ParaGlide News
According to an e-mail I recieved from Villagetronic, the Amiga section has been
placed into competent hands:
"The Paraglide will be finished and produced by the developers themselves. (...) For
more detailed information please ask burkert@sophisticated-development.de.
So perhaps something will happen within this year for the 3D hardware accelerator for the
PicassoIV. Blittersoft already accepts
preorders for the card.

WarpGIF-Datatype Bugfixes
There is a major bugfix for WarpGIF-DT (v40.2), which fixes most of the known bugs.
- corrupted pictures resulted in a crash due to a bug in the program
- transparency now supported, IBrowse displays the correct pictures
- the first frame should be loaded and displayed for most GIF anims
- Only the global color palette is loaded right now, the local color palette is skipped
- the OM_UPDATE method might return an undefined value occassionally, but this doesn't cause
troubles until now

Web Survey: Windows Way Ahead
As an exception we are citing the entire article from Heise.
«With the
survey on the best operating system
at MSNBX things turned in a wonderfull way. On Friday morning Linux still was ahead with 28% of 18,500 votes,
as reported, and now the percentage of votes for the
free operating system decreased to 3% of 384,848 votes, untill Sunday evening.
This survey took a curious way: Linux had its grand level at about 03:00 AM with 39%, of the up to that time given 29,100 votes
a number of 11,350 belonged to the free operating system. Within the following 20 hours 126,500 votes more were given, of
which only 800 voted for Linux (0.6%), stunningly. By that the percentage of votes for Windows 95/98/ME, as well as for
NT/2000 was dubbled. Now some are getting suspicious
that there must have happened some manipulation. Don't trust any statistics you didn't faked yourself....
»
Supplement 09-19-2000: Andreas Mixich via eMail
Microsoft accepted that the survey was manipulated and in the meantime it was removed leaving the following note:
EDITOR'S NOTE:
Sept. 18 MSNBC has removed the Live Vote originally published with this story due
to what appeared to be electronic ballot stuffing. The Live Vote, which asked readers
which personal computer operating system they think is the best, received a large
influx of votes in the past few days, skewing the results. MSNBC has removed the Vote
in light of this. MSNBC Live Votes are not scientifically valid surveys.

COMA, Is That a Virus?
NO! COMA is the name of the new clubmagazin (German) of the "Allgemeiner ComputerClub Magdeburg" (AccM).
Presumably it will be published on the 7th of october 2000 at our homepage. The first issue will
feature a report about the exhibition in Neuss, a HTML-Tutorial and much more. But it should not
be a AccM-Magazin only, everyone who wants to write something is invited to write articles.
The articles could be about new hardware, commentaries about up-to-date problems, jokes,
comicstrips or what ever you would like to write about.
And because we are a general computer club you do not have to write about Amiga the articles
can even be about PC or MAC or any other computer or OS. The last date for articles for issue
number 2 is the 1st october 2000. But we are still looking for authors for the upcoming issues.

WarpGIF-Datatype
The first GIF datatype for WarpOS is now freely available for all PPC-Amigas.
After datatypes for JPEG and PNG under WarpOS (done by Oliver Roberts and Andreas Kleinert)
this datatype now closes the gap for the widely spread GIF format.
According to Achim Stegemann this GIF datatype is speedwise around twice as fast as the original Gif-DT of the OS 3.5.
At the moment only OS 3.1 and 3.5 are supported. OS 3.0 follows later on.
For further information (and download) see titlelink.

"Amiga Games") are now ready for download.
Further on other games, for example "Dungeon Krampfer", "Thromulus" and others,
have been added.
Besides these credits concerning around 200 more Amigagames were integrated in

Since today our hardware dictionnary is online at last, where every

exist for Amiga.
Should there be a lack of important information or you have some ideas and
suggestions concerning these sites, then please write an email to support@vmc.de
If you know a Linux or NetBSD programmer who is capable of porting drivers to
one of these systems or, even better, has already written successfully own
drivers, then inform him kindly about our new dictionnary pages with the request
for a port of the missing drivers. We'll give as much technical help as is possible
to everybody who wants to do this.
I think, with your support we'll be able to point all waiting users to new
drivers for Linux and NetBSD.

regularly up to date. So a new and more dynamic Website was developed.
This can be reached at the known URL:

For its use a browser with IFRAME-support is needed.
For the creating of this page help is looked for. Everybody with interest in

And again the AmigaNG programs overview was updated (dated: 17.9.2000) and
contains now all programs that were released since the appearing of the
AmigaSDK.
Since the last update 3 programs were added, so that now 70 NG programs are
registered.
From now on the AmigaNG programs overview will be updated every sunday. I ask you
to consider this.
Urgently german owners of the AmigaSDK are wanted to write reviews about some of
the already released NG programs or to introduce NG programs.
Furthermore we search owners of the new d'AMIGA to introduce this also with a detailed
review.
To speed up the development of programs for the AmigaNG programmers are
wanted who can create a comprehensive workshop about the programming using the
new AmigaSDK.

HyperCOM Magic Update with IOBlix Emulation
Beta-test HyperCOM 2.96B1 Magic-Update
With the new HypeCOM update we are making a lot of new functions official at once, hence there
is a big chance for problems to occur which we did not realise up to now.
As substitute for the old SilverSurfer software we are now officially offering a support via the
hyperCOM1.device from version v2.96B1, which has been enhanced or made faster in all parts compared to
the old silversurfer.device.
On of the most important new functions now is an implemented IOBlix software emulation, which allows some
programs and drivers to be used with the extremely compatible HyperCOM boards, at last.
Here are some examples on what already works:
- ScanQuix5 parallel Scanner-Support
- Camouflage 8x parallel Midi-Interface
- RBM AmStrong USV
- IOBlix ioblixzip.device for IO-Mega parallel ZIP-Drives
Within the next days the technical part of the emulation will be enhanced further, so that
surely even more applications and drivers can be used with the HyperCOM boards.
ATTENTION!
In order to be able to use the IOBlix software emulation the vmcresource.library must be loaded
by one of our drivers (hyperCOMx.device oder hyperPAR.device)!

AROS - Status
AROS (Amiga Research OS), the system independent open source new implementation of the AmigaOS
is now bootable as the native version, and one can already do mouse moving on the screen.
Since there still is no filesystem no programs can be executed. Currently it is being tried to
get the source code of SFS; the author was positive about this idea, but first wants to fix some bugs.
More details, e.g. the trial to port AROS to UAE using JIT, you can find at the titlelink.

Back to the Roots Amiga-News
With the today update at "Back to the Roots" we are proving that this site
is something for everybody worldwide, no matter which land you are from or which
language you are speaking - there is something for everybody who is interested in
Amiga, Amiga emulations or the demo scene!
We are able to present both of the Spanish adventure games, "La Aventura Original" and
"La Diosa de Cozumel" from Aventuras AD. From Denmark comes the funny Troll "Hugo" who
might especially please kids, while the French company Lankhor provides us with both, the
German and English version of the classic "Mortville Manor", and with "Black Sect" they even gave
an absolut rarity in addition. And as a special surprise there now is even the CD32 version
of the classic adventure "Beneath a Stell Sky" for free and legal download. And as always, we
only told about some of the new games.
Of course, as absolute demo freaks we never would forget the demo scene with our updates.
Therefor there are among others two brand-new demos from Scoopex and Spaceballs for the - you
listen and are astonished - Amiga500 for download! Furthermore many classic demos and newer demos
for ECS+AGA Amigas/emulators were added.
For the friends of music among us there is a big Jesper Kyd Special - the well known musician of the
group "The Silents". From Hannes Seifert (Whale's Voyage) or Matthias Stenzhorn (Brainman) comes
music from computer games. We even were able to find a remix of the popular music from Monkey Island 2.
And the graphisc fetishists should have a look at the marvelous pictures by scene artists like Flood,
Nomad or Acryl.
That's all for today. Have a lot of fun with the new "food".

European Parlament are giving a favourable opinion on Software-Patents
«The board of directors of the european parlament (EPA) have given a favourable opinion on an unrestricted possibility to
patent software. According to the Handelsblatt
the authority recommends to withdraw the stipulation that computer applications "as such" are not possible
to patent from the European Patent Agreement.
.»
«Programmers of free software, as well as smaller software companies are against software patents,
cause potential danger of patent suits by big companies would make their work practically impossible.
These a days big American companies are already saving a lot of patents on partly
trivial developments - they are doing so also to
resist against other companies upbraiding patent violation. But free developers and small companies are not in funds to
use such a strategy. Thus they have started an
Allianz against Software-Patents.»
I realy recommend everybody, who is interested in that also small software companies can continue to work without
allways being afraid of patent suits, to participate in the
Petition against Software-Patents by voting. Up to now there have been
38,478 votes! (ps)

Earth 2140
epic interactive announces portation to the Amiga of the successful realtime strategy game "Earth 2140".
epic has got the license from Topware Interactive AG to port one of the most popular realtime strategy game
for Windows to Mac and Amiga. The Amiga version is currently at an early beta state and release is estimated for
early November.
Since Earth runs in 16Bit it requires high level hardware: at least an Amiga with 68040 processor, graphics board and
16MB of RAM. But recommended is an Amiga PPC with graphics board and 32MB of RAM.
Earth plays in the year 2140. The earth is controlled by two competing forces, the Eurasian Dynasty (ED) and the United
Civilised States (UCS). Both are at war with each other fighting for the last remaining raw materials on earth....
The Amiga version comes with different localisations, including German.
Screenshots:
Features:
- 50 Thrilling Missions
- 640x480 or 800x600 with 65.000 Colours
- 70 Different Units and Buildings
- Multiplayer Mode
- Stereo Soundtrack with CD Quality
- 7 Minutes Intro, Breathtaking Inter-Sequences
Up to Oktober, 15th Earth 2140 can be preordered from us.
At Amiga Fire from next week you will find
regular status reports on the beta state of Earth 2140.

Petro's Aspect of the Story...
AmigaScene from the Netherlands has asked Petro Tyschtschenko on the start of his company
and put his answers on ANF to notify:
«First of all many greetings from AmigScene and AGGF from the Netherlands!
We stumbled upon the story of your new company and the relating comment from Bill McEwen.
We sure just could publish this, but befor doing so we want to have your story on this.
Also if you cannot say anything about it, we ask you for reply. Regards from your dutch
followers! Marvin Droogsma»
Petro Tyschtschenko's reply:
«I do not intent to leave my beloved Amiga and to flee from the community by this.
It is right that I have taken a 50% share in the Power Service GMBH as an inactive partner
to spend my evening of life in financial independence, as I hope so at least.
After all I am already 57 years old and so one have to think of this. Still my entire strength
belongs to the Amiga and I have not done anything unlawful at the expense of Amiga, at all.
It is no crime to take a financial share in a company in whose targets I believe, isn't it.
In this sense, your Petro»
