Horrible Expense to flash PC-BIOS chip
Stefan Robl wrote:
You are wrong if you believe that a PC-BIOS-Update is that easy in any case like performing a flash update on a CyberStormPPC.
I documented the strangest update of all times at my homepage. :)

"Scene Archives #1-8" available
For some time APC&TCP offers the CD-ROMs "Best of Scene Archives" and "Scene Archives #9".
For a few days "Scene Archives #10" too. Some users asked us if the numbers 1 to 8 are also available, because
it is a risk to mail 120 DM to australia. But these is not possible because we do not think that the
slaerates would be high enough to cover our costs.
But APC&TCP we tried to find a solution. We negotiated with the australian author and decided to make some kind
of collecting-order.
Further detailed information are available on our newspage.

Publisher for Drake
The team of the 3D-game Drake, which orientates oneselves on
Microprose's Pirates! seems to have found a publisher. It isn't named
for now, because the contract isn't signed yet.
By now, the 3D-engine gets many improvements. More physical laws were added for more realism.
The Drake-Team consists of Oliver Gantert, Andreas Hippauf and Tobias Lutz.
The homepage (link) contains some information and screenshots of the game.

REBOL/Express
REBOL/Express is a system which simplifies information exchange between salesmen and their customers,
partners, resellers and employees. It consists of the products REBOLink, REBOL/Service and REBOL/Author
and replaces customary communications like eMail and WWW by a direct communication-channel, which works
in both directions.
This offers the possibility to inform customers directly about new products or updates.
All possibilities are described in the productinformation, available at the title link.

Comparison between AmigaOE and Microsoft's .net
In his article Jonathan Clark compares the AmigaOE-System by Amiga/Tao with the .net-system by Microsoft.
Both systems use a virtual processor but have huge differences, too. AmigaOE always uses the
little Endian-display, Microsoft offers depending on the processor little or big Endian.
In addition, .net contains more type-information in its VP-code. AmigaOE offers a complete OS with Java
which can run independently while .net will strongly depend on the WIN32-API and makes operation difficult
on Unix-systems.
This and other points are described better in Clark's article.

Amiga in Doctor Dobb's Journal
The september release of Doctor Dobb's Journal contains an article about Amiga titled
"Paradigms Lost and Regained". The article reports quite positive about the original Amiga and
partly about AmigaOS. Some lines later the article also positively talks about the new Amiga and the new Os

It also brings out the fact that the new OS is really something NEW with the words:
"this is not the AmigaOS that Amigausers know and love".

Bugfix: Amiga SDK with RedHat 6.2
Due to problems with the Ncurses packet Amiga SDK does not run on an unmodified RedHat 6.2 installation.
Therefore a Ncurses fix done by Daniel Robbins is ready for download.
Simply unpack the archive amiga-ncurses.tar.gz
under Linux using the following command:
cd /usr
tar xzvf amiga-ncurses.tar.gz
Now type in "export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/amiga/lib" and then the Amiga SDK can be started with
"intent_shell".

Voyager 3.3 Alpha as well as Spurious Offers
Oliver Wagner released an alpha version of Voyager V3.3 on August, 4th 2000. This version is presentating the new
layout engine. This alpha version is not ought to replace a running browser, due to essential features are still
missing such like FORMs (objects are created but have no function yet), FRAMES, IFRAMES and JavaScript
(code is present but not active yet). Sending in bug reports, missing features or similar therefore is not
necessary.
At shareit.com spurious entries of Vapor programs at immense prices were made. These entries were not made by
Vapor and hence should be left ignored.
Vapor belongs to the MorphOS alpha testers and there might be a V-port, but at the time beeing there are no
fixed plans of doing one. Concentration points on finishing the new version for AmigaOS.
Download: v_33_alpha24.lzx (204K)
