Tool: Rainboot4 in development
Rainboot4 is currently in development.
In prior versions Rainboot was only a program to show stunning demos during the Amiga's boot process. But with Version 4 it made its step to become a complete multimedia authoring system, which means that it has now a programming script language, which allows the programmer to create applications in a very easy way.
The programmer
can use many of Rainboot4's functions which save him a lot of time. For example,
you do not have to care if your application runs on Picasso96, Cgfx, AGA or
ECS. That's Rainboot4's thing now! It does everything for you and it does it
system friendly. Here's a short overview what's currently possible:
- 100% system-friendly. Runs on all Amiga systems.
- Application can be displayed in window on Workbench or own screen.
- Transparent windows on Workbench (see screen shot).
- Transition effects.
- Functions to scroll graphics smoothly.
- Transparent Graphics.
- compiler and linker for creating executables.
- Easy monitoring of user input (keyboard, mouse).
- DOS functions.
- String functions.
- Math funktions.
- Variables and arrays.
- Applications run independent of the current screenmode.
- Compatible with older Rainboot versions.
- Different fonts can be used.
- Supports anim brushes.
- Supports sound modules and samples.
- Conditions (if, else, elseif, endif).
- Loops (for, next, while, wend).
- System functions.
- Can still be used during booting.
- MorphOS and AmigaOS4 versions planned.
- and much more.
The interesting thing is, that Rainboot4 does all the work for you. For
example, the following script opens a window with the file mypic.iff as the
background and writes "Hello World" centered in this window:
%BGPIC1=mypic.iff
%CODE
%Locate(CENTER,CENTER)
%PrintStr("Hello World")
%WaitLeftMouse
%Quit
This simplicity is used by all functions of Rainboot4. And it's fully system
friendly. All operations are executed through the operating system or the
RTG system respectively.
It was never easier to code intuitive programs with such little effort but
maximum effectivity and user friendlyness.
Screen shots of Rainboot4 are available on the Airsoft Softwair home page:
www.airsoftsoftwair.de.

AROS: aros.org accessible again (update)
The AROS web site is again accessible through
www.aros.org.
aros.org is accessible again because Peter Bortas and Aaron Digulla have
managed to transfer the rights to aros.org from Bortas to Digulla. Here the
original text from the AROS-Announce mailing list:
"After only five years of struggling with Network Solutions,
Peter Bortas and I finally managed to have the domain transferred
from him to me. Now ain't that something! :-)
That also means that www.aros.org is working again and that
it won't be down again because the nameservers are now under
my control!"
Addendum 14th July 2002:
Added information and original text about transfer of domain rights.

Amiga Society: Little Book - a.o. Dragons Lair, Flight Simulator II
From the Amiga Society web site:
The mail has arrived. Connected with that a whole bunch of "new" old games,
which will bei entered into the Little Book immediately. Present are a.o. RVF
Honda, Super Hang on, Dragons Lair and, not to be forgotten, the famous Flight
Simulator II.
With that the weekend is saved. The first part of Ians update has also arrived
and will presumably be uploaded tomorrow. Well, how shall we continue - the way
it looks like, you're mostly interested in new hard and software.
Thus we are set a bit out of place. As a rule I prefer the classics....
This is originates from the fact that we are working nearly exclusively as a
pair on this thing, and obtaining old, partially dead computers
*screwsolderrun* is much less expensive than purchasing new stuff.
Though I will - if it becomes available - have an AmigaOne standing here,
an adequate broadness isn't feasible on a shoestring budget."
All in all, the following information has been added to the "Little Book of
Amiga Software":
13th July 2002
- Extended: Amiga games list
- Extended: Body Blows
- New Entry: Super Hang On
- New Entry: RVF Honda
- New Entry: Shadow of the Beast
- New Entry: TV Sports Football
- New Entry: Dragons Lair
- New Entry: Goldrunner II
- New Entry: Atomino
- New Entry: LOOPZ
- New Entry: Flight Simulator II
- New Entry: Super Tennis Champs
