Coyote Flux Opens Temporary Website
Since the 68k->PPC assembly porter/language PPC680x0 was finished a little while ago,
Coyote Flux has opened a temporary website at www.coyoteflux.tmfweb.nl
PPC680x0 will be released on Haage&Partner's StormC 4 CD
appearing in October this year. Take a look at the website to find
out more about PPC680x0, Burnin' Rubber 2000, Super Amicon and more...
PPC680x0 is an assembler program which is able to convert 680x0 sourcecode
to PPC sourcecode. This could change all 68k programs easily to PPC. The
programmers, by the way, are the guys who had to pose as a popular
camera subject
with their Amiga bobble hats on almost all fairs.

Heise: Quarrel about Words: After Explorer and Samba now ASP
«After Explorer, Webspace and Samba now another popular EDP term
became the object of trademark quarrels: the specialist book author Volker
Jungbluth asked several companies in the last weeks to refrain from using
his wordmark "ASP".»
«1998, Jungbluth registered the describing term "Site Promotion" as
wordmark and then sent the internet consultor Andreas Roemer a warning
plus a cashing up of 1895,21 D-Mark (about US$900) because of alleged
trademark violation.»
«The German ASP consortium which represents more than 60 companies,
has called upon Jungbluth to draw back the registered trademark. Jungbluth
denied this, said consortium speaker Werner Grohmann: ",Now our lawyers become
active; currently an expert's report is beeing made."»

Heise: Wave of dissuasions against Open Source Network Software Samba (Update)
«Offerors of support for the open source software Samba are effected by a
wave of dissuasions. Several companies part of a
list in the web
recieved a letter demanding them no longer to offer, advertise for, distribute or utilize Samba for buissnes communiction.
Samba is an application which allows to use Unix and Linux platforms for server and client in a Windows network.
This free for download program belongs to the most popular successful projects of the open source software area.
The name SaMBa comes from the SMB protocoll used in Windows networks.» Entire article at the titlelink (German).
In the meanwhile I have a notion that dissuasions are mutating
into a marketing strategy and are no longer
ought to enforce rights, but only to serve the purpose to arrest
attention. The senders of these dissuasions can be sure of the
entire press to jump at this subject. The advertising effect is
invaluable, cause even negative advertising is in
fact advertising, as already well known. That often very enthusiastic
people who worked hard and often without
any payment for their project are driven to economic ruin by this, is
just the fly shit falling through the grid. :-(
Supplement 04 Aug 2000:
CMG statement on SAMBA
«In the meanwhile emerged the responsibility of name for open source software belongs to an Australian internet company.
CMG will contact this company and try to achieve an agreement, so that the in Germany incidentally same name can no longer
lead to any misconceptions.
At the same time CMG will stop the dissuasiveness procedure against the contacted companies, which just offer
support for the open source software. Also no further dissuasivenesses are planned. After all it is not CMG's intention
to harm the buisness of open source offerors or to handicap distribution or use of these products.»

AROS Status Update
Date: Tue, 1 Aug 2000 12:00:20 +0200
To: AROS Announce mailto:aros-announce@aros.org
Reply-To: aros-announce@lists.hepe.com
Subject: [AROS-Announce] Status update
BGUI has been completely ported to AROS, now. This means that the library
can be compiled and that all demos run. Cudos go to Stefan Berger.
Michael Schulz is working on making mice work on AROS Native/i386.
This includes work on a PCI.HIDD, an IRQ.HIDD, the VGA.HIDD and the
Serial.HIDD plus an IDE driver. Trackdisk is there, too, so the
next thing is to find a filesystem to use. We try to get SFS because
it seems one of the best filesystems for the Amiga at this time.
The SFS developers seem to be very positive to this, we'll see what
comes from it.
As for the Sowatec AG hiring
developers for AROS, all I can say at this time is that we had several
job interviews and things look quite good. The only thing that might
break it at this time (as I see it) is that we get not enough people.
We figured that we need four developers and last I looked, we had three
and one interview still open. Don't hold your breath but press your
thumbs :-)
Nils Henrik Lorentzen has begun to write a framebuffer.HIDD which
uses Linux' framebuffer for rendering. Right now, it's mostly for
debugging (it's a synchronous interface instead of X11s' asynchronous
one) but maybe, there will be a AROS Native/linux-i386, ie. a
version of AROS that will boot with the help of a Linux kernel
but without the need to install a complete Linux system. We'll
see what can be done here.
And I'm diving into the depths of Ami, the SDK for the next Amiga
by Amiga Inc.. As it looks, the
SDK is a bit disappointing because it's very rough and has lots of
holes but on the positive side, Amiga's crew is very helpful and
the developer support is just great. *sigh* Had we just had such
a support in the old C= days. Many thanks for their effort go to
Ray A. Akey and Gary Peake and all the members of the
Tao and Amiga
support staff that I'm bombing with EMails ;-) If they can keep this
attitude, then I have no doubt that in five or ten years, people
will name Ami in the same breath as Windows, EPOC and Linux.
Something really to look forward to.
As for stats, I'm proud that we made 40k hits on our web page and
this year has also been very productive from the EMail side: Last
year, there were about 300KB mails/month in the developer list.
This year, we have 1MB mails/month ! Thanks go to all those
members of the development team that have not been mentioned here
but who do important stuff, nonetheless (in no order): Henning
Kiel and Lars Bischoff for reporting bugs, Georg Steger for
cleaning up after the other developers have raged through the
code and calling me back to earth when necessary, Jaime Dias for
asking "stupid" questions that make us think what we're doing,
Manuel Lemos for trusting us with BGUI, Requin Frederic for
helping Michael Schulz, Tobias Seiler for continuing the NetBSD
port, Bernardo Innocenti for bugging people to allow us to port
their software to AROS and last but not least all those people
who I forgot :-) Thanks to you all; it's your
work that makes this possible.
And at the end, a short note to all those people who started own
ports of the AmigaOS: Good luck to you all. I think you will find
out soon enough why AROS took soo long. The AROS team is still
willing to share their knowledge and code with everyone out
there. And we can do this because of the MPL, the only true Open
Source license :-)

"Publius" - The Web against Internet Censorship beeing Tested
«"Share and rule" - the classic formula to ensure one's power now apparently is turning against
the governing people. Initiated by computer scientists from AT&T and the New York University a two month lastig
experiment of a "censorship resident" publication system starts. On Tuesday 02. August 2000 the distribution
of the proxy server shall start up, on 7. August 2000 the testing of the client software will begin.
The Publius named system ensures the promulgation of web releases
similar to FreeNet by putting them on numerous servers using the
peer-to-peer technique, and under some circumstances this will be done by splitting the files. Hence it becomes harder for
potential or existing censorship offices to close documents in this system by carrier liabilities. More over that Publius
relies on multible endcoding: It is only possible to decode the pages after all the splitted framents has been put
together again. For the carrier of a server those pages are unreadble. For this reason the carrier cannot be hold
responsible for content he/she is not able to know.»

Mojo Nation: Another new System for File Sharing
«While Napster and Scour (after music the movies) are fighting for their future and one of the
atlernative share servers, CuteMX, had closed for the time beeing waiting for the smoke to disapear,
which came from the injunction against Napster, which was suspended again in the meantime, Mojo Nation
started their test run and touts for users with an amount of features most of the competitors could not offer,
yet. E.g. the software even supports it's own micropayment feature, as no other does by now.»
«Those seven cypherpunks believe that they have created the next "killer application" for the
internet whith their sophisticated system. "We are a mixture of Napster and eBay", blew Jim McCoy,
CEO of Autnomous Zone Industries, his big role models to Wired News.»

RegNet-Registration
RegNet informed me, that they'd be releasing a new site
and that the transfer should be smoothly - however
due to an obvious IP address change, http://www.regnet.net
currently points to some completely different site

being down for a while).
I would expect, that the DNS server entries get updated
soon and would be be glad, if people that have not been
able to register since 26th/27th of July would try

Interview with Moss and Ewen
Daniel Robbins took an interview with Fleecy Moss and Bill McEwen (Amiga) that has been published at IBM in the section
"developerWorks:Linux overview:Library - papers".
The interview starts with the Amiga Classic and brings out very positively what it really is.
Next, the technology of the new system is beeing explained. Most of this should be known already.
Bill McEwens statement the SDK was sold out after 15 minutes at Neuss, is, as already said by Sebastian Brylka
at Fun Time World, wrong. It was available there for a lowered price on the second day, too.
Daniel Robbins is president/CEO of Gentoo Technologies.

News from AmiWest
Teemu I. Yliselä has listened to the UGN live audio stream
of Bill McEwen and basing on his notes (he did not record the stream himself) he summarized the following on
ANN.
The target term for the release of the AmigaOne presently is December 2000. AmigaOne will base on
Amiga's own motherboard design including not off the shelve components.
Amiga founded their own hardware department leaded by Dean Brown. This department is ought to design
custom hardware for various devices, which then will be offered to third party manufacturers for
production.
The SDK is selling better than expected. Amiga is in contact with a large number of big
consumer electronics and software companies including every important game smithy.
Many of them already purchased the SDK. After Bill McEwen's recent two TV gigs the companies'
interest increased.
A SDK version for Windows will be available from next month.
From next week Read Hat will distribute the SDK. Sun started to utilize Amiga's software
to present Java, too.
It is beeing planed to release beta versions of the OE.
Amiga plans to go public
Paul Nolan will take care of jobs under contract for Amiga.
Licences: No software developer will be forced to pay sums to Amiga.
Instead of this there will be the possibility to take part in an unsolicited certification project.
This project will offer the opportunity to put the Amiga lable on your own product, and the chance
of your product beeing marketed directly by Amiga. This will cost 1,50$ US per sold unit.
Amiga will offer low cost promotion and merchandising products to the users.
At the show Amiga presented a touchscreen basing on the ARM and running with the new OE. The design came form
Mick Tinker.
Back compatibility to the Classic Amiga will be carryed into effect by the OE using something which will not be
an emulation.

Village Tronic Petition
Untill the end of September votes for the Village Tronic (VT) Petition can be made. This petition
intends to persuade VT to place service documents at the disposal of authorized repairing companies
to ensure technical support for or repair of VT products. VT still did not state concretely on the subject
how to deal with the repair of their products in the future. At this time there is no repair support.
Unfortunatly Paul Qureshi only recieved about 200 votes, by now. So, who did not vote till today either can make
this up at the titlelink or can send an email
directly to the promoter of the petition.

T.o.T. Update Feature Disabled
Eternity at their news section:
«Unfortunatly it has happened, certain users procured themself unauthorized access to our ftp server.
For this reason we were forced to disable the update feature of the Tales of Tamar Demo. We point out that
more such trials endanger the release of an Amiga version of Tales of Tamar definitively. We are not keen
on working for nothing for four years and we have attached a lot of money to the development. Only our alpha
testers are authorized to access our ftp server. Furthermore we point out that definitively there will be no
Aminet version of Tales of Tamar free to duplikate. Thus there is no reason for such trials.»

MP3 Exchange Market Napster may Stay Online for the time being
«But the abatement of the preliminary injunction does not mean winning the proceeding raised by the
recording industry, at last - the current decision only keeps up the status quo untill the court has dicided
on the reproach that Napster would violate the copyrights of the musicians, and the music companies knowingly
and purposely. Untill early August Napster has time to comment the charge. The music industry can then answer
on Napster's comments untill early September. The judgment is then expectet during September at the earliest.

Heise: PowerPC in Reconfigurable Hardware
«Xilinx, the market leader for reconfigurable ICs by cooperation with IBM[1] obtains access to IBM's
PowerPC processor design. The PowerPC processor cores shall become connected to reconfigurable FPGA circuits.
Thus custom circutis can be integrated directly in the chip - without developing application specific ICs.
In general FPGA enables faster development along with fewer costs than with conventional chips. Additionally
FPGA basing produkts are more flexible, cause of the real circuit of the ICs can be changed easyly. Xilinx[2]
is planning a possibility for updates already integrated into the chips.
Beside the processor core and the aligned CoreConnect-Bus Xilinx gains acces to the current method of
copper production, by which they hope to enhance the performance of their chips. IBM with this cooperation
targets more promulgation of their PowerPC processor.»
