Amiga Society celebrates third anniversary
Horst Diebel wrote:
"Yesterday three years ago Soci went online. During this time many things have happened
and the site has grown more and more but there were also some breaks. Some sections have
been added other ones have been deleted. We look forward what the future may bring...
Meanwhile it has become a good tradition to thank you all who have supported us. Therefore
we will do it in this year, too.
Thank you very much Andreas Magerl (Amiga Future) who has made his news available, Ian
Chapman with his Big Book of Amiga Hardware, Markus Schmidt with his ICQ-list and the
boys of the Schlachtfeld team. Furthermore we would like to say thank you to
Amiga-News and Amiga-Plus. Please keep on doing your good work. Of course thanks to all
who have supported us!
During the last days the following things have changed: There was an update of the
Big Book of Amiga Hardware and of the Little Book of Amiga Software. The section of
Schlachtfeld is online again and will be extended in the next days.
There is no special birthday update but we are intensively testing the last alpha of
Schlachtfeld to change as soon as possible to the beta status. We will give a current
status report in the next days."
amiga-news.de says Happy Birthday!

Amiga Arena: 5 Anniversary Preview
Amiga Arena - The fire still burns
5 Anniversary preview
In 1998 "Amiga Arena" has been founded in order to support the Amiga Freeware and
Shareware market.
Beginning with a link list at the end of 1998 Amiga Arena developed to a good place
for Shareware special actions.
By this concept several Shareware special actions could become possible.
During the time interviews (over 100 now) and the release of registered Shareware programs
were added as new features.
I could make possible all these things with the help of the developers and of all
active users of print and online magazines and news sites.
Thank you to all these people (have a look at the hall of fame) and all these ones
who I have not mentioned but who supported me, too.
Because of this event I will tell you the history of the last five years and will also
add screenshots.
But that is not all!
During the "Amiga Arena anniversary weeks" there will be several actions with many
developers and companies.
With the help of the list of participants you may imagine what things you can
expect.
The summer will be hot - the fire still burns!
Commercial participants:
- AmiAtlas Team
- Amiga Future
- amiga-news.de
- AMIGAplus
- Airsoftsoftwair
- Apex-Designs
- e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment gmbh
- Funtime World
- Hyperion Entertainment
- IOSPIRIT
- Inutilis Imperium
- KDH Datentechnik
Shareware participants:
- Gutmann, Steffen (MuiBase)
- Hodges, Chris (Poseidon USB)
- Dröge, Sven (Bonds)
- Hoffman, Helmut (PhotoAlbum/CyberShow)
- Jahn, Bert (WHDLoad)
- Kimna, Christoph (PairsNG)
- Kost, Stefan (SoundFX)
- Unger, Thomas (The Kickstart Archives)
I want to thank all participants! I hope you will take part in many of the actions
to show me that the last five years have been useful and to show the developers/companies
that their work is still wanted!
Your Olaf K. - Amiga Arena
amiga-news.de says Happy Birthday - five years are a very good performance!

File Manager: DiskMaster Version 2.5.23
Rudolph Riedel has released version 2.5.23 of his file manager and put it up for download (title link) on his homepage.
This time there's a version compiled with GCC as well as a version compiled for Amithlon. Owing to the Amithlon license Rudolph Riedel could not test the latter.
The most important changes in brief:
2.5.23 (2003-07-17) 74096 Bytes
- New version numbering - the next full version will be 2.6.
- Many little changes have been made to DM2, in order to make it compliable with GCC, VBCC and GCC for Amithlon -> portability.
- IRQ Server has been replaced with timer.device code -> portability.
- Mistake correcting.
Rudolph Riedel: "I allowed myself to issue a call for
donations
on the Internet. I would love to support the AmigaOS in the future, but my A1200 is really not suited for this anymore and I really don't have the spare cash for a better Amiga. I guess I have more motivation than credit..."

The Legacy: Game Museum News
The Legacy is a game museum for C64, Amiga, Atari, PC,
Schneider/Amstrad CPC, in which the readers provide screenshots, cover scans
and information about the developers. On the news page, the Legacy team has announced the following:
Next we draw your attention to a new game titled "Eve Online - The Second Genesis."
Here
is a review in which you may get an idea of how in-depth the game is, and how it is played.
Further, DoM of Team Legacy explains: "In the meantime there are two sorts of updates. A master update, which has broadened into more than 600 games, and an incremental update. The latter is to accomodate everyday-type changes.
Our regular guests certainly have noticed by now that support has been slow new steps: Betatesters can already use all the new functions. All other visitors can use some of them. In the background I'm working under intense pressure on new functions which will move some functions into the live database, including email notifications when something is taken over."

Mac: Northland getting closer to release
The Apple Macintosh version of Northland is very close to completion now.
The game has been in betatesting for some time now. "Northland", which was
developed by Funatics Software for the PC is ported to the Apple Macintosh
and other platforms by e.p.i.c. interactive. The Mac version will require at
least a G3/350 with 128 MByte RAM and OSX. A OS 9.x version will also be
supplied on the CD but the memory requirements are not 100% known yet.
"Northland" for the Macintosh should start shipping from the middle of
August 2003 and preordering from our webstore will start next week, when the
demo version of Northland for the Mac will be launched.
More information on Northland can be found at:
www.northland-game.com or
under the title link.
The MorphOS version of Northland should go beta very soon. A demo version for
the Pegasos and MorphOS can be expected in August.

Poll about the 3D map for Tales of Tamar started
Some days ago Eternity gave a
status update
of Tales of Tamar and pointed to the
planned 3D map (Snapshot).
Within the comments there were surprisingly little feedback about this map.
To give Eternity the possiblity to get an overview about the interest on such a map
we started a poll regarding that map.
Please vote only if you bought ToT already or if you will buy it definitely (maybe if there is such a
3D map). Thereforeso: Please don't hesitate to vote because for a programmer nothing is worse than
ignoring his work.

G4: A few ammount of Pegasos I April 2 G4 available
The first processor card to upgrade the Pegasos is available now.
Thank to the flexible, upgradable and open architecture of the Pegasos Genesi
offers a G4 upgrade which will lead you to the next step of computer experience.
For the Pegasos are
processor cards
with a Motorola 7447 CPU which operates with 1 GHz and more available now.
The 7447 is the newest PowerPC processor of the fourth generation
(G4) by Motorola, which offers an increased performance compared to the recent
processor generation (G3). Additionally to a bigger cache the
7447 offers more pipelines, an improved front side bus (FSB) and, most important, an SIMD unit called Altivec.
Altivec offers a special on-chip vector engine, which is capable of operate more than one Gflops (one billion
floating point operations per second) but is still affordable for an average user.
There is a few ammount of Pegasos-1/April-2 boards with this G4 card available for
EUR 499.- (excl. VAT). If you are interested in one of these boards please feel free to contact

individual Computers: Retro Replay sold out
Retro Replay is a clone of the popular Action Replay for the C64. The
cartridge was made in October 2001 at a very limited quantity, which is
sold out now.
The last cartridge from the mass-production and an early prototype from
March 2001 are now offered in an eBay-auction. Since the announcement of
RR-net, a networking card for the Retro Replay, we had strong demand for
the cartridge, and many people asked for a new production run.
Unfortunately, the cost, and therefore the risk, is very high, because
we'd have to produce several hundred cartridges in order to keep the
price of 50,- EUR. Therefore, the interest in the auction will determine
if a new production run will happen:
As announced in the product description, we're sponsoring the "Retro
Replay Party", it will take place in September this year. Details
will be published shortly, but we can already say that there will be
plenty of free beer. Nice detail of the party location: It's an air-raid
shelter from World War II, which has no windows. Neither 2000, nor XP ;-). (nba)

Mercury News: Start-up's goal: run software on any chip
The article is about the company "Transitive" which apparently has developed
a very fast (70% native speed) and lightweight (600 KB)
"on-the-fly" binary code translator which shall make it possible to run software
on any processor architecture.
Recently an unknown "big partner" is claimed to have been found, who apparently
is pumping vast amounts of money into the company. (ps) (Translation: cb)

AntiSPAM2 update released
All AntiSPAM2 users are asked to download the newest version from the server under the title link.
Older AntiSPAM versions including the beta versions currently in circulation contain a bug which may cause a crash
when encountering incorrect form headers.
Apart from this bug fix the new version contains some small detail improvements.
Thus, beside some improvements in the query routines,
you can now set the position of the start window.
In order to curb the growing data flood there will be a conversion of the matching function
in the forseeable future.

Scalos: Port to MorphOS in the works
As announced on MorphOS-News.de,
the Workbench replacement Scalos is being ported to MorphOS.
Ambient stays the standard GUI of course - but, as Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco wrote in a corresponding
comment,
variety is the spice of life.
Scalos' feature list comprises
a.o.t. full Multitasking (every window has its own task), icons becoming transparent
when drawn over something they can be applied to with drag&drop, stretching, splitting
and centering of backgrounds, iconification of drawer icons as well as a plugin system
for replacing or adding new features.
