Audio: Ogg Vorbis-Libraries for AmigaOS
On the
Da SixK Port Page
quick done ports of the libOgg and libVorbis were released.
The Ogg Vorbis format
is an open source audio format being an alternative for MP3.
The release of this developer kit is to encourage people to program a new
player or an Ogg Vorbis plugin for AmigaAmp.
The libVorbis directory contains examples for the use of the Ogg Vrobis libraries.
There also is "decode_example", a Ogg Vrobis to PCM decoder, contained.
There is also an example for how to code files to Ogg Vorbis format, but this does not
seem to work properly.
Ogg Vorbis developer site:
http://www.xiph.org/ogg/vorbis/.

Amiga: NDK V3.9 released
Since Friday the update of the native developer kit on AmigaOS 3.9
is available for download at the AmigaOS 3.9 area of amiga.com.
The NDK v3.9 bases on the NDK 3.5 released on "Amiga Developer CD 2.1" and
is in part identical with this.
The example programs are mostly the same, as well as the tutorials and tools.
C headers and assembler headers, linker libraries, autodocs, and ARexx interface
documentaions for the Workbench have been updated. New are the "release note files"
and the so called "sfd files".
amiga.lib stubs, clib prototyp header-, pragma header,
and .fd files are all generated by the sfd files.
As an example tool for processing sfd files "sfd" is included in the tools
directory - but, one can also use third-party tools like "fd2pragma" (by Dirk Stöcker).
Note: sfd files of this release have been "sanified", meaning protected and internal
data are left out.
C header files have been cleared and their syntax were verified again. They now compile
problemless with SAS/C and GCC, even if all compiler warnings are enabled.
This release contains no specific GGC header files, but this might change in future
updates.
As of this writing, the specific requirements for GCC on the
native 68k and on the PowerPC platforms are still somewhat
uncertain. To the best of our knowledge, the compiler specific
header files would have covered the ROM interface, that is, the
pragma header files only. As the "sfd" files are provided with this
distribution, you should be able to rebuild your platform specific
header files yourself, or obtain a set from your compiler vendor.
This NDK update also represents a milestone regarding the assembler
header files. With this release these are no longer guaranteed to by
synchron to their counterparts in C.
Questions, bugreports, and wishes regarding the NDK 3.9 should be send directly
to that person, who created this updated: Olaf Barthel.
Thanks to all who contributed to this update, including
Martin Blom, Don Cox, James Jacobs, Gunther
Nikl, Alastair M. Robinson, Matt Sealey, Steven Solie, Martin
Steigerwald, Dirk Stöcker, Neil William, and others!

The German disk and online magazine "Starmag" was stopped on 5. January 2002.
The website is reading the following note:
So, the magazine is offline now. If the "Starmag" would be revived some day
depends on the Amiga market getting well or not. But at the moment this is not
to be assumed :-(

Amiga-Emulator: Amithlon explained by Bernie Meyer
In August 2001 Bernd Meyer has visited the Amiga User Group in
Australia and performed the third official presentation of the
Amiga emulator "Amithlon" there (the first one was done in St. Louis (Bill McEwen), the
second one with MAUG). He described the basics of the linux mini kernel and how AmigaOS was put on top.
Tony Mulvihill of the "Amiga User Group of Melbourne" has recorded this presentation with
his video8 camera. Craig Hutchinson then has digitized the video and splitted it into
18 MPEG files, which are available from Aminet under
/pix/mpg/Amithlon#?.mpg.

PCTip: new Amiga computers - a myth on the way to its comeback?
Christian Bütikofer wrote in his (German) article extensively about the Amiga scene.
»They still exist, the Amiga users. And soon they could start to become
some more again. If all goes as planned, the Amiga, next to Atari THE cult home
computer of the 80's and 90's, will celebrate a resurrection in the new year!«

XAD-System Version 11
After a long time again a new release of archive extractor system XAD.
This system supports 93 filearchive, diskarchive and filesystem formats
nowadays (LZX, LhA, DMS, CAB, Zip, Rar, Ace, Arj, Wrapster, HA, ADF,
...). The most important new formats may be StuffIt, MacBinary, BinHex,
C64 filesystems and the SmartFileSystem. Thanks a lot to my three most active
supporters. XAD is still (relatively cheap) shareware. And there is
still a special price for OS 3.9 users wanting to update.
