Version 4 of this popular graphic program has many new features and enhancements. Special attention was given to the layer functions, that are now very flexible and powerful.

PowerOS


PowerOS - Open Source Part 2
Claus Hermann beginnning of May announced that the project because of lack of time and resources has come to a halt, and he therefore has decided to release the soucecode and continue with the project on an open source basis. Claus has now started the second phase of this ans now writes: Ok, the Source files are ready. The Developer page is still being modified. "How is this OpenSource supposed to work", you may be asking yourself. Very easy. Anyone that is interested just needs to write an email to developer@poweros.de.

Many have asked if that is it for PowerOS. No, naturally not. This is only the first phase of the project. I am trying with this project to reach as many people as possible. Even the normal non-programming user is welcome, for things such as ideas and other input. With this PowerOS will not be a simple clone of AmigaOs, but somthing new, indepentant and better.

AmiWest Press Release 3
AmiWest will be held on the 29th and 30th of June in Sacremento, California. It is the largest convention on the west coast. You can read about details at www.sacc.org/amiwest/.

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Preliminary list of exhibitors at AmiWest 2000 announced!

A prliminary list of companies and clubs that are either participating in or exhibiting at AmiWest 2000 has been posted on our web page at http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/

AmiWest 2000 is the west coast all Amiga show which is being produced in Sacramento, California, at the popular Holiday Inn, Sacramento NorthEast, 5321 Date Avenue Sacramento, CA 95841, on Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30th, 2000. The Holiday Inn venue proved to be such a hit for last year's show that we are again holding it there.

Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.

AmiWest is in it's third year and is the only all Amiga show produced on the West Coast. The show has proved very popular for Amiga enthusiasts in the Western United States.

This preliminary list of exhibitors includes AEMail, which produces an email client for the Amiga; Amiga, Inc., the producers of the Amiga; AntiGravity, which makes the BoXer; AudioLabs, producers of stunning audio software for the Amiga; Compuquick Media Center, an Amiga dealer coming all the way from Ohio; FWD Computing, selling CD-ROMS for the Amiga; G & G Publications, producers of "The New Amigans" Amiga publication; Hyperion Entertainment Software, producing game software for the Amiga; Merlanica Industries, another Amiga dealer coming from Arizona; Nordic Global Inc., developers of the "Miami" and "Miami Deluxe" TCP/IP stack software for the Amiga; Nova Designs, Inc., makers of "ImageFX" (image processing software) and "Aladdin 4D" (3-D rendering software); the Sacramento Amiga Computer Club (SACC); and the User Group Network (UGN), the world-wide Amiga network of user groups which will be conducting an IRC directly from the AmiWest 2000 show floor.

We are adding new exhibitors daily. Watch our web site for the latest updates.

If you are interested in exhibiting at AmiWest 2000, please submit the form that is provided on our web page. We need to know early who will be exhibiting. Booth sizes and pricing are now posted. Special booth pricing will be available for user groups.

In April at the A2K show in St. Louis, the newly reorganized Amiga, Inc announced many advances in the three short months since the purchase of the Amiga by Amino (renamed Amiga, Inc.) from Gateway. The Amiga appears to have a new life that is definately on an upswing. The new Amiga Corporation is headed by Bill McEwen who can be remembered by participants at both AmiWest'98 and AmiWest'99 as a very enthusiastic supporter of the Amiga. Also part of the Amiga team are long time Amigans Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko.

Strategic alliances have been formed with such well known names in the computing world as Tao-Group, Red Hat, and Corel. In addition partnerships have been formed with well known Amiga companies such as Haage & Partner, Hyperion, and Epic Marketing. All of these companies will be producing software for the new Amigas.

After what has transpired in three months, four more months should bring many more announcements from Amiga, Inc. at AmiWest 2000.

You can learn more about AmiWest 2000 by accessing our web page at:

http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/

This weekend event will again showcase the progress that IS the Amiga Community.

USA AAA Awards results

For Immediate Release
Permission Granted To Redistribute Without Alteration

Contact:

Martin Sahlén - director@aaa-awards.org, +46-8-673 73 23 - Director, The AAA Awards
Bob Scharp - bscharp@icon-stl.net - Amiga 2k organizer

Stockholm, Sweden - Sunday, May 14, 2000.

The 1999 USA AAA Awards were presented at the Amiga 2k show in St. Louis, April 1-2 2000. The first USA AAA Awards went to Kermit Woodall (Community) and SoftLogik Publishing (Product). Please accept our sincere apologies for this late announcement.

We hope to provide you with photo coverage of the event soon, available at www.aaa-awards.org/winners/1999.php.

The Community award

The AAA Award USA - Community 1999 went to Kermit Woodall of Nova Design. He was selected the greatest 1999 US Amiga personality by the US Amiga community in the public voting.
The motivation given was:

"For being an inspiration to the US Amiga community, with never failing commitment, by attending shows, involvement in initiatives such as ICOA and the AAC, and always giving appreciated support to the community and dealers."

The Product Award

This year also marked the launching of the first Product awards. The AAA Award USA - Product 1999 went to SoftLogik Publishing, represented by owner Deron Kazmaier. Their DTP package PageStream 4 was selected the best US Amiga product!
The exact motivation given by the jury was:

"Best product released for the Amiga, and certainly the best publishing package available in it's price performance class. SoftLogik has been a rock in the Amiga community, developing good products like PageStream for many years. It is without doubt that Amiga would not be able to hold even the position it does today, without products like PageStream 4."

Still to come... ...is the AAA Award International, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom! Please check our homepage www.aaa-awards.org for up-to-date information on where & when.

Asimware with new website
The great AsimCDFS seems to be gone! Asimware recreated their homepage, and there is nothing to be seen of AMIGA products! Only HotBurn!

We asked Asimware about it, and yesterday recieved this answer from Richard Giannini: "We will have the downloads for AsimCDFS and MasterISo return shortly. The download code has to be rewritten to fit the new web site structure. I apologize for the confusion."

clickBOOM: S-files #4
The adventure Nightlong, which spans 3 CDs, is going into final testing stage. At clickBOOM it was already successfully played under AmigaOS 3.5. The CDs contain the animation sequences in low and high resolution. The high one is for PPC and 060 systems, the small one for 040 and 030 Amigas.

The Amiga port of the game classic "Z" by the Bitmap Brothers is 50% ready. The port is very difficult, since Z is written in Assembler, but the most difficult part is done.

AminetGUI now with AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive)
The Aminet-GUI has a new feature! Starting immediately is AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive). This is an archive containing the weekly upload lists. They can be sorted by date or directory. As a special service, I will also offer the so-called Top Aminet Uploads. These are uploads I described briefly. They can also be found on the AmigaFuture homepage, since I create them on their behalf.

Atari-Lynx emulator: Handy v1.05
On May 12th, Mathias Roslund released the Amiga version v1.05 of Keith Wilkins' Atari Lynx emulator "Handy". With this release, the Amiga version closes the gap to the Windows version.

The Amiga version is based on Handy v0.70 and offers high compatibility. It supports the CD32 joypad, running on CGFx screen modes with a resolution of 320x200. Some of the changes since the last version:
  • Change: now uses ReadArgs instead of custom CLI subroutines
  • Change: by pressing HELP, a screenshot can be saved in PCX format
  • New: support for Nostalgia
  • New: SCREENMODE parameter support

Handy requires an Amiga with PPC board, WarpUP v4.0+, 16 MB RAM, AGA or CGFx. Additionally, the lynxboot.img file is required.

The handheld game console "Lynx" (with color screen) was developed by R.J. Mical, Dale Luck and others for Epyx. Distribution was done by Atari. It was released at the same time as the Nintendo Gameboy, but was not successful due to the higher price and lower run time, due to the color display.

Development system for Lynx games was the Amiga.

AmigaTalk v1.5
AmigaTalk version 1.5 is a GUI version of 'Little Smalltalk' (v1.0 by Tim Budd) for Amiga systems, enabling using almost all Intuition and some OS functions from SmallTalk. It is being worked upon supporting more OS functions, but AmigaTalk is far from being complete.

However the system is stable, and additionally contains a collection of test files as well as a detailed documentation.

AmigaTalk requires AmigaOS v3.5+, a CPU 68040+ and 2 MB free drive space. Additionally, DeckBrowser from InovaTronics is required. The author offers to send the CanDo libraries or the DeckBrowser upon request.

Smalltalk is a programming language developed in the 80ies by Alan Kay at Xerox, and is considered being THE OOP language.

Submission: Interested in gfx module for DKB Wildfire?
Since the "Inferno" gfx card for the 68060 accelerator "Wildfire" from DKB was not produced, and as a reaction to many discussions on the Wildfire mailinglist on possible alternatives, a survey has been started at the title link to judge how many are interested and which features are wanted.

This does not come with a promise that something will be produced, or any company be contacted.

SWOS Euro 2000 probably won't appear
SWOS Euro 2000 by ALIVE Mediasoft will probably not be released due to lack of time.

A new version of SWOS is ready and could be released in time for Euro 2000, but ALIVE Mediasoft is lacking the time to get all the team and player names into the program. If there is somebody willing to help, perhaps the game could be released in time.

Independantly, a new version will appear for the next UK season in August.

Aminet-GUI now banner-free again
Alexander Kurtz writes:
Due to me doing my military service in the Luftwaffe starting May 1st, 2000, only now I saw that Prohosting has changed their rules and is now placing a banner to every page ending on .html or .htm.

These banners sadly destroyed the looks, if not the usability of the GUI. Due to my military service I was able to react only now. The GUI should be free again of Prohosting banners in all important frames. So it is again possible to navigate the page, and make use of it.

I want to say sorry to all visitors of my site, and warmly invite you to visit my site again as frequently as before. Soon I will create an archive saving the upload lists, so they can be saved for reference. I can NOT check them for obsolete files, however, but would welcome hints.

Again I want to stress that I am maintaining the GUI all alone, and that I am still looking for someone interested in assisting me, since my online time is right now limited to weekends. Please contact aminet@web.de.

Confusion about ATC v1.1
While uploading the final version v1.1 of the FTP client AmiTradeCenter to Aminet there was a delay, giving the impression the archive was not uploaded successfully (while, in fact, it was successful). Due to this confusion, another beta version of ATC v1.1 (prerelease 8) was published on the program's homepage. Please simply think of this as prerelease 1 of ATC v1.2.

Remarks on asyncio.library V40
First of all many thanks for the positive response to the new library!
I haven't expected one misunderstanding, though, which I'd like to put right.

The 68k functions are NOT faster under WarpOS! You only get the speed increase if you call the new PPC functions from a PPC!!

The reason is the context switch! If you would access the PPC from the 68k side, you'd get a switch every time that would slow down the system! In this case the library would be even slower. Existing programs that run under WOS would have to be adapted for the new PPC functions!

I hope I haven't killed the entire euphoria, but the many feedbacks regarding this make this correction necessary. If somebody has any interest, I would be glad about a V40 version for PowerPC. Sadly, I can't realize that (yet).

ATC v1.1 prerelease 8
On May, 9th 2000 the prerelease 8 of version 1.1 of the FTP-client AmiTradCenter is published. The programm is able to parse FTP-URLs and offers ADT (Aminet Directory Tool) -support. Changes to version 7 of the prerelease are:
  • change: improved check of "Ram:/ram disk:"
  • change: the FTP-Type command is not sended until next change of type
  • change: the way the ftp.lib checks the result of the ABOR command and the EOT has changed, so the programm should be more compatible
  • bugfix: the serverlist was displayed as hosted if the first entry in the .profile-file was a list and this was marked as active server
  • bugfix: if the mode of a running but not connected serverentry was changed and then a connection to this server was established the GUI did not show the new mode
  • change: the ADT-buttons (dl readmes, keep dirtree...) are moved to the server-group of the main-preferences program
  • bugfix: ATC was not able to set the active server if you are not using the patched listtree.mcc class
  • change: if a server is added to a closed group now the group is opened before the entry is added

Download:ATC 1.1pre8.lha

asyncio.library v40 with WarpOS
Many developers know it - the "asyncio.library", which can significantly speed up media access by asynchronous transfer. It is now available with WarpOS support, while being 100% compatible with v39, and still being usable with a pure 68k. The disk access with WarpOS functions is about twice as fast as with 68k functions.

The archive is freeware. Developers wanting to use the new library can use the archive for free. An Aminet upload will follow (util/libs).
Download: asyncioppc.lha - 23 kB.

SDK for PageStream
Deron Kazmaier is currently assembling a developer package for third parties, which will enable the development of expansions (like filters, printer drivers, bitmap effects, speech and scanner modules etc.) for the DTP software "PageStream" by SoftLogik.

There will probably a fifth mailinglist being opened for this, targeted on questions and developer support. Additionally, SoftLogik is looking for help improving the documentation and the examples of the SDK as well as clarifying what is needed in such a developer package.
