NoPiracy News
Thanks to the help of Amiga.org, a new NoPiracy forum is online. It is open for all discussions on the piracy subject. For several weeks now there is a poll on the subject for the Amiga, as well as some new logos and banner on the NoPiracy site. Have a look at it, and place the logos on as many websites as possible.

VersCheck V2 FINAL RELEASE
Michaela Prüß writes:
Starting immediately, VersCheck v2.19 (FINAL RELEASE) is available for download from my homepage. An Aminet upload has been submitted, it should be available there tomorrow.
FINAL RELEASE, since I need the next version of VersCheck for my Install script project, so I finished everything important that was left open or undone, and created a last update release. The next version will therefore be v3 (assuming there are no necessary bugfixes to do). What has changed?
  • Some settings can be done by ENV:
  • The whole version sensing has been reworked, being faster and safer
  • Output can optionally be done in ANSI (so important things can be highlighted)
  • A small statistic has been added
  • Some small and large fixes have been done, internal help -? updated
  • Two bad memory faults, which seldomly occured, but were there in the old version, have been detected and removed
  • Special News-Doc in the doc drawer "NewInThisVersion"
  • New .catalogs (update only German / English so far. So do the update with Installer only)
  • Internal ReqTools requesters replaced by ASL requesters. I had problems getting the old requesters to work with WarpOS and PowerUP, with numerous memory faults. The ASL requesters do work, and are 100% identical with WarpOS and PowerUP.

To all who still have my Webjump homepage in their bookmarks: Due to the bad bandwidth and continuous server downtimes, I moved the pages to http://24.132.37.25/~Gateway/, a different, very fast "free web service" (for all still looking for such, have a look at http://24.132.37.25/index.html). The old address does however link to the current page. Since I wanted it to be easier, there are direct adresses to the pages (please only use these, web layout will change shortly).
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5 (login with language choice)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/D (German contents)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/E (English contents)
  • NW:LGateway5 (NETWORD call) does currently NOT work with the three Amiga browsers, only with Netscape and IE. Should be implemented some time, however.

Bad availability of KatoDev
We, too, have been affected by the moving of one of the biggest providers (Xlink). The server responsible for our web pages (http), their maintenance (ftp) and e-mails (pop3) are either unavailable or offer only very low bandwidth. We ask for your patience, since we cannot switch providers fast enough.

AMPlifier Version 2 has been released. Download: amplifier2.lha (ps)

mp3 input...
You are always looking for mp3 input, e.g. for AmigaAMP. Who still remembers the rock legend "Birth Control" and their hit "Gammaray"??? A great remake of this song has been released for free download by the original artists at www.birth-control.de/CD-gammaray90.htm (title link).
For rock fans a must-have, for techno fans a gateway to new dimensions... :-). (ps)

Following a wish by Ingo Bowe, greetings to you, I expanded the upload list by a new function. This function allows changing the list sorting, which can now be done by date or directory. Also new is the server choice. By clicking on the country flag you can switch to the uploads of the according mirror server. This function is also available for the search function. For the other directories this is in the works.

In the update of December 10th, I made an embarrasing mistake, which has already been fixed. However, I realized that some 4.x versions of Netscape Navigator do have problems with my target tags. I try to fix the problem as soon as possible.

On this point, I want to mention my forum and my guestbook. Both can be found in the top bar at "Interactive". Tell me what you think of my page, or whatever you have to say about Amiga. I am looking forward to your posts. (ps)

Amiga Phoenix homepage
We from Amiga Phoenix are still looking for people wanting to participate. We are a new online Mag, which, without your help, will possibly not "survive". If you want more info, come visit our homepage, or write me an e-mail to: Andreas@aphoenix.de. (ps)

TreeList source code released
John Haubrich, too, has released the source code for almost all his programs. Download: www.kc.net/~johnhkc/amigasrc/

He writes:
Nearly all of my Amiga source code has been released on my web page including source for the lovely TreeList MUI custom class. If you are planning to update TreeList, I have a few suggestions:
  1. Implement a getter that returns the order of the tree.
  2. Use this value to dynamically allocate stack space for the iterator methods instead of requiring the class user to allocate the buffer manually. (What do you think of THAT, Allan?? Trust me -- he likes it!)
  3. Send a unique code into the iterators so that multiple iterators may still be used. ** The only problem is: who frees the stack buffers? I guess you'll need a FinishUsingIterator method.

Finally, I'm selling my A4000T on EBay (soon) which has all the source and more...
P.S. If 100 people will send me $100,000 each, I'll continue developing for Amiga. ;-) (ps)

AudioLabs News
ProStationAudio Version 2.50 will be available for a millenium special price. Further details in the official press release:

From:        AudioLabs info@audiolabs.it
To:          team@amiga-news.de
Date:        Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:07:46 +0100

Press Release

DATE:     14-Dec-99
TOPIC:    NL-editing system for Amiga, Flyer and Draco
CONTACT:  info@audiolabs.it


AmigaOS goes back to Hollywood!

EMRL (http://www.emrl.com) is handling the production of the first
AudioLabs (http://www.audiolabs.it) commercial shot on film, focusing
on the ProStationAudio software for AmigaOS.

Stills from the set are online at:
                 http://www.audiolabs.it/news.html
                 http://usa.audiolabs.it/news.html

The location was Chapman University audio studio, in Los Angeles.
The 30 second commercial was shot in color using an Arriflex SR16
camera, with Kodak Vision film. The script deals with a studio
recording session, involving a cellist playing in the recording
room, while a sound engineer works on ProStationAudio for AmigaOS
in the control room.

The film footage will be digitally captured for post-prodution
on an Amiga-based NewTek Flyer system. Audio post-production
will be performed with ProStationAudio itself.

EMRL is pioneering hi-quality film-based productions for Internet
distribution. Their film-based commercials are shot with care for
classic aspects of production such as lighting and exposure, and
also take into account Internet related details like video
compression and motion artifacts reduction.



To celebrate the last ProStationAudio release of this millennium,
AudioLabs is offering, until December 27th, 1999, the fresh new
ProStationAudio 2.50 at a special discount price.

When ordering before the deadline, you can get ProStationAudio 2.50
for US$299 instead of US$395.

ProStationAudio 2.50 is the ultimate solution for digital audio on
AmigaOS. It integrates with existing technologies and pushes them
forward: from native Studio16 files support to NewTek Flyer audio
clips import/export, from Draco binary compatibility to AHI-compatible
support for almost every card on the market, from Elite/SoundStage
EDL import to dual-CPU/dual-monitor operating modes.


Starting January, AudioLabs will expand the ProStationAudio family
of products with the hi-end ProStationAudio Millennium. The new
application, among other features, doubles editing power by
supporting 32 audio channels in the timeline.

ProStationAudio 2.50: New Features.

- PSA-AHI transdriver.
                    2.50 supports two families of audio drivers for
                    maximizing compatibility and flexibility. Beside
                    the orginal AudioLabs drivers you can now use any
                    AHI driver for realtime operations.

- Batch Import.
                    Select a directory and let ProStationAudio import
                    all the audio files, unattended. Great for handling
                    large MP3 collections or building effects libraries
                    on removable media for audio/video production.

- Tone generation.
                    Generate pure tones in the 5Hz:24000Hz range. 64bit
                    accuracy. Applications: test signals, striping of
                    masters with sync tones.

- Sweep generation.
                    Generate tones that sweep continuously from/to any
                    frequency in the 5Hz:24000Hz range. 64bit accuracy.
                    Applications: testing of listening rooms and devices'
                    frequency response, special effects.

- DTFM generation.
                    Generate DTFM (phone dialing) tones. Phone number
                    requester with full control on pause, tone and break
                    durations.

- EDL import.
                    ProStationAudio now can import Edit Lists. Create a
                    script with a text editor and let ProStationAudio
                    build the whole project for you, automatically. New
                    ProStationAudio edit list format.

- EDL plugins.
                    EDL plugins allow to import EDLs from other systems.
                    ProStationAudio comes standard with plugins for the
                    Producer EDLs (Elite/SoundStage) and the Studio16
                    EDLs (AD516/AD1012).

- EDL overlay.
                    Import multiple EDLs to merge different multitrack
                    projects.

- Nudging.
                    Nudging with variable step (numerical entry, range
                    size or object size). Move audio objects accuratly
                    using keyboard shortcuts.

- Extended MP3 support.
                    Extended MP3 support including now Wave mpegs and
                    a gain requester for the decoder.

Problems with ImageFX 4.0
There is a problem with the latest versions of ImageFX 4.0 and 4.1 under AmigaOS 3.5. Cycle gadgets are not displayed! Obviously ImageFX cannot handle the chooser.gadget version of 3.5. Haage & Partner and Nova Design have already been notified by me.

I have created a little patch in the meantime, patching ImageFX to make use of the chooser.gadget from the Aminet ClassAct demo, so the program is at least usable.

The patch should appear in Aminet soon: gfx/ifx/IFX-patcher.lha.
The patch and more information about it is available from my homepage (title link) under ARexx-Scripts.

And one hint for ImageFX 4.0 CD: The installation cannot be started from CD, since the Installer icon and the script have different names. So copy everything to hard drive (about 8 MB), and then start installation. (ps)
