AmigaOS Change-Logs Release Campaign
Matt Sealey started a petition to find out how big the common interest in the publishing of change-logs since AmigaOS 3.1 really is.

The change-logs contain changes and add-ons compared to the previous versions of the AmigaOS. This could be helpful for the development of new software.

The logs for AmigaOS V2.0 up to V3.1 are available on every Developer CD. According to Matt Sealey Haage & Partner declined publishing their changes on the Developer CD V2.1.

There is the possibility on http://www.starforge.co.uk/petition.html to sign a petition.

AAA Award Canceled For The Time Being
Since 1997 the AAA Awards were given to people out of the Amiga area, among other things for their hard- and software products. Among the award winners have been Holger Kruse, Dave Haynie, Marcel Beck, Kermit Woodall, Stefan Burstroem and SoftLogik. Now the awarding of this price will be canceled for the time being. The reasons for this are too little manpower and too low support. In the future the award may be granted again. This depends among other things on the community and Amiga. Everybody who wants to comment on this may write to f98-msa@f.kth.se.

The actual AAA Award Homepage at www.aaa-awards.org will be offline in the near future. The new one can be reached via www.amiga-cg.se/aaaa/.

Second SimpleMail Alpha Released
On January 14th, 2001 Hynek Schlawack and Sebastian Bauer have released the second alpha version of the email client 'SimpleMail'. Compared to the previous version the following has changed:
  • New: image buttons.
  • New: showing of HTML mails (using internal routines lent from SimpleHTML).
  • New: mails with different mode possible.
  • New: showing of mail threads.
  • New: index files for folder.
  • Change: better address book.

SimpleMail can be found under http://www.schlawack.net/simplemail/. There are also screenshots of the software on this site.

The authors hope for this second version receiving a little bit more feedback as they got for the first one and point out that the alpha state refers to functionality, but by no means to stability.

ANN Looking for Advertising Income
For financing the Amiga Network News Christian Kemp is looking for companies to advertise on ANN. The latest advertising banner showed only 5 US Dollars during 13 days while 50,000 page views were counted. Costs appear to ANN among other things because of web space, telephone (monthly around 100 US Dollars), and domain name.

Amiga Flame News


Ultra Violent Worlds released
Some time ago Crystal Interactive has announced to offer Amiga games on dual format CD-ROMs, that would contain a version for another computer system along with the version for the Amiga. Now, with Ultra Violent Worlds the first game of this kind has been released for the Amiga and IBM PC compatibles.

Ultra Violent Worlds is a 2D-Shooter with vertical parallax scrolling on three levels, background animations in arcade quality, impressive explosions and atmospheric sound FX inclusive a matching soundtrack. Next to the 1 player mode there's the possibility to play with two people on one split screen at the same time.

The game was developed by the Australian company Vorlan Software. The Amiga version was already released in 1998 and contained several bugs at that time. These were fixed in this re-release.

The Amiga version runs on any Amiga with AGA, 2MB Chip-RAM and 2MB Fast-RAM. The PC version runs on Windows 95/98 with 8MB of free RAM.

Hello Amigans, as there's the huge amount of 4 new background images on the AmigaOS 3.9 CD since AmigaOS3.5 I have decided to do some myself. The first archive is already available on Aminet under pix/back/os39wallp.lha (1024x800 24Bit). A 800x600 version was just transferred onto Aminet. The 800x600 version is named OS39w800.lha Both archives are freeware and I allow Haage&Partner to use these.

CDTVTools v1.0 Published
CDTVTools v1.0 has been released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. This package is a collection of programs using the CDTV base library to give also normal Amiga users the CTDTV feeling. All of the included programs are commodities which can be controlled via Exchange. So now everybody can e.g. start the original CDTV screen blanker, CD player or preferences program.

The tools are basing on the CDTV basie library "playerprefs" by Commodore which is implemented in the CDTV's ROM. Since I discovered documentations on this library on the Developer CD v1.2, I was able to develop these tools within two days. Of course these tools are freeware.

In release 1.0.1. of the KICKSTART ARCHIVES beside of some smaller changes in particular the PDF files of the patent history have been re-converted and can be read trouble-free with Apdf v2.2, now too.

THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES due to quality problems in the beginning will be written on blanks of the type TDK CD-R74CMEC and shipped in a bubble wrapped envelope.

Since all of the specimen copies are out, we can now care for the orders very fast.

Thomas Unger (Kickstart@nexgo.de) is always all ears for hints on interesting websites still missing on the CD-R. If these match the concept of the KICKSTART ARCHIVES, he will contact the owners.

The Quantum Leap: StormC 4
The latest version of the successful development system actually represents a quantum leap: network capability, shared make, CVS, modified GCC compiler for the Amiga hunk format, global full-text search, extended editor, debugging of tasks and shared libraries, and the new StormDOC.

But the most important feature of this new development system is the step it takes towards the new AmigaOS. Though still everything runs on the Classic Amiga and will be published like that, but everything was developed with easy portability in mind. Last but not least this was the reason for a modified version of the GCC used as compiler.

playamiga.de - News About the Reorganisation
The renewal of playamiga.de comes to figures. The popular company Synotec will care for the re-design. Since there should not only be optical changes, but also changes of the contents we need your help.

Some questions were worked out for a completely new rating system. If you would like to help with this, just send an e-mail to Juergen A. Theiner and you will get the questions in return. Many thanks in advance and already look forward to the announcement of: 'playamiga.de becomes Play!Amiga'

Scalos 1.2d Beta Released
A new beta version of Scalos, the extensive Workbench replacement, has been released. The website hasn't been updated, yet. Please read the readme's before installation!

Download:
Scalos-V1.2d.lha
Scalos-IconSystem.lha

Here the original mail:
All OS3.4+ owners will be pleased to know that a new Scalos exe has been released! The fixes are a combined effort with the original source from Juergen and the dedicated effort of Dave for sloggin' it out through late nights! Until the website is updated later today you can grab the new executable only archive from:
http://scalos.striatum.org/products/scalos/main/Scalos-V1.2d.lha

To install, simply copy the executable in the archive to SCALOS: path. Please continue to read this email before installing anything new! You will also need the latest (release 3) of the seperate icon system archive
http://scalos.striatum.org/products/scalos/main/Scalos-IconSystem.lha

PLEASE REMEMBER THAT THESE FILES ARE STILL CONSIDERED BETA STATUS UNTIL IT *APPEARS* EVERYBODY IS HAVING NO PROBLEMS. We appreciate error reports to the mailing list, share your problems regarding OS3.5+ icon images with us so we can ensure all problems are fixed.

NOTE:
We are aware that the logo in the about requester does not remap to the correct colours currently, this is a side effect of the new 'C' ported code for portions of Scalos. This will not affect use and we hope to have that fixed before the next release. Which should hopefully feature some decent bug fixes.

Ensure you backup your OLD 'Scalos' executable file before replacing it with this new one, just incase. Once everything is finalised all beta files will become release versions and appear in the main Scalos distribution archive. Hey, we might even upload it to Aminet too :-) Have fun, and lets hope all is well.

PC Manufacturer Gateway Cancels Every 10th Job
Onlinekosten.de wrote:
«The US computer manufacturer Gateway after unexpected deficit cancels more than every tenth job. As the company announced on Thursday (local time) in San Diego, California, job slashing would go off already during the first quarter this year, Gateway employed 19,300 people worldwide in 1998. The offeror specialized in direct shipping of PCs announced a deficit of 94,3 millions of US dollar for 4Q/2000, because of diclined demand and risen pricing pressure. »

Heise wrote:
«More than 10 % of staffers of the oppressed PC manufacturer Gateway will loose their jobs: this is a consequence which Gateway drew from extremely base balance for the 4th quarter. Balance was even worse than expected after the profit caution from late November when Gateway stated to be in the red in the 4th quarter.»

Due to great demand now there is an updated archive of the Mini GlowIcons, and an special archive for WB2000 users who can only use IFF-pictures with this program. If number of downloads, which you can reach via "Aktuelles", will keep on this high level there will be new icons added.

Fun Time World


"Die Welt": How The Chips Learned Being Noisy
"Until 1985 acoustical there was no alteration according to the standard of computer sound which was introduced by C64. To this time Atari had the idea of producing an home computer Atari ST equip with a MIDI-interface. This Musical Instrument Digital Interface made it possible to control electronic music instruments like keyboards with the computer. Atari ST was the first computer in series that used this possibility and made the data exchange between computer and music instruments possible. The built-in 8-Bit-sound-chip had only the ability of producing three mono voices, but the main processor worked perfectly together with the MIDI-interface. Musicians from all over the world recognized the future of computer music and almost each sound studio connected its mixing desk with an Atari ST. Since the early nineties a MIDI-interface was standard for sound cards.

Two years after the introduction of the ST, in 1987, Commodore set a new standard for music computers with the Amiga 500 for the mass market: four-channel-stereo was the new standard. Programming of music directly in the computer was now possible without expensive equipment. For a long time this was the greatest advantage of the Amiga towards other computers. Because of that and because of its great graphical abilities it was the game computer at all."

Also in the today`s `Die-Welt`-article Concerto Commodore it is reported of the musical abilities of the C64.

NVidia OS Opinion Poll
There is an opinion poll at the NVidia news site in the left menu about the preferred operating system. The Amiga is also on the list and is currently on the third place with 17,99 % after BeOS and Windows.

Supplement 11.01.2001:
The opinion poll has been canceled because the voting was falsified by scripts which vote again and again. The script-kids do not have the faintest idea which harm they make!

Picture Supplement regarding WoA 2000
Mirko Nauman has sent us a whole lot of pictures from the WoA2000. Unfortunately we cannot publish all of these, cause 34 MB are simply way too much. We selected the nicest pictures and made a little catalog out of these which you can find here.

This is how the pictures were taken:

Mirko filmed on the show with his MiniDV video camera SONY DCR-TRV8E and then connected this camera via SVHS cable to his second Amiga with PicassoIV and PalomIV TV module. As his camera takes 25 frames per second he had to select and save the best pictures. Then he converted the pictures saved before to JPEG using the picture format converting software GfxCon by Dirk Farins.
