Permission Granted To Redistribute Without Alteration

Martin Sahlén - director@aaa-awards.org, +46-8-673 73 23 - Director, The AAA Awards
Bob Scharp - bscharp@icon-stl.net - Amiga 2k organizer

Stockholm, Sweden - Sunday, May 14, 2000.

The 1999 USA AAA Awards were presented at the Amiga 2k show in St. Louis, April 1-2 2000. The first USA AAA Awards went to Kermit Woodall (Community) and SoftLogik Publishing (Product). Please accept our sincere apologies for this late announcement.

We hope to provide you with photo coverage of the event soon, available at www.aaa-awards.org/winners/1999.php.

The Community award

The AAA Award USA - Community 1999 went to Kermit Woodall of Nova Design. He was selected the greatest 1999 US Amiga personality by the US Amiga community in the public voting.
The motivation given was:

"For being an inspiration to the US Amiga community, with never failing commitment, by attending shows, involvement in initiatives such as ICOA and the AAC, and always giving appreciated support to the community and dealers."

The Product Award

This year also marked the launching of the first Product awards. The AAA Award USA - Product 1999 went to SoftLogik Publishing, represented by owner Deron Kazmaier. Their DTP package PageStream 4 was selected the best US Amiga product!
The exact motivation given by the jury was:

"Best product released for the Amiga, and certainly the best publishing package available in it's price performance class. SoftLogik has been a rock in the Amiga community, developing good products like PageStream for many years. It is without doubt that Amiga would not be able to hold even the position it does today, without products like PageStream 4."

Still to come... ...is the AAA Award International, Spain, Sweden and United Kingdom! Please check our homepage www.aaa-awards.org for up-to-date information on where & when.

Asimware with new website
The great AsimCDFS seems to be gone! Asimware recreated their homepage, and there is nothing to be seen of AMIGA products! Only HotBurn!

We asked Asimware about it, and yesterday recieved this answer from Richard Giannini: "We will have the downloads for AsimCDFS and MasterISo return shortly. The download code has to be rewritten to fit the new web site structure. I apologize for the confusion."

Who knows his stuff with CDXL? Since our next issue of the CD32 Outside CD32 Alliance is all around "CDXL", we are looking for users who know this animation format, perhaps even created their own animations for it or converted other animation formats like MPEG, AVI, Quicktime or Anim into a CDXL animation.

We would be happy if some users would contact us on this.

clickBOOM: S-files #4
The adventure Nightlong, which spans 3 CDs, is going into final testing stage. At clickBOOM it was already successfully played under AmigaOS 3.5. The CDs contain the animation sequences in low and high resolution. The high one is for PPC and 060 systems, the small one for 040 and 030 Amigas.

The Amiga port of the game classic "Z" by the Bitmap Brothers is 50% ready. The port is very difficult, since Z is written in Assembler, but the most difficult part is done.

AminetGUI now with AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive)
The Aminet-GUI has a new feature! Starting immediately is AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive). This is an archive containing the weekly upload lists. They can be sorted by date or directory. As a special service, I will also offer the so-called Top Aminet Uploads. These are uploads I described briefly. They can also be found on the AmigaFuture homepage, since I create them on their behalf.

Atari-Lynx emulator: Handy v1.05
On May 12th, Mathias Roslund released the Amiga version v1.05 of Keith Wilkins' Atari Lynx emulator "Handy". With this release, the Amiga version closes the gap to the Windows version.

The Amiga version is based on Handy v0.70 and offers high compatibility. It supports the CD32 joypad, running on CGFx screen modes with a resolution of 320x200. Some of the changes since the last version:
  • Change: now uses ReadArgs instead of custom CLI subroutines
  • Change: by pressing HELP, a screenshot can be saved in PCX format
  • New: support for Nostalgia
  • New: SCREENMODE parameter support

Handy requires an Amiga with PPC board, WarpUP v4.0+, 16 MB RAM, AGA or CGFx. Additionally, the lynxboot.img file is required.

The handheld game console "Lynx" (with color screen) was developed by R.J. Mical, Dale Luck and others for Epyx. Distribution was done by Atari. It was released at the same time as the Nintendo Gameboy, but was not successful due to the higher price and lower run time, due to the color display.

Development system for Lynx games was the Amiga.

AmigaTalk v1.5
AmigaTalk version 1.5 is a GUI version of 'Little Smalltalk' (v1.0 by Tim Budd) for Amiga systems, enabling using almost all Intuition and some OS functions from SmallTalk. It is being worked upon supporting more OS functions, but AmigaTalk is far from being complete.

However the system is stable, and additionally contains a collection of test files as well as a detailed documentation.

AmigaTalk requires AmigaOS v3.5+, a CPU 68040+ and 2 MB free drive space. Additionally, DeckBrowser from InovaTronics is required. The author offers to send the CanDo libraries or the DeckBrowser upon request.

Smalltalk is a programming language developed in the 80ies by Alan Kay at Xerox, and is considered being THE OOP language.

Submission: Interested in gfx module for DKB Wildfire?
Since the "Inferno" gfx card for the 68060 accelerator "Wildfire" from DKB was not produced, and as a reaction to many discussions on the Wildfire mailinglist on possible alternatives, a survey has been started at the title link to judge how many are interested and which features are wanted.

This does not come with a promise that something will be produced, or any company be contacted.

SWOS Euro 2000 probably won't appear
SWOS Euro 2000 by ALIVE Mediasoft will probably not be released due to lack of time.

A new version of SWOS is ready and could be released in time for Euro 2000, but ALIVE Mediasoft is lacking the time to get all the team and player names into the program. If there is somebody willing to help, perhaps the game could be released in time.

Independantly, a new version will appear for the next UK season in August.

Aminet-GUI now banner-free again
Alexander Kurtz writes:
Due to me doing my military service in the Luftwaffe starting May 1st, 2000, only now I saw that Prohosting has changed their rules and is now placing a banner to every page ending on .html or .htm.

These banners sadly destroyed the looks, if not the usability of the GUI. Due to my military service I was able to react only now. The GUI should be free again of Prohosting banners in all important frames. So it is again possible to navigate the page, and make use of it.

I want to say sorry to all visitors of my site, and warmly invite you to visit my site again as frequently as before. Soon I will create an archive saving the upload lists, so they can be saved for reference. I can NOT check them for obsolete files, however, but would welcome hints.

Again I want to stress that I am maintaining the GUI all alone, and that I am still looking for someone interested in assisting me, since my online time is right now limited to weekends. Please contact aminet@web.de.

Confusion about ATC v1.1
While uploading the final version v1.1 of the FTP client AmiTradeCenter to Aminet there was a delay, giving the impression the archive was not uploaded successfully (while, in fact, it was successful). Due to this confusion, another beta version of ATC v1.1 (prerelease 8) was published on the program's homepage. Please simply think of this as prerelease 1 of ATC v1.2.

Remarks on asyncio.library V40
First of all many thanks for the positive response to the new library!
I haven't expected one misunderstanding, though, which I'd like to put right.

The 68k functions are NOT faster under WarpOS! You only get the speed increase if you call the new PPC functions from a PPC!!

The reason is the context switch! If you would access the PPC from the 68k side, you'd get a switch every time that would slow down the system! In this case the library would be even slower. Existing programs that run under WOS would have to be adapted for the new PPC functions!

I hope I haven't killed the entire euphoria, but the many feedbacks regarding this make this correction necessary. If somebody has any interest, I would be glad about a V40 version for PowerPC. Sadly, I can't realize that (yet).

asyncio.library v40 with WarpOS
Many developers know it - the "asyncio.library", which can significantly speed up media access by asynchronous transfer. It is now available with WarpOS support, while being 100% compatible with v39, and still being usable with a pure 68k. The disk access with WarpOS functions is about twice as fast as with 68k functions.

The archive is freeware. Developers wanting to use the new library can use the archive for free. An Aminet upload will follow (util/libs).

RB2Exe v1.0 released
The long awaited Rainboot add-on RB2Exe has just been released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. RB2Exe enables you to convert standard Rainboot configurations into standalone programs (executables). The programs are then running on all Amiga systems with OS2.04+. This way, you can easily create your own multimedia presentations!

RB2Exe can now be downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link).

This is the first Amiga Gay Magazine. It is in a very early stage of completion. Of course interesting the poll: "Who's the best looking guy from the Amiga world?" This site is for all Amiga users.

Heise: Gates: Split-up would make it harder to defend against viruses
"Bill Gates, father and Chief Software Architect of Microsoft, takes the lightning fast spreading of the e-mail worm ILOVEYOU as an opportunity to warn of splitting up the company. "Updates for Windows- and Office-software, e.g. to protect of attacks like the 'Love Bug', would be much harder to get for the computer user", Gates wrote in an article for the latest issue of the US news magazine Time."
Full article (German) at the title link.

Seems like someone grasping for the last straw... ;-) (ps)

Simon II can be sold more than 1000 times!
It could be read on diverse news sites that, according to Epic, Simon the Sorcerer II should only be sold 1000 times. This is definitely untrue! (Source: Epic Germany, Mr. Thomas Steiding.)

Sadly, the message that Simon II has already been mastered and is due for release in about two weeks is also untrue. In fact a release is scheduled for the show in Neuss, but this cannot be guaranteed.

New Movieshop tools from Elastic Images
The 'Dropout-Killer' can now be downloaded from my homepage. The program repairs corrupted pictures in scenes by extracting a half-picture from the previous and successing picture each, creating a new picture from them and inserting it at the corrupted position in the scene.

Also, the tips & hints page has been updated (on this subject).
