Pagan Games News
Pagan Games is working on a Members Area. This closed area is still under development, but
will include many interesting things. There will be several forums, e.g. a discussion forum,
a developer forum, and an opportunity to talk to Pagan developers directly. Demo download
offers, monthly newsletter and vote areas are also planned.
Pagan Games is happy to introduce two new employees. Axiom will work on the graphics of
Dafel: Bloodline, and Psycho (szene coder of Loonies)
will join the Magick development team to create the 3D engine.

AROS: Menues are now working
The code for the menues has been inserted. Different than on the original
Amiga, tasks are handled as a task that contains all input-events as long
as the right mouse button is pressed. For this reason the menues will not
block other tasks, and are easily improved upon. If blocking menues are
still a problem then they ccan be controlled by by each program
individually by checking for RMB down/up.
In other words the AROS-Menues work better than the original Amiga OS
menues.

Hotlist
You will surely have noticed that the link to our old hotlist (in the link bar on top)
and the Quick Links from the right-hand menu have vanished. It would have been redundant,
additional work to maintain them in addition to the comprehensive
Amiga Link Directory.
If your website is not yet listed in the ALD, we would be happy if you'd take the two minutes
it takes to register. Changes to the submitted data can be commited with the password given
on first submission. So you can add a banner (100x100) later, if you haven't one handy right
now.

Executive Update (Update)
The Executive Update of February 3rd has been reworked at several points. Basically, the wording has been
redone, and the following paragraph has been added:
"We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include
introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin
the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work."
Here's a copy of the most recent version:
"February 4, 2000
Greetings to one and all:
A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun.
In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners
The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet".
On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.
In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation.
After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it.
Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.
Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share.
Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.
We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.
This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.
Plain and simple.
If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true.
We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others.
We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on.
There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.
I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow.
Keeping the faith,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team."

Bill McEwen - "Live Interactive Video Conference" on March 1st
The Gateway Amiga Club hosts a video conference with Bill McEwen on Wednesday, March 1st:
Press Rlease
Amigan-St. Louis
Bill McEwen - "Live Interactive Video Conference" on March 1
February 4, 2000
Fellow Amigans,
We are happy to assist the Gateway Amiga Club, Inc. in bringing
you Mr. Bill McEwen in...
"Live" from the Gateway Amgia Club"
GAC's meeting will be Wednesday March 1, at the Ladue Horton Watkins
High School Videio Lab. It is located at 1201 South Warson Rd, in
Ladue, MO. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM, with the conference
starting at 8 PM CST.
Mr McEwen will discuss the "OS for the 21st Century" and
demonstrate some "new stuff". This is a meeting you won't want
to miss.
The interactive nature of this conference, will allow the speaker to
view his audience as they view him. Viewers can even ask questions
when their site is selected for viewing.
Amiga Clubs interested in viewing this live interactive video
conference" should go to GAC's web page at:
http://www.icon-stl.net/~amiga
and click on the "Amiga News" link. There you will find the
details of how to apply for the conferences link.
We suggest that clubs attempt to find video conferencing
equipment at their local high schools, colleges, or businesses
to keep their costs down. It is possible to rent Kinko equipment,
but costs can be higher than most clubs can afford.
Due to the video sites needing possible on-site approval, we will
need to have your request no later than February 14. Please
remember to fill out the form on the GAC website.
See you on the Big Screen,
Bob Scharp

RC - RUNCOACH, the runner trainer for Amiga
Finally, there is an Amiga training program for runners available. It calculates detailed
training suggestions to prepare for contests. After entering personal data, like weight,
pulse etc., a training plan with differing demand until contest day is calculated.
The program is a C port of the well-known Runcoach
by Paul Shields. He was so kind to supply me with the Prolog source code. After some effort,
I was able to get Eric Engdahl to make the Amiga port. I would like comments and expansion
requests, so RC will get many users. The program can be found on Aminet.

VillageTronic answers :-)
On February 3rd, the German main page of amiga-news.de
reported that, with a change in layout on the VT website, visitors get the impression that the
Amiga area is now only secondary for VT. Yesterday, Village Tronic spoke out about the ParaGlide
project. Since no excellent hard- and software engineer could be found in 1999, and ParaGlide was
not on top of the priority list, VT concentrated on other projects. ParaGlide has not been
cancelled, however, since the developers from the Amiga section would not have it.
Village Tronic is now looking for a ParaGlide fan who is an experienced PCB layouter, using
the Protel Layout System. Candidates please contact amigasupport@village.de.

Innovative, a software-company based in
Herzogenaurach/Germany developed the required technology for this exciting enterprise.
Entries are sorted by categories and letters or can be found easily via the available
search-function. In order to guarantee an always up-to-date database, entries can be
changed by the "owners" of the entry at any time via a previously defined password.
For every entry, if provided by the "owner", further information is available. This
can include, but is not limited to the postal adress as well as the phone-number,
email-adress and homepage.
The ALD will also partially be available via the popular Aminet-CDs (means: only entries
of "owners" who want their entries to be part of a "directory" on the Aminet-CD).
For the first time there will be a bridge between the AMIGA-online and -offline-world -
and it will be called ALD. This way communication within the AMIGA-community will
improve and companies can also reach users, that don`t have an internet-connection yet.
Help us building the greatest online-directory for AMIGA-websites worldwide and
add your website today.
The ALD can be found at: www.amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/anwd-db.pl

Amiga-PacketRadio - user search
Since there is no list of active Amiga Packetradio users, I created a list on the Alternative
Computerclub homepage, where all PacketRadio users can have themselves listed. I am curious
how many are still left...

Storm MP3 Digital Audio Decoder
Storm MP3/e is a device plugged into the parallel port, capable of MP3 playback even on an
accelerated A500, 286 or Archimedes (?). The device is powered by a 9V battery, powering up
and down together with the host computer. Expansion options include an IR port, memory expansion
(probably for internal MP3 use only) and radio reciever.

AppleInsider: Outlook for Faster G4 Systems Appear Gloomy
Obviously, difficulties with the G4 CPU layout resulted in a very poor yield in G4 CPUs
with more than 450 MHz (one or two per wafer). The situation will probably not change until
late fall, when new CPU versions (of the G4, not the successor G5!) will be released. Until
then, the G3 is the only PowerPC exceeding 500 MHz clock speed.

Executive Update by Bill McEwen
Amiga's Bill McEwen has posted an Executive Update:
"Greetings to one and all:
A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun.
In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners
The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet".
On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.
In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation.
After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it.
Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.
Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share.
Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.
We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.
This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.
Plain and simple.
If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true.
We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others.
We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on.
There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.
I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow.
Keeping the faith,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team."

BurnIT version 2.65 released
BurnIt supports DAO 2448 Mode, well kown as CD+G copy mode, enabling 100% copies of any CD you like.
But pay attention that only a very limited number of CD-Recorders support this mode e.g. Mitsumi 4802
or Plextor 820 (you need a special CD-Rom drive for reading 2448byte datas, see BurnIT guide for
further details)!
Also new to this version:
- New or reworked drivers for Mitsumi4802, Yamaha6416, Yamaha8416, Plextor8220, Ricoh7040 and
many more.
- CD-cover printout with CD-Text support (Pagestream3 or greater required).
- AmigaOS 3.5 support upto 100 characters per file name possible.
- New and advanced read/write settings for individual handling e.g. Gap-Creation, special Error-Recover
routines and many more.
- CD-Text support read and write (your CD-recorder must support this feature).
- Full access to large internet AudioCD database for archiving and managing your Audio CD`s.

it is already fully functional.

AmiTech Dayton Amiga Users Group Project for the A2K Show
An offer to put your advertising in the AmiTech newsletter, which will be handed out for free
to every visitor of the A2K Show, North America's largest Amiga show:
Amitech Dayton Amiga Users Group Announces Advertising Opportunity
With the demise of so many outlets for Amiga vendors and distributors to advertise in
these days it has become very difficult for those still supporting the Amiga to get the word
out that they are still around. We at AmiTech would like to invite you to advertise in our
March Special Show Edition Newsletter which will be distributed free to all attendees at the
A2K Amiga Show in St.Louis. This show has attendance in excess of 1100 people and is the
largest Amiga show in North America. This is a great chance to let people know about your
business, services and show specials.
Take a look at our advertising rates. As you can see they are more than reasonable:
All rates based on 8.5 x 11 page size: Full Page - $16.00
Half Page - $10.00
Black and white text/art only Quarter Page - $7.00
Business Card - $4.00
All prices based on US dollars
For more details please contact:
Eric Schwartz - erics@coax.com (Newsletter editor)
or
Len Carsner - nard@erinet.com (Secretary/Treasurer)
All advertising must be to us no later than MARCH 5 to give us time to layout the
pages. All ads must be paid in advance to be included. Make checks/moneyorders payable to:
Len Carsner/AmiTech AmiTech User Group
905 Boone Street OR P.O. Box 292684
Piqua, Ohio 45356-1815 Kettering, Ohio 45429-0684
Now is the time to act! The Amiga appears ready to make the comeback we've all hoped for.
Make sure the people out there know who you are! If you can't make the show this a great
way to spread your name around. If you are going to St. Louis, putting an ad in the
newsletter is a terrific way to insure that those who attend know you are there and to call
attention to your show specials.
Over 1100 people were at last years show. A lot of money was spent on Amiga items
of all kinds. Wouldn't you like to share in the fun and camaraderie that is an Amiga show,
and get the attention your business deserves? Contact us today!
Thank You
Len Carsner

The Ticker v1.0
With "The Ticker", Amiga Central is offering a new
service. Instead of visiting a web-site explicitly, the special Ticker program automatically
displays the current headlines. To read the messages, all you have to do is clicking on the
headlines.
The free program runs on Amigas with AmigaOS v3.x, 1 MB RAM, Internet connection and the Open
URL Library 2.x. It has been developed by Chris Page (The
World Foundry), the idea is from Chris Korhonen. Ports are planned for e.g. Linux, Windows
and BeOS.

AROS and OAF
AROS will become the development section of OAF. OAF is the
Open Amiga Foundation which COSA will turn into.
OAF will care about the public
relations and contact to Amiga. They will collect all informations and summarize them for
AROS, so AROS can concentrate on the development. They will also care about money and
legal matters, which means a lot less work for AROS.

Delays with MorphOS
The developer package for MorphOS will not be released
this month.
Main reason for this is that Frank Mariaks CyberstormPPC failed in late
1999, and it took Phase5 two send-in/send-back cycles to realize that it is beyond repair.
Read the full article at the title link.

BattleIsle DataDisk 3
Marco Frischkorn writes:
I am missing some maps for a new DataDisk. Mainly one-player maps. If somebody has some of those
on his hard drive, just send them. As basic map set I am using the graphics from BattleIsle 1.
If someone has maps for the DataDisk 1 (desert / winter), I would be happy about them, too,
even while there are only one third of the needed maps are present right now.
Please send maps to marco_frischkorn@amigadev.de.
When possible write some lines in addition to the map, like sollutions, backgrounds, about the
person, and that you aggree in distribution on an extra DataDisk. The maps are throughoutly tested
by myself and two friends. As soon as the DataDisk 3 is ready, everyone will recieve it automatically.

Loss of E-Mail Addresses
A small request to all who wrote me concerning BATTLE or A4EP in the last eight weeks:
Due to "human failure", the e-mail catalog has been lost completely. Please send another
short e-mail to marco_frischkorn@amigadev.de.
If possible, please describe in brief what it was about.

DiskCopy v44.5 - fix
Andi from Future Visions writes:
On January 30th, 2000, the Amiga community was informed about the problems with the diskcopy v44.5
by amiga-news.de. At the title link, a link to our "Amiga Support Area" can be found, offering the
utility "TrackCopy64" for download. This program enables access to tracks beyond the 4GB barrier.
The support site alos lists an explanation of the diskcopy v44.5 problems. I ask for feedback by
voluntary beta testers about problems occuring with TrackCopy64. Suggestions, questions and beta
test reports please to support-computer@future-visions.de.

LightForce
Bad news on LightForce by StrangeWorlds:
On this weekend, the A4000 of
Andreas Hippauf suffered a complete failure of the development partition.
The development environments for LightForce, and the e-mail client YAM had
to be reinstalled completely. Thanks to frequent backups, the sources were
undamaged.
But the emails of (the) last month(s?) have been lost. If
somebody has ordered the latest demo version and did not yet recieve it,
please contact Andreas Hippauf
again. Reminder: Due to the very low response to the e-mail feedback it has
been decided to send out new demo versions only to interested users on
request. The latest demo, by the way, already shows the usage of textures
and extras, so it is well worth a look.
