AROS: SVGA-driver and mascot Kitty
AMIGAplus wrote:
There is the first beta version of the new SVGA-graphic driver for the operating system AROS which can
be activated over the boot menu. The driver may not work on some computers but nevertheless it shows
what can be graphically possible. The current used 4bit VGA modus is supposed to be substituted by
the 16bit or 32bit SVGA modus.
Besides this Eric W. Schwartz has given the AROS project a mascot: Kitty
should be worth a look.

AMHuhn: Update Available for Download (Update)
Under the title link you'll find in the downloads area a little update for AMHuhn. With this the crosshairs are color red and are seen more
easily. Many users had complained about this.
Offering AMHuhnXE
In a few day Abakus-Design's AMHuhn(X)mas(E)dition will be introduced. The game comes with completely different graphics and sounds.
But much more than the graphics and sounds have been changed.
Introduction of AMHuhnXE
As thanks to all who trusted us with the update, the download will made available early to registered users. This is our Christmas present to
these users. In the next few days accounts for the protected areas will be opened and sent to the users. For security reasons the entry will
be limited, in order to obstruct that the accounts are forwarded to others.
When Christmas time is over the archive will be offered to everybody.
Addition:
Notice:
We could only work through the entered registrations sequentially. As a result the new registrations first come to a close. Thanks for your
understanding. (ps) (Translation: dm)

TV Card Software: AmithlonTV Beta 200
There's a new beta version (200) of AmithlonTV available for download from the AmithlonTV homepage.
AmithlonTV is a really, genuinely modularly built driver system for PCI TV cards. Only the necessary components and resources are loaded.
New cards unknown to AmithlonTV will be automatically detected and may be configured by the user. In order to do this the components of
the card are detected in a setup program.
The advantage of such a system is that a new driver for any specific component will function on any TV card that has the component. Special
modifications by me are generally unnecessary. We won't be involving ourselves with a bunch of supported cards that haven't been tested.
AmithlonTV will run on practically any card. When certain components haven't been added they just haven't been added, but the rest of the
card works.
A further advantage of AmithlonTV is that multiple cards are supported. Two, three, or more are possible. This is easily managed and may
be used in a security system. It is all the same if one wants a picture from each, or a channel list to switch between cards.
The entire system is built so modularly that USB and Firewire may be possible. At this time there is support for the powerpci.library (Amithlon).
The openpci.library support is currently implemented and functioning but is not yet officially available.
What's new:
As is already known through other channels, Amithlon TV has a VHI_Studio driver. Your computer will become a multimedia center, especially
with the new accelerated functions of VHI Studio version 6.0.
The channel seeker has also been greatly accelerated. In contrast to other options (such as Windows software) there is a real channel seeker
here that doesn't just check for channels, but also VCRs and satellite receivers that are found between channels.
There are other small improvements in the works.
Especially noteworthy are the new audio drivers. All MSP cards should work with these.
The new Hauppauge drivers achieve an automatic configuration, whereby the copying of special configuration data occurs.
You'll find a lot more information by clicking on the title link!

FREE Virus Help Team Maillist
When the Virus Help Denmark web was down due to the changing of Internet
providers, we had to close the VHT-Denmark maillist. Now we want to bring
it back to all of you (a lot of people have been asking for it). But Charlene of
the Canadian Virus Help Team, has a maillist, and we don't want to a have two
maillists that writes the same things. So the Virus Help Team maillist will be up
at Charlene's Canadian VHT maillist.
If you join this maillist, you will receive emails about new updates of all the great
Amiga antivirus programs (ect. VirusZ, VirusExecutor, Mill and xvs.library).
You will also receive an email when a new virus or trojan is found. Notices can
only come from list operators, which is Charlene of VHT-Canada or myself
Jan of VHT-Denmark.
You can also see the maillist on-line at this webaddress:
VHT at Yahoo: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/vht-can/
You can join the maillist at the two Virus Help Team's websites:
VHT Canada : http://vht-can.shadow-realm.org/links.html#world-services
VHT Denmark : http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/maillist.htm
Or you can write an empty email to this email to subscribe to the maillist:

Announcement: Malibu-Plugin for Hollywood
Andreas Falkenhahn:
Airsoft Softwair will soon release the first plugin for Hollywood. The
Malibu plugin extends Hollywood to accept also Scala presentations and
display them. This makes a dream come true for those Amiga users who always
wanted to display their old Scala presentations on Workbench or on an own
Intuition screen in a system friendly way. The Malibu plugin is scheduled
for release in the middle of January 2003 and requires Hollywood 1.0.
Additionally I want to point out that I cannot attend the ARC show in Aachen
unfortunately. Therefore Hollywood is not available for sale there either.
