Asimware with new website
The great AsimCDFS seems to be gone! Asimware recreated their homepage, and there
is nothing to be seen of AMIGA products! Only HotBurn!
We asked Asimware about it, and yesterday recieved this answer from
Richard Giannini: "We will have
the downloads for AsimCDFS and MasterISo return shortly. The download
code has to be rewritten to fit the new web site structure. I apologize
for the confusion."

CD32 Alliance News
Who knows his stuff with CDXL? Since our next issue of the CD32 Outside
CD32 Alliance is all around "CDXL", we are looking for users who know this animation format, perhaps even created
their own animations for it or converted other animation formats like MPEG, AVI, Quicktime or Anim
into a CDXL animation.
We would be happy if some users would contact us on this.

clickBOOM: S-files #4
The adventure Nightlong, which spans 3 CDs, is going into final testing stage. At
clickBOOM it was already successfully played
under AmigaOS 3.5. The CDs contain the animation sequences in low and high resolution.
The high one is for PPC and 060 systems, the small one for 040 and 030 Amigas.
The Amiga port of the game classic "Z" by the Bitmap Brothers is 50% ready. The port
is very difficult, since Z is written in Assembler, but the most difficult part is done.

AminetGUI now with AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive)
The Aminet-GUI has a new feature! Starting immediately is AULA (Aminet UpLoad Archive). This
is an archive containing the weekly upload lists. They can be sorted by date or directory. As a
special service, I will also offer the so-called Top Aminet Uploads. These are uploads I
described briefly. They can also be found on the AmigaFuture
homepage, since I create them on their behalf.

Atari-Lynx emulator: Handy v1.05
On May 12th, Mathias Roslund released the Amiga version v1.05 of Keith Wilkins' Atari Lynx
emulator "Handy". With this release, the Amiga version closes the gap to the Windows version.
The Amiga version is based on Handy v0.70 and offers high compatibility. It supports the CD32
joypad, running on CGFx screen modes with a resolution of 320x200. Some of the changes since
the last version:
- Change: now uses ReadArgs instead of custom CLI subroutines
- Change: by pressing HELP, a screenshot can be saved in PCX format
- New: support for Nostalgia
- New: SCREENMODE parameter support
Handy requires an Amiga with PPC board, WarpUP v4.0+, 16 MB RAM, AGA or CGFx. Additionally, the
lynxboot.img file is required.
The handheld game console "Lynx" (with color screen) was developed by R.J. Mical, Dale Luck and
others for Epyx. Distribution was done by Atari. It was released at the same time as the Nintendo
Gameboy, but was not successful due to the higher price and lower run time, due to the color
display.
Development system for Lynx games was the Amiga.

AmigaTalk v1.5
AmigaTalk version 1.5 is a GUI version of 'Little Smalltalk' (v1.0 by Tim Budd) for Amiga
systems, enabling using almost all Intuition and some OS functions from SmallTalk. It is
being worked upon supporting more OS functions, but AmigaTalk is far from being complete.
However the system is stable, and additionally contains a collection of test files as well as
a detailed documentation.
AmigaTalk requires AmigaOS v3.5+, a CPU 68040+ and 2 MB free drive space. Additionally, DeckBrowser
from InovaTronics is required. The author offers to send the CanDo libraries or the DeckBrowser
upon request.
Smalltalk is a programming language developed in the 80ies
by Alan Kay at Xerox,
and is considered being THE OOP language.

Submission: Interested in gfx module for DKB Wildfire?
Since the "Inferno" gfx card for the 68060 accelerator "Wildfire" from DKB was not
produced, and as a reaction to many discussions on the Wildfire mailinglist on possible
alternatives, a survey has been started at the title link to judge how many are interested
and which features are wanted.
This does not come with a promise that something will be produced, or any company be
contacted.

SWOS Euro 2000 probably won't appear
SWOS Euro 2000 by ALIVE Mediasoft will probably
not be released due to lack of time.
A new version of SWOS is ready and could be released in time for Euro 2000, but ALIVE Mediasoft
is lacking the time to get all the team and player names into the program. If there is somebody
willing to help, perhaps the game could be released in time.
Independantly, a new version will appear for the next UK season in August.

Aminet-GUI now banner-free again
Alexander Kurtz writes:
Due to me doing my military service in the Luftwaffe starting May 1st, 2000, only now I saw
that Prohosting has changed their rules and is now placing a banner to every page ending on
.html or .htm.
These banners sadly destroyed the looks, if not the usability of the GUI. Due to my military
service I was able to react only now. The GUI should be free again of Prohosting banners in all
important frames. So it is again possible to navigate the page, and make use of it.
I want to say sorry to all visitors of my site, and warmly invite you to visit my site again
as frequently as before. Soon I will create an archive saving the upload lists, so they can
be saved for reference. I can NOT check them for obsolete files, however, but would welcome
hints.
Again I want to stress that I am maintaining the GUI all alone, and that I am still looking
for someone interested in assisting me, since my online time is right now limited to weekends.
Please contact aminet@web.de.
