CyberGraphX Support for Mediator PCI Graphics accelerator
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development announced there co-operation. The goal is
to develope a CyberGraphX based Graphicaccelerator-System for PCI-Graphicaccelerators, installed on the
Mediator PCI 1200 Busboard.
Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:50:42 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
Organization: ELBOX COMPUTER
Subject: CyberGraphX support for Mediator PCI graphic cards
Elbox Computer www.elbox.com
Vision Factory Development www.vgr.com
------------------------------------------
For Immediate Release
Krakow, PL - 24 July 2000
Elbox Computer, the developer of Amiga hardware and software,
who have designed and produced the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard,
announced a partnership today with Vision Factory Development,
developer of CyberGraphX, the widely popular graphic system
for Amiga computers.
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development will co-operate
to port and optimize the CyberGraphX graphic system for
operation with PCI graphic cards installed in the MEDIATOR
PCI 1200 busboard.
CyberGraphX V3 will be available with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
CyberGraphX V4, the extended commercial version of this system
may be obtained from all the CyberGraphX distributors; it will
enable even more comprehensive use of the PCI graphic chipsets
capacity.
Support for new graphic chipsets will be developed for
both versions (V3 and V4) of the CyberGraphX system.
Current information on drivers available for MEDIATOR will be
reported at http://www.vgr.com, the official CyberGraphX website.
CyberGraphX
The CyberGraphX standard is being supported by all major Amiga
software vendors worldwide. CyberGraphX was designed to define
an independent graphics standard for Amiga graphic boards.
Continued work on Workbench emulation was also an important
issue. Over 7 years of experience in developing graphics board
software was employed in making Workbench control screens
with all the existing Amiga graphic cards.
CyberGraphX is based on hardware-dependent monitor driver and
hardware-independent libraries. This solution has many advantages,
one of these being bug fixes in the Workbench card control.
Speed optimization is another benefit available for ALL the
graphic boards supported by the CyberGraphX system.
CyberGraphX works with majority of the most popular applications
on the Amiga and resources of Public Domain and Demo software
available are broad.
MEDIATOR PCI 1200
The MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is a new-generation busboard for Amiga
1200 computers. The MEDIATOR busboard is fitted with four
PCI 2.1-compiliant slots for connecting PCI devices, thus
enabling expansion of Amiga 1200 with a variety of PCI-standard
hardware products.
MEDIATOR's hardware has been made compatible with ALL the
available Amiga 1200 turbo cards. MEDIATOR PCI opens an immense
wealth of PCI cards for Amiga 1200 owners: network, sound,
modem (ISDN), decoding (MPEG-2, MP3), TV, and, most of all,
graphic cards based around chipsets like S3 ViRGE, Savage4,
Voodoo3, Voodoo5, Riva TNT2, etc.
MEDIATOR PCI enables using the high-end cards based around the
latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors (available in the PCI card form)
in Amiga 1200 computers. When this feature is combined with the
PCI graphic cards, totally new superb possibilities are open
for Amiga owners.

Trogladite Awards 2k were Confered
Alltogether awards were confered in five categories. Unfortunately two webpages had to be
disqualified because they were elected using manifold reloads.
How about fairness and sportsmenship ? This spoils the joy even of the award winners. I hope
that Trogladite Software will use a script with a reloadstop or an other protection for preventing
these fraud.

Czech Amiga News is back :-)
"Don't panic ! It was just a joke."
The recipients of this mail know that Wintopia2000 was a joke. We wanted to celebrate our two
years of activities around Amiga News a different way :-). What kind of black humor you may say ?
The design took as two days. If you overcome your shock you can read ahead...
We wrote our first newsreport on 07/21/1998. But Czech Amiga News started a few days later. But when
exactly ?! It is your job to find it out. Mail us your proposal - day and hour of the launch - the
nearest one (+/- 2 hours) will win HERETIC II. If there will be a winner he will be published on
08/01/2000. You can mail your suggestion or even greetings via eMail (subject: TIP) to
exie@czex.cz
Dear ExiE. It is not nice of you to shock us that much. As explained in our mail we could not
imagine that you leave the community after two years of fantastic work just with these three sentences.
We even thought of a hack :). We were very happy when we got to know that it was just a joke.
We wish you and your team furthermore much fun at work and we are happy that the cloverleafe is complete
again ;-).

DirOpus 4.14i (Beta) re
Jacek Rzeuski released DirOpus 4.14i (Beta). This is an extract from the History:
- removed lots (all?) pre-OS3.0 conditional code
- removed PowerPacker support completely (replaced by XFDMaster support)
- XFDMaster.library is opened only when needed and if it has not already been
opened by another program. This prevents loading all decrunchers from libs:xfd/
directory. That feature can be overriden by setting FORCEOPENXFD tooltype
in program's icon or -x (case important!) argument if started from CLI.
- fixed canceling "DOpus already running" requester. Now it uses ARexx and
requires RexxMaster running to work. "Bring to front" option added.
- ConfigOpus: removed bug in command list (the list was too long)
- DOpus_Icon: fixed OS3.5 icon support. NewIcons still do not work :(

New ARexx-Scripts for DOpus 4 freeware have been released.
CleanRamDisk deletes all files from RAM-Disk, except 'ClipBoards',
'ENV', 'T' and the 'Disk.info' file.
Under PatternOpus three ARexx-Scripts are assembled, that rename many files at once considering a pattern.
For example, it is possible to give a pattern for a filename like "frame?.jpg" and a starting number,
like "1".

MUI-Class NListtree.mcc V1.1 Released
Carsten Scholling writes:
This MUI-Class offers a simple way to display list entries in an ordered form, the socalled tree. Tree-structure
is used, when files are to be displayed and managed optically separated from each other.
NListtree is interesting for developers as well as for users and easy to handle. If wanted by the programmer and
usefull in the special case, this class allows the free redesigning of the displayed list by Drag'n'Drop
even with multiple choice.
Now, for the first time it is possible to keep full structures when moving entries. This means, that not only
the entry to be moved is inserted in the destination, but, if wanted, all the entries upto the root-list, too.
This is also available when copying entries, which is implemented, too.
Features in short:
- Simple Drag'n'Drop of entries within the the tree.
- Supports multiple choice of entries.
- Move and Copy implemented.
- Move and Copy can recover source structure at destination.
- Appearence can be easily changed via the localized MUI Prefs program.
- Pictures can be changed in the chosen style.
- Some new Pictures especially for the Windows-Style are included.

"Just two years ago we brought to you the first Amiga news. Many things happened and we feel it's time
to move to the "real world". New Amiga is still nothing more than immagination but it is possible we

#Amiga on IRCNet
Here an invitation from IRCNet to chat about the Amiga.
Since (once again) the Amiga seems to be considered a platform which
could do a Lazarus, we thought it would be good to remind all the Amiga
users still out there that there is still a friendly user base at #amiga
on IRCNet. There's always someone here to help Amiga users, discuss Amiga
related topics, or anything else which is interesting at the time :)
#amiga is usually the quickest place to find out whenever there's new
software released, or the latest news on our favourite platform, and is
generally a very pleasant channel.
A few IRCNet servers:
- UK - irc.netcom.net.uk, irc.u-net.com, irc.webbernet.net
- Finland - irc.funet.fi, irc.atm.tut.fi, irc.jyu.fi
- Netherlands - irc.xs4all.nl, irc.nl.net, irc.sci.kun.nl
Hope to see you all there :), The users of #amiga

AMIGA president Bill McEwen answers questions of Community (Executive Update)
+++AMIGA-aktuell-Special+++
After some people of the Amiga Community are confused about the implementation of Memory Protection into the AmigaNG operating system, the consideration of the desktop market and the software license,
Bill McEwen wants to say something about these points. Read the statement following the titlelink.
Addendum:
Bill McEwens talks about a discussion at the
MooBunny forum in his statement. Interesting on this aspect is an article from Squid (07/19/2000): Natural Science
Bill McEwen's statement:
In Response to Community Concerns Posted on MooBunny
We are very excited at the response that we have received in the first few
weeks of the Amiga SDK version 1 going out into the world. We have
received
lots of feedback, mostly good, some not so good, and three particular
points
have come up that we would like to address before they become common
untruths.
Firstly, it is true that the Amiga Foundation Layer which ships on the SDK
does not have memory protection. However, this does not mean that Ami™,
the
next generation Amiga Digital Environment will not have memory
protection. A
comment made in an article in the last AmigaWorld seems to have been
interpreted in such a way as to suggest that this is the case when in fact
the point being made was that Amiga is looking at many solutions for
providing robustness and security. Ami™ will provide a robust, secure
environment and we will use the most elegant and effective means to
achieve
this.
Secondly, the End User Licence Agreement that made it into the SDK is in
error as a result of a legal misinterpretation. There is NO ROYALTY to be
paid for any application either created with the SDK or which will run on
Ami™. Amiga will be creating a scheme in which third parties can pay a
royalty to Amiga in exchange for official Amiga certification, branding
and
promotion. This provides a revenue stream to Amiga and a value add for the
third party. This scheme is entirely voluntary.
The third point has been drawn as a conclusion from the first two, namely
that Amiga is abandoning the desktop market. Nothing could be further from
the truth. The announced AmigaOne will feature processor options ranging
from 600 Mhz to 1 Ghz, with other, even more powerful devices already on
the
drawing board. The conclusion to be drawn from this is either that Amiga
is
very committed to the desktop market or that we are going to build one
mother of a cellphone.
We are committed to making the Amiga THE best computer system in the
world.
Yes we are also going to go into other markets, but that does not mean we
are abandoning the desktop, the Amiga philosophy or the loyal Amigans who
have stood by the platform through the good and the bad.

UGN AmiWest2000 press release
From: Bill Borsari tekmage@amiga.org
Date: Thu, 20 Jul 2000 01:36:54 -0500
Organization: UGN
Subject: UGN AmiWest2000 Press Release
For Immediate release:
The UGN in conjunction with Amiga Inc., AmiWest 2000 and
FortWaynemusic.com is proud to announce the second official live audio
broadcast from an US Amiga show: July 29th and 30th! Starting in 1998
from the Amiga International show, the UGN has provided live webcam and
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) from Amiga conventions world wide. It has been
our goal to enhance our informational feeds to include audio since that
very first show. At AmiWest 2000, the audio feed will once again become a
reality!
In the past we would ask our guests to join us on the IRC network to field
questions and deliver answers, but, due to the nature of IRC, efficiency
was greatly reduced. To solve that dilemma, we decided to broadcast the
guests voice over the internet as an Mpeg 3 (mp3) Audio stream.
Furthermore, we decided on the mp3 Audio format due to popularity, and mp3
players are available for nearly every platform. For the Amiga, we will
provide step
by step directions at ugn.amiga.org on how to setup the StreamMp3.rx, a
freely available mp3 Audio stream player, for Ibrowse, Aweb and Voyager.
The minimum requirements to receive the audio stream live would be a 68030
at 50 MHz and a 28.8 modem. It is also possible to use the AudioLabs
ProStationAudio software with iRec, see www.audiolabs.it for a demo version
and directions.
In order to give the Amiga community voice, questions will be accepted
through a webpage form on ugn.amiga.org up-until 2 days before the show,
and we will moderate an IRC channel for questions during the interview. New
for AmiWest we will have ICQ and AIM ability as well. The guests will be
given 1 hour to answer questions and discuss important issues. Our plan
involves
hosting guests during day and broadcasting the banquet on Saturday night.
Also, we have confirmation that Bill McEwen will be available to us during
the show.
Refer to ugn.amiga.org for the broadcast times and a schedule speakers.

Outlook Virus Warning from MSNBC
Several virus warnings have clearly pointed out that Outlook is an unsecure mailing software, as in the begining opening
an attachment was enough to give crackeres free entrance.
A bug in Outlook and Outlook Express as well, which occures when the software trys to read malformed datefields in which
a long string of GMT is written too (Malformed eMail Header Vulnerability), leads to an overflow error (buffer overflow),
which then can crash the application or - and this is much more dangerous - crackers can use this for execution of any
program code by sending a suitable prepared mail. Recieving such a mail is enough!
Microsoft offers a patch for this problem. To use this
patch the Internet Explorer 5.01 Service Pack 1
must have been installed.

VWP News
Audio Effects for Casablanca
Together with MotionStudios VWP developed two software packs with audio effects for the video editing system Casablance.
The "SoundFX" pack contains several effects for editing, adulterating, enhancing, and mutating the video sound.
The "SurroundFX" pack has several features for sound surround decoding. Beside free positioning inside the
perception space these effects allow editable and default sound movement, provided a surround decoder (Circle or dolby surround
compatible) is connected to the Casablanca. More information here.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
Fun things this time around. Lots of Amiga shows coming up and a
bewildering blizzard of annoucements and strategic aliances from
Amiga. Hope the items below help to make it all clear.
First, some AU business. The contest for the Amiga 2000 is over. All
entrants should have received a notice from us by now. In case some
got lost in the mail, here's the note we sent to everyone who DIDN'T
win:
"Hello from 'Amiga Update'
"I hate suspense, so here it is - the winner of the Amiga 2000
drawing is:
"Gerald B. Gibbons
"Congratulations Gerald!! You should have already received a separate
note with information on contacting Pat Hammond, the generous donator
of the computer.
"I'm sending this note to everyone who expressed interest, but will
do so without revealing individual e-mail addresses.
"We received nine requests from readers who wanted to be included in
the drawing. All names were written on same sized slips of paper, and
placed in an old "AmiEXPO" hat (you have to have been around a while
to remember those shows). The winner was drawn by Mrs. Webb. We held
the drawing at "Amiga Update" World Headquarters on the 4th of July,
allowing a few days from the end of the month in case some late
entries might have been caught in the Internet mail flow.
"We hope Gerald enjoys the Amiga 2000 for quite a while, and thanks
to everyone who participated.
"Brad Webb,
Editor/Publisher
'Amiga Update'"
We'd like to give another big "thank you!" to Pat Hammond for making
the computer available!
And while we're dealing in fun things, we've picked up on a
persistent rumor, which seems to have been repeated word for word in
several places, including supposedly the UK's entertainment industry
publication "MCV". Here are some quotes:
"The long forgotten Amiga system is to make a comeback.
"Amigas have been destined to the dustbin of time after the advent of
consoles, and after the ill-fated Amiga CD-32, it was thought that
Amiga would not be resurfacing.
"However, a new Amiga games machine is on its way - and it's likely to
be some kind of handheld games unit. The machine will use the Amiga OS
but is unlikely to be manufactured by Amiga Inc themselves. Third
party manufacturers such as Dell, Gateway and IBM have expressed
interests in the minature Amiga handheld, while Amiga will supply the
badge and operating system.
"A new Amiga desktop machine called Amiga One will also be launched in
November this year, and will be targeted at home users. We welcome
back the Amiga with open arms."
We suggest you don't put too much faith in that "story" but it
certainly is interesting.
Finally, word has reached us that Sun has announced today the source
for its "StarOffice" product will be made available for others to
port. "StarOffice is an office suite of productivity software much
beloved in the Linux environment and provides the closest thing there
is to Microsoft competition. Anyone out there interested in porting it
to the Amiga?
We hope you enjoy this issue,
Brad Webb,
Editor
----------------------------------------------------------------------
E-mail to the E-ditor:
Dear Friends,
I think, yours is a very good idea, please keep on and sign me on
too.
The Amiga used to be my joy, a great machine, especially the A1200
which I bought after my first computer, the A2000.
Great machines, super interface, the best.
I left Europe in 1996 to do a 3-year contract on the island of Aruba
and because of my work, (I am an architect working with autocad on
pc`s) and the fact that nobody does the Amiga on that Island, I lost
some track of the Amiga.
I hope to see a new generation Amiga on the market soon and I like to
keep in touch with some news on these developments. I will be joining
for sure.
Thanks for being Amigans. John
~~~~~~
John,
Thanks for writing and welcome! There's a lot going on in at Amiga
Inc. as this issue shows. We hope to bring the highlights to you and
the rest of the Community.
Brad

D ' A M I G A I S D ' T H I N G
July 13, 2000 - Amiga Inc., Snoqualmie, WA, today announced
manufacturing and distribution agreements with Wonder Computers
International Inc. in Ottawa, Canada and Software Hut, Inc. in West
Chester, PA. These agreements will allow the manufacture of d'Amiga
Authorized Developer Workstations in North America.
Both Software Hut and Wonder Computers are well known and well
regarded figures in the Amiga community. Their involvement dates back
well over a decade.
Amiga, Software Hut and Wonder Computers share the same vision and
strategy to establish the Next Generation Amiga as the preeminent
media platform and operating environment for the future.
``It gives us great pleasure to have released the Software
Development Kit (SDK) on schedule and to follow up with such excellent
value to the community with the d'Amiga Developer Workstation. It
gives us equal pleasure to have the support of Software Hut and Wonder
Computers behind this release. Through this developer machine, we
achieve our goal of providing excellent value in superior hardware to
realize our cross platform binary compatibility promise for
developers. This will no doubt come as great news to those in the
community seeking value of their dollar as they develop for the great
number of target platforms that Amiga supports," said Randall Hughes,
Vice President, Sales and Strategic Alliances at Amiga Inc.
"We at Software Hut are extremely excited to have been selected as
the official US Distributor for the authorized d'Amiga Developer
Workstation. Many of our customers and dealer partners have been
looking for a machine with all the specifications to run the Amiga SDK
in one bundled package. Our combined efforts, along with Amiga Inc.'s
and Wonder Computers', will ensure that all developers will have easy
and affordable access to the tools needed to develop software that
will revolutionize computing as we now know it," said Joseph Muoio,
President of Software Hut, Inc.
"We are proud to be a part of this quantum leap forward in computing
technology, and look forward to working closely with Amiga and
Software Hut on this project in the weeks and months to come. The
developer machine is more than just a tool. It represents the first
significant opportunity for Amigans and former Amigans everywhere, to
join forces and help bring about a real change in the way computers
work. The developers machine can also be configured to run Amiga
Classic software through emulation, adding further to its potential
value for anyone considering a purchase," extolled Mark Habinski,
President of Wonder Computers International Inc.
The developer machine represents unparalleled value, uses brand name
parts of the highest quality, and is bundled with a comprehensive
warranty on hardware and an enhanced level of support from Amiga Inc.
The workstation also includes the Amiga SDK. "We at Amiga are proud to
have our name on the d'Amiga Authorized Developer Workstation," said
Mr. Hughes, in reference to its significant value and competitive
price. Such a price/performance achievement is not possible using
clone hardware. If it does not have the official Amiga Boing insignia,
it is not an authorized Amiga Developer Workstation. Please see
www.amiga.com for full details.
Other d'Amiga information:
The d'AMIGA represents outstanding value to our community in its
functionality and support. Feature for feature, it represents the most
affordable performance and comprehensive support available on a

Update From Amiga Inc on AmiOpen
(19 July, 2000) - Gary Peake
I would like to announce that Douglas McLaughlin will be writing his
own version of ICQ for the new AmiVerse.
License Fees: Contrary to what the SDK says, there will be NO license
fees on any applications, tools, or ports in the year 2000. We are
reviewing this policy for 2001 and beyond and as soon as I have the
info I will post it here. Also, there is and never will be license
fees on open source apps or tools.
Developer Web Site: Sorry about the delay with the web site. Part of
the delay was waiting to see which ways we would go with certain web
based applications and another part of the delay has been getting my
family situation worked out and all of my family up here to the great
Northwest. That accomplished, the web site updates will begin in
earnest now. Stay tuned for more developments there.
Thanks for your patience

Oxford and Reading, England - July 4th 2000, MathEngine PLC, the
leader in real time dynamics software - which allows complex,
physics-based interactive simulation - today announced it will make
its technology available on Tao Group's intentTM media platform.
The intentTM platform is a lightweight, high performance media
platform for running systems and content across a broad range of
digital networked appliances from PCs and game consoles to set top
boxes and mobile phones. This means that developers can write code
that can be easily ported to run on many different current and future
hardware platforms. Example areas of use for MathEngine's libraries
include the creation of realistic physics behavior for next generation
consoles and PC games. By including MathEngine technology in the
intentTM platform, MathEngine is able to make its technology available
in a highly optimised form on this broad range of hardware platforms.
"MathEngine is contributing a very important suite of high value
technologies to the intentTM environment," said Francis Charig,
Chairman of Tao. "Our recent range of announcements involving
multimedia partners is now further complemented by the immediacy and
reality brought by MathEngine's software. It is increasingly
recognized that only Tao can combine the enabling of true multimedia
content, across many different Internet appliances, with conformance
to global standards. Our partnership with MathEngine will make that
content both different and even more exciting."
The new Tao environment, including MathEngine technology, will be
available on general release later this year but will be available to
selected partners in advance.
MathEngine has found Tao to be an ideal partner in the Internet
appliance space. With MathEngine already running its software on games
platforms such as PCs and video game consoles, the relationship with
Tao is one way in which MathEngine can branch out to new markets such
as digital television, set top boxes and smart phones.
Lincoln Wallen, Chief Technology Officer of MathEngine said,
"Integrating our technology into Tao's intentTM media platform allows
developers already working with our products on PC and game consoles
to make their titles available more easily on other emerging
platforms. The partnership will enable MathEngine to branch out into
new markets and design specific solutions for new consumer devices."

Software Hut, Inc. began as a small, family-owned business in 1982,
specializing in Apple products. After the release of the AMIGA 1000,
Software Hut, Inc. realized the market potential of this superior
graphics system and has spent the last 12 years devoting all of its
efforts into promoting and selling the Amiga line of products. The
Amiga's popularity and incredible graphics applications has

AmigaFest 2000, the show within a show at Dayton's Fall Computerfest®
is a go!
AmigaFest will have its own area within Computerfest® and we will
have more control over the layout than last year. Last year we had
about 15 exhibitors and we hope to have many more this year.
The Fall Computerfest® is Sat. & Sun. August 26 & 27 at Hara Arena on
the northwest side of Dayton, Ohio.
This show has a big advantage for the Amiga Community because it will
give you access to several vendors who are Amiga specialists and also
well over a hundred vendors selling the general equipment you need,
drives, printers, memory, storage media, etc. at really great prices.
In effect, everything you need and want in one place.
For Amiga vendors and exhibitors it give you access to a croud of
over 30,000 attendees, and, while most are PC people, an amazing
number of Amiga people will be there. Many are Amiga users who do not
buy the magazines and are not in user groups and are there for the
cheap goodies and will be really happy to have access to Amiga gear.
This also gives you access to a tremendous crowd most of who know
nothing about Amiga and many who once owned one and it will surprise
you how much interest having AmigaFest 2000 within the show will
generate. This is also an excellent forum to let the non-Amiga world
know what is happening. Most important, it is an inexpensive show to
participate in. The cost is $60 per 8 ft. table. This is really a
bargain for a show of this magnitude.
Amiga, Inc. is providing two A1200s and a selection of other items to
be raffled at the show. We are also planning to have a get together on
the Saturday evening of the show at a restaurant so we can all relax
eat, maybe drink a little, socialize a lot, and generally have a good
time.
If you are interested in more information on the show, directions, or
being an exhibitor, email me at schwartr@gemair.com or phone/fax at
937-434-2144.

Dear friends,
It won't come as a shock to most within the community that advance
sales of our forthcoming Amiga titles have been disappointing. On the
classic Amiga we are fighting with hands tied behind our backs due to
the lack of new hardware sales and in addition we are being hit below
the belt by piracy. It is with deep regret that I announce CS&E has
cancelled all future games development for this system. This was a
difficult decision for me to make but financially impossible for me to
ignore.
More positively, remember we arrived on the Amiga scene in
anticipation of a new machine - hence we will develop for the new
Amiga and I have great pleasure in announcing that CS&E will be giving
away development kits free to all Amiga developers who pledge to
release their forthcoming titles through our network. In addition our
£1,000 competition will be carried over to the new Amiga so that
£1,000 will definitely be given away in advance to the developer of
what CS&E judges to be the best software offering, now extended to the
end of 2,000. By taking these steps CS&E is making development for the
Amiga pay and ensuring the best quality in gameplay and service for
our customers. Nothing has changed since we entered the Amiga market
on the back of successful PC releases last year, our quality,
originality and commitment to Amiga speaks for itself.
Amiga Survivor will play a key role in being one of the most
respected sources of information for the Amiga community through the
launch of the new Amiga. AS has recently been put in the hands of an
independent team of budding journalists from all over Europe and is
the premier independent magazine for Amiga news and reviews. Issue 10
will be the first release in the new format on August 10th, after
which you will get regular bi-monthly release dates.
Look out for more news at http://www.CSandE.co.uk coming soon!
Kind Regards,
David Connolly

Innovative brings Digita(TM)-power to your AMIGA!
Innovative has developed a driver for DigiCams running the Digita(TM)
Operating Environment. Digita(TM)-enabled DigiCams offer much more
flexibility and abilities than everything else currently on the
market. Digita(TM) is used in high-end-cameras of different companies,
runs on PowerPC- and Coldfire-CPUs and allows you to run scripts,
applications and games (incl. MAME!!) on your camera. The developers
of Digita(TM), Flashpoint(TM) (http://www.flashpoint.com/) wants to
make Digita(TM) the standard for DigiCams and specified a standardized
communication-protocol between computer and camera. With the now
available VHI-driver, AMIGA-users finally get access to these amazing
cameras and can download and rework pictures from these cameras.
Currently available Digita(TM)-enabled DigiCams are
· Kodak DC 220, DC 260, DC 265, DC 290
· Minolta Dimage 1500 EX, Dimage 1500 3D
· HP PhotoSmart C500, C619, C912,
· Pentax EI-200, EI-2000
P.S.: In this case, Digita(TM) has nothing to do with the developers
of Wordsworth but is the name of a product by Flashpoint(TM).

About Dry Ice
Dry Ice is a graphical web browser for the Amiga. It is being written
especially for the Amiga, there is no bloated code ported from another
platform. The intended features of Dry Ice is to offer full HTML 4.0
support, and full scripting support of whatever is the current
scripting language.
Progress and Current Features
(as of 17 July 2000)
Extensive Feature List
----------------------
Browser features
+ URL parser (complies with URI's in the HTTP/1.1 standard), can
distinguish between an URL and a local filename without the need for
"http://" or "localhost://..." etc.
+ Automatically caches all visited pages in memory, currently there
is no way to purge the memory cache, and no limits on the memory cache
+ When the browser window is resized the page is refreshed from its
cache, this operation is very quick
+ "Back" and "Forward" menu items, the items are disabled when
appropriate
+ "Refresh" menu item, will reload the document from its source
Browser window using BOOPSI gadgets allow for a complete
font-sensitive, resizable user-interface
+ Other windows use a font-sensitive GadTools interface
+ "About" window, displays free memory, and public screen, and TCP
stack
+ Public screen settings, the user can set gadget font, screen font,
any public screen to open on, or Dry Ice's own public screen -
settings are saved automatically on exit
+ The browser window position and size is remembered on exit
+ HTML Font settings, the user can set fonts for Normal, H1-H6, Font
size 1-7
+ Multi-browser windows, achieved through re-entrant code, and a
manager process, can open new browser windows, close them, when the
last is closed the browser quits
+ Multi-threaded HTML Parser, the parser and the layouter run
separately
+ Large pages (ones that are higher than the screen height) are
stored representationally in fast ram, this eliminates eating lots of
chip ram when it came to large pages (this doesn't work yet!)

Dry Ice will access location 0 and display 4 bytes in the ASL file
requester
+ Block tags usually start on a new line, Dry Ice's block tags start
on a newline and throw a newline after it's done rendering, this tends
to leave a big gap when such tags are used straight after each other,
it looks particularly bad when nesting lists
+ The list item number on ordered lists is not displayed

works _sometimes_
+ There are a thousand other bugs

Ukiah, July 15th, 2000
Some of you may have noticed that I have been rather unresponsive to
email recently. Besides by new job at REBOL, which is keeping me busy
around 60 hours per week, sometimes on weekends, there is also a
technical reason for this:
In mid-June one of my network-grade uninterruptable power supplies
severely malfunctioned in a manner I still have not figured out, and
as a result three of my computers were damaged: my A4000T (main
development box) and two PCs, including my main Linux server which
runs DNS, email, mailing lists, registration etc. for Nordic Global.
So far the damage seems to extend "only" to the three power supplies,
one of the PC mother boards, two harddisks, and the contents of some
harddisk partitions.
The good news is: at the moment it seems that no essential data (CVS
repository of Miami(Dx) sources, email database, registration
database) was lost or damaged, but I have yet to do exhaustive
integrity checks on all data.
Over the last few weeks I have spent many nights and weekends
replacing defective equipment and swapping harddisks between
computers, testing/reconfiguring/restoring/reinstalling/backing up
many things etc., to at least keep the automated systems (DNS, email
reception, mailing lists, registration server, cgi backend of the web
site etc.) going as well as possible and prevent further damage or
loss of data. There have been some outages, but so far they have been
less than two days at a time each.
This process is still not quite finished. Some of the past changes
were only stopgap solutions, and there will be several additional,
more permanent, hardware changes and reconfigurations over the next
week or two, as the ordered replacement parts arrive and are
integrated. As in the last few weeks, most of the changes will not
affect users, except for temporary outages of my servers, for up to
two days at a time.
If you see warnings such as "could not send email for four hours" in
response to emails you sent, do not worry. I do not expect outages to
be long enough at a time for email to bounce, i.e. those warnings are
only temporary. Same thing if you get errors "connection timed out" or
"connection refused" trying to access servers: those outages are
temporary, so just try again later.
On the up side, after the changes are completed performance should
improve significantly, in particular the turnaround time for mailing
lists. As part of the changes the main Linux server for mailing lists
etc. is moving from my old now-defunct Cyrix P-150/48MB box to a
Celeron-333/64MB box.
For the time being I am afraid incoming email just keeps piling up. I
neither have the time to sort and respond to the over 800 emails that
have queued up, nor do I have enough access to my systems yet to
answer most questions, in particular questions related to
registrations or bugs/features in Miami or MiamiDx, dealer requests
etc. Most of my databases, scripts, etc. are still not operational
again yet.
I WILL respond to your emails, but it will take some time. Please...
- ... do NOT send emails repeatedly. This only gives me more work
later. I don't even get to start seeing emails again until (hopefully)
the weekend of July 22th. By then all repairs and upgrades should be
completed.
- ... do NOT send emails to REBOL. Not only did some of you get my
email address there wrong (and thus unknowingly annoyed our sysadmin
with non-REBOL-related requests), but without access to my systems I
cannot respond to those mails anyway. They only get forwarded to my
main email account and added to the normal mail queue.
- ... do NOT call me at home or at REBOL. My voice mail is already on
the verge of bursting, mostly with questions that I could not give
much information over the phone on anyway, without access to my
systems.
Thank you for your cooperation.

Gary Peake about the Subject of Licences
Contrary to what the SDK says, there will be NO licence-fees on any
applications, tools, or ports in the year 2000. We are reviewing this policy for 2001
and beyond and as soon as I have the info I will post it here. Also, there are and
never will be license-fees on open source apps or tools. Here is Peake's full mail:
Sorry for the delay in posting any updates here. I have just returned from a 2500 plus mile trip in a Rental truck (24 footer) dragging my family and a 3 bedroom house full of furniture to Snoqualmie from Texas.
If I missed any posts, please feel free to send them my way.
If possible, can anyone currently porting an app or utility or whatever please send me an email? I would like to establish an online database for registered developers so these apps can be listed and thus avoid any duplications that may take place.
I would also like to announce that Douglas McLaughlin will be writing his own version of ICQ for the new AmiVerse.
License Fees: Contrary to what the SDK says, there will be NO license fees on any applications, tools, or ports in the year 2000. We are reviewing this policy for 2001 and beyond and as soon as I have the info I will post it here. Also, there is and never will be license fees on open source apps or tools.
Developer Web Site: Sorry about the delay with the web site. Part of the delay was waiting to see which ways we would go with certain web based applications and another part of the delay has been getting my family situation worked out and all of my family up here to the great Northwest. That accomplished, the web site updates will begin in earnest now. Stay tuned for more developments there.
Thanks for your patience

Heise: Sun Officially gives StarOffice to Open Source under GPL
During the last days there was the rumour Sun was going to release their Office-packet source-code under the
GNU General Public License (GPL). Even in-house this was called nonsense. But today Sun will be
announcing the release of the source-code officially.
The release of the source code Sun will be announcing at the O`Reilly Open Source Convention in Monterey.
As the coordinator for the further development of the Office packet the organization OpenOffice.org is to be
founded in which are participating Tim O'Reilly, Miguel de Icaza of the Gnome projekt, Brian Behlendorf of the
Apache Software Foundation and Andy Hertzfeld, and others. More members Sun will name during the day to which well-known
companies belong. Besides the coordination of the sources Open Office is to be responsible for the definition
of XML basing file formats, as well as for the programming of intersections.
Full report at the titlelink.

#AmigaQuake has Moved to QuakeNet
Because of the increasing popularity of Quake on the Amiga we want to point out the movement of our channel.
Our small channel still exits since Quake of ClickBoom, but only on the IrcNet.This channel we have
left, cause continuous NetSplits, Lags and user-restrictions. For more than one week you can now contact us on the
QuakeNet.
Adresses of servers you can find at www.quakenet.eu.org.
So, interested users should come there quickly. Newcomers are very welcome. We'll try to help everybody!
Addtionally there are three bigger Quake Clans of TeamFortress in which numerous Amiga users take part. One
of those Clans was founded by me...:) Hope to see you in the new #AmigaQuake.

Hyperion Interview und Completely New Layout for NoRiscNoFun
From today at the homepage of NoRiscNoFun you can find an up-to-date interview with Steffen Häuser and
Thomas Frieden of Hyperion Software.
The layout of the homepage was completely reworked. A first version of the Amiga linklist is available.
The linklist is to be getting a very detailed list for Amiga.
Furthermore a games forum was established in which you can publish your own ideas of games. So, maybe
there will be a developer to become busy to make your dreams come true.
