V³, AmTelnet, Microdot-1-Source
Oliver Wagner has released on October 14th, 2000 in .plans on the V³ portal site
information regarding the current state of development of the web browser.
The V³ development proceeds well. Frames are supported again, and
the tuning of the deeper integrated layer- and cliprects-routines gave a
relevant speed boost for output and scrolling.
Soon there'll be a new release version after David Gerber has finished the
configurable popup menus.
Of AmTelnet there's a test version which is supposed to fix the problems with
Z-modem-transfers in conjunction with Miami - or maybe not.
Besides that Oliver Wagner has released the source code for MicroDot-1 (not 2).

Amiga Database for SuSE Linux PPC

Using the title link you find some helpful texts and also some configuration
files in the newly installed Amiga data base for SuSE Linux PPC (both versions).
Among other things it is now possible to use SAX and YAST2 under SuSE Linux PPC
on the Amiga,too. The data needed for that are ready for download on my homepage.
I also want to announce that in the next few days there'll be a kernel 2.2.10 for
all Linux_m68k users ready for download which also works with the Linux_m68k CD I
created.

AmigAIM 0.9396 beta
On October 15th, 2000 Richard H. Poser has released the beta version 0.9396
of AmigAIM. This program makes it possible to use the AOL-Instant-Messenger-system
"AIM". Compared to the previous version the following has changed:
- I think I isolated the problems with the Password being saved improperly,
Capitalization and Spacing in ScreenName used for signon should no longer
matter - I found that an Earlier built in data conversion was attempting
a conversion anyway if spaces were used in the ScreenName in the Signon. I
call the problem, the "amazingly growing password"
- I also now restrict the length of the ScreenName and PassWord entry blocks
to a maximum of 16 characters (Longest AIM will allow anyway. Not sure why
I hadn't done this already)

AROS: Development Status
On oktober 11th, 2000 AROS has released a status report about the current status of
this Open Source project. The changes concern mainly the AROS version for
x86 computers.
Cleaning-up of the AROS source tree by Bernardo Innocenti, simple hardfile
support of FFS formatted floppy disks (ADF) by Georg Steger, and better mouse
support for AROS native/x86 by Tobias Seiler (mouse buttons work now). Georg
threw in some additional code to change the position of the mouse pointer on
the screen, and now you can move the window around. Since VGA.HIDD doesn't
support the XOR drawing mode, yet there is still some graphics garbage when you move
the window, but that should be fixed, soon.

StarOffice-Sourcecode Released
Sun has released the source code of StarOffice as Open Source on October 13th,
2000. This is the pre-release of StarOffice 6.0. The further development of
the package has been handed over to the OpenOffice-Project.
The source code is 400 MByte in size, and is available for download at the OpenOffice
website for download. It contains 35,000 files which count all together some
9 million lines of C++ code. A Pentium III computer with 256 MB RAM and Linux
would need some 20 hours to compile the package. The space required on the
harddrive will grow up to 2 GByte while doing this. Currently supported are
Windows, Linux, and Solaris. A version for Mac OsX, which is said to be still in an
earlier stade, should follow.
Sun themself will still participate in developing the Office package in the future
through their development department in Hamburg, and release official StarOffice
versions basing on OpenOffice. Those will also contain components which
Sun has acquired from thrid party companies and thus are not part of the
OpenOffice package. These components include the spell checker, the thesaurus
and the database Adabas D.

News about SView-Ports
SuperView is a well known graphics converting and viewing tool well knwon of the Amiga.
The author Andreas Kleinert is working on porting SView to other systems,
and publishes a status report:
The GUI preview of the planned WinSView tool kit still is
at alpha state while subject of intensive development. Hence it still is not available, but
by this you will get some initial impression on what it is about.
Development takes place on two levels:
- 1. The underlying C++ class library for image handling (loading, saving)
- 2. The program surface (GUI) in form of a MFC 4.1-based design
Both originally were developed using Watcom C/C++ - for the class library part
and for testing it we use the Watcom C/C++ V11 ability to develop 32 bit
software for the Win9x/NT character mode (DOS box), and for the GUI
part BlueSky's Visual Programmer is utilized.
But the design of the C++ classes is completely platform independent
(e.g. regarding endianess) and suitable to be ported for a wide range
of operating systems, e.g. certain Linux derives, BeOS or QNX. Additionally,
no compiler specific C++ specialities are used ("baseline C++") and utilization
from a clean C program is no problem.
More infos can be found at the title link.

Elbox: SHARK ATTACK
Detailed information from Elbox
about their new PowerPC processor boards for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000. Announced
are PPC G3/G4 boards named SHARK with various processors which can be fitted
into the MEDIATOR PCI A1200 and MEDIATOR PCI A3/4000 bus boards:
Date Thu, 12 Oct 2000 23:59:45 +0200
From ELBOX press@elbox.com
Subject SHARK ATTACK
ELBOX COMPUTER
Krakow, 12 October 2000
ELBOX COMPUTER is proud to announce the breath-taking new product: the
most powerful PowerPC accelerator for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000.
The new accelerator - SharkPPC G3/G4 board - is a pure PowerPC-based
processor card to be fitted in MEDIATOR PCI A1200 and MEDIATOR PCI
A3/4000 busboards.
SharkPPC G3/G4 cards give Amiga Classic computers the top performance of
the latest PowerPC technology and the power of the long-awaited next
generation computer.
New PowerPC750 processors installed in SharkPPC G3/G4 cards offer the
following performance: 17.4SPECint95@400MHz, 11.7SPECfp95@400MHz,
928DMIPS@400MHz, 22.4SPECint95@550MHz, 13.3SPECfp95@550MHz,
1276DMIPS@550MHz.
The SharkPPC G3/G4 design combines speed of PowerPC G3/G4 processors
with extremely fast on-board memory interface controlling two SDRAM
modules, up to 512MB each. The peak memory transfer rate reaches
582MB/s. The accelerator card takes control over the PCI busboard with a
66MHz PCI 2.1 compliant interface fitted with a two-channel DMA
controller.
Communication between the existing Amiga turbo accelerator and the
SharkPPC G3/G4 card is executed with the shared SDRAM memory and the
interrupt controller in the MEDIATOR PCI hardware. The new accelerator
offers excellent bandwidth to any PCI card: 264 MB/s (132 MB/s in the
system with 33 MHz PCI cards). This powerful performance in PCI graphic
cards enables development of new superb games/graphic applications in
the native PPC code.
All the currently available Amiga software may be executed in the 68k
processor with full use of all the PCI cards installed in the computer.
It is possible because both accelerator cards installed in the computer
access all the PCI cards independently.
On top of that, in new applications to be developed both accelerators
may enhance performance of each other just the same way as it is done in
advanced multi-processor systems. This is due to the fact that
processors in both accelerators (68k/PPC and SharkPPC) work fully
simultaneously, which is for the first time available for Amiga users.
The first SharkPPC G3/G4 cards for developers will be available by end
of November, with production planned to commence in January 2001.
When new speed versions of PowerPC processors are available, the
SharkPPC line will be expanded with more models.
The suggested retail price (VAT excl.) for the SharkPPC G3/G4
accelerators are:
SharkPPC G3/G4 750@400................ EUR 390.00
(PowerPC750@400MHz and 256KB@400MHz L2 Cache)
SharkPPC G3/G4 750@550................ EUR 520.00
(PowerPC750@550MHz and 256KB@550MHz L2 Cache)
Pricing of versions with other processors will be announced separately.
NEW
Please look for our further releases:
1. Development progress of PCI Sound and TV card drivers for MEDIATOR
PCI 1200.
2. MEDIATOR development line (A4000 and A3000).

Heavy Domain Quarrel between VMC and Individual Computers!
Sure one ore the other usere already realized that the website of Harald Frank
VMC is taken by foreign content. The reader is
welcomed to a completely new pay system in the internet. As contact address
jens@jschoenfeld.de is given.
Calling Harald Frank provided clearness. A heavy domain quarrel between Individual Computers
and VMC is the cause. Until this is cleared up VMC will be accessible at
http://www.usbshop.de.
At the title link you will find the following statement by VMC:
«10-11-2000Unbelievable, www.vmc.de was stolen!
As we had to realize this afternoon the owner of our domain was, pretending wrong facts, renamed to
Mr. Schönfeld by the internet provider Schlund.
The internet pages viewed at the domain which was up to now our domain, have nothing to do with our
company, and also every e-mail to the addresses of VMC are sent to Mr. Schönfeld directly, by-passing
the mail secret.
Because of this we ask all of the customers to send their e-mails to our
usbshop.de domain which means to you, just to change the name vmc.de
into usbshop.de in the e-mail addresses for the next days.
According to information via telephone by Individual Computers Jens Schonefeld will use this campaign to force
a better position of him to the company VMC Harald Frank regarding wholesale prices for VMC driver software.»

MPF: Information Appliances
At the Microprocessor Forum 2000 in San Jose, USA, an all day opening lecture on the subject
information appliances took place given by Steve Leibson, chief analyser of MicroDesign Resources and
chief editor of the microprocessor report.
After main-frames, mini-computer, micro-computers, and PCs the fifth computer generation comes into
public view by the IAs. Appliances of this generation distinguish on application oriented design. Meaning
design and functionality of these appliances is styled for one application, e.g. in the case of web-pads
on the internet or in case of game consoles on easy gaming using your TV-set. This causes self describing
operation and hence easy use of this appliances.
The
article (German) on
tecchannel.de
summarizes the lecture in view of types of appliances, Connectivity (Bluetooth, IrDA, etc.), processors, as well
as displays, and gives a result at the end of the article. This result complains about that manufacturers tend to
implement too much features in their initial IAs. By this operation again becomes complicated, and prices increase
which automates failure, according to Steve Leibson.

A Lot of Eternity News
Some things are changing at Eternity, but in main everything will stay the same:
Eternity is and will keep being Amiga vendor, Amiga publisher, and distributor of
Amiga hardware and software.
This news is most important:
The URL has changed!
http://www.eternity-computer.de from now on is the new online home of Eternity. Please
change your bookmarks! Many thanks to Marc Albrecht for hosting the Eternity pages free
of charge for several years.
To make getting used to the new URL more easy for users we have raised another of our
popular special projects:
For orderings within the next two weeks the customer will get 1 DM discount on every of
his/her order already placed in 2000. With this we want to thank our many faithful customers
and want to give them a very special bonus.
EAsys! Servicepack 3
For the system enhancer EAsys! distributed by Eternity service-pack 3 was released.
This fixes many little bugs, and automatic creation of icons is implemented. Who wants to
learn about the other new features should get it soon.
MASplayer
The MASplayer which we distribute since early this month already sells well. Happily our
customers are not dumb, so we received some suggestions on additional possible use of the
MASplayer:
- MPEG-Movie-Player could surrender playing of sound completely to the MAS and thereby
would have to deal almost only with playing the movie.
- Internet-Phone would be possible with acceptable speed and quality also on Amigas.
- Internet-Radio via MASplayer is already under construction.
Interested software authors can contact us via e-mail to eternity@pride.de.
We heavily support developers.
Free co-workers wanted:
Eternity Hard- & Software is looking for a free co-worker who would independent deal with
project coordination around Eternity's activities. Good knowledge of English (speaking and writing) are
advantageous. Interested people would contact eternity@pride.de, please.

A.C.SYS - News
The homepage of ACSYS (a Turrican-clone) has moved. From now on you can access this site under
http://www.paragram.de/acsys.html (title link). Because developers wonder if they should finish
programming this game there is a opinion-poll
If more than 500 people speak in favour of this project the programming will be finished.
The editorial stuff of the Amiga Future have made a closer
look at the game saying its worthy!

New DirectDos Demo Available
Marius Schwarz wrote:
It has been announced for a long time: DirectDos (the new Workbench feeling) is available in a improved
version with many new functions and many bug fixes. The new functions are for example remember, iconifying,
new rename functions, and much more. Remember starts the DirectDos-tasks automatically again after rebooting the computer,
which helps you to continue to work no matter if the reset was your intention or a crash
of the system.
But the best of all is lower price: Instead of paying 50 DM for the program it now costs only
30 DM from version 1.02.
Please download the demo from the Aminet or my website. This one will move to a new server in the next
time. Therefore the programm is possibly not available all the time. The link will be the same.

At my homepage I have uploaded version 40.8 of UniView. UniView is a full replacement for MultiView.
It is now possible to open several files simultaneously. Each file will be displayed in a seperate

windows open. But this function is still improvable.

Milan Computer

Statement on Milan II
Even other systems (in this case Atari user) have to face disappointments. Milan II was put on hold.
One now wants to make the operating system Atari-TOS (incl. MagiC) hardware independent by means of
Linux. Then programs will be coded for one time and will run everywhere, which sure appears to be
well known to Amiga users. Here some extract from the statement by Milan Computer, which is to read
as full length (German) at the title link:
«Perspectives today are good on the one hand, and disappointing on the other hand:
The Milan II was put on hold. Month of work eating thousands of Deutsch Marks disappeared as well as
the hope of many Atari users to have their own and fast Milan II soon. This is primary to assign to
technical difficulty. Moreover trying to find venture capital companies from Germany to increase fund
remarkable over month failed. In this country at this time primary internet buildings in the air are supported
and created, building fictitious million value from scratch to crash down as fast as it raised most of the time.
One of the realy seldom companies able to offer their own small operating system provided with much of software
unfortunately bears the big risc for the investors to provoke costs by matter manufacturing (main boards, etc.).
But this does not mean the end of the project, at all. Milan-Computersystems will continue to offer the
Milan I with 040 processor to all of the people wanting a Milan today. And also the upgrade board to the
060 processor is still available and stable in the meantime. In fact there is nothing in the way to a Milan
with 060 processor at this time.
Now the step which will be taken is to look towards Milan III.
Therefore at this time there are two scenarios to choose from all of them banking on that the Milan-TOS
(and with it the addon MagiC-Milan) to be able to be nearly hardware independent soon.
- A. One elects a Linux kernel adaptation to e.g. AMD hardware (Athlon, Duron) and standard board
peripheral equipment. Along with this a board will be chosen which just has to be imported
in this country. If requirement like a big flash eprom are fulfilled this can be a TOS basing
computer as before starting directly from chip. Performance with this solution would increase
proportional to the used processor and with a 400MHz would have a much higher performance than
a 060 processor.
- B. One uses a (in case of need own) PPC G3/G4 board which is more close to the 68060 processor, so that
from 350 MHz more than double performance would be gained.
To make TOS running on these processors an 68k interpreter will be integrated, in difference from a Windows or
MacOS emulation running independent native making high performance possible.»

Hellcoders Homepage Announces Game Project
On the Hellcoders' homepage a new game was announced.
The plot of the space game is described as the follows:
You have captured a small space vehicle which approaches other ships camouflaged. You can gain
points if you beam yourself into a ship, kill the crew and sell the whole equipment at the black
market.
The game would have nice inter-sequences. According to the news the graphics and movies are in progress.
One may be curious about the announced initial screen shots.

AMI Sector One Extended
Welcome to another update of AMI Sector One. Today there is something of interest for
both emulator fans and Amiga users. But first of all let us begin with the new features written by Bernd:
Microdeal - A resume: This article is about
the hardware and software company Microdeal which disappeared in 199?.
Amiga Games vs. Amiga Joker: Here I compare two
issues of these popular Amiga games related magazines.
The update continues with the new games Tanglewood
(thanks to the author Ian Murray-Watson who allowed us to upload it),
Tie-Break (thanks to the author Andreas Seebeck),
Wrath of Gwendor and the request
Wizzy's Quest (English version). Besides the
ADF of Wikinger 2 has been fixed (thanks to Hubert
Maier jr. for repairing it).
Users of real Amiga computers will hopefully appreciate the following HD versions which have been added
today: F/A 18 Interceptor HD,
Lethal Xcess HD,
Sword of Sodan HD. Most of these HD versions require
an installed version of WHDLoad.
There are also some new scans of Amiga games: Advanced
Destroyer Simulation, Cosmo Ranger, Outrun, Peter Beardsley's Internat. Football, Pyramax, Quartz, Raider,
Renaissance, Revelation, S.E.U.C.K., Space Gun, Speed Ball, Tie-Break, Titan, Treasure Trap, Triango,
Turrican, UN Squadron, Way of the little Dragon, XCopy. Thanks to the contributors Peter and Raffaele.
I have also added some new tunes of games: View the new additions by clicking
here.
Finally I have also added information to another 280 Amiga games. You can access the information by clicking
here.
I hope you enjoyed today's small update. AMI Sector One will soon be back with some great news.

VMC-ISDN V3 Beta89 now including Mac-FreePPP Support
Harald Frank wrote:
After many days of hard work and several hundred dial-in tests, we are able to offer
an improved version of VMC-ISDN, which from the current version works with all Mac FreePPP versions
without problems.
VMC-ISDN is now the only ISDN card software for AmigaOS allowing the Apple Macintosh emulators
Shapeshifter of Fusion to build internet connections directly via ISDN and Sync-PPP. None of
the currently available Amiga ISDN card drivers offers such an option, but often have such
fatal errors in the protocols that make user-friendly operation impossible.
First tests showed that internet banking, requiring Java, can now be utilized with your Amiga
using an ISDN card and a Mac emulator like ShapeShifter or Fusion, installing NetscapeNavigator
or the InternetExplorer on your virtual Mac. Yes, the Amiga can do Java... ;)

Amiga, Inc.: Executive Update
September 28, 2000
Executive Update
Greetings to one and all.
I know it has been a long time since I last had the chance to write to all
to all of you.
It has been very, very busy, and we have seen some great successes, and
some disappointments.
I have not been asleep, and to the contrary I have not been getting much
sleep of late. There is so much activity, and so little time that I have
been spending a great deal of time in other areas and not keeping everyone
up to date.
To my Friends in Italy, I apologize that I was not able to attend the
show. It was a real disappointment for me personally, as I wanted to
greet each and every one of you. The reason was not because we are broke,
or out of money as the rumors would state.
Simply, there were two companies in California that I have been
working with, and they requested a meeting that occurred over the same
period of time. With working with these OEM's we will be able to add
several million more Amigans, and the discussions went well and are
progressing quickly, these meetings were in addition to what is mentioned
in point 3 below.
Now with all the above fun stuff……
Here we go:
- The SDK for Amiga DE.
This has been very exciting, and we are really pleased with the number of
applications and the number developers using the product to create some
great products.
The next version of the Software Development Kit will be out in the next couple of
weeks. In
addition to the Linux version there is now a version available for
Windows. That's correct you are now able to develop for the new Amiga on
either Linux, or Windows.
It will feature a new raft of multimedia (Mesa, the SSEYO
Koan Audio
Engine, streaming) as well better development tools, a richer AVE and
enhanced performance.
- Amiga OS 3.5 and beyond
We are continuing taking a very hard look at the current Amiga and how we
can best move the platform forward. There are discussions on going for
some new opportunities and we will be able to share some announcements in
the very near future.
- Amiga DE business opportunities.
Wow, this is an area that is absolutely exploding. For developers this is
going to be great news. Not only will the applications you are working on
be used by your Amiga family members, but with the deals that are either
executed or in motion there will be millions more consumers joining the
Amiga family.
Now many of you began to speculate on the Meternet
announcement. Meternet
is offering a great product, and they are going to be making it available
to the Amiga community, but it is not the AmigaOne.
- The AmigaOne.
We have listened to a great many of you with comments, suggestions,
business ideas and technical ideas. Dean Brown has
been a
huge help,
especially that he is now here in Snoqualmie with the other members of the
team.
Because of this input we have begun negotiations for a brand new
design. Most of the details have been worked out, and I hope to have the
finished announcement ready by the middle of October. It is my firm
belief that you will all be very pleased and excited.
- Dealers/Distributors, and our friends in the Press:
The well of information for all of you has been too dry, and
inconsistent. To better provide information to each and every one of you.
Amiga has created two new mailing lists. Please go to:
http://www.amigadev.net/index.php?sid=&subpage=home&function=showmaillists
or to www.amigadev.com and select mailing lists on the right hand side of
the screen. Select either press or dealer, and fill out your
information. We will begin weekly feeds to these lists to better support
our press and dealers.
I know that many of you will read that this letter says nothing, and that
there is nothing happening, other than a new motorcycle for me.
Well you are very wrong. We are meeting directly with the heads of some
of the largest computer and consumer electronics companies in the world,
and not only do they see the value in what we are offering but they see
where the Amiga community, you, is the real value.
Now we still have a ways to go, but we are moving very fast, and I know
that you will all be very proud of Amiga as we continue to make things
happen.
The biggest challenge for Amiga right now is to stay focused on our core
strengths, and not make the mistakes of those who have walked before us.
The Amiga opportunity is huge, and sometimes overwhelming. There are so
many conflicting reports, and I have not done a very good job of being
able to communicate to all of you as well as I would like to.
We are getting much closer every day, and everyone of you are a major part
of the Amiga Family's success.
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team

"Exodus - The Last War" and Appeal regarding a New Game
At the moment there were four different versions of "Exodus - The Last War" released : a polish, a german,
an english, and a french one.
Soon the Czech version will be available for download.
APPEAL
There are plans for developing another game; code name "Husaria". In Polish this means a kind of heavy cavalry, soldiers
specialized for fast attacks, which were noted for their victories particulary during the 17th century. For example King
Jan III Sobieski who has supported Austria against Turkey in the battle near Vienna.
For this new project the programmers are looking for the following things:
- Maps of Europe from 16th and 17th century.
- Fotos of castles, palaces and buildings used for economic purposes of the above mentioned centuries.
- Fotos or pictures of armours and weapons of this time.
If possible, we need pictures of all 4 walls of the buildings,
because we need this for making 3d-models out of them. It would
be nice if you could tell us the name of the e.g. castle, and maybe send us a little map showing the location.
If you would like to help us, you can send your material via email to
darexodus@poczta.onet.pl.

PowerPC-Linux was released. This version contains bug fixes and some minor changes. The important
new feature is a function for 2-dimensional and spectral sample analysis.
The preview-version can be downloaded here.
For further informations have a look at AudioCutter.de.
AudioCutter needs Java. We recommend for PPC-Linux the Java Virtual Machine by
blackdown.org.
Unfortunately it is not very fast, but it runs very stable.
AudioCutter Cinema for PPC-Linux on Amiga
The PPC-Linux version were even tested on an Amiga and runs very well on it.
The only thing is that you need is a kernel with audio support (Amiga-DMA sound).
