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).

Elbox Statement on MEDIATOR PCI Rumours
Date: Mon, 04 Sep 2000 06:04:39 +0200
From: ELBOX press@elbox.com
Organization: ELBOX COMPUTER
Subject: Elbox dispels rumours on MEDIATOR PCI
ELBOX COMPUTER
04 September 2000
The breakthrough product developed by us: the MEDIATOR PCI,
has caused many changes in the Amiga world. Changes for better,
one has to admit.
People who cannot approach this excellent product with honour
and respect due to its design, spread rumours, which give false
information to Amiga users.
In order to make this situation clear and show our respect to
all those dedicated users of Amiga computers, we feel obliged
to clarify the information.
Below you find our answers to such rumours:
1. *** MEDIATOR PCI 1200 can only have access to 8 MB address
area, so the latest Voodoo III cards with 32-64 MB address
area could not be used. ***
Answer: Not true.
Elbox MEDIATOR PCI 1200 enables access to the entire 4 GB
PCI Memory Space and to all the required I/O space.
Execution of access to the full memory area in PCI (4 GB)
through the 8 MB Amiga memory window is done with MEDIATOR's
hardware on the basis of the MEDIATOR offset registers.
2. *** Designing MEDIATOR PCI 1200 in such a way that
it works with all the existing turbo cards for Amiga 1200
(i.e. within the 8 MB address window) will result
in modern graphics cards major crippling in the transfer rate
between the processor and graphics card. ***
Answer: Not true.
Data exchange between the processor and graphics cards
within the 8 MB address window does not affect transfer rate.
E.g.: Writing to a graphics card of 32 MB of data within
the 8 MB address window means execution of just 3 additional
writing operations for over 8,000,000 writing operations.
In practice, transmission over 8 MB of data to a PCI graphics
card is very rare, as majority of modern PCI graphics cards
memory is allocated for storing textures.
Current data exchange is thus executed within the one 8 MB
window, anyway.
3. *** PCI graphics cards themselves are now increasingly hard
to obtain and will be obsolete in a few months time. ***
Answer: Not true.
Many new graphic chipsets are and will be produced in both
the PCI standard and the AGP Intel standard.
This is clear, as PCI (Peripheral Component Interconnect)
is an industry standard independent of the processor platform
by definition. Graphic cards in this standard may work
equally well in PC, Mac or Amiga computers.
4. *** Elbox will produce a PCI/AGP busboard to be directly
connected to the expansion connector on the BlizzardPPC.
It will come equipped with 3xPCI slots, 1xAGP slot and a
socket for SDRAM. ***
Answer:
Who came up with this one?
Preparing such a busboard, connected directly to the
BlizzardPPC card in the place of the BVisionPPC card,
would require redesigning the BlizzardPPC card.
Replacing one PCI slot with an AGP slot in the busboard
for A1200 does not result in any major benefits.
Instead of SDRAM memory in the busboard, we will offer
a far better solution, to which MEDIATOR PCI 1200 is
totally ready, of which we will write more in one of our
coming announcements.
Best regards,
Mariusz Wloczysiak

AmiPak - New default Archive-Format for the AmigaOE
Patrick Roberts and Wayne Martin are working on a new filecompression standard for the new AmigaOE.
The new program will be called AmiPak (file-extension: .amp) and it will have many advantages compared to the ones used now.
This format will be availabel for other platforms, too. Additional there will be a GUI which can also handle formats like bzip,
gzip, tar, zip and lha. A betaversion will be available next month.
Please follow the titlelink for further information.

Andreas Kleinert: Completion to the MorphOS-Statement
Some authentic questions that reached me by email as reaction on the MorphOS-Statement (i summarized the answers):
- Q: Read today that you do not want to write datatypes for the MorphOS. It is a pity.
- A: Maybe I produce something different for MorphOS.
- Q: I hope that you do not have the intention to turn away from the amiga.
- A: I am still using my Amiga. At the moment.
- Q: You wrote that there are nearly no registrations for your datatypes at the moment.
I know why. [...] If there would be an easy way to register I really would like to do it and use the DT.
But for doing this I will never apply for a credit card or waste my time by clicking through english pages. [...]
The easiest way would be a money transfer.
- A: Money transfer is available since, I do not know when. It is explained in the documentation.
And about generall things
- Q: All together I want to praise you for your products and I hope you are developing them.
Versions for Windows (under development), Linux, maybe Amie (if it will be released some day) and maybe as a
PPC-plugin for AWeb & Co would be greate.
- A: I will not port anyone of my programs to Amie in the near future. Windows is in a early alpha-stage and
Linux is interesting too.
There won't be PPC-plugins [refer to akMPEG] but it is possible to integrate them in the actual version.
