Desktop Replacement for Windows
The program "WorkbenchOnWin" (only 364kB) makes it easy to give every
Windows-Desktop the look'n feel of an Amiga-Workbench. The topical version is an
early alpha version and no emulation of an Amiga.
Download: wow.zip
I am very keen on the future versions. With some knowledge of the Windows
registry it is possible to completely replace the Windows-Desktop.

GFX Lists Reworked
The lists of games and demos supporting GFX cards has been largely reworked. The
games entries are now subdivide to categories of name, genre, and - if possible -
size, download link, and URL. The demo entries now give also information whether
the demo runs on 68k, PPC or on both CPU's. Additionally the list has grown
strong because of the help of the Amiga users. Richard would be happy, if
still more entries would be contributed to the CPU list.

Other Companies copy Amiga's and TAO's Ideas
Hendrik Mikael Kristensen
worte on ANN that on the pages of the Danish news service
SOL.dk his attention was called to the fact
that possibly other companies are desirous of copying Amiga's idea of the
"write once - run everywhere" philosophy, thus pushing Amiga out of the market even before
they get in there.
The article is talking about QualComm trying
to create a standard operating system called BREW[TM], Binary Runtime Environment,
to be used on cell phones. If you take away Wireless you (almost) have what
TAO Group is doing.
Due to QualComm's particulars this works with every device equipped with their DMA chipsets.
BREW[TM] sits between the chip system software and the application allowing programmers
to let their applications access the cell phone's functionality without having the
chip system source code or a relationship with a handset manufacturer.
QualComm want to electronically certify all BREW[TM] programs before they can run on
consumer products and ask a fee from every of those spreading such programs (cell phone
companies). Hendrik thinks this might be indicating how important this technology
will be for the future.
Read the complete article under the title link.

Interview with Patrick Roberts
Christoph Dietz has done an interview with the programmer of 'zAMilo', the HTTP server
which runs on test.amigadev.net:
Amiga-News: Hello Patrick, can you describe yourself?
Patrick Roberts: Age: 32, Born: Las Vegas, Nevada, USA, Profession: Digital Effects Supervisor. I'm currently freelance and start a film for Dreamworks in a few weeks.
Amiga-News: What is your background whith Amiga?
Patrick Roberts: I started in 1987 with a dorm-mate's A1000, then got my own A500 shortly after. As next came an A3000, and now the AmigaDE. Before Amiga, I had a C=64, Vic-20, and used to program on a PET at a local library.
Amiga-News: I can't find a program from you on Aminet. Don't you released programs for the "classic" Amiga?
Patrick Roberts: The only programs I released for the Classic were some Playstation utilities - but did so anonymously to avoid any problems with Sony. (wotizpsx, tmd2lwo, and psximgtls)
Amiga-News: When and why did you start development for AmigaDE?
Patrick Roberts: I think it was last August. Right after the SDK 1.0 was released for Linux.
Amiga-News: We can see one of your products running on test.amigadev.net. It's the webserver. Did you use an existing webserver to port to AmigaDE or is this a complete new httpd?
Patrick Roberts: "zAMilo" was written from scratch, but was inspired by a micro-http server released by Ericsson for their mobile phones. I wanted to create a very small HTTP server for the AmigaDE that could be used for configuring an embedded system with a web browser. I'd like to someday use a browser on my PC to serve my VCR, tell my coffee maker when to have a cup ready for me in the morning, etc...
Amiga-News: What does "zAMIlo" stand for?
Patrick Roberts: The Ericsson server is called 'zilo', so for proper respects I kept their name and added in the standard Amiga "AM".
Amiga-News: What is the roadmap for this product?
Patrick Roberts: As I get time I want to add basic CGI and SSI support. I'm not sure beyond that.
Amiga-News: Is this your only project for AmigaDE?
Patrick Roberts: No ;P And that's one of my problems... not enough time for all of them :) Here's a list of my projects that are available from the Amigadev.net FTP archive:
- Artix Nettext (toollib)
- Artix Systools (toollib)
- Etick (Graphical Ticker app)
- zAMilo (web server)
- forecast (world-wide weather reports)
- AmiFlag (Minesweeper type game)
- cnvtools (convert image and audio formats)
- Elate-Winease (GUI management C header library)
- memmon (Machine-languge monitor)
Here's what's in the works:
- Artix Gfxtools (toollib)
- vIcons (Vector based icon toollib)
- madplay (port of MP3 player)
Amiga-News: What do you miss most in the AmigaSDK?
Patrick Roberts: Hmmm...hard question to answer since I know it will eventually exist, but:
Hardware 3D graphics support
Good text editor like nedit
Amiga-News: Are you using the AmigaSDK for Linux or Windows?
Patrick Roberts: I have both versions for testing, but I mainly use the Linux SDK.
Amiga-News: Do you think that OS4.0 for the classic Amiga's is needed?
Patrick Roberts: I don't have a classic any more (I own one, but have loaned it to a friend). I'm mainly looking forward to AmigaDE commercial release, but it would be nice if Amiga would continue to support all the classic users.
Amiga-News: You know about the amiga community. How do you think about it?
Patrick Roberts: I'm always amazed with the knowledge level of the Amiga community. I really happy to be a part of a community with so many geniuses that I can learn from.
Amiga-News: Your "last words" to our readers?
Patrick Roberts: All of us can make it happen!

announcements. As the first of those, I would like
to introduce Matt Fontenot, Amiga's Product
Manager.
Matt has been with us from the beginning and while
you may not have met him yet, he has been working
closely with many of our third party partners and
has been busy creating many new products, as you
will soon see.
Now for the announcement:
There is tremendous potential for distribution of
your applications, games and other content for one
of the world's largest manufacturers of PDA
hardware. The projection is for more than 7
million units to be sold by the end of 2001 and
there are already several million units on the
market at this time. There will be specific
requirements as far as style, type of
applications, distribution rights and
certification of content. Matt will have more
details on this in the near future.
If you are interested in developing PDA
applications and games for a specific manufacturer
who will use Amiga Inc. for content delivery,
please contact Matt as soon as possible. This is
a serious project for those with an interest in
providing content and we will open a new mailing
list for it - the particulars will be announced in
a few days.
This project is for both open source and
commercial content providers, so no matter what
your choice of development is, you are cordially
invited to apply. To get further details, though,
you must have a signed NDA on file with Amiga.
You can get an NDA form from
www.amigadev.net under the legal menu,
right hand menu bar.
Just fill it out and fax it to my attention at 425-396-5671. Then
send an e-mail to projects@amiga.com that says "I am
interested." You can also contact Gary at
gary@amiga.com or Matt at matt@amiga.com
Sincerely,
Gary Peake
Matt Fontenot
Suplement:
Amiga, Inc. asks you not to send the above mentioned e-mail to projects@amiga.com, but to add
your e-mail address at the bottom of this
original message and
then to send it in using the "I am interested!" button.

New NetBSD Amiga Drivers
Drivers for Individual Computer's "ISDN Surfer" and Zeus Development's "ISDN Link".
The NetBSD Amiga driver for the Siemens ISDN chip-set got support for two more cards for the Zorro-bus
added.
- Individual Computer "ISDN Surfer", id 4626/5
- Zeus Development "ISDN Link", id 2189/3
Up to now already supported:
- BSC ISDN Master 2092/64
- ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1
- VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1
The interrupt level for the ISDN Surfer is software managed, other cards must be
switched to IPL 2 by jumper setting.
Closer information about the isdn4bsd configuration are to find inside of the included
electronic manual pages (man isdnd) and
here.
Those drivers as well as the entire ISDN sub-system are content of NetBSD-current,
the development part of NetBSD, and will occur in the NetBSD-1.6 release. External testers
are asked to run a release of the 1.5 part until 1.6 has been published; for 1.5 the last
released isdn4bsd-0.96_BETA is available as additional
package (but without drivers for ISDN Surfer or ISDN Link).

The 600th wins
Shortly we will have 600 entry's in our "Amiga Link Directory".
For us it is a pleasure and the reason to give away one copy of
the game "Simon the sorcerer II" to the person whomes website will make
the 600th entry.
Of course also for this reason our policy to become part of the ALD
will be the same as ever. It's not possible to get an entry if you're
simply having an Amiga at home. To make an entry in the ALD your website must
concentrate on the Amiga subject, (too). E.g. presentation of programs,
developments or your own Amiga computer.
Telling us about your website will not automatically qualify for an entry.
Until the winner was determined no new entered websites will be published
in the ALD to prevent somebody from waiting for #599.

Virtual Dimension 10th Anniversary!
Yesterday was a day to party for Virtual Dimension: their 10th anniversary!
To duly celebrate this you will happen to see several things from VD during the year.
At first there is the show-video from the World of Amiga in Cologne, which
unfortunately took some more time to be finished this year due to technical
problems - but meantime the time is right for VD to go to the studios for
speech sampling.
Congratulations to the Virtual Dimension team :-)

PicassoIV / ZorroIII Survey Project
- Who has got a ZorroIII Amiga A3000(T) or A4000(T) and a PicassoIV
graphics board and can use the PicassoIV only if it was
"forced" to ZorroII mode via jumper setting (Zorro auto detect off)?
- Who has got an A4000 with DMA capable SCSI card or an A4000T and
an elder PicassoIV with "bridge version $1" (see P4Info-Output),
running the PicassoIV trouble-less in ZorroIII mode (WITHOUT the ZorroII jumper set)?
Does one of the above apply to you? Then write to me! Contact address:
Albrecht Kinzkofer.
List as much details as possible about your Amiga hardware, even if it seems to be
unimportant:
Which model, when did you purchase it, which CPU board, which expansion boards,
which modifications done, which RAM equipment, "Buster revision, P4Info-Output, etc.
I have got such a ZorroIII problem and I'm working on a solution and looking
for "companions in trouble". If I was able to solve this problem
(assumedly by replacing two socket chips), I would try to help others concerned
(e.g. by centralized buying).
At the time being I'm doing some "basic research", hence write to me if one of
the above terms apply to you. Thank you very much. Albrecht Kinzkofer

Shared ZLib-Library for PPC
At the Aminet there now is a shared library for the popular ZLib compression (gzip)
running on 68k as well as under WarpOS! The archive can be downloaded from Aminet
under
util/libs/zlib-library.lha.
The library is freeware, source code and developer stuff for the StormC compiler are
included for interested people.
I would be pleased if the library were supported by Xarc programmers and others.
According to the PPC used speed can reach about 5 MB/s (unpacking) or 1 MB/s (!!, packing)
at packing rates up to 75% (text)!
The zlib.library also will be utilized in the new version of Digital Almanac III, cause
this will give executables about 30kB smaller than before.

GFX Lists Update
Thanks to the help of many Amiga users the lists with Amiga games and demos
supporting graphics boards could be enlarged with many entries. The layout
of this site was enhanced and designed more predictable, too.
Moreover there is a new list on the site (Amiga section) listing programs
supporting multiple CPU's (on installation). Since one often doesn't remember
which programs offer an optimized version e.g. for the 060 after the computer
was accelerated this list might be helpful.

Payback in Progress
In the current status report #18 Apex Designs announced that the new game
'Payback' will be in trade in about two weeks. At the same time a playable
demo version will be made available for download.
In an interview with the Amiga-Future the programmer James Daniels described
Payback as follows:
"The player takes the part of young driver on the run and tries to become a
big gangsters' boss. The game is completely non-linear. To finish a level
the player simply has to collect a certain amount of points. How to achieve
this is up to him-/herself.
You can act on the local Kingpins' advice, uncover secret missions or join a
gunfight. There are a lot of hidden surprises to discover, so one must play the
game several times to find all of the extras. The game was inspired by Grand Theft Auto,
but I invested much effort into the game to make sure it will lick GTA in all respects."

Descent 2 Port for Amiga
Some time ago I've started a Descent 2 port for the Amiga
(WarpUP and 68k version). Unfortunately I'm not able to
finish this port due to lack of time, cause among other things
I'm working on commercial games for the Amiga :-).
(And these are yet more important than porting an old game).
An interested programmer who would like to finish this port
may contact me at any time and receive the current source code.
Current stage:
- Crashes on leaving (and sometimes also on leaving a level,
I guess memory freed twice)
- Warp3D support comes miscoloured (but software renderer works)
- Network support doesn't work
- In case of the "Bobbing Movement" I'm not sure, if it looks like
it should do.
- Still a lot of debug output inside of the source
- Cockpit isn't displayed correctly
The code was compiled with StromC-gcc or gcc-WarpOS.

This site is a must if you would like to be informed about news all around
graphics boards.
- There is a small poll at the time being about which graphics boards Mediator should support.
- Steffen Haeuser is cited from a news group posting:
"Due to missing documentations there will not be any 3D hardware driver or Voodoo5."
- Elbox renewed the driver archive with MediatorUP 1.6, cause there was a mistake in
the old one.

Heise: Forbidden to Despair ;-)
»Who wants to vent one's displeasure by the emoticon :-( risks a draconian punishment.
Wrongdoers have to write a thousand times: ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc.".
Albeit the punishment claimed already indicates the satiric character of this action –
reality beggars all presiflage. The Despair company
really has booked the trademark ":-(" – in dependence on the smiley ":-)"
pronounced as frowny – at the US patent office
in 1998. And the office in point of fact
granted this
application in May 2000.«

3ivx, Ready for Global Television!
The video compression format '3ivX' is now officially implemented in
MooVId and
SoftCinema.
At the request of a reader here a link to a
3ivX test-movies page.
Following the complete press release:
January 29, 2001- Happy Machines releases the second preview of their
next generation video compression technology called 3ivx. Small file
size and high quality video is one part of the 3ivx advantages, the
other one is the truly multi-platform nature. This is great for video
conferencing, video-on-demand, broadband content providing,
interactive television but also for UMTS (or G3 mobile phones)
implementations.
True mutli-platform support means that it is available for
Windows: Windows Media Player plug-in or QuickTime plug-in
MacOS: QuickTime plug-in
Linux (x86, PPC) & Solaris: XAnim
BeOS: Media Player plug-in
Amiga: WarpUP (MooVId for 68k & PPC) and PowerUP (SoftCinema)
The decoder is available on the site
right now. For the moment,
however, the encoder is reserved for 3ivx partners.
"Quality and multi-platform is one thing, but particularly important
for the movie studios is encryption, watermarking and Digital Rights
Management" said Jan Devos, President of Happy Machines. "That's why
we made sure our 3ivx codec is standard compatible with most of the
encryption and DRM systems available"
"I was amazed by the quality" explained Mr. Alan Redhouse, Chairman
of the Eyetech Group.
"That's why we are bundling this codec with our
next generation AmigaOne hardware".
The current release is 5 to 20% better than the most efficient codecs
out there. In comparison with MPEG-2 that means a ratio of 1:12 while
near DVD quality. This indicates that the 3ivx video codec, while
still in development, is already one of the best.
There is a lot of interest in such a high performance codec. The 3
million page views on the 3ivx.com web-site after the first preview
release in December show that very well.
Happy Machines also referred to as the Think-Tank is a small Belgian
company representing an extremely creative team and a large
international network of inventors, software and hardware developers,
designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite
communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has
contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member
of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on
project development and related intellectual properties.

More Details on zAMilo
As already reported, "AmigaDE zAMilo V0.098" is running as http server on a test server at Amiga, Inc.. Christoph Dietz has asked Gary Peake and Götz Ohnesorge for more information about the http server 'zaMilo' utilized on test.amigadev.net:
Amiga-News: Hello Gary and Götz! It came to our attention that the webserver on test.amigadev.net is running an zAMilo. The testpage tells that the server is installed since november. Did you install it?
Gary Peake: Yes, we installed it here at Amiga Inc. on our Linux based servers running the Amiga SDK.
Amiga-News: On which OS is the system running? AmigaDE isn't running native, is it?
Gary Peake: We run Red Hat on the servers. AmigaSDK is being hosted there. zAMilo runs on AmigaSDK.
Amiga-News: What does "zAMilo" stand for? Is it a mixed up akronym for "Mozila" (with an "l" missing.)
Götz Ohnesorge: "zAMilo" is a http server written by Patrick Roberts from Atrix. You can find more about it in the programs readme:
"zAMilo is a mini-http server. The compiled lite binary is less that 4k and is very fast. It was inspired by zilo by Stefan Hellkvist which was created by Ericsson to run on their mobile phones.
zAMilo serves simple http GET requests, which is enough for most sites. It also has the ability to serve the stdout of any other tool as an html document. In this way it emulates rsh via http."
Amiga-News: The server was down on friday. Did it crash because of the attention it got? Or was it only deactivated for maintenence?
Gary Peake: We are doing a lot of changing to our servers at the moment and had to take it down for a bit. It will be up and down for the next week or two as we shift some things around.
Amiga-News: Thank you Gary and Götz for this informations!
