to get a head start on developing drivers for
the various sub systems whilst we wait for the Eyetech AmigaOne to be
completed," said Fleecy Moss, CTO of Amiga Inc. "The quality of both their
product and support, and their commitment to the future of the Amiga has
made working with them a pleasure, and we look forward to this co-operation
intensifying over the next few years."
"We are very excited to work with Amiga Inc., the company that leads our
community into the new technological revolution. In the incoming years, we
will witness a breakthrough in digital home appliances, a trend to abandon a
single computer workstation in favour of several smaller, yet more
user-friendly devices. The revolution is coming, though we need to prepare
for it, like the Amiga market needs transition from our classic computers to
new technologies and standards. Amiga Inc. is the company that foresees
these trends and enters the digital future today. We are proud that our
Prometheus board, the first Zorro III PCI bridge for Amiga, helps them in
making these plans come true," said Filip Dab- Mirowski, CEO of Matay
company. "We will continue co-operation with Amiga Inc., not only providing
them with hardware solutions for today Amiga market but also working
together on products for the future digital market."
About Amiga:
Amiga Inc is a privately held Seattle based digital solutions company that
revolutionised computing in 1984 with the introduction of the A1000, and has
consistently been at the cutting edge of the digital revolution ever since.
Currently it offers a complete solution for digital living, the AmigaDE
(Digital Environment) which provide a device and OS (host) agnostic,
universal, scalable content platform for OEMs and IHVs, consumers, producers
and brokers of digital content, and the AmigaOS, a 68k and PPC based
desktop, workstation and digital server platform for the most demanding of
activities. The AmigaDE is currently being deployed on a variety of major
cell phone, PDA, Set Top Box, Console, Digital Appliance and existing
personal computer platforms. AmigaOS4 is expected to be launched in 3Q2001,
running on the new AmigaOne computer. For further information, please email
press@amiga.com,
support@amiga.com or telephone
(US) 425 396 5660.
About Matay:
Matay company is a privately held computer business oriented company. It was
founded in 2000 as an Amiga-only software dealer and in a very short time
earned trust of Polish Amiga users. With the introduction of Prometheus PCI
bridge for Zorro III equipped Amigas, Matay has extended its offer with
hardware solutions for the Amiga platform and professional electronic design
of printed-circuitboards. Now, with the announcement of close co-operation
with Amiga Inc., Matay enters a domain of digital appliances, which is
predicted to be the future of home and business computing around the world.

#AmigaFun: HBMonopoly online game
The #AmigaFun IRC channel on ie.altnet.org organizes and manages the second
official HBMonopoly game of this month. It will take place on June 16th starting
6:00 pm.
The programmer of HBMonopoly will participate as well. HBMonopoly 2.6 is required.
This version will be available from some people on the #AmigaFun channel should
it not already be on the homepage.
The server which have to be configured in HBMonopoly will be named on the #AmigaFun
channel. Important: you have to know how HBMonopoly works. We'll only explain how
to log in. We'll assume that you have played at least one, two times against the
computer.
In future we'll organize more HBMonopoly games. There's already a #AmigaFun-internal
highscore list which you can have a look at on the #AmigaFun homepage. It will also
contain the top 5 of all HBMonopoly games we'll organize in the future.
It is possible that after some games there'll be a surprise for the best gamer. The
first HBMonopoly game starts Saturday June 16th, 2001 at 6:00 pm. Please note that
Monopoly may take several hours, so you should have a full version of your TCP client
(Miami, Genesis).
You'll find our #AmigaFun channel as follows:
You need an IRC client. For the Amiga there are AmIRC (shareware), BlackIRC (freeware)
and EpicIRC (freeware). On our homepage, you'll find download links. You just have to
enter:
Server: ie.altnet.org
Port: 6667
Channel: #amigafun
Should the server be down you can get access through the following server:
12.30.169.83 (please enter without "irc.").
You can find more information, especially for IRC novices, on the #AmigaFun homepage.
On this occasion I'd like to say that the homepage was entirely redesigned. You
can choose between German and English language.

Demoscene disk mag: Devotion#2 released
Last night the second issue of the English Amiga demoscene disk mag "Devotion"
has been released.
Experts of the scene will compare this issue with the 'Creme de la creme'
and find that Devotion has everything which made classics like RAW, ROM
or GENERATION special. For novices and those interested in the demoscene
the magazine is recommended also. SCENET has the magazine available for
download since it's available nowhere else.

Music: DARKAGE releases fix for LEGALIZE IT 2
The group Darkage, known in the Amiga demo scene for their intros, demos
and their disk mag Showtime, released yesterday a fix for the music disk
"Legalise it". This music disk was originally released in the early nineties
by the lengendary group Anarchy.
The programmer Reinhold "Stingray" Kloth has reworked the entire sourcecode
and allows owners of modern Amigas to experience the feeling of the demo
scene from 1992. SCENET hosts also the sixteenth issue of the English disk
mag 'Showtime' which is available here.

RC5-64 contest: Half-time! (Update)
The Amiga RC5 team participates now for four years in this worldwide contest
to crack a 64 bit key. That requires calculating up to 18,4 trillion possible
keys. Half of the total key count has now been calculated. The Amiga RC5 team
did not get lucky after 1331 days, but are currently advancing 2,5 times
faster than the average for the first half, and chances of finding the key
before the whole keyspace is searched are progressively getting better and
better.
The Amiga RC5 team is on rank 7 of thousands of teams and has more than 2500
participants with more than 5000 computers. Read the entire
press release
for more details.

PC: ADF view
The ADF View is a Shell Namespace extension, which opens up the .ADF file
extension. ADF files are Amiga Disk Files, or image dumps of AmigaDOS
formatted disks. These files are used by most Commodore Amiga emulator
software.
Because ADF View is a namespace extension, it is integrated right into
the Windows Explorer. Double-clicking on an ADF file brings up the
familiar folder view, where you can copy, move, delete, recover and
rename files as you would usually do with normal PC files. You can
also drag'n'drop files from any Windows folder to an ADF folder, and
back.
ADF View works with Amiga floppy images and hard disk images. It even
detects Amiga hard drives attached to your computer and adds a new drive
icon to the "My Computer" folder under Windows NT/2000.
New and empty disk images can be created using a Wizard under the Shell
New commands (The File/New sub-menu in the Windows Explorer).

(New) informations on GREX 4000 and MicroServer
René Thol has received some interesting informations from DCE on the G-Rex 4000 board
and summarizes:
- the GREX 4000 is ready, they're waiting only for the boards from the manufacturer.
- the GREX 4000 replaces the the daughterboard (ISA-, ZIII- and videoslots) on the motherboard and is connected with the port for the CVPPC on the Cyberstorm board.
- the TV board drivers for the GREX are still in the works and are thus no longer mentioned in the GREX advertising since only finished drivers are advertised there.
- AGP extensions are not planned. The AGP slots of the AmigaOne will also work only through PCI with the resulting speed.
- The planned DCE Microserver will be plugged later in one of the PCI slots and features two SDRAM slots with 133 MHz bus speed. It can be used as busmaster and has access to the entire Amiga hardware. Sadly, a Cyberstorm board already working in the Amiga has still to be used
and its processors can not access the SDRAM (buswidth through PCI too narrow). Because of a CPU socket, more current CPUs than the G3/G4 can be used later. Existing PPC applications won't run immediately on the new CPUs (due to addressing and such) but have to be be adapted through (minor) changes in the sourcecode and a special library.

Heise: mp3PRO: MP3 Successor joining the Race
»Since today, 14th June, the first official demo version of the designated
MP3 successor mp3PRO is available for free download on Coding Technologies' website.
The "RCA Demo mp3PRO Player/Encoder 1.0" plays Mp3(PRO) files as well as wav-files.
The latter can also be converted to the new mp3PRO format at a non-varying bit-rate
of 64 kbit/s. The new and downwards compatible format augurs a substantial better
quality of sound at low bit-rates, due to "spectral band replication" (SBR).

Back to the Roots: Download Hours Fixed
BTTR downloads now disabled 2/3 of each day!
Our archive files will only be available for download from
06:10 to 13:10 GMT (may vary), but they should work at full
speed then. We are not happy about this, but unless we find
some sponsors, we have to prevent our archive from being closed
down by this action. If we find we can extend the times outward
more, we will.
The entire content of the site (except all downloads, full-size
pictures and the mod player) will continue to work the entire
day. The same applies to the Aminet downloads, as they are not
stored on these servers.
If you are willing to help us by either donating money to pay
parts of our traffic, by purchasing targeted advertising at our
site or by providing us a fast dedicated *nix server somewhere
else, please contact traffic@back2roots.org.
Several thousand people visit this site each day, and create
the enormous traffic together. Some download more, some download
less. It would be nice if a few of you could also help us to keep
this monster comfortable for people of all time zones.
Many of you have surely noticed that most of the gaming archive
sites were closed down recently. These sites all paid their
traffic by advertising. So did we. However, this does not work
for archive sites anymore, since advertising prices dropped
horribly worldwide.
We have several ideas in the queue to find an income to finance
this site for your convenience. Just none which will work fast
enough. So please also contact us if you want to provide temporary
help.
To all companies who have licensed games to be offered at our
site for free: BTTR will continue to be a non profit project,
and we did never earn a single pence with it, and we will
continue to do so.

New Screenshots of the AmigaDE GUI
Under the title link there is a posting by Fleecy Moss (AmigaOne mailing list) along
with several pictures attached to the mail.
Matt Chaput (together with other people) in deed has been authorized to design the new
GUI.
Fleecy explained that "of course these still are prototypes and eventually will be 'skinnable'
(configurable with skins). But the pictures should give a good impression of where things are
going".
Update: (08.08.2012, cg)
Added the two screenshots mockups that could still be found on the net. (ps)
