Pictris Released
APC&TCP today has released a new game. Pictris is available directly from APC&TCP from now, and
after a few days from the Amiga specialized trade, of course. Pictris is kind of a puzzle game. The
player's job is to mark the right boxes on the screen by mathematical hints, in order to uncover
the picture as fast as possible. The faster this has been done, the higher the score gets. All in all
there are 240 different puzzles with different skill levels availabel.
A demo version of the game is available on the home page, and of course also at Aminet. A few days ago
a subsequent demo version of SeaSide was released, which was available since November 1999.

New Executive Update
August 8, 2000 - Greetings to the Global Amiga Family
It has been a hectic several weeks, and we are moving even faster this
week.
There will be some new announcements in the next few days that should be
of interest to everyone as we work hard to expand the members of the Amiga
family.
I would like to say a big "Thank You" to everyone who attended the show in
Sacramento California, and another special thank you to John and Jan
Zacharius and the rest of the SACC team. They did a great job.
I am writing this letter as a quick answer to some questions that I have
received in the last 48 hours.
As mentioned before, if you hear something that you need to confirm,
ask. Every member of the Amiga team is more than willing to answer
questions. It gets somewhat tiresome to constantly get rumors sent to us
after they have been out there for several days or even weeks.
Here are answers to two rumors that need to be addressed immediately:
- Once you sell the remaining A1200's you are pulling out of Germany.
Answer: No. We have no plans of pulling out of Germany. In fact we are
looking at ways to increase our presence in all of Europe, Asia, South
America, and even here in North America. There are several ideas on the
table, and even some names have been attached to the ideas. There will
more information available when we are ready to share the plans.
We are certainly not going to disregard the business in these markets. We
are a growing company and very excited about the future.
- You are going to begin selling new A4000's and there are already 1,000
of these new A4000's being built.
Answer: Who came up with this one? There is no manufacturing of any
Amiga except the new desktop, notebook, and handheld in the works.
I have asked before, and now I will ask again, please stop these
rumors. If you hear one, contact any member of the Amiga Team directly,
and we will answer you.
Thank you for your continued support.
Kindest regards,
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team (ps)

Software updates by Andreas Kleinert
In recent days, PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX has released the following updates:
- akJFIF version 44.82
- akPNG version 44.82
- akTIFF version 44.82
- SViewIV version 9.10
- SV-PPC-Module version 24.8
Aside from the usual code maintenance, small and large speed improvements could be
achieved everywhere, with differing results on low- and high-end systems (depending
on CPU power and memory bandwidth). All programs can be downloaded from the website
at the title link.
We do not supply benchmarks, because we think they are worthless unless everybody could
verify them on his own (e.g. by using an open source benchmark program, freely available
graphics files and a clear system description).

Catweasel ISA Available Again
Today, the first Catweasel ISA boards from the current production run have been shipped.
Despite major supply problems we were able to keep delays within limits, the deadline
was exceeded by less than a week. The stongly increased demand can now be fully
satisfied. To keep the board producable in the year 2000, the "Y2K edition" recieved
some cosmetic canges. The board looks different, but is fully software compatible with
the 1996 model. It now fits better, and a protection against floppy cables attached in
the wrong pin order has been added.
With the Catweasel for the PC you can read Amiga disks as well as all other formats
the Catweasel knows, and uses them in emulators. For exsample, the usual formats for all
Amiga and C64 emulators are supported. Catweasel works with the usual PC disk drives, so
you don't need "original" drives like the 1541 from the Commodore C64.

Ref: News 15.07.2000 - New Virus Discovered
On 07/15/2000 we published a message by Andre Gobet.
This message was wrong. The authors of the
concerned CD Techno DataBase 00 put our
attention on that.
The problems were not caused by a virus but by the replacement of some systemfiles during the automatic
installation process. These lead to some incompatibility with the installed OS 3.5. If Andre had read the
manual he had known that there was the posibility to make an installation by hand.
We and Andre Gobet are very sorry for this failure
