DiamondBOX Version 1.10
Nikolaj Kiær Thygesen has created a website for his Amiga painting program
'DiamondBOX' which you can access via the title link. The program is GFX compatible
and requires at least AmigaOS 3.0, 8 MB of RAM, 1 MB free harddisk space, an Amiga
with CPU 68020+, and of course a bit of creativity.

X-CELLENCE News
1.) Changes in staffing level:
Our team now exists of 10 staffers. Rico Pook took over the web design for us and
we would like to cordially welcome him on this occasion.
2.) Domain:
X-CELLENCE at last could take their domain and is reachable under
http://www.x-cellence.de, now.
3.) Cooperative team management:
We separated X-CELLENCE into divisions. Each of the divisions is working on
their project independent from the other teams. This allows maximum of flexibility which
is especially advantageous in the shrinking Amiga market.
4.) Wanted ....
Due to division of X-CELLENCE we are facing a staffing problem. We still are wanting
graphicians and programmers. For those we would prefer people out of the Amiga community.
Graphicians should be familiar with 2D/3D tools on AMIGA and/or PC. They would work in
the divisions "GOLD" and "EAST".
I.e.: "SCR2K" (FunRacer) and "NYN" (3D ActionAdventure Shooter).
We are exclusively wanting programmers for the AmigaDE. The Classic market is no longer
taken into account by us.

Alternative: Sony Vaio with Crusoe-CPU
The Sony notebook Vaio Picturebook/C1VE comes out very innovative:
it's equipped with a Crusoe CPU and an integrated camera and weighs
less than two pounds. Does the notebook worth a price of 4,500DM?
Summary:
This notebook of the Sony C1V line is fast in compared to PDA and quite slow
in compared to a 'real' notebook. But the price for it is placed in the
notebook range where 4,500DM are not any longer a dram, meantime.

Anyone familiar with the original release of the Amiga

Amiga2001
As formerly reported several times, the Gateway Computer Show 'Amiga2001' will take place in St. Louis from
03-30-2001 to 04-01-2001. Petro Tyschtschenko will attend a celebration on the occasion of his
retirement at the show .
The original message:
»Petro Tyschtschenko is hosting a celebration at the
Amiga2001 show. That's right, Petro has been kind
enough to provide funding for a little celebration
of his retirements. Check out the web pages for this
special announcement.
Don't forget, we have a ROAST of Petro lined up for
the Banquet. The deadline for advance ticket purchase
and the Banquet have been extended to Monday March 26.
Banquet tickets are only available in advance this
year. So get you check in pronto. Tickets are selling
very well.
The Amiga2001 web pages have been updated several times
since my last email. If you haven't checked them for
venors and prizes lately, you should look again. We'll
have more next week too. So check often.
Several companies have been kind enough to donate prizes
for our show. Also, the hall is filling up quite nicely,
so check and see if you've missed any of the vendors.«

Which one looks best? Amiga-Boing-Ball or Check-Marks?
Dirk Hase takes interest in the opinion of
Amiga-Users. "I have already heard many said that they prefer the Check-Marks over the
Boing-Ball. One criterion is the recognition value of the logos. The Check-Marks overrules
the Boing-Ball at this in my experience. Has the time come to start a poll about his? Or
maybe a graphics contest about this subject? I think that Amiga Inc. should also be informed
about this since we can count on a new product, soon."
We can fulfill Dirk's wish about the poll. You can participate by following the
title link.

Version 2 of the Universal Filter for PageStream
The 'universal' filter allows loading of many additional graphic formats
within the PageStream v3.x/v4.x DTP program. Furthermore the loading of already
supported graphic formats was considerably accelerated in parts.
Version 2 of the filter is finally released for free on
http://www.uni.coloraid.de. Similar to
ICS the filter is now using the IRW library for
image loading.
The innovations in version 2 are:
- Now supports <8Bit and CMYK modes in PageStream
- Faster
- Almost no memory usage when no image is loaded
- Loading of 16 bit (converted to 8 bit) and CMYK data is now possible
- Improved PGM/PBM/PPM/JPEG/BMP/TIFF routines
- Considerably improved error handling thanks to IRW
- Locale support
- Compiled for different cpus
- MANY small improvements
The supported formats for now are:
BMP, DataTypes, DCX, IFF ILBM, JPEG, PCX, GIF, PGM/PBM/PPM,
PNG, Targa, TIFF

Heise: Slashdot have to Delete Article about Scientology
On last Friday the news and discussion forum
Slashdot announced a premiere the operators
might rather not wanted to experience: for the first time the internet
service - founded in 1997 they have become one of the most important
speaking tubes for the open source scene - had to remove an already published
article.
In a message
regarding the incident Rob Malda,
founder of
Slashdot and on the net also known as CmdrTaco,
stated that on Saturday last week an anonymous reader had contributed an article containing
a text Scientology keeps copyright for.
Scientology lay claim on being a church which the US revenue authorities admited.

Espial Escape - Slim Webbrowser for AmigaDE
"Escape is a HTML4.01 webbrowser which just happens to work on AmigaDE
thanks to its Java support. Escape is not only small, but fast and loaded
with features including HTML4.01, DHTML and more."
On amiga.org
you can read about it:
I noticed that the easiest way to install Espials Escape on the AmigaSDK was to simply
unzip the *.jar files to the root. Sadly there was no archive on Espials homepage that
made it easy for me to get them. So I mailed them about the problem. Now they have
added an archive of Escape with the Jar files on their homepage.
Further links on Espial Escape:

Espial Escape is a slim webbrowser for smart devices which supports all modern web standards.

Payback Update
The first update for Payback
is available. Several reported bugs were fixed and a screen scaling feature was added
for slower processors. Also, new graphics were integrated.
There's also an update of the demo version,
which raises the time limit of three to five minutes.
On the Payback website, an FAQ about
Payback was opened which answers frequently asked questions. The game can be ordered directly in the
online store.
In an interview with the Amiga-Future, programmer James Daniels describes Payback as follows:
"The player assumes the role of a young, fleeing driver and attempts to become a big
gangster boss. The game is entirely non-linear. To complete a level, the player has to
collect a certain amount of points. How he achieves that is entirely up to him. You can
follow the advice of the local Kingpin, uncover secret missions, or get into a fight."

New Screenshots of the Real-time RPG "Between the Lines"
Because of a harddisk crash, we have lost all source codes of our games
"Crossfire II" and "Between the Lines". At least Crossfire II could partly
be recovered, but it'll take several months to fully restore it.
As a compensation and the long time during which nothing happened on our
homepage, there are a few new screenshots of the real time RPG BtL.

Amster
|
Amster News
Amster is a program for downloading of authorized MP3 music files from
Napster. One also can let the program
(client) search for music files made available by other participants or can
chat with other participants.
Yesterday the Amster source code was put on
SourceForge.
Interested developers can participate in further development under
'CVS access' (explanation in addition).
Since it wasn't clear to me what CVS access means I asked about this on
our internal mailing list. Ruediger Hanke
took the task to give an extended
explanation. Because I can imagine our readers to be interested in this, too,
I post his answer here:
What is CVS access?
CVS = Concurrent Versions System, a program for source code management.
Among other things the program saves old versions of the source code, so
one can trace changes from one version to another. Furthermore it coordinates
changes in source codes if several developers are working on one single
program. Else there would happen situations like follows:
- developer A loads source ab.c
- developer B loads source ab.c
- developer A saves source code ab.c including changes done by him
- developer B saves source code ab.c including changes done by him
and by doing so overwrites the changes of developer A.
CVS cares for changes not to be accidently overwritten by somebody and
in the case of need announces conflicts caused by changes. Thus it is
essential if several developers are working on one single program.
Amster seems to be under CVS control. "CVS access" in this case means
that people wanting to participate in programming Amster can get
access to the CVS server managing the program's source codes.

Plextor Stops SCSI
Plextor Europe will stop production and distribution
of SCSI CDRom drives this very year. As reason for this
the company named regressive sales figures as well as
problems in providing components. In the long term this
would also affect the American and Japanese market. One
would want to address the DVD market segement with
devices with USB and Firewire interfaces in the future.

Amiga Arena News
Preface
Since I cannot affect as much as I would like to on my own I decided to
take a chance for a partnership with the Fun Time World!
The Amiga Arena homepage will remain what it is, now, and I hope to be able
to act even more effective in this partnership than before !
Olaf Koebnik - Amiga Arena
Amiga Arena - Fun Time World Partnership
The shareware market suffered from evaluations of the past years. The amount of
new releases decreased very much every year. To stop this evaluation the pages
Fun Time World and Amiga Arena agree to a partnership to patronize the
shareware market. This partnership's objective is to call user's attention
to developments at the shareware market.
This is to serve the purpose of higher sales and to motivate developers to continue to develop
new and better programs, at the same time. In the future by a closer cooperation
with the developers user's wishes shall be taken into account more than this has been
done before. In further steps registration of programs from foreign countries shall
be facilitated.
It will be determined from surveys which kind of software is in demand most.
Special wishes from now on can be sent to the Fun Time World and to the Amiga Arena.
Programmers who would agree to offer their programs at a more cost-effective price for a certain
period of time, can contact the Amiga Arena at any time.
Amiga Arena
The Amiga Arena is a shareware / freeware support site with special prices for
shareware software, links, interviews, and full versions of shareware software
which will not be further developed.
Fun Time World
The Fun Time World page provides the Amiga users with topical news, test of
software and hardware, as well as important information since several years.
Meantime the service has been extended by adding an online shop as well as
auction and forum sections.

Few weeks ago a new programmer took over the work at the ISDN-software and ported the source to a new compiler.
Because we could not find any bug in this new version we decided to release it as a public test version but
there are no new features or bugfixes.

New Version of HTMLread
A new version of HTMLread (v1.1) can be downloaded from the support page.
HTMLread is an extension for YAM. YAM is a wonderful mailer, but not
capable of displaying e-mails written in HTML code as like as sent by
Netscape, Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails
to a HTML viewer.
Some changes were made in the new version:
- HTML parser rewritten (faster, more compatible, , full «base» tag support),
- Problems with blank characters in the name fixed.
- New GIF for condition.
- Better error handling.
- HTMLreadPrefs rewritten (now with MUI GUI)

AMIGA Inc.: New PDA Projects
As already reported on
amiga-news.de, Amiga Inc. is organizing a project for programming software for PDAs.
People who want to take part in this project as programmers may announce
himself/herself via this
page.
Amiga already has contact with companies who like to use the AmigaDE software on
their appliances. In this context Gary Peake, director for development
and support at Amiga Inc., wrote the following on AMIOPEN mailing list:
We have spent considerable time talking with a company who likes what they
see of the Amiga content thus far. They will not be announced until St
Louis, but we all know that development needs lead time.
This company has some PDA models coming out real soon now and we have sold
them on letting Amiga developers produce their content.
This content will be sold via a web portal and all certification and
runnability testing will happen here at Amiga Inc for logistic reasons.
Specs are as follows for two separate units:
Screen Size: 240x320, 65k color3.5" reflective-TFT
Screen Size: 176x220, 65kcolor, 3" reflective-TFT
Both units will be able to handle up to 500k games and applications. Due to
CPU speed limitations, code must be tight and efficient as always. This
customer prefers VP coding, but won't pass on C, C++, or Java apps.
Examples of content needed:
Hoyle type card games
Chess
Checkers
Armageddon
PokeYman derivatives
No X rated content!
I am sure they would welcome any freeware content, but they are mainly
looking for commercial quality content. Details on how the system will work
will be released shortly to those who respond to this email.
If you are seriously interested in producing PDA content please send me an
email to gary@amiga.com.
You MUST be under NDA AND be a registered Amiga developer before I can
release any further information to you so make sure you have a valid NDA on
file.
If you have not yet registered and you have a copy of our SDK, please go to
www.amigadev.net and register as a
developer.
If you do not have a valid NDA with us, simply look at
www.amigadev.net under the "legal"
menu, grab a copy of the NDA and get it mailed back or faxed back ASAP.
Address and fax number is on the NDA.
Only serious need respond as we will be on a tight schedule to meet the
first delivery date.
This may be cross posted to Amiga news web sites and other lists.

New Development System for PDA Games for the AmigaDE
Ast, by the makers of
KDP,
is a new PDA game for AmigaDE. The game uses the gm-Engine to give
developers easy access to the basic functions necessary for games
developement for PDAs.
The release of Ast and gm is still long in coming. But for the meantime there's a
picture of an Ast beta
version. This imgae was taken before the final graphics set was added.

Wordworth Developments
Unfortunately development of Wordworth for the AMIGA has ceased several
time ago. The last version 7 indeed contains many features, but also lacks of things
like for example a JPEG filter. So you have to convert the wanted JPEG graphic
for now into IFF or another format Wordworth supports using a separate program.
Another thing completely missing is PPC (WOS) support.
I'd like to call programmers among other things working with Wordworth to
program the missing things (I'm mainly about the JPEG filter). Provided that I'd
have the needed development tools, compilers etc., and a supporting (teaching!)
programmer, I'd do it myself.

AKIconzGold Update
5 days after the latest update there's again one due.:
On my homepage can be found the third (and probably the last) "homepage only"
preview of the AKIconzGold.
There are almost 40 new icons. Additionally the ReadMe was extended by an
important part regarding the installation in which the setting of the correct
color palette is described that is necessary to display the icons as wanted.
The setting of this color palette gives some more advantages: All
icons, no matter whether MagicWB (8 colors), RomIcons (16 colors, often to be
found with the installers of WHDLoad and jst) or just the AKIconzGold (and also
the similar BNSMWBicons) have always the right colors with this setting. And
NewIcons, too, manage with this palette, and even GlowIcons do look relatively
appealing on a 32 colors screen!
People who don't want to restrict themselves to one "kind" of icons but want to
have the correct color settings for almost all icons should set this palette!
Besides, all sites of the homepage were recreated. Although less the design but
especially the colors were chosen completely new. This looks, in my opinion,
much better (and is much better matching the homepage title ;-)).

NetBSD/Amiga IOblix - Driver Change
The NetBSD/Amiga - IOBlix-Zbus driver was changed in a way that the quartz
frequency is changeable via the kernel variable _iobzclock (with binpatch
and reboot) or via the kernel option IOBZCLOCK.
Newer IOBlix cards use a 22.1184MHz quartz that allows more standard baud rates,
older ones on the other hand use a 24MHz quartz. Owners of a 24MHz quartz need to
set _iobzclock or IOBZCLOCK to 24000000.
Besides this, iobl* at zbus? is now included in the GENERIC configuration.
NetBSD-current testers are asked for review reports, also about the parallel
interface. Details about the availability of source code etc. can be found at:

PC MP3-Player 'Sonique' Planned for AmigaDE
Sonique is an audio player often used on PCs.
According to the current Sonique newsletter
it is planned to port version 2 - which is under development at the time being - to as much
platforms as possible. The interesting thing in this is the AmigaDE being mentioned, too. Further
details can be taken form the Sonique 2 FAQ.
This is from the Sonique newsletter, (sonique as you may
know is a rather good MP3-player on the PC)
SONIQUE NEWSLETTER - VOL 2. ISSUE 4. - MARCH, 2001
INTRODUCTION
As promised, this issue is a special update on the
current state of Sonique 2. Things are progressing
very well and we're wetting ourselves several times
a day from sheer excitement. We have to keep the
entire office covered in plastic. We've got webvan
delivering rubber pants and huggies directly to our
workstations. Yup, Sonique 2 is really that cool.
(stuff about sonique 2 deleted)
SONIQUE 2 PRIMER
You are probably wondering just what this Sonique 2
thing is really all about. How is it different than
Sonique 1? Why should you even care? Well, first
off, let's talk about the number 2. The "2" in
Sonique 2 is really less about Sonique VERSION 2.0
and more about Sonique 2, THE SEQUEL. Sonique 2 is
not just another upgrade of the same old tired software.
No No NO! Sonique 2 is completely different. Sonique 2
has been in development for over 2 years and shares almost
no code with Sonique 1. It is based on entirely new
ultra-swoobtastic(tm) technology. Audio system,
GUI engine, Skinning system, plugin architecture,
visual system, all sparkling new! Even has that great
"new software" smell.
SONIQUE 2 & MANTIS
Sonique 2 is based on some very nifty technology that
Andrew, Nicholas, and the rest of the Sonique coders
have been developing for the last year called MANTIS.
MANTIS serves two important functions: First, it separates
GUI design from application development, allowing designers
and programmers to work separately on the same app, freeing
designers from the need to program and programmers from the
the need to do GUI design (they hate that). Second, it
provides an extremely powerful environment for creating and
operating real-time GUI interfaces. Animation, effects,
layering, font rendering, menu systems, and just about
everything else are handled by MANTIS, giving the GUI
designer supreme control over the look and feel of their
app. Want to make a fully animated semi-transparent free
floating dockable custom menu with flames shooting out of it?
Want it in 200 languages? MANTIS can do that for you...
OTHER TECHNOLOGY
MANTIS is not the only booty-slappin' body rockin' trick up
our sleeve. There's also the new audio system. It features
24 bit audio (just like professional studio gear), support
for DSP effects chains, can easily handle just about any file
format, and is faster than fast.
The plugin system is flexible and powerful. There are
really no limitations to what you can do. Plugins can take
advantage of MANTIS and integrate seamlessly. We expect a lot
of really interesting plugins to be developed for Sonique 2.
This is going to be amazing...
(stuff about skins removed)
PLATFORM SUPPORT
Sonique 2 is very portable. We designed it to be from the
beginning.
Expect Sonique 2 for Windows 9x, ME, NT4, 2K, XP as well as
Mac OSX,
Linux, BeOS, and AmigaDE
LEGACY SUPPORT
Yes, Sonique 1.x Skins and Visuals will work with Sonique 2..
QUESTIONS
If you have questions about Sonique 2, ask them in the forum
(0000,8000,0000 http://forum.sonique.com).
We will go through the threads in the forum every so often
and move common questions onto the FAQ.
The answers that you seek are often available from other users
or Team Sonique members themselves. We prefer communicating
in the forum to receiving tons of email. We get enough email
as it is.
CONCLUSION
Sonique 2 is something everyone at Team Sonique cares about
deeply. We're sure that you are going to love it. We
certainly do...
BIZ DEV
If you have business related questions about Mantis or Sonique2,
please contact our business development staff at 0000,8000,0000
info@sonique.com or call 415-276-3940.
I hope this is of intrest to you,
Bye M Stormink.

X-CELLENCE goes AmigaDE
We will not develop our games (SCR2K, FirePower and New York Nights) for the
Classic-Amiga. For us this was not easy to decide, but the limited possibilities
of the PPC/3D system the AMIGA can offer for the time being don't meet our
requirements.
Since we all are AMIGA users from the very beginning, we didn't want to put down our
ambitions regarding the AMIGA, thus we came to the conclusion to develop for the
AmigaOne. We hope for your understanding.

Jikes V1.13
Kriton Kyrimis has released version 1.13 of the open source Java-compiler 'Jikes' for AmigaOS and
AmigaDE (AmigaSDK). The compiler distinguishes by high speed and is therefore a good choice for
extensive projects.
The compiler has been developed by Philippe Charles and David Shields for
alphaWorks-program
from IBM. The current homepage of the compiler is situated on
IBM - developerWorks.
You can download the different versions for Amiga under the title link. Besides the compiler you need
the Java-run-time-classes e.g. from Sun or the open source Java-implementation
Kaffe. You can find a
Kaffe-version
for AmigaOS which also supports under the Geek Gadgets
X11-port graphics under Amiga Jikes FAQ from
Kriton Kyrimis.
The version of Amiga works without ixemul-library.

You can choose the colour in 24 Bit mode or it can be reduced to the so called "web-palette".
The Workbench palette colours can be used and the VGA- and Netscape-colour names are also supported.
WebColor is part of the SiteWay project.
WebColor can now adopt each colour from each window or screen using a pipette

Interview with Thomas Knäbel, pblan GmbH
Martina Jacobs from amiga-news.de asked the CEO of the bplan GmbH some interesting questions:
Amiga-News: The Pegasos specification basically corresponds to the Zico specification from Amiga, Inc.
In your announcement you talked about the hardware, after it was technically enabled,
to be utilized for system software verification. Are there plans to also make the Pegasos prototype
available to Amiga, Inc. for Amiga product verification?
Thomas Knäbel:
In the first step we conceive the BIOs and boot software of the Pegasos hardware for system software .
When these are working faultless (i.e. it will then already be possible to start Linux)
the hardware will be available for software developers (so for Amiga, too).
Amiga-News: In the comments on your announcement on amiga-news.de Michael Garlich from Titan-Computer was
talking about AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 will run on the Pegasos hardware, until the software would address
the AGA chip-set. Is this true and if so, how broad is this downwards compatibility? Will it be
possible to run style guide conformable applications and current available games on the Pegasos
hardware under AmigaOS 3.1 to 3.9?
Thomas Knäbel: The current software stage allows to execute the following kinds of applications:
- All of the AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 programs which do NOT directly address the Amiga chip-set.
That is to say programs accessing the system via the AmigaOS' API are executable.
- PowerUp programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
- WarpUP programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
Amiga-News: Furthermore Mr. Garlich was talking about a PCI-AGA card was in consideration. Of course this
makes Amiga users' hearts beat faster. Are you reflecting such thing regarding Pegasos?
Thomas Knäbel: We are taking this into account.
Amiga-News: The Classic-Amiga not only has the AGA chip-set for custom chip. Standard for sound output is the
internal sound chip (Paula). Will the Classic-Amiga's sound chip be emulated by the Pegasos system and/or
are there other solutions for sound output under AmigaOS via the Pegasos' integrated sound sub-system
(e.g. similar to AHI on the Amiga)?
Thomas Knäbel: The Amiga's original audio output is made possible by a respective emulation. Programs utilizing
AHI are supported directly.
Amiga-News: Is there something you would like to say to the Amiga users?
Thomas Knäbel: On this occasion we would like to thank all of the Amiga users and software developers who had to
manage things without new hardware for a long period of time. We are sure to be able to offer to all of these Amiga enthusiasts a
hardware which meets the requirements of a modern computer system.
Amiga-News: Thanks a lot for this interview and much success for the future.

New project: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation
TAWS is a JavaScript project with the aim to convert the look & feel of our
beloved Workbench to a browser.
Many Amiga-related sites use the l&f of the Workbench for navigation, so I
had the idea to perfect it.
Feedback is wanted; I am interested in others point of view and if I
should go on with the project or not.

Geek Gadgets-Server with new IP
This is an important update concerning the GeekGadgets' servers.
Over the next few days the GeekGadgets project will be moving to a
new IP address [64.232.230.106]. A temporary disruption in service
may occur due to propagation delays in the various Domain Name
Servers, but nothing to be alarmed about. If you do experience
problems, you can use the IP
(64.232.230.106)
temporarily until the DNS hosts get caught up.

Programmers for Internet Software Project Wanted
Achim Stegemann wrote:
Programmers wanting to participate in a software project for the Amiga are
wanted.
The project's focus is to program a shared library to make developing of
Internet programs easier for less experienced programmers.
Many of us know the problem: One would like to load a file from the Internet via
FTP or HTTP protocol with his own program, but doesn't know the respective
procedure or addressing bsdsocket.library is too complicated cause you don't know
the commands needed. In such cases diverse source codes from Aminet or Linux sources
offer only limited help.
The library (maybe by the name of ftp.library ?) would do all this work for the
programmer. For example it should be easy to access files on FTP servers by
"FTP_Directory", "FTP_Open", "FTP_Read", "FTP_Write", and "FTP_Close"
(function names are possible examples). Similar should be possible for
HTTP or other protocols (e.g. e-mail communication).
The library is meant to become freeware to make it available for any program
developer. Anybody conversant with the use of BSD socket commands and
Internet protocols wanting to participate in this project is called to
contact me via e-mail

asyncio.library for WarpOS Update
There now is an update for the asyncio.library for WarpOS in version v40.4.
The update fixes a exception handler hit under WarpOS v5 as far as the handler
was activated (thanks to Oliver Roberts).
The update can be downloaded from the download section on the homepage.
It was also uploaded to Aminet and should be available there, soon.
Furthermore developers utilizing the PPC functions of asyncio.library (WOS)
might contact Achim Stegemann for
exchange of experience.

Simon 2001 V2.1
Simon is a small classic computer game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and
sounds. This is a small update and re-compilation of an old routine written by BoingWorld editor: Richard
'DawnBringer' Fhager.
Simon2001: Is a remake of an old classic game where the objective is to repeat an ever
growing sequence of lights and sounds. Download it here.
I played a version of this game on the C64 --- and while I could never repeat more than
15-20 steps I had a friend that managed almost 70!!! (I have 100 steps in this game) --- If
you can top this or even get close to my friends "record": Please, mail me, and let me know!
This was originally an old game I wrote back in '91. I added a nicer interface in '97. This
version (v2.1, Feb 2001) is slightly polished and recompiled.

AROS News
AROS, the open source project to implement a portable AmigaOS is progressing.
Most remarkable innovation is the finished locale preferences program by
Georg Steger. There is also a
screenshot
of this preferences. Additionally there is a demo showing the use of the
cool_buttonclass for Georg Steger's coolimages-Library.
The fractal program 'XaoS' (contrib section) needs topaz/8 font, hence it doesn't
work correctly any more since AROS now utilizes a proportional font.
Johan Alfredsson has corrected an error in C:SetKeyboard and in the RAM handler.
IPrefs now can use notification in ENV:Sys/ to update the settings.
Thanks to Stefan Berger is now is possible to abort packets sent to the filesystem.

Press Release: "Free Amiga Jobs" Conversion
Cologne/Erkrath, Germany, 02-Mär-2001 - In April 2000, Free Amiga Jobs,

were placed with firms and thus many new Amiga projects brought forward.
On March 1st, 2001, Free Amiga Jobs was restructured and equipped with
a powerful database. Employers can now submit their job offers online, while
employees can search for a job by several criteria. Of course it can still
be used for free by both employers and employees.

New Syntax Parser for GoldED Studio 6
A new syntax parser for GoldED Studio 6 is available for download at the
title link.
The syntax parser is based on Dietmar Eilert's source code. Some bugs were
fixed and new functions were added:
- recognition of script tags: PHP, ASP, JSP and Java-Script
- within those, the program code is displayed similar to C/C++ (special
characters, strings, brackets and program blocks are highlighted).
Hints on the installation and an example are in the archive which can be
downloaded at the title link.

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena - AmigaKonto full version
By authority of Adreas Regul the program AmigaKonto is ready for
free download. AmigaKonto was developed for management of
accounts. Especially for bank giro accounts with many movements
one quickly forfeits summary in verifying recurrent money transfers.
Therefore AmigaKonto first of all serves as a special kind of
database for managing the different transfer orders. By
various selection and statistic functions then it is possible to
address single positions well directed.
Full benefit is to achieve in collecting account data over several years
to have comparison values at hand enabling you to get a quick summary
by use of the selection functions.
Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is
without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of
Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation,
so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to
Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are
talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.
Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody
at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.
Supplement 02 March 2001
On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no
loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older
buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or
could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!

New Strategy Game Planned
Alien Imperium is supposed to become a network and Internet game which is supposed to support several
operating systems, because it will be programmed in Java. It will be made in co-operation of
Amig@lien with AccM Software Allianz.
In this space strategy game you have to be superior in technology and tactics to other races.
For instance you can invent a lot, but you can also enter alliances as well as other contracts.
Everybody who liked Imperium Terranum will be fine with this game. This game will be delivered on CD-ROM
and will certainly be released for the AmigaOne, but also a classic-Amiga version is planned. We hope
you are already excited.
Here is a hint for all who cannot wait for it: We hope to be able to show a graphic and sound presentation
to the computer revolution 2001. (Ricco Clemens)
Those ones who want to support the project "Alien Imperium" should mail to AccM or Amig@lien. We are
grateful for each help! Manfred Rauer (POI)

It has been already released a special version of Moovid which uses opendivx.library (because Moovid is
commercial, this special version only plays OpenDivX; you must have the full version for playing
different formats).
The opendivx.library archive contains also information for programmers how to use opendivx.library in

Jukka A Andberg has been included in the NetBSD-team. He has written a first (still incomplete) version
of a wscons[1]-driver for NetBSD/Amiga and will now complete it.
Wscons is the console driver interface which does not depend on the machine and which is already in use
on many NetBSD-architectures. It enables virtual switching consoles and makes the simultaneous use of
text consoles and X11-screen(s) possible which is a characteristic not included in the ite- (Internal Tty-Emulator)
system which is used in NetBSD/Amiga, so far.

Appeal to Rainboot Users
There will be some decisive changes in the next version of Rainboot for users of graphic boards. Because
I have not a CGfx or a Picasso96 system and I have got some messages that there are still some problems
with Rainboot. Though it works generally, I ask all who are still having problems with Rainboot on Cgfx/P96
to contact me in order to be able to fix those. Thanks a lot!

Confusion about Proceedings Against Met@box
»Currently a report of the stock exchange information service Prior produces some confusion.
Referring to this the public prosecution Frankfurt investigates the set-top-box producer Met@box
from Hildesheim because of the suspicion of manipulation of the stock exchange.
Already at the beginning of the year the business offices of the company has been investigated.
At inquiry the public prosecution Frankfurt referred to their colleague in Hildesheim; the supreme
public prosecutor Seemann confirmed that a proceedings was carrying out but refused to give
further information.
Instead of that he referred to the public prosecution Hannover which did not make a comment as well as
Prior himself: "The chief is in vacancy", was the answer at inquiry from Heise online.«

New PlayGUI Version and Special Version
From my homepage (Amiga/Projects/PlayGUI) a new version of PlayGUI can
be downloaded from today. (Unfortunately still not from the PlayGUI page due
to a server problem.)
PlayGUI is a all-around play GUI for mods, midis, Mp3s, and samples with many
features which can be embellished with skins and themes.
Changes:
- Bugfix: slider gadgets are displayed at the right position, now.
- Bugfix: sample-buffer showed 0 if it were set to maximum.
- Bugfix: GMPlay filter didn't work - this function has been removed
- The menus have been switched to upper- /lower case for easier reading
- Font problem fixed
- No more 3D frames for the skin
Moreover there is a 7MB special version of PlayGUI on my homepage containing
the latest version and additionally all of the skins and themes available
at this time. 90% of these are not to find at Aminet.

»Obviously there is a bug in all 2.8012 clients (build466) that put out wrong results.
D.Net recommends to use version 2.8010(build 463). It is unknown if this bug is
in RC5, OGR, or both. It is also unknown if the latest Amiga client 2.8011 contains

Album '2000 B.C' by Bobby Clark
For those of you who were into the module scene a few years ago, you might
remember B.C. (aka Bobby Clark, the guy who filled up Aminet mods/med with
heaps of music) ... B.C. now has recorded a debut album, which is purchasable
at http://www.mp3.com/2000bc
The debut album is titled 2000 B.C. It features mainly electronic and new age
based tracks, as well as a couple of re-makes of aminet Octamed classics.
The album may be purchased online from http://www.mp3.com/2000bc, and there
are sample mp3 tracks on the site which may be streamed or downloaded.
The album was made with the help of an Atari 1040ST running Steinberg 12, and an
Amiga 1000 (YES! A 1000!!!) running good old Octamed 4.0!

NListtree Final! Version 18.7 final
After many beta versions now the new version of NListtree is available under
the title link. NListtree is a MUI class basing on NList capable of
predictable displaying data in a tree pattern in different ways.
Among other software NListtree is utilized by
AmiTradeCenter, NewsCoaster, Charon, RxMUI, Workbench 2000,
SimpleMail, etc. This list is continuously growing.
For faultless function the latest version of NList v0.90 (19.98)
is needed, which is available under the title link form today, too.
NListtree works only constricted or not at all with elder versions of
NList.
And now an appeal: I would be happy about information which other programs are using
NListtree.
Have fun with it,

bplan GmbH: Pegasos First Hardware
bplan announce the first hardware platform to be available.
bplan GmbH announce the first
Pegasos prototypes
to be available. The fist hardware line is currently in progress at
DCE and after technical clearance will be
utilized for system software verification purposes.
According to bplan a first official presentation of a working system is to be expected
for early May, already. At the same time developer systems for software companies will be
available. As for possible operating systems for those machines
Linux as well as
MorphOS are supported directly.
In those systems the bplan GmbH for the very first time makes a platform available
including the virtue of an open system like Linux, as well as direct support for existing
Amiga® software.
Contrary to alternative basic approaches MorphOS is capable of running existing Amiga®
programs in a native PowerPC environment. The synergy effects between
both operating systems (Linux/MorphOS) as a result of this let the Pegasos systems be
interesting for both, developers and users.

Query about Double-Buffering
These are no true Inutilis news, but it's a cry for help. I'm just about to
change the double-buffering system of the game Ermentrud. Unfortunately I'm
not that skilled in that, so my question:
Does anybody know the ropes of the intuition functions
AllocScreenBuffer,
ChangeScreenBuffer,
and anything along with these? Who ever has coded an intuition-friendly double-buffering,
please contact Timo@inutilis.de.
If you cannot help even, but know somebody knowing about that, it would be kind, if you
would forward this message to such person. I appreciate every reference.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
Maybe it's the thought of spring finally coming - about 2 to 4 weeks
away in these parts - that's affected my mind, but I'm feeling rather
optimistic about the Amiga's future. I think the stories below will
explain why better than I can. Amiga Inc. has survived a year or so,
and while they're not as far along as I'd like (I'd like dominance of
the computer industry ...), they're actually doing pretty well by new
startup company standards. This is especially true given all the bad
press the high tech industry has been getting lately.
Then again, maybe it's just the thought that anything can happen if
Commodore can be revived in the US. See http://www.commodore2000.com
if you're curious. Our understanding (which may be wrong) is this is a
US company which bought the rights to the Commodore name from Tulip in
Denmark.
There's even a rumor that Jack Tramiel, the original founder of
Commodore, is involved in the revival. We haven't checked that out.
Whatever the case, we're reasonably sure there will be no joining of
the new Amiga and new Commodore down the road ... though there's no
reason why one of the Commodore PCs couldn't be configured to run the
Amiga DE ... hmmmmm.
LINK TO SUPPORT ST. LOUIS SHOW
Besides answering questions for our readers (see E-mail to the
E-ditor) , Bob Scharp is the force behind the Gateway Amiga shows in

Hi, just a note to say that as discouraged I am regarding the state
of the Amiga market and (lack of) devleopment, I still look forward to
receiving your Amiga Update news reports. I will continue anxiously
await them, and also to use my (accelerated) A1200 for as long as I
can get spare parts (or spare A1200s!)
Best wishes, and please keep on with your efforts
on behalf of the Amiga!
Rich

Rich,
Sometimes hard to not be discouraged. We do have some interesting
news in this issue that looks to the future in a positive way. I
suspect there may be more after the St. Louis Amiga show in April.
We'll keep you up to date, regardless.
Thanks for the kind words,
Brad

Aren't you overlooking something here. The new DE is supposed to be
portable to almost any OS. Amiga Inc. dismissed porting it to the
classic Amiga because current processors lack the horsepower to host
it. I think a 300Mhz Coldfire would do the trick though. Wouldn't a
68xxx compatable processor running classic Amiga and hosting the new
DE be a more elegant transition solution that having 2 processors ie
68xxx and PPC? Amiga Inc. may want to rethink porting to 68xxx if
someone produces Coldfire accelerators.
Regards, Jeff
~~~~~~
Jeff,
You're right as far as you go. However, I don't think it's very
likely we'll see the DE ported to older Amigas. For Coldfire to be of
much help to us, we'd need the port and a Coldfire board of some kind.
It could happen, and we'd be happy if it did. We just don't think it
likely.

Hello Brad,
Was interested to see the query from one of your readers regarding
SBase (SuperBase). I too am an SBase4Pro user, and received the
following reply from Russ Norby re. SBase, which may be of help to
your readers:
> Hello Ernest,
>
>
> The upgrade to SBase4 Pro 1.36 is $50 US the new manuals are also
> available for $50 for the set.
I am finding that version 1.30n, which is currently I what I have
now, is not compatible with the OS 3.5's printer.device. The Form
Designer is also not compatible with the printer.device. SBase4 itself
will still let you open the program, open files and work with files,
but locks up when you attempt to print. But the Form designer locks up
immediately when launched. (Could be that something on my system is
causing this, but I don't think so).
The form designer locks up because it attempts to open the
printer.device on startup. As a work-around I was successful with
either of the following:
1)rename the printer.device, then launch the form designer. That way
form designer complains that it can't open the printer, but still
opens and lets you edit and save forms. Of course, you can't print
with OS3.5 drivers...
OR,
2)put the OS3.1 compatible printer.device and printer drivers back in
service. I have decided to settle for this option.
So, I'm wondering -- if I make the system upgrade to Workbench 3.9,
will SBase4 run happily with that?
For whatever help it may be to your SBase-user readers, I am
attaching a couple of ".ini" files I modified for the HPDeskjet_842C
printer I recently acquired. I experimented until I got the result you
see in these files. The nice part about the HP_Deskjet842 is that it
lets you print in landscape page orientation with character-based
printer input from the Amiga.
These .ini files may not work for 1.36 (or any other version without
modification) -- for example, I had to configure the initialization
string so that CR=CR, LF=LF and FF=FF. That's because SBase4 version
1.30 generates CR+LF for end of lines, instead of LF only for
end-of-line as the Amiga system printer.device expects.
Ernest
~~~~~~
Ernest,
Thank you for a very informative letter. I regret having to edit it
to make it fit. I also regret that we can't put your .ini files in the
the newsletter for a variety of reasons. I would _strongly_ encourage
you to put them up on Aminet where everyone can benefit from them.
I also suspect that whatever works for you under 3.5 will continue to
work under 3.9, though I can't be 100% sure. I'm pretty sure you would
continue to have the same issues with printer drivers.
Please see also the next letter.
Brad

Brad,
Here are some comments on your story.
> We'd love to run such information, and will if we get any stories or
>press releases that cover these products. SuperBase - most recently
>SBase 4 Pro or Personal - is still the database manager I use when I
>want to get real work done.
The best information I have is this...
SuperBase is now SBase 4 Pro. It is alive and kicking at Mr.
Hardware. Call or ask him, or better yet, come to the Amiga2001 show
and see it in person. (Check out our web site at:
http://www.amiga-stl.com)
Russ Norby (the new Mr. Hardware) has released updates to SBase 4
Pro, and is actively working on it. In regards to Joe (the original
Mr. Hardware), he is deceased. His wife Pam did programming on SBase 4
Pro until turning it over to Russ.
Mr. Hardware (Russ), is the seller of SuperBase on the Amiga. The
original developers went to the ibm. Pam had been doing some of the
programing and has now gone to other committments. So Russ Norby is
your man. He is Mr. Hardware now. You can reach Russ at
1-631-821-2364. You you can also check his web site at
http://www.li.net/~hardware Mr Hardware Computersf is located at 38
Pearl Rd. RockyPoint NY 11778.
Bob Scharp
~~~~~~
Bob,
Thanks very much for the information. It's pretty obvious to me that
SuperBase, in any incarnation, is still one of the most formidible and
popular programs on the Amiga. We hope Mr. Hardware can keep it around
for a long time, and make the jump to Amiga DE at some point.
I'm looking forward to seeing you in St. Louis - wouldn't miss the
super shows you run there for anything!
Brad

Executive Update - St. Louis and Beyond
Greetings to the Amiga Family:
In Melbourne this last year, I was able to surprise many of you with
several announcements that were unexpected, and we delivered on each
of those.
Now we have a new show coming up in St. Louis. In a few weeks we will
all learn...
Where is the AmigaOne? Will Cringley finally eat his words about a
new Amiga? What about AmigaDE on PDA's, Set Top Boxes, Internet
Appliances, or even desktops? Will Tom and Nicole stay together or is
it over? Is there life for the AmigaOS after 3.9?
Contrary to the rumors and what many people are saying about our
demise, or that we are going to have the same fate of the others
before us, we have a big surprise for all of them.
I look forward to visiting with all of you in St. Louis, and I look
forward to taking over the Hotel, and the surrounding area with the
Amiga Spirit, and Community.
I hope to see many of you there.
There is still time, and in 6 weeks, it will all be known.
Bill McEwen, and the rest of the Amiga Team

(Amiga Inc.) There is tremendous potential for distribution of your
applications, games and other content for one of the world's largest
manufacturers of PDA hardware. The projection is for more than 7
million units to be sold by the end of 2001 and there are already
several million units on the market at this time. There will be
specific requirements as far as style, type of applications,
distribution rights and certification of content. Matt will have more
details on this in the near future.
If you are interested in developing PDA applications and games for a
specific manufacturer who will use Amiga Inc. for content delivery,
please contact Matt Fontenot, Amiga's Product Manager, as soon as
possible. This is a serious project for those with an interest in
providing content and we will open a new mailing list for it.
This project is for both open source and commercial content
providers, so no matter what your choice of development is, you are
cordially invited to apply. To get further details, though, you must
have a signed NDA on file with Amiga. You can get an NDA form from
http://www.amigadev.net under the legal menu, right hand menu bar.
Just fill it out and fax it to Gary Peake's attention at
425-396-5671. Then send an e-mail to projects@amiga.com that says "I
am interested." You can also contact Gary at gary@amiga.com or Matt at
matt@amiga.com

Hello,
One news from a new Italian Project: Amiga Server Ring
Hello everyone. The project name is Amiga Server Ring. The idea is to
group all the Amigas used as servers on the net under a common flag.
With the Amiga Server Ring (ASR) we want to create a net among Amiga
servers, in order to offer services to Amigans worldwide, advertise
the Amiga as server/workstation and help the AmigaOS sys
administrators and all the users that need it. There are no
requirements to satisfy to join our team, anyone who wants to help us
can do it, either providing a little bit of their bandwidth, or "only"
their experience. Since the project has just started, webmasters,
graficians, DTP designers, translators, experienced SysOPs,
betatesters, willing Amigans are welcome. Talking about the practical
aspect and about the implied benefits, ASR could accomplish to many
tasks, think about a Quake server for Amiga users only, or to a mail
account @ASR.org (it's only an example, we have no domains at the
moment), or think about your site hosted on an ASR server without the
obligation to show annoying ads banners (apart from the ASR banner of
course :-), or fast web and ftp site mirrors, or a shoutcast radio
with Amiga news and good music, a enthralling MUD for adventurous, a
stable and secure irc server, a powerful AmigaDOS shell via telnet for
ircbots, etc. Keep in mind that all these things depend on you!
If you want to contact us: encelo@amiworld.it, specifying "Amiga
Server Ring" in the subject, please.
There is a special channel on IRCnet: #AmigaServer
Regards,
Marco Lovera

· Frogger is the ultimate fast MPEG video player, with MPEG-2 layer
support for AMIGAs with fast 68k CPUs (68040/60) or PowerPC equipped
Systems.
The MPEG1/2 decoder is based on mpeg2decode created by MPEG Software
Simulation Group.
· Frogger was originally relased by Miloslaw Smyk, recently (well,
more then one year ago ;), the development has been taken over by
Sebastian Jedruszkiewicz.
· To use Frogger you will need an Amiga with 68k CPU (68030, 68040,
68060), a PPC equiped Amiga with at least 4MB of RAM, or any other
computer with Linux (PPC or x86) installed.

I see since Yahoo have taken over eGroups they have decided to
re-introduce ads into distributed e-mails - it was only a matter of
time... I just thought I'd like to let you know I have updated my YAM
script to now work with yahoogroups. The update can be found at:
http://wuarchive.wustl.edu/pub/aminet/comm/mail/YahooGpScan1_1.lha
Short: Strips YahooGroup adverts. V1.1
Uploader: Steve Bowman (Steve & Ulli Bowman <stevebow@hotkey.net.au>)
Author: ©2000 Steve Bowman (Steve & Ulli Bowman
Version: 1.1 (30-Jan-2001)
Type: comm/mail
Replaces: comm/mail/eGroupsScan1_0.lha
Requires: YAM 2+, AWNPipe: & ClassAct if you have OS3.1 or earlier.
About 80% of my incoming mail comes via YahooGroups. When they took
over eGroups, the advertising disappeared - for a short time. Now it
has returned. This script is only an update to the V1.0 eGroups script
to take into account the changes YahooGroups have made since the
takeover. The only change for existing users is to change you YAM
ARexx setting to the name of the script, now YahooGroupsScanner.rexx.
This started out as a very basic script, but I just kept adding and
adding to it. :^) I have done extensive testing, and although it works
fine on my setup it may not on yours. Please report any problems.
FEATURES:
· Reaction (ClassAct) GUI with progress bar and info on number of
messages scanned and adverts stripped.
· Will locate the Incoming Folder regardless of its actual name or
postion in the folder list or language (I hope...) YAM is running in.
· Will only scan mails flagged as New in the Incoming Folder - because if
you're anything like me you will usually have ~50 Read mails in your
incoming folder waiting to be manually archived. :^)
· If no new mails are downloaded from the server, no scanning at all
takes place. If there are new mails downloaded, only these new mails
are scanned.
· Intelligent scanning - if any new messages are not YahooGroup messages,
they will be skipped.
· After updating Incoming Folder index, returns you to your previous
folder/state before script exits. For example, if you have selected a
number of messages to be deleted in a folder and the script starts
after a download, you will be restored to that folder with the messages
reselected when the script terminates.
Some people have queried my method of handling the Incoming folder
externally of Yam instead of going through Yam's ARexx port. I tried and
tested both methods and found that for most (but not all) cases,
analyzing the Incoming folder was quite a lot slower than doing it
directly via AmigaDOS commands.
INSTALLATION:
To install, simply copy this script to YAM:Rexx. Now open YAM's
Config panel and go to the ARexx section. Hilite the "After getting
new mail" item and load "Rexx/YahooGroupsScanner.rexx" into the Script
gadget. Double check the Pop-up selector is on ARexx and not AmigaDOS.
Leave "Open console window unchecked, but (IMPORTANT) make sure "Wait
for termination" is checked ON. Click on Save, and that's it.
Important - The AWNPipe: device must be installed! Download the
latest AWNPipe: from http://web.ukonline.co.uk/awnpipe
If you do not have OS3.5, you will need ClassAct. AFAIK the final
ClassAct archive prior to OS3.5 can be found at
http://members.home.com/taston/classact but this is quite old compared
to the more recent replacement found in OS3.5, Reaction.

You can now buy Payback from Apex Design's on-line shop using your
credit/debit card or by cheque/check. We have also added a FAQ for the
demo and full versions of Payback. Please read it if you've had any
problems getting the game or demo running.
True or high colour display recommended
"Payback is a really impressive piece of work..It has a good sense of
humour, a lot of clever features, and some smart level design..it has
been quite a while since I've seen a new Amiga originated title with
this much promise."
Andrew Korn, editor of Amigactive
If you'd always wondered what it would be like to be a master
criminal, then Payback is the game for you. It's entirely non-linear -
to complete a level you simply have to obtain a certain number of
points - how you get those points is entirely up to you; you can do
what the local kingpin tells you, uncover secret missions or just go
on a mad killing spree. There are lots of hidden surprises to
discover, so you'll have to play the game through several times to
find all the extras.
As you'll have probably guessed, the game is inspired by Grand Theft
Auto, but every effort is being put in to make sure that Payback beats
GTA in every way. The game engine supports perspective correct texture
mapping, environment mapping (reflections), bump mapping, realistic
shadows, alpha-channelling (lens flares, explosions and shockwaves),
12 channel 3D sound and realistic physics. The game will also be
translated into several languages. This is a game that all Amigans can
be proud of.

If you haven't seen it already on the news sites, then let me just
tell you that Trogladite Software has launched it's beta site. It's
very similar to the old one, but now has many new additions, including
the facility for us to start developing for new platforms.
I'd also like to stress that this does NOT mean we are leaving the
Amiga. Far from it. A lot of work has gone into the Amiga section, and
a lot of work has gone in to make sure it stays part of Trogladite
Software for as long as we can get people to work it.
For this reason, we are always on the lookout for new developers with
new ideas, so if any one of you has the skills and would like to
contribute them (and be helped along by our extensive team of artists,
musicians and testers) then don't hesitate to contact
neil@trogsoft.org.
Finally, check out the Puiblic Beta website at
http://www.trogsoft.org, and please let us know what you think.
Oh, you'll also notice, if you go to the new Trogsoft Notification
Centre (http://www.trogsoft.org/notify) that we have archives of
messages sent to you using this system, for future reference and
perusal by our visitors. Hope you enjoy this and all the other new
features we are adding to the site daily.
We are working on many different products at the moment. I can't go
into details, some for legal reasons, and others simply because we
don't want to release details just yet. Suffice to say, we have
programs coming out for file and directory management, advanced text
file operations, personal reminders and much more. Keep checking
http://www.trogsoft.org/amiga/previews for the most up to date
information.
Thanks for your support,

Purpose
Xami is an X11 server for Amiga that can take advantage of hardware
capabilities of the graphic system for acceleration. It may be
launched from Workbench or CLI, uses the current keyboard mapping and
does not need any extra libraries such as ixemul. Owners of graphic
cards that have Picture in Picture capabilities with Picasso96 will
benefit to use the server in a PIP window.
So, if you have around you a machine with X11 capabilities such as a
Linux or a BSD box, this is THE software to have !
For more informations and release information on Xami, you may get the
documentation.
Release v030
o xami030.lha, the X server
o xfontmisc.lha, base misc fonts and cursors
o xfonts075.lha, 75 DPI PCF fonts
o xfonts100.lha, 100 DPI PCF fonts
o xfontspeedo.lha, Speedo fonts
o xfonttype1.lha, Type1 fonts

COMPLETE VOODOO GRAPHICS for Mediator
ELBOX Computer Development Department
is proud to announce today's release
of the new driver for graphic cards
working with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard:
=== Voodoo.card ver. 1.0 driver ===
As with all the production coming from ELBOX,
this is the best-quality product
to make your life easier and more efficient.
You have not seen such graphics performance ever before...
Major effort of ELBOX programmers
contributed to making this driver provide you
with all you may ever need.
Also, the new Voodoo.card ver. 1.0 driver
is fully compatible with the P96 graphic system.
The Voodoo.card driver supports the following chipsets:
* Voodoo Banshee 8 MB
* Voodoo3 2000/3000 16 MB
* Voodoo4 4500 32 MB
* Voodoo5 5500 64 MB
The Voodoo.card driver is a continuation of the Voodoo3.card driver.
It includes all the features of that release.
The following functions have been added in the Voodoo.card driver,
which were not supported in previous versions:
* Hardware clipping,
* Vblank interrupts,
* PIP,
* Overlay,
* Scaling,
* DPMS support,
* Big-endian 16 bit modes,
* Pixel clock extended up to 230 MHz (141 MHz for Voodoo Banshee).
The driver supports all the functions available in the P96 graphic
system for cards based around Voodoo Banshee and Voodoo3 chipsets.
Support for Voodoo4 and Voodoo5 cards is limited to 24-bit graphic
modes.
Little-endian modes are the main modes for all the PCI type cards
designed for PC computers. For full compatibility with future drivers
releases (TV tuners, Sound cards, 100 Mbps NIC cards, ISDN cards,
etc.) we recommend using little-endian modes. Big-endian mode support
was added for full compatibility with games prepared only for
big-endian modes.
DON'T WAIT, GO FOR IT!

Unfortunately a wrong version of the PlayGUI update was on my homepage and on the PlayGUI-site. The right
one you can now find under the title link. There you can also find the GFX-games-database with a new
layout. There is a news-site, links, the sections were put on different sites and besides this you can
download the last registered games and graphic board patches.

Digital Dreams Entertainment - Changing Server
As I was noticed via e-mail by a DDE team member (Raymond) the DDE site currently
is offline due to changing server. Supposedly there are problems in holding the URL.
Also the business e-mail addresses are closed. DDE became known to the Amiga world from
games like 'Wasted Dreams' or recently 'Codename Hellsquad'.

AmiATLAS
Because there were not many news about "AmiATLAS" in the last months
Thorsten Schölzel asked Andreas Regul,
programmer of AmiATLAS, about whats going on:
"You are right, there were no news about AmiATLAS lately. But now we found someone
who wants to develop the program. That is why I have the strong believe that there
will be a version 6 in the foreseeable future. But I do not know any details about
when or even if it will happen."
Everyone who wants to help the new programmer with the development can write to
amiatlas@gmx.de.
