H&P increases personnel
In October of the past year, we already hired a new programmer, namely
Markus Poellmann. He mainly cares for StormC, and also works on
AmigaWriter. At the beginning of 2000, a new co-worker was found, Ute
Gottschalk, who takes care of accounting and datatyping. Stefan Robel has
just finished a practical period for his computer studies, in which he
created a new and portable version of StormRexx. At the beginning of
September, Alexander Bramm and Simon Neumann brought two new co-workers.
Their main concern is support, and managing of new projects.
Further co-workers wanted.
For proof-reading of our website texts, press releases and manuals we are
looking for an additional English native speaker. A good knowledge of
English grammer etc. is essential.

The German Computerzeitung issue 36 from 09-07-00 is carrying the subject of software patents:
They are titeling (small): "Software Inventions"
(big) "Politicians are supporting Linux with the fight against patents"
This all is to find big and not ot overlook pivotal on the front page citing Joerg Tauss, MdB (member of the
Bundestag) contra, and Dai Rees pro SWPAT.
Additional a big picture along with the subtitle "The [EPA] in Munich denys any private financial interest [...]"
At the left another contra SWPAT
comment (German) of
an editor, and at the lower right the Intel/Broadcom quarrel is suggested. So, about half of the front page

AmigaMPEG-Player 1.02 and writepixel 1.05
For all SDK users:
AmigaMPEGPlayer is now up to 25% faster (!) than the initial version, and has got a file-requestor in addition, too.
writepixel was completely overworked, is now definite faster than previeous versions, and has got a scalable window.
Furthermore the colour fade now changes corresponding to mouse position and time.

clickBOOM: Nightlong
Nightlong has been enabled by Trecision, which means the betatests have passed positively. Now only the CDs, and
packings are to be produced, and then the game will be available soon.
Nightlong is a graphically costly point-and-click game which at first was published by Team 17 for the PC,
and became a big success. The background of the game is a conspiracy anno 2099 which the player has
to clear up.

Test Report of Matrox G405 at hartware.net
hartware.net has examined the new graphics board Matrox Millennium G450. This one was not made for the
home user but for business user and customers of companies. Nevertheless we have had a look at the
Millenium G450 with regard to the use for games. Maybe this card is a reasonably alternative for the
private user? See titlelink for full article (German).
At amiga.org we have found a link to a review of AnandTech as well:
Matrox Millennium G450. And this one is
in English. -)

SView C++ Image Loaders
SView class-library was ported to Linux x86 (GCC) successfully. Originally it based on Watcom/C++ 11 for
Win32 (Win9x, WinNT, Win2000) and now can be compiled from the same source-tree for each Linux-platform,
as well. This also would make possible porting back to ADE 68k, PPC or MorphOS, as well as porting
to Linux 68k or AInc's VP.
In future it will be possible to give licences for binary or sourcecodes. Do not hesitate to inquire
in time.

AmiDogs Movieplayer AMP2
Mathias "AmiDog" Roslund has opened an AMP2-site where you can find the current updates for the
Amiga-Movie-Player AMP 2. Version V2pre1 of the 5th of September 2000 is the most recent one. But this version probably
has still a couple of bugs and therefore should be tested with caution, as the author says. Please, read
information on the AMP2-site carefully.

PlayGUI Version 3.0 Available
PlayGUI, developed by Richard Kapp, is an AddOn for both, the modulde-player HippoPlayer and the
sample-player Play16. PlayGUI offers a new user interface for these programms, which trouble-free can be
displaced by other graphics (so called skins).
PlayGUI v3.0 from now is available at the titlelink. New with this version among other things are MPEG and
MIDI support, help texts for all settings, graphics inside the settings windows, and many more. By the way,
of course there are also some new skins for PlayGUI and PLone (PlayGUI AddOn).
