VersCheck V2 FINAL RELEASE
Michaela Prüß writes:
Starting immediately, VersCheck v2.19 (FINAL RELEASE) is available for download from my homepage. An Aminet upload has been submitted, it should be available there tomorrow.
FINAL RELEASE, since I need the next version of VersCheck for my Install script project, so I finished everything important that was left open or undone, and created a last update release. The next version will therefore be v3 (assuming there are no necessary bugfixes to do). What has changed?
  • Some settings can be done by ENV:
  • The whole version sensing has been reworked, being faster and safer
  • Output can optionally be done in ANSI (so important things can be highlighted)
  • A small statistic has been added
  • Some small and large fixes have been done, internal help -? updated
  • Two bad memory faults, which seldomly occured, but were there in the old version, have been detected and removed
  • Special News-Doc in the doc drawer "NewInThisVersion"
  • New .catalogs (update only German / English so far. So do the update with Installer only)
  • Internal ReqTools requesters replaced by ASL requesters. I had problems getting the old requesters to work with WarpOS and PowerUP, with numerous memory faults. The ASL requesters do work, and are 100% identical with WarpOS and PowerUP.

To all who still have my Webjump homepage in their bookmarks: Due to the bad bandwidth and continuous server downtimes, I moved the pages to http://24.132.37.25/~Gateway/, a different, very fast "free web service" (for all still looking for such, have a look at http://24.132.37.25/index.html). The old address does however link to the current page. Since I wanted it to be easier, there are direct adresses to the pages (please only use these, web layout will change shortly).
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5 (login with language choice)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/D (German contents)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/E (English contents)
  • NW:LGateway5 (NETWORD call) does currently NOT work with the three Amiga browsers, only with Netscape and IE. Should be implemented some time, however.

Bad availability of KatoDev
We, too, have been affected by the moving of one of the biggest providers (Xlink). The server responsible for our web pages (http), their maintenance (ftp) and e-mails (pop3) are either unavailable or offer only very low bandwidth. We ask for your patience, since we cannot switch providers fast enough.

AMPlifier Version 2 has been released. Download: amplifier2.lha (ps)

mp3 input...
You are always looking for mp3 input, e.g. for AmigaAMP. Who still remembers the rock legend "Birth Control" and their hit "Gammaray"??? A great remake of this song has been released for free download by the original artists at www.birth-control.de/CD-gammaray90.htm (title link).
For rock fans a must-have, for techno fans a gateway to new dimensions... :-). (ps)

Following a wish by Ingo Bowe, greetings to you, I expanded the upload list by a new function. This function allows changing the list sorting, which can now be done by date or directory. Also new is the server choice. By clicking on the country flag you can switch to the uploads of the according mirror server. This function is also available for the search function. For the other directories this is in the works.

In the update of December 10th, I made an embarrasing mistake, which has already been fixed. However, I realized that some 4.x versions of Netscape Navigator do have problems with my target tags. I try to fix the problem as soon as possible.

On this point, I want to mention my forum and my guestbook. Both can be found in the top bar at "Interactive". Tell me what you think of my page, or whatever you have to say about Amiga. I am looking forward to your posts. (ps)

TreeList source code released
John Haubrich, too, has released the source code for almost all his programs. Download: www.kc.net/~johnhkc/amigasrc/

He writes:
Nearly all of my Amiga source code has been released on my web page including source for the lovely TreeList MUI custom class. If you are planning to update TreeList, I have a few suggestions:
  1. Implement a getter that returns the order of the tree.
  2. Use this value to dynamically allocate stack space for the iterator methods instead of requiring the class user to allocate the buffer manually. (What do you think of THAT, Allan?? Trust me -- he likes it!)
  3. Send a unique code into the iterators so that multiple iterators may still be used. ** The only problem is: who frees the stack buffers? I guess you'll need a FinishUsingIterator method.

Finally, I'm selling my A4000T on EBay (soon) which has all the source and more...
P.S. If 100 people will send me $100,000 each, I'll continue developing for Amiga. ;-) (ps)

AudioLabs News
ProStationAudio Version 2.50 will be available for a millenium special price. Further details in the official press release:

From:        AudioLabs info@audiolabs.it
To:          team@amiga-news.de
Date:        Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:07:46 +0100
Subject:     News

Press Release

DATE:     14-Dec-99
TOPIC:    NL-editing system for Amiga, Flyer and Draco
CONTACT:  info@audiolabs.it


AmigaOS goes back to Hollywood!

EMRL (http://www.emrl.com) is handling the production of the first
AudioLabs (http://www.audiolabs.it) commercial shot on film, focusing
on the ProStationAudio software for AmigaOS.

Stills from the set are online at:
                 http://www.audiolabs.it/news.html
                 http://usa.audiolabs.it/news.html

The location was Chapman University audio studio, in Los Angeles.
The 30 second commercial was shot in color using an Arriflex SR16
camera, with Kodak Vision film. The script deals with a studio
recording session, involving a cellist playing in the recording
room, while a sound engineer works on ProStationAudio for AmigaOS
in the control room.

The film footage will be digitally captured for post-prodution
on an Amiga-based NewTek Flyer system. Audio post-production
will be performed with ProStationAudio itself.

EMRL is pioneering hi-quality film-based productions for Internet
distribution. Their film-based commercials are shot with care for
classic aspects of production such as lighting and exposure, and
also take into account Internet related details like video
compression and motion artifacts reduction.



To celebrate the last ProStationAudio release of this millennium,
AudioLabs is offering, until December 27th, 1999, the fresh new
ProStationAudio 2.50 at a special discount price.

When ordering before the deadline, you can get ProStationAudio 2.50
for US$299 instead of US$395.

ProStationAudio 2.50 is the ultimate solution for digital audio on
AmigaOS. It integrates with existing technologies and pushes them
forward: from native Studio16 files support to NewTek Flyer audio
clips import/export, from Draco binary compatibility to AHI-compatible
support for almost every card on the market, from Elite/SoundStage
EDL import to dual-CPU/dual-monitor operating modes.


Starting January, AudioLabs will expand the ProStationAudio family
of products with the hi-end ProStationAudio Millennium. The new
application, among other features, doubles editing power by
supporting 32 audio channels in the timeline.

Problems with ImageFX 4.0
There is a problem with the latest versions of ImageFX 4.0 and 4.1 under AmigaOS 3.5. Cycle gadgets are not displayed! Obviously ImageFX cannot handle the chooser.gadget version of 3.5. Haage & Partner and Nova Design have already been notified by me.

I have created a little patch in the meantime, patching ImageFX to make use of the chooser.gadget from the Aminet ClassAct demo, so the program is at least usable.

The patch should appear in Aminet soon: gfx/ifx/IFX-patcher.lha.
The patch and more information about it is available from my homepage (title link) under ARexx-Scripts.

And one hint for ImageFX 4.0 CD: The installation cannot be started from CD, since the Installer icon and the script have different names. So copy everything to hard drive (about 8 MB), and then start installation. (ps)

The Amiga Arena CD-ROM is scheduled for release in spring 2000!

The CD-ROM will contain the Amiga Arena homepage with it's links, demo versions, shareware and PD software! It will give an overview about the still active developments to the (German) user.

I want this CD-ROM to be different from the usual shareware CD-ROMs, offering a comprehensive, informative and up-to-date overview about Amiga programs / products. To achieve this, I need your help!

New Amiga CD32 game
Andreas Etzrodt writes:
Hello CD32 owners! Aren't you upset that there aren't even "simple" new games for your system? There you are owning an "Amiga compatible" console and cannot access all games... Solution: home made!

We (Christian Steiner and myself) succeeded in burning the Shareware game "Sharks!" (coded by Christian, demo on Aminet) to CD and make it run on an Amiga CD32.

This is owed to Michael Ulbrich, who gave me many hints. Due to his help, it worked on first try. Many thanks to Michael!

Why I am writing this? I would like to know if there is interest in expanding this game as CD32 version. I mean if noone would want the game, it isn't worth the time to "pep it up". And there are license issues to clarify. You need a "Trademark File", which had to be licensed from Amiga (at least in Commodore times). I will write to Amiga Int. if this is still necessary, and how much it would cost.

So write me if you are interested in a CD32 version of Sharks!. Besides, Sharks! does not have to be our last game for CD32. We can of course release other (self written) games in CD versions. But as I said before, clarify the license issues and judge interest in this. (You can already contact me anyhow.) E-mail: the_shark@gmx.de. (ps)

New Image Engineer PlugIn
Visual Border grows and splits as 2 separate plug-ins.
Visual Alpha is that new plug-in. It allows you to create grey alpha masks, which you, after once calculated, can keep and composite with other images later. For people, who are not familiar with alpha masks; Think about a stamp or actually it's edges. This plug-in can create you a stamp shaped image and mask with smooth edges. You can then composite it to a bigger image. Ofcourse there are other more complex effects, than simple edge effects. This could be great tool for one, who is creating graphics for video.
Visual Card-plug-in also will soon benefit from Visual Alpha.

OFFER OF THE MONTH
Register Visual Border for Image Engineer and get Visual Alpha for free. This could be very good christmas present for somebody. However last day to order is 9. January 2000. So, if you next morning after change of millennium, find couple of wrinkled bucks from you pocket...
Remember that all minor and major updates of registered plug-ins will always be free for you. Already registered users of Visual Border will get version of Visual Alpha with few effects for free. Just for being good customers.
Visual Engineering is a powerful collection of plug-ins, scripts and graphical material for shareware image manipulation program, Image Engineer.
Plug-ins bring new features to Image Engineer, what even by itself can do lots of image manipulation tricks. All the plug-ins are controlled by user friendly GUI. With couple of mouse clicks, you can do heavy image manipulation. Logos? Click. Frames around image? Click. Most of the plug-ins are free. Some of them aren't. I'm sure the few graphical examples at new website of Visual Engineering should convince you. You can however try demoversions of non-free plug-ins. Online shopping is possible by a credit card.

WBInfo 3.0 - not enough interested so far
Some weeks ago, we issued a request for people interested in a v3 version of WBInfo to contact us and answer the following questions:
  • Who is using WBInfo in which configuration?
  • What are the things you don't like in WBInfo?
  • What is your personal wish list for WBInfo?
  • If WBInfo would be Shareware, what would you be willing to pay for it?

So far, we recieved only 9 mails. That's a little frustrating. If you are interested, please contact us. If a minimum of 20 announces interest in a Shareware version, we start development. (ps)

16th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, December 27th-29th 1999
Hello friends of chaos, you always try your best, but that's how things are going: You had to wait until the last second for the website and the FAQ. That's over now. With the next mail, the complete FAQ will be going down the Chaos Update. Click the title link for info.

But now for the Congress: just as last year, the Congress is taking place in Berlin, house Am Köllnschen Park. Those who attended last year will easily find their way, since we are planning only minimal changes.

The rooms are changed only slightly, the important parts (lecture rooms and hack center) will be as usual. The press rule has been simplified, and one achievement from the camp or another can be found on the congress. Have a look at the projects.

Perhaps there is something in there for you. If you are planning to join the congress with an interesting project of your own, contact orga. Otherwise we wish you and ourselves a relaxed congress, and most important much fun at the systems.
The chaos at the end of the so-called millenium (ps)
