Programming: Modula-2 Compiler
Under the title link, Thomas Breeden provides a self-developed, non-optimizing compiler for the programming language Modula-2. The program is compiled for 68k processors and excludes the PPC CPU, however it was continuously used and further developed under AmigaOS 4.
A short test under WinUAE ran without problems. A PPC version is planned. (cg) (Translation: dm)

IOSPIRIT: Amiga pages moved, news from the web shop
IOSPIRIT's AMIGA pages, for already some time now, have moved to
amiga.iospirit.de. Since there were no other product pages until now, the company domain has redirected to this subdomain until now. With the release of the IOSPIRIT's Mac software "Picture Arena", the redirection has been changed to picturearena.com. The AMIGA pages will of course stay online. Regarding the company domain, a portal site is planned for the future, that will then also link to the AMIGA pages.
Further news:
The shop system has been reworked from ground up. Orders can now be
made much easier and faster - an accout is no longer required.
Furthermore IOSPIRIT GmbH now accepts American Express credit cards in
addition to Visa and Mastercard. The free bundling of drivers
introduced with the last promotion will be kept. The VHI RS232 and
IOUSB DigiCam driver packages will be bundled with VHI Studio, the
IOUSB Scanner Package will be bundled with fxSCAN respectively. They
come for free at no additional cost, but therefore without support and
functional guarantee.

MorphOS: native versions of MPEG de-/encoders for Wildfire7
"wf_mpeg2decode" and "wf_mpeg2encode" are the MorphOS versions of the free MPEG video loaders and savers that are part of the Wildfire7 distribution.
The two files have to be copied into the directory "system/tools/" in the Wildfire7 main directory. The already existing files have to be replaced with the new ones - the author recommends to create a backup of the old versions first in case problems with the new version should arise.
It cannot be guaranteed that the programs run on all systems, the modules have been tested on a Pegasos 1 G3@600mhz.
Saving of a test animation as MPEG file with the 68k mpegsaver needs 1 minute and 42 seconds (with JIT) while the PPC native version takes 16 seconds.
If there are any questions please contact Andreas Küssner via e-mail. Our thanks go to Oliver Hummel for compiling and doing various tests.

Tales of Tamar: Not enough prospects for "The Great War of Anarrow"
Dear Amiga community, unfortunately there are not enough prospects for our free
action "The great war of Anarrow" (14 at all, 11 Mosianer and 3 Hombres). Therefore
the war will not take place.
But we give a last space of time of one week. If there should be more than
50 persons on each side the war will take place.
We want to invite all interested players to use the shareware option and
to play the game for a while for free.
Greetings,
Wolfen & the ToT-Team (snx) (Translation: dr)
