As promised (sooner as planned), wARPgATe has been reopened. At the address www.w-9.de, you can again read the latest news and informations about WarpOP and Warp3D. The design has been completely reworked, and looks really great. Some new features will follow in the next days. I hope for large support from all developers, and of course many visitors! A forum specifically for this subject has also been implemented. Just have a look. Have a lot of fun! (Translation: mb)

Quake 1.09 by Frank Wille released
The Beta-Release of Quake 1.09 supports AGA, CGX, chunkyppc.library (Screen, Public Screen, WB Window, Double-Triple buffering, P96 PiP), Amiga Keyboard, -mouse, - joystick, TCP/IP, Sound (audio.device) and CD-Audio playback. It is available from Frank Wille`s webpage (title link). For a detailed how-to please read the manual.

These is also the new version 0.7d of the ppclibemu available. It emulates the ppc.library and PowerUP kernel under WarpOS. An own ELF-LoadSeg patch is included, and allows many (some?) PowerUP programs to run just like on the original environment. The programs that run don't show a significant performance penalty. Some of the programs even run faster under ppclibemu than under Phase5`s original kernel. (Translation: mb)

AmZeiger Issue #10 online
Sorry to say that with this edition we had many problems to overcome. Due to acute timimg problems we missed an edition and then our HTML editor jumped ship, so that we had to do the HTML coding ourselves.

Therefore for a while only the Amigaguide edition was available. Now edition 10 is also available online.

One other negative note... Edition 11 will be our last. For an explanation why, please read our editorial. (Translation: mb)

Amiga Yellow Pages closed, Amiga Rediscovery re-opened
Micheal Carillo has closed his "Amiga Yellow Page" due to pressure he received from "BT Yellow Pages" concerning the similiar names. Read more details about it.

Depite this - or in spite of, he has begun a new project, Amiga Rediscovery. At Amiga Rediscovery you will find old Amiga games, demoes and coverdisks for free download - starting with the clasic demo "Fury of the Furries". There are also other demos such as the Christmas Lemmings demo. For Amiga nostalgia freaks a real treasure trove. (Translation: mb)

Ragonsoft Directory Lister (RDL) for Amiga?
There is right now only a Windows version of the software available, but if RDL becomes a success, RDL will also be made available for Amiga. The same is generally true for all our projects, e.g. BusinessHome. However BusinessHome is currently troubled by a hard drive problem and probably has to be rewritten.

Back to RDL... :-), I will try to explain what RDL is capable of. RDL creates a list from a directory including all subdirectories. This list is written to a text file (DIR-LIST.TXT).

Since RDL does not overwrite DIR-LIST.TXT files, but expands them, the list can be continuously extended. So you can create an overview over 5 PCs or 100 CDs in one RDL file, e.g. for sending it to somebody.

Thanks to a filter you can create a list of .wav files or .mp3 files only. RDL was intended for personal use only, now everyone can get it. If you are interested in a port, contact Imperator. (Translation: mb)

Warp3D 3.0 available
The changes are mostly internal, new functions in the API, and support for a new feature of the Permedia 2 (Chroma keying). For the user, the archive offers the possibility to use MiniGL compiled programs, like the upcoming GLQuake. There's also a small MiniGL-compiled demo in the archive, to give you an idea of what's to come :)

Please note that this is only the user archive, I'm currently putting finishing touches to the developer stuff, and hopefully this will be available this weekend (But don't kick me if it isn't :)

If you find any bugs, please let me know. It's been tested mainly with the CGX 4 driver, and it will probably not work with Picasso96 V2 (there where some changes in P96 V2 that prevent Warp3D from working), but it should work with the 1.4x release.

Heise [Newsticker]


Heise: Microsoft in court: Will the Windows sourcecode be made public?
«Bill Gates apparently agrees to make the Windows sourcecode public if this can make an agreement in the anti-trust-proceedings against Microsoft possible. At least the American business TV Bloomberg-TV made this claim after an interview with the ex-Microsoft boss and current Chief Software Architect of the software company from Redmond. The denial by Microsoft came immediately: Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan rejected the information as "not true". Gates only said that the company would do its best to achieve an agreement with the US government.

Bloomberg, though, sticks to its report despite the denial. Bill Gates would indeed have stated Microsoft would not make the Windows sourcecode public to compete with other open-source-systems. According to Bloomberg, he emphasized that the "closed" sourcecode would make Windows more reliable. But he would have stated in reply to the question what would make a "reasonable" solution for reaching a settlement out of court: "If we can have an agreement, we will do our best to achieve it". After the end of the TV recording of the interview, Gates would have replied to the direct question whether this would include the disclosure of the Windows sourcecodes explicitely with "yes". "If that is all that's necessary", Gates added according to Bloomberg with a smile.»

StrICQ


StrICQ becomes Open Source
Douglas F. McLaughlin has decided to release the sourcecode of the current StrICQ version under the GNU conditions. Douglas won't stop the development of StrICQ, but will make a new version. Currently, he's planning for version 2.0 which will be called StrICQ+ and which will contain many new features.

Those interested in adding their own improvements or extensions to the current sourcecode may do this as long as they accept the GNU Public License conditions. Also, they should put their extensions at the author's disposal.

Douglas will program version 2.0 in C++ and not any longer in C. He cannot start with it, though, before he finished moving into his new house. Douglas further declares that at the beginning he intended only to write a small ICQ client and that he has learned so much in the last two years that he's now confidential to make with version 2.0, which will be rewritten from the scrap up, a really good ICQ client.
