New MUI is comming!
Laire (Ralph Schmidt, coder of the now-gone phase5 and the founder of
MorphOS project) said this on ircnet
#amiga around Sat May 6 00:50 EEST 2000.
We were talking about AmigArt Morphos
poll (saying that 41,5% won't buy Morphos unless WOS and WarpUP support is added):
Laire: these 41,5% people will fall down at once if they can use *real*
ppc apps

(included here with permission from Ralph)
So MUI4 *is* really coming, it seems. How come Ralph seems to be the
only one that REALLY makes things happen. :-)
Oh yes, and this is really no news as Ralph pointed out. Just read
the text at the title link.
There has been some internal discussion about this. I think it is
important to check the results
of the poll mentioned yourself, since there have been more than two
options in it... (mb)

New wheelsupport software for Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface
The new Mroocheck.driver ver.1.2 supports all the possible Amiga
graphic modes. The previous version of the Mroocheck.driver supported
only: PAL, NTSC, DbPAL, DbNTSC and all the modes in graphic cards.
The Mroocheck PC Mouse Interface sends information to Amiga on wheel
movements in the form of analogue signals. The internal A/C converters
built into Amiga are used to decode them.
The immense advantage of this solution is that wheel signal decoding
does not hog the computer's processor.
The Amiga A/C internal converters are based on counters of lines
of the image generated by Amiga's graphic chips.
The current driver update allows calibrating these converters for
any graphic modes.

MUImp3 Alternative MUI for NCode
Meanwhile, MUImp3 is available in version 1.5 and I think I can now mention it in public ;).
MUImp3 is a MUI for the MP3 encoder NCode. MUImp3 uses the command cdda for reading
digital audio data (where supported by the drive) and can access the CDID files for
generating tags.
Thanks to ARexx, downloads from the internet are possible with the program ACDB. This all
is based on Arexx, MUIRexx and the rexxtricks.library. MUImp3 is available on Aminet
and on my website under »Projects«.

ParaGlide Voodoo 3D module soon available
The Voodoo 3D module for the PicassoIV graphics card will be available soon. Preorders
are being taken.
As there's no information about a shipping date on the Village Tronic homepage, we inquired
via email. Birgit Neumeier of VT confirmed that the ParaGlide module will be going into
production soon. "We are currently dealing with the many preorders and hope to finish
this in the next two weeks."

Heise: Free Server for Color Calibration Profiles (ICM)
«At the address www.ProfileHelp.com , the
Jetsoft Development Company offers a server for ICM profiles. Such profiles are used to
improve the color output on specially equipped systems (e.g. current Apple Macintosh computers or
Windows 98 and 2000 PCs). After a free registration, JetSoft transfers a password via email
that entitles you to freely download the profile files.»
Wolf Faust, known to Amiga users as programmer of the
Amiga printing driver program »Studio« writes about it in the Heise forum:
Besides www.ProfileHelp.com there's also http://www.coloraid.de.
www.coloraid.de is still under construction, but you can already find there not only free
profiles, but also free software for the creation of profiles and cheap IT 8.7 calibration
images. The site is a portal for several programmers who work with color software in their
"free time".
More profiles for monitors and printers, as well as free software for the creation of profiles,
are in development (for years!) and should see the light of day one by one within the next months.

amiga.topcool.de: interview with Petro Tyschtschenko
"I will stand up for the further development of our OS 3.5" promises Petro Tyschtschenko, vice
president of Amiga, but also says that his influence on the business in the USA is not so big.
He also means that it is possible that on christmas the new TAO/Amiga-OS is maybe available.
Also an appearance on the CeBit-Home in Leipzig, Germany, is planned. Read the whole interview
under the titlelink (german).

AROS still alive
There is the rumour abroad that AROS is dead, that there is no further work on the project.
Aaron Digulla tells his opinion and gives facts about that:
Date Thu, 2000-05-04 17:40:39 +0200
Subject [AROS-Announce] AROS is *NOT* dead !
Return-Path aros-announce-admin@lists.hepe.com
Someone posted a message to the AROS-User list mentioning that AROS
is dead and that Amiga doesn't do anything, etc (the usual "I'm unhappy
and I want everyone else to be unhappy, too").
Facts:
- AROS is not dead. We are currently working on forming a professional,
payed development team which will work at least part time on AROS.
This should allow us to finish the work much more quickly. I cannot
promise that this will really happen but that will be decided on
Thursday, the 11th of May (next week). I will post here ASA I know
something new.
- I'm in close contact with Amiga and we're bouncing ideas forth
and back how Amiga and AROS could work together or how AROS could
get into a stable legal state. Most of these ideas did turn out to
be unusable and therefore we're not discussing them in the public.
Otherwise, there would be a lot of havoc and disruption.
- I'm also in close contact with OAF. AROS and OAF have separated
again because our mutual goals were no longer compatible. Basically,
OAF wants a version of AROS under GPL which would allow them to
work with FSF and other open source organizations which require this.
His problem ATM is to find out which parts of AROS infringe copyrights,
trademarks and patents and to find out how he can work around these.
AROS itself will try to move closer to Amiga because then we can get
support from them, we can help Amiga companies to make their old
apps work on AROS, we will get legal protection from Amiga, etc.
I cannot say if either attempt has an advantage over the other. All I
can say is that both make sense and since it's not clear which is
better, both should be tried. May the better win :-)

Small Gui for GhostScript
Due to a discussion on the Voyager-mailinglist about APDF and GhostScript (about the complicated usage of GS via Shell and
command options or GS-commands) I decided to create a small GUI which solves this problem a bit.
At the moment only the showing and printing of EPS/PS/PDF-files is supported, but i will add the possibility to convert into
bitmap-formats and small installing text (usage of GhostScript with webbrowsers - MIME-type support). Of course is this all
GNU-GPL freeware.

is hosted by the Kickstart Amiga User Group:
ray mccarthy ray-mccarthy@cwcom.net May 3rd, 2000
kickstart show update
There are just a few short weeks to go until K3, the third Kickstart Amiga
Show takes place. The show is being held by The Kickstart Amiga User Group
(http://www.kickstart-amiga.co.uk), based in Ottershaw, Surrey.
The Date: Saturday May 27th 2000
The Time: 12-5pm
The Place: Brook Hall, Brox Road, Ottershaw, Surrey
Admission: £1 per person
The third Kickstart Show is nearing and already we have a
fantastic line-up of activities and stands for you.
In addition to the two Amiga A1200 Magic Packs from Amiga Inc (one to bwe
given away in a prize draw for all show goers, the other exclusively for
Kickstart members), a host of hardware from Analogic and Epic and software
from Forematt to give away, we have over 25 stands selling new and second
user Amiga software and hardware, and demonstrating Amiga applications.
In our Games Arena, we have multiplayer Quake and Multiplayer Super
Skidmarks contests running (see our web site for the advance
sign-up form).
You can win a host of prizes from joysticks to hard drives.
You also have the chance to buy the fully registered version of
the incredibly popular and equally impressive Moovid video player
software. Registering software with overseas authors is often
difficult and time-consuming - at the Kickstart Amiga Show you
can do it in £ Stirling and immediately.
All this and more is already confirmed, with more to be added in
the coming weeks.
For more information, please look at the Kickstart Web Site
(http://www.kickstart-amiga.co.uk).
