Amiga Future now also in English
On the Amiga Future homepage an interview with the programmer of Workbench
2000 has been released today. The interview can be found in the section
INTERACTIVE of the homepage (was AKTION).
Besides, the Amiga Future homepage is available also in English from today on.
The homepage has been translated 'by hand', not using a translator tool. Of
course, there's an English version of the interview in the English part of the
Amiga Future available. There's also a poll on the English start page and much
more.
For expanding the English homepage the editorial staff is still looking for
users which could translate the German texts every 1 - 2 weeks into the English.
In the English section there are two buttons: the first stands for the normal
and very up-to-date news of the Amiga Future that are translated online into
English using a translator tool, and the second leads to "real" English news,
powered by BoingWorld.

V³ v3.3.79beta
On 11. February 2001 Oliver Wagner has released the beta version
v3.3.79 of the web browser 'V³'. It contains bugfixes, improvements and
enhancements. For using this version a keyfile is needed. Besides this, Oliver
Wagner points out that it is a beta version that contains several bugs and so
mainly serves illustrating the actual state of development.
Compared against the version v3.3.75beta dated 4. February the following has
changed (among other things):
- Bugfix: A serious bug in the scanner caused all numeric
literals without decimal point interpreted as a 32 bit integer number, thus
forced also numeric literals not being integers into this format. For example
the initializing of the dates was affected.
- Bugfix: Prefs - When all cookies were deleted, this state wasn't saved thus
causing all cookies to be present again after a restart.
- New: JS - It is now possible to set form.target and form.action
[www.teleauskunft.de].
- New: JS - New functions: date.toLocaleString(), date.toUTCString(),
date.toGMTString(), date.getMilliseconds() and date.setMilliseconds().
- New: Layouter - support of percentage declaration within WIDTH and HEIGHT
of the IMG and EMBED tag.
- New: Layouter - supports now transparency in the background image.
- Change: General - workaround for erraneous URLs of the kind:
http://www.theviking.net?blah=blubb (e.g. missing '/' after the host).
- Change: Rexx - OpenURL was changed into LoadURL and the old OpenURL version
is used again. ARexx scripts and the openurl.library should now work.
- Change: Net - When following a redirect the GET command will now be sent
with the original URL as referer instead of the forwarding URL. This fixes
problems with scripts that check the refer and depend on the behaviour of the
MSIE [www.lycos.co.uk SMS service].
The complete list of the changes is content of the readme.

Tales of Tamar News
Version v0.33 of Tales of Tamar is available for download for registered beta
testers. If you also would like to become an alpha / beta tester, please send
an e-mail to this
address.
The necessary documents then will be send to you promptly.
In version v0.33 trading for Tales of Tamar has been enabled. Hence trading between
an unlimited number of players is possible, for the first time. Type, number, and
price of a country's produced goods are defined by that country's natural resources.
Those natural resources are defined by the player's estate.
Thus estate in the mountains automatically produce goods different from estate e.g.
in the woods. It can be dealt in weapons, raw materials, mercenaries, herbage, corn,
and ships. But you only can deal with people already known by you or you got to know
from your scout on the map.

Develop External Libraries for CanDo?
Hereby I offer all programmers a development kit which allows the creation
of external function libraries for CanDo.
The library support was written in SAS/C, but can be adapted to
Maxon or Storm with little effort. Both, synchronous as well as asynchronous
function execution (by sub-task), are possible. An example is included which
illustrates the way it works.
The library gets opened from CanDo by the command...
OpenLibrary {library name} [,{buffer name}]
...and...
result=CallLibrary(buffer name,function [,arg1,arg2,...,arg10])
...will call the function.
Asynchronously executed functions are caught by the object "ExternalEvent".
The entire documentation and all comments are written in English. The archive
(280 kb) can be requested from youcan@amclust.de.

New Drivers for NetBSD
NetBSD-current, the development branch of NetBSD, was extended with drivers
for some more ISDN cards.
Currently are supported:
- BSC ISDN Master 2092/64 (1)
- ITH ISDN Master II 5000/1 (1)
- VMC ISDN Blaster 5001/1 (1)
- BSC ISDN Master II 2092/64
- Zeus ISDN Link 2189/3
- Individual ISDN Surfer 4626/5
(1) also in NetBSD-1.5 + isdb4bsd
These drivers are in NetBSD-current and thus will be shipped in NetBSD-1.6.
Testers are asked to test the new drivers on their experimental machines (as
far as possible); production machines should still run NetBSD-1.5 (with the
isdn4bsd package if necessary).
More information:

Ideas2Reality.
This is a A500 like device at £300 with the following features:
- PowerPC (200 MHz)
- Graphic system (OpenGL compatible)
- 5 USB-Ports
- 2 Firewire-Ports
- 16 MB FlashROM
- DVD-Drive
- Optional harddrive
For operating systems QNX RTP and Linux will be utilized. But the
company also is interested in other operating systems and for this
hands over to third-party companies the system documentations.
More information can be taken form John Chandler's text under the

Telepolis: Online Readers Are Less Informed
»- and Less Controllable by the Editorial Staff
An investigation on different behavior in reading of print and online issues
of the NYTimes complains about missing visual indicators and detention to
pure value of the new inside online media.
How does on read news? Contrary to a newspaper, which is bought as a whole and normally
you run over the pages in part at least, whereby you possibly occasionally recognize
something you originally maybe didn't want to read, you single out much more when you
read online. But this maybe also would mean that little by little your point of view
takes in more and more, even more by personalized offers.«

Amiga, Inc.: New Executive Update by Bill McEwen
February 06, 2001
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 Arena - Special Price Project!
In cooperation with Bernhard Lindner Amiga Arena makes possible a special price
for T.U.M.M.Y! which is a little specialized database managing a big base of cards
of the card-game collection Magic The Gathering (>6700 cards).
The program's particular fortitude are the extremely powerful search functions
allowing to search for any card by almost any criteria imaginable. Many
enhancements are planned for the future, but strongly depend on number of
registrations.
Amiga Arena - AmiAtlas Special Price Project!
Still until 28 February 2001 AmiAtlas is available for special price.
Andreas Regul did NOT stop development of AmiAtlas! (But he just cannot continue
development himself.) He still is looking for a programmer for further development.
Also hobby developers are addressed by this! If interested please mail to

FinalExecute as Open Source
By order of my son Matthias I've uploaded the last version of
the popular FinalExecute to AMINET including source code.
The source code is available for free, all rights remain with the
author. By doing this Matthias finally says good by to the AMIGA.

SPIEGEL: Jenny E. of the New Economy
In the current issue of the SPIEGEL (German magazine), in the context of
an article about the shady scheming of the former hacker Kim "Kimble"
Schmitz, on page 128 the following sentence is written:
"Already as a teenager Schmitz realized that one can do much more than
just playing "Pac-Man" with an Amiga computer. Pretendedly he invaded
the secure systems of the NASA, Pentagon, and Citibank. Soon he got the
aura to be a computer genius. But this version is vehemently mistrusted inside
the hacker scene."
A very interesting article making clear that genius and (megalo)mania
are very close neighbours.

Desktop Replacement for Windows
The program "WorkbenchOnWin" (only 364kB) makes it easy to give every
Windows-Desktop the look'n feel of an Amiga-Workbench. The topical version is an
early alpha version and no emulation of an Amiga.
Download: wow.zip
I am very keen on the future versions. With some knowledge of the Windows
registry it is possible to completely replace the Windows-Desktop.
