Geek Gadgets-Server with new IP
This is an important update concerning the GeekGadgets' servers.
Over the next few days the GeekGadgets project will be moving to a
new IP address [64.232.230.106]. A temporary disruption in service
may occur due to propagation delays in the various Domain Name
Servers, but nothing to be alarmed about. If you do experience
problems, you can use the IP
(64.232.230.106)
temporarily until the DNS hosts get caught up.

Programmers for Internet Software Project Wanted
Achim Stegemann wrote:
Programmers wanting to participate in a software project for the Amiga are
wanted.
The project's focus is to program a shared library to make developing of
Internet programs easier for less experienced programmers.
Many of us know the problem: One would like to load a file from the Internet via
FTP or HTTP protocol with his own program, but doesn't know the respective
procedure or addressing bsdsocket.library is too complicated cause you don't know
the commands needed. In such cases diverse source codes from Aminet or Linux sources
offer only limited help.
The library (maybe by the name of ftp.library ?) would do all this work for the
programmer. For example it should be easy to access files on FTP servers by
"FTP_Directory", "FTP_Open", "FTP_Read", "FTP_Write", and "FTP_Close"
(function names are possible examples). Similar should be possible for
HTTP or other protocols (e.g. e-mail communication).
The library is meant to become freeware to make it available for any program
developer. Anybody conversant with the use of BSD socket commands and
Internet protocols wanting to participate in this project is called to
contact me via e-mail

asyncio.library for WarpOS Update
There now is an update for the asyncio.library for WarpOS in version v40.4.
The update fixes a exception handler hit under WarpOS v5 as far as the handler
was activated (thanks to Oliver Roberts).
The update can be downloaded from the download section on the homepage.
It was also uploaded to Aminet and should be available there, soon.
Furthermore developers utilizing the PPC functions of asyncio.library (WOS)
might contact Achim Stegemann for
exchange of experience.

Simon 2001 V2.1
Simon is a small classic computer game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and
sounds. This is a small update and re-compilation of an old routine written by BoingWorld editor: Richard
'DawnBringer' Fhager.
Simon2001: Is a remake of an old classic game where the objective is to repeat an ever
growing sequence of lights and sounds. Download it here.
I played a version of this game on the C64 --- and while I could never repeat more than
15-20 steps I had a friend that managed almost 70!!! (I have 100 steps in this game) --- If
you can top this or even get close to my friends "record": Please, mail me, and let me know!
This was originally an old game I wrote back in '91. I added a nicer interface in '97. This
version (v2.1, Feb 2001) is slightly polished and recompiled.

AROS News
AROS, the open source project to implement a portable AmigaOS is progressing.
Most remarkable innovation is the finished locale preferences program by
Georg Steger. There is also a
screenshot
of this preferences. Additionally there is a demo showing the use of the
cool_buttonclass for Georg Steger's coolimages-Library.
The fractal program 'XaoS' (contrib section) needs topaz/8 font, hence it doesn't
work correctly any more since AROS now utilizes a proportional font.
Johan Alfredsson has corrected an error in C:SetKeyboard and in the RAM handler.
IPrefs now can use notification in ENV:Sys/ to update the settings.
Thanks to Stefan Berger is now is possible to abort packets sent to the filesystem.

New Syntax Parser for GoldED Studio 6
A new syntax parser for GoldED Studio 6 is available for download at the
title link.
The syntax parser is based on Dietmar Eilert's source code. Some bugs were
fixed and new functions were added:
- recognition of script tags: PHP, ASP, JSP and Java-Script
- within those, the program code is displayed similar to C/C++ (special

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - AmigaKonto full version
By authority of Adreas Regul the program AmigaKonto is ready for
free download. AmigaKonto was developed for management of
accounts. Especially for bank giro accounts with many movements
one quickly forfeits summary in verifying recurrent money transfers.
Therefore AmigaKonto first of all serves as a special kind of
database for managing the different transfer orders. By
various selection and statistic functions then it is possible to
address single positions well directed.
Full benefit is to achieve in collecting account data over several years
to have comparison values at hand enabling you to get a quick summary
by use of the selection functions.
Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is
without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of
Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation,
so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to
Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are
talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.
Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody
at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.
Supplement 02 March 2001
On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no
loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older
buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or
could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!

New Strategy Game Planned
Alien Imperium is supposed to become a network and Internet game which is supposed to support several
operating systems, because it will be programmed in Java. It will be made in co-operation of
Amig@lien with AccM Software Allianz.
In this space strategy game you have to be superior in technology and tactics to other races.
For instance you can invent a lot, but you can also enter alliances as well as other contracts.
Everybody who liked Imperium Terranum will be fine with this game. This game will be delivered on CD-ROM
and will certainly be released for the AmigaOne, but also a classic-Amiga version is planned. We hope
you are already excited.
Here is a hint for all who cannot wait for it: We hope to be able to show a graphic and sound presentation
to the computer revolution 2001. (Ricco Clemens)
Those ones who want to support the project "Alien Imperium" should mail to AccM or Amig@lien. We are
grateful for each help! Manfred Rauer (POI)

opendivx.library, which is a shared library for 68k and WarpUP systems for replaying OpenDivX animations,
has been finished and can be downloaded on www.projectmayo.com.
It has been already released a special version of Moovid which uses opendivx.library (because Moovid is
commercial, this special version only plays OpenDivX; you must have the full version for playing
different formats).
The opendivx.library archive contains also information for programmers how to use opendivx.library in
own projects.

New Developer in NetBSD Team
Jukka A Andberg has been included in the NetBSD-team. He has written a first (still incomplete) version
of a wscons[1]-driver for NetBSD/Amiga and will now complete it.
Wscons is the console driver interface which does not depend on the machine and which is already in use
on many NetBSD-architectures. It enables virtual switching consoles and makes the simultaneous use of
text consoles and X11-screen(s) possible which is a characteristic not included in the ite- (Internal Tty-Emulator)
system which is used in NetBSD/Amiga, so far.

Appeal to Rainboot Users
There will be some decisive changes in the next version of Rainboot for users of graphic boards. Because
I have not a CGfx or a Picasso96 system and I have got some messages that there are still some problems
with Rainboot. Though it works generally, I ask all who are still having problems with Rainboot on Cgfx/P96
to contact me in order to be able to fix those. Thanks a lot!

Confusion about Proceedings Against Met@box
»Currently a report of the stock exchange information service Prior produces some confusion.
Referring to this the public prosecution Frankfurt investigates the set-top-box producer Met@box
from Hildesheim because of the suspicion of manipulation of the stock exchange.
Already at the beginning of the year the business offices of the company has been investigated.
At inquiry the public prosecution Frankfurt referred to their colleague in Hildesheim; the supreme
public prosecutor Seemann confirmed that a proceedings was carrying out but refused to give
further information.
Instead of that he referred to the public prosecution Hannover which did not make a comment as well as
Prior himself: "The chief is in vacancy", was the answer at inquiry from Heise online.«

New PlayGUI Version and Special Version
From my homepage (Amiga/Projects/PlayGUI) a new version of PlayGUI can
be downloaded from today. (Unfortunately still not from the PlayGUI page due
to a server problem.)
PlayGUI is a all-around play GUI for mods, midis, Mp3s, and samples with many
features which can be embellished with skins and themes.
Changes:
- Bugfix: slider gadgets are displayed at the right position, now.
- Bugfix: sample-buffer showed 0 if it were set to maximum.
- Bugfix: GMPlay filter didn't work - this function has been removed
- The menus have been switched to upper- /lower case for easier reading
- Font problem fixed
- No more 3D frames for the skin
Moreover there is a 7MB special version of PlayGUI on my homepage containing
the latest version and additionally all of the skins and themes available
at this time. 90% of these are not to find at Aminet.

maybe gives wrong results of the keys.
»Obviously there is a bug in all 2.8012 clients (build466) that put out wrong results.
D.Net recommends to use version 2.8010(build 463). It is unknown if this bug is
in RC5, OGR, or both. It is also unknown if the latest Amiga client 2.8011 contains
this bug, too. At this time I recommend to use build 463 from this
download area.
More information will follow wen available.«

Version 2.15 beta of SecondSpin was released.
Many minor and some major bugs were removed but the prefs window will still cause
