Nightlong almost finished
Nightlong is in the last stages of development. It took somewhat longer than planned,
since we had to wait for the new StormC version. Until now, we only recieved 150 preorders
for Nightlong PPC. Don't worry, we wouldn't let PPC down, but you will agree with us that
150 preorders aren't that much. More about it in the next "S-File". Nightlong can still be
preordered until Monday, April 17th.
The clickBOOM portal already offers a Nightlong trailer, which shows what the main actor
Joshua is capable of. There is a scaled down version of 8 MB and a big version with 22 MB.
The trailer is available to all print magazines for their CDs.

LightForce Status
I want to give just a small status report on the Lightforce project at this place,
since it has become pretty quiet around it. There were reasons: I have married,
and have been on honeymoon starting March 17th. So I was busy with much more
important issues the weeks before and afterwards... :-)
The rest of the team was busy, too. Sadly not busy on the project, but since it
is a spare time project, it is understandable when it takes time. There are good
news, too, however: I am back again, and continued work. The new menu system
is almost finished, and should be available soon. The new version will again be
available as downloadfile from the LightForce download page instead of being send
out by e-mail. Simply because interest has grown so big I cannot send an individual
version to everybody. This made me really happy, and I hope to get e-mail feedback
on my project in the future, too!
Andreas, all the best wishes from the Amiga News Team. You are absolutely right:
family comes first :-) (ps)

Amiga & Atari show

News from the Amiga & Atari show 2000
As reported before, The Amiga & Atari show 2000 (The World of Alternative -
World of Amiga & Atari) is taking place on June 10th / 11th (Whitsun weekend)
in the City Hall Neuss. Neuss is close to Düsseldorf, and therefore should be
easy to reach even for international Amiga users. AMIGA and many exhibitors are
announced, even Bill and Fleecy might show up; workshops, seminars, conferences
etc. are in the planning stage; best provisions to make it a real Happening :-).
The list of exhibitors has been updated. Aside from AMIGA, eighteen exhibitors have
announced themselves, with more to follow. amiga-news.de will also show up at the
show, so we can provide you with "first hand" information. We will manage the booth
together with the Amiga-Club im BTX & Internet.
The occassion to meet each other personally :-). The experts from the Amiga-Club
will provide answers to user's questions about everything Amiga. As at previous shows,
many small problems with Amiga hard- and software will be solved.
For PD and Shareware authors as well as clubs, there are options for a reasonably
priced presence at the show. E.g., for a table (120x60 cm) with two chairs, shareware
authors pay only 170,- including tax, so a nice opportunity to present your program
to a broad audience. More details can be found at the title link (German only), area
"Aussteller-Anmeldung".
I already notified the info line that it's a bad idea to advertise an "show easy
to reach even by international users", if the homepage is German only. :-/ (mb)

it, suggestions for improvement are wellcome.

they hope to get the disks.

COOL bits News
Monitors by Iiyama: New in our product line are the monitors by Iiyama. I had a look
at them on the CEBIT, and the quality persuaded me :-). These monitors are really
worth their price. On our reworked product site, a description of the monitors is
available.
Development at Amiga/Amiga2000 show in St. Louis: I must admit that I very much wellcome
the development :-). Finally, there are things moving at Amiga, and we get to see something
new. After all, this is the first time after more than 5 years that Amiga development
produces more than mere vapor. Among others, the cooperation with Corel and Red Hat brings
me to casual optimism. I can only hope that Amiga quickly continues on this path.
AmiJoe G3: Talks between Haage & Partner and Metabox concerning the 68k emulation
have not been finished sadly, which still delays production and delivery of the cards.
In the area News you will find many new stuff from the last weeks.
The link site has been completely reworked :-). If you want a link to your homepage added,
please contact me. The pages with the special offers have been slightly modified.

Heise: Gateway and AOL
to bring surf terminals
"On the Spring Internet World show in Los Angeles, AOL and Gateway for the first time
present their line of surf devices (Internet Appliances): A web-pad, a so-called
countertop device with cordless keyboard, and a desktop system. The countertop device,
basically a LCD screen with attachment, are planned to reach the market for christmas

Statement by Bill McEwen about the Amiga website
In his statement, Bill McEwen speaks about the problems with the new website. He will
do what he can so the website will be fully functional soon:
"As many people are aware we are having problems with the web site. This is
in no way a reflection of how we do business.
This is a reflection of the inherent problems of business relationships.
When Amino purchased all of the domains from Gateway for Amiga there was
more than one party involved in hosting Amiga web sites.
We have been working for months in getting everything transferred to our
servers and our ownership.
Now many of the people who were at Gateway/Amiga are no longer there, and we
still are having problems with their releasing the domains to us. This has
become very clear with our new web site, and the fact that thousands of mail
messages are not arriving.
We are working as quickly as possible on these issues, and hope to have all
of this resolved today. However there are some people (companies) who are
making this very difficult as they do not want to let go of our accounts. I
am purposely not mentioning their companies here in this message, but will
make it known if it becomes necessary.
I thank everyone for their patience as we more than frustrated at the lack
of professionalism in working with these companies, as we take control of
our web sites, and mail.
Best regards,
Bill McEwen

CamX project - what's it all about?
Martin Endres tells about the CamX project:
CamX can be described as "object oriented, modular data manager with alarm / timing system".
- CamX is NOT a MIDI/Audio sequencer, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is NOT a video editing system, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is NOT a automatic radiator control, even if it can be used as such.
- CamX is completely modular and can be adapted to your individual needs.
- Data/Structure Objects
There are "Data Objects" (e.g. samples, videos or MIDI events) and "Structure Objects"
(e.g. songs or tracks). These "Objects" own individual input and output ports and can
be controlled by their individual addresses. "Data Objects" can be included in the
system in any way you want.
- Ports with Pipeline
These object ports have a pipeline, where any data processing modules (e.g. filter)
can be added.
- Object Database
CamX has a database language, which can be used e.g. for selecting all MIDI events.
- External System Control
All system functions can be controlled externally, and are available for other programms.
So CamX can also be controlled by network / internet. The processing
modules can be distributed in the network.
- Object Editors
Editors are added as modules. Depending on the object type, the correct editor is opened.
An unlimited number of editors can be open simultaneously.
- GUI
The GUI / interface is modular, and can be changed and adapted anytime.
- I/O System
As I/O system, the ARTAS system by ACT will be employed.
Some example uses:
MIDI/Audio Sequencer - Video Editing System - Laser/Slideshow -
Controlling household and office devices - controlling of HiFi/multimedia devices -
DVD/MP3 player
Everything (soft- and hardware) sending or recieving data in any
form will be controllable by CamX, if the driver module is available.

The AmigaOS 3.5 is available now for some time. We want to know from you what you think
about it! What do you like in AmigaOS 3.5, and what do you dislike? What is missing, and
what is getting you upset in it? Or did you expand your AmigaOS 3.5 with additional tools?
Which tools do you use no longer?
Write to us!
We will release the results on our homepage! Of course, tips and tricks for AmigaOS 3.5

grafik-umsonst.de now with Amiga area
AMIGA. This device is cult. These pages are meant as a bow before the spirit of a creative
community. A sworn community, which after years of discontinued development holds high the
ideals of a computer that enabled multimedia even before that term was coined.
Due to this, an Amiga area
has been created (still under construction). Everyone owning an Amiga, or has created
pictures with one, can help. Many thanks to the Amiga-Magazin
for the friendy authorization.
Many other graphics of www.grafik-umsonst.de have also been created on Amiga: e.g. the
background series "am", "amnew" and "co" in the "Hintergrund" area, "big" and "at" in
"Hintergr2".

Bad news from IOM. Due to a hard drive crash all project files, all mails, addresses
and many more has been destroyed.
There is however a small chance to revive the hard drive. It is a
Quantum Fireball TM 3.2 GB SCSI HD, type 3200S P/N TM32S012 Rev 02-B
If someone has an idea, we would wellcome your input. If someone owns the same
disk and manages to unscrew the circuit board, we would be happy if we could
lend it for some time. The disk was connected to the CyberstormPPC SCSI controller,
formatted with SFS.
There will be a reward. Please call: +49 (0)9281 7676 990. We couldn't reconfigure
the e-mail access yet. Many thanks.

from Schindler times.
Changing IPs the week after such an important event; the information given at the show still not

before... I hope Amiga is better at R&D than they are at PR... (mb)

Jon Peterson has brought us this exclusive pictured report from the Amiga 2000 Show in St. Louis:
1) AmigaActive magazine. Group from UK with outstanding publication. Comes with cover CD each month. This month features the full version of Scala 1.2. Very well done publication for the Amiga. Representing the company were Mark Hinton.
2) Amiga concept design for a tower config. This model shown at the banquet.
3) Another concept design for a desktop model. Just throwing out some ideas..
4) Some of the BoXeR cases being displayed at the show. BoXeR received some very good "promises" of support from AI at the show. Let's hope to see it out...........soon!
5) CompuQuick booth at the show. The largest booth with hundreds and hundreds of CDs as well as just about anything you are looking for in Amiga hardware. Give them a call.
6) Bill McEwen makes the opening speech at the Developer's Conference.
7) Fleecy Moss takes the microphone for the full commitment to a crowded developer's room.
8) Individual Computers from Aachen, Germany that produces the Buddha products represented by Jens Schönfeld and Sarah Wittermann with the SoftwareHut folks. Some outstanding hardware products made available for the Amiga. Take a look at their ethernet boards with IDE controller(s) onboard. Amazing!
9) Jürgen Haage and Markus Pöllmann preparing for demonstrations of wares from Haage & Partner. StormC, AmigaWriter, and ArtEffect v4.0.
10) Hyperion gaming wares.
11) Kermit Woodall of NovaDesigns gives an outstanding demonstration of the ImageFX v4 capabilities.
12) Holger Kruse of Nordic Global giving lessons and demonstrations of
Miami Deluxe. The first non-beta version will be available this week.
13) Holger Kruse and Jeff Kreis of Rebol demonstrating some scripts.
14) Mr. Hardware - another great booth exhibiting at the show. Most of the
software for Amiga was available.
15) Nova Designs owner Kermit Woodall and Corianna Cohn representing the company. Demos for both ImageFX and Aladdin were run during the show.
16) Petro Tyschtschenko awards a crystal plaque to A2K show organizer Bob Scharp at the opening ceremonies.
17) Opening day setup for the show. Crowds made it a traffic jam.
18) Petro Tyschtschenko and Jürgen Haage in discussions prior to opening ceremonies.
19) Paul Nolan of PhotoGenics with his lovely wife Ela demonstrating v4.5 of the program. PhotoGenics was very well received and Paul sold out for the show.
20) Markus Pöllmann of Haage & Partner giving a demonstration of StormC compiler during the show.
21) Bob Scharp and Bill McEwen make opening day presentation during the show.
22) Deron Kazmeier of Soft Logik showing off the latest version of the program for the big three OSs. Version 4.5 available shortly. Deron received the AAA award for outstanding Amiga software at the show.
One more thing I just remembered. I was talking to Paul Brestyanszky of AntiGravity at his booth in A2K show. They have purchased the Boxer board and technology effective now. He also received a very good promise of support from Bill McEwen during the show. He mentioned that he had made some good connections during the show to locate hardware for completion of the board which will enable them to (hopefully) get it completed quickly (this year?).

Amiga2K: BoXer News
Roger Wyatt reports: "Anti-Gravity Products, Santa Monica, California bought the BoXer Technologie from Access Innovations. Blittersoft will manage the worldwide retail.
Paul Lesurf of Blittersoft will become the boss of the office in England. Mick Tinker will work as manager of the BoXer developer section for Anti-Gravity. The BoXer will be manufactured by Anti-Gravity in California (in Los Angeles or Palmdale).
Paul B. of Anti-Gravity has presented the BoXer at the banquet of the
Amiga 2K Show. One could see that this computer is far beyond the
prototyp status. Actually the developing is in its final and test phase.

Miriam 2.0 Homepage reworked
The layout has been reworked by IOM and the screenshot have been shrunk. The main page is now using Javascript.
Miriam 2.0 is a software which controls Lanetco
videosplitt computers like those used in monitor walls. Since the
original software runs under MS-DOS, a software had been especially
developed for the Amiga and used during the Amiga International Inc.
Apparition at the Computer '98 fair. In the meanwhile this software has
been improved and developed further and has now more functionality than
the DOS version. The communication with the splitt computer is also
faster th
an under MS-DOS. So Miriam is an powerful Amiga software which can be
used in professional presentation business.
