AltairBASIC source code by Bill Gates
Under the mentioned URL one can find a very interesting analysis of
the AltairBASIC once programmed by Bill Gates. The British computer
scientist Reuben Harris disassembled and elaborately described it on
his website. There also is an AltairBASIC simulation basing on Java applets.

Kult is coming home - News at "com!online" 08/2001
The current issue 08/2001 of the German print magazine com!online mentions
the Amiga in the news on page #20 reading that the Amiga boss Bill McEwen announced
the cult-brand soon to come back. The new One PPC 1200 would be under development
specially for this purpose. If this computer will attract enough customers the
company would found new agencies, yet.
The following interesting wording was used for the Amiga:
"In the long run this box cannot be killed", and, "....for the scuffproofed
veteran...".

AROS News
As already reported
there were hardware problems with the server hosting the AROS website.
Some good and bad news about that: the good news is, that
the hardware will be replaced, the bad news is, that the machine will be
connected to a new network and thus the page temporary might not be
available, again, due to DNS conversion.
Here the original message with more details:
As you might have noticed, we had a lot of hardware failures
in the last months. Now there are good and bad news. The good
one is that the hardware will be replaced. The bad one is that
the machine is moved to a different network and this means that
we'll have DNS hell all over again ! The "real" name of the
machine on which AROS is hosted is "sebigbos.hepe.com". This
name should work when aros.org doesn't. So when CVS doesn't like
you anymore, check AROS/scripts/updatecvspath to fix the host name
until I have fixed the DNS server (usually takes only several
weeks...hrm :-). The mailing list runs on lists.hepe.com.
The only thing which will not be reachable for the time
being is the web and the ftp site.
Sorry for any inconvenience.

We think that our web-designer FoX did a very good job, again, as he previously did
with the product pages, and so we would be happy, if you would drop by.
The Repulse sound card still is available from our online shop and the online shop
now is fully integrated to the web-offer. Suggestions are welcome, contact

Game: New Schlachtfeld pictures
In spite of the turbulences around the Amiga-Society of course development of
the Game Schlachtfeld is being continued.
Edgar Leiding rendered some units for the game's board, again. Thus now there are
nine unit previews available - there will be some changes, of course. There will
be a survey regarding the camouflage: the question is, if the enemies should use
different colours (red, blue, ...) or should differ by different textures and/or
tactical field signs. You can also post your opinion about that in the forum of
the Schlachtfeld website.
