Warp3D 3.0 available
The changes are mostly internal, new functions in the API, and support for
a new feature of the Permedia 2 (Chroma keying). For the user, the archive
offers the possibility to use MiniGL compiled programs, like the upcoming
GLQuake. There's also a small MiniGL-compiled demo in the archive, to give
you an idea of what's to come :)
Please note that this is only the user archive, I'm currently putting
finishing touches to the developer stuff, and hopefully this will be
available this weekend (But don't kick me if it isn't :)
If you find any bugs, please let me know. It's been tested mainly with the
CGX 4 driver, and it will probably not work with Picasso96 V2 (there where
some changes in P96 V2 that prevent Warp3D from working), but it should
work with the 1.4x release.

Heise: Microsoft in court: Will the Windows sourcecode be made public?
«Bill Gates apparently agrees to make the Windows sourcecode public
if this can make an agreement in the anti-trust-proceedings against Microsoft
possible. At least the American business TV Bloomberg-TV made this claim
after an interview with the ex-Microsoft boss and current Chief Software
Architect of the software company from Redmond. The denial by Microsoft
came immediately: Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan rejected the
information as "not true". Gates only said that the company would do its
best to achieve an agreement with the US government.
Bloomberg, though, sticks to its report despite the denial. Bill Gates would
indeed have stated Microsoft would not make the Windows sourcecode public to compete
with other open-source-systems. According to Bloomberg, he emphasized that
the "closed" sourcecode would make Windows more reliable. But he would have
stated in reply to the question what would make a "reasonable" solution for
reaching a settlement out of court: "If we can have an agreement, we will
do our best to achieve it". After the end of the TV recording of the
interview, Gates would have replied to the direct question whether this
would include the disclosure of the Windows sourcecodes explicitely with
"yes". "If that is all that's necessary", Gates added according to Bloomberg
with a smile.»

StrICQ becomes Open Source
Douglas F. McLaughlin has decided to release the sourcecode of the current
StrICQ version under the GNU conditions. Douglas won't stop the development
of StrICQ, but will make a new version. Currently, he's planning for version 2.0
which will be called StrICQ+ and which will contain many new features.
Those interested in adding their own improvements or extensions to the
current sourcecode may do this as long as they accept the GNU Public License
conditions. Also, they should put their extensions at the author's disposal.
Douglas will program version 2.0 in C++ and not any longer in C. He cannot
start with it, though, before he finished moving into his new house. Douglas
further declares that at the beginning he intended only to write a small
ICQ client and that he has learned so much in the last two years that he's
now confidential to make with version 2.0, which will be rewritten from the
scrap up, a really good ICQ client.

First public update of the Tales of Tamar Demo
With v0.26, the first update for all owners of the AF demo version of Tales of Tamar
is available. The update is about 300 Kb large and, as future versions, can only be
downloaded from within the game, by entering the storeroom and looking for updates
represented by barrels.
A really inventive and funny copy protection for a
change :-) (ps)

ParaGlide status report
According to Village Tronic, two external layouters are now working on ParaGlide PCB and
they hope the new layout would be finished in the midst of March. The manufacturing of
the prototype will then take three more weeks. If everything is okay and with a little
bit of luck this prototype will be completely operational and in the best case they can
begin with the first deliveries at the end of April 2000; in case of errors being found,
this will be delayed for three to four weeks.
