AmigAIM 0.9396 beta
On October 15th, 2000 Richard H. Poser has released the beta version 0.9396 of AmigAIM. This program makes it possible to use the AOL-Instant-Messenger-system "AIM". Compared to the previous version the following has changed:
  • I think I isolated the problems with the Password being saved improperly, Capitalization and Spacing in ScreenName used for signon should no longer matter - I found that an Earlier built in data conversion was attempting a conversion anyway if spaces were used in the ScreenName in the Signon. I call the problem, the "amazingly growing password"
  • I also now restrict the length of the ScreenName and PassWord entry blocks to a maximum of 16 characters (Longest AIM will allow anyway. Not sure why I hadn't done this already)

AROS


AROS: Development Status
On oktober 11th, 2000 AROS has released a status report about the current status of this Open Source project. The changes concern mainly the AROS version for x86 computers.

Cleaning-up of the AROS source tree by Bernardo Innocenti, simple hardfile support of FFS formatted floppy disks (ADF) by Georg Steger, and better mouse support for AROS native/x86 by Tobias Seiler (mouse buttons work now). Georg threw in some additional code to change the position of the mouse pointer on the screen, and now you can move the window around. Since VGA.HIDD doesn't support the XOR drawing mode, yet there is still some graphics garbage when you move the window, but that should be fixed, soon.

StarOffice-Sourcecode Released
Sun has released the source code of StarOffice as Open Source on October 13th, 2000. This is the pre-release of StarOffice 6.0. The further development of the package has been handed over to the OpenOffice-Project.

The source code is 400 MByte in size, and is available for download at the OpenOffice website for download. It contains 35,000 files which count all together some 9 million lines of C++ code. A Pentium III computer with 256 MB RAM and Linux would need some 20 hours to compile the package. The space required on the harddrive will grow up to 2 GByte while doing this. Currently supported are Windows, Linux, and Solaris. A version for Mac OsX, which is said to be still in an earlier stade, should follow.

Sun themself will still participate in developing the Office package in the future through their development department in Hamburg, and release official StarOffice versions basing on OpenOffice. Those will also contain components which Sun has acquired from thrid party companies and thus are not part of the OpenOffice package. These components include the spell checker, the thesaurus and the database Adabas D.

News about SView-Ports
SuperView is a well known graphics converting and viewing tool well knwon of the Amiga. The author Andreas Kleinert is working on porting SView to other systems, and publishes a status report:

The GUI preview of the planned WinSView tool kit still is at alpha state while subject of intensive development. Hence it still is not available, but by this you will get some initial impression on what it is about.

Development takes place on two levels:
  • 1. The underlying C++ class library for image handling (loading, saving)
  • 2. The program surface (GUI) in form of a MFC 4.1-based design

Both originally were developed using Watcom C/C++ - for the class library part and for testing it we use the Watcom C/C++ V11 ability to develop 32 bit software for the Win9x/NT character mode (DOS box), and for the GUI part BlueSky's Visual Programmer is utilized.

But the design of the C++ classes is completely platform independent (e.g. regarding endianess) and suitable to be ported for a wide range of operating systems, e.g. certain Linux derives, BeOS or QNX. Additionally, no compiler specific C++ specialities are used ("baseline C++") and utilization from a clean C program is no problem.
More infos can be found at the title link.

Elbox: SHARK ATTACK
Detailed information from Elbox about their new PowerPC processor boards for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000. Announced are PPC G3/G4 boards named SHARK with various processors which can be fitted into the MEDIATOR PCI A1200 and MEDIATOR PCI A3/4000 bus boards:

Date    Thu, 12 Oct 2000 23:59:45 +0200
From    ELBOX press@elbox.com
Subject SHARK ATTACK

ELBOX COMPUTER
Krakow, 12 October 2000

ELBOX COMPUTER is proud to announce the breath-taking new product: the
most powerful PowerPC accelerator for Amiga 1200, 3000 and 4000.

The new accelerator  -  SharkPPC G3/G4 board  -  is a pure PowerPC-based
processor card to be fitted in MEDIATOR PCI A1200 and MEDIATOR PCI
A3/4000 busboards.

SharkPPC G3/G4 cards give Amiga Classic computers the top performance of
the latest PowerPC technology and the power of the long-awaited next
generation computer.

New PowerPC750 processors installed in SharkPPC G3/G4 cards offer the
following performance: 17.4SPECint95@400MHz, 11.7SPECfp95@400MHz,
928DMIPS@400MHz, 22.4SPECint95@550MHz, 13.3SPECfp95@550MHz,
1276DMIPS@550MHz.

The SharkPPC G3/G4 design combines speed of PowerPC G3/G4 processors
with extremely fast on-board memory interface controlling two SDRAM
modules, up to 512MB each. The peak memory transfer rate reaches
582MB/s. The accelerator card takes control over the PCI busboard with a
66MHz PCI 2.1 compliant interface fitted with a two-channel DMA
controller.

Communication between the existing Amiga turbo accelerator and the
SharkPPC G3/G4 card is executed with the shared SDRAM memory and the
interrupt controller in the MEDIATOR PCI hardware. The new accelerator
offers excellent bandwidth to any PCI card: 264 MB/s (132 MB/s in the
system with 33 MHz PCI cards). This powerful performance in PCI graphic
cards enables development of new superb games/graphic applications in
the native PPC code.

All the currently available Amiga software may be executed in the 68k
processor with full use of all the PCI cards installed in the computer.
It is possible because both accelerator cards installed in the computer
access all the PCI cards independently.

On top of that, in new applications to be developed both accelerators
may enhance performance of each other just the same way as it is done in
advanced multi-processor systems. This is due to the fact that
processors in both accelerators (68k/PPC and SharkPPC) work fully
simultaneously, which is for the first time available for Amiga users.

The first SharkPPC G3/G4 cards for developers will be available by end
of November, with production planned to commence in January 2001.

When new speed versions of PowerPC processors are available, the
SharkPPC line will be expanded with more models.

The suggested retail price (VAT excl.) for the SharkPPC G3/G4
accelerators are:

SharkPPC G3/G4 750@400................ EUR 390.00
(PowerPC750@400MHz and 256KB@400MHz L2 Cache)

SharkPPC G3/G4 750@550................ EUR 520.00
(PowerPC750@550MHz and 256KB@550MHz L2 Cache)

Pricing of versions with other processors will be announced separately.

NEW

Please look for our further releases:

1. Development progress of PCI Sound and TV card drivers for MEDIATOR
PCI 1200.

2. MEDIATOR development line (A4000 and A3000).

Herewith I would like to announce the opening of the "Amiga Shockwave-Player Support" page. On the support page, you will find a shockwave player for Amiga as well as a configuration for the player under AWeb and IBrowse, so you can finally see shockwave files through a browser.

Currently, the site is under construction, but more content will follow in the next days.

Heavy Domain Quarrel between VMC and Individual Computers!
Sure one ore the other usere already realized that the website of Harald Frank VMC is taken by foreign content. The reader is welcomed to a completely new pay system in the internet. As contact address jens@jschoenfeld.de is given.

Calling Harald Frank provided clearness. A heavy domain quarrel between Individual Computers and VMC is the cause. Until this is cleared up VMC will be accessible at http://www.usbshop.de.

At the title link you will find the following statement by VMC:

«10-11-2000Unbelievable, www.vmc.de was stolen!
As we had to realize this afternoon the owner of our domain was, pretending wrong facts, renamed to Mr. Schönfeld by the internet provider Schlund.

The internet pages viewed at the domain which was up to now our domain, have nothing to do with our company, and also every e-mail to the addresses of VMC are sent to Mr. Schönfeld directly, by-passing the mail secret.

Because of this we ask all of the customers to send their e-mails to our usbshop.de domain which means to you, just to change the name vmc.de into usbshop.de in the e-mail addresses for the next days.

According to information via telephone by Individual Computers Jens Schonefeld will use this campaign to force a better position of him to the company VMC Harald Frank regarding wholesale prices for VMC driver software.»
