will be published in the future - such as new mods and levels, whether created by users or downloaded from the server.
Originally there were 41 Quake 2 mods for AmigaOS. Since then there have been another 20 mods. These additional mods will be
downloadable from the Quake2 page. So there will be 2 or 3 mods offered for download weekly, just check the page and don't miss
them.
To start off, the following three mods are offered:
- ChaosDM - one of the best Deathmatch mods for Quake 2
- Star Trek - contains the entire Enterprise as a level (and new weapons)
- Bots - "Battle of the Sexes" - a CTF Mod, based on classes,
in which a male team and a female team go up against each other.
The requirements to be able to use these mods are that you must have Quake2 for Amiga installed. Quake2 is available from retailers now.

Amiga Arena: Full Version of WBMenu`97
In cooperation with Manfred L. and with the approval of H. Röhricht Amiga Arena
is making possible a further classic full version of WBMenu`97. Here is a snip
from the handbook:
WBMenu`97 is a multifunctional high speed data bank system with an intuitive user
interface, with which you are placed in a position where you can have an overview
and manage and start all of your programs.
To this end WBMenu`97 offers functions, for which unless several programs must
be inserted, and is an offer to all who wish to get the most from their computers.
Thereby it doesn't matter what particular use you make of your computer. WBMenu`97 is
the first program of its type, that can take over full control of the system. Whether it is the
binding of hardware drivers or the loading of the Workbench, it's "no problem" for WBMenu '97.
You'll find more information in the handbook for WBMenu`97!

Audio: AHI/PPC 6 only for MorphOS and AmigaOS 4
Martin Blom, the developer of the soundcard driver system AHI, has reiterated that there will be
neither PowerUp nor WarpUp versions. There is only the MorphOS version (available) and the
AmigaOS 4 version (planned).
Here is his original announcement:
"Yes, indeed, today is November 7th, not July
11th. Anyway, I've been asked to clarify one thing
regarding the PPC version of AHI. There will be no WarpUp version, nor
will there be any PowerUp version. The reason is that neither of these
two systems allow PPC code to be invoked from within an interrupt?,
which is an absolute requirement for AHI. The current PPC version is
for MorphOS only. In the future, I hope to have an AmigaOS 4 version
as well.
1) While it should have been obvious by reading the PowerUp documentation,
there is nothing in the WarpUp documentation or the actual design that
suggests that it will not work; in WarpUp, it could be possible
if the implementation had allowed it. In any case, the days when I could
be bothered to write for a mixed CPU system are since long gone..." (ps) (Translation: dm)

Quake2 Amiga Port Available
On the 2nd of November 2002 at the WOASE convention in London, Quake 2 for AmigaOS officially went on sale.
The game was demonstrated in a "Death Match" between three Amigas. It ran a custom level which was specially
created for the convention. The network server was a PC, in order to demonstrate that PC users and Amigans may
play in the same TCP/IP multiplayer network, however naturally an Amiga could also be used as a server. The
Quake2 packet for Amiga contains an easy-to-use installer script, a startup GUI, and documentation in AmigaGuide
format, including the original version of Quake2 for Windows, which contains the data files.
Over 55 Quake2 mods are to be offered for Quake2 through different channels, including the Internet.
Quake2 for AmigaOS will become available from your local Amiga dealer sometime this week. The price may vary
from dealer to dealer.

Sendo Z100 Will Not Appear
Setback for Bill McEwen: The Sendo Z100 will not appear.
Even in his Executive Update at the beginning of
November, 2002, McEwen was announcing (under point 6) that the Sendo Z100 with the "SmartPhonePacks"
would be produced.
In the article from Heise "Setback for Microsoft's Handy-Operating System"
(see title link) it is made clear that presumably nothing will come of the market introduction of Amiga Anywhere on
this Handy.
Sendo released the following in a special announcement:
»Sendo hat das Entwicklungsprogramm für ihre Smartphones auf Basis von
Microsoft Windows for Smartphone 2002 Software eingestellt. Als eine Folge
davon wird das Sendo Z100 nicht auf den Markt kommen.
Wir bedauern das zutiefst. Es war eine sehr schwerige Entscheidung,
insbesondere weil wir durch das Z100 die führende Position bei der Entwicklung
von Smartphones erworben hatten. Wir sind sehr enttäuscht, dass wir das Z100
nicht auf den Markt bringen.
Gleichzeitg freuen wir uns aber, dass wir heute mitteilen können, das wir die
Series 60 Plattform von Nokia für unsere Smartphones lizenziert haben. Wir sind
davon überzeugt, dass wir damit unsere führende Position bei der Entwicklung von
Smartphones in 2003 fortsetzen können.« (ps) (Translation: dm)

Pegasos in the Microwave and Three More Bundles
After the successful appearance of Thendic-France
and bPlan at the
World of Amiga South-East 2002
last Saturday, some new Pegasos-related developments became known. The first four Pegasos-bundles
have been determined:
- The unusual "VideoMicrowave" is a remodeled steel microwave with an LCD display
as the door and a Pegasos board on the inside. You'll find information at
http://www.videomicrowave.net.
- The "Development Suite" is a developer package for
the Pegasos, Eclipsis, and Pegasos server stack.
- The "Pega-shush" is a home-server for the long-endurance business of integrating with
other entertainment electronics. The communications occur over a 802.11b network card.
- The "Games Package" is an offer
especially for friends of good game value. More details will be announced at
http://www.pegasosppc.com.
On the 16th of November Thendic-France will spend some time in Poland at the Amiga Show 2002,
and they are going to bring a bunch of Pegasos equipment to test on the basis of a new ISO installation [new MorphOS version - dm].
This will be the first showing of the Pegasos Wireless Camera with the display software to be seen on an iPAQ (this is just a temporary solution
until the Eclipsis prototype is ready).

Mary Rose Becker, group marketing manager for Mobile Devices at Microsoft
