Desktop Replacement for Windows
The program "WorkbenchOnWin" (only 364kB) makes it easy to give every
Windows-Desktop the look'n feel of an Amiga-Workbench. The topical version is an
early alpha version and no emulation of an Amiga.
Download: wow.zip
I am very keen on the future versions. With some knowledge of the Windows
registry it is possible to completely replace the Windows-Desktop.

GFX Lists Reworked
The lists of games and demos supporting GFX cards has been largely reworked. The
games entries are now subdivide to categories of name, genre, and - if possible -
size, download link, and URL. The demo entries now give also information whether
the demo runs on 68k, PPC or on both CPU's. Additionally the list has grown
strong because of the help of the Amiga users. Richard would be happy, if
still more entries would be contributed to the CPU list.

First, greetings to the community!
This way, I'm looking for 2-3 experienced C/C++
programmers on Amiga for our team. We want to produce a realtime strategy game, for now
exclusively for Amiga (PPC and AmigaDE).
Conversions for Playstation 2, Dreamcast and Nintendo are planned
(depending on getting a licence of the respective producer).
Interested people may apply here
via email.
A small description of existing programming experience would be advantageous.

Other Companies copy Amiga's and TAO's Ideas
Hendrik Mikael Kristensen
worte on ANN that on the pages of the Danish news service
SOL.dk his attention was called to the fact
that possibly other companies are desirous of copying Amiga's idea of the
"write once - run everywhere" philosophy, thus pushing Amiga out of the market even before
they get in there.
The article is talking about QualComm trying
to create a standard operating system called BREW[TM], Binary Runtime Environment,
to be used on cell phones. If you take away Wireless you (almost) have what
TAO Group is doing.
Due to QualComm's particulars this works with every device equipped with their DMA chipsets.
BREW[TM] sits between the chip system software and the application allowing programmers
to let their applications access the cell phone's functionality without having the
chip system source code or a relationship with a handset manufacturer.
QualComm want to electronically certify all BREW[TM] programs before they can run on
consumer products and ask a fee from every of those spreading such programs (cell phone
companies). Hendrik thinks this might be indicating how important this technology
will be for the future.
Read the complete article under the title link.
