Heise: LinuxTag: Corel releases CorelDraw for Linux
"Corel, Canadian graphics software specialist turned Linux distributor, is sometimes
good for a surprise other than bad sales reports. On the LinuxTag, Corel already
presented its Linux graphics suite CorelDraw 9 (booth 5.1.1.9). While it was previously
said the package will probably be released in autumn, Friday night the Corel HQ in
Canada gave it's OK: CorelDraw 9 for Linux is now released, and will hit the shelves
in two to three weeks, however not for free. The image processor Photo-Paint, on
the other hand, is already free for download."

Chrystal Interactive Software News - Part 1
Part 2
Michael Carrillo has visited C.I.S. and wrote a summary report with added screenshots,
with news e.g. on the adventure games "Gilbert Goodmate" and "Mushroom of Phangoria".
Thomas Lorenz: It should be noted that Crystal
will only port Gilbert Goodmate to the Amiga if their second project "Dark Millenia" is sold
at least 1000 times (or at least 1000 people state their interest, e.g. by
e-mail). It is also mentioned that a
"desaster" as with FusionPPC can hopefully be avoided!
The current demo on Michael's website "Amiga
Rediscovery" is "Hired Guns".

New ppclibemu
ppclibemu is an emulation of the ppc.library and the PowerUP kernel under WarpOS.
An own ELF LoadSeg patch is included, and allows many (some?) PowerUP-applications
to run just like in the original environment. Those apps that run show no feelable
speed penalty. Some are even faster than with the original kernel.
New in v0.8: PortLists, PPCFindTask, PPCFindTaskObject, PPCSignalTask, PPCDeleteTask.
Please try which of the two runs better with installed PowerUP software, A or B?
Download:
ppclibemuA.lzx -
ppclibemu A v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)
ppclibemuB.lzx -
ppclibemu B v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)

Update of the homepage, and new domain names
Not only the design has changed - our domain has changed, too. The old domain name
www.amigadev.de will be transferred to Amiga Inc. in the next couple of days.
We decided to take this step because the domains amigadev.COM and amigadev.NET were
already owned by Amiga Inc., and we therefore confused some users, who of course thought
that amigadev.DE would be the German counterpart to amigadev.COM. To put an end to this
confusion, and to give Amiga Inc. the opportunity to create German pages under amigadev.DE,
some days ago we ordered our web hoster to transfer the domain name to Amiga Inc.
Our new domain names are now:
www.highantdev.de and
www.highantdev.com.
The .DE domain will lead you to the German pages, and the .COM domain to the English ones.
Since the English pages are not yet finished, both domains lead you to German pages for the
time being.

Insider Section at individual Computers
For programmers and such who wants to bekome one there now is a Insider Section on the support site.
Reference texts needed for programming close at the hardware of individual Computers' products are made
available there. Everybody who wants to write drivers for an alternative operatingsystem, such as Linux
or NetBSD, will finde all necessary information there. Also, native PowerPC drivers are conceivable -
I would like to answer your queries on the development, cause I know that hardware programming is not
pure delight.

Innovative brings Digita(TM)-Power to the AMIGA!
Innovative has developed a driver for digital cameras, which are running with
the Digital(TM) Operating Environment. "Digita(TM)-enabled" digital cameras
show a much higher performance than everything else on the market, this times. Not only
that Digita(TM) is used with cameras from several manufacturers, but also these cameras
are running with Coldfire- or PowerPC CPUs and make it possible to run scripts, programms,
and games (incl. MAME!!) - what makes theses cameras particular interesting. The
producer of Digita(TM), Flashpoint(TM),
has set his target to make Digita(TM) the standard for digital cameras and therefor bets on
a standardised communikation protokoll between computer and camera. With the VHI driver now
available even Amiga users get access to these faszinating cameras, at last, and can download taken
pictures in a comfortable way and edit them. The following "Digita(TM)-enabled" digital cameras
are currently available:
- Kodak DC 220, DC 260, DC 265, DC 290
- Minolta Dimage 1500 EX, Dimage 1500 3D
- HP PhotoSmart C500, C619, C912
- Pentax EI-200, EI-2000
P.S.: Digita(TM) has in this case nothing to do with the developers of Wordworth, but is
a productname for a product from Flashpoint(TM).
