• Now all ICS image reading and writing is done using the new IRW library
• ICSConvert can now write JPEG, IFF, and TIFF
• ICSConvert and ScanTarget now support 16 bit/channel image data
• ICSConvert can now read/write embeded ICC color and IPTC/NAA editorial information
• Now includes tools to extract ICC and IPTC information from images (IFF, TIFF, JPEG, PNG)
• Spanish localization added
• ICSConvert can now be used as tool for image format conversion
• IRW does offer improved and localized error handling
• Error requesters now offer detailed information, hints and often also a retry function
• Major speed improvement for loading certain files formats
• Also, memory requirement was reduced.

• We, the world-famous pi-pi Castro Task Force, produced the world-famous graphic system for the world-dominant computer platform of the Ah-miga. Sure, we did some work. Nobody paid us for that :-(
• Then we saw some people get big in the Ah-miga world.
• We thought: "Why don't take money from them?"
• We noticed Err-box produced their hardware (el mediatore).
• Err-box produced their software (the pi-pi driver).
• We did not help them (why should we?)
• So we thought we could ask Err-box for money for using our world-famous name of pi-pi 96
• Therefore we are world famous. Proved.
• Err-box did not want to pay us.
• We asked other friends to persuade Err-box.
• Franco Mariacchi managed to get computers and Special-Delusion-Kit documents from Err-box - FOR FREE!!! Success!!!
• Hi-period managed to get some hardware from Err-box plus the same paperwork. FOR FREE!!! Success!!!
• We did not manage to get a single pfenig from Err-box. And we need paper too.
• Franco Mariacchi and Hi-period are laughing at us.
• Therefore we are suckers. And our friends are laughing at us. Proved.
• Aha. A painting family wants us to pay DM 6,000 for using the "Pi-pi-Castro" name.
• Therefore we wanted Err-box to pay it for us.
• As Err-box are discussing the issue behind the curtain, and we need cash badly, we demand Ah-miga users to register our pi-pi system immediately and pay us for their being happy.
• If nobody pays us, we will cry out that any other soap-ware worldwide is ill-egg-all. (Apart from our pi-pi-castro, sure enough.) Proved.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 With this issue, we come to the end of another Amiga year. We have
Bill McEwen's Christmas Update below, in which he discusses the past
year and all it has meant for Amiga. From where we sit, the truly
important milestone represented by the year 2000 is the real
transition from the Classic Amiga to the New Amiga as the vehicle for
Amiga's future. There's a lot more to be done, but there's no turning
back now.
 We also bring you the November Executive Update, which managed to
just elude our last issue. We've discussed paraphrasing these updates
in the past, but right now there's enough room in "Amiga Update" to
carry them, so we'll continue to do so if we can.

 This last month saw a large number of Amigans go into a panic over
the troubles of 3dfx Interactive, Inc., the force behind VooDoo.
There's a great deal of worry about being able to use the new VooDoo
based graphics boards on the Amiga. Voices of reason are now
appearing, pointing out that these boards will still work, and be
supported by the manufacturers. We'd like to add our voice to those
saying "calm down!".
 
 We'd also like to wish "Happy Holidays" to all those who for whom
this is the holiday season. Christmas, Ramadan, Hanuka and others - we
hope all celebrations are or have been wonderful, and that together
we'll soon have both a happy new year and century.

 Editor

E-mail to the E-ditor:

Hi,

In one of your earlier updates, a user asked for help regarding his
A2000 w/GVP 060 board (quoted below). I run an unofficial support site
for the GVP 2060 and 4060, and this may be of help to him:

http://www.gregdonner.org/gvp4060/gvp4060.html

I'm contacting you in this regard as I couldn't find an e-mail address
for the user, Brad.

Hi Brad

 I was wondering if you have heard this one?? I have a 2000 with a GVP
060 with built in scsi. When I connect my syjet it hangs up something
fierce amd only by either shutting down the syjet or disconnecting the
cable will it release the buss. Also I can no longer do a warm reboot.
I have disabled all the wbstartup softeware in an attempy to fix this.
but to no avail. Any thoughts anyone?? Keep up the good work! Yours in
Amiga

Hi,Brad,

 I really enjoy your newsletters and I thought that others may have
the same questions concerning YAM:
 
 1)When looking at a Yam message, some messages appears to be
"html"code scattered on the page. makes it hard to find the message,
Anyone know to set up yam so that I do not see that on the page
 
 2)While in YAM, some messages have quite a few http:// addresses
color coded on the page. Anyway to click on them and automatically go
to that address?
 
 3)Is there a mailing list for Yam and Ibrowse users?

Keep up the good work!

Sincerely,
Nelson
~~~~~~
Nelson,

 The instructions that come with YAM will tell you how to deal with
files that actually end with a .html extension. I suspect your real
problem though is files that end in the typical .msg extension but
contain lines of html code. This is really the fault of improperly
used mailers on the sending end. I know of no easy way to deal with
such a situation. It's a big problem for many mailing list operators.

 As for clicking on a URL in a message and having your browser take
you there, that's not difficult to set up. Tools such as the Open URL
library and HURL (AmiNET) are available to accomplish this. Use YAM's
configuration menu and the Help key and YAM will guide you through the
procecedures.

 There's a YAM mailings list, YAMML@egroups.com, available at the
E-Groups site. Send e-mail to YAMML-subscribe@egroups.com to
subscribe. Once subscribed, you can access their archives on the
E-Groups webpage (http://www.egroups.com/group/YAMML). You should find
additional answers to your questions there.

G'day Brad Webb,

 On 24-Nov-00, on the subject of "[AUsubscribers] Newsletter", you
spoke thus:

> abandon them. Since we have no control over these ads, and 
> don't even see them until after the issue is sent, it could 
> easily happen again. We hope it won't.
 

 Brad, there is a solution for YAM users. Take a look at my YAM script
in Aminet:comm/mail/eGroupsScan1_0.lha. This script will automatically
strip all eGroups ads from any of their MLs you are subscribed to. Try
it.

Regards,
Steve

Steve,
 I'm betting that's very good news to a lot of YAM users. Thanks much
for sending the information along.

Hi there!

 I am reading Amiga Update for a few years now and I am always happy
when I find a new issue in my mailbox. Although I can get most of
these news earlier via internet and newsgroups, I prefer AU, because I
do not have to search for news, I get them "delivered" and these news
are at least collected by someone who knows what is really
interesting. Emails to and words from the editor are always quite
interesting and sometimes contain as much information as the news. For
me Amiga Update is a real "email-magazin" which I do not want to miss!

 You do a great job and I hope for Your readership that You will do it
for a long while in the future!

Thanks and Bye
Daniel
~~~~~~
Daniel,
 Thanks for the words of encouragement. It's nice to know that we're
fullfiling the mission we set for ourselves, to get the news out
rather than put it up on a web site somewhere and wait for people to
come to us. 
 Current plans are to keep right on publishing.
 Brad

Executive Update - Looking Back

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to one and all:

 Wow, have we been a blessed company. On December 27, 1999 we executed
our agreement with Gateway, and January 3rd 2000 was our first day of
business.
 
 In one year we have been able to release an upgrade to the AmigaOS
(3.9, with our partners Haage and Partner), we have announced and
released two versions of the SDK for the New AmigaDE (Digital
Environment), we have released the AmigaOne specification and
announced two partners in building these new machines, (bPlan, and
Eyetech).
 
 Yes this has been an amazing year.
 
 As we look back upon these last 12 months, there have been many
lessons learned, and it is with these new lessons that we will be
moving into 2001, with clear focus, and numerous new announcements and
deals. Yes, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will be great
fun for Amigans around the world, for it is here that the rest of the
world will begin to learn what you already know! :-)
 
 At this time of remembrance and thanks, we are also reminded of our
friends that we have lost. Coz, Bob Cosby is very missed and we think
of him, and pray daily for his wife Marsha. It has been the most
sobering event for Amiga, and it helped us to remember that Family is
what makes Amiga great. We are looking to add many new members to the
Amiga family this year.
 
 This year has been hard for us in other ways also: the stock market
has certainly hindered our ability to raise the capital we wanted to
accelerate our plans, and many of us have had to endure financial
hardships making the dream of Amiga a reality. The Amiga team is
together, and moving ahead quickly towards this new and exciting year.
 
 I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support
and for everyone hanging in there with us.
 
 We are truly a blessed company.
 
 I want to personally wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a very
Happy New Year.

God Bless,

><> Bill McEwen ><> President CEO Amiga, Inc, bill@amiga.com.

Dear Amiga Family:

 It is now November 2000, eleven months after we took over the helm of
Amiga. We have made some changes to the original plan, and continue to
do our best in carrying the vision forward.
 
 In the next two weeks, the next new product from Amiga will begin
shipping - Amiga OS 3.9! This build has been designed specifically for
one group - You, the Amiga family. We have been working very closely
with Haage and Partner in creating a great new product offering for
Amiga that you will all be very proud of.
 
 Will there be a 4.0? This really depends on the sales of OS 3.9. You
see, we did not have any plans for another version of the Classic OS.
But we continued to receive requests, and because we listen to
community, we decided to move ahead with Haage and Partner on this
project. If OS 3.9 sells well, and we see a continuing need to produce
for the existing Classic Amiga platform, then there is a strong
possibility of a 4.0.
 
 It is in your hands.
 
 No matter what happens, AmigaDE is still moving ahead quickly and we
look forward to delivering another version of the Amiga Software
Development Kit (SDK) with new features and enhancements. In the
coming weeks, we will be adding 3D and sound to AmigaDE.
 
 There are many more exciting things happening at Amiga and I look
forward to sharing with you all of the great details, and
announcements in Koln, Germany in December. I look forward to meeting
all of you there, at the Amiga World tradeshow. Bring a friend!
 
 Looking forward to a great visit in Koln, and a wonderful holiday
season,

Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga team.

Cologne, December 9, 2000.

 Realsoft and Hyperion Entertainment have entered into an agreement to
bring Realsoft's critically acclaimed and highly advanced 3D modelling
and rendering package to the Amiga.
 
 'Realsoft 3D' is a full featured modelling, rendering, animation and
simulation software tool. Its predecessor, Real 3D, originated on the
Amiga all these years ago and was renowned for its powerful and
innovative tools. Now the new, rewritten 'Realsoft 3D' provides even
more power and introduces dozens of exciting innovations, all
accessible through a very carefully designed, intelligent, and
user-friendly interface. This new interface adapts to the skills of
the user and helps him/her to master advanced 3D techniques with
surprising ease. Realsoft 3D is designed to meet the requirements of
today's 3D artist who requires extreme performance through an easy to
use, productive user interface.
 
 Commenting on the agreement, Realsoft's managing director Vesa
Meskanen remarked: "The success of our 3D product line started on the
Amiga platform. This opportunity to port our latest product generation
back to Amiga is therefore very welcome. The platform independent
design of Realsoft 3D together with Hyperion Entertainment's knowledge
about the latest developments of Amiga OS entails that after the
initial porting work is done, all our new software releases will
include the Amiga platform without further porting delays."
 
 "We were extremely impressed by the feature-set of Realsoft 3D. This
package truly represents unbelievable value for money", said Ben
Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion Entertainment. "Through our
activities in the field of entertainment software, we have acquired
enormous expertise in the field of 3D graphics. We were looking for a
way to leverage this expertise and apply it to other areas. Given
Realsoft's Amiga background, it seemed natural to approach them. We
are very excited that we can play a role in bringing back Real 3D's
successor to the Amiga."
 
 Realsoft 3D will be available for Amiga OS 3.x and Amiga DE in the
course of 2001. Requirements and further details to be announced.

 Merry Christmas everyone! Just before Christmas Holidays I've managed
to compile the final release of AmigaAMP v2.8. Shoutcast Streaming
works much better now and I've fixed a few more bugs.

Plugin Development Kit v1.4 released

 Along with AmigaAMP v2.8 there's a new Plugin Development Kit which
shows how to keep an eye on AmigaAMP's current window position. Plugin
authors can use it to 'dock' their graphics to the AmigaAMP main
window for example.

{The following note was sent recently to Picasso96 users. In view of
the importance of Picasso96 the Amiga community, and the continuing
disagreement between Picasso96 and Elbox, we are printing the entire
mailing here. Brad}

Dear (registered?) Picasso96 users!
 
 First, I have to apologize for the lack of development during the
last year, but Alex and I have been too busy in our real life to
continue to spend a lot of time in the development of a not-so-
profitable project.
 
 Another pressing problem was that our hardware gets older and older,
less reliable each year. Alex' Amiga broke down completely and it took
us weeks to conclude that something in there is not reliable anymore,
but we could not determine what.
 
 So now we have an instable main development system that does not even
compile properly. Fine. Just some weeks ago we surrendered and I gave
Alex my second Amiga, which was used for testing, to replace his
motherboard. As it turns out, this one works better but still not
perfectly. Something else is to blame. The hard disk? Or the
CyberStorm board? One of the many graphics boards? We don't know yet
but one way or the other we will probably have to replace the system
completely.
 
 This will cost some money.
 
 On the other hand, if we look at the registration turnout, especially
over the last two years, we have to face the fact that only a handful
of people deemed Picasso96 worth enough to send a small amount of
money. So who has registered at all? Mostly PicassoII users, some
CyberVision64/Merlin/Piccolo users and as far as I can remember not a
single one for UAE. Sad but true, people use non-crippled Shareware
without bothering to register.
 
 Even if you ignore this, all those registrations combined would not
even allow us to drink a beer once a week. That's not enough to
justify intensive work on Picasso96 while at the same time we could
spend our precious spare time with friends and family. We do want to
have a life outside of work, too.
 
 BTW, we have learned the hard way that Dave Haynies quote "make one
error and you have to support it a lifetime" (probably not correctly
quoted, sorry, but I don't have it at hand) is just too true...
 
 If you say that we have made a lot of money with the PicassoIV, I
have to tell you that if you calculate what we would have made working
full time for a company, we would have made about five times as much.
Both Alex and I have spent two years of full time productive time each
on Picasso96 between the summer of '96 and mid '98.
 
 So now estimate the value of work behind Picasso96 yourself...
 
 Alexander Niven-Jenkins wrote "A number of companies were decent
enough to cough up the money...". Set the number to "1". The only one
to pay to this day was Village Tronic for the PicassoIV. Ateo did not
pay one single French Franc. Ok, they did supply _parts_ of the
reference system which to this day does not have actual release
boards, just prototypes which we still suspect to have certain bus
timing flaws and behave just a bit differently than the actual release
versions. But we don't want to be too hard on the Ateo guys. They have
invested a lot of money into their project and probably did not even
hit the point of breaking even.
 
 Some people have written that we should make Picasso96 open source
now that we can not work as hard as before. That's actually a good
point, but given the situation, no one would ever even bother to pay
us any fees to use it commercially. They would simply say "the source
is public, anyone can use it". And now try to sue someone with this
attitude... It is way too costly and the chances at court are very
different in different parts of the world.
 
 But we still think that we deserve a fee when someone wants to
exploit Picasso96 commercially. Elbox does. So we think they should
pay a fee to get support for their product.
 
 Some say that the Elbox board isn't just about graphics, that there
is ethernet and all other possibilities. Yes, there are other options
to use with the Elbox board. BUT! What percentage of buyers will go
for ethernet or whatsoever and not for graphics?
 
 I have ethernet on my Amigas, too, ok. I use it to connect them to
each other and to my PC to exchange data. How often do I use it? About
1-5% of the time at the most. Could I live without ethernet? Sure.
 
 Make the same calculations about other possible expansions, it will
probably be similar.
 
Now, how often do I use a graphics board when working on the
Amiga? 100% of the time.
 
 I think it is not too far fetched to assume that 90% of the Elbox
buyers have similar priorities and intend to use the system in this
way.
 
 Ok, there is CyberGraphX for the Elbox, too. It only supports the old
Virge that nobody wants to buy these days. If you can choose between
the Virge and the Voodoo3, what would you choose? Exactly. So this is
no real argument either.
 
 And as user registration does not work at all, the only chance for us
to get our fee is that Picasso696 is being bundled with hardware.
 
 So taking all this into account, the logical conclusion would be to
give Elbox a decent discount on Picasso96 and have them distribute it
with their system.
 
 Stephen Fellner asked whether Elbox contacted us. Yes, they did. They
wanted the card driver development kit which is not public and
contains informations about our private hardware API that is needed to
build a driver. After all, this private API is our intellectual
property and must not be used by someone who has not got our o.k. for
using it. We told them that we requested a fee which from our point of
view was moderately and appropriate. After reading about this, they
(Elbox) simply stopped communication with us and secretely developed a
driver they either based on reengineering efforts or a pirated copy of
the development kit they got from someone else who may have thought he
did something good by giving them the chance to build a driver without
our help.
 
 So, summing it up, Elbox delibrately chose to screw us.

Now, from your point of view, should we:
a) support the Elbox driver actively,
b) ignore it and let Elbox change it accordingly to changes in
   Picasso96 or
c) make sure that this pirated driver will not work with future
   versions of Picasso96?
 
 Well, we are quite pissed off, so we are currently favoring the third
option. So, probably, future versions of Picasso might not work on the
Elbox system at all (although honestly I have no doubt that Elbox
would not be able to hack our countermeasures and - if they intend to
- distribute pirated versions of Picasso96 soon after we release new
ones). But this is not set in stone yet, as we still hope for Elbox to
offer at least a symbolic one-time fee.
 
 We are willing to give them some time to reach us and offer something
we can be satisfied with. Until then we will step back from any
actions whatsoever including Picasso96 updates (sorry about that, but
without something in hand, crippling Picasso96 after releasing an even
better version, does not make any sense at all).
 
 Now let's come to the point of further development of Picasso96. Will
there be any? Yes, definetely. We are currently working on it. As a
first step we incorporated the changes Thomas Richter has sent us. We
owe him much for this and he deserves a public apology from us for not
being fast in making his fixes available. We owe you one, Thomas (Du
darfst Dir was von uns wünschen, Weihnachten steht vor der Tür!).
 
 Is that all? Not at all. We are currently working on other software
and hardware driver additions that are unfortunately not ready for
distribution yet and that we can not talk about either because other
parties are also involved.
 
 Just give us some time. You might be surprised (or not, depending on
your expectations :-))).
 
 You are still reading this mail? Wow! You must be a devoted Picasso96
user, did you register? :-)

• Added "Temporary" class of Buddy. If a message is received from someone not already on Buddy list, they are added to temporary status. If not moved from Temporary status to main list, Buddy is not saved when program is exited.
• Colors for different types of messages in Message list added. (Incoming, Outgoing, Auto-Outgoing, Auto-Incoming, and System)
• Prefs have capability of default color on Left or Right, or use of special colour on Left and Right for each Message.
• Activity window now has the capability of having prefs set colors for display of status changes (Online,Offline and Away)
• Single Window mode appears to work better now, as I have the window closed, changed than reopened after a change in prefs.
• Issuing an ARexx command of QUIT FORCE now causes the client to close under most conditions without putting up any requesters (Even if prefs, etc haven't been saved)
• Documentation in form of AmigaGuide document and MUIA_HelpNodes finally added to program, including documentation of part of ARexx interface.
• Modified Textinput history system, now keeps history of last entry while cycling up/down through history. (Modification or reuse of old history entry will replace last entry)

• V1.2 (24-Dec-00): (28860/13144 Bytes)
• Released to my homepage and AmiNet.
• Fixed the bugs with relative mouse movement (Cinema4D) and FlipX and/or FlipY enabled (thanks to Roger Petry for giving me the hint).
• Reduced lower LMB Threshold limit from 13% to 1% on users request.
• Added a second usable area slider for mouse only, so you can change between mouse and stylus on the fly and have a suitable acceleration for the mouse movements.
• Range for the tablet was 1 pixel off set (minor flaw).
• Iconify on startup did not work as stated in the manual (lazy me never tried it, sorry), so I added an option to iconify in the prefs.
• Changed the GUI layout a little bit.
• Added a FAQ to the guide.
• Painted a nice MWB icon for FormAldiHyd. Does anyone want to design a NewIcon or GlowIcon?
• Added a niffy logo to FormAldiHyd (sorry :) ).
• Formalin now parses the ToolTypes and therefore can be started from Workbench without problems now.

• Die Datei EASys!:config/OS39_with_toolsdaemon umbenennen in OS39_with_rexxmenu
• In der Datei SYS:StartSys/e_WB/2_Toolbar (oder 2_ToolManager_EASys) vor dem Aufruf zu Toolmanager eine Zeile zum Warten einfügen:
  wait 10
  Das wird benötigt, weil ein asynchroner überlappender Start von AmiDock und ToolManager zu einem Fehler führt.
