New Multi-Functional Chip
An interesting multi-functional chip was presented by people out of the
Commodore/Amiga area at the CES. The company Embedded Wireless Devices (EWD)
offers with the "Valhalla E8000" a chip that is capable of transferring several
wireless communications protocols like Bluetooth, 802.11 (wireless LAN) or Home RF
simultaneous. Panasonic will apply the chip in future products.

Ultra Violent Worlds released
Some time ago Crystal Interactive
has announced to offer Amiga games on dual format CD-ROMs, that would contain a
version for another computer system along with the version for the Amiga. Now, with
Ultra Violent Worlds the first game of this kind has been released for the Amiga
and IBM PC compatibles.
Ultra Violent Worlds is a 2D-Shooter with vertical parallax scrolling on three
levels, background animations in arcade quality, impressive explosions and
atmospheric sound FX inclusive a matching soundtrack. Next to the 1 player mode
there's the possibility to play with two people on one split screen at the same time.
The game was developed by the Australian company Vorlan Software. The
Amiga version was already released in 1998 and contained several bugs at that
time. These were fixed in this re-release.
The Amiga version runs on any Amiga with AGA, 2MB Chip-RAM and 2MB Fast-RAM.
The PC version runs on Windows 95/98 with 8MB of free RAM.

AmigaOS 3.9 Wallpapers (Background Images)
Hello Amigans, as there's the huge amount of 4 new background images on the
AmigaOS 3.9 CD since AmigaOS3.5 I have decided to do some myself. The first
archive is already available on Aminet under pix/back/os39wallp.lha (1024x800
24Bit). A 800x600 version was just transferred onto Aminet. The 800x600 version
is named OS39w800.lha
Both archives are freeware and I allow Haage&Partner to use these.

CDTVTools v1.0 Published
CDTVTools v1.0 has been released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
This package is a collection of programs using the CDTV base library
to give also normal Amiga users the CTDTV feeling. All of the included
programs are commodities which can be controlled via Exchange. So now
everybody can e.g. start the original CDTV screen blanker, CD player or
preferences program.
The tools are basing on the CDTV basie library "playerprefs" by Commodore
which is implemented in the CDTV's ROM. Since I discovered documentations on
this library on the Developer CD v1.2, I was able to develop these tools within
two days. Of course these tools are freeware.

THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES - Release 1.0.1
In release 1.0.1. of the KICKSTART ARCHIVES beside of some smaller changes in particular
the PDF files of the patent history have been re-converted and can be read trouble-free
with Apdf v2.2, now too.
THE KICKSTART ARCHIVES due to quality problems in the beginning will be written on
blanks of the type TDK CD-R74CMEC and shipped in a bubble wrapped envelope.
Since all of the specimen copies are out, we can now care for the orders very fast.
Thomas Unger (Kickstart@nexgo.de) is always
all ears for hints on interesting websites still missing on the CD-R. If these match
the concept of the KICKSTART ARCHIVES, he will contact the owners.

The Quantum Leap: StormC 4
The latest version of the successful development system actually represents a
quantum leap: network capability, shared make, CVS, modified GCC compiler for
the Amiga hunk format, global full-text search, extended editor, debugging
of tasks and shared libraries, and the new StormDOC.
But the most important feature of this new development system is the step
it takes towards the new AmigaOS. Though still everything runs on the Classic Amiga
and will be published like that, but everything was developed with easy portability
in mind. Last but not least this was the reason for a modified version of the
GCC used as compiler.
