Warp3D 3.0 verfügbar
The changes are mostly internal, new functions in the API, and support for
a new feature of the Permedia 2 (Chroma keying). For the user, the archive
offers the possibility to use MiniGL compiled programs, like the upcoming
GLQuake. There's also a small MiniGL-compiled demo in the archive, to give
you an idea of what's to come :)
Please note that this is only the user archive, I'm currently putting
finishing touches to the developer stuff, and hopefully this will be
available this weekend (But don't kick me if it isn't :)
If you find any bugs, please let me know. It's been tested mainly with the
CGX 4 driver, and it will probably not work with Picasso96 V2 (there where
some changes in P96 V2 that prevent Warp3D from working), but it should
work with the 1.4x release.

Heise: Microsoft-Prozess: Offenlegung des Windows-Quellcode?
«Bill Gates ist angeblich bereit, den Quelltext von Windows offen zu
legen, wenn dadurch eine Einigung im Anti-Trust-Verfahren gegen
Microsoft möglich ist. Dies behauptet zumindest das amerikanische
Wirtschaftsfernsehen Bloomberg-TV nach einem Interview mit dem
ehemaligen Microsoft-Chef und jetzigem Chief Software Architect
des Software-Konzerns aus Redmond. Allerdings kam das Dementi von
Microsoft prompt: Microsoft-Sprecher Jim Cullinan wies die Angaben
laut AFP als "unrichtig" zurück. Gates habe lediglich gesagt, das
Unternehmen werde sein Möglichstes tun, um eine Übereinkunft mit
der US-Regierung zu erzielen.
Bloomberg allerdings bleibt trotz des Dementis bei seiner Darstellung.
Zwar habe Gates erklärt, Microsoft würde den Windows-Quellcode nicht
offen legen, um mit anderen Open-Source-Systemen zu konkurrieren.
Er betonte laut Bloomberg, dass der "geschlossene" Quelltext Windows
zuverlässiger mache. Allerdings habe Gates auf die Frage, was denn
eine "vernünftige" Lösung für eine außergerichtliche Einigung sei,
ebenso erklärt: "Wenn wir eine Einigung haben können, werden wir unser
absolut Bestes dafür tun, sie zu erreichen". Nach Beendigung der
Kameraaufzeichnung des Interviews habe Gates dann auf die direkte
Frage, ob dazu auch die Offenlegung des Windows-Quelltexts gehöre,
explizit mit "Ja" geantwortet. "Wenn das alles ist, was notwendig ist",
fügte Gates laut Bloomberg mit einem Lächeln hinzu.»

StrICQ wird Open Source
Douglas F. McLaughlin hat sich entschieden, den Quellcode von der aktuellen
StrICQ-Version unter GNU-Bedingungen zu veröffentlichen. Doughlas wird
StrICQ die Entwicklung deshalb nicht aufhören, sondern eine neue Version
programmieren. Aktuell plant er Version 2.0, die er STRICQ+ nennen wird
und die viele neue Features beinhalten wird.
Wer daran interessiert ist, den aktuellen Quellcode mit eigenen Routinen,
Verbesserungen oder Erweiterungen zu versehen, kann das gerne tun, wenn er
die GNU Public Licence Bedingungen anerkennt. Außerdem sollte dem Autor
seine Erweiterungen zur Verfügung stellen.
Douglas wird Version 2.0 mit C++ programmieren und nicht mehr wie vorher
mit C. Damit anfangen kann er allerdings erst, wenn er den Umzug in sein
neues Haus abgeschlossen hat. Douglas erklärt weiterhin, dass er am Anfang
eigentlich nur einen kleinen ICQ-Klient schreiben wollte und in den letzten
zwei Jahren sehr viel dazu gelernt hat, so dass er sich jetzt zutraut, mit
Version 2.0, die er praktisch von Grund auf neu programmieren wird, einen
wirklichen guten ICQ-Klient programmieren zu können.
Download Quellcode: STRICQ_1727_SRC_GPL.lha (ps)

läuft und wir Glück haben, wird dieser Prototyp voll funktionsfähig sein und
die Produktionsvorbereitungen können danach beginnen. Im besten Falle können
bereits Ende April 2000 erste Auslieferungen erfolgen; im Fall, dass Fehler
gefunden werden, verschiebt sich die Produktion jeweils um drei bis vier

aktuellsten Entwicklungen und Änderungen informiert.

Lesen Sie hierzu auch die Presseerklärung von Steve Crietzman zu der strategischen
Partnerschaft zwischen Open Amiga Foundation und AROS:
PRESS RELEASE
16 FEBRUARY 2000
Media Contact: Steve Crietzman
President and CEO
Open Amiga Foundation
Tel: +44 (0)1778 393323
OPEN AMIGA FOUNDATION AND AROS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP
16 February 2000 -- The Open Amiga Foundation and AROS are to
enter into a strategic relationship which they believe will be
of great benefit to their organisations, their members and the
wider Amiga community. In the words of Open Amiga president
Steve Crietzman, "our objectives are compatible, it makes sense
for us to work together."
Under the terms of the deal, the Open Amiga Foundation (formerly
known as Open Amiga/COSA), will become the organisation
responsible for public relations, marketing, business and
legal affairs of the open-source AmigaOS project.
The Open Amiga Foundation, led by Steve Crietzman, will also
oversee the creation and development of Standards Bodies, Working
Groups and Development Teams to focus on the development of modern
standards, and the production of high-quality Amiga software and
applications for an open-source Amiga OS.
The Open Amiga Foundation will also handle general promotion of
open standards, open platforms and open-source software within the
Amiga world.
It is our intention to fill the vacuum left by the disappearance
of Commodore's CATS and Developer Support programme, and the lack
of decent high-quality application software.
The Amiga Research OS project, led by Aaron Digulla, will handle
the actual development of the Amiga Operating System core. As
part of this, OAF have agreed to encourage all our developers
to register with the AROS project, and to delegate Amiga OS core
development to AROS. AROS will continue to operate independently
from Open Amiga, but our relationship nonetheless acts, as Aaron
Digulla put it, "like a symbiosis."
The Amiga Research OS (AKA "AROS") project will, in a sense, become
the Amiga Operating System development wing of the Open Amiga
Foundation, and will focus it's efforts on development of AmigaOS/
AROS, should the Amiga operating system be released as open source,
as we hope it will be (and are working extremely hard to achieve).
Open Amiga will complement this by handling the legal and business
affairs of the project, which Aaron Digulla said was "a big relief
for us here at AROS."
We believe an alliance between the leading open-source OS development
team on the Amiga platform (AROS), and the far-reaching resources of
the Open Amiga Foundation are a match made in heaven, and with our
combined resources, we have the resources and the skills to achieve
great things together.
It is our mutual goal to chart a future for the Amiga operating
system that is ambitious, radical and far-reaching, and gives the
AmigaOS a chance of real survival and growth, as an independent
OS preserving its own unique identity.
And by listening to the Amiga community on the Internet and at
trade shows, we have seen that this what many in the community
WANT. They WANT AmigaOS, not some hybrid, alternative or
"inspired by the Amiga concept" OS. They want AmigaOS, and
they want it to survive, and perhaps more importantly, to grow.
Pure and simple.
Our strategy is to give the community what they want, to address
all of these concerns, and deliver improved, portable and free
versions of the AmigaOS for a variety of next-generation CPUs
and platforms.
People will be able to choose to run AmigaOS on top of another
kernel if that is their wish (in order to benefit from Linux
driver support and such like), but they will not be forced to
do so. AmigaOS will be able to function independently. We
believe this is what a great many people in the community
wants.
Questions and queries regarding the future of AmigaOS as "open
source software" should be directed to Open Amiga, which is
acting in the capacity of an overall parent/public relations
organisation.
Developers wishing to participate, either in the development
of the OS core itself, or in working as part of a development team
to create software or applications for the Amiga, should apply
through Open Amiga Foundation, and you will be put in touch with
the appropriate people managing the projects you are interested in.
Current Working Groups include AROS, led by Aaron Digulla, and
our Streaming Media Working Group, led by Ian Parker. Other
Working Groups, Standards Bodies and Development Teams will be
created in due course.
###
Questions and Answers
QUESTION: Is this a merger between AROS and Open Amiga?
ANSWER: No. Both groups will continue to operate
independently, neither will have operational control
over the other. We are merely pooling our resources,
and dividing up roles between us.
QUESTION: How will this co-operation function in practice?
ANSWER: Both groups will work very closely together, and we
will have very clearly defined roles. We are working on the
same strategy, but we share the various roles, and we are
better at different things. (With regards to AmigaOS:
AROS is the development project, OAF is the business/
organisation.)
QUESTION: What is the likelihood that the AmigaOS will be
released as open source?
ANSWER: At this time, it is not possible to give a straight
answer to this question. We are pursueing all avenues open
to us to make it happen.
QUESTION: I thought Gateway still owned the Amiga patents?
ANSWER: They do, and we are in negotiation with Gateway
already on this matter. We are hopeful that a positive
arrangement can be reached within the next few weeks.
QUESTION: Does Amiga Corporation support what you are doing?
ANSWER: We have their unofficial backing. It is not possible
for legal reasons for them to commit to open-source, since
many legal hurdles prevent them from doing this, most notably
the issue of Gateway's patents.
However, Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko of Amiga have
both publicly stated their support for an open-source AmigaOS
in public interviews and forums.
QUESTION: If the AmigaOS is not released as open source,
what happens to AROS and Open Amiga?
ANSWER: We will continue. The source code is not a
necessity for us, but it would be a help.
The main issue for us is access to software patents and
various Amiga trademarks. Providing an adequate deal is
reached with Gateway for access to patents, and a deal
reached with Amiga for access to Amiga trademarks, we can
safely and legally develop a portable clone of Amiga OS.
The source code is unnecessary, but will help us develop
a portable clone of AmigaOS for other CPUs and platforms
in a shorter space of time.
QUESTION: Are you for or against what Amiga are doing re: Tao?
ANSWER: OAF/AROS does not take a position on other Amiga-related
projects including Amiga/Tao or Phoenix/QNX. We support the
right of Amiga users to make their own reasoned judgements
and to choose the solution that is bested suited for them.
We believe it is in the interests of the Amiga community
to be given maximum choice on the path they take, and in that
sense, we support Amiga's creation of a new alternative
option.
QUESTION: I am a developer. I would like to help. What
can I do?
ANSWER: Write to president@amigakernel.org and we will let you
know what groups are looking for more developers, and you will
be invited to join one of our active development teams.
Also bookmark http://www.openamiga.org. Our new, improved
website will be going online within the next few weeks. (ps)

Antworten zum Antrag auf Insolvenzverfahren Phase 5
Aus dem Insolvenzantrag der Phase5 digital products ergaben sich verschiedene
Fragen, die wir der derzeitigen Insolvenzverwalterin Frau Angelika Amend per
Fax am 10.02.2000 gestellt haben.
Hier zunächst unsere gestellten Fragen:
"Viele User haben Geräte (Prozessorkarten u.a.) zur Reparatur an Phase 5
eingeschickt. Es handelt sich teilweise um Garantiereparaturen, aber auch
kostenpflichtige Reparaturen. Was müssen die User tun, um ihre Geräte
(repariert oder auch unrepariert) schnellstmöglich zurückzubekommen?"
Thema Vorauszahlung für bestellte G3/G4 Karten
"Wenn wir richtig informiert sind, wurden die Vorauszahlungen unter dem
Aspekt geleistet, dass die Vorauszahlung auf ein Treuhandkonto geleistet
wird. Das wurde seinerzeit von Phase 5 so in der Presse verbreitet, denn
damit sollte sicher gestellt werden, dass die Kunden ihr Geld zurückerhalten,
falls die Karten (aus welchem Grund auch immer) nicht produziert werden.
Ist das Geld dieser Kunden tatsächlich auf einem Treuhandkonto gelandet
oder ist es Teil des evtl. folgenden Insolvenzverfahrens?"
"Aus verschiedenen Quellen hörten wir, dass Phase 5 aus zwei Firmen bestünde.
Eine GmbH (Gesellschafter sind mir nicht bekannt) und eine GBR zwischen
Wolf Dietrich und Gerald Karda. Daraus ergibt sich die Frage, welche der
Firmen den Insolvenzantrag gestellt hat. Aus dem Briefbogen, auf welchem
ich die Pressemitteilung erhielt, ist leider die Gesellschaftsform nicht
ersichtlich."
"Wie bringt der User in Erfahrung, wann und ob das Insolvenzverfahren eröffnet
wurde, damit evtl. Geschädigte ihre Rechte anmelden können?"
Antwort vom 15.02.2000
Per Fax erhielten wir heute folgende Antwort, die wir
wortwörtlich wiedergeben:

Insolvenzverfahren Phase 5 digital products
Sehr geehrte Frau Struck,
ich komme zurück auf Ihr Schreiben vom 10.02.2000.
Gegenwärtig können die User nur abwarten, ob es zu einer Eröffnung des
Insolvenzverfahrens kommt. Aufgrund der eingestellten Geschäftstätigkeit
erfolgen derzeit weder Reparaturen o.ä. User sollten lediglich ihre
Ansprüche bei der Unterzeichneten anzeigen. Ein Treuhandkonto ist der
Unterzeichneten bisher unbekannt.
Ein Insolvenzverfahren ist nur über das Vermögen der Gesellschaft bürgerlichen
Rechts, bestehend aus Wolf Dietrich und Gerald Carda anhängig. Die User sind
Gläubiger der Gesellschaft, so dass Sie über die Eröffnung des Verfahrens
informiert werden.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen
Angelika Amend
Rechtsanwältin

MAS-Player wird jetzt zum Verkauf angeboten
Der MAS-Player ist eine Hardware, die es ermöglicht, mit jeden AMIGA
kostengünstig MP3-Titel abzuspielen. Die Hardware wird an den
parallelen Port gesteckt. Eine Software, die speziell für diese
Erweiterung geschrieben wurde, ermöglicht es auf Prozessoren,
wie den 68020 mit 14 MHz, in den vollen MP3-Genuss zu kommen. Selbst
auf einen Standard 68000er mit 7 MHz lassen sich Titel bis zu 128 kbps
abspielen. Die Schaltung benötigt keine externe Spannungsversorgung,
sondern bezieht diese über den seriellen Port. Die Schaltung kann
für 180,- DM bezogen werden.

Amiga im Internet Magazin
In der Ausgabe 3/2000 des Internet Magazins findet man auf Seite 109
folgende Antwort auf einen Leserbrief:
"Es ist richtig, dass wir insgesamt sehr windowslastig sind. Aber in
der Vergangenheit ging auch die überwiegende Mehrheit der Internet-Surfer
mit diesem Betriebssystem online. Mit der vermehrten Verwendung von MacOS,
Linux und sogar wieder Amiga und Atari ändert sich das in letzter Zeit
zunehmend. Deswegen werden auch wir in Zukunft verstärkt auf diese
Betriebssysteme achten." (ps)

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
The year continues to be interesting, in both good and not so good
ways.
We have more information from Bill McEwen, President of the new
Amiga. What he has to say is positive and well worth reading. On the
other side of the coin, another long-time Amiga company dies. Phase 5
has been often controversial and sometimes disliked by many Amigans.
Despite that, they will be missed as any lessening of the community
hurts. We've already seen too many losses.
But even while one company goes away, another may be coming back.
There is a new web site for one of my old favorites, Cinemaware.
Efforts are being made to revive this maker of most interesting games.
Cinemaware was not just an Amiga company, so it will be worth keeping
an eye on them to see how the new company develops. You can find them
at www.cinemaware.com.
Speaking of renewal, we have a report below from Bill Griffin, the
person trying to establish a paper Amiga magazine for the US. Bill
hopes to fill the void left when "Amazing Computing" died recently. We
wish him luck, and will keep an eye on his efforts for our US readers.
There's another interesting magazine effort making progress. We
understand the "UGN Times" disk magazine has begun to show up at some
Amiga dealers' locations. We don't have an official list of who has
them and when others may get them. If interested, I guess you'll just
have to keep your eyes open.
There are many other things for you to read about in this issue. We
hope you enjoy it!
Brad Webb,
Editor

Hello. You don`t have any news of the rumored 8MB Alice chip?

I'm afraid I've not heard of it. Readers, can you answer Tony's
question?
Thanks,

Dear Brad
The Amigaupdate is really the best way I can think of to get new
information about our beloved Amiga. A shame that I didn't find you
sooner.
My questions in all this talk about new platforms is:
Which computer should we actually buy. If I f. ex. buy the Amirage
from Phase5 will it be possible for me to use the virtual processor
made by Amino? And when they suddenly make a new platform too, the
Amiga community is in a way split in two? Or how do you see it all?
Or is a word like Amiga compatible the same as falling into the
PC-trap too?
Best regards,
Andreas
~~~~~~
Andreas,
Wow, what questions! In all honesty, I don't think anyone can answer
these questions yet. We need to see what the new Amiga produces, and
the new Amiga (correctly, I think) won't say anything unless there's a
real product to talk about.
If you need something now, buy whatever product looks best to you at
this time. The future is unclear enough right now, I have no idea how
all these pieces will fit together. I'd like to ensure you that the
virtual processor will work on the Amirage, but I can't. My
expectation is that it will, but there are no quarantees.
I'm hoping we can avoid a split, but the possibility exists. I think
it's unlikely, as we're too small for any group that doesn't follow
the lead of Amiga to survive for long, and I think most people realize
that at some level.
For me, I'm planning on sticking with Amiga the company as long as it
produces something close to what I as want as an Amigan. That's just
my approach, but I think it's the most sensible one for those who can
wait.
Wish I had some real answers for your questions,
Brad
======
6 Feb 2000
Brad,
Thanks for being one of the keepers of the flame, so to speak.
I have three things this message is about, two questions and one
soapbox sort of thing:
1. Question #1
Can you tell me about, point me to, give me advice on how to set up
my Linux machine to deal with Amiga-formatted floppies? I can find
info that indicates it can be done, but no instructions. I downloaded
a tarred file called amifdformat.tar.gz, but after unzipping and
tarring I get four files that I don't know what to do with, and I
suspect I need more files than this.
2. Part of the reason question #1 comes up is that even though I got
Amiga Forever and successfully hooked up to the Win98 part of my
laptop, I never could find out how to get files copied from the Amiga
to the laptop, or vice versa. Can you? I can access all the drives
without any problem.
<... intersting "soapbox thing" not included due to length ...>
Greg
~~~~~~
Greg,
First, I apologize for cutting so much interesting material from your
letter. I had to shorten it to include it. I read your thoughts about
Amiga and its need to have a customer orientation. Both Bill McEwen
and Fleecy Moss come from Gateway, and have had a good chance to learn
how not to treat customers, as well as how to do it right. I'm
expecting a much more customer oriented company from the new Amiga
than we were ever likely to get from Gateway.
While I'm a UNIX user in my other life, I'm not a Linux user so I'll
do as I often do and defer to the wisdom of our readers. I'm pretty
certain someone will have answers to both questions.
As for keeping the flame, we intend to stay at it as long as there's
even a flicker. Thanks,
Brad

Frank,
Yes, I'd agree that ANN is a good news site. It's a great place to
keep up with newsgroup postings. For general news, the other sites
might be more useful to more people.

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.

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,

Our project is progressing at quite a clip. Less than 24 hours after
my initial request for writers, I had 24 Emails of people wanting to
submit articles, 2 who wanted to help edit, 5 people who want
subscription info and 1 who simply want to know where to "send the
check".
I have since received Email from 2 more folks wanting to submit
articles. received 2 reviews and have heard from multiple potential
subscribers. I have had contact with 1 former "Amazing..." advertiser
who is helping me in setting up advertising contacts. And I am about
to send out advertising info to all the former "Amazing..."
advertisers (at least those who advertised in the last issue of
Amazing).
Now, we are going to be holding a "Name Our Magazine" contest with
the sample issue. In this contest, new subscribers will be able to
cast their votes for the name of the magazine. We will be including 3
possible names and a space for the subscriber to make their own choice
(in case they don't like ours). The planned end date for the contest
will be at the start of the second day of the St Louis Amiga Show
(April 1-2, 2000).
We have received several requests for info on the mag, so here it is.
We plan on a 30 - 40 page (plus covers) magazine. If there are any
REALLY important items that come up, we are prepared to push the
magazine out to about 50 pages (again plus covers). For the time
being, the magazine will be all black and white (or greyscale, if you
will) and will be printed on plain (non-slick) paper. This will
include the cover as well (at least for the first few issues).
Future plans include glossy paper and color. We've had a few
suggestions about adding cover disks or CDs. We're not really certain
if this is the way to go, so you will probably see a survey asking the
subscribers about this in the future.
The magazine ( again, at least, at the start) will be by subscription
only. I will be releasing, on the net (via the newsgroups and amiga
update) when the sample issues are ready to send out. At that point,
people can Email me with their "snail-,ail" addresses and I will mail
out the sample copies (no charge). Each sample issue will include a
subscription form, a vote card for the "Name Our Magazine" contest and
a shopper's survey (to help us know who to contact for possible future
advertising).
A "sneek peak" of the sample issue shows that we will have a review
of Digital Dreams action adventure game "Wasted Dreams". We will also
have the first of a 2-part review on the Albrecht Computer Technik
"Prelude" sound card. We are currently working out the details for an
interview with Amiga Inc's Fleecy Moss. And an article by A former
Amiga who is finding his way back to Amigas.
The planned kick-of date to send out samples is about March 15
(possibly sooner with a little luck). SO STAY TUNED.

Its gonna be a heck of a century!

The Amiga West Coast show, AmiWest 2000 is shaping up!
That's right!
The AmiWest committee is proud to announce we are again hosting this
year's show in Sacramento, California, at the popular Holiday Inn,
Sacramento NorthEast, 5321 Date Avenue Sacramento, CA 95841, on
Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30th, 2000. The Holiday Inn venue
proved to be such a hit for last year's show that we are again holding
it there.
Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.
AmiWest is in it's third year and is the only all Amiga show produced
on the West Coast. The show has proved very popular for Amiga
enthusiasts in the Western United States.
With the recent purchase of the Amiga by Amino (renamed Amiga
Corporation) from Gateway, the Amiga appears to be on an upswing. The
new Amiga Corporation is headed by Bill McEwen who can be remembered
by participants at both AmiWest'98 and AmiWest'99 as a very
enthusiastic supporter of the Amiga. Also part of the Amiga team are
long time Amigans Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko.
You can learn more about AmiWest 2000 by accessing our web page at:
http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/
If you are interested in exhibiting at AmiWest 2000, please submit
the form that is provided on our web page. We need to know early who
will be exhibiting. Booth sizes and pricing is yet to be determined;
however, by submitting the form on our web page you will receive an
exhibitor packet with all necessary forms and information when the
packet becomes available.
Special booth pricing will be available for user groups.
This weekend event will again showcase the progress that IS the Amiga
Community.

December 18, 1999
It is with great pleasure that we announce that Mr. Bill McEwen,
President and CEO of Amiga Inc., will be our guest speaker at the
Amiga 2K banquet Saturday April 1, 2000. Bill is well know to most
Amiga fans as the former "Marketing Man" of Gateway's Amiga division.
Not to be one to be left out of the best computer in town, he
arranged to buy the company from his former bosses. That has to be a
feather in his cap. To be able to tell people that you so believe in a
product, that after you leave a company, you arrange to buy it, is
just admirable. I don't think they saw it coming, or they never would
have left Bill leave.
So are we in for an interesting tale, undoubtedly. Will we hear about
his ideas, I'm sure. Will we enjoy listening to the man who loves and
owns our beloved Amiga... You Betcha!
Ticketing arrangements are as follows:
Tickets to the Amiga 2K banquet are $35. They will only be sold in
advance, until March 18, 2000.
Admission tickets are $17 for two days - in advance.
or $12 for one day - in advance.
At the door, Admission tickets are $20 for two days.
or $15 for one day.
Class tickets are only available at the ticket table, during show
hours. A schedule of classes will be posted later.
Remember... Orders for tickets must be received no later than
March 18, 2000.
Please mail your requests to:
Amigan-St. Louis
PO Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
Banquet tickets are sold on a first come basis. The last two years
we sold out, so don't wait too long.

From: "Dirk Harlaar" D.Harlaar@ping.de
All users of YAM, please note: a "patch" for YAM PPC appeared on
Aminet today (or maybe yesterday). It should cure a Y2K bug in YAM 2
(even though there isn't a Y2K bug in YAM at all) as well as make YAM
use the PPC.
Do not download and install this "patch"! The install script contains
a macro virus, and YAM doesn't get patched at all!
So, to repeat, the YAM patch now on Aminet is in fact a nasty VIRUS.
Don't use it!

Jan. 3, 2000 amiga-news.de now with Amiga Link Directory (ALD)
amiga-news.de opened the new Amiga Link Directory (ALD) for the
public on 23.1.2000. The new directory`s aim is to become THE
directory for AMIGA-pages. Innovative (http://www.innovative-web.de),
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 (means: only entries of "owners" who want
their entries to be part of a "directory" on the Aminet-CD) be
available via the popular Aminet-CDs. 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.

From 27 - 29 January, Amiga International, Inc. attended one of the
biggest Cable TV Shows in Calcutta, India. Just like last year, it was
another full success. This time, there were four more AMIGA booths
apart from the main one.
Monarch Video and Agani PTY from Mumbai as well as Abishek Enterprise
from Calcutta and Rajan Electronics from Delhi also had booths at this
exhibition. There were lots of visitors from neighbouring Bangladesh,
the coming market where the Amiga will gain shares of the cable TV
market.
In a TV interview, Petro Tyschtschenko explained why AMIGA is so
popular in the Indian market and what solution it means for the TV
market.
Amiga International, Inc. plans to participate in this important
event again next year.

5th february 2000
The design of the Eriol control logic has progressed steadily during
January. Entering february the first fullscale test simulation of the
control logic is about to begin. Following this a shorter period for
correcting any logic errors must be expected. After having verified
the logical correctness of the control logic it will be time for a
fullscale timing simulation of the logic. Hopefully this will prove
what I already believe - that the timing of the control logic will
hold.
However, the Eriol project has also run into some trouble, which may
delay the project. The entire Eriol control logic is to be put into an
FPGA logic chip. The size of the logic asks for an FPGA of some
logical capacity. Unfortunately the development system that I have
access to cannot cope with such big FPGA designs, as it is not a full
development system, but rather a smaller (and cheaper) version. Three
solutions exist and are under evaluation. The first is to get hold of
a full development system. This will most likely be very expensive and
I don't think I can convince the University that it has to pay up
(unfortunately). The second solution is to break the design into two
separate and smaller FPGA chips. This will give access to enough logic
space to allow an implementation. However, it will give more delay in
the hardware as signals has to pass in and out of the FPGAs, and be a
lot more expensive due to the extra FPGA. The third solution is to
find another logic device for which the University has a development
system which can handle the big design.
Currently the solution being worked on is the second. I'm now working
on logically splitting the logic into two FPGAs. Together with this a
redesign of parts of the logic will take place as to minimize the
number of signals having to go from one chip to the other.
Unfortunately this use of two FPGAs will put just about an extra £20
on the production price :( The final product price is still
undefined...
The first prototype board, first expected at the end of february,
will without doubt be delayed from the afore mentioned problems. When
the first prototype board will exist is now an open question, but the
delay should be no more than a month.
Yours sincerely
Thomas Graff Thøger,

High Performance Digital Audio Decoder
Introduction
The Storm MP3/e is an MPEG audio decoder specifically designed to
allow machines that dont have the power to play MPEG files to do so.
The unit incoroprates state of the art components and many features
not available in a unit of this price. Storm MP3/e allows a standard
Amiga 500, PC80286 or Archimedies to play MP3 files with ease. The
unit is compatible with any system fitted with a parralell printer
port and is supplied with drivers for PC and Amiga use. Archimedies
drivers will be available shortly after release if the demand is
there.
Connections
The Storm MP3/e provides three user connections. Two 3.5MM jacks
provide Audio output and a pass-thru connector for the host machines
existing audio (if fitted). The output of the storm is low level
although an optional amplifier unit will be available. Internally the
unit has two high speed expantion ports allowing for future modules
such as radio tuners and on board storage. A third internal header and
a masked lens on the top of the unit make the Storm MP3/e infra-red
ready. The unit is powered by either it's internal PP3 9V battery or a
mains supply (available seperately) The MP£ powers up and down
automatically along with the host system, the internal electronics
also support a 'suspend' mode. In this mode one standard Alkaline
battery should last for about a month. Drivers are provided that
enable Win95 to utilise this feature as if it were part of a laptop's
own system.
Software
Storm MP3/e is supplied with software for both PC and Amiga. The
Amiga software includes a low-level library, programming information,
an MP3 player and diagnostics program. PC wise both DOS and Windows
95/98 software is supplied, again drivers, diagnostics and driver
software. No drivers are available for the Archimedies but development
information is available to anyone who wants to write software.
Software is supplied on ISO 9660 format CD and two floppies, one for PC and
one for Amiga.
In Action
The prototype units are nearing completion and will be dispatched to
various developers and testers shortly. Below are a few shots of the
unit, unfortunately the quality of these pictures is rather poor and
they'll be replaced as soon as possible.

probably the most advanced Aminet search engine on the Internet.
Designed with the same technology that many commercial websites
employ, speed, power, efficiency, and ease of use are guaranteed.
Originally scheduled for launch at World Of Amiga '99, the project
has been held back due to various other commitments we've had. We
firmly believe that you'll agree it's been worth the wait!
Try it now! It's fast, it's free, and there's nothing else like it!

Steeple Software is proud to announce the first commercial release of
PhotoFolio v2.0 in conjunction with Schatztruhe.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is a major step forward from it's predecessor version
1.2 with many new features including:
* ARexx
A fully documented ARexx port for those of you who like to automate
tasks using ARexx scripts. These scripts are made available through
pull down menus and toolbay buttons and can be pre-configured in the
settings window.
* Drag 'n' Drop proofs
Dragging and dropping of proofs is now supported (by popular
demand!). You can drag and drop:
- Between browse windows.
- Onto a path in the main window's listtree.
- Onto a Show window.
- Onto the information window.
* Workbench Icon Support
Workbench icons can be dropped:
- Onto a browse window
- Onto the listtree in the main window.
* Toolbays
Both the main and browse windows now have toolbays (optionally, of
course!) making navigating around PhotoFolio v2.0 faster and easier.
Those of you who don't like using context menus.... this is for you!
* CLI support
You can launch PhotoFolio v2.0 from a shell, passing in paths. Each
path passed in will automatically be added to the main window's
listtree and then opened into a browse window.
* Listtree Tree mode
The listtree in the main window can now be operated in the current
"flat mode" or as a proper directory tree structure in "tree mode".
* Native IFF-ILBM loading
Imageio.library has been re-written to support IFF-ILBM. This means
there is a dramatic increase in speed when loading IFF-ILBM files.
* Amiga DOS pattern matching
Selecting proofs has never been easier. Using the in-built Amiga DOS
pattern matching system, proofs can now be selected using wildcards
etc.
* Saving of images as JPegs
Images can now be converted to jpegs directly within PhotoFolio v2.0.
* Settings
The setting window has been totally re-designed and re-written making
sure your prefs file is completely compatabile with future versions of
PhotoFolio.
* Unsaved proof indication
For those of you who run without any text description below the
proofs, knowing which proofs are saved and which aren't is a problem.
Now, a red box is (optionally) drawn in the bottom right hand corner
of un-saved proofs.
* Constant size proofs
Proofs can now be displayed at a constant size, making the
distribution of proofs in the browse window even.
There has also been several minor improvements and additions, and
many bug fixes from version 1.2 making it more stable and flexible.
These new options coupled with the the existing features of
PhotoFolio make it a formidable image cataloguing system for both the
amateur and professional user alike. With continuing support,
PhotoFolio promises to be one of the most powerful image cataloguing
systems available on the Amiga platform.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is planned to be released in early to mid February.
Price has yet to be decided, however users who have paid the shareware
fee will receive a discount on the retail price.

DeinName@Workben.Ch
Nachdem sich so einige Amiganer bei uns angemeldet haben, habe ich mich
entschlossen, die Sache weiter auszubauen! Im Moment sind für KOSTENLOSE
EMail-Accounts (POP und SMTP) und GRATIS Subdomains nicht nur die
Domainendungen AMIGATOOLS.NET und AMIGAWEB.NU sondern auch die wirklich
tolle Endung Workben.Ch zu haben. (Diese allerdings erst in 24 Stunden
da gerade erst im Internet beantragt). Da, wo es unlimitierten Webspace
und EMail-Adressen kostenlos gibt, sind ab morgen folgende EMail und
Subdomains verfügbar:
microserv.org - intermail.nu - amigatools.net -
amigaweb.nu - microserv.nu - workben.ch - niveau.nu -
webcamhost.nu - internetv.nu - piratensender.nu - spacemail.nu -
A0L.nu - t-offline.nu
Wer zu diesen Namen eine gute Idee für ein Programm hat, kann gerne
sofort bei uns auf einen dieser Namen als Subdomain einsteigen.
Falls mich jemand davon überzeugt, dass er ein wirkliches 5-Sterne
Programm aus dem Hut zaubern kann und derjenige auch mit ganzem
Herzen dabei und keine Eintagsfliege ist, würde ich dieses Programm
vielleicht sogar mit einer kostenlosen Top-Level-Domain ausstatten.
Die Ideen einfach zu mir tickern (http://www.intermail.nu) oder
unsere Hotline anrufen. Also Leute, wenn es jemals eine Chance gab,
im Internet etwas echt Großes auf die Beine zu stellen, dann ist diese
Chance jetzt da. ZUGREIFEN! Mit unseren 2500 bis 3000 Pageviews am
Tag kann man sicher einiges anfangen. (ps)

Die Telebörse: Wie geht es eigentlich..? AMIGA
Auf Seite 154 in dem vom Handelsblatt herausgegebenen Magazin "Die Telebörse"
ist ein ganzseitiger Artikel über AMIGA. Hier einige Auszüge:
«Kein Computer ist so oft für tot erklärt und dann doch wieder belebt worden
wie Amiga. Das liegt nicht allein an der Technik, sondern auch an einer
eingeschworenen Fangemeinde.»
«Gäbe es einen Preis für das Stehaufmännchen der Computerbranche -
Amiga hätte eine ganze Vitrine davon. Zwei Konkurse hat die Marke überlebt,
viermal wechselte sie den Besitzer, und trotzdem wurden bis heute fünf
Millionen Computer verkauft. Chaos ist der zweite Vorname dieses Computers,
der nur überlebte, weil es immer Menschen gab, die an Amiga glaubten.»
Es folgt die Geschichte des Amigas bis zur Commodore-Pleite.
«Amigas Schicksal schien besiegelt, da griff ein gewisser Petro Tyschtschenko
ein. Commodores ehemaliger Logistikmanager überredete die deutsche
Handelskette Escom, die tote Marke zu übernehmen. Amiga wechselte 1995
den Besitzer und stand trotzdem vor einem Problem. Die Lager waren von
den Konkursverwaltern aufgelöst worden. Es war Mai und Escom brauchte
dringend Geräte für das Weihnachtsgeschäft. Wieder war es Petro
Tyschtschenko, der rettend eingriff. Er spürte auf den Philippinen
eine fast vergessene Lagerhalle auf, in der Bauteile gehortet worden
waren. Tyschtschenko schwatzte den Gläubigerbanken von Commodore die
Lagerbestände ab. Danach saßen drei Philippinos im Monsumregen vier
Monate und sortierten Bauteile. Im September 1995 konnte man in
Deutschland wieder Amigas kaufen.»
Es folgt die weitere Odyssee des Amigas.
«Im Spätsommer 1999 ging Collas.Seine Pläne wurden auf Eis gelegt und
Gateway verkaufte den Namen Amiga an die Start-Up-Firma Amino-Development.
Dessen Manager wollen dort weitermachen, wo Gateway das Handtuch geworfen
hattee, und neue Hardware entwickeln. Eines ist klar: Solange es die Amiga-Gemeinde
und Petro Tyschtschenko gibt, wird die Marke überleben.» (ps)

überarbeiteten Seiten gefunden haben. Voraussichtlich werden wir
bis Ende Februar wieder komplett "präsent" sein. Um an unserer
öffentlichen Mailingliste zum Thema Amiga teilzunehmen, schicken
Sie eine eMail mit "subscribe" im Betreff-Feld und Ihrer Adresse
im Absender an: open-daug-ml-subscribe@eGroups.com

IOM vorübergehend nicht erreichbar
Hiermit möchte ich kurz vermelden, dass der Provider der Firma
IOM Film- und Videoproduktion, die Prokscha & Prokscha GmbH
aus Hof aufgrund eines laufenden Insolvenzverfahrens alle Server
abgeschaltet hat. Da wir von dem Vorgang nicht informiert
wurden, konnte unser neuer Provider leider nicht schnell genug
reagieren. Folge ist, dass derzeit weder die http://www.messefilme.de
noch die email-Adressen der Firma IOM funktionieren. Zur
Überbrückung wurden folgende emails eingerichtet:
iom@freenet.de
mburkhar@htwm.de
In diesem Zusammenhang möchte ich mich bei der Firma
Netminds GbR aus Rehau bedanken, die uns schnelle und unkomplizierte
Hilfe angeboten haben (http://www.netminds.de)! Netminds arbeitet
unter anderem auch mit Amigas, ich denke das sollte mal gesagt werden ;-).
Ich hoffe, dass wir die Domain schnellstmöglich wieder online kriegen. (ps)

Neue Webadresse und neues Layout
Die Webadresse meines Programmes ist (nun endlich) eine eigene Domain.
Der "alte" Shortcut Gateway.To/Gateway5 sollte funktionieren, aber ab
sofort stehen meine Seiten in einem vollkommen neuen Layout unter der
neuen Adresse http://www.AmigaTools.Net (Titellink) bereit. Zusammen
mit dem Seitenupdate sind auch VersCheck, Gateway.Library und die
GatewayTools aktualisiert worden. Das neue Layout ist wesentlich
schneller und enthält weniger Grafik und vor allem KEINE FRAMES mehr! (ps)
