New Music Site on The Web
By chance - a download from Aminet - I stumbled across a rather new page for Amiga musicians. At the title link some talented composers, which are partially from the scene, offer their sounds in Protracker and Octamed format. But they don't want to just show their own stuff, but invite all interested to write, track or compose themselves. The results can then be published in a series they call "Moods - Music For Your Instincts". Perhaps this is a way to make contact with other projects looking for musicians, and vice versa!

CyberGraphX Support for Mediator PCI Graphics accelerator
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development announced there co-operation. The goal is to develope a CyberGraphX based Graphicaccelerator-System for PCI-Graphicaccelerators, installed on the Mediator PCI 1200 Busboard.

Date: Mon, 24 Jul 2000 13:50:42 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
Organization: ELBOX COMPUTER
Subject: CyberGraphX support for Mediator PCI graphic cards


Elbox Computer                 www.elbox.com
Vision Factory Development     www.vgr.com
------------------------------------------

For Immediate Release

Krakow, PL - 24 July 2000

Elbox Computer, the developer of Amiga hardware and software,
who have designed and produced the MEDIATOR PCI 1200 busboard,
announced a partnership today with Vision Factory Development,
developer of CyberGraphX, the widely popular graphic system
for Amiga computers.
Elbox Computer and Vision Factory Development will co-operate
to port and optimize the CyberGraphX graphic system for
operation with PCI graphic cards installed in the MEDIATOR
PCI 1200 busboard.

CyberGraphX V3 will be available with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard.
CyberGraphX V4, the extended commercial version of this system
may be obtained from all the CyberGraphX distributors; it will
enable even more comprehensive use of the PCI graphic chipsets
capacity.

Support for new graphic chipsets will be developed for
both versions (V3 and V4) of the CyberGraphX system.

Current information on drivers available for MEDIATOR will be
reported at http://www.vgr.com, the official CyberGraphX website.

CyberGraphX

The CyberGraphX standard is being supported by all major Amiga
software vendors worldwide. CyberGraphX was designed to define
an independent graphics standard for Amiga graphic boards.
Continued work on Workbench emulation was also an important
issue. Over 7 years of experience in developing graphics board
software was employed in making Workbench control screens
with all the existing Amiga graphic cards.
CyberGraphX is based on hardware-dependent monitor driver and
hardware-independent libraries. This solution has many advantages,
one of these being bug fixes in the Workbench card control.
Speed optimization is another benefit available for ALL the
graphic boards supported by the CyberGraphX system.
CyberGraphX works with majority of the most popular applications
on the Amiga and resources of Public Domain and Demo software
available are broad.

MEDIATOR PCI 1200

The MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is a new-generation busboard for Amiga
1200 computers. The MEDIATOR busboard is fitted with four
PCI 2.1-compiliant slots for connecting PCI devices, thus
enabling expansion of Amiga 1200 with a variety of PCI-standard
hardware products.
MEDIATOR's hardware has been made compatible with ALL the
available Amiga 1200 turbo cards. MEDIATOR PCI opens an immense
wealth of PCI cards for Amiga 1200 owners: network, sound,
modem (ISDN), decoding (MPEG-2, MP3), TV, and, most of all,
graphic cards based around chipsets like S3 ViRGE, Savage4,
Voodoo3, Voodoo5, Riva TNT2, etc.
MEDIATOR PCI enables using the high-end cards based around the
latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors (available in the PCI card form)
in Amiga 1200 computers. When this feature is combined with the
PCI graphic cards, totally new superb possibilities are open
for Amiga owners.

Trogladite Awards 2k were Confered
Alltogether awards were confered in five categories. Unfortunately two webpages had to be disqualified because they were elected using manifold reloads.

How about fairness and sportsmenship ? This spoils the joy even of the award winners. I hope that Trogladite Software will use a script with a reloadstop or an other protection for preventing these fraud.

Czech Amiga News is back :-)
"Don't panic ! It was just a joke."
The recipients of this mail know that Wintopia2000 was a joke. We wanted to celebrate our two years of activities around Amiga News a different way :-). What kind of black humor you may say ? The design took as two days. If you overcome your shock you can read ahead...

We wrote our first newsreport on 07/21/1998. But Czech Amiga News started a few days later. But when exactly ?! It is your job to find it out. Mail us your proposal - day and hour of the launch - the nearest one (+/- 2 hours) will win HERETIC II. If there will be a winner he will be published on 08/01/2000. You can mail your suggestion or even greetings via eMail (subject: TIP) to exie@czex.cz

Dear ExiE. It is not nice of you to shock us that much. As explained in our mail we could not imagine that you leave the community after two years of fantastic work just with these three sentences. We even thought of a hack :). We were very happy when we got to know that it was just a joke. We wish you and your team furthermore much fun at work and we are happy that the cloverleafe is complete again ;-).

Directory Opus 4 Support Pages


DirOpus 4.14i (Beta) re
Jacek Rzeuski released DirOpus 4.14i (Beta). This is an extract from the History:
  • removed lots (all?) pre-OS3.0 conditional code
  • removed PowerPacker support completely (replaced by XFDMaster support)
  • XFDMaster.library is opened only when needed and if it has not already been opened by another program. This prevents loading all decrunchers from libs:xfd/ directory. That feature can be overriden by setting FORCEOPENXFD tooltype in program's icon or -x (case important!) argument if started from CLI.
  • fixed canceling "DOpus already running" requester. Now it uses ARexx and requires RexxMaster running to work. "Bring to front" option added.
  • ConfigOpus: removed bug in command list (the list was too long)
  • DOpus_Icon: fixed OS3.5 icon support. NewIcons still do not work :(

If there are any news the CD³² & environmental news-page will be updated. All other parts will be updated in a monthly term. From now on we publish informations about/from greenpeace too.

DOpus 4 ARexx-Scripts
New ARexx-Scripts for DOpus 4 freeware have been released.

CleanRamDisk deletes all files from RAM-Disk, except 'ClipBoards', 'ENV', 'T' and the 'Disk.info' file.

Under PatternOpus three ARexx-Scripts are assembled, that rename many files at once considering a pattern. For example, it is possible to give a pattern for a filename like "frame?.jpg" and a starting number, like "1".

MUI-Class NListtree.mcc V1.1 Released
Carsten Scholling writes:
This MUI-Class offers a simple way to display list entries in an ordered form, the socalled tree. Tree-structure is used, when files are to be displayed and managed optically separated from each other.

NListtree is interesting for developers as well as for users and easy to handle. If wanted by the programmer and usefull in the special case, this class allows the free redesigning of the displayed list by Drag'n'Drop even with multiple choice.

Now, for the first time it is possible to keep full structures when moving entries. This means, that not only the entry to be moved is inserted in the destination, but, if wanted, all the entries upto the root-list, too. This is also available when copying entries, which is implemented, too.

Features in short:
  • Simple Drag'n'Drop of entries within the the tree.
  • Supports multiple choice of entries.
  • Move and Copy implemented.
  • Move and Copy can recover source structure at destination.
  • Appearence can be easily changed via the localized MUI Prefs program.
  • Pictures can be changed in the chosen style.
  • Some new Pictures especially for the Windows-Style are included.

"Just two years ago we brought to you the first Amiga news. Many things happened and we feel it's time to move to the "real world". New Amiga is still nothing more than immagination but it is possible we come back sometime in the future. Thanks for your favour and bye bye..."

#Amiga on IRCNet
Here an invitation from IRCNet to chat about the Amiga.

Since (once again) the Amiga seems to be considered a platform which could do a Lazarus, we thought it would be good to remind all the Amiga users still out there that there is still a friendly user base at #amiga on IRCNet. There's always someone here to help Amiga users, discuss Amiga related topics, or anything else which is interesting at the time :) #amiga is usually the quickest place to find out whenever there's new software released, or the latest news on our favourite platform, and is generally a very pleasant channel.

A few IRCNet servers:
  • UK - irc.netcom.net.uk, irc.u-net.com, irc.webbernet.net
  • Finland - irc.funet.fi, irc.atm.tut.fi, irc.jyu.fi
  • Netherlands - irc.xs4all.nl, irc.nl.net, irc.sci.kun.nl

Hope to see you all there :), The users of #amiga

Amiga Aktuell


AMIGA president Bill McEwen answers questions of Community (Executive Update)
+++AMIGA-aktuell-Special+++
After some people of the Amiga Community are confused about the implementation of Memory Protection into the AmigaNG operating system, the consideration of the desktop market and the software license, Bill McEwen wants to say something about these points. Read the statement following the titlelink.

Addendum:
Bill McEwens talks about a discussion at the MooBunny forum in his statement. Interesting on this aspect is an article from Squid (07/19/2000): Natural Science

Bill McEwen's statement:

In Response to Community Concerns Posted on MooBunny

We are very excited at the response that we have received in the first few weeks of the Amiga SDK version 1 going out into the world. We have received lots of feedback, mostly good, some not so good, and three particular points have come up that we would like to address before they become common untruths.

Firstly, it is true that the Amiga Foundation Layer which ships on the SDK does not have memory protection. However, this does not mean that Ami™, the next generation Amiga Digital Environment will not have memory protection. A comment made in an article in the last AmigaWorld seems to have been interpreted in such a way as to suggest that this is the case when in fact the point being made was that Amiga is looking at many solutions for providing robustness and security. Ami™ will provide a robust, secure environment and we will use the most elegant and effective means to achieve this.

Secondly, the End User Licence Agreement that made it into the SDK is in error as a result of a legal misinterpretation. There is NO ROYALTY to be paid for any application either created with the SDK or which will run on Ami™. Amiga will be creating a scheme in which third parties can pay a royalty to Amiga in exchange for official Amiga certification, branding and promotion. This provides a revenue stream to Amiga and a value add for the third party. This scheme is entirely voluntary.

The third point has been drawn as a conclusion from the first two, namely that Amiga is abandoning the desktop market. Nothing could be further from the truth. The announced AmigaOne will feature processor options ranging from 600 Mhz to 1 Ghz, with other, even more powerful devices already on the drawing board. The conclusion to be drawn from this is either that Amiga is very committed to the desktop market or that we are going to build one mother of a cellphone.

We are committed to making the Amiga THE best computer system in the world. Yes we are also going to go into other markets, but that does not mean we are abandoning the desktop, the Amiga philosophy or the loyal Amigans who have stood by the platform through the good and the bad.

UGN AmiWest2000 press release
From:         Bill Borsari tekmage@amiga.org
Date:         Thu, 20 Jul 2000 01:36:54 -0500
Organization: UGN
Subject:      UGN AmiWest2000 Press Release

For Immediate release:

  The UGN in conjunction with Amiga Inc., AmiWest 2000 and
FortWaynemusic.com is proud to announce the second official live audio
broadcast from an US Amiga show:  July 29th and 30th!  Starting in 1998
from the Amiga International show, the UGN has provided live webcam and
Internet Relay Chat (IRC) from Amiga conventions world wide.  It has been
our goal to enhance our informational feeds to include audio since that
very first show.  At AmiWest 2000, the audio feed will once again become a
reality!

In the past we would ask our guests to join us on the IRC network to field
questions and deliver answers, but, due to the nature of IRC, efficiency
was greatly reduced.  To solve that dilemma, we decided to broadcast the
guests voice over the internet as an Mpeg 3 (mp3) Audio stream.
Furthermore, we decided on the mp3 Audio format due to popularity, and mp3
players are available for nearly every platform.  For the Amiga, we will
provide step
by step directions at ugn.amiga.org on how to setup the StreamMp3.rx, a
freely available mp3 Audio stream player, for Ibrowse, Aweb and Voyager.
 The minimum requirements to receive the audio stream live would be a 68030
at 50 MHz and a 28.8 modem.  It is also possible to use the AudioLabs
ProStationAudio software with iRec, see www.audiolabs.it for a demo version
and directions.

In order to give the Amiga community voice, questions will be accepted
through a webpage form on ugn.amiga.org up-until 2 days before the show,
and we will moderate an IRC channel for questions during the interview.  New
for AmiWest we will have ICQ and AIM ability as well. The guests will be
given 1 hour to answer questions and discuss important issues.  Our plan
involves
hosting guests during day and broadcasting the banquet on Saturday night.
Also, we have confirmation that Bill McEwen will be available to us during
the show.

Refer to ugn.amiga.org for the broadcast times and a schedule speakers.
