Subject     News

Here's something to think about for customers, who are planning to buy an
image manipulation program..

Image Engineer
Visual Engineering

Once upon time..


On the shelf of the computer store were 3 image manipulation programs.
Customer was wondering, which one should he buy. One of the programs told
him to by it, because it's best image processing software for Amiga. Another
proclaim itself best program in the whole world. Customer ask from third one
the same question. Third one answered with a grin on his face; "I'm not as
well known as those others. I'm only best on this shelf.."

"And what's is your name", customer asked smiling.

"Image Engineer", program answered.

"And why would I buy you", customer wondered.

"Please, take a seat. This might take a minute."


"Like everyone seems used to say, me either aren't like the others. I'd say
I'm something brand-new, if this was the case, but I'm the same program than
2 years ago. Even then I was unusual program. I could do hundreds of things
that couldn't be possible with others. Someone might say they aren't needed
or they could be better, but that's just lies. Other programs have Big
Effects, you are forced to use, but I'm build of small effects. By combining
them together, you can build these big effects (if you wish) or create your
own ones. As I always open new window after an effect, you always see all
the material on my screen at once. With tutorials included with me and
tutorials at my website, you'll get the idea. Sometimes you ofcourse just
want to load an image and press "Go". A good friend of mine has combined
these small effects together, so (for example) all you need to do for
creating a puzzle from image, you just press a mouse button.. well, twice.."

"Did this thing have a name", customer asks.

"Under name, Visual Engineering, there's many add-ons to be used with me.
They are separate products, but their power can also be combined together.
My friend is a nice guy, he gives most of them for free. Some of them are
very complex (but still user friendly) and have been so time consuming, that
it is just fair to ask a small registration fee from them.."

"There's one thing, that bothers me..", customer starts and continues then:
"If there's many small effects for you to calculate, then can you really
handle it all in reasonable time?"

"Sure. I've always been fast, whatever I do. Question you should ask is, can

   Before you start working on a petition, I'd like you to consider a few
things first. An open source AmigaOS is not going to cure all the problems we
are facing today. If you are going to ask for support, also ask why exactly you
want AmigaOS to go Open Source. What may come out of the equation might not be
what you are expecting. For example, AmigaOS is protected by a number of
patents of which the first may run out in the year 2003. Making the operating
system open source does not necessarily include the option that Gateway will
also hand over the patents. One such patent covers the way pull-down menus are
drawn on the Amiga. To avoid patent infringement, one would have to make major
changes to Intuition. Next thing, the name "Amiga" is a trademark, so is
"Kickstart", so is "Workbench", so is "AmigaGuide", so is "AmigaDOS" and a
number of other names. One would need to get permission to use these
trademarks, even for such innocent things as "amigaguide.library",
"workbench.library", etc. which concern the API. If you can't use those names,
you get into real trouble since the names are associated with the AmigaOS
programming interface. And don't forget that the material that ships on a
Workbench disk and the code and data you find in ROM is not exclusively owned
by Gateway. There is 3rd party material included which Commodore used to
license either in binary form or as a special kind of source code license
which did not allow for redistribution. This means for example, an open source
AmigaOS would not include ARexx, the Fountain/bullet.library font rasterizer,
CrossDOS, 68040.library, mathffp.library, the mathieee libraries, none of the
Adobe bitmap fonts, none of the AGFA CompuGraphic fonts, etc. Next comes the
question of build tools: a source code is dead material unless you can build a
working product from it. And AmigaOS is built using a variety of 3rd party
tools for which Commodore used to obtain licenses which did not allow for
redistribution either: part of the operating system is built using a `C'
compiler developed by Green Hills, Inc. You won't be able to use that compiler
without a license, and their products aren't cheap.

Ok, so far I have only touched some of the issues involved, but there are
plenty more (such as involving quality: most open source projects suffer from
ineffective to inexistant quality control; once this happens to AmigaOS, you
can expect most of the commercial developers left in the market to abandon
ship). The general impression I got so far is that the people who ask for
making AmigaOS open source do not realize what it is they would be getting.
Worse, they don't even know exactly why they are asking for it. All by itself,
the source code won't help us. There's plenty more to take into consideration.

Take great care, as it may be possible that Gateway, unaware of the details,
may make the decision to turn the AmigaOS source code loose, but fail to
provide for the means to allow it to survive. Then AmigaOS will be really
dead, killed by legal restrictions.

   Credit where credit is due, the issue was originally raised by
Holger Kruse on a private mailing list. I have both abridged and
tried to add to his original argumentation (for example, the
term "open source" is very loosely defined today; one would have
to agree on a common definition).

   I tried to keep the message neutral. Making AmigaOS Open Source may
work out, but there are risks attached to such an attempt which may make
it impractical. Whether this makes it a good or a bad idea is a decision
that's up to the reader. I used to advocate making AmigaOS Open Source,
but Holger made me reconsider.

Subject:   Softwave Announces a new CD based Amiga Magazine

For Immediate Release

Napoli, Italy, 25 October 1999

Web Site: http://www.skylink.it/ear

Dear Amigans,

My name is Giorgio Signori, and I am the director of Softwave, a new company
born in Italy this summer. I have been writing on the only Italian Amiga
magazine, Enigma Amiga Run, in the past years, and I am in Amiga
environment since years. After years writing for Amiga, I decided to build
up a new company to publish an Amiga-only, CD-based magazine. After a lot
of work, at the Amiga show Softwave was there with the first issue of
Amiga.it, showed during the conference with Petro Tyschtschenko. After
this, we decided to publish Amiga.it, under the name Amiga.news, also
outside Italy. We put much effort in this, translating, for now, the whole
magazine in English. We will show and sell the first issue of Amiga.news at
the next Home Electronics World of Cologne, on 12-14 November.

We hope that the public response will be enough to convince us to keep doing
a multi-language magazine also for the next issues. If so, since the 3rd
issue, we will translate it also in German, as many of you already
requested. In the next days in the site www.skylink.it/ear will be published
the summary of
the first issue.

But now, some of the highlights of Amiga.news:

The magazine part count many important writers here in Italy. Editors like
ing. Massimo Gais, system administrator of the Italian Aminet node and of
the Astronomic Observatory of Naples, like ing. Alessio Cappelli, expert in
Amiga and NetBSD environments. People like Massimo Marino, writer for the
biggest selling videogames magazine in Italy, The Games Machine, and Nick
Mordock, experienced Amiga writer since years. Not to mention Andrea
Favini, the 3000+ staff and Laura Falzone, writers of proved experience.

The CD part of Amiga.news differs from what we are used to see on the
market. it will not be a simple shareware collection. Of course it will
contain the recent shareware software from month to month, with index and
search function, but it will be thematic. The first issue of Amiga.it,
published only in Italian, had Linux as theme of the month, with a
RedHatPPC distribution and a serie of articles dedicated to installation of
Linux, but not only. Every month a different theme will fill the CD. I can
anticipate that on the issue that will be presented at Cologne, there will
be a much requested Linux68k/RedHat68 distribution, and a special on Star
Wars on Amiga.

I am available for every question, I will be happy to give all the answers
you may need, if you are a user or an Amiga distributor/reseller. You can
find me at the mailbox yurex@tin.it.

Giorgio Signori
Director of Softwave

The Best of Airsoft Softwair CD-ROM
-----------------------------------

Pünktlich zur Home Electronics World `99 in Köln wird die
'The Best of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM erscheinen. Diese CD-ROM
ist eine Kollektion von fast allen Programmen, die jeweils
von der Usergruppe Airsoft Softwair veröffentlicht wurden.
Alle Shareware Veröffentlichungen von Airsoft Softwair sind
selbstverständlich als uneingeschränkte Vollversionen auf
der CD-ROM enthalten. Auch viele der übrigen Programme wurden
nochmals überarbeitet und sind in brandneuen Version auf
der CD-ROM vorhanden.

Folgende exklusive Vollversionen sind auf der 'The Best of Airsoft Softwair'
CD-ROM vorhanden:

- CD32 Games Install Kit v3.1NG

und noch vieles mehr!

Das CD32 Games Install Kit v3.1 Next Generation ist das
Ergebnis einer fast kompletten Neuprogrammierung des beliebten
CD32 Games Install Kits, welches CD32 Spiele auf Festplatte
installiert und diese von dort aus auch lauffähig macht.
Momentan werden über 170 CD32 Spiele unterstützt, von denen
auch viele auf Amigas ohne den AGA Chipsatz mittels des
CD32 Games Install Kit lauffähig sind. Diese Version besitzt
viele neue Features wie z.B. einen direkt integrierten CD32
Emulator, einem komplett neuen viel stabileren Bootsystem
(Install2001NG) und außerdem bietet das CD32 Games Install Kit
jetzt erstmals die Möglichkeit, auch nicht vordefinierte CD32
Spiele zu installieren. Damit besteht also die Möglichkeit
fast jedes CD32 Spiel zu installieren (!!).

Der bekannte Da Cool Installer ist ebenfalls in einer
neuen, vielmals überarbeiteten Version auf der CD-ROM
vorhanden. Da Cool Installer erlaubt es dem Benutzer mittels
einer einfachen Prozedur viele Sorten von Spielen auf
der Festplatte zu installieren. Der Vorteil von Da Cool
Installer liegt darin, dass eine generelle Methode benutzt
wird, um die Spiele zu installieren. So lässt sich fast
jedes Spiel ohne weitere Probleme installieren. Da Cool
Installer unterstützt dabei eine trackdisk.device Emulation,
Spiele über mehrere Disketten, Degrade2ECS Unterstützung,
Installation von DMS gepackten Disketten sowie vieles
mehr.

NewInstaller ist das ultimative Multimedia Addon zu dem
veralteten Commodore Installer. Mittels NewInstaller ist
es jetzt erstmals möglich, Installation mit Sounds, Bildern
und vielen anderen Multimedia Elementen auszustatten. So
kann NewInstaller auch Online Registrationen verwalten,
Homepages zum Besuch anbieten, UnInstall Skripte erzeugen
und viel mehr. Dazu kommt die Möglichkeit, Commodore Installer
Skripte vom NewInstaller einfach automatisch erstellen zu
lassen, d.h. es wird einfach das Verzeichnis des zu
installierenden Programms angegeben und sofort generiert
NewInstaller ein Installationsskript für das Programm,
welches genau an dessen Bedürfnisse angepasst ist.
NewInstaller ist ein Muss für jeden Amiga Besitzer!

Auch das ultimative Bootprogramm Rainboot für den Amiga ist
auf der CD-ROM in einer vielfach erweiterten und verbesserten
Pro-Version vorhanden. Rainboot ermöglicht es dem Benutzer,
komplette Multimedia Shows während dem Bootvorgang anzuzeigen.
Die Palette der Features reicht dabei von der Unterstützung
von Animationen, Sounds, Copper Regenbögen, Passwortschutz,
Pinseln, verschiedenen Schriften, Modulen, Fades, CyberGraphX
und Picasso96, Boot Fortschrittsanzeigen, Auslesen der Daten des
Amiga Systems bis hin zu grafischen Effekten und dem Scrollen
von Bildern. In der Pro-Version ist es jetzt erstmals möglich
mehrere Animationen einzubinden, eine Steuerung zu den
Konfigurationen hinzuzufügen und vieles mehr. Rainboot ist
ein einzigartiges Programm, was in Leistungsumfang und
Effektivität bisher weder auf dem Amiga noch auf dem PC
übertroffen wurde.

Damit auch jeder seine Rainboot Konfigurationen auf eine
einfache Art und Weise erstellen kann, wird auf der CD-ROM
auch noch eine exklusive Vollversion vom Rainboot Configuration
Creator, RCC genannt, mitgeliefert. Dieses Programm ermöglicht
es mittels einer grafischen Benutzeroberfläche kinderleicht
Konfigurationen für Rainboot zu erstellen. Der RCC unterstützt
fast alle Rainboot Funktionen und ermöglicht auch eine
Weiterbearbeitung von schon vorhandenen Rainboot Konfigurationen.
Dazu bietet er eine umfangreiche Online Hilfe, die direkt
aus der Oberfläche heraus angesprochen wird. Für jeden Rainboot
Benutzer ist der RCC praktisch ein Muss.

Auf der 'The Best of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM ist also
für jeden Geschmack einiges dabei. Sowohl für den ernsthaften
Anwender als auch für den Zocker. Die CD-ROM ist das Ergebnis
jahrelanger Arbeit am Amiga und sollte in keiner Sammlung
fehlen. Außerdem steht sie in einem einfach unschlagbaren
Preis/Leistungs-Verhältnis. Obwohl eine Registration der
in Vollversionen auf der CD-ROM enthaltenen Shareware
Programme schon über 60 DM kosten würde, ist die CD-ROM
für nur 29.95 DM zu haben.  Und da man noch viel mehr
auf der CD-ROM bekommt als 'nur' die Vollversionen, ist
der Preis nahezu unschlagbar.

Die 'The Best of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM erscheint
pünktlich zur Messe in Köln beim APC&TCP zu einem empfohlenen
Verkaufspreis von 29.95 DM.

The Best of Airsoft Softwair CD-ROM
-----------------------------------

At the Home Electronics World `99 in Cologne the 'The Best of
Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM will be released. This CD-ROM is
a collection of nearly all programs, which have ever been released
by the usergroup Airsoft Softwair. All Shareware releases by
Airsoft Softwair are as full versions on the CD-ROM of course.
Many of the programs have been reworked and are available in

of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM:

- CD32 Games Install Kit v3.1NG

- RandomStartup
- SNES9xGUI
- Sounds
- The 3 Islands Giga Preview (over 130MB!) with videos and more
- The 3 Islands playable Preview
- TUP
- XTreme Mod

and alot more!

The CD32 Games Install Kit v3.1 Next Generation is the result
of a nearly complete rewrite of the famous CD32 Games Install
Kit, which installs CD32 games to harddisk and patches them
to run from there. Actually over 170 CD32 games are directly
supported. Many of them do even run on Amigas without the
AGA chipset. This version has alot of new features like for
example an integrated CD32 emulator, a complete new and much
more stable bootsystem (Install2001NG) and additionally there`s
now the possibility to install even non predefined CD32 games.
So it`s possible to install nearly every CD32 game to harddisk (!!).

The well known Da Cool Installer is also available in a new,
many times reworked version on the CD-ROM. Da Cool Installer
allows the user to install all sort of games to his harddisk.
The advantage of Da Cool Installer is, that it uses a general
method of installing the games. So it`s possible to install
nearly every game without problems. Da Cool Installer supports
a trackdisk.device emulation, games with more than one disk,
Degrade2ECS support, installation of crunched DMS disks and
many more.

NewInstaller is the ultimate multimedia addon for the old
Commodore Installer. With NewInstaller it`s now possible
to add graphics, sounds and other multimedia elements to
an installation. Even Online Registrations can be maintained
by NewInstaller. Other features are for example the possibility
to visit homepages, creating UnInstall scripts and much
more. Additionally it`s possible to make NewInstaller create
scripts for the Commodore Installer automatically.
NewInstaller only needs to know the path of the program
to be installed and it will generate the script according
to the program automatically. NewInstaller is a must-have
for all Amiga owners!

The ultimate multimedia boot, Rainboot, is also on the CD-ROM
in a much improved and extended Pro-version. Rainboot allows
the user to show complete boot shows during the bootup. Rainboot
supports nearly everything you can think of: Animations, sounds,
copper rainbows, password protection, brushes, different fonts,
modules, fades, CyberGraphX and Picasso96 support, progressbars,
retrieving and displaying information about the used Amiga
system, graphical effects, scrolling of pictures and much much
more. In the Pro-version it`s now possible to use more than
one animation, add user-controls to the configurations and much
more. So it`s now also possible to create real multimedia
applications with Rainboot. Rainboot is a unique program, which
has neither been beaten in features and effectivity on Amiga nor
on PC.

In order that everyone is able to create his own Rainboot
configurations in an easy way, the Rainboot Configuration
Creator, called RCC, is also contained in a full version
on the CD-ROM. This program makes it possible with the
help of a graphical user interface to offer a very easy
way of creating own Rainboot configurations. The RCC
supports the most Rainboot functions and allows also
reediting of already created Rainboot configurations.
Additionally it has a wide Online help, which can be
accessed directly from the interface of RCC. For every
Rainboot user the RCC is a must-have!

The 'The Best of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM is something for
everyone. For serious users as well as for gamers. The
CD-ROM is the result of many years of work on Amiga and should
not miss any collection. Additionally the CD-ROM is very
cheap. Registering each Shareware program apart would cost
over 60 DM and the CD-ROM costs only 29.95 DM. And as there`s
much more software than 'just' the full versions on the
CD-ROM, the price is nearly unbeatable.

The 'The Best of Airsoft Softwair' CD-ROM will be released
by APC&TCP at the show in Cologne for an advised price of
29.95 DM.

Subject:       PR: The Amiga RC5 Team effort celebrates second
                   aniversary of RC5-64 challenge


FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
October 22nd 1999

The Amiga RC5 Team effort celebrates second anniversary of RC5-64 challenge

The Amiga RC5 Team effort has now been participating for two years in the
Distributed.Net/RC5-64 challenge. During the first two years of the effort
we managed to reach a ranking of fifth overall out of over 8000 teams with
a total of 200,000 participants. There are now over 2000 people
participating under the Amiga team, accounting for about 1.1% of all the
work done (or 110 million blocks of 2^28 keys).

During this period, 14% of the keyspace has been searched, progressing 2.5
times faster in the second year compared to the first. At current growth
rate the correct key will be found within the next two years, whereas this
was previously thought to take a century or more, clearly showing how good
encryption and the free availability thereof is important to security and
privacy on the Internet and elsewhere.

The Amiga RC5 Team effort focuses on bringing exposure to the Amiga and the
community spirit and strives to achieve this by ranking high in distributed
computing projects such as the RC5 and DES challenges, using otherwise idle
computing power only.

With your help, we hope to increase our momentum and show the world the
Amiga is not dead, in spite of a total lack of support from parent
companies over the past five years. There is still plenty to come, with the
recent release of AmigaOS 3.5, and upcoming G3 and G4 accelerators and
peripherals. A G4/AltiVec optimized client could be as much as four times
faster MHz for MHz as current code, and only a few hundred people upgrading
would propel us into the top 3 if not higher (over 660 Amigas participating
in the effort are already PowerPC equipped). Also, work on an
improved/faster 68k client is still progressing.

Everyone is cordially invited to join, with any kind of machine, though one
Amiga at least is appreciated. For a full explanation of what the effort is
about, where we are heading, how to participate and everything from
statistics to member listings, please visit the Amiga RC5 Team effort
homepage at http://distributed.amiga.org

The Amiga RC5 Team effort is also providing a mailinglist as a forum for
the discussion on above topics and the effort in general.


Sincerely,

Amiga RC5 Team effort coordinator

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 We live in anomalous times. There's so much to think and talk about
within the Amiga community, and yet there's not that much real news.
It's possible we'll have to scale back our target of two AUs a month
for a while. Regardless, we'll bring you the news when it happens.
 Our other role is to provide entertaining rumors. We don't know how
entertaining the current rumors are, but here's what we've picked up
lately. Remember, these are all just rumors. First, Amiga the company
is all but gone. The AmigaObjects project is cancelled. Rick LeFaivre
has gone on to other Gateway work. The new employees brought in by Jim
Collas during his days at the helm of Amiga are all laid off. Dr.
Havemose is gone also. Second, Amiga International in Germany will be
disbanded at the end of this month. They're only being kept around to
sell the remaining stock of Amiga items.
 Is there any truth to either of those rumors? We don't know, but
they've been getting enough circulation on line that we thought we'd
include them here. Remember, just rumors ...
 On a much more positive note, we've communicated with Fleecy Moss
about Amino, Aqua and the Phoenix Consortium. Here's some of what he
had to say to us:

 "Bill [McEwen] and I have formed a company called Amino Development,
LLC, which we intend to use to provide THE total digital convergence
solution that the world will use. To do this, we intend to partner
with various outstanding companies which, we feel, develop products in
a manner that is in harmony with the Amiga philosophy. However, we are
not going to target talking ovens and flashing watches, and tell the
Amiga community that this is their future, we are going to apply a
dual market approach, one that speaks to both the global digital
convergence market, and one that speaks exclusively to the anti
wintel, something different, power user, philosophy before profit
market that found a natural home with the classic Amiga.

 "Phoenix is a group of developers that want to create an environment
and organisation in which they can work together for common standards,
mutual benefit etc. We are a member, but we are not the driving force
behind it. We are as equal as every other developer in the
organisation.

 "AQUA is the name of the architecture that we intend to develop.

 "We don't want to say too much, and in fact didn't want to say
anything until we had partners, money and staff. The Amiga community
has had too many dreams turn into dust and we don't want to be another
one, but the depression after the Collas and Schmidt announcements was
so deep that we felt just a small announcement was warranted.

 "Over the next few weeks, we hope to complete the creation of our
company and will release more then. If it all falls apart, then it all
falls apart, and we apologise in advance...we are trying though..."

 Something tells me no apologies will be required even if it falls
apart. I think most Amigans are just pleased that someone is trying to
build a future we can participate in. It's going to be a tough fight,
but there are a lot of us on your side. We'd like to point out to the
readers that it's very early days yet for all of these items, so be
patient. We'll keep you apprised of progress, and we'll include a few
juicy rumors, clearly labeled, as they come along also.

 Below we have a mixed bag of news this time around - some good, some
not so good. That's the way it is right now, and probably will be for
a while. One thing to keep in mind though - while there's news, we're
not dead yet, and the future can still be shaped.
 One quick word about letters. We've been receiving a great number of
letters from readers lately - no surprise there! We regret that we
can't answer them all and aplogize to the writers of those we've had
to leave out. Please don't stop writing - it's important to us to know
what our readers our thinking.

E-mail to the E-ditor:

11 Oct 1999

We are running four Amiga 2000 computers with Video Toasters.  I am
concerned about Y2K problems with the Amigas.  Should I be?

Larry

Thanks.
~~~~~~
Larry,
 As far as I know, there's nothing to be worried about. Can the
readers enlighten us about Y2K problems with Amigas running Toasters?
Anything there to be concerned about, including perhaps with utilities
often used with Toasters?
 Thanks,
 Brad

Brad -

 After reading Mr. Schmidt's 14 Sep 99 letter, I was very disappointed
with AI's new plans. I remind Mr. Schmidt we could have had an
Amiga-based set-top-box two years ago from Viscorp! I only hope AI
will have a liberal enough licensing program to allow current Amiga
developers (and the Phoenix Platform Consortium) to continue with
their ideas of what a new Amiga should be.

 Since we likely won't be seeing new generation Amigas soon, is anyone
making the A4000T? Quikpak supposedly reached an agreement with the
German attorney (regarding their inventory of A4000 parts) quite some
time ago. Is the company that ended up with those parts now producing
A4000Ts? I haven't heard any followup on this subject from any Amiga
news source.

Thanks for Amiga Update.

Mike
~~~~~~
Mike,
 My understanding was the A4000 parts once owned by QuikPak were sent
to Amiga Int. in Germany. I have no idea what has happened to them
since; whether actual units have been made from them or not. If anyone
knows, please tell us and we'll pass the information along.
 Thanks,
 Brad

Dear Brad

 It is a sad time but not unusual for those of us devoted to the Amiga
concept. I still look forward to this letter in my mailbox and thanks
for at least trying to disseminate some information. I hope the
Phoenix lives up to its name.

 I am still here as are thousands of others. I am upgrading my 2000
big box because the damn thing at 10 years old is STILL MORE STABLE
than windows 95 and 98!! and I still like voyager aweb and ibrowse
better than ie5 and netscape ( though Netscape has potential)

 the 060 and egs board are on order

 Now if I can get the hang of Linux...

Dan
~~~~~~
Dan,
 Like you, I have great hopes for the Phoenix Consortium, the Amino
company and the Amiga community working together. Some of the best
Amiga minds from throughout our history are involved in the various
facets of this potential rebirth.If anyone can launch a computer's
rebirth , Amigans can. We'll keep you posted.

 MY barely computer-literate daughter told me today about some great
device that looks like a turtle (LOGO??) that you plug into your
computer and then you draw lines on the screen and the device vaccuums
the floor in the pattern you have drawn.

Is THIS what Gateway is going to do with the Amiga?????

It makes me sick at my stomach!

Macey
~~~~~~
Macey,
 Yours is one of the scariest letters is seen in a while! It would be
bitter irony indeed if Gateway could go so far as to make us hate the
name Amiga because of what they put it on. Better to drop the name
entirely.

{Note: this item was posted to the Net by Mr. Ortmann. Brad}

2 Oct 1999

 This morning, I attended the Iwin press conference in Unterhaching.

 Although in theory, 23 people should have come (there was room for
30, and according to [1], "7 places are still available"), there were
only *three* guests (and I hadn't even bothered to apply for an
invitation), the other two being from http://www.amiga-news.de/ (a
more detailed report should appear there tonight).

 Martin Steinbach arrived with nothing but ten copies of the Iwin
"press kit", consisting of printouts of the PDF files we already know
(product specs and the five-year roadmap), plus two sample ads ("Would
you like this to be your new girlfriend? - Everything you were
dreaming fo for such a long time" and "High end computing for
game-console prices! Las amigas vuelven en casa..."). There was no
video (as promised on [1]: "Iwin - an introduction") and no "Iwin
Insurance 1.0" or "Iwin VideoStore" presentations.

 We had a three-hour talk with Martin. Unfortunately, he failed to
give a single convincing answer during that time. He claimed that the
Iwin custom chips were basically UAE source code cast in silicon and
that the sample chip design and production was done mostly for free by
their hardware partners. He tried to explain the fact that he is a
Merant employee with tax reasons (about the photos posted at
compcity.nl, he claimed that some of them showed the Merant office,
while the others showed the actual Iwin office, and the Merant
pictures "should not have been published"). Regarding Tulip and the
"Commodore" name, he stated that the price doubled from 18 to 36
million (he didn't specify a currency - I believe he meant Austrian
Schillings, as he is from Austria) after an interview was published
early. He said that "black boxes" will be shown during the
Indianapolis show on the upcoming weekend, but made conflicting
statements about the meaning of "black box" (just empty boxes vs.
working beta hardware) and that they would not attend HEW due to
problems with AInc. Germany. Regarding the fake files in the download
section, he refused to give an answer and told me to ask Rue Ann
instead.

 The Holiday Inn lunch buffet was okay. Of course, most of the seats
remained unused. :-)

 I left with lots of promises (he wants to send me the missing video,
a *working* PowerSE demo CD and tons of info material) and the uneasy
feeling of having been lied to for three hours in a row.

 On Monday, the 4th of October negotiations with "FOCKE SYSTEMS
Ges.m.b.H" in Austria were finished resulting in a takeover of Iwin
Corporation. Negotiations already started a month ago, but both
parties were forced to keep silent during the negotiations.

 Focke Systems Ges.m.b.H first announced that the management will
stay, but in a rushly called in meeting last night, the President of
Focke Systems Ges.m.b.H - Mr. Gerhard Frank - announced that the
management of Iwin Corporation will be replaced. Only Rue Ann Mark
will stay as CEO and Chairman of the new firm "Iwin Hardware
Products". Iwin Corporation will be split into three new independent
firms. "Iwin Software Products" which will continue the development of
Server and workstation computers and the C-Series. "Iwin Consulting"
which will be responsible for installations, support and training. New
CEO's, presidents and chairmans have to be found for "Iwin Consulting"
and "Iwin Software Products". A seperate press-release will be sent
out as soon as they have been found and elected.

 The current management has resigned from their positions. Martin
Steinbach and Peter Steck will continue to be available for "Iwin
Hardware Products" and "Iwin Software Products" for general questions.

14 Oct 1999

To all Amiga emulation users,


 Blittersoft would like to make a statement regarding the response to
the Fusion PPC Amiga situation.

 Whilst Microcode Solutions announced the 60 day countdown on
September 20th, there was not the required 500 prepayments that were
supposed to trigger this.

 As announced by Microcode Solutions, Blittersoft made the commitment
for 500 orders to enable this product to actually see the light of
day. This was made with some confidence given the many users who
stated they would pay after the countdown began.

 Unfortunately, despite over 600 pledges, we have seen about a third
actually prepay. Many have declined to authorise and the situation is
that we have backed this process believing the Amiga community who
made a commitment would actually follow through and keep their word.
This is despite the countdown being close to half way.

 Whilst I accept that there will be those who circumstances may effect
the ability to complete their pledge, I think it is fair to say that
this would cater for a handful. It is sad to report that many people
who pledged must have done so without ever considering the
consequences of failing to meet this pledge.

 Well, the consequences are that Blittersoft will not make this type
of gesture again. The same situation could well happen with the PCx PC
software. Again, there have been many requests (about 350) and it is
Microcode's intention is to begin the countdown for this after the
Fusion PPC is released and 500 pledges become 500 payments.

 Blittersoft will be prepared to make the same gesture and back the
product to the tune of 500 orders if we receive the level of support
promised by the Amiga emulation community.

 Everyone knows the situation with Amiga development. Piracy is still
a big problem and now it seems that even planned schemes to secure
development can also not be trusted.

 The bottom line is that the Amiga needs quality support by it's users
if there is still to be quality development.

 I will end with a simple request:

 If you did pledge your suppport to pre-pay Fusion PPC and have not
done so, please reconsider and do so now.

Best wishes,


Paul Lesurf
Blittersoft

 Just in case you've not heard, the new Amiga magazine AmigActive is
on sale in newsagents now. It looks pretty good to me, nice and
glossy, it's not as thick as we'd like, but the content appears to be
high. There's also a 35 meg (I think) demo of T-Zero on the cover
disk. From what I've seen the magazine looks like a fine effort, well
worth checking out.

Future of Amiga Statement

 In our opinion, the Amiga - as we know it - simply is dead.

 And this since years.

 There's still a number of software delivered, that at least somehow
 has kept the so-called Amiga community alive so far, but in our
 opinion it's more than unlikely that we ever will face
 a real Amiga successor, that does provide a sufficient
 level of backward compatibility, thus being able to build
 a working and persuading way of smooth migration.

 Maybe once AROS will allow to at least port a few applications
 to other platforms, but this solely won't make an Amiga successor.
 As neither would make the sole capability to run UAE, since this
 already is possible on EVERY major platform.

 Development of a real new platform, consisting of a real new
 OS and real new hardware INCLUDING a decent software-emulation
 for 68k/PPC backward compatibility in our opinion will fail
 because of either one or all of the following reasons:

 - no one to take the riscs
 - no financial backing
 - no full-time efforts
 - not enough people willing or able to actively contribute
 - not really enough people exactly sharing a common goal
 - nearly everyone has a different opinion, thus: different goals
 - a number of people only are interested in their OWN views (and
EGOs),
 i.e. trying to prove themselves
 - own business is seen more important than a common goal
 or vision (naturally)
 - at the beginning, it takes small teams to follow visions,
 not large groups
 - too expensive (in production and end-user pricing)
 - etc.

 This all could be watched in newsgroups and other public places
recently.

 We nevertheless will support the Amiga rest-market (68k/PPC) as long
 as possible. However, for the future, we do recommend to take a look
 at other systems, like BeOS, Linux, Mac or Windows (not necessarily
 in this order). It may be the better choice, than waiting for any
 kind of "Amiga sucessor", that maybe actually won't be one.

 Hello, wake up! The dream is over!

 P.S.:  ...or at least buy a G4 board and register your software.

 The Contact Manager from VaporWare is a unique product for the Amiga.
It's best described as a diary / address book which allows you to
store all your contacts' user information, favourite web & ftp sites
and IRC server/channels. It has been designed as a replacement to all
the different bookmarks, addressbooks and similar GUI's that are built
into the many different Amiga Internet and comms programs.

 Contact Manager is versitile enough to work as an API between other,
non net related programs. For instance setup an arexx script in
Wordworth to pool information to mail merge into documents. ie. say
you want to send a standard document to a number of friends, simply
create a script that grabs names and addresses from the 'users'
section within Contact Manager, then merge and print them to your
document.

 Contact Manager offers a number of features not found in many of the
internal bookmark/addressbooks, as seen below.

 Information Storage & Interaction

 One user can have different types of information. Include their
address, email address, phone number, fax number, web site, ftp site,
ICQ number, etc. All these options can be utilised by other software.
Voyager can use the web information, Microdot-II can use the email
address, STFax Pro can use the fax number, STRicq can utilise the ICQ
number and so on. Some programs may use Contact Manager in other ways
too, such as pressing To: in Microdot-II.

 One GUI, many programs

 You can store all the information you require within one simple
interface. No need to worry about Microdot-II's addressbook, Voyager's
bookmarks, STFax Pro's phonebook, AmFTP's server list etc.

 Retrieve Information From Anywhere!

 Textinput (the built in Vapor text editor that ships with
Microdot-II, Voyager, AmIRC, STFax Pro amongst others) now supports
the ability to insert Contact Manager information into any document.
While writing a message with Microdot-II, you could insert a name,
email address, phone number or any other Contact Manager field,
directly into that document. You will never have to remember a friends
email address ever again!

 Groups & Subgroups

 Contact Manager allows you to create groups for different kinds of
users/addresses. AmFTP, for instance, does not allow you to create
groups or sub-groups within its server list, however this can be
achieved via Contact Manager.

 Multi-user support

 If you are using Genesis as your TCP/IP stack, then Contact Manager
will support and allow multiple users within one interface. If there's
more than one user in your house (other family members, perhaps), each
user can have their own configurations, password protected, so that
their information remains private.

 Plugin links

 AmIRC (from v2.1) now ships with an internal Contact Manager plugin,
allowing you to add users to the Contact Manager from within AmIRC
(based on the current userlist), and also to add your favourite
channels to Contact Manager's channel list. You can even search for
entries within Contact Manager from within AmIRC.

 Please remember, Contact Manager is shareware. If you use it, please
register the software and help support Amiga software development.

 Download Contact Manager today from the VaporWare web site and see
how much easier it'll be to manage your sites and friends.

 There is a Contact Manager Mailing List run by VaporWare for users to
discuss the software. Please feel free to sign up for it, your
question may be answered there.

 AmIRC was the first VaporWare application to be shown to the Amiga
world. Its author, Oliver Wagner, has worked too many late nights on
the program to count, and continues to update it to this day.

 AmIRC's main strengths lie in its interface - it's one of the easiest
IRC clients to use on any platform, yet it also keeps the power users
happy with advanced ARexx scripting and its plugin API, allowing
unique new features to be added. It also features a URL grabber to
capture any URLs mentioned in any channels or query windows, a
lag-o-meter to measure your system's lag from the server, and strong
builtin flood protection including a staggered output queue to stop
you flooding yourself off the server.

 For IRCing on the Amiga, AmIRC should be your number one choice.

 Please remember, AmIRC is shareware. If you use it, please register
the software and help support Amiga software development.

 Download AmIRC 3.2 and see why it's the best IRC client for the
Amiga. If you registered AmIRC 1.x or AmIRC 2.x, you can update to
version 3.2.

 There is an AmIRC Mailing List run by VaporWare for users to discuss
the software. Please feel free to sign up for it, your question may be
answered there.

Features

   o Advanced Low Level Plugin API.
   o Single Window Iconification.
   o Lag-o-meter shows lag from the server
   o Individual window logging.

Amiga Version News

 02/10/99 - The final curtain looks set to fall on the Amiga
Soundprobe. Further work on the Amiga version seems more and more
unlikely as time passes. Whilst Soundprobe has become a popular
editor, the Amiga user base just isn't capable of supporting future
developments. The only hope now is that the PC version can be ported
back to the Amiga, but by the time this happens (year or so), the
Amiga will be even further behind, possibly making it impossible to
port.

 We'll still try and support the Amiga version, if you have any real
problems (bugs), please do let us know, but you may need to be patient
as we're both final year students (i.e. very busy!), you may need to
keep reminding us.
