Wanted: Information about CDTV!
To continue development, or to re-engineer the CDTV released 1990, I am looking
for contacts to the manufacturer / the programmers of the CDTV software. Sadly, the
manufacturer company seems to be out of business, so I ask the readers.
This is what I know:
Manufacturer: Digital Creations
Programmers involved:
Bill Barton, John Botteri, Randy Jongens, and David
Porter
If anyone has informations about this, it would be great if you'd contact me
at stefan.robl@tirnet.de!

Alive Mediasoft with new website
Alive new web site is finally open with a host of new features, new games,
new hardware, and serious software. As a special welcome back present,
for a limited period Alive's game Blade will be available for free
download. (Please read the legal terms before downloading).
So now all you have to do is go and have a look...
But be warned - the site is experiencing very heavy traffic, and although
we've increased our band width to the largest account available, you may
still get a request for a time-out. If this happens, please come back later.
NEW Pulse Soon
The Pulse Issue 12 is just around the corner. We are giving you an advance
opportunity to request your copy now, as all 2500 copies of issue 11 were
requested in advance and went on the day they arrived from the printers.
As we've had a good response from issue 11, we may consider increasing this
run to 3000 if demand is high enough, but we must know within the next week.

.Amiga too long as a domain ending!
The article has been removed, since it seems to be an early April Fool's joke. (mb)
Regarding the article above, we recieved the following counter-reply from Pierre Prestel, which we
release unchanged:
Pierre Prestel [http://Amiga.Ac]
Admin@Amiga.Ac [mailto:Admin@Amiga.Ac]

COUNTER-REPLY!
On the internet site "/archiv/news0003.shtml",
my article from March 23rd, 2000 was changed by the Amiga-News.De editors,
to make the following incorrect claim:
Post Scriptum 28.03.2000:
Article removed, since it seems to be an early April Fool's joke.
----------
Herewith I make use of my right to have a counter-reply published!
My article, where I promised a free .pc domain including unlimited
webspace to the first 50 people sending in an e-mail, has been removed
to make the incorrect claim that it seems like an early April Fool's
joke. This is a FALSE claim which probably was intended to reduce my
creditibility and the status of the Amiga search engine http://Amiga.Ac.
Once again I want to confirm that all of the first 50 people sending in
an e-mail (which have not been reached so far) will recieve the promised
domain including unlimited webspace.
Pierre Prestel
System-Administrator
Note from the editors:
1. ICANN "Internet Corporation for Assigned Names and Number" -
Authority for CCTLDs (CountryCodeTopLevelDomain) - has only accepted a single new CCTLD since it's
founding, "ps" standing for Palestina. There are no informations about accepting a "pc" CCTLD.
2. IANA "Internet Assigned Numbers Authority" - Authority in IP
issues - maintains the list of all valid CCTLDs for the ICANN, and also does not list an CCTLD "pc".
3. Only the name server available at amiga.ac lists the CCTLD "pc". None of the worldwide, centralized
name servers on the internet knows this CCTLD. This means that persons who want to surf to a subdomain
of the CCTLD "pc" have to tell their TCP/IP stack to use the nameserver amiga.ac first.
For the above reasons, we (the editors) don't think that a claim for counter-reply is valid. In the
interest of finding the truth, we of course accepted the text above for official release. (Translation: mb)

MicroServ.org: Online again!
Sadly, we were forced offline for some days due to water damage. Now, the
phone company has installed a new cable, and everything is online again.
We want to say sorry for any harassment this has caused to you, but we couldn't
do anything about this. Since everything has been started up again, we want to
ask all users to check their accounts and passwords, and report any inconsistencies.

AmigaTools.net News
http://www.amigatools.net has been completely updated on Thursday (e.g. now
including HTML4.0 check). All download files have been retranslated and
re-uploaded last week; partly because the gateway.library has been changed,
and some basic changes have been applied to the libraries and libs.
Today, two uploads have been added:
- VersCheck V2 has been updated (primarily changes to MUI due to the
many changes by VAPOR).
- VersCheck V3 beta is now on the download area. BETA means an incomplete
and buggy version.
If you want to, you can download the version and test it. Since some issues
are already known, and it makes the coordination easier, I created a mailing
list for all beta testers. So if you want to test, too, you should contact
me to get yourself added to the list. Wanted: Testers with Amiga clones
and emulators.

Digital Almanac III Brainstorming
If you are interested in the astronomy software Digital Almanac (DA), you can get the
latest development status about DA III (PPC) from the author's homepage. The most
important changes and improvements are presented there.
Moreover, the author is looking for reliable and determined beta testers and users
of DA II with good ideas that could be implemented in DA III. Right now, only the 68k
version is worked upon.
- Requirements are (68k):
- a well equipped Amiga (68040/40 or 68060/50, OS 3.5, 32 MB)
- registered (!) MUI user
- basic knowledge of astronomy and astronomic terms
- programming experience in C (C++) and mathematic knowledge is advantegous
Apply by e-mail, stating knowledge and hardware.
As a reward, the software itself is free. A first (German) beta version for 68k will
probably be available by the end of April. Right now, only an English localisation
is planned. The time schedule for the PPC version is depending on DCE, so no dates
for this.

Forming a professional / commercial development team to work on AROS
My boss, Mr. Yourievski from the Sowatec AG has offered us a once-in-a-lifetime
chance: If enough people apply for working full time (incl. getting payed real
money :-) on AROS here in Switzerland, he will have a really good look at this
business opportunity. If he can see a way to make money with it, he will handle
everything necessary to get us going at full steam :-)
So if you think you're worthy ;-) and you can move (or already life) in Switzerland, send your resumee to:
Sowatec AG
Witzbergstrasse 7
8330 Pfäffikon
Switzerland
or by EMail to yourievsky@sowatec.com
If you cannot move to Switzerland, then send your resmuee, anyway. Just note
that we need at least 5 developers here; when we reach that, then the rest can probably live anywhere :-)
Also note that this would greatly enhance our relationship with Amiga Inc
(because then, they would have a professional partner instead of a bunch of
hobby developers working on their spare time).
Please bother him only if you're interested in working full time on AROS.
All other inquiries should go to me
digulla@sowatec.com directly.
Thanks,
Dipl. Inf. (FH) Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla
