Shoutcast/Icecast Client Released for the Amiga
Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz has written a Shoutcast/Icecast Client for the Amiga
and called it "StreAmi". There are two very popular audio streaming systems called
Icecast and Shoutcast which are able to send MPG audio compressed audio data
through the net. StrAmi allows you to fetch these audio files from any server
and listen to them in real time.
This way, you can very easily listen to radio via internet. The program has a
MUI interface and requires nothing more than a TCP/IP stack like Miami or AmiTCP
and of course a fast internet access. You'll find lists of servers at
www.shoutcast.com and
www.icecast.org.

Amiga Impact Cooperates with Planet
Online magazines increasingly cooperate with print magazines. The French
online and news magazine "Amiga Impact" announces to cooperate in future
with the print magazine "Planet".
amiga-news.de for example cooperates with the German
Amiga Magazin.
These partnerships are very positive for both sides as resource sharing means
that the print magazines can concentrate on the editing of the news without
having to spend considerable time to look for news.

valuable prices...
Who wants to try this, and maybe would like to put a short leave in Italy through this demo party which
will take place on November 4th, 2000: all the necessary information (also a detailed way description)
is to find at the titlelink. You can also download an invitation intro there (about 200 KB / AGA).

A.C.T. Stops Amiga Sponsoring
From the end of October 2000 A.C.T. and the co-operating ISP will stop all sponsoring actions
for the Amiga area. This will also concern every sites hosted at "amiga-software.com".
Single developers or groups who are sponsored up to now have already been contacted via e-mail, but
many of the addresses don't seem to work any more or the people are no longer interested in
Amiga.
Hence A.C.T. asks all web admins whose sites are sponsored or hosted by A.C.T. to move these sites to another
provider by the end of October 2000.
For some of the sites - among them amigasystem.org - the web admins are looking for successors, because otherwise
these sites would be canceled outright. Also concerned by the sponsoring stop is the hardware and software
sponsoring: from now on A.C.T. will not deliver hardware or software products for free to "up-coming projects" or similar.

ACT: FAQ on Sponsoring Stop
- The domain names will not be canceled for the time being, but either will be released exempt from charges to the
sponsoring receivers or will be sold in early/middle 2001.
- I beg you to refrain from offering adoption of certain sites to me via e-mail. Contact persons are the web masters.
Since the domains will not be canceled, the web space could be hosted "anywhere". I would like to care for DNS changes.
- Our partners, and ourselves of course will continue to host sites at our usual conditions, if desired by the web masters.
It just doesn't match our future business plans to operate this special area for free.

FUBAR - New War Simulation
The new game "FUBAR" by Rosande Ltd. is distributed by Blittersoft and will probably be released in November 2000.
But it can be ordered in advance in the shops from now on!
At Q-Lab you can buy a cd with musics of FUBAR.
FUBAR is a war simulation. The scenario of the game shows you what happens if a war begins, and forces you
as the player to take all necessary steps to finish the war. The conception of the game is to rule the
whole world, all countries, and all people. To be successful you can slip into different roles, because
ruling the world is not an easy task.
You will be the general of thousands of armies, the president of the whole mankind, but in addition the
leading scientist, manager, diplomat, and banker. Each of this roles is in touch with the military, civilians,
research, financial world, and has got connections to other competitors who are striking for the same goal as you do.

short texts for each novel, pictures of the title of the magazins, and of the paperbacks, and much much more.

Heise: Initiative Bill against Internet-Patents in the USA
Howard Berman and Rick Boucher, two congressmen of the democrats, have introduced an initiative bill which
is supposed to restrict the possibility to patent business methods in the USA.
Above all the Business Method Patent Improvement Act addresses the rapidly increasing use of
patents for business methods.
Crucial point of the act is the declarative statement, that implementation of so called "Real-World"-business processes
on computers does not worthy being patented.
In addition the representatives want to establish the possibility of raising an objection against patents without being
forced to bring such action at law. See titlelink for full article (German).

software giant from Redmond purchased 24 million non-voting shares at
5.625 USD each. Those can be converted into fully voting shares;
holding almost 25 percent of the entire capital stock would make Microsoft one

Modification of Hypercom 3plus Module (Goldsurfer) for IOBlix Emulation Mode

scanners and ZIP-drives can be used with the Hypercom. The Hypercom Zorro cards are already
primed for this, however the modules for the A1200, Buddha, Catweasel and the X-Surf
(also sold as "Goldsurfer) need a minor technical modification. At the title link,

Eternity - New Distributor of the MAS-player
Since October 1st, 2000 Eternity took over the distribution of the MAS-Player in
cooperation with Dirk Conrad. The MAS-Player is a hardware MP3-player that can be used
with every Amiga parallel interface. The program plays MP3's in 18bit and
44kHz with very low CPU usage and is therefore the best and cheapes solution for playing MP3-files
with an Amiga computer.
A techpage will follow. Eternity will ask Thomas Wenzel if he would support the
MAS-Player with his AmigaAmp. Eternity will offer a 6 month guarantee.
Examples of Usage:
- Amiga 4000/A1200 with MAS-Player. Listen to MP3-music without using the PPC or
68k processor. Your processor is available for other tasks
- Amiga CDTV with MAS-Player could play MP3's directly from CD.
- Amiga 500/600 with MAS-Player could be a replacement for your hifi-radio. The
integrated MP3-player-software uses PAL. There for you can use a TV.
- Amigas located in professional soundstudios could encode MP3 (using the processor)
and play MP3's at the same time (using the MAS-Player)

New LAMEbeta Version 3.87
New LAME beta version 3.87! Ok, first off, since version 3.87 LAME no
longer works with SecondSpin without changing the code and recompiling,
thus LameSpin no longer works, and is no longer included, sorry! :/
On the good note this version is slightly faster, especially the PPC
version! ;) (Note, WarpOS still has problems .. this is most likely
either ppclibemu or WarpOS's fault since it works fine with PowerUP
and MorphOS) From now on the 060 and PPC version use LAME's internal
mpglib for decoding, so if you still want to use mpega.library (which
is much faster), use the 040 version...

New CD-Rom for Movieshop
Starding today the 3rd issue of 'Space-Effects' is available from Elastic Images. The CD
contains video sequences that can be used in (mainly Movieshop) video productions. The scenes are
available as Movieshop's own sequence format and as single-frame-sequences, so you can use the clips with every
Movieshop version.
Every clip can be integrated in a currently opend Movieshop project directly from CD. A short
preview is available at the homepage at 'Software/Video-CDs'.

VMC-ISDN V3 Timefix Update
The recovering of a bug now proved our software being forward-looking. When current system time was set
via ISDN additional 25 years were added ;-). Thanks to an extended bug-report via e-mail this error

AmiWolfenDoom Website Moved, and one Appeal
The AmiWolfenDoom homepage has moved and is now available at www.antibyte.de (titlelink). Robert
Wahnsiedler is still on the hunt for a person that is able to modify the ADoom-engine for making
Ninja-, Simpson and Batman-Doom possible. According to the downloadrates of AmiWolfenDoom the
interest of the users is very high.
For the modifycations you must have C/Assembler skills and you have to read the docs. There are no
major changes to make but the DEH support must be revisde (patch of the internal
graphic/sound/textroutines by using a Ascii-file with commands). For example there is no
recognition of text. This causes games that use these kind of functions to crash.
appeal
Furthermore Robert Wahnsiedler is looking for someone who is willing to modify the game
Imperium Terranum II for the Amiga community. The sourcecode is public available and there
is an absolutely resourceful StarTrek addon available. The main problem is that it does not run very good
on graphics boards, the only way is to use a tool like NewMode, but this is a not very stable
solution. If you are interested, please contact Robert Wahnsiedler.

Amiga Arena News
The TextLoaderNG keyfile is now freely available for all Amiga users! Every visitor of Amiga
Arena can download the keyfile. After releasing it for Amiga Arena CD ROM users Pascal Gisin
agreed to release the keyfile for all users. I would like to say thank you for doing so!
TextLoaderNG is a Hex editor with many functions, for example:
- Filter for Word, Wordperfect, MSWork, ANSI, FinalWriter, Wordworth and many more
- HTML-code removing
- converter
- text encoding
The development of TextloaderNG will go on and the program will run without a keyfile in future.

SENDER V1.0 - AMIGA Program with Windows Touch
'SENDER' is a small freeware program to move or copy any file to any directory from the Workbench.
It leans on the WINDOWS send menue, but uses a handy AppIcon.
'SENDER' is easy to install (I just tried it successfully) and one can further configure it for his needs after
the basic installation.
The titlelink leads you to a short description of the program, and to the download link (80 KB).

VMC-ISDN V3 is now Online Officially!
Thanks to the many friendly beta-testers we now are able to offer an official
version for the new VMC-ISDN software for all of the interested, and each
owner of an Amiga ISDN board.
Though this version still doesn't has all the features VMC is currently working on,
but it fits to make users realize there is no faster driver for ISDN boards for the Amiga.
This version also contains complete example configuration files for every German Call-by-Call
internet providers, and Miami or MiamiDeluxe.
Since like all the time users have been asking for prices, functions or limitations
of the drivers an extensive AmigaGuide document was included, which hopefully
answers all these questions.

County Court Cologne confirms "Explorer"-Dissuasiveness against Heise
«In the quarrel about the use of the "Explorer" term the county court Cologne
confirmed their dissuasiveness against the Verlag Heinz Heise by a just pronounced judgement.
The publishing house will immediately appeal to this not so surprising judgement by the
county court Cologne, and they intent on having better chances of success at the next
instance, especially at the background of the recently "Explorer"-decision in Duesseldorf.
Furthermore the Verlag Heinz Heise in the meantime applied at the German office for
patents and trademarks the erease of the disputed trademark "Explorer".»

fxSCAN SE No Longer Part of ScanQuix 5
RBM decided some time ago not to purchase serial numbers for fxSCAN SE versions
from us, any longer. As a result of this the at this time delivered and long before
produced ScanQuix CDs admittedly come with fxSCAN SE, but without a serial number
cause RBM no longer owns a license for these. Due to this we beg you to refrain from
asking us for free serial numbers, cause these were not payed by RBM and will not
be deliverd by us afterwards. Because of that fxSCAN from now only can be purchased
as a full version. Please, refrain from using serial numbers from other people, cause
this would be unlawful.
