"Computer Zeitung" issue 16/2000
The German magazine "Computer Zeitung" 16/200 (German magazine for skilled workers
and managers in the IT business) of April 20 features an article by Marc A. Pletzer
about the faction struggles between operating systems. In a historical outline, the C128 and Atari
are mentioned, and regarding the C= computers it says: "Based on those experiences,
Commodore's programmers developed the AmigaOS, a multitasking-enabled operating system
with graphical user interface. Long before Windows NT and OS/2, this operating system
had an internal 32 bit structure as it was developed for Motorola's 32 bit chips.".
Apple is highlighted also. Later it says: "But Apple never served the mass market with
its average demands of technology. Microsoft on the contrary very much."
Linux is mentioned in an extra box, which had "a bright future": "especially in the
multimedia field, Linux is predicted first-class chances".
It's rather unusual to find articles in such publications that positively mention
alternate operating systems, accordingly the Amiga is mostly excluded from such
overviews - with the increasing acceptance of Linux and significance of multimedia
this astonishingly seems to change...

Hyperion announces their Amiga plans for 2000
In the next days, Hyperion will celebrate it's first birthday. When we started
this endeavor, it was our declared goal to bring high-quality high-end entertainment
software to the Amiga.
We believe we are on the best way to achieve this. In the last year, we created
an impressive code base, which will allow us to significantly reduce our time-to-product
in the future. This code base is now partially available for the Amiga community, too:
MiniGL, chunkyppc.library, the new Warp3D version (in cooperation with Sam Jordan) etc.
We work with two of the most inpressive 3D engines, the Quake-II and the LithTech engine.
In cooperation with Titan, we brought the Smacker Video Codec to the Amiga, a real
industrial standard. In the next months, we are ready to significantly speed up
the development cycle. This is why we want to answer some frequently asked questions.

There are still two well-payed jobs open!
Right now we are using DOpus 4, which was gratuitiously provided by GP Software,

SHARKS! CD32 edition almost finished!
For some time now I am working on a CD32 version of my game "SHARKS!". It's getting closer:
"SHARKS! CD32-Edition" will be finished in reoughly two weeks!
The CD version will offer many options to customize the game to your AMIGA. Among others,
a CD sountrack will be included as well as two other games by myself. This CD is not only
suited for the CD32, but can also be started with a "normal" AMIGA (OS2.04, 2 MB RAM &
CD-ROM). More details are available on my homepage, in the "Projekte" area.

As I promised, the new Menu system has been "finished" on Sunday. There aren't that
much functions yet aside from Start and End, but you can get a first impression of
how it will look like. The archive is available at the Lightforce site as lha archive
in three versions: full archive, program files only, graphic files only.
A word on the (bad) graphics: I urgently need an artist taking over this part.
Everybody is free to modify the graphics files (png format) and send in his version.
I will provide these versions as archives on the Lightforce download site.
