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.

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)

Dennis "Psyria" Lohr (ANF)


R-Type Title Song as Ringing Sound for your Cell Phone
Dennis Lohr, aka Psyria, has got another licence from Chris Huelsbeck to convert one of his songs into cell phone format. This time it's the title melody of "R-Type".

For everybody who doesn't need a picture, here's the notation sequence:
4G#4, 4D#5, 4G#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5, 4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5,
2C#.5, 8D#5, 8F5, 4D#5, 4D#5, 4G#4, 4D#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5,
4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5, 2A#.5, 8G#5, 8A#5, 4G#5, 8G#5, 1P

First number: kind of the note (full, half, quarter, ...)
Letter : note height (if need be with "#" + ".")
Third number: Octave (note height)

People who'd rather see a picture can find this at Psyria on the homepage (title link) at the download area. On "www.mp3.com/huelsbeck" you can find the old pieces of Chris Huelsbeck in studio quality.

The next conversion for the handy will be "Giana Sisters". Be anxious. ;)

Psyria wrote: You have to set the speed for the song for yourself!
This is needed because every cell phone producer uses a different way for the speed display. For example: for Siemens cell phones it's 1 = slow to 30 = fast and for Nokia cell phones it's in bpm.

On Siemens cell phones it would be 7 or 8 ;) (tested on S25 & S35) (Translation: mj)

REBOL ML


REBOL: Function Dictionary, Sound Support, VID FAQ
Function dictionary
On the 10. May 2001 has REBOL Technologies released an update of the 'Function Dictionary' where the functions of the REBOL system are described. The functions are sorted by categories and alphabetically. The dictionary is available as HTML file (almost 900 KB) and in the REBOL desktop via 'REBOL.com/Ref-Make'. This script loads around 40 KB from the REBOL site and generates the file '/public/www.rebol.com/view/docs/dictionary.html' within the REBOL directory.

Sound support
REBOL/View/Pro supports from the version 1.2 on the output of sound samples. For the loading of samples is a subset of the WAV format (PCM samples with 8 or 16 Bit) supported.

The sound output is possible on the systems AmigaOS (AHI, audio.device), BeOS, Linux/x86 (Open Sound System) and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.

Further information can be taken from the REBOL sound documentation.

VID-FAQ
A faq regarding the REBOL GUI dialect 'VID' can be found via the REBOL desktop on http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.r within 'VidWiki'.

Information: REBOL
REBOL is a cross platform system developed by Carl Sassenrath (Amiga-Exec) that was first released in November 1997. The REBOL programming language allows an easy use of the internet including the programming of CGI scripts and the easy creation of GUIs.

On 24. April 2001 was REBOL/View V1.1 released. From this version on REBOL offers the REBOL desktop. This makes it possible to put REBOL scripts on every web server, so that these scripts can be called and executed via the desktop. Herewith REBOL offers similar possibilities as Java does. The examples listed on REBOL include games like Tetris and Minesweeper and tools like a pocket calculator and a script for sending e-mails. (Translation: sd)

Amiga port of SiN Finished, but...
From a posting of Ben Hermans of Hyperion Entertainment it is evident that the Amiga port of the game 'SiN' is ready but the actual Amiga hardware isn't enough to cope with the requirements of the game. The port will be hold back until the AmigaOne hits the market.

Hermans said that particularly the lower-end Blizzard acceleration cards couldn't offer the CPU speed needed for 'SiN'. (Translation: mj)

Amiga Inc. themselves want this port but for the time being there's only a reworked project manager available for the project. If you own the Amiga SDK and you'd like to bring some C++ code into the right form for the new system and want Netscape on the AmigaDE then have a look. (Translation: mj)

Intel: Itanium Set in May
Intel plans the release of the first batch Itanium chips for the end of this month. It is expected that two or three versions of this chip will arrive. One with 733 Mhz and a 800-Mhz version with 2 MB cache. A 800-Mhz version with 4 MB cache is said to come, too. Amiga should now mention whether an Itanium compatible translator (VP) is planned.

Itanium chips are 64Bit processors that can among other things manage 32 GB memory. Enough for complete websites or the content of big harddrives. IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and other big computer distributors will soon present computers with 2, 4 and even with 16 processors that for the first time will have the 64 bit Itanium chip.
