WarpGIF-Datatype
The first GIF datatype for WarpOS is now freely available for all PPC-Amigas.
After datatypes for JPEG and PNG under WarpOS (done by Oliver Roberts and Andreas Kleinert)
this datatype now closes the gap for the widely spread GIF format.
According to Achim Stegemann this GIF datatype is speedwise around twice as fast as the original Gif-DT of the OS 3.5.
At the moment only OS 3.1 and 3.5 are supported. OS 3.0 follows later on.
For further information (and download) see titlelink.

AMI Sector One Updated
Bernd Gmeineder writes:
This time we have got permission from the companies "Talking Birds" (known for
football manager games) and "Polarware" (once specialised in adventure games) to
offer their Amiga game on our site for download. Some of the games of these
firms, like "Oo Topos (Adventure, already released in 1986 in the USA) and "Der
Trainer" (german football manager with very good reviews in "Amiga Joker" and
"Amiga Games") are now ready for download.
Further on other games, for example "Dungeon Krampfer", "Thromulus" and others,
have been added.
Besides these credits concerning around 200 more Amigagames were integrated in
the searchable database. The music section was updated with new soundtracks of
Amiga games like "Lethal XCess", and more.
Around 60 hires cover scans of classic Amiga games are finishing this update.
The URL for all this is: http://www.emucamp.com/amiga/.

VMC's Technical Library is Online
Harald Frank wrote:
Since today our hardware dictionnary is online at last, where every
in our products technical interested user or programmer may find everything what
is needed to write drivers for Linux, NetBSD or other operating systems which
exist for Amiga.
Should there be a lack of important information or you have some ideas and
suggestions concerning these sites, then please write an email to support@vmc.de
If you know a Linux or NetBSD programmer who is capable of porting drivers to
one of these systems or, even better, has already written successfully own
drivers, then inform him kindly about our new dictionnary pages with the request
for a port of the missing drivers. We'll give as much technical help as is possible
to everybody who wants to do this.
I think, with your support we'll be able to point all waiting users to new
drivers for Linux and NetBSD.
This leads you to the Technical
Library.

Spanish Version of amiga-news.de reworked
The spanish version of amiga-news.de will now be regularly updated, again.
The first collected experiences when doing the translation showed that the
first system chosen to do the work with was not the best suited to keep the messages
regularly up to date. So a new and more dynamic Website was developed.
This can be reached at the known URL:
http://www.amiga.es.org/amiganewsde.html.
For its use a browser with IFRAME-support is needed.
For the creating of this page help is looked for. Everybody with interest in
anticipating on this site can mail to Tomás J. Cantó.

AmigaNG Programs Overview Updated
The CD32 Alliance wrote:
And again the AmigaNG programs overview was updated (dated: 17.9.2000) and
contains now all programs that were released since the appearing of the
AmigaSDK.
Since the last update 3 programs were added, so that now 70 NG programs are
registered.
From now on the AmigaNG programs overview will be updated every sunday. I ask you
to consider this.
Urgently german owners of the AmigaSDK are wanted to write reviews about some of
the already released NG programs or to introduce NG programs.
Furthermore we search owners of the new d'AMIGA to introduce this also with a detailed
review.
To speed up the development of programs for the AmigaNG programmers are
wanted who can create a comprehensive workshop about the programming using the
new AmigaSDK.

Amiga Arena - E.N.D.! (Evil Never Dies)
It's more than sad that the few Amiga users still have to face pirate copies, fake keys
etc. taking away the fun! Every pirate copy does it's share in further developments being
cancelled! It's a nuisance that you have (are forced to) face this problem on the Amiga.
This doesn't really improve motivation! Who Cares? :-(

In cooperation with Christian Steiner, the registered version of Matrix Hunter is available
