Shared ZLib-Library for PPC
At the Aminet there now is a shared library for the popular ZLib compression (gzip)
running on 68k as well as under WarpOS! The archive can be downloaded from Aminet
under
util/libs/zlib-library.lha.
The library is freeware, source code and developer stuff for the StormC compiler are
included for interested people.
I would be pleased if the library were supported by Xarc programmers and others.
According to the PPC used speed can reach about 5 MB/s (unpacking) or 1 MB/s (!!, packing)
at packing rates up to 75% (text)!
The zlib.library also will be utilized in the new version of Digital Almanac III, cause
this will give executables about 30kB smaller than before.

GFX Lists Update
Thanks to the help of many Amiga users the lists with Amiga games and demos
supporting graphics boards could be enlarged with many entries. The layout
of this site was enhanced and designed more predictable, too.
Moreover there is a new list on the site (Amiga section) listing programs
supporting multiple CPU's (on installation). Since one often doesn't remember
which programs offer an optimized version e.g. for the 060 after the computer
was accelerated this list might be helpful.

Payback in Progress
In the current status report #18 Apex Designs announced that the new game
'Payback' will be in trade in about two weeks. At the same time a playable
demo version will be made available for download.
In an interview with the Amiga-Future the programmer James Daniels described
Payback as follows:
"The player takes the part of young driver on the run and tries to become a
big gangsters' boss. The game is completely non-linear. To finish a level
the player simply has to collect a certain amount of points. How to achieve
this is up to him-/herself.
You can act on the local Kingpins' advice, uncover secret missions or join a
gunfight. There are a lot of hidden surprises to discover, so one must play the
game several times to find all of the extras. The game was inspired by Grand Theft Auto,
but I invested much effort into the game to make sure it will lick GTA in all respects."

Heise: Met@box in the Deep Red
»Sometimes things come more worse than expected: Recently in September
last year the Met@box AG from Hildesheim, Germany, announced to incur a loss

manufacturer of set-top boxes notified a loss of about 19 Mio DM.

Descent 2 Port for Amiga
Some time ago I've started a Descent 2 port for the Amiga
(WarpUP and 68k version). Unfortunately I'm not able to
finish this port due to lack of time, cause among other things
I'm working on commercial games for the Amiga :-).
(And these are yet more important than porting an old game).
An interested programmer who would like to finish this port
may contact me at any time and receive the current source code.
Current stage:
- Crashes on leaving (and sometimes also on leaving a level,
I guess memory freed twice)
- Warp3D support comes miscoloured (but software renderer works)
- Network support doesn't work
- In case of the "Bobbing Movement" I'm not sure, if it looks like
it should do.
- Still a lot of debug output inside of the source
- Cockpit isn't displayed correctly
The code was compiled with StromC-gcc or gcc-WarpOS.

Heise: Forbidden to Despair ;-)
»Who wants to vent one's displeasure by the emoticon :-( risks a draconian punishment.
Wrongdoers have to write a thousand times: ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc.".
Albeit the punishment claimed already indicates the satiric character of this action –
reality beggars all presiflage. The Despair company
really has booked the trademark ":-(" – in dependence on the smiley ":-)"
pronounced as frowny – at the US patent office
in 1998. And the office in point of fact
granted this
application in May 2000.«

3ivx, Ready for Global Television!
The video compression format '3ivX' is now officially implemented in
MooVId and
SoftCinema.
At the request of a reader here a link to a
3ivX test-movies page.
Following the complete press release:
January 29, 2001- Happy Machines releases the second preview of their
next generation video compression technology called 3ivx. Small file
size and high quality video is one part of the 3ivx advantages, the
other one is the truly multi-platform nature. This is great for video
conferencing, video-on-demand, broadband content providing,
interactive television but also for UMTS (or G3 mobile phones)
implementations.
True mutli-platform support means that it is available for
Windows: Windows Media Player plug-in or QuickTime plug-in
MacOS: QuickTime plug-in
Linux (x86, PPC) & Solaris: XAnim
BeOS: Media Player plug-in
Amiga: WarpUP (MooVId for 68k & PPC) and PowerUP (SoftCinema)
The decoder is available on the site
right now. For the moment,
however, the encoder is reserved for 3ivx partners.
"Quality and multi-platform is one thing, but particularly important
for the movie studios is encryption, watermarking and Digital Rights
Management" said Jan Devos, President of Happy Machines. "That's why
we made sure our 3ivx codec is standard compatible with most of the
encryption and DRM systems available"
"I was amazed by the quality" explained Mr. Alan Redhouse, Chairman
of the Eyetech Group.
"That's why we are bundling this codec with our
next generation AmigaOne hardware".
The current release is 5 to 20% better than the most efficient codecs
out there. In comparison with MPEG-2 that means a ratio of 1:12 while
near DVD quality. This indicates that the 3ivx video codec, while
still in development, is already one of the best.
There is a lot of interest in such a high performance codec. The 3
million page views on the 3ivx.com web-site after the first preview
release in December show that very well.
Happy Machines also referred to as the Think-Tank is a small Belgian
company representing an extremely creative team and a large
international network of inventors, software and hardware developers,
designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite
communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has
contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member
of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on
project development and related intellectual properties.

More Details on zAMilo
As already reported, "AmigaDE zAMilo V0.098" is running as http server on a test server at Amiga, Inc.. Christoph Dietz has asked Gary Peake and Götz Ohnesorge for more information about the http server 'zaMilo' utilized on test.amigadev.net:
Amiga-News: Hello Gary and Götz! It came to our attention that the webserver on test.amigadev.net is running an zAMilo. The testpage tells that the server is installed since november. Did you install it?
Gary Peake: Yes, we installed it here at Amiga Inc. on our Linux based servers running the Amiga SDK.
Amiga-News: On which OS is the system running? AmigaDE isn't running native, is it?
Gary Peake: We run Red Hat on the servers. AmigaSDK is being hosted there. zAMilo runs on AmigaSDK.
Amiga-News: What does "zAMilo" stand for? Is it a mixed up akronym for "Mozila" (with an "l" missing.)
Götz Ohnesorge: "zAMilo" is a http server written by Patrick Roberts from Atrix. You can find more about it in the programs readme:
"zAMilo is a mini-http server. The compiled lite binary is less that 4k and is very fast. It was inspired by zilo by Stefan Hellkvist which was created by Ericsson to run on their mobile phones.
zAMilo serves simple http GET requests, which is enough for most sites. It also has the ability to serve the stdout of any other tool as an html document. In this way it emulates rsh via http."
Amiga-News: The server was down on friday. Did it crash because of the attention it got? Or was it only deactivated for maintenence?
Gary Peake: We are doing a lot of changing to our servers at the moment and had to take it down for a bit. It will be up and down for the next week or two as we shift some things around.
Amiga-News: Thank you Gary and Götz for this informations!
