Software updates by Andreas Kleinert
In recent days, PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX has released the following updates:
- akJFIF version 44.82
- akPNG version 44.82
- akTIFF version 44.82
- SViewIV version 9.10
- SV-PPC-Module version 24.8
Aside from the usual code maintenance, small and large speed improvements could be
achieved everywhere, with differing results on low- and high-end systems (depending
on CPU power and memory bandwidth). All programs can be downloaded from the website
at the title link.
We do not supply benchmarks, because we think they are worthless unless everybody could
verify them on his own (e.g. by using an open source benchmark program, freely available
graphics files and a clear system description).

Catweasel ISA Available Again
Today, the first Catweasel ISA boards from the current production run have been shipped.
Despite major supply problems we were able to keep delays within limits, the deadline
was exceeded by less than a week. The stongly increased demand can now be fully
satisfied. To keep the board producable in the year 2000, the "Y2K edition" recieved
some cosmetic canges. The board looks different, but is fully software compatible with
the 1996 model. It now fits better, and a protection against floppy cables attached in
the wrong pin order has been added.
With the Catweasel for the PC you can read Amiga disks as well as all other formats
the Catweasel knows, and uses them in emulators. For exsample, the usual formats for all
Amiga and C64 emulators are supported. Catweasel works with the usual PC disk drives, so
you don't need "original" drives like the 1541 from the Commodore C64.

Ref: News 15.07.2000 - New Virus Discovered
On 07/15/2000 we published a message by Andre Gobet.
This message was wrong. The authors of the
concerned CD Techno DataBase 00 put our
attention on that.
The problems were not caused by a virus but by the replacement of some systemfiles during the automatic
installation process. These lead to some incompatibility with the installed OS 3.5. If Andre had read the
manual he had known that there was the posibility to make an installation by hand.
We and Andre Gobet are very sorry for this failure

"Scene Archives #1-8" available
For some time APC&TCP offers the CD-ROMs "Best of Scene Archives" and "Scene Archives #9".
For a few days "Scene Archives #10" too. Some users asked us if the numbers 1 to 8 are also available, because
it is a risk to mail 120 DM to australia. But these is not possible because we do not think that the
slaerates would be high enough to cover our costs.
But APC&TCP we tried to find a solution. We negotiated with the australian author and decided to make some kind
of collecting-order.
Further detailed information are available on our newspage.

Publisher for Drake
The team of the 3D-game Drake, which orientates oneselves on
Microprose's Pirates! seems to have found a publisher. It isn't named
for now, because the contract isn't signed yet.
By now, the 3D-engine gets many improvements. More physical laws were added for more realism.
The Drake-Team consists of Oliver Gantert, Andreas Hippauf and Tobias Lutz.
The homepage (link) contains some information and screenshots of the game.

Comparison between AmigaOE and Microsoft's .net
In his article Jonathan Clark compares the AmigaOE-System by Amiga/Tao with the .net-system by Microsoft.
Both systems use a virtual processor but have huge differences, too. AmigaOE always uses the
little Endian-display, Microsoft offers depending on the processor little or big Endian.
In addition, .net contains more type-information in its VP-code. AmigaOE offers a complete OS with Java
which can run independently while .net will strongly depend on the WIN32-API and makes operation difficult
on Unix-systems.
This and other points are described better in Clark's article.

It also brings out the fact that the new OS is really something NEW with the words:

Voyager 3.3 Alpha as well as Spurious Offers
Oliver Wagner released an alpha version of Voyager V3.3 on August, 4th 2000. This version is presentating the new
layout engine. This alpha version is not ought to replace a running browser, due to essential features are still
missing such like FORMs (objects are created but have no function yet), FRAMES, IFRAMES and JavaScript
(code is present but not active yet). Sending in bug reports, missing features or similar therefore is not
necessary.
At shareit.com spurious entries of Vapor programs at immense prices were made. These entries were not made by
Vapor and hence should be left ignored.
Vapor belongs to the MorphOS alpha testers and there might be a V-port, but at the time beeing there are no
fixed plans of doing one. Concentration points on finishing the new version for AmigaOS.

- New: Mail-Checking-System.
- New "Mail-Check-Window" for sound and notifications.
- The directory structure was slightly changed and should be readjusted at the first start of the software
after the update.
- At the first start one must select the user the program shall begin with, since this save format changed, too.
- A Problem in the relogin system was fixed. The start window was send to sleep mode under many circumstanced,
even if it realy should not do that.
- There are still some CyberGuard/Enforcer hits, but those could only be reproduced random, so far.
- The IO packet window now supports Cut'n Paste, so the last values bevore/after an error including
all CyberGuard/Enforcer hits can be sent to the author.
- Notice: In the case of Miami it is recommended to use at least Miami V2.1p, V3.2b or MiamiDX V1.0c -
with those AIM was tested successfull.
AIM requires MUI V3.8 and serveral custom classes.

Coyote Flux Opens Temporary Website
Since the 68k->PPC assembly porter/language PPC680x0 was finished a little while ago,
Coyote Flux has opened a temporary website at www.coyoteflux.tmfweb.nl
PPC680x0 will be released on Haage&Partner's StormC 4 CD
appearing in October this year. Take a look at the website to find
out more about PPC680x0, Burnin' Rubber 2000, Super Amicon and more...
PPC680x0 is an assembler program which is able to convert 680x0 sourcecode
to PPC sourcecode. This could change all 68k programs easily to PPC. The
programmers, by the way, are the guys who had to pose as a popular
camera subject
with their Amiga bobble hats on almost all fairs.

Heise: Quarrel about Words: After Explorer and Samba now ASP
«After Explorer, Webspace and Samba now another popular EDP term
became the object of trademark quarrels: the specialist book author Volker
Jungbluth asked several companies in the last weeks to refrain from using
his wordmark "ASP".»
«1998, Jungbluth registered the describing term "Site Promotion" as
wordmark and then sent the internet consultor Andreas Roemer a warning
plus a cashing up of 1895,21 D-Mark (about US$900) because of alleged
trademark violation.»
«The German ASP consortium which represents more than 60 companies,
has called upon Jungbluth to draw back the registered trademark. Jungbluth
denied this, said consortium speaker Werner Grohmann: ",Now our lawyers become
active; currently an expert's report is beeing made."»

Jens Schönfeld wrote: "Since today is my birthday, it's my treat today! As a big thank-you to
all X-Surf customers, the XSurf-IDE driver is available in the support-area for a free download now

for this gift:
Software Hut (USA, 15%)
Eyetech (England, 5%)
KDH Datentechnik (Germay, 15%)
Vesalia Computer (Germany, 15%)
Eternity (Germany, 5%)
Please think about one of these retailers if you buy something for your Amiga next time.
Special thanks must go to Eyetech again for the friendly permission to include their Samba-install-CD
with the X-Surf.
Happy birthday, Jens. May all your wishes come true. :-).

Heise: Wave of dissuasions against Open Source Network Software Samba (Update)
«Offerors of support for the open source software Samba are effected by a
wave of dissuasions. Several companies part of a
list in the web
recieved a letter demanding them no longer to offer, advertise for, distribute or utilize Samba for buissnes communiction.
Samba is an application which allows to use Unix and Linux platforms for server and client in a Windows network.
This free for download program belongs to the most popular successful projects of the open source software area.
The name SaMBa comes from the SMB protocoll used in Windows networks.» Entire article at the titlelink (German).
In the meanwhile I have a notion that dissuasions are mutating
into a marketing strategy and are no longer
ought to enforce rights, but only to serve the purpose to arrest
attention. The senders of these dissuasions can be sure of the
entire press to jump at this subject. The advertising effect is
invaluable, cause even negative advertising is in
fact advertising, as already well known. That often very enthusiastic
people who worked hard and often without
any payment for their project are driven to economic ruin by this, is
just the fly shit falling through the grid. :-(
Supplement 04 Aug 2000:
CMG statement on SAMBA
«In the meanwhile emerged the responsibility of name for open source software belongs to an Australian internet company.
CMG will contact this company and try to achieve an agreement, so that the in Germany incidentally same name can no longer
lead to any misconceptions.
At the same time CMG will stop the dissuasiveness procedure against the contacted companies, which just offer
support for the open source software. Also no further dissuasivenesses are planned. After all it is not CMG's intention
to harm the buisness of open source offerors or to handicap distribution or use of these products.»
