Boing Bag 2 News
Martin Steigerwald wrote to the AmigaOS 3.5 ML: "About news to Boing Bag 2 (second update
to AmigaOS 3.5), I can only tell you that it is under development. There are some bugs
left to fix. It is to be released as soon as possible, but at first we have to fix the
known bugs so we cannot give a release date yet."
WARNING: DiskCopy v44 does not work correctly with partitions beyond 4 GB, and can even
lead to data loss. It is as of now untested if Format v44 can lead to problems. A certain
caution is adviced. Boing Bag 2 will contain fixed versions.

Intermediate status report / new web and e-mail addresses
The fact that I have not yet released new updates for ArtecScan, FMdriver, CGXBlanker,
PPCjpeg etc. does not mean I have cancelled the projects! On the contrary: many new
improvements are already planned, some even already implemented - I am lacking the time
necessary for completing them. The reason: Right now I have numerous other (Amiga related)
tasks to tend to.
Nevertheless there are some changes: My homepage is now available at the new domain
www.qdev.de. Starting immediately, my new e-mail
address is also valid: stefan.robl@qdev.de.
The old addresses will remain valid parallely for a long time, however I suggest adjusting
the bookmarks / address books now.
As a small gimmick, my homepage has another (hardware) photography - of a Zorro II autoconfig
board for the A500, which I built/developed years ago. There will be news about this within
the year. More about it later... :)

xpkGZIP for WarpOS
Since the asyncio.library has been ported to WarpOS, I ported the GZIP module for Xpk to WarpOS,
which performed very well even under 68k.
It offers fantastic compression and decompression speeds, and currently is the best and fastest
Xpk packer for the Amiga. Due to the extremly good performance, it is the perfect module of choice
for the Xpk filesystem. Compression with up to 750 kB/sec. and decompression with about 5 MB/sec.,
with compression rates of about 80% are possible! It has been uploaded to Aminet.
Download (22 kB)
Moreover, the icon contest for Digital Almanac is over. Winner is Dieter Klisch. Congratulations!
The graphics will soon be on display on the DA homepage.

Graphics contest - deadline extended
Due to the pityful response, the graphics contest of the Amiga magazine
amiga.topcool has
been extended to May 31st. The supergame "Shadow Of The Third Moon" can be won.
Theme of the title page is Turboboards - More power for Amigas (tests of 68k and PPC
turboboard reviews). Raytracing pictures would be nice, but pictures with 2D effects
are ok too. The speed / power of the turboboard(s) should be felt while looking at the
picture. The picture should be b/w-enabled (means, high contrast). Please mail your
submissions - the chance for winning is really big! The artist creating the best
picture (which will be used, too) will get the game.

VWP News: Java/Kaffe for BeOS
After the documentation How to Install Java
for BeOS has been expanded, the BeKaffe homepage vanished. The new URL
is sadly still offline. So the JavaRunner for BeOS
is pretty useless after all, since BeKaffe cannot be downloaded anywhere. If someone has the original and,
if possible, complete BeKaffe package (.pkg file and / or source code), please contact us so the BeKaffe
homepage or a mirror can be put online as soon as possible.

Innovative celebrates 5th birthday!
Innovative is five years old! For five years, we have been working for the AMIGA®, and
in this time frequently pushed it forward with our uniquely innovative and low-cost software.
Due to this, for one month (up to and including June 21st) we lower the price for fxPAINT
to 109,- DM. You save 30,- DM!! If you have been planning to purchase the fastest image
processor and jack-of-all-trades in the graphics area for the AMIGA®, this is the
opportunity!

hardware head Jon Rubinstein and Marketing head Phil Schiller demonstrated a Power Macintosh
G4 with dual PowerPC-7400 CPUs. The two stressed that the system is only a technology
demonstration. It is not a product announcement, not even a product promise. So, the system
remained hidden under the table for the whole demonstration."
