Amiga Clubtreffen in Kevelaer
Heute beginnt unser jährliches Amiga-Club Bundestreffen
in Kevelaer. Besucher sind herzlich willkommen. Am Samstag gibt es eine Verlosung
mit wirklich sehr attraktiven Preisen :).
Insgesamt sage und schreibe 102 Preispakete.
Auf den AC-Seiten werden wir laufend direkt vom Treffen berichten.
Da ich natürlich auch bei diesem Treffen sein werde, wird es dieses Wochenende
keine News geben. Neue News gibt es dann wieder am Montag. Der nächste Newsticker
wird ebenfalls Montag spät abends verschickt.

Hilfe bei Wolfenstein-Projekt gesucht
Robert schreibt:
Brauche dringend Hilfe bei meinem Wolfenstein-Projekt und suche deshalb
einen Programmierer, der den DEH-Support in ADoom 68k & PPC verbessern kann.
Sourcecode ist vorhanden! Es ist wirklich wichtig, da sonst mein
Wolfenstein-Projekt kippt, und das wäre glaube ich echt schade.
Also wenn jemand bereit ist zu helfen, bitte eine eMail an:
Robert Wahnsiedler.
Zu verdienen gibt es allerdings nichts, da es quasi ein Freeware-Projekt ist.
Warum ich mich nicht an die Programmierer gewendet habe? Wir stehen in Kontakt,
allerdings kommt der DEH-Support, der vorhanden ist, nicht von ihnen und derjenige,
der es gemacht hat, ist unter seiner eMail nicht mehr zu erreichen.
Ich bitte um zahlreiche Zuschriften! :)

MUIbase 1.1
Hier eine Zusammenfassung der wichtigsten Features von MUIbase:
- Relationale, programmierbare Datenbank.
- Bearbeitung von mehreren Projekten gleichzeitig.
- Feldtypen: String, Memo (mehrzeiliger Text), Integer, Real, Datum, Zeit,
Bool, Choice (Auswahl eines Eintrags aus einer Menge), Referenz (Zeiger auf
einen Datensatz einer anderen Tabelle), Button (zum Starten eines MUIbase-
Programms) und Virtuell (Wert wird berechnet, wenn er gerade benötigt wird).
- Der String-Datentyp kann auch Listen von Strings, Dateinamen und Fontnamen
verwalten. Ein OS 3.x datatype Feld erlaubt die Anzeige von externen Bildern.
- Unbegrenzte Anzahl an Datensätzen.
- Dynamisches Laden der Datensätze. Datensätze, die gerade nicht benötigt werden,
werden automatisch auf Platte ausgelagert.
- Programmierbarkeit. Die einfache aber sehr mächtige MUIbase-Programmiersprache
erlaubt die Realisierung von beliebig komplexen Abläufen. Die Programmiersprache
enthält auch eine SELECT-FROM-WHERE-Anweisung, um einfach und schnell Daten
abzufragen.
- Import und Export von Datensätzen.
- Benutzt MUI als Benutzeroberfläche. Die Oberfläche kann auf die Wünsche des
Benutzers angepaßt werden. Externe Bilder können mit in die Oberfläche
integriert werden.
- Portierbarkeit. Die Entwicklung von MUIbase geschah mit der Idee einer einfachen
Portierung auf andere Systeme. Die System- und Oberflächen-Softwaremodule
wurden von den anderen Modulen getrennt, so daß eine Portierung von MUIbase auf
ein anderes System nur die Portrierung dieser Teile erfordert. Der Autor
prüft zur Zeit eine mögliche Java-Portierung der Benutzeroberfläche. Dies
würde die Datenbank für fast alle Computersysteme, einschließlich Linux,
Windows und MacOS, verfügbar machen.

Mainactor Broadcast News
Sehr positive Neuigkeiten zur Weiterentwicklung von MainActor Broadcast.
Sämtliche neuen Module für Loader, Saver und Displayer sind bis auf
weiteres kostenlos im AmiNet zu finden! Die Veröffentlichung erfolgt
allerdings erst in ein paar Wochen, weil zur Zeit noch umfangreiche
Beta-Tests durchgeführt werden. WarpUp Unterstützung gibt es übrigens
auch! Geplant ist außerdem ein FAQ und eine Mailinglist für den Support.

wARPgATe nEWS - MP3 Encoder Ncoder kommt doch nicht
Neben dem obigen Artikel von wARPgATe finden Sie weitere detaillierte Informationen auf der
AmigaAMP Website,
wo Thomas Wenzel bereits am 23.04.99 unmißverständlich
darauf hinwies, daß es aufgrund der Linzenzpolitik des Fraunhofer IIS
keine Freeware MP3 Encoder geben wird.

KOSH summary Nr. 18
KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]
Weekly Summary
Week Commencing: 24th April 1999
Number: 018
Mailing List: kosh-general
In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.
a)
Subject: Location of KOSH Book List
Summary of debate: It was expressed that a mirror of the KOSH Book List should
be on the main http://www.kosh.net site.
b)
Subject: Query on the survey content (continued)
Summary of debate: Following from last weeks query as to whether a KOSH survey
should ask if alien file formats should be supported (see
point "n" from last weeks survey) it was suggested that the
question should be posed as this would give an idea as to
whether this should be setup in KOSH as a default or
optional setting.
A question like this could present an insentive to fill in
the questionnaire and would give people the feeling that
their views are being heard.
Alternatively the question "What file formats would you like
supported initially in KOSH?" could be asked. This could
generate a list too large to implement or could result in
people worrying that they had forgotten to include one in
their reply to the survey.
With KOSH, as with datatypes, virtually any format can be
supported - if not initially then simply by adding the
relevant object to the sea.
One suggestion in answer to the questions posed was that we
could have a range of useful data objects, one for each form
of data, one for lossy compression (with options for
different packing) and a very powerful import/export filter
to speak to non KOSH systems.
For further details please consult the KOSH Surveying
Working Group.
c)
Subject: The Free Expression Project
Summary of debate: This project aims "to develop a copylefted suite of
streaming media tools (server, client, encoders, and
codec(s)...[The aim] is to provide free tools for artists
who want to use the Web as a distribution medium..., and to
make Linux a viable platform for them to use."
See: http://www.free-expression.org/ from which the above
quote was taken.
It was mentioned that this is part of an attempt to ensure
free formats to spread free news feeds and entertainment.
It appears to be targeted at a few large organisations who
currently control the market.
Presumably the activities of Free Expression are something
KOSH could be involved with.
d)
Subject: Developers for KOSH
Summary of debate: See: http://java.oreilly.com/news/newos_0499.html which
could be a niche for KOSH and provide volunteers for
development.
e)
Subject: KOSH matter
Summary of debate: The fact that there are two levels of "matter" available
when discussing data in KOSH, bit streams and structures was
described. A data entity is always a bit stream; anything
above that is dependent upon the applied structure.
It was favourably expressed that this applied structure
could be defined using XML, with a DTD for every structure
that we use.
f)
Subject: Books on OS development
Summary of debate: A number of books were described on the above subject.
Details of them can be found on the KOSH Book list site (yes
that's an attempt to get everyone to look at it). The URL is
in previous summaries (yes that's an attempt to get
everyone to re-read them...you do read them don't you?).
g)
Subject: Web Author for KOSH wanted
Summary of debate: A web author/designer/coder for the KOSH project is
currently wanted by a number of people on the General
Mailing List. If you are interested in this voluntary post
then please contact the ML (email:kosh-general@kosh.net).
We need someone who has the ability and time to help get the
KOSH URL back up and running.
Please note that although this post is completely voluntary.
There is currently no funds available to pay for any work
done (including costs incurred from, for example uploading
via a charged telephone call). Pay -may- (no guarantee) come
about in the end in the form of KOSH Virtual Credits.
Further, the above post has been "created" by your humble
scribe as a result of the posts to the General KOSH ML. It
is not "official" (if anything truly is with the way KOSH is
organised to allow anyone to help in any way). Even so, if
you are interested and can demonstrate that you have both
the time and ability to help create a URL we would -very-
much like to hear from you.
h)
Subject: File formats
Summary of debate: A lot of information on file formats can be found at
http://www.wotsit.org
i)
Subject: KOSH Web Site revamped with regular columns on relevant subjects
Summary of debate: The KOSH URL will soon be back up and running (it may be by
the time you read this). Greg Webb would like to hear from
anyone who would like to write a column - one off or a
series on anything related to KOSH. Ideally this will be in
English, but any language is OK if a proof reader is
available.
Please email greg@gpwebb.freeserve.co.uk if you can help.

RBM News: Erster EPP-Parallelport-Scanner für den Amiga!
RBM schreibt:
In Verbindung mit der parallel Schnittstelle der bekannten IOBlix
Schnittstellen-Karten IOBlix (Z2) und IOBlix 1200 P ist es jetzt erstmals
möglich, einen EPP-Parallelport-Scanner am Amiga zu betreiben.
Das "ScanExpress 600 CP Bundle" von rbm digitaltechnik beinhaltet
neben dem Scanner auch eine Vollversion von ScanQuix4 und kostet gerade
einmal DM 219,- und setzt somit neue Preismaßstäbe im Scannermarkt.
Der ScanExpress 600 CP scannt mit 300x600 dpi (interpoliert bis 20.000 dpi)
und verfügt über eine Canon-Optik neuester Technologie.
Das Ergebnis sind gestochen scharfe Bilder mit einer überwältigenden Farbkraft.
Der ScanExpress 600 CP bietet außerdem einen durchgeführten Anschluß
für einen Drucker, so daß man mit einer IOBlix-Schnittstelle nicht nur
in den Genuß eines Scanners, sondern zugleich auch noch eine bis zu 5fach
beschleunigte Druckausgabe bekommt. Die beiliegende Vollversion von ScanQuix4 verfügt
über ALLE Funktionen der bekannten Version für SCSI-Scanner
(Systemanforderung: mind. 68020, mind. 8 MB RAM). Wer noch keine IOBlix 1200 P
(parallel-)Karte besitzt, bekommt diese im "ScanExpress 600 CP/IOBlix 1200 P Bundle"
für DM 289,- gleich mitgeliefert.

Preissturz bei Vobis
Volker schreibt:
Ich arbeite trotz Amiga bei Vobis ;-))). Ich denke allerdings das
Amigabesitzer ohne Drucker sich über den ab morgen gültigen Preis des
Canon BJC 4400 freuen werden. Der Drucker wird ab morgen den 6.5.99 nur
noch 229,00 DM kosten!
Wer günstig einen guten 17" Monitor haben möchte, der MS1779 wird ab
morgen ebenfalls im Preis fallen und zwar auf 379,00 DM! (Stiftung Warentest GUT).

Bleem (Playstation Emulator) für Amiga?
Wer möchte, daß es den Playstation-Emulator Bleem auch für den Amiga
gibt, sollte sich an dieser Umfrage beteiligen. Bleem ist ein kommerzielles Produkt
und um überzeugen zu können, es umzusetzen, braucht man Feedback von Leuten,
die bereit sind, für einen solchen Emulator auch zu bezahlen.

Eternity sucht strategische Partnerschaften
Return-Path: Eternity@Pride.de
From: Martin Wolf Eternity@Pride.de
To: Petra Struck petra.struck@online-club.de
Date: Tue, 04 May 1999 22:41:35 +0100
Strategische Partnerschaften gesucht :
--------------------------------------
Die Fa. Eternity sucht weitere Partnerschaften mit Klein &
Kleinstunternehmern im Sektor Amiga-Handel. Ziel ist
es, kleineren Unternehmern die Chance zum Aufbau eines
eigenen Handels/Laden zu verhelfen.
Durch Repräsentation über eine gemeinsame Homepage soll
das Internet-Geschäft angekurbelt werden, und durch
Kleinsthändler der Service vor Ort beim Kunden verbessert
werden.
Da durch die schlechte Marktlage des Amiga immer mehr
Händler dem Amiga den Rücken zudrehen, denken wir, daß
es wichtig ist, ein neues Vertriebsnetz aufzubauen und
flächendeckend Amiga-Service & Handel zu gewährleisten.
Auch in Bezug auf den Amiga-NG ist dies wichtig.
Es sind Kleinsthändler aus aller Welt gefragt. Jeder der
gerne ein paar Mark mit dem Amiga verdienen möchte,
Fleiß, Eigeninitiative und kaufmännisches Können sein
eigen nennt, ist willkommen.
Wir bieten optimalen Service, gute Start-Konditionen und
einen leichten Einstieg durch professionelle Hilfe bei
Problemen.
User aller Länder sind gefragt und gefordert.
Interessenten melden sich bitte unter: eternity@pride.de
Mfg Wolf

Homebanking bei Deutscher Bank geht nun ohne Java und Javaskript
Holger schreibt:
Homebanking bei der Deutschen Bank
mittels Voyager über das WWW funktioniert
nun. Es ist nun ENDLICH KEIN Java oder Javascript mehr für das Homebanking
erforderlich!!
Ein kleiner Trick ist allerdings nötig: man muß erst auf das
"Java"-Homebanking klicken. Dort wird man darüber informiert, daß die
Deutsche Bank nun ein neues Verfahren für das Internetbanking einsetzt,
welches einen Browser der "4.0-Version" erfordert. (Ich denke damit ist HTML
4.0 gemeint). Und da Voyager damit zurechtkommt, klappt es! Nun habe ich
testweise meine erste Online Überweisung, die Registrierung von Voyager,
ONLINE durchgeführt, und es hat funktioiert :-))
Ich denke das diese Information besonders für Studenten und Auszubildende
interessant ist, die ein kostenloses Konto bei der Deutschen Bank haben und einen
Amiga sowie Voyager benutzen.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
It's been a quiet end of April for the Amiga scene. That doesn't mean
nothing is happening, just that there weren't a lot of news releases.
However, even in a quiet month the Amiga community is always doing
something, so there are many things to read in this issue.
There are always things that have happened for which we don't have
press releases or posted stories. This month, a number of Amigans have
wondered what has happened to SoftLogik, publishers of the excellent
"PageStream" publishing package. As nearly as we can determine, the
company is in transition to a new location somewhere in Wisconsin. Who
knows, they might even wind up near "Amiga Update".
The following quote from the SoftLogik mailing list was sent along to
us:
"As reported online earlier, Soft-Logik is moving. The building in
St. Louis was closed February 24th, 1999. We expect to finalize the
purchase of the new location in Wisconsin on Tuesday, March 9th,
1999."
As we obtain information, we'll pass it along.
Meantime, please enjoy this latest issue.
Brad Webb,
Editor

Subject: IBrowse
Can't seem to find them. Their site is not available and this right
after they announce a new upcoming release. What do you think?
How many of us Amigans do you think are left out there?
Do you think they started too late developing the Amiga at Gateway or
is there still hope?
With the PC prices at all time lows, it seems almost ludicrous for
someone to dump thousands into a machine that is still using 10 year
old technology and software, speaking for myself, of course. Just got
through getting an A4KT up and running that has been sitting in my
office for 15 months. Talk about trying to get information, I still
haven't found the right 32 meg simm modules to plug into the card. I
have purchased 8 already. Ouch!!!!!
Kind regards
Ed
~~~~~~
Hello Ed,
The IBrowse web site has returned, though it could use some updating.
We'd certainly have a great loss if anything happened to Omnipresence.
Not sure of the answers to your other questions. There are more
Amigans than many might think, and in unusual places. Everyday I walk
into my "day job"'s building in one of the most powerful corporations
anywhere in the world and see the work of anonymous Amigas all around
me. Our headquarters building has large TV monitors scattered
throughout for announcements, corporate news and programs related to
our products. The system is Amiga based even though most people in the
IT organization have never heard of it. (Those who work near me have!)
As for Gateway, their innovative plans should be able to make up for
any late start. There's always room for a good product, especially in
a niche market. The key is to advertise, and know your market. If
anyone can handle that, Gateway can.
Finally, I can't help on the simm question, but I'll bet our readers
can!
Regards,
Brad

Joint Amiga Developers (JAD) have announced that they are now active,
and ready to begin the construction of an Internet-based development
system which will gather Amiga-developers from all over the world to
develop major applications.
This should be of interest to anyone who wants to see some more major
applications for the Amiga, as well as make sure that the next
generation of Amigas will have a solid base of applications to grow
with.
It is a theory which is yet untested. The success of this theory
depends on YOU!
Take a look at our homepage at: http://jad.amiga-software.com
Or mail us at: amiganetwork@usa.net
Please note that JAD is currently a non-profit organization, which
means that there is no money to earn from this. But if you just help a
little, you can make a difference too.

Voyager 3 Notes
===============
Ok, here's a short summary of what has been done, is being done and
(eventually) will be done for Voyager 3. This focusses on "major"
changes, and I've written it offhand, so I may have forgot something.
Document revision: 1, 16.4.99
Javascript
----------
Of course, the thing everyone wants (esspecially the ones asking for
"Java" :)
I've implemented the Javascript 1.2 core language with a nicely-done
bytecode interpreter. Voyager first compiles the code down into a
special P-Code (or "Bytecode", as it's nowadays called, although it
really consists of 16 bit instructions) which is then executed by a
special interpreter. This should give the fastest JS implementation
available in the industry, and should esspecially help with the
otherwise massive impact of event handler code or looping operations.
The Document Object Model I'm implementing is closely based on the
one of the Microsoft Internet Explorer, because it is much more
flexible than that of NS (that's what M$ calls "Dynamic HTML").
Status: mostly done, in testing stage, gathering real-world feedback
now
HTML
----
Numerous major and minor updates. Support for CSS 1 is being worked
on and will most likely be ready in time. Note that "Dynamic HTML" is
actually a JS-related issue.
Status: done, in testing stage, gathering real-world feedback now
GUI
---
Main GUI is now completely customziable with the well-known "coolbar"
technology borrowed from the Windows world. Bookmarks are replaced
with the new embedded version of the Contact Manager. New IE4-alike
history allows finding
Status: mostly done
Networking
----------
Cache system has been reworked to require less maintaince. Optional
"blacklisting" for image fetching based on URLs allows one to get rid
of banners and based tracking services. The same will probably be
added for cookies.
Status: mostly done
Java
----
The "Merapi" JavaVM seems to have died. Holger Kruse of Nordicglobal
recently announced the Daytona JavaVM, and has invited all browser
authors to participate in a design discussion about a potential plugin
API for Daytona. If this project has a future (and given hkr's track
record, it surely will), I'm definitvly going to support it.
Status: time will tell
Flash/Shockwave
---------------
David "Zapek" Gerber is working on integrating the free flash 3
player as an V plugin.
Status: being worked on. It's either finished in time or someone in
Switzerland will have his buttock prodded :^)
Image decoders
--------------
Updated to current versions of libjpeg and libpng. Speed improvements
in the rendering code, and will now also deal fine with CGFX4
in-buffer bitmaps. Fixed tons of low-memory issues. Modularized and
loaded on demand based on the system architecture for maximum
efficiency with easy upgrading to PPC. Special support for FBlit on
AGA systems to totally eliminate the need to use chipmem.
Status: done, in testing stage
Plugins
-------
Nothing really done yet, but the Flash player is being designed as an
plugin and will stirr up some required changes.
Status: erm

{Found this on the net recently. Must regard as a rumor. In any event,
we weren't invited. ;-) Brad}
Event: Amiga Inc. Press conference
Date: Fri Apr 30, 1999
Description: All the dealers and important developers are being
gathered at a secret location near Heathrow {that's in England, for
the geographically challenged ;-)} for a conference with Jim Collas
and Petro Tyschtschenko. We don't know what will be discussed yet, but
assume that there will be demos of OS3.5 and OS5.

OS3.5 Details from AUGS User Group Meeting
Posted by Martin Heine in comp.sys.amiga.misc:
Here are some more details regarding OS 3.5 as revealed by
Haage&Partner at the AUGS-Meeting - as usual aimed as a piece of first
info in Germenglish until someone tells you all this in an official
statement in correct English. =)
Internet:
A special version of AWeb will be the Browser (like I said) and the
TCP/IP-stack will be Miami (unlike I said :-). Integrated
Network-support. The E-Mail-API and the simple E-Mail-Client will be
from the author of Voodoo and New York.
Workbench:
Regarding our topic "Moving of the Icons" was said that it wouldn't
be necessary anymore to use the Shift-Key when moving more than one
icon. An "Unselect" will be possible when more than one icon is
selected. All Preferences-Programs will get the new Reaction-surface.
The Submenus of the WB will be optimized for a better handling.
Icon Library:
When selecting, the icons will start to "glow"; when dragging them
they'll get semi-transparent. Via the "Info"-Option it will now also
be possible to set the process-priority. The current and the New Icons
will be supported. The AppIcons will now be able to be animated.
Reaction:
The Tool Reactor will enable software-authors to use the new
Reaction-surface with their own software. One of the highlights of
Reaction is the possibility to have a color-gradient in the background
of a window. Also bugs in the asl.library will be removed.
PowerPC:
WarpUp will be integrated in it's latest version. An important part
will be the Preferences-settings which will complement the
integration.
Installer:
The installer will be able to be opened on an own screen. This screen
can have a color-gradient (where did I see this before...)-: New will
be the possibility to go steps backward during installation.
Printers:
The printer-support will be redesigned completely, so that
24-bit-printing will be possible on the WB. CyberGraphX and Picasso96
will be supported. There will be only one Printer-Setting in the
future, which will also have a preview-window showing immediately the
changed settings.
Datatypes:
Reworked and improved, now also 24-bit-capable. New are datatypes for
AIFF, JPG and GIF. Complete rework of the Amigaguide-Datatype. The
documentation will be in HTML in German and English. Release date is
still August. First Beta-Tests will start in ca. 3 weeks. AmigaOS 3.5
will be delivered on CD-ROM for 99,50 DM.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
B E T A T E S T E R S S O U G H T F O R O S 3 . 5
In May the beta testing phase for the new AmigaOS 3.5 starts.
To be considered as a beta-tester, you would have to match the
following criteria:
o Internet connection
o sufficient knowledge of the English language
o enough time for the testing
o PGP-key
o Amiga-System with the following minimum specifications: MC68020, 6
MB RAM, hard drive, CD-ROM-Drive, AGA Chipset or Graphics card, OS 3.1
ROMs
Every beta-tester will have to sign a contract, and is not allowed to
pass on any information or data, which he will be receiving during the
tests, to third parties.
Communication will only be through a closed mailing list, in the
English language.
Every beta-tester is expected to send in a report in regular
intervals.
Should you feel you are capable for this task, please fill out the
form at http://www.amiga.com. Application is only possible via the
Internet. Should Amiga accept you for testing, you will receive
confirmation from shortly. Amiga regrets it is most likely they will
not be able to take all those who are interested for beta-testing and
hope for the understanding of applicants.

W O R L D O F A M I G A ' 9 9 !
20 Apr 1999
World of Amiga '99 -it's going ahead!
PBA Events in association with AmigaSoc UK (http://uk.amigasoc.org)
are pleased to announce that the most eagerly awaited Amiga event on
everyone's calendar is going ahead. The show will be on the weekend of
24th and 25th July.
Many people have expressed the need to host the UK's premier Amiga
event at an alternative venue. Although the Novotel was selected for
reasons of tradition in the past, the time has come to break with
tradition and go for something new. This year, we'll be holding the
event in a prestigious Kensington venue which we're sure you'll agree
is a huge improvement over the Novotel!
In addition to the usual things people have come to expect from the
show, we are aiming to run a number of other events within the show.
These will be organised with the help of UK user groups, so you can
guarantee that the place will be brimming with Amiga experts with
brains just waiting to be picked!
* Games competitions: Amiga multi-player games are getting better all
the time. Now's your chance to play them with loads of other people...
and you might even win a prize!
* An Amiga cybercafe: If you're not on the Internet already, see how
easy it is to get your Amiga connected!
* Seminars: Following on from last year's hugely successful series of
seminars, we'll be getting leading Amiga people to make presentations
on various subjects (if you'd like to hold a seminar, get in touch
with Andrew Elia (E-Mail: andrew@uk.amigasoc.org) now)
* How-to sessions: If you're in any doubt as to the best way to go
about towering your A1200, or getting on the Internet, Amiga experts
from around the UK will show you how (if you've got any ideas for
potential workshops, then contact Andrew Elia (E-Mail:
andrew@uk.amigasoc.org)or use the forms soon to be available on our
website).
* Shareware registration: Your chance to register some top quality
Amiga software without all the hassle of sending money to far off
places.
* A user group hospitality area: Those that are members of registered
user groups can relax in a private and informal atmosphere while
getting the chance to hobnob with Amiga celebrities from around the
world.
* Stands for user groups: If you're not a member of a user group,
then you can come along and meet representatives from your nearest
group. On the other hand, if you're a user group and you'd like to
take the opportunity to recruit some more members, then the WOA show
is the perfect place to start. If your user group wants a piece of the
action, E-Mail Chris Livermore (E-Mail: chrisl@uk.amigasoc.org).
* The inimitable Annex: Get autographs and kisses from Amiga's own
pop group!
Undoubtedly, one of the most exciting things happening at the show
will be the launch of OS 3.5. All being well, this product should be
launched at the show and will be on sale. You won't get another chance
to try before you buy! Additionally, the next generation Amigas are
just around the corner, so you never know what else you might see!
The 1998 AAA awards (http://www.aaa-awards.org) will also be
presented at the show, so you can see first hand who will be
collecting this year's international award as well as the first ever
UK AAA award.
The official World Of Amiga website (http://www.worldofamiga.com) is
already on-line. All the latest news will be posted here. We are
currently in the process of updating it to include all the information
visitors to the show could possibly need, including details of hotels,
a map of the venue, our growing list of exhibitors, and any news
relating to the show as it becomes available to us. We also hope to
offer an on-line ticket ordering system courtesy of IMM Studios
(http://www.immstudios.com). If there's something else you feel we
should provide through the site then drop us an E-Mail
(andrew@uk.amigasoc.org)!
Be in no doubt, this show has got the full backing of Amiga.
Tickets will be priced at £7.50 for adults, and £5.00 for under 14s.
This year we will also be offering special rates for families. Two
adults and two children (under 14) enter for only £15.00!
Additionally, for people wishing to attend on both days of the show,
there will be a special booth on Saturday that will sell tickets to
existing ticket holders for Sunday's show for a mere £2.00 (£1.00 for
under 14s). There will also be a number of tempting door prizes.
Details will be made available on our website.
As far as exhibitors are concerned, we are aiming to provide a
competitive rate this year, and will also be offering special low-cost
tables to companies/organisations who are on a tight budget. In short,
we want to please everyone!
You won't want to miss it!

G.A.U.H.P.I.L. - Back for the future!
25 April 1999, Göttingen, Germany: Dietmar Knoll is proud to announce
that the Geographical Amiga Users Home Page Internet List (GAUHPIL)
is online again!
The GAUHPIL is a moderated list of personal homepages of Amiga users.
It was established as early as 1994, reached a maximum of 600 names
listed in 1997, but was offline since then.
Now the GAUHPIL is back for the future! Again, there are 600 users
listed and there will be more in the next weeks. Currently pages are
being added to the list, which is released on a bi-weekly basis.
All Amiga users are invited to send info about their personal
homepages to be added to the list.
A totally new "feature" are some banners for linking the GAUHPIL.
Any self-made banners or ideas for banners or for the GAUHPIL in
general are highly appreciated.

By Chris Seward
For Immediate Release
Amiga Information Online has now moved its web site to a registered
web domain in the UK. You can find this new site by visiting
www.aio.co.uk
The old site (www.amiga1.demon.co.uk/aio) will act as a forwarding
service to people who have the old address.
I hope you all try this new site and see the speed improvements it
brings. It is now also alot easier to remember and will of course
attract alot more readers.
The latest issue has just been released today (24.4.99) and is
already online for downloading. Our last issue featured an interview
with Petro Tyschtschenko which was very successful and is still online
to be read. You can download the latest issue (issue 23) from our site
by following the links online.
Now that we have a proper website the site will be used to let the
readers get more involved with the site instead of just using it as
the latest issue downloading point. Some of the new features online
include ALL the interviews to ever feature in AIO, all the latest
readers letters we receive online, a global Amiga survey soon to be
launched plus lots lots more like lists of all the product reviews we
have done with issues numbers and scores to make it easier to find the
issue with a review of something you want to know about.
I would like to thank some people who without, this registered site
would not be possible and people who have helped in the process of
getting to this stage. Firstly I'd like to thank all the editorial
team of AIO, past and present who have helped me bring a publication
to many readers all over the world. I would like to thank Chris Brown
for hosting the current site, even though he did slow on updates a bit
to the end and also to Andrew Crowe who created the web site which I
have hacked to bits and added various areas. I would like to thank
Conor Kerr who will be getting the registered domain for me and the
work he has done to bring it to life. Last but not least I would like
to give great thanks to the people who believed in AIO enough to
donate which without again we would not be seeing the domain today,
these great people are, Malcolm Harnden, Ian Urie, Stuart Walker,
Andrew Cashmore, Paul Steadman, Gerald Hobbs and Raynald Le Moing.

30 Apr 1999
From Andreas R. Kleinert:
Hi,
this is just a small press information on my PPC programs.
Recent tests have shown, that the latest versions of
nearly all of my PPC programs - including SView/PPC and
the akDatatypes - do perfectly work together with
Frank Wille's ppc.library emulation for WarpOS,
starting with V0.6b.
Unfortunately, WarpOS V4.0 only does include V0.6 - however,
the newest version always can be found on Frank's homepage
under http://home.owl.de/~frank/
Using the ppc.library emulation yet is the recommended
way of running my programs under WarpOS - although a few
programs/modules already do exist as WOS versions (which
mainly still are under development and not yet complete).
SView/PPC and the akDatatypes do offer preferences options
for switching between the two possible selections under
WOS: the emulation will be utilized when auto-detection
and the respective "ppclib emu" option are enabled.
As a matter of fact, the "ppc kernel controversy" now
is solved, at least regarding PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX products.
Thanks for listening.

N E W S F R O M R A N D O M I Z E
Genesis Odyssey PPC II - System Update - April 28, 1999
We are pleased to announce that we have improved the Floppy Disk
handling capapabilities of our systems. Systems now ordered with High
Density Disk Drives will be using the Catweasel from Individual
Computers making them able to not only read and write Low and High
Density Amiga and PC disks, but will also be able to read and write
the XTRA-HD Format (2380 KB) as well as the ability to set up your own
drivers for Atari, Commodore 1581 and Mac DD Formats.
We will also be offering the Catweasel ZII which includes all the
functionality of the Catweasel plus the Buddah providing 3 IDE
interfaces capable of 6 IDE/ATAPI devices (12 by putting IDE-Fix 1200
on each of the 3 IDE ports). The Catweasel ZII requires a ZorroII
busboard to be present in the system.
We have also improved the IDE interface performance by including the
IDE-Fix 1200 adapter by Individual Computers. IDE-Fix 1200 allows for
the conenction of 4 IDE / ATAPI devices to the A1200, improves
performance and allows for compatibiltiy of ATAPI Zip drives and LS
120 Drives. You can increase the IDE Preformance with the IDE-Fix
Express allowing for transfer rates up to 5 MB/sec. and better
multitasking. IDE-Fix Express can easily be added to the IDE-Fix 1200
already part of the Genesis System.
-------------
We do feel it appropriate to respond to comparisons made of our
Genesis Towerhawk vs. the AlienBoxer.
It should be noted that we have dropped the Genesis Towerhawk from
our product line due to the confusion between it and our Odyssey PPC
system. In revamping our product line, we have moved to a
"Build-Your-Own" paridym letting users build their system exactly as
they'd like it. We have kept some pre-made systems for those that are
not familiar enough with the Amiga to build their own and systems that
are built as solutions.
Let us state that we think the idea of a new Amiga motherboard is a
great idea and long overdue and that we support this effort for their
development on this motherboard. We are even interested in adding a
system to our Genesis line that would be based on this motherboard and
will seriously consider that possiblity when we can get our hands on a
Boxer motherboard.
This has always been our company policy re. the Boxer board. Like
wise, it has been our policy to only adversise and market those
products that we can actually deliver. Using this as a basis, we are
designing systems using the A1200 as a motherboard. We think that this
offers some substantial advantages:
o PPC Standard on our systems, 060 and 030 downgrades as an option
o "No questions asked" compatibility
o complete expandibility and modularity - add on only those parts and
features you want
o access to a huge and growing amount of A1200 expansion products
o access to an established base of Zorro Card via our Zorro card
module
o access to new and exiting CPU options as them become available,
including the new G3 boards
o access to PCI boards that will be connected to G3 accelerators
o cost effective 24 Bit Graphics (8MB Permedia 2) with local bus to
CPU
o Video Toaster Flyer compatiblity via Video Slot and Zorro card
modules
o Amiga Magic Bundle included plus Personal Paint 7.1 and a full
suite of other applications
o OS 3.5 like features built into pre-installed OS including
NewIcons,
Internet Support, etc.
o all drivers for hardware pre-installed in OS
o huge amount of storage space - 6 x 5.25" bays, 4 x 3.5" bay, 1 x
2.5" bay
Regarding Price
Genesis Odyssey PPC II incl.
o 060 50Mhz and PPC 160Mhz (we'll soon have the 060 clocked at 66Mhz
soon)
o 16 MB, 3.2 GB HD, 40x CD
All this for $1699.95 US .. thats more speed and Hard Drive space
than the Alien Boxer.
To match the Boxer, we'd need to add a Zorro bus and a modem
o Zorro Bus - $210 US
o USRobitic v.90 Modem - $225 US
You'll see that this makes the price of the Odyssey PPC II system
more than the Alien Boxer at $1795 US, but you've got PPC, a larger
Hard Drive and Faster CD including ASIMCDFS software. And the modem is
a high quality USRobotics, basically the best you can buy! Also, there
is really no need for the Zorro Slot card as in this configuration it
is not being used for anything so lets take it out.
The Total Odyssey PPC II is now 1924.95. Just slightly more than the
Alien Boxer but with PPC, larger Hard Drive, a great modem and
everything else mentioned above.
We haven't even yet talked about our experience and expertise doing
systems. Your Genesis system comes backed up by Randomize, Inc. will
long experience with all the manufactures involved plus our one year
parts warrentee.
We're not saying that we have all the solutions and that the Alien
Boxer isn't appropriate in some situation, we simply suggest you
compare carefully.
Having said that, we are always open to system suggestions. Please
email us at sales@randomize.com with your suggestions, comments,
questions, and orders.

The Amiga RC5 Team Effort ist durch PowerPC stärker geworden
Bereits 500 PPC-User helfen mit, bei
The Amiga RC5 Team Effort
den Code zu knacken! Jeder weitere User, der seinen Computer
für das Amiga-RC5-Team mitrechnen lassen möchte, ist willkommen.
Lesen Sie dazu auch die Pressemitteilung von Thomas Tavoly:
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
April 29th 1999
The Amiga RC5 Team effort strengthened by PowerPC
As of today over 500 PowerPC equipped Amigas are participating in the
Amiga RC5 Team effort, or over one quarter of all Amigas participating.
This is a clear indication of where Amiga users go when they need more
power.
Combined with the announcements from Amiga Inc./International promising
PowerPC support in the upcoming update(s) to AmigaOS our path is clear: new
clients supporting WarpOS are already in development.
Naturally 68k users are not left out in the cold, a new 68k client with
a faster core is also being worked on. While this has run into some
difficulty due to a hardware failure, the situation is expected to be
remedied soon.
The RC5-64 effort is proceeding along well, the Amiga team is third largest
out of thousands (with over 1800 members and 3300 machines), and
consistently scores in the top five daily. We are currently ranked sixth
overall, and steadily moving towards the fifth spot. This gives the Amiga
some well deserved exposure, and hopefully in the coming months that will
only increase as Amiga is relaunched with an updated OS and major industry
support.
Future plans involve moving to open source development and more efforts,
starting with the addition of Optimal Golomb Rulers (or OGR) to the currently
running RC5-64 challenge, later anything you like on a plug-in basis. That
could entail anything from distributed rendering to research in the field
of diseases etc.
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
Thomas Tavoly - rc5@amiga.cistron.nl

A.C.T.-Umfrage wird am 20.05.99 auslaufen
Die Existenz der Umfrage von A.C.T. auf http://www.act-net.com/news.html
wurde den meisten Print- und Onlinemedien vor ausreichend langer Zeit
bekannt gegeben. Jede Umfrage muß eines Tages beendet werden -
Entscheidungen müssen fallen.
Projekte, die bis zum Stichtag nicht genügend Stimmen erhalten haben,
werden fallen gelassen. Sollte kein Projekt ausreichend Resonanz
erfahren und sollte Amiga Inc nach wie vor jeden Kontakt vermeiden, wird
A.C.T. ab Ende Mai 1999 keine Amiga Produkte mehr entwickeln,
unterstützen oder vertreiben.
Die existierenden Produkte stünden dann für dritte Parteien zum Kauf zur
Verfügung (Rechte-Übernahme).

Thomas Raukamp: Erklärung zur Übernahme der Fever
Wie schon vor einigen Tagen auf der Homepage der
Amiga Fever bekannt gegeben,
haben wir mit sofortiger Wirkung dieses Magazin übernommen. Beide
Zeitschriften sind mit sehr viel Engagement und Enthusiasmus in den Markt
gestartet. Umso schöner ist es also, daß durch die Integration der Fever
unter Leitung der amigaOS ein noch größerer Wirkungskreis erreicht wird und
wir unsere Position am Markt im Sinne aller Amiga-Fans weiter ausbauen
werden, um hier endgültig das tragende Medium dazustellen.
Abonnenten der Amiga Fever erhalten in diesen Tagen die amigaOS automatisch
per Post. Bitte haben Sie Verständnis dafür, daß die Abwicklung der Übernahme
der Abodaten einige Tage in Anspruch nehmen kann, schließlich wollen wir
vermeiden, daß die Leser, die bisher beide Magazine abonniert hatten, eine
Doppellieferung erhalten.
Sollten Sie weitere Fragen zu Ihrem Abo haben, schreiben Sie bitte an unseren
Abovertrieb abo@amigaos.de, für allgemeine
Fragen stehen wir unter unserer gewohnten eMail info@amigaos.de
für Sie bereit.
Thomas Raukamp

CD-Album 'uNDEFINABLE TUNEs'
Andre Lorbach schreibt:
Ich hab meine neues CD-ALBUM jetzt fertig. Es nennt sich "uNDEFINABLE TUNEs"
und beinhaltet hauptsächlich selbstgemachte Trance-, House- und Hardcore-tracks.
Alle Tracks sind ausschließlich auf dem AMIGA enstanden, und wurden mit
OctaMED Soundstudio abgemischt.
Auf meiner Homepage http://deltaray.webjump.com/
kann man sich von jedem Track einen Beispielsound runterladen,
und selbst urteilen ;-)!

Der Gewinner der Hypercom 4+ ist Frank Paries aus Hattingen :-)
Herzlichen Glückwunsch Frank! Frank hat den entscheidenden Klick um genau 8.41 Uhr
gemacht, hat einen Screenshot eingeschickt, der das dokumentiert und auf diesem Screenshot
stimmt auch die Klickzahl des rechten Zählers mit dem seinerzeitigen Wert überein.
Natürlich habe ich mich gefragt, wie es sein kann, daß insgesamt sieben
Leute Screenshot eingeschickt haben, aber auch dafür gibt es eine Erklärung:
WebHits hat eine Reloadsperre im Zähler eingebaut. Aus diesem Grund ist es möglich,
daß jemand, der innerhalb einer bestimmten Frist mehrmals auf der Seite war, einen
Zählerstand zu sehen bekommt, der von jemand anderem erzeugt wurde.

Der 100.000ste Besucher (maßgeblich ist der Zähler links unten) von amiga-news.de
bekommt von VMC Kommunikation eine superschnelle Hypercom 4+ spendiert :). Es ist eine Schnittstellenkarte,
die sich am A2/3/4000 betreiben läßt, 4 serielle Ports und 2 PC/AT Druckerports hat.
Eine tolle Idee von VMC, wie ich finde :-). Als Beweis muß der 100.000ste

auch die komplette Adresse mit angeben.

Pressemitteilung: DCE lizensiert Phase5-Produkte
Frankfurt, 27.04.1999
Gute Nachrichten für alle Amiga-Anwender, die ihrem Rechner zu mehr
Leistung verhelfen wollen: Die DCE GmbH aus Oberhausen, langjähriger Hersteller einer
umfangreichen Palette von Hardware-Zubehör für AMIGA Computersysteme, und phase 5 digital
products aus Oberursel, Entwickler und Hersteller leistungsstarker Prozessor-, Grafik- und SCSI-
Karten für AMIGA-Rechner, geben hiermit den Abschluß eines Lizenzvertrages bekannt,
der es der DCE GmbH ermöglicht, ab sofort eine Reihe von phase 5-Produkten, die aufgrund der Fokussierung
auf PPC-Upgrades aus dem Programm von phase 5 genommen wurden, unter Lizenz zu fertigen und
zu vertreiben. Es handelt sich dabei im einzelnen um die folgenden bekannten Produkte:
- Blizzard 1220/4
- Blizzard 1230-IV
- Blizzard 1240 T/ERC
- Blizzard 1260
- Blizzard SCSI-Kit IV für Blizzard 1230-IV, 1240 und 1260
- Blizzard 2040 und Blizzard 2060
- CyberVision64/3D sowie Scandoubler dazu
- Cyberstorm Mklll
Mit Abschluß dieser Lizenzvereinbarung wird die kontinuierliche
Verfügbarkeit der 68k-basierten
Prozessorkarten von phase 5 digital products, sowie der diversen o.g. Zubehörkarten, auf Dauer
gesichert; damit wollen die beiden Hersteller auch ein Zeichen des fortgesetzten Supports fur den
Amiga-Markt setzen. "Wir sind sehr froh, daß wir in der DCE GmbH einen Partner gefunden haben,
der die Produkte fortführt, die wir aufgrund unserer Fokussierung auf die PPC-Linie aus dem
Portfolio genommen haben, und der die technische Kompetenz sowie die langjährige Amiga-
Erfahrung mitbringt, die Produkte auf dem gewohnt hohen Qualitätsniveau zu fertigen, den
flächendeckenden Vertrieb zu gewährleisten und die Kunden optimal zufriedenzustellen" sagt
dazu Wolf Dietrich, Geschäftsführer von phase 5 digital products.
Thomas Dellert, Geschätsführer
der DCE GmbH, ergänzt: "Durch diese Kooperation können viele Anwender jetzt wieder die
leistungsstarken Produkte, die in den vergangenen Monaten nicht verfügbar werden, zu
attraktiven Preisen beziehen, und ihre bestehenden Systeme so optimal aufrüsten und Up-to-date
halten".
Die künftig von DCE unter Lizenz hergestellten Produkte sind im internationalen Testvergleich als
vielfache Testsieger prämiert, und repräsentieren auch heute noch eine führende 68k-
Beschleunigertechnologie für AMIGA 1200 und 3000/4000 sowie kompatible Systeme.

Meeting mit Jim Collas
Gestern fand in Frankfurt ein Meeting zwischen Jim Collas und Händlern,
Entwicklern, Presse und Usergruppen statt. Jim Collas stellte sich
der Amigaszene vor, informierte die Anwesenden ausführlich über die
Strategie und Pläne zur Realisierung des AmigaNG, stand allen Rede und
Antwort und konnte sich gleichzeitig ein Bild von der Szene in Deutschland machen.
Er hat Anregungen und Vorschläge aufmerksam verfolgt und ist intensiv
auf Statements einzelner eingegangen.
Ich habe Jim Collas als einen Mann erlebt, der sehr charismatisch ist
und wirklich in der Lage ist, etwas zu bewegen. In seiner langen
Rede spürte ich, daß er vom "Spirit of Amiga" 'infiziert' ist.
Mit KnowHow und Power geht er an die Verwirklichung seiner terminlich festgelegten
Ziele, die klar strukturiert, aber auch revolutionär sind.
Ein Mann mit Visionen, Weitblick und vor allem Kompetenz.
Ich hatte nach all den vielen Versprechungen der letzten Jahre das erste Mal
das Gefühl, nun passiert wirklich was, es kommt Bewegung in den fast zum
Stillstand gekommenen Zug Amiga. Ich glaube nicht zu übertreiben, wenn
ich sage, daß wir uns auf eine phantastische Amiga-Zukunft freuen
können.

Amiga Fever wird in die amigaOS integriert
+++ AMIGA-aktuell-Special +++
Amiga Fever wird in die amigaOS integriert. Hier noch das offizielle Statement von Malte Mundt auf der Amiga Fever Website:
Im Schlusswort von AMIGA aktuell 12/98 haben wir gewarnt, dass die
scheinbar wieder stabilisierte Situation des Amiga-Zeitschriftenmarktes
nicht unbedingt von langer Dauer sein muss. Jetzt scheint sich dies zu
bewahrheiten:
Amiga Fever wird in die amigaOS integriert (27.04.99)
»Lieber Amiga Fever-Leser!
Im November 1998 gingen wir mit unserem neuen Magazin an den Start.
Unsere Zielsetzung war klar: Eine neue Amiga-Zeitschrift sollte den
muede gewordenen Markt beleben. Mit aktuellen News, objektiven Tests
und lesenswerten Berichten konnten wir von Anfang an unsere Leser
begeistern.
Zeitgleich mit der Amiga Fever hatte man beim Falke-Verlag ebenfalls
die Zeichen der Zeit und die Notwendigkeit fuer ein neues
Amiga-Magazin erkannt und so entstand die amigaOS, die sich
ebenfalls immer groesserer Beliebtheit erfreut hat, seit sie erschienen
ist.
Seit dem wurde viel Arbeit doppelt geleistet: Soft- und Hardware wurde
hier und dort getestet, beide Hefte mussten layoutet, dann gedruckt und
schliesslich ueber den Vertrieb in den Handel gebracht werden. Deshalb
ist jetzt der Zeitpunkt gekommen, zusammen fuer unsere gemeinsamen
Ziele einzutreten. Unter der professionellen Leitung des Falke-Verlags
integrieren wir die Amiga Fever in die amigaOS.
So ist es moeglich, eine bessere Marktposition einzunehmen und
effizienter fuer den Amiga und seine User einzutreten. Ich bin mir sicher,
dass wir damit die beste Loesung fuer eine gesicherte Zukunft im
Amiga-Zeitschriftenmarkt gewaehlt haben.
Ihr
Malte Mundt
Chefredakteur

Ortsgespräche vermutlich bald gratis
Telefonkunden werden für Ortsgespräche bald nichts mehr bezahlen müssen.
Davon geht die Mehrheit der lokalen Telefongesellschaften in Deutschland aus.
Ein Jahr nach Marktöffnung hat die Münchner Unternehmensberatung
Mc Loughlin Associates die deutschen City-Carrier nach ihrer Einschätzung des
Marktes befragt. Demnach rechnen mehr als 60 Prozent der lokalen Telefongesellschaften
mit der Einführung kostenloser Ortsgespräche in Deutschland. 35 Prozent
unter ihnen gehen sogar davon aus, daß es Gratistelefonate schon binnen eines
Jahres geben wird. Damit deutet sich endlich die lang erwartete Wende im Ortsbereich an,
nachdem die Telekom lange vor der Liberalisierung eine bis zu 150prozentige
Preiserhöhung im Ortsbereich verfügt hatte. Kompletter Artikel Link oben.

KOSH summary Nr. 17
KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]
Weekly Summary
Week Commencing: 17th April 1999
Number: 017
Mailing List: kosh-general
In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.
a)
Subject: Eye tracking cameras
Summary of debate: It would be forward thinking of KOSH to support eye tracking
cameras natively, rather than as an added kludge to certain
existing systems.
See: http://www.visioncs.com/ re: a commercial gaze tracker.
It was suggested that on screen a mouse pointer could still
be required so that you would know where you are looking at.
However, such a system may not work as if the cursor isn't
always exactly where you're looking, you'd start to follow
it with your eyes and create a runaway feedback loop.
Bite-on switches or ear muscle tension systems were offered
as an alternative to blinking to select icons on a screen,
as the eyes must blink naturally and this could cause
confusion.
It was stated that brainwave reading is progressing fast, a
"click" can already be read. This yet again shows that there
are many alternative ways to controlling input to a
computer.
Could the Artificial Muscle Research Institute help with the
realization of haptic display gloves? The idea suggested was
for a shoulder length glove that allowed the user to feel
virtual holographic objects, push them around, sculpt
computer graphics like clay and have a virtual keyboard.
See the AMRIs URL at: http://www.unm.edu/~amri/index.html
(Scribe's note: I've decided to take the liberty of
mentioning directly here for people who may only read the
summaries and not the whole General ML that all of the above
does not mean the end of the computer mouse - if you want to
use one with KOSH it will of course be perfectly possible to
do so).
b)
Subject: KOSH design standards
Summary of debate: It was stated and restated that design standards for KOSH
are to be open - viewable and usable by all.
It was asked what common standards are people going to have
to adhere to in designing items for KOSH?
Joel Newkirk resuggested a "Standards Working Group".
Suggested standards to determine initially were
communications, media and hardware. For these APIs will be
needed.
A generic image class could be developed and then formats
like GIF, PNG, BMP, IFF/ILBM etc fall out as subclasses -
perhaps with restrictions which may need thinking about.
Suggested five basic types of standards (Sound, Image,
Movie, Text, Settings) could possibly make up most normal
formats needed. Further, could we make a quick
design/requirement of these five?
It was commented that would these types hold up in current
usage? For example, the whole of a magazine could be one
file - including bitmaps, structured images, fonts, masks,
text layout etc. The large structure is on top of the
individual elements, but all the parts are functionally
linked and not just separate items.
The method of transmitting the instructions for creating
data needs to be considered. The example given was that of a
MIDI file which requires an interpreter with local knowledge
as opposed to a a WAV which contains the data itself.
Suitable low level objects might be n-dimensional arrays of
integers. At the next level up, these might be labelled as
representing sound samples, stock market trends, bitmaps or
GUI windows etc.
c)
Subject KOSH Hybrids
Summary of debate: Perhaps it could be possible to combine object types to
make hybrids, eg: image + sound = movie.
An image can be flat 2D, a 3D array or X by Y by RGB; a
multilayered Photoshop/ArtEffect projects or many other
occurrences. A database is equally complex - with this is
mind the "hybrid" is the norm.
Would the IFF list of forms be of any help for the hybrids?
It was then stated by the original proposer of hybrids that
perhaps it would be better to make (for example) a Movie
basic class and then let it use the Sound and Image basic
classes.
d)
Subject: Small tools for KOSH and cross application compatibility
Summary of debate: Suggested that Unix like commands like WC should be
implemented in KOSH. Further by nature of the fact that KOSH
uses objects and not files, the wordprocessed object would
listen to wordprocessor methods when the wordprocessor loads
it. If it was made a subclass of "ASCII file" (or Unicode or
UTF-8 etc) you could process the ASCII representation
(or Unicode or UTF-8) in a KOSH version of "WC" or "Emacs".
e)
Subject: KOSH compatibility with the wider world
Summary of debate: There will definitely be some sort of "customs agent" for
this. This may well be complicated or perhaps there would be
several of them.
This would build an appropriate file object for any items
downloaded or loaded from hard media (floppy, CD etc). An
API as part of this would be a standardized place for things
like virus checkers to be added.
A browser could even be very simple. It needs a simple
display engine and the ability to interpret the web and
translate it into objects. These objects (those five
mentioned above and the specialised subclasses) then display
themselves. This would make "plug-ins" redundant as once a
class for that type of media was on a system it could
display or use it.
The Emulator Object could be a part of the chain of
subclasses from the base classes. This could save a lot of
special cases which would promote simplicity.
Suggested that the emulation could be split into common
parts and into the instruction sets of the processors in
question. To do this the emulation of, for example movie
formats, could be put into the movies chain of subclassing.
The emulation should be last in the chain and should scan
the different plug-ins (or equivalent) available and use
them.
f)
Subject: Designing KOSH APIs
Summary of debate: It was mentioned that APIs will be needed for a number of
things described above. KOSHans could work on these now as
it is not necessary to know the final binary form of an
object in order to work out the methods and data structures
that can optimally manage such a thing.
The design of a serial port was mentioned. See:
http://www.sei.cmu.edu, search for "product line
architecture" which goes into the question of what you can
have in common between designs (eg: sending and receiving
data) and what you need to vary for each special occasion
(eg: you can't do the same thing to the serial port as you
can to your USB port).
Suggested we establish some clearinghouse for API
recommendations - perhaps a working group could oversee
that.
g)
Subject: KOSH Object Manager
Summary of debate: Dave Haynie has said that he hope to get a paper on this
done by June or July. After this a prototypical
demonstration Object Manager can be hacked together.
Then we want the floodgates loosed and all of the pieces of
the OS to be developed.
h)
Subject: KOSH Driver factory
Summary of debate: It was proposed that a "driver factory" that could enable
its users to choose the appropriate "standard" class to work
from, and make various associations and connections quickly
and simply, and then write any necessary code to support
additions or modifications.
This would make developing for KOSH easier and thus hardware
developers would be more likely to develop for the system.
The "driver factory" could be part of a developer support
package or program.
i)
Subject: Furthering KOSH
Summary of debate: Fleecy Moss has suggested that we need to move to a more
concentrated stage in KOSH where we can proceed without
distraction. To this end he has suggested two things:
1) A formal documentation and version control system so we
can all work together in a remote environment,
2) KOSH will start as a formal specification of its
individual parts and its environment. Once the
specifications are out, anyone with a mind can produce the
individual pieces themselves. What is required is a formal
specification language to define the interfaces.
Fleecy further detailed other things that are required:
a) One of the things to be identified is the Basic Sea
Services Set, the minimal services provided by the cybersea
that are required for the sea to exist.
b) The services pages also contains a lot of other services.
A write up for each of them listing what we would like them
to do would be a first stage to moving forwards.
c) BOSS - Basic OS Services - this entity is the gateway
between the logical sea and the physical matrix beneath.
someone to have a go at defining the Basic OS Services
required by the sea.
d) A development strategy - perhaps this should be phased,
with the early phases seeing us implement KOSH as an
application.
The BOSS can be a thin server, mapping KOSH to an underlying
kernal, which is suggested as being POSIX compliant, running
on an x86 - this enables us to use Linux and all of its
tools and x86s, which are the dominant computer, and the one
most ppl have access to at this time.
Whilst KOSH is supposed to be hardware independent, the
implementation of a neutral distribution format will have to
wait until a later phase.
Suggested that were possible KOSH should be defined and
implemented using XML. We need more information and a
coherent plan, positives and negatives.
e) We can do KOSH correctly, in which it is logically
correct with full integrity, or we can tie it to hardware
considerations, for speed. Fleecy states that speed will
always increase, and he would rather get it right at the
beginning for the sake of speed rather than to hack and path
later on because we went for speed. Elegance through
simplicity, but elegance requires coherence and not
compromise.
j)
Subject: Questions on the future of KOSH
Summary of debate: The following important questions were raised:
How is the KOSH website coming along?
How is KOSH as a whole coming along?
To this end, which papers are written, how far have they
come, can they be reviewed?
Where can those who are doing nothing but writing to the
mailing lists help?
k)
Subject: Documentation and version control system
Summary of debate: Gabriel J. Hauber has volunteered to look at what has been
done so far in building the above and try to get it
completed in a reasonable time.
l)
Subject: Anyone know where Rudi is?
Summary of debate: If anyone has current contact details for Rudi please could
they post them to the General Mailing List.
m)
Subject: F-CPU
Summary of debate: An interesting project called F-CPU can be seen at:
http://f-cpu.tux.org/original/
n)
Subject: Query on the survey content
Summary of debate: The Surveying Working Group is unsure whether to ask people
whether alien file format support is desired or not. The
problem with asking is that (from a survey of the Surveying
WG it would seem!) half the people think it would worry
people that we looked like we weren't sure about it, while
the other half think it would reassure people that we were
thinking of it.
The Surveying WG does not want to just declare "we are
supporting alien file formats" as this should be left to a
survey. Therein lies the problem.

AmigaRA - Petition - Website wird ein Jahr alt
Die AmigaRA Website, die die
Petition zur Portierung des RealPlayers auf den Amiga startete, ist ein Jahr alt geworden.
Herzlichen Glückwunsch! Weitere Einzelheiten siehe offizielle Mitteilung:
Press release 25 April 1999
AmigaRA, the web site that hosts a petition to port RealPlayer
for the Amiga, is today one year old !
Happy birthday, but its time to do some historic :
* Real replied one year ago they had already too much problems
with the G2 player (unsolved problems yet, as the Linux G2
version isn't out even by now)
* AmigaRA didn't go into real work or heavy contacts with Real
now for two reasons :
a) We have to wait that Real releases all G2 version to start
asking them about porting it to the Amiga
b) We'll have to see first with Amiga Inc, they could maybe
help us on that matter
* The total of promised money is... US$ 31'904 !!!
Future :
In the next months, new mailing-lists will be started, one for
developers, and another one for users...

wARPgATe Website ist umgezogen
Und hier auch gleich noch eine News von der wARPgATe Seite: Shogo wird auf den Amiga portiert.
Hyperion hat heute bekannt gegeben, daß Shogo durch Digital Images auf Amiga portiert
wird. Shogo wird unter PPC mit WarpOS laufen. Einzelheiten unter
wARPgATE News.
Nachtrag 28.04.1999:
Hans-Jörg Frieden schreibt per eMail:
Ich war gerade auf deiner News-Page und habe den Hinweis auf unseren
Shogo-Port gesehen. Du schreibst, daß der Port von Digital Images
durchgeführt wird. Dies stimmt so nicht ganz.
Der Port wird von uns, also Hyperion, selbst durchgeführt. Digital
Images waren beim Einfädeln des Deals dabei, haben aber mit dem Port an
sich nichts zu tun.
Danke für die Info Hans-Jörg, das hatte ich in der Tat falsch
verstanden.

VMC
|
Was tut sich bei HyperCOM und VMC-ISDN?
Nach einem bösen Plattencrash und mehreren Wochen mühseliger Kleinarbeit,
konnten zumindest die aktuellen HyperCOM, und ein großer Teil der VMC-ISDN
Treiber gerettet werden. Für die HyperCOM Karten wird es in den nächsten
Tagen ein neues Update geben. Bei der VMC-ISDN Software werden derzeit einige der
fehlenden Teile komplett neu geschrieben und noch sehr ausgiebigen Tests unterzogen.
Dies bedeutet, daß es noch gut ein paar Wochen dauern kann, bis eine neue
Version ausgeliefert wird, und auch solange keine Registration der bisher angebotenen
VMC-ISDN Software durchgeführt werden kann.
Alle Kunden die VMC-ISDN schon bestellt haben, sind also nicht vergessen, oder
ignoriert, oder abgelehnt worden, sondern müssen sich nur noch ein wenig
länger Gedulden, bis wir wieder ausliefern können. Weitere Infos, auch
zum neuen Support-Forum, welches in den nächsten Tagen online gehen wird, finden
Sie unter obigen Link.

PalmLink Version 1.2
System-Library, verbindet den Amiga mit dem 3Com Palm Pilot Personal, Professional,
Palm III, Palm IIIx, Palm V, und kompatible. Mit allen Entwicklerunterlagen, sowie
einem Tool zum Anfertigen von Backups und Installieren von Programmen.
Identify v11.0,
ist eine system shared library, mit deren Hilfe kryptische Zahlencodes in eine von
Menschen lesbare Form umgesetzt wird. Die ursprüngliche Anwendung (durch die
bekannte expname.library) war die Decodierung der Hersteller- und Produkt-Codes von
Amiga-Erweiterungskarten. Mit der identify.library geht die expname.library jetzt
in die zweite Generation. Der Programmcode wurde völlig überarbeitet, optimiert,
verbessert und erweitert.

AIO mit neuer Website und Issue 23 ist fertig
AIO ist ab sofort unter http://www.aio.co.uk
zu erreichen. Unter 'Misc' können Sie Interviews und und Leserbriefe nun auch online
lesen. Weitere Einzelheiten in der offiziellen Mitteilung:
For Immediate Release: 24.4.99
Amiga Information Online has now moved its web site to a registered web
domain in the UK. You can find this new site by visiting www.aio.co.uk
The old site (www.amiga1.demon.co.uk/aio) will act as a forwarding
service to people who have the old address.
I hope you all try this new site and see the speed improvements it
brings. It is now also alot easier to remember and will of course attract
alot more readers.
The latest issue has just been released today (24.4.99) and is already
online for downloading. Our last issue featured an interview with
Petro Tyschtschenko which was very successful and is still online to
be read. You can download the latest issue (issue 23) from our site
by following the links online.
Now that we have a proper website the site will be used to let the
readers get more involved with the site instead of just using it as
the latest issue downloading point. Some of the new features online
include ALL the interviews to ever feature in AIO, all the latest
readers letters we receive online, a global Amiga survey soon to be
launched plus lots lots more like lists of all the product reviews
we have done with issues numbers and scores to make it easier to find
the issue with a review of something you want to know about.
I would like to thank some people who without, this registered site would
not be possible and people who have helped in the process of getting to
this stage. Firstly I'd like to thank all the editorial team of AIO, past
and present who have helped me bring a publication to many readers all
over the world. I would like to thank Chris Brown for hosting the current
site, even though he did slow on updates a bit to the end and also to
Andrew Crowe who created the web site which I have hacked to bits and
added various areas. I would like to thank Conor Kerr who will be getting
the registered domain for me and the work he has done to bring it to life.
Last but not least I would like to give great thanks to the people who
believed in AIO enough to donate which without again we would not be
seeing the domain today, these great people are, Malcolm Harnden, Ian
Urie, Stuart Walker, Andrew Cashmore, Paul Steadman, Gerald Hobbs and
Raynald Le Moing.

Lesung aus "Hackerland" im Comed-Saal im Mediapark in Köln
Heute abend um 20.00 h wird im Comed-Saal im Mediapark in Köln eine
Lesung von Denis Moschitto und Evrim Sen aus ihrem Buch "Hackerland"
gehalten. In diesem Buch (Tropen-Verlag) geht es um die Computerszene
als solche und der Name "Amiga" wird nicht oft verwendet, ABER die beiden
sind Mitglieder der Amigademogruppe "Nuance", sprechen AUSFÜHRLICH
in diesem Buch über Szenestrukturen, ohne sich der Gefahr auszusetzten
bestimmte Leute zu defamieren. Spätestens in der abschließenden
Greetingslist am Ende des Buches wird klar: das sind (ausschließlich)
Amigaleute, denn hier werden fast nur Amigagruppen gegrüßt.
Bei der Lesung heute abend werden (alte) Amigacracktros und die beiden
bestplaziertesten Amigademos der letzten "MekkaSymposium" auf großer
Leinwand gezeigt.
Auch werden MODs (Protrackermodule) der beiden Szenemusiker vorgespielt.
Die Kölner Abteilung des ChaosComputerClubs wird wohl auch anwesend sein.
Die beiden Autoren schreiben nebenbei auch über die Szene in der "amigaOS",
zusammen mit Nico Barbat.
Wer nicht zu der Lesung gehen kann: Das Buch wird in Kürze im Buchhandel
für DM 24,80 zu kaufen sein. Unter ISBN-Nr. 393 217 0296 können Sie
das Buch in jeder Buchhandlung vorbestellen oder auch direkt online unter dem

Spam: EU-Richtlinie sieht Robinson-Liste vor
Heute hat der Rechtsauschuß des Europäischen Parlaments die
"Richtlinie über bestimmte rechtliche Aspekte des elektronischen
Geschäftsverkehrs im Binnenmarkt"
verabschiedet. Sie regelt unter anderem die Zulässigkeit von
"unerbetener kommerzieller Kommunikation durch elektronische Post"
(Spam). Sollte die Richtlinie in ihrer jetzigen Form auch im
Parlament verabschiedet werden, so muß EMail-Werbung
künftig "unzweideutig" als solche gekennzeichnet sein.
Außerdem müssen die Mitgliedsstaaten der EU dann
gewährleisten, daß sich Verbraucher in ein
"opt-out"-Register ("Robinson-Liste") eintragen lassen
können, um sich gegen den Empfang von Spam
auszusprechen. Ganzer Artikel, siehe Link oben.

WarpUp Release 4
Im Zentrum des Release 4 von WarpUP stehen zahlreiche Erweiterungen, welche von
Entwicklern gewünscht worden sind, damit sie ihre Projekte möglichst
einfach und effizient verwirklichen können. Es ist damit zu rechnen, daß
schon sehr bald Software erscheinen wird, welche die Installation von WarpUP 4
zwingend notwendig machen.
WarpUP 4 möchte auch eine Brücke schlagen. Mit der Beigabe der
PowerUP-Emulation von Frank Wille wird die Möglichkeit geschaffen,
PowerUP-Applikationen unter WarpOS laufenzulassen, so daß selbst diese
Applikationen von den überragenden Multitasking-Eigenschaften des WarpOS
profitieren können. Die beigelegte Version unterstützt bereits die
neuen Funktionen von WarpUP 4. Die wichtigsten
Neuerungen.

KOSH summary Nr. 16
KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]
Weekly Summary
Week Commencing: 10th April 1999
Number: 016
Mailing List: kosh-general
In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.
a)
Subject: Keyboards (continued)
Summary of debate: Suggested that a keyboard could have an LCD on each key
which could be programmable by the computer. Keymaps for
individual games and serious applications could then be
made. If the LCDs were like the Mac screens that appeared a
few years ago and only required power when the display on
one of the LCDs was altered then the power consumption
would be low. Presumably such a keyboard would initially
cost a lot.
b)
Subject: General "serial controlled device" class
Summary of debate: Suggested that the above could be used to control (for
example) the LEGO computer chip that recently appeared on
the market.
Another suggested use for something along these lines is a
landmine clearance robot - something that could greatly
reduce the risk to clearance personnel. This was described
in detail and noted that the cost of the system must be low
enough that people in developing countries can afford to
build and use their own units.
c)
Subject: Eye movement recognition systems
Summary of debate: It was asked how likely an eye recognition system for a home
computer will be in the near future at an affordable price.
Such a system could be used (for example) to control a
pointer on screen instead of a mouse.
A separate computer could power the pointing device. It
would be a sub-$1 microcontroller. The actual devices to
measure the position of the eye (what it is looking at and
what it is doing, eg: blinking) should come in at under $5.
It was pointed out that the entire device could be built
into glasses, however not everyone wears and/or would want to
wear glasses while using a computer.
d)
Subject: Crashes and recovery
Summary of debate: Some discussion was held on Windows and scandisk that
activates if a crash results. It was pointed out that even
though KOSH will be much more stable we should still have
repair utilities -just-in-case-.
However, these should be more intuitive that things like
scandisk and should, for instance, give the option to view
the result of a change before that change takes place.
e)
Subject: Web site expression list
Summary of debate: It was suggested that a database on a web page (presumably
somewhere at http://www.kosh.net) be setup that allows
people to add a word and an explanation to a list just by
mailing them to a particular location or by filling in a
form on the web site.
It was noted that there would have to be protection against
certain words and phrases to prevent abuse of this. Perhaps
a human would have to check all submissions before they
could be included.
f)
Subject: kosh-terminology-o Mailing List
Summary of debate: The above ML has been created by Jason Radford.
Email majordomo@kosh.net with the words "subscribe
kosh-terminology-o" in the body to subscribe.
g)
Subject: [KOSH] email prefix
Summary of debate: The prefix [KOSH] has been added to each message for easier
management of messages by those using shell accounts or
message filters.
h)
Subject: Daylight Saving Time
Summary of debate: It was noted that the 23 hour day in April and the 25 hour
day in the fall need to be represented in KOSH.
It was further noted that not everything goes on DST and
that most graphic systems aren't designed to handle a
missing or duplicated unit on a coordinate axis.

Uhrenport-Erweiterung

(owi) Immer mehr Erweiterungen nutzen den Uhrenport des Amiga 1200, u.a.
Soundkarten und Controller. Mit einem Manko: Nur ein Modul konnte bisher an
diesem Port betrieben werden. Hier nun schafft
RBM Digitaltechnik
Abhilfe: Der "Quaddddroport" erlaubt den gleichzeitigen Betrieb von
3 IOBlix-Modulen und einem weiteren Clockport-Modul am Uhrenport.
Der Preis: 69 Mark (bei RBM,Tel. 05651/8097-0).

GAUDI
Unser Club erstellt ein Verzeichnis aller Amiga User und Firmen in
Deutschland. Alle Daten sind dann online über eine Datenbank abrufbar.
Ein Amiga User kann dann z.B. anhand der PLZ User in seiner Umgebung finden.
Ein Eintrag ist natürlich freiwillig. Das ganze Projekt trägt den
Namen GAUDI German Amiga User Directory. Eintragen kann man sich per
Formular auf unserer Homepage unter:
http://www.image-pages.de/gaudi.html.
Damit das ganze ein Erfolg wird, ist es natürlich wichtig, daß sich
möglichst viele Amiga in die Datenbank eintragen.
Ich finde, das ist eine sehr gute Idee und hoffe mit Euch, daß sich
viele User und Firmen an der Datenbank beteiligen. Hier noch ein Vorschlag für das
Formular: Ich würde für die Postleitzahl ein extra Feld machen, damit
User, die ihre Adresse nicht eintragen möchten, zumindest die Postleitzahl
eintragen können. Ich gehöre nämlich auch zu den Leuten, die
nicht so unbedingt gerne überall ihre Adresse eintragen.
Nachtrag 23.04.1999:
Stefan Hofmann schreibt: Ein kurzes Update zu GAUDI. Mit erscheinen auf Deiner
News Seite hatten wir am ersten Tag fast 100 Anmeldungen zu bearbeiten. Wahnsinn!
Wir haben auch viele Anregungen und Verbesserungsvorschläge erhalten. Diese
werden nach und nach eingeführt. Danke an alle User die mitmachen.

1. An alle eingetragenen Betatester und TA-Support-User:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Bei weiteren Interesse, bitte mit aktueller E-Mail-Adresse melden. Die
alten sind zu 70% veraltet und die Verständigungen zurückgekommen.
2. An alle Benutzer des 3.07-Pakets:
""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""

Sende-Menü erzeugen und versenden.
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Zusammenfassung der neuen Features seit Version 3.06 R9.23:
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
0. Ein paar Bugs beseitigt.
1. Reperatur eines defekten Brettes möglich:
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Im Inhaltsverzeichnis des Brettes gibts ein neuen Unterpunkt im
Pulldown-Menü "Sicherung". Mit dem Menüpunkt "Inhalt nach Puffer" werden
alle Nachrichten des Brettes in ein Puferfile sortiert. Defekte
Nachrichten werden entfernt und in einem seperaten File abgelegt.
Der so erzeugte Puffer kann wieder einsortiert werden. Sofern die
Indexeinträge zur Nachricht ok waren, werden auch Status-Buts,
Einsortierungsdatum etc. erhalten. Original-Empfänger bleiben
unverändert.
2. Grafische Bezugsverkettung
"""""""""""""""""""""""""""""
Es gibt einen neuen Sortiermodi, den man im Bretteditor einstellen kann:
"Bezugsverkettung". Die Nachrichten werden daraufhin nach Ihrer
Bezugsverkettung sortiert und ein grafischer Bezugsbaum vor dem Betreff
dargestellt. Die Grundsortierung von Nachrichten ohne Bezug erfolgt nach
dem Absendedatum, ihre Bezüge folgen in ihrer logischen Reihenfolge unter
der "Haupt-Nachricht."
Diese Sortierung ist sehr langsam, im Vergleich zu den anderen.

Die V1.10 ist eine "Zwischenversion", die mittlerweile schon wieder
weiterentwickelt wurde, deswegen ist in V1.10 nur der Guide und das Binary
einzeln eingepackt und nicht alles aufs Aminet gelegt. Dort wird erst die
1.11 wieder erscheinen, wenn die NewImage.mcc fertig ist. Steht ganz

"Torvalds ist der junge Gates"
Auszug: (kompletter Artikel Link oben)
Zur Eröffnung der Comdex/Spring '99 in Chicago traten Microsoft-Boß
Bill Gates und Linux-Mastermind Linus Torvalds gegeneinander an.
Torvalds wirkte nach Augenzeugenberichten bei seiner einstündigen
Ansprache "wie der junge Gates". Zunächst beruhigte er die Zuhörer,
das kostenlose Betriebssystem Linux werde sich nicht in verschiedene inkompatible
Varianten aufsplitten. Bei dieser Gelegenheit äußerte er sich
enttäuscht über Java: Zunächst habe er "den Hype mitgemacht,
doch nun bin ich davon runter, wegen der Art, wie Sun das aufgezogen hat".
Von Java existierten nun faktisch mehrere verschiedene Versionen: von Sun,
von IBM, von Microsoft und von Hewlett-Packard.
Nebenbei streute er immer wieder Seitenhiebe auf Microsoft ein -
zum Vergnügen der Zuhörer. Als das Licht im Saal für einige Momente
wegblieb, rief er "Was geht ab? Der ganze Bereich ist von Microsoft kontrolliert!"

ACT Newsseite geupdatet
Der USB Controler wird warscheinlich kommen. Auch wenn sich noch nicht genug
Interessierte eingetragen haben, ist das Interesse an USB sehr groß. Wer sich
noch nicht eingetragen hat, kann das
hier machen. Uns interessiert,
ob Sie USB mit 4xSerial Ports haben möchten bzw. was Sie sonst für
Vorschläge zu diesem Produkt haben.
Wir würden sehr gerne den MPEG Encoder realisieren, aber bisher ist das Interesse
daran eher verhalten. Die Lizenz ist sehr teuer. Wir brauchen daher noch sehr viel
mehr Interessierte, wenn wir das Projekt durchführen sollen.
Tragen Sie sich bei Interesse hier
ein.
Der Ruf nach ARTAS ist
laut und ich höre ihn. Ich werde ARTAS entwickeln, wobei ich Linux als Basisplattform
nutzen werde und es dann schnellstmöglich auf Amiga portieren werde. News zu
ARTAS finden Sie auf der separaten
ARTAS Website.

PGP für Amiga
Wolfgang schreibt:
PGP für den Amiga hat seit Sommer `98 keinen Support mehr.
Stefan (www.amitar.com.au/~stef) ist auf PC umgestiegen.
Mittlerweile ist aber der Sourcecode für PGP6 da.
Wäre das nicht Anlaß, in den News einen Aufruf zu machen?
(Zumal der Mac-Port auch noch nicht erhältlich ist;
das wäre doch was, wenn es für den Amiga schneller ginge :-))
Und ob das ein Anlaß ist! Dem kann ich voll und ganz zustimmen,
es sei denn, jemand ist schon fleißig am weiterentwickeln, nur wir
wissen nichts darüber. Wer hat Infos zum Thema?
Nachtrag: Martin Steigerwald hat
folgende Information von Stefan Zakarias
vorliegen: Please note (and tell your PGP friends;-) that I am no longer the
maintainer of PGP5.0. The new maintainer (??? about 10 months ago) is:
Chris Jones,

ppclibemu Update v0.6b
ppclibemu ist eine Emulation der ppc.library und des PowerUp Kernels unter WarpOS.
Ein eigener ELF-LoadSeg Patch ist enthalten, und erlaubt es somit viele (einige?)
PowerUp-Anwendungen genau wie unter der original Umgebung zu starten. Dabei zeigen
die Programme, die funktionieren, keinen spürbaren Geschwindigkeitsunterschied.
Einige sind sogar schneller, als mit dem original Kernel. Die Kompatibilitätsrate
liegt immer noch unter 50%, daher sollte nicht zuviel erwartet werden!

NAB '99: Apple kündigt QuickTime 4.0 an
Das bereits zur MacWorld Expo
Anfang Januar in San Francisco gezeigte QuickTime 4.0
wurde heute offiziell von Apple
anläßlich zur NAB '99 angekündigt. Die wichtigste Neuerung ist
das sogenannte Internet-Streaming, also die Fähigkeit, multimediale Inhalte
bereits während dem Herunterladen auf dem Monitor anzuzeigen. Wie aus einer
Pressemitteilung
hervorgeht, ist QuickTime 4.0 als Betaversion ab sofort für die Betriebssysteme
MacOS und
Windows
erhältlich. Anstelle eines eigenen und proprietären Protokolls setzt
Apple bewußt auf die standardisierten RTP- sowie RTPS-Protokolle. Apple
verspricht für das Internet-Streaming eine hervorragende Qualität, selbst
bei langsamen 28.8 KBit-Verbindungen.
QuickTime 4.0 läuft sowohl auf PowerPC- als auch auf 68k-basierenden Macs
und kann ab sofort
heruntergeladen
werden.

Oberland Computer - Pressemitteilung
Ab sofort ist monzoom3d pro, daß leistungsfähige 3D Grafik- und Animationsprogramm
aus dem Hause Oberland Computer, in der Version 4.3.75 erhältlich. Neben einigen
kleineren Bugfixes sind auch zwei neue Funktionen integriert worden. Die erste Neuerung
befindet sich im PKL-Manager. Dort können über eine zusätzliche Funktion
alle gespeicherten PKL's entfernt werden. Die zweite Neuerung betrifft die Texturzuweisung.
Texturen können nun an eine Objektfläche fixiert werden. Somit ist die Textur
nicht nur an eine Objektfläche zugewiesen, sondern sie verformt sich bei einer
animierten Objektverformung exakt. Dadurch wirken Laufbewegungen von Dinosauriern noch
realistischer.
Das Update kann unter
www.monzoom.de kostenfrei geladen
werden. Für Anwender, welche keinen Internet-Zugang besitzen, kann das Update
für DM 25,-- direkt bei Oberland Computer bestellt werden. (Oberland Computer,
In der Schneithohl 5, 61476 Kronenberg, Tel. 06173/6080).

Nachtrag: Den Download dieses Updates können Sie sich sparen, es ist ein dicker Bug drin
(die gelben, blauen und brauen Punkte, die anzeigen, wo man was bauen kann, sind nicht mehr da).
So wie ich Paul kenne, wird aber in Kürze ein neues Update zur Verfügung stehen.
Nachtrag 2: Paul Burkey, der Autor hat mir soeben per eMail mitgeteilt, daß in
ein paar Tagen ein neues Update kommt. Lesen Sie hier seine Antwort, die wie immer superschnell
kam (Danke daf&uum;r :-):

okay. I plan to release a new update in only a few days time so
this will be fixed.

I don`t think I've changed any of the goods/soldiers figures but
there was a bug in that bit of the game which caused an enforcer
hit and probably increaced the values. So, what you see now
is the real figures which were used in previous updates. I think
the higher figures were introduced in V1.23 but these are the
real figures. If you start off with many more people/goods you
will be able to build a big army and make quick attacks at the
start of the game. That was something that was never meant to
happen.
> It isn't possible to attack e.g. a mine with 7 soldiers. They

Okay well I'll see if there's any bugs that could cause this. There
will be a new version out soon anyway. I'm working on a lot of small
changes to the game so frequent updates will appear.
Cheers,
Paul

In eigener Sache
Wie Sie oben sehen, überlege ich, die mittlerweile doch ganz erheblichen
Telefonkosten wenigstens teilweise durch Werbung zu finanzieren. Ich habe noch wenig
Erfahrung, wieviel ich für Bannerwerbung nehmen kann und bin dabei, mich schlau
zu machen. Wer Webseiten kennt, die dieses Thema behandeln oder mir realistische
Preise nennen kann, oder wer hier werben möchte, bitte eine
eMail schreiben.
Ich denke und hoffe, daß ein oder zwei kleine Werbebanner nicht stören.
Um diese News zu machen, bin ich täglich mehrere Stunden online, was enorme
Kosten verursacht. Die Banner würden helfen, die Kosten in einen erträglichen
Rahmen zu bringen.
BTW: Viele Firmen und Programmierer schicken mir ihre News schon per eMail, es
wäre schön, wenn das noch mehr machen würden :-).

News der AmigaOS
Auf der Homepage der amigaOS findet sich ab sofort eine
Artikeldatenbank.
Um diese nutzen zu können, wird MUIbase benötigt. Zur Not arbeitet
die Datenbank auch mit der Demoversion von MUIbase, die sich im Aminet findet.
Unser Dank gilt in diesem Zusammenhang Ralph Reuchlein, der die Datenbank
up-to-date hält.

Darreck Lisle im IRC Kanal von Amiga.org
AMIGA ist sehr daran interessiert zu hören, was die User denken. Einmal mehr wurde
das durch Darreck klargemacht, indem er mit Usern chattete. Bereits bei der Namenfindung
für den Newsletter wurde
Amiga.org's Umfrage-Poll in Anspruch genommen, um die Meinung der User zu erfahren.
Außerdem gibt es Bilder vom Büro in San Diego.
Nachtrag vom 16.04.1999:
Habe vergessen zu erwähnen, daß Darreck auch
darüber berichtete, daß Pentagram
das Design der AmigaNG entwickeln wird. Hier können Sie sich einige
Designs von Pentagram
anschauen.

E-Drinks Site Online...
E-Drinks '99 schreibt:
Wir wollten euch darüber informieren, daß unsere Website
nun in einer ersten Version online ist. Wir produzieren (wenn man es so nennen kann)
extrem hardcore ausschließlich auf unseren Amigas. Natürlich wurde auch
die Site auf einem Amiga entworfen.
Evtl. solltet ihr euch die Site und vor allem die Demo-Tunes vorher
ansehen bzw anhören, bevor ihr einen Link setzt.
Nein sie verstoßen nicht gegen irgendwelche Copyrights oder Markenzeichen,
aber unsere Tunes sind doch etwas brisant (evtl. empfindet ihr sie als
"Abstoßend"). Allerdings sollte man wissen, daß wir mit unserem Style auf
die Eintönigkeit des heutigen Kommerz und das nicht Verstehen einer ganzen
Generation aufmerksam machen wollen, was wir in
den nächsten Tagen auch verstärkt auf unserer Site vermitteln werden.
Manchmal muß man die Leute auf eine etwas "krasse" Art aufrütteln, denn
wie oft sieht oder hört man, daß die eigentliche Meinungs- und
Äußerungsfreiheit dann doch nicht so gewährt wird, wie es eigentlich sein
sollte, denn angeblich "stören sich doch zu viele Leute daran".
Wenn ihr diese Mail doch in euren News aufnehmt, freuen wir uns vor allem
auf die Reakionen der Leute. Jegliche Kommentare an: E-Drinks@gmx.de.
Euch steht frei, diese Mail teilweise oder ganz zu veröffentlichen. Evtl.
gibt es ja direkt einige kritische Kommentare von euch dazu. ;)
Ich habe mir ein Stück angehört, mir fällt kein passender Kommentar ein ;-).
Aber hier werden ja auch nur News verbreitet, die Meinung darüber sollen sich die
Leser selber bilden :-).

Aus bisher noch nicht bekannten Gründen hat Kai Krause mit sofortiger
Wirkung MetaCreations
verlassen. Dies kündigte der kalifornische Hersteller von Graphiksoftware
gestern beiläufig in einer

Blittersoft Umfrage zu FusionPPC und PCXPPC
Norman Thiel schreibt:
Es ist äußerst wichtig, daß sich SEHR VIELE User melden, denn
MicrocodeSolution
(Hersteller von Fusion/PCX) ist der Meinung, daß die
FusionPC (für Intel-Maschinen) viel wichtiger ist bzw. der PC Markt viel
interessierter!!!
Und hier noch eine eMail von Robert Niessner:
Joseph Fenton (einer der Fusionprogrammierer) hat die Fusion-Mailingliste verlassen.
Jim Drew (der zweite Coder) hat angekündigt, daß sie sich erst wieder
(falls überhaupt) um Amigaprodukte kümmern werden, wenn sie ihre PC-Linie
fertig haben. Du kannst Dir vorstellen, wie die Emotionen nach dieser
Ankündigung in der ML hochgegangen sind :-)
Hier ein paar Zitate, die ich aus den Antworten von Jim Drew
genommen habe.
Jim Drew wrote:
Please do not fabricate my words. Our "PC line of products" consists of
FUSION-PC and
FUSION-PPC. We can NOT finish the Amiga version without finishing the
PC version
FIRST. In an odd contrast, it is actually easier to do PPC programming
on the PC than
the Amiga, due to the limited tools available for the Amiga. The Amiga
market is
incredibly small. If we developed the PPC emulation for it first
(fighting the
developer tools), we would have not been around long enough to be
answering this email.
When our PC stuff is completed, we will go back to the Amiga. The order
of importance
is not an option... for any of us.
We have not killed anything. I have always stated that our PC products
must come
first, or there will be NO products for any platform. The only chance
the Amiga
has for FUSION-PPC is when finish our PC version.
No, I mean we are no longer working on Amiga stuff (even in our spare
time).
This will change once the iMac emulation for the PC has been completed.

Vorbestellung für OS 3.5 möglich
Schatztruhe schreibt:
Amiga International Inc. hat die neue Version des AmigaOS angekündigt.
Voraussichtlich im Spätsommer oder Herbst wird AmigaOS 3.5 zum Preis
von DM 99,50 zzgl. Versandkosten verfügbar sein und es ist bereits jetzt
absehbar, daß die riesige Nachfrage zu Lieferengpässen führen wird.
Insofern empfehlen wir Ihnen, Ihre Bestellung möglichst frühzeitig aufzugeben,
denn wer zuerst bestellt, der wird auch zuerst beliefert.
Auch bei Blittersoft gibt es
bereits die Möglichkeit, eine Vorbestellung
zu machen.

Inoffizielle PicassoIV MPEG Modul Umfrage
Einige PicassoIV User haben Interesse an einem MPEG-2 Modul für die PicassoIV gezeigt.
Aus diesem Grund hat Bill Toner eine Umfrage gestartet, um zu sehen, wie groß das
Interesse ist. Wichtig: Diese Umfrage ist keine Umfrage von Village Tronic, sondern soll
VT nach Abschluß vorgetragen werden, um VT evtl. davon zu überzeugen, das Modul
zu entwickeln.

AmZeiger Nr. #8 online
Beim AmZeiger gibt es viel Neues, lesen Sie unten die eMail von Gregor Franz.
AmZeiger hat mich Ende März interviewt, lesen Sie das Interview
hier.
Herzlichen Dank für Euer Interesse. Das Interview hat Spaß
gemacht :-).
Date: Tue, 13 Apr 1999 00:08:03 +0200
From: Gregor Franz <G.Franz@gmx.de>
To: Petra Struck <petra.struck@online-club.de>

Besser spät, als nie. Leider doch später (wie fast immer) als geplant
ist der AmZeiger #8 nun fertig. Mindestens auf AmZeiger2.home.pages.de
sollte er zu diesem Zeitpunkt liegen. Die weiteren Server folgen in
Bälde. Ebenso der Aminet-Upload.
Es handelt sich übrigens um die, vom reinen Text her, bisher
umfangreichste Ausgabe. Eine große PD-Rubrik ist hinzugekommen.
Weitere Neuigkeiten:
- Nun haben wir eine eigene Domain: http://www.AmZeiger.de/
(Die alte Umleit-Adresse http://AmZeiger.home.pages.de/
wird aber immer gültig bleiben und auf den aktuellen
Hauptserver verweisen.)
- Wir haben eine neue Mailingliste eingerichtet, die Redakteure und
Leser direkter verbinden soll, in der Fragen gestellt, Vorschläge
gemacht oder Diskussionen zu Amiga- und Computer-Themen geführt
werden können.
Der Name: AmZeiger-Infonetz.
Eintragemöglichkeit : http://home.ecore.net/amzeiger/infml.htm
Nähere Informationen: http://home.ecore.net/amzeiger/infml2.htm
- Mit "A L F" - dem AmZeiger-LeserForum, gibt es auf dem Hauptserver
eine neue Seite, die man auch zwischen den Ausgaben regelmäßig checken
sollte. Ausgewählte, meist kommentierte Nachrichten, zu denen auch
Leser ihre Meinung hinzusetzen können, Meckerecke und einiges mehr,
gibt es hier zu lesen.

KOSH summary Nr. 15
KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]
Weekly Summary
Week Commencing: 3rd April 1999
Number: 015
Mailing List: kosh-general
In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.
a)
Subject: UML notation
Summary of debate: See: http://www.rational.com which details a notation called
UML (email to the ML was about the design diagrams that were
discussed).
b)
Subject: Closed KOSH?
Summary of debate: It was expressed that some may feel KOSH to be a closed
group, particularly with the website being down at the
moment.
Actions to remedy this situation include getting the web
site back up, issuing surveys asking what people want of
KOSH (and publishing the results) and promotion of the
surveying working group to do this.
c)
Subject: Standardised coding
Summary of debate: Without standards and things like Interface Control Drawings
could cause difficulties for programmers later on. Formal
specifications for any software created are a must.
It was mentioned that perhaps we should not start direct
coding for KOSH until standards, schematics, etc have been
designed and implemented. However there is no reason why
people should not try out their own ideas by coding them in
whatever language on whichever system they prefer with the
aim to be to port them to KOSH at some point in the future.
d)
Subject: Recursion
Summary of debate: A lot was said on how to implement and use recursion in KOSH
programming, including using it for sorting algorithms.
However it is not the quickest or most space-efficient
construct available.
It was mentioned that recursion could in fact be as fast as
the same function coded non-recursively. It depends on the
language and compiler.
e)
Subject: More on KOSH, Linux and Windows
Summary of debate: One argument against using Linux with KOSH-hosted is that it
is based on a 25-year old OS technology. The same can be
said of Windows which is based on 15-year old OS technology.
However as has been suggested on numerous occasions these
two systems provide probably the best opportunities for
hosted versions of KOSH, at least to start with.
f)
Subject: Commercial Open Source Software (COSS)
Summary of debate: Details of how to reconcile the advantages of Open Source
Software with being paid for ones efforts at:
http://www.treetop.demon.co.uk/coss.html
The Slashdot discussion is at
http://www.slashdot.org/articles/99/04/04/1544211.shtml
These approaches could be useful to KOSH which in part at
least seeks to combine Open Source with an ultimately
commercial venture.
A subscription to KOSH could be one way to gather revenue
while at the same time providing easy access to source
information.
g)
Subject: Planar into "Pixel Land"
Summary of debate: A long debate was had on the merits and possibilities of
taking Planar display modes and getting PC Chunky Pixel
graphics cards to use them, thus allowing both bitplane and
chunky pixel on one device.
MCGA, a graphics mode that came after VGA but before(?) SVGA
was mentioned. This could in part provide something of a
cross over but it may be limited on resolution.
h)
Subject: Fractal packing
Summary of debate: See the following for an introduction to the above:
http://www.rasip.fer.hr/research/compress/algorithms/adv/fraccomp/index.htm
Two further resources on this are:
http://inls.ucsd.edu/y/Fractals/ or
http://links.uwaterloo.ca/fractals.home.html
i)
Subject: KOSH Birthday cake
Summary of debate: Joel Newkirk has pledged an awful lot of cookies and a
birthday cake for the release party of KOSH v1.0
j)
Subject: New ML -> kosh-programming-o
Summary of debate: A new open mailing list with the above title has been
created by Jason Radford. Subscribe at
kosh-programming-o@kosh.net - It is intended to be used to
discuss the majority of programming and language issues that
have been generated on the general mailing list as well as
more besides.
k)
Subject: Abbreviation reference source
Summary of debate: Suggested that a list of all abbreviations in common usage
on the internet (such as AFAIK, OFC< IMHO, etc) as well as
all the smileys and terms such as OOP and BOOPSI could be
written and hosted on the KOSH site. It would help KOSH to
be more inclusive.
Ruward F. Leenstra mentioned the suggestion to have a
Terminology Working Group who could be responsible for this.
l)
Subject: Request for permanent help with summaries
Summary of debate: The scribe of the General Mailing List (mois - Bridge Deady)
has asked for offers of assistance with summarising the KOSH
General Mailing List, preferably on a permanent basis (and
has received some offers to help already - much
appreciated). If you can help please email the scribe at
csbdeady@mythicz.u-net.com
m)
Subject: Colour filters
Summary of debate: An inbuilt graphics filter that compares pixels side by side
could possibly help with some forms of colour blindness
and/or "colour fuzziness" (eg: red text on a green
background can often swim for a lot of people).

Subject: Blinux and further Braille discussions
Summary of debate: While discussing the use of Braille terminals it was
mentioned that Blinux is at http://leb.net/blinux/
The mechanical complexity of a Braille terminal can mean
that they are prone to breaking down. It was suggested that
it could be replaced by heated spots - but they would have
to cool very quickly. A stereo speaker built into the device
would alert the user of a change in the device - this would
emulate the mechanical clicker. By being stereo it would
alert them as to whether the changes are to the left or the
right of the centre of the board. (ps)

AGA only racing game
Laden Sie sich die Demo des AGA only racing game (racing.lzx 1.1 MB).
Es handelt sich um ein 3D Driving Game ähnlich wie Accolades Test Drive 2 auf dem A500.
Mit AGA läuft es sehr schnell und macht Spaß. Die Autoren
Milan und Ivan Golubovic
suchen noch nach einem Vertreiber.

Neuer Prozess um einen Link
Soll uns Webmastern ein Maulkorb aufgesetzt werden?
Wenn der Münchner Rechtsanwalt (der vielen Amiga-Usern sicher bekannt ist)
diesen Prozess gewinnt, kann ich mit meine Seite gleich zu machen :-(. Wie soll ein
Webmaster überprüfen, ob der Inhalt
einer "gelinkten" Seite alle Copyrights bzw. eingetragenen Warenzeichen beachtet?
Ich jedenfalls sehe mich dazu außerstande, und bin der Meinung, daß der
Webmaster der "gelinkten" Seite selbst für den Inhalt seiner Seiten
verantwortlich sein sollte. Mich interessiert Ihre Meinung, vielleicht können
wir im
Forum
darüber diskutieren.

Offener Brief an phase5, Metabox und Escena
Am 28.03.1999 hatte Andreas Kleinert einen
"offenen Brief"
an phase5, Metabox und Escena und mir zur Veröffentlichung geschickt.
Heute schreibt Andreas folgenden abschließenden Kommentar dazu.
(Meinungen, Argumente und Einwände sind im
Forum
von Amiga News willkommen.)
Date: 12 Apr 99 19:50:21 +0100
Subject: Offener Brief
To: "Mag: Amiga News (Petra Struck)" petra.struck@online-club.de
From: Andreas_Kleinert@t-online.de (Andreas R. Kleinert)
Hallo Petra,
zu dem offenen Brief bzgl. PPC/PCI erreichten mich
bisher ueberwiegend Zuschriften bzw. Kommentare
von Leuten, die offensichtlich ohnehin nichts
von PPC-Karten halten.
Da es mir nicht um die Diskussion des Fuer und Wider
oder Sinn und Unsinn hiervon ging - worunter uebrigens
auch Preisvergleiche mit PC-Hardware fallen - moechte
ich gerne noch einmal oeffentlich und zusammenfassend
auf Folgendes hinweisen.
Meine Praemisse war:
a) es gibt Leute, die einen neuen Rechner wollen
(z.B. weil der alte A4000 irgendwann mal den Geist
aufgibt oder "man" heute sowieso zusaetzlich auch
einen PC braucht)
b) dieselben Leute wollen auf diesem neuen Rechner
alte Amiga 68k-Software ausfuehren lassen
(wofuer sie auch UAE nehmen koennten)
c) sie haben bereits eine PPC-Karte fuer ihren Amiga
oder werden sich ohnehin noch eine kaufen
d) sie moechten auch alte Amiga PPC-Software auf dem
neuen Rechner ausfuehren koennen (was derzeit weder
mit UAE noch irgendeiner anderen Software-Loesung
moeglich ist oder Sinn machen wuerde), so dass
ihnen b) nicht ausreicht
Wer nicht wenigstens zu a, b und d zustimmt - und zur
Haelfte auch zu c - der kann es sich eigentlich sparen,
weiter zu diskutieren.
Es geht naemlich einerseits um einen Brueckschlag zwischen
"Amiga OS 3.5 mit PPC-Support" und AmigaNG bzw. andererseits
um eine sinnvolle Alternative fuer ppc-interessierte Leute,
die sich fuer AmigaNG nicht interessieren und stattdessen
eher einen PC kaufen werden.
Das Fazit der ganzen Emotionen und der ganzen Irrationalitaet,
die bei der Diskussion herausgekommen sind, lautet fuer
mich, dass es offensichtlich Leute gibt, die mit ihrem
Amiga 68k voll und ganz zufrieden sind (oder doch nicht ?),
sich statt einer PPC-Karte lieber gleich einen PC oder
Mac kaufen wuerden (oder doch nicht ?), aber es den Leuten,
die bereits eine solche Karte besitzen nicht zugestehen
wollen (warum eigentlich ?) dass sie nicht nur 68k-Programme
mit UAE & Co. sondern auch PPC-Programme - die in der Regel
einiges gekostet haben - auf andere Rechner "mitnehmen" wollen ?
Die ultimative Loesung waere natuerlich, wenn AInc sich
fuer den PPC als neue AmigaNG-CPU entscheiden wuerden,
und eine solche PCI-Karte, d.h. der Ausloeser dieser
Diskussion, komplett ueberfluessig waere...

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
Interesting news from Amiga in this issue. There's an open letter to
the Community from new President Jim Collas and an update on major
activities, both on the Amiga website. We run them here for the
benefit of those who can't or haven't had a chance to see them.
There's also a very interesting addition to Amiga's staff. A new Chief
Technology Officer has been hired - some information on him is below.
April is "Amiga Update"'s birthday. We got our start about the time
Commodore's suicide was complete in '94. Since those early days, we've
grown into a publication read world wide - our thanks to all our loyal
readers! Give yourselves a pat on the back for keeping us going.
A recent check of our subscribers' list turned up about 20 different
countries. That amazed even me. The one thing I'd dearly like to do is
publish this newsletter in the native languages of all our readers.
It's an impossible task, so we thank you for reading us in English.
For the fun of it, here's a list of the top level domains in our
subscribers' list. How many are you familiar with? They're not in any
special order other than being almost in the order we got subscribers
from them. (No, we don't yet have a comprehensive list of where all of
them point, so we can't publish an answer to this little quiz.)
"Amiga Update" goes to the following domains:
.com, .us, .edu, .gov, .mil, .se, .jp, .uk, .au, .es, .no, .nz, .fi,
.ch, .il, .fr, .it, .uy, .hk, .yu, .mx, .de, .ar, .ca - and we might
have missed some - if so, please let us know.
We hope you enjoy this issue, where ever you are.

Editor

Hi Brad,
Further gen on that A2000 batt problem, hope it helps.
Reference:
URL : http://www.amiga.com/diary/developers/y2k.html
Title: The Year 2000 problem and the Amiga
6.2 Leaking clock batteries
A battery provides the necessary power to keep the battery backed up
clock hardware ticking while the Amiga computer is switched off. As
time passes and the clock hardware keeps ticking, the batteries age:
some must be more than ten years old by now. Old batteries can leak
acid, causing great damage to the Amiga motherboard hardware. Often
such leakages go unnoticed until critical parts of the Amiga hardware
begin to fail. Of course, once you notice it, it is probably already
too late...
It has been recommended to replace the clock batteries on every Amiga
main board that is more than three years old. The batteries are small,
barrel-shaped objects about 18mm long and 15mm in diameter. They look
as if they were being held between two clamps (they are not; the
batteries are soldered) and have a blue or red plastic covering. The
covering is often labeled with the name of the manufacturer (e.g. GP
or Varta) and the battery properties (3.6V, 60mAh). Also, the anode
("plus pole") should be marked clearly.
Where is that battery? Try looking for it: the battery may look like
a capacitor on first glance, but it is unique in that it appears to be
held between clamps. It is larger than any capacitor on the main board
and the labeling should be unique. Here are some hints on finding the
battery:
o Amiga 2000: under the drive bridge, where the floppy disk drives
are mounted
o Amiga 3000: near the left edge, right in the middle of the main
board
o Amiga 3000T: right below the power supply, next to the two
Kickstart ROM chips
o Amiga 4000: left side of the main board, near the mouse ports; note
that only older Amiga 4000 boards use the barrel-shaped nickel cadmium
storage batteries, the newer boards use disk-shaped lithium batteries
You should really start worrying if corrosive salts are covering the
metal casing of the battery: it should be replaced as soon as
possible. Do not attempt to replace the battery on your own. You
should consult a specialist, such as your nearest Amiga technical
support centre.

Thanks "mikdom" for the information.

======
Recently we spotted discussion on the Net about supposed plans to
drop the snapshot feature from Amiga OS 3.5. We contacted Mr. Juergen
Haage, of Haage & Partner for further information. Here's his note to
us.
5 Apr 99
Hello Brad,
We don't remove the snapshot function. This was maybe a
misunderstanding of Mr. Raukamp. What we tried to do is to find a
automatism to remove the manual snapshot. On the current point of work
we can say that this will not be possible.
Please be sure we never try to remove the snapshot function we only
try to make it a little bit easier.
Kind regards
Juergen Haage

Dear Brad,
I enjoy receiving your periodic bulletins filled with the information
so vital to the survival of the Amiga and its users.
Recently I have been unable to connect with the SoftLogik
Publishing(PageStream) Co. website and the phone is no longer working.
With all of your contacts in the Amiga forest, I wondered if you had
heard anything about what happened at SoftLogik. A lot of users may be
left high and dry if they have left the Amiga scene. It would have
been nice to hear from them (a la Oregon Research) if they have closed
shop. If not, where are they?
If you could find something out by your next publishing date, I along
with many others would certainly appreciate it.
Looking forward to hearing from you,
Sheldon

Hello Sheldon,
I don't know for certain, but Haage & Partner also provide a clue for
this question. The following item was in a recent H&P newsletter, and
can also be found on their website:
"31 Mar 99: SoftLogik is moving
SoftLogik is moving to a new location and even their domain
www.softlogik.com is not available for about 2 weeks."
At this point, we don't really know what that means. Once we do know,
we'll pass the information along.
Brad

· · OPEN LETTER TO THE COMMUNITY
----------
April 1999
This is my first open letter to the Amiga community. In many ways, I
am honored by the opportunity to address such a great community of
people and represent such a unique brand as Amiga. There are many
remarkable Amigans, both former and current, that are responsible for
Amiga's impressive products and its spirit of revolutionary
innovation. These are the people that created the Amiga phenomena and
the people that persevered through these tough times. Amiga
communities from across the world have kept the Amiga spirit alive. I
can't claim any responsibility for the early success of Amiga or the
current endurance. I can only praise the people responsible and hope
that I can help bring a new era of greatness to Amiga and fulfill the
hopes of the Amiga community.
The St. Louis show a few weeks ago was the first Amiga show I
attended as president of Amiga. From the feedback I have received, the
show was a great success. The show was well organized with good
attendance and was also a lot of fun. The number of people who
attended was approximately 1,200 but more important is the fact that
there was a 14% increase in attendance from last year. I made my debut
as president of Amiga and I want to thank everyone who welcomed me to
the community. I especially want to thank those who welcomed me until
3:00 a.m. in the morning and taught me that Amigans really know how to
have fun. You know who you are.
In St. Louis, I had the opportunity to spend a significant amount of
time with people in the Amiga community. Several times during the
show, I publicly made the statement that the Amiga community is the
greatest community in the computer industry. I am now more convinced
of this than ever. The Amiga community is the most innovative,
dedicated, heroic and enduring community in the computer industry. I
am amazed at what the community has done with little or no support
from a corporate entity. You have endured through extremely tough
times and kept the spirit of Amiga alive and strong.
Unfortunately, some of the difficulties the Amiga community has
endured in the last two years stem from some misguided decisions made
by Amiga Inc. It is now obvious to me that some very big mistakes were
made in defining a path for Amiga in the last two years. The low
priority and support given to Amiga by our parent company, Gateway,
aggravated this situation. Gateway was preoccupied during this period
with significant internal restructuring to strengthen its core
business for the future. The intentions relative to Amiga were good
but the situation was mismanaged. Some people have told me that I
should stop talking about past mistakes and only look toward the
future. I agree with this but I also want people to clearly understand
that I realize how much our past mistakes have hurt the community and
delayed progress. This is important because I do not want to repeat
these mistakes so be patient as I discuss this one last time.
In my opinion, the biggest mistake was the decision not to evolve the
current Amiga architecture as we developed the next generation. This
hurt the current Amiga community the most. The right decision would
have been to overlap product generations just as Apple did during the
Apple II to Macintosh transition. Apple evolved the Apple II
architecture by introducing the Apple III even after Apple came out
with the Mac. The Apple III wasn't a big seller but it helped Apple II
hardware and software companies and allowed them time to transition
their products to the new Mac platform.
In hindsight and from the vantage of the Amiga community, not
evolving the current architecture may look like an incredibly stupid
mistake but it was not as obvious to people coming from the PC
industry. I am not trying to justify this flawed decision but to give
some insight as to how such a decision could be made. Living in a
computer industry dominated by Wintel PCs skewed the thinking of
people making this decision. In a computer industry dominated by
Wintel PCs, computers are obsolete within six to twelve months. The
inefficiency of the architecture requires a continuous upgrading of
CPUs, graphics, and storage devices in order to deliver acceptable
improvements in features and functions. This is what happens in an
industry where revolutionary innovation has been replaced by
constrained evolution. From this PC centric view, no one could imagine
that a computer architecture that stopped evolving in the early '90s
could have any life left in it. Obviously this view was very limited
and flawed as the Amiga community has proven over-and-over again how
much life was left in the current Amiga architecture.
It is obvious that the community would currently be stronger if we
had made the decision two years ago to evolve the current Amiga
architecture. Two years have now passed and we are faced with a tough
question. Is there still life left in the current architecture? I
believe that there is. The release of O/S 3.5 in late July or early
August will allow the current architecture to live on for a few more
years. In addition to O/S 3.5 we are looking at supporting companies
that are looking at hardware enhancements to the current architecture.
We will also support emulation of the current Amiga architecture on
the next generation Amiga so that people can use most of their old
software. I am spending time with key people in the Amiga community to
finalize transition plans between the current Amiga and the next
generation.
Now, it's time to talk about the future! I know this has been an
extremely difficult and painful period for the Amiga community but I
would like to put that chapter of the Amiga story behind us and look
toward the future. We have a difficult road ahead of us with many
important decisions to be made on our future plans. I will not make
the mistake again of not understanding the Amiga community, its
requirements, and its dynamics. St Louis was a good start for me but I
require even more input to better understand the situation. As all of
you know, the Amiga community is very strong in Europe with many Amiga
companies and extremely impressive individuals. I am planning a trip
to Germany and the U.K. in late April to meet with more leaders in the
Amiga community. The objective of my trip is partially to communicate
our current thinking but mostly to listen and understand. I want to
understand the opinions of prominent people in the Amiga community. I
will use this input to finalize our future architecture and plans. I
especially need help in planning out how we will transition from the
old architecture to the new architecture in such a way that keeps the
Amiga community healthy.
One thing clearly requested by the Amiga community was BETTER
COMMUNICATION on the activities at Amiga. I promise to improve our
communication starting with this letter and continuing with frequent
postings on our Web site as well as increased interaction with the
community. Our participation in the St. Louis show and my upcoming
trip to Germany and the U.K. are good examples of our efforts in this
area. The letter you are currently reading is posted on our Web site
in the new "Executive Update" section that I will personally be
updating on a monthly basis. In this section you will also find an
update on major activities listed after the monthly letter to the
community. I think this is a good start and we will continue improving
our communication as we go forward. If you have any input on my
executive update web page or on how to improve our communication
please send your suggestions via email to executive@amiga.com. You can
also send email to me directly at jim.collas@amiga.com but I get
significant amounts of email so it may take me a few days to respond.
The executive@amiga.com email address goes to my assistant who in turn
directs the email to the Amiga executive that can most effectively
reply.
I know that I have yet to prove my dedication or win your confidence
but I hope to do so over the coming months. As many of you already
know, I stepped out of a senior executive position with Gateway that
was a very prominent position in the PC industry to lead Amiga. I did
this because I believe strongly in what Amiga stands for. I believe in
the Amiga spirit of revolutionary innovation. I believe that the PC
revolution is over because innovative revolution has been replaced by
constrained evolution. I believe that there is a new computer
revolution on the horizon, one that will fulfill the promise of
bringing the power of computing to the masses. Most importantly, I
believe that Amiga will play a significant role in this new computer
revolution. But Amiga can't do this without the full support of the
Amiga community. The Amiga community is one of the greatest and most
innovative communities in the computer industry. It is a revolutionary
army waiting to strike and reclaim its prominent position in the
computer industry. I truly believe this from the depths of my heart
and I promise to use all of my experience, resources, industry
contacts, and energy to give Amiga a strong and aggressive push. I
hope I will not let you down.
Let's keep the momentum going as we come back for the future.
Sincerely,
Jim Collas
President, Amiga

By SEAL
Yes, we toddled off to the centre of London on saturday at the
bequest of AmigaSoc, to help brainstorm WoA '99. World of Amiga '99
will definitely be on the weekend of the 24th/25th of July. The venue
is still to be finalised between the two front contenders, both in
London. WoA is definitely going ahead this year though, and Amiga are
desperate for it to be on, as they want the opportunity to make some
rather important announcements and show off a couple of things (not
least of which will probably be the unveiling and selling of os3.5).
WoA '99 is going to be the best yet! In a better venue, and a lot more
going on, such as...
Seminars (like last years on Photogenics and ImageFX, but better...)
Videos played everywhere.
Competitions (so hone up your Sensi Soccer and Quake skills)
Cyber-Cafe
Tutorials and demonstrations
Your questions to Amiga Inc
Annex!
And of course all your favourite (and more) Amiga stores doing good
business. As I said, the venue and pricing (tickets may be cheaper
than normal...there's no way it's going to be more expensive) are
still to be decided, but it looks like it's going to be the best one
ever! And that's just because we're going to be there with a booth of
our own! You lucky people! :)

{The following letter from Best Power was posted to the net by Mark
A. Loyd. Thanks, Mark, for making this public! Brad}
This is not just a rumor, but fact!
Best Power WILL be supporting the EXISTING Amiga line with the next
release of our UPS monitoring and control software, CheckUPS II v3.3.
We will also be supporting the next generation of Amiga machines as
they become available. I recently attended the Amiga '99 show in St.
Louis, where I made the announcement at the ICOA Developers meeting,
that Best Power was going to support the Amiga. I was very pleased
with the overwhelmingly positive response I received.
While at the show, I opened a dialog with Amiga Inc.'s new president
Jim Collas, as well as Juergan Haage (H&P's Managing Director of the
AmigaOS 3.5 project), about adding direct UPS (Operating System
Shutdown) support into AmigaOS 3.x as well as the new AmigaSoft 5.x
Operating Environment. Working with Amiga Inc., I believe that Best
Power can provide a greater level of UPS connectivity for the Amiga,
then has been achieved on any other OS to date.
In addition to providing UPS support for the Amiga, Best Power will
be making another first in the UPS industry by releasing it's in-house
UPS driver API as OPEN SOURCE!
The CheckUPS SDK, a full Software Development Kit for writing serial
and network based UPS monitoring software. Based around the "Best
Power UPS Driver API", it will provide a very easy means of writing
custom software that communicates with any Best Power model UPS,
without having to know anything about the specific UPS communication
protocol. Also, as Best releases new UPS models, it will continue to
update the SDK, thereby making adding support for a new UPS to any
software written using the CheckUPS SDK, as easy as recompiling or
downloading the latest shared library.
Considering the fact that the UPS Driver API was delevoped excluively
on an Amiga A4000T, (the same machine that creates our CDROM masters),
it seemed only fair to directly support the Amiga :-).

Jamie Krueger

What "stuns" me ....
We are very glad to see that our recent announcement of the AmiJOE G3
processor upgrade for the AMIGA contributes not only to the ongoing
discussion about the future of AMIGA, but also to the design efforts
of other companies. Even in their approach towards potential customers
and users of such products these people have started to think a little
more customer-friendly. So, maybe it´s time to release some more
educational stuff.
Our AmiJOE 1200 is certainly meant for the majority of loyal Amigans
still using one of the most exciting sub-500-$ computers worldwide.
But please note, that we do not provide the G3 solution to owners of a
customized A1200 built into a big tower case. Our AmiJOE will fit into
the regular keyboard-style case of the original A 1200. How do we do
that? Engineering!
The AmiJOE 1200 will have an expansion socket for a module also
fitting into the regular A 1200, offering either USB or, without any
difference in price, a Fast-SCSII 2 - connector. This module is part
of the AmiJOE 1200 product and included in the price of 599 EURO.
AmiJOE 2000/3000/4000 will obviously be a little bigger in size, so
it has USB on board. The PCI 2.1 - compliant connector will be ready
to connect to another expansion card, the MultiJOE. At this stage, we
don´t want to disclose too much information about the MultiJOE, since
others should think up their own ideas. We are only going to let you
know that MultiJOE will offer Ultra-SCSII and a complete grafics
system, which includes 2D/3D, video-in and digitizing, alpha blending,
genlock and flicker-reduction and AC-97- sound.
In the last couple of months, we have learned a lot from our
microprocessor partners about G4 and Altivec. The major benefit of the
G4 (PPC 7400) will be to handle up to 2 Mbyte of Backside Cache. It´s
some waste of time making 1 MB BSC solutions with the G4, so we will
stick to the G3 for now. One important thing to understand is that
this next generation of PowerPC isn´t ready to ship by the time we
will start to deliver the AmiJOE to the market. As it becomes
available, there will be another product, too.
Firewire maybe of interest for digital video editors, but it´s our
clear vision that USB will bring a broad range of modern peripherals
into the Amiga world. On the other hand, video work will bring much
fun and productivity with the MultiJOE, and this will be a turn-key-
solution without paying a fortune.
EURO pricing is rather new, but makes it very easy for all customers
in Europe and the US to figure out their ticket into the G3 sphere. We
appreciate that others will join these practices, adding also more
transparency to the competition.
As we still don´t ask for prepayments, it´s good to support people
who need this type of financials. And in this case, it´s very customer
friendly to accept orders even without the prepayment, although they
will have to pay a huge interest charge on top.
Time will tell about reality.
Yours sincerely
Stefan Domeyer President & CEO met@box AG

TITAN COMPUTER proudly presents
the new Twister G3/G4 PPC Project
The Story so far....
There never existed a Viper project. A user has got these
informations and release this name.
The Twister G3/G4 project for Amiga 1200 is a cooperation between ACT
(Apollo), Haage&Partner and Titan Computers.

creativty for A1200 users. With a Twister PPC board the Amiga 1200
will play again in champions-league of power- ful computer systems.
Old 68k times are over a new RISC-CPU era has begun.
Due to Haage&Partners 68k emulation which is fit in a 2MB Flashrom
the Twister-PPC board reaches a 100% compatiblity to old 68xxx CPU`s.
The emulation is powerful enough to reach the speed of an 68060 CPU
on a 300MHz G3 turbo board. Furthermore the Twister PPC-board has 2
local PCI-Slots with each 100 MHz bus clock The Slots are suitable for
a 2D/3D graphic board on RivaTnT2 basis and for Ultra-Wide-
SCSI-controller

{This following item from phase 5 is certainly a salesman's piece. It
does however offer details on their upcoming accelerator boards. The
articles we run from suppliers and developers are often sales pitches,
but every once in a while one makes us smile a bit more than the
others. This is one such. If we didn't think it was probably a very
good product despite the article's "wow, we're great!" tone, we
wouldn't run it. Brad}
phase 5 digital products is excited to announce that the next step in
ground-breaking technological progress will take place soon. Since we
first announced the Cyberstorm G3/G4 project just 10 days ago, the
overwhelming response by the Amiga Community has not only convinced us
to extend the original Cyberstorm G3/G4 project to an extended Amiga
G3/G4 product line. Driven by the excitement of so many Amiga users,
we have spent many hours of additional consideration meanwhile,
discussing the requests and demands by the user community, and going
into technical details and cost optimization. Today we can present
some exciting news, which also make some of the statements of the
original announcement and the update obsolete already. However, if you
had not informed yourself about this development before, please read
these original announcements which contain information about
conditions and time frames for this new product generation. Following
the history of world's most established processor upgrade technology
for Amiga computers, and implementing the experience of the innovator
who made the PowerPC technology for the Amiga a reality, we at phase 5
digital products have also decided to make this new technology
available to a much larger user base, and doing what we always did in
the past years with our stunning products: Offer more value for less
money! And that's what we will be doing again - so go ahead and read
about the new additional features at the new lower prices! New models:
By introducing a second product, the Blizzard G3/G4, we will also
provide the stunning G3/G4 technology and performance to the users of
A1200 Tower systems. Two models - one with G3 and one with G4
processors - can be ordered now. We are also now taking orders for the
300MHz G4 version of the Cyberstorm G3/G4. New features: All G3/G4
boards from
phase 5 digital products come with SCSI on board - UltraSCSI on the
A1200 versions, UltraWide SCSI on the A3000/A4000 version. Our proven
SCSI technology, which has been providing unmatched performance since
seven years, will provide full backwards compatibility with existing
SCSI devices. But even more than that: With the integration of
400Mbit/s FireWire ports, all our G3/G4 boards open the door to this
future industry standard, including the world of digital video devices
New prices: By proceeding with the related projections and
calculations, and going into the details, we have been able to
determine new and improved pricings which will make these stunning
products even more attractive.
Plus, we have changed the pricing to EURO (for Europe) and US$ (for
outside Europe). New Order & Prepayment conditions: In order to
proceed quickly with the finalization and production of this new
product line, we still require the originally announced quantity of
back orders with a prepayment deposit. All customers who support our
development will receive a major discount, as announced before (please
see below for the new prices and discounts for the different models).
But phase 5 digital products is also ready to take orders now without
prepayment, for the suggested retail prices listed for the different
products. These orders will not be shipped by phase 5 digital products
directly, butforwarded to local dealers and distributors. So far the
overview of the major changes in the project. Now here comes the list
of the extended and updated new G3/G4 product line for the AMIGA by

30th March 1999
Siamese Systems wish to announce the new 3-Pack multi-board computer
system case. This case is designed with our Multi-OS platform in mind
and combines up to three complete computer motherboards in one strong,
space efficient and good looking case. Giving the ability to run
AmigaOS, Linux and Windows all at the same time.
We have designed this system to combine the Newtek Video Toaster 4000
based Toaster/Flyer system with a commodity Windows or maybe Linux
powered PC/Alpha. The Video Toaster will be controllable from the
Windows display. Both of these can be fitted into the 3-Pack case and
still have room for an Alpha or another PC as a rendering system or
whatever you want from it. Any Amiga 4000 motherboard will fit
including any 68k/PPC card and we will produce an A1200 adapter if
there is a demand.
It is made from the same high quality and strong steel constructions
as the Siamese 8-Pack case and is designed to run very cool
internally. The case should appeal to all those computer users like us
who have two or three systems in use at once and would like them all
in one place, and controllable from one Keyboard, Mouse and Monitor.
Add to this the cool design and colours and we believe it looks good
too.
Please take a look at our web site at http://www.siamese.co.uk/ and
then email us for more details at steve@siamese.co.uk

Amiga Java Software
This is just the first of a number of Java related programs we intend
to release for the Amiga. Just how soon we release others depends
largely on how much interest there is - so let us know if you want to
use Java on the Amiga! Please send comments to
support@ramjam.u-net.com
Jikes
Jikes is an Open Source Java compiler from IBM. It compiles Java
source files into Java byte-code class files, which can then be run on
a Java Virtual Machine (JVM).
Jikes strictly implements the Java language as specified by The Java
Language Specification, with no extensions or variations. The Java
byte-code generated conforms strictly to The Java Virtual Machine
Specification.
Jikes can be used in place of Sun's javac or the GNU guavac compiler.
Jikes is faster (although this Amiga version hasn't been accurately
benchmarked yet), produces optimised byte-code, and has a
sophisticated make feature. It can also be used in an incremental way
- we plan to release tools which make good use of this feature later
this year!
In order to use Jikes you will also need the standard Java classes -
these are not provided at our web site,
http://www.ramjam.u-net.com/software/jikes/index.htm. A good source of
the standard class files is Sun's own JDK.
A very brief usage summary is produced if Jikes is invoked with no
parameters. No documentation is currently provided with the Amiga
version.
Note that when specifying source files to be compiled, that Jikes is
case sensitive - unlike most other Amiga programs.
Note that this Amiga version requires ixemul.
jikes 0.41 (01 Dec 98) (463KB).

Der Amiga und das Jahr-2000-Problem
Auf amiga.de wurde der Artikel über das Jahr 2000 Problem aktualisiert, leider steht nicht dabei, welcher Teil bzw. was aktualisiert wurde. Wenn jemand Infos darüber hat, was sich genau geändert, bitte ins News Forum posten.
Nachtrag 11.04.1999: Olaf Barthel schreibt im Forum: Es hat fast sechs Monate gedauert, ein Update für den ursprünglichen Y2K-Artikel veröffentlicht zu bekommen. Die überarbeitete Version korrigiert sachliche Fehler im Originaltext, berücksichtigt Informationen, die nach der Veröffentlichung des Originalartikels eingegangen sind, versucht die Problematik etwas klarer darzustellen und gibt neue Hilfestellung. Die jetzt aktuelle Version des Artikels enthält leider noch nicht die ursprünglich vorgesehenen Verweise auf aktualisierte Versionen von SetClock und dem Version-Befehl. Ich hoffe, daß das demnächst folgen wird.
Nachtrag 17.08.2017: Den Artikel, der unter amiga.de schon länger nicht mehr verfügbar ist, mit freundlicher Genehmigung von Olaf Barthel in die Meldung aufgenommen. Download-Links verweisen nun auf cloanto.com.
The Year 2000 problem and the Amiga
Written by Olaf Barthel
To make a long story short, the Amiga in general does not suffer from the
Year 2000 problem in the context known to the PC world. Still, the Amiga
faces three distinct date problems and a single, specific Year 2000 problem
with limited scope which will be described in this paper.
This document will show you how to find out if your Amiga might have a Year 2000 problem
and will then go into detail, explaining the technical aspects of the
problems and how they may be addressed.
(This is a revised version of the document of the same name which appeared
on September 20, 1998, on the Amiga, Inc. web site).
1. How to tell if an Amiga is Year 2000 compliant?
The Amiga runs under control of an operating system called AmigaOS which,
depending on the operating system version, is either fully Year 2000
compliant or may have a problem in the Year 2000. To tell which operating
system an Amiga is running you can perform a simple test. The test works
by invoking an operating system feature that is unavailable in the
operating system versions that may have a problem in the Year 2000.
For this test, hold down both the leftmost and the rightmost mouse buttons before
you switch on the computer and keep holding down both buttons until
a picture appears on your monitor.
The picture to appear should look like one of the three illustrations
shown below. Please see the description for each illustration to
find out what the pictures mean.
Figure 1: The Amiga 3000 Kickstart menu
This is a picture of the Amiga 3000 computer prompting you to choose the
operating system to use. Two principal choices are possible, you can either
use the older Kickstart version 1.3 or the newer version 2.x. On this
machine, either choice will pick an operating system version that is
Year 2000 compliant (the Amiga 3000 is not vulnerable to the SetClock
problem described in this paper since it uses a special version of
that utility). If a picture like this appears, it means that your Amiga is Year 2000
compliant.
Please note that the picture you will see on your screen need not be
completely identical to Figure 1.
Figure 2: The AmigaOS 2.0/2.1 boot menu
This picture shows an Amiga prompting you to choose the device to bootstrap
from. If a picture like this appears, it means that your Amiga is Year 2000
compliant.
Please note that the picture you will see on your screen need not be
completely identical to Figure 2.
Figure 3: The AmigaOS 3.0/3.1 boot menu
This picture shows an Amiga prompting you to choose an early startup option to change.
If a picture like this appears, it means that your Amiga is Year 2000
compliant.
Please note that the picture you will see on your screen need not be
completely identical to Figure 3.
If the picture to appear does not look like any of the three illustrations shown
above, then your Amiga is probably not entirely Year 2000 compliant. To find
out how to address the problems, see section 5 of this document.
1.1 Is the software written for the Amiga Year 2000 compliant?
Software written for the Amiga computer is not automatically
Year 2000 compliant. While the Amiga operating system provides
time and date keeping services which are Year 2000 compliant,
it was always left to the individual software developers to
use them properly. Amiga, Inc. neither supports nor maintains 3rd party application software.
2. Scope of this document
The following text refers to Amiga desktop computers built between 1986 and
1997. It covers only computer hardware configurations designed and built by
Commodore-Amiga, Inc., Amiga Technologies GmbH and Amiga, Inc. This specifically excludes 3rd party hardware
extensions, such as the Microbotics "StarBoard" which among other features offered
a battery backed up clock.
It should be noted that, as far as the ROM operating system and Amiga software
is concerned, this document only covers the features and/or shortcomings of the
Amiga operating system as designed and implemented by Commodore-Amiga, Inc.
3rd party application software designed to run under control
of the Amiga operating system may not show the same behaviour as the operating
system itself. It may show bugs which AmigaOS does not exhibit, and the other
way round.
3. How the Amiga handles date and time
The Amiga operating system has always followed the Unix model in measuring
time as the number of seconds that have elapsed since a fixed point of time.
Under AmigaOS that fixed point of time (also known as 'epoch') is 00:00:00
of January 1, 1978 (Unix uses 00:00:00 GMT, January 1, 1970). The operating
system manages time and date through a module known as
timer.device. This module reads and stores date and time information
using a data structure known as timeval which, in 'C' language notation,
is shown below:
struct timeval
{
ULONG tv_secs;
ULONG tv_micro;
};
In this context an ULONG refers to an unsigned 32 bit quantity. The
tv_secs structure member holds the number of seconds that have elapsed
since the AmigaOS epoch. The tv_micro member denotes the number of
microseconds (the 10-6th part of a second) that have elapsed since the last
second has passed.
3.1 The AmigaDOS date and time handling is special
"AmigaDOS" and "AmigaOS" are not two names for the same thing.
AmigaDOS is (in a nutshell) the name of the AmigaOS layer which
implements filing systems and their actions, the command line interpreter, and
the means to load and relocate executable binary files. AmigaDOS is
more or less a port of the Cambridge University TRIPOS 32 bit kernel. It has
its own peculiar data structures, including its own version of the timeval
structure described above. The AmigaDOS variant is known as DateStamp, as
shown below:
struct DateStamp
{
LONG ds_Days;
LONG ds_Minute;
LONG ds_Tick;
};
In this context a LONG refers to a signed 32 bit quantity. The ds_Days
member contains the number of days (each day consists of exactly 24 hours)
that have passed since the AmigaOS epoch. The ds_Minute member denotes the
number of minutes that have passed since midnight (00:00:00) of the given day.
The ds_Tick member contains the number of "ticks" that have passed
since the last minute. A minute consist of 3,000 "ticks", i.e. there are exactly 50
ticks in a second.
The term "tick" is often confused with the "tick" signals which the Amiga hardware
can generate either through the power supply or the custom chip
set. The frequency at which the hardware generates "tick" signals is controlled by
the power supply frequency (50 Hz or 60 Hz) or the jumper settings on the main
board (PAL = 50 Hz, NTSC = 60 Hz). There is no relation between the hardware "tick" signals
and the "tick" quantities used in the context of the
DateStamp data structure. For the DateStamp ds_Tick
member, there are always 50 ticks in a second, regardless of the power supply
frequency or the main board jumper settings.
AmigaDOS uses DateStamps to describe file and volume creation dates. All
shell commands follow the same model, i.e. if the system date is set through
the shell Date command, it will calculate time and date in DateStamp
format.
3.2 Local time vs GMT
The Amiga operating system never knew the concept of local and global time.
While the AmigaOS 2.1 update (1992) introduced a locale preferences editor
that allowed for the time zone to be selected, the operating system itself
never put this feature to use or encouraged application software developers
to use it. One might argue that with this background, the AmigaOS was always
tuned to local time.
3.3 How the Amiga maintains its system time
The early Amiga computer models did not support a battery backed up real time
clock that would keep ticking and maintaining local time even until after
the machine was switched off. For example, the first Amiga computer ever
(later christened the Amiga 1000) did not offer a battery backed up clock.
For the Amiga 500 the battery backed up clock was an extra hardware feature
one could buy separately with a memory expansion.
Amiga computer models without battery backed up clock hardware include:
- Amiga 500
- Amiga 600
- Amiga 1000
- Amiga 1200 (note: only a few early machines were built with battery backed up clock hardware)
Amiga computer models with battery backed up clock hardware include:
- Amiga 500+ (this is a variant of the Amiga 500)
- Amiga 2000
- Amiga 2500 (this is a variant of the Amiga 2000)
- Amiga 3000
- Amiga 3000T; also known as "Amiga 3000 Tower" or "Amiga 3000, floor standing model" (this is a variant of the Amiga 3000)
- Amiga 3500 (this is the precursor of the Amiga 3000T; only few of these machines were built)
- Amiga 4000
- Amiga 4000T; also known as "Amiga 4000 Tower" or "Amiga 4000, floor standing model" (this is a variant of the Amiga 4000)
These two lists do not mention the CDTV and CD32 devices
since these machine types do not really count as desktop computers.
On machines without battery backed up clock hardware, the Amiga sets its system time
according to the modification date of the boot volume. In other words, the
point of time the last file was modified or created on a disk would determine
the system time. As this was by no means accurate, the AmigaOS boot process
would suggest and prompt you to adjust the system date once the system had
booted (as pictured below).
Figure 4: The shell window prompting you to adjust the date
On machines equipped with battery backed up clock hardware the system time was
read during the boot process. As of AmigaOS versions 1.2 and 1.3 a special
program, called SetClock, was responsible for reading the current clock
settings and setting the system time accordingly. Starting with AmigaOS
version 2.0 that functionality was integrated into the ROM operating system,
making the SetClock utility at least in part redundant.
If the system starts up without being able to set its system time, it defaults
to 00:00:00 January 1, 1978.
4. Setting and reading the time
The Amiga offers both a command line interface and a graphical user
interface. Both went through a number of changes over the years as will be
described below.
4.1 The command line interface
There are two shell commands which deal with the system date, these being
SetClock and Date. The Date command is for reading and setting the
current system date whereas the SetClock command deals with the battery
backed up clock: it reads and stores the current system time from/in it. The
Date command is of particular interest due to the human readable date format
it uses by default. Today you might invoke the Date command and receive the
following output:
19-Sep-98
As one can see the year number is limited to two digits only. Even if a
different locale is used (e.g. french), the year will always be displayed with
its two last decimals only. Luckily, this numbering is consistent with the
following rule:
- If the number is greater than or equal to 78, the year number is 1900 plus the number given (i.e. numbers 78..99 indicate years 1978..1999).
- If the number is less than 78, the year number is 2000 plus the number given (i.e. numbers 00..77 indicate years 2000..2077).
To set the system time to any year beyond 1999, you reverse the
rule, i.e. entering date 01-jan-01 will set the time to
1 January, 2001.
All versions of the AmigaDOS Date command (version 1.1 through
version 37.1) display and parse the data format in the same
fashion. They behave consistently and predictably throughout all
Amiga operating system revisions. The same holds true for the other
two Shell commands that deal with dates, namely SetDate
and List (the List command can list files and
drawers created/modified since a specific date).
4.2 The graphical user interface
The system time is set through the preferences editor which in AmigaOS
versions 1.0-1.3 used to be a single, monolithic program as pictured below:
Figure 5: The Workbench 1.1 Preferences editor
The controls for setting the system time are located in the top left corner of
the window. They allow the last two digits of the year to be adjusted; the
model follows the AmigaDOS Date command in that a year number less than
78 denotes a year in the range 2000..2077 and all other settings refer to a
year in the range 1978..1999.
With the introduction of AmigaOS 2.0, the time preferences editor was moved
into a single program named Time, as pictured below:
Figure 6: The Workbench 2.0 Time Preferences editor
In this editor, the year can be entered as a four digit number. However, the
range is limited to the years 1978..2113.
When the AmigaOS 2.1 update was released, the time preferences editor was revised, as can be seen below:
Figure 7: The Workbench 2.1 Time Preferences editor
Just like with the previous version of the Time Preferences editor, the year can be entered as a four digit
number. In this case, the range is limited to the years 1991..2099.
5. The problems
As far as is known today, the Amiga faces four date problems. Two are design
problems caused by numeric overflow, one is caused by hardware limitations and
one is a real bug that will strike in the year 2000.
5.1 SetClock stops working in the year 2000
The Amiga Workbench disk revisions 1.2 and 1.3 would ship with a program by
the name of SetClock which was responsible for reading the battery
backed up clock time upon system startup. The SetClock program
suffers from a bug which causes it to miscalculate the battery backed up clock
time starting with the year 2000. It is accurate only for the years
1978..1999. Once the year counter rolls over to 00, SetClock will believe
that the year is 1978 until the year 2079 is reached; that's when it will
believe that the year is 1979 -- which is not necessarily an improvement.
Please note that only the SetClock program found on the AmigaOS 1.2 and 1.3
Workbench disks suffers from this problem. Several versions of this program
were distributed, each between 4,000 and 7,000 bytes in size. To tell whether
you have a version that works or not, check the file size; if it is less than
1,000 bytes in size you will probably have the properly working version (and not
one of the older versions). If it is larger than 4,000 bytes, you probably have
the faulty version. Size isn't everything, though. Some 3rd party
hardware extensions would use their own versions of the SetClock program.
They went by the same name, but read the system time from a different hardware
location. Do not replace these custom versions. You will probably
be using such a custom version if your real time clock is hooked up to a mouse
port or the keyboard connector.
A fix for this problem is provided in this archive. Download it and unpack it,
then read the enclosed SetClock_ReadMe file!
5.2 Negative time
As was outlined above, the Amiga measures time in seconds. As it turns out,
the number of seconds to accumulate until 19 January, 2046, 03:14:07 will form
the largest value a signed 32 bit integer number can hold. This is not a
problem for the time keeping module (timer.device). However, application software
and other operating system components which treat the number of seconds as a
signed quantity will get into trouble one second later: the number of seconds
will rise to 2,147,483,648 which in two's complement format represents the
negative number -2,147,483,648. AmigaDOS, which always treats time as a signed
quantity, will consider this date to be invalid because it is "negative". Worse,
the ROM date conversion routines exhibit a bug which, once the date is later
than 19 January, 2046, 03:14:07, causes all subsequent date operations to be
inaccurate. The immediate effect this has is that calculations on dates can be
off by more than two years.
This behaviour is consistent through all AmigaOS versions. A fix is not
available yet, but research is in progress to investigate whether this bug could
be fixed by updating several AmigaOS modules (locale.library, dos.library).
After all, this bug is "just" a side-effect of treating an unsigned quantity
as signed.
5.3 Time rolling over
An unsigned 32 bit integer can hold a maximum value of 4,294,967,295. When the
Amiga has accumulated that many seconds, it will be 7 February, 2114,
06:28:15. One second later the seconds counter will roll over and restart
at 0. In other words, on 7 February, 2114, 06:28:16 the Amiga will believe
that it is midnight on 1 January, 1978.
No fix for this problem is available yet.
5.4 The battery backed up clock can count only to 99
Amiga computers equipped with battery backed up real time clock hardware use one of
two different hardware designs: either the Oki MSM6242RS (A500, A2000) or the
Ricoh RP5C01 (A3000, A1200, A4000) chip. As is common with clock chips of that
type, the year counter is implemented as a two digit BCD number. Once it
reaches the year 99, the counter will roll over and start again at 00.
Starting with Amiga operating system version 2.0, the boot process will read
the battery backed up clock time and set the system time accordingly. This
takes place every time the Amiga is reset. Because the year number covers only
two digits, the same algorithm as used by the AmigaDOS Date command is
employed. Consequently, the Amiga system date set at
system startup time will always be in the range 1978..2077. While the system
clock will keep ticking beyond 31 December, 2077 a system reset will set
the clock back to 1 January, 1978.
No fix for this problem is available yet.
6. Other hazards
The following section covers topics which are related to time keeping, but not
quite in the same context as was discussed in the previous sections.
6.1 In a version tag a year only has two digits
The AmigaDOS Version command (which was introduced in AmigaOS 2.0) can extract the
version and revision numbers and the creation time of any file which includes a string
like this:
$VER: version 40.1 (9.2.93)
A string like this is called a "version tag". The date, as it appears in brackets,
consist of a day, a month and a year number (exactly in that order), none of which may contain more than two digits.
This was not such a big problem with versions 37 and 38 of the Version command,
which extracted the string and printed it verbatim. However, starting with version 39 of
the Version command, the date extracted was converted and printed using the
default locale. The conversion process involved has a major flaw in that it always takes
the year number, adds 1900 and prints the date. This is not consistent with how the Date
command treats year numbers beyond 99. In fact, in order to print properly, the year 2000 would
have to show up as the year 100 in a version tag (which is guaranteed to cause some confusion).
The problem described above exists only in version 39.1 and 40.1 of the Version command.
To find out which version of this command you have, open a Shell window and enter the following
command:
version c:version full
A fix for the date parsing problem in the Version program is provided
in this archive. Download it and unpack it,
then read the enclosed Version_ReadMe file!
6.2 Leaking clock batteries
A battery provides the necessary power to keep the battery backed up clock hardware ticking while the
Amiga computer is switched off. As time passes and the clock hardware keeps ticking, the batteries
age: some must be more than ten years old by now. Old batteries can leak acid, causing great damage
to the Amiga motherboard hardware. Often such leakages go unnoticed until critical parts of the Amiga
hardware begin to fail. Of course, once you notice it, it is probably already too late...
It has been recommended to replace the clock batteries on every Amiga main board that is more
than three years old. The batteries are small, barrel-shaped
objects about 18mm long and 15mm in diameter. They look as if they were being held between two clamps
(they are not; the batteries are soldered) and have a blue or red plastic
covering. The covering is often labeled with the name of the manufacturer (e.g. GP or Varta) and the battery
properties (3.6V, 60mAh). Also, the anode ("plus pole") should be marked clearly.
Where is that battery? Try looking for it: the battery may look like a capacitor on first glance, but
it is unique in that it appears to be held between clamps. It is larger than any capacitor on the
main board and the labeling should be unique. Here are some hints on finding the battery:
- Amiga 2000: under the drive bridge, where the floppy disk drives are mounted
- Amiga 3000: near the left edge, right in the middle of the main board
- Amiga 3000T: right below the power supply, next to the two Kickstart ROM chips
- Amiga 4000: left side of the main board, near the mouse ports; note that only older Amiga 4000 boards use the barrel-shaped nickel cadmium storage batteries, the newer boards use disk-shaped lithium batteries
You should really start worrying if corrosive salts are covering the metal casing of the battery: it should be replaced as soon as possible. Do not attempt to replace the battery on your own. You should consult a specialist, such as your nearest Amiga technical support centre.

- Steffen Haeuser schreibt zur Umfrageaktion "Tornado3D fuer WarpUp":
"Hi!
Leider hatte die BBS auf der die Umfrageergebnisse gesammelt werden einen
Plattencrash, was zum Totalverlust aller bisher gesammelten Umfragedaten
fuehrte. Ich habe den User nun neu eingerichtet, aber leider muessen alle
Leute, die bereits eine Mail geschickt haben, diese nochmal schicken.
Ich weiss, das ist unprofessionell so, aber was will ich tun ? Die Daten sind leider vollkommen weg... (Mein persoenlicher email-Account wurde nicht
betroffen, nur der Umfrage-Account sowie einige andere Daten der letzten 2
Wochen - da noch ein Backup von vor 2 Wochen existierte)
Steffen Haeuser"

AmigaScene 0x0E Ausgabe April 99 online
Weiter schreibt Robert:
Wir suchen freiwillige Übersetzer und Autoren für unsere geplante
englische Version der AmigaScene. Andere Sprachen sind auch geplant, auch hier
benötigen wir Leute.
We need your HELP
I'm working together with 5 other people on an Amiga online magazine in
Austria, called "AmigaScene".
http://www.amigascene.com.
After one very successful year (magazine is only in German for now), we
are planning to go multilingual :-)
Our first goal is to produce parallel to the German issue an English
one, other languages might follow.
The magazine is non-profit of course, we do it because we like the Amiga
and want to share knowledge with the community.
My task is to find people who are willing and able to translate articles
from German to English, or write articles of their own in English or German.
Also if you want to support any other languages, we would be interested.
So please, if you are interested in joining us, or know someone who
might help us, please contact me privatly:
robert.niessner@vexcel.co.at
subject: Translator or subject: Writer. Thank you in advance, Robert

KOSH summary Nr. 14
KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]
Weekly Summary
Week Commencing: 27th March 1999
Number: 014
Mailing List: kosh-general
In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.
a)
Subject: Cymraeg, Gaelic, Cornish and other local languages
Summary of debate: It would be inclusive and a positive step for the Kommunity
of Koshans to include support for languages that are
normally missed out in mainstream systems. This could be
done via the KOSH localisation system.
Suggested that we contact relevant local organisations
sometime soon about this.
There was (and still is??) an Amiga Translator's
organisation. Perhaps we could contact them to see if they
would do KOSH work too? - Does anyone have the contact
details? Suggested contact is Gary Peake who was apparently
in contact with them sometime earlier on this mailing list.
b)
Subject: Colour clash and dithering
Summary of debate: It was noted that certain colours on certain coloured
backgrounds (eg: red on blue, black on red) can be
difficult to view by a large number of people. Further,
dithering and patterns such as checks with text on top can
also present difficulties. Therefore in KOSH documentation
we should avoid such designs.
It was also suggested that where possible we so not use
dithering in KOSH as a whole, particularly as we are looking
at supporting new fast 24bit+ graphics cards (admittedly AGA
256 colour dithering will be needed). All of this obviously
only applies to full colour KOSH systems.
c)
Subject: KOSH documentation formats
Summary of debate: It was asked what sort of documentation KOSHans would like.
A printed manual or manuals would be liked as online
documentation is often difficult to use at the same time as
the software it refers to - both being on the same system.
As well as this, online (HTML?) documentation that
configures itself to represent the settings that the user
has setup (as mentioned in a previous summary).
d)
Subject: Functional languages
Summary of debate: It was suggested on the subject of what computer languages
to use with KOSH that a functional language that includes
complex computations could be used.
However functional languages are not very straightforward as
they often have bizarre syntax.
e)
Subject: Application generators
Summary of debate: Traditionally application generators are always tailored for
a specific type of application. However, as the UI in KOSH
will have personalities the applications for it will not
have to be constant. We could have a KOSH-Script builder
with another layer on top that changes with the personality.
An applications generator that produced KOSH scripts could
come in different versions, each specialized for one type of
work.
f)
Subject: More COMAL
Summary of debate: See:
http://www.macharsoft.demon.co.uk/unicomal/aboutcml.html
Macharsoft produces unicomal, a current COMAL implementation
which they claim incorporates OO concepts. NB: the whole
site is dedicated to COMAL.
g)
Subject: Structured summaries
Summary of debate: Marcus Peterson has gone through the summaries and
restructured them according to categories instead of summary
dates.
Having both date and subject-based summary formats available
will make locating particular information easier.
h)
Subject: Wider world survey
Summary of debate: Greg Webb, greg@gpwebb.freeserve.co.uk would like help with
conducting a survey of the wider world beyond us Koshans to
see what the computer world at large would like in something
like KOSH. If you can help (particularly but not exclusively
if you have experience with statistical analysis) then
please email Greg directly.
i)
Subject: KOSH programming and semicolons
Summary of debate: It was pointed out that C brings up an error when it is
missing a semicolon but then pinpoints the exact location
that the semicolon should have been placed at. Therefore it
was implied that KOSH should be able to automatically insert
such characters.
j)
Subject: One KOSH programming language for all / A KOSHan beginners language
Summary of debate: It was suggested that one global KOSH programming language
could be designed (possibly based on existing languages)
that was suitable for beginners to programming all the way
up to experts in OOP and structured programming.
An opinion was expressed against BASIC for something like
this in that it can make structured programming difficult.
However it was noted by another scribe-e that this may only
apply to some versions of BASIC.
Such a language could ship with KOSH and be used to
encourage people to program. However this may only teach them
how to program in the cosy well thought out world of KOSH
which could limit their ability to program with other
systems.
Was suggested that the critical features and design
decisions that must be made for a beginners language are:
1) Garbage collection - this may be too complex for a
beginner. The language must support garbage collection.
2) No traditional C-style pointers thereby eliminating a
possible memory leak, and making implementing garbage
collection easier.
3) Run-time array bounds checking or unbounded arrays to
protect against inaccurate writes to memory.
It was mentioned that eliminating pointers eliminates a lot
of power and convenience.
It was noted that Java almost fits these criteria except
that it doesn't actually support run-time bounds checking
but uses a theorem prover instead.
Suggested goals for a programming language for beginners
are that the system should be protected from accidental
damage, the language should be immediately effective with
something visible after only a short amount of work and the
language should help teach better habits, possibly by
requiring the syntax to be commented although this latter
suggestion may make the language wordy.
A language for KOSH should aim to reduce the gap between
having ideas and being able to implement them in a computer
language.
k)
Subject: ISO Modula-2 compiler
Summary of debate: Suggested that in the fullness of time we could look at
created a ISO Modula-2 compiler for KOSH.
l)
Subject: Installing KOSH
Summary of debate: Proposed that the KOSH v1 installation (on CD?) should
include a setup routine to install a base version of Linux
as well, with options available for a number of platforms.
This would allow those who own platforms on which a hosted
version of KOSH has yet to be written to use it, via the
Linux hosted version.
The complete install could be available as an FTP directory
located somewhere.
m)
Subject: Terminology WG
Summary of debate: Could anyone interested in joining the above named Working
Group for KOSH please email Ruward F. Leenstra at
uart@xs4all.nl
n)
Subject: Loading and coping with older versions of objects
Summary of debate: The following questions were posed: what happens if you have
have software which has a number of objects that contain
data and when the next version is released, these objects
have changed? How should this be handled? How would older
versions of objects be loaded?
Old versions should be loadable. It should be possible to
just plug the old objects into the new handles or use an
adaptor for this.
o)
Subject: Sharing computer experiences
Summary of debate: A way to share experiences of the various computer systems
that we all use (including Mac, BeOS, Amiga, Linux, Unix,
BSD, NeXTStep, Windows, OS/2 and many others) could be
useful. This could take the form of a large section on the
web site available (to members only it was suggested) for
downloading in parts that would contain emulators, trial
versions and other relevant software to allow people to try
other systems.
The same area could also contain languages like COMAL and
Delphi that people could try out.
Jason Radford the administrator for the server that the KOSH
web site is on agreed that some of the 4gig of drive space
available for KOSH could be used for this purpose. He
suggested that if enough interest and ideas came forward
that ftp.kosh.net could be created.
p)
Subject: Case-insensitive KOSH
Summary of debate: Suggested that throughout KOSH an Amiga-style system where
case is stored but operations are case-insensitive is used.
q)
Subject: Standardized diagram construction package
Summary of debate: It was suggested that we try to find a standardized
package to construct diagrams for KOSH. A set of brushes
that could be used would be useful.
r)
Subject: Executive Scheduler
Summary of debate: KOSH could implement a scheduler similar to the Amiga's
scheduler.
Further suggested that this should be a separate object. The
basic system could ship with a scheduler that does the basic
round-robin scheduling.

Updates zu cmp V1.5, Opener V1.0+ und PatchID V1.01
cmp ist ein Programm, welches Dateien in zwei Verzeichnissen (oder Bäumen)
vergleicht. Dies kann sehr nützlich sein, um z.B. bei einem Backup zu untersuchen,
welche Dateien sich geändert haben bzw. hinzugekommen sind. Neu im Update:
- 020er Programm ist jetzt residentfähig. Mehr Informationen finden Sie
unter http://www.kazik.de/de/cmp.html.
Download: ALeXcompare.lha,
ALeXcompare.readme.
Opener ist ein großartiges (aber kleines) Public Screen Utility.
Wenn der Benutzer einen Public Screen benutzen möchte, der noch nicht
geöffnet ist, wird automatisch ein Bildschirm geöffnet, wenn er mit
exakt so einem Namen durch MUI's PSI definiert wurde. Mehr Informationen finden
Sie unter http://www.kazik.de/de-txt/opener.html.
Download: Opener.lha,
Opener.readme.
PatchID ist ein kleines Tool, mit dem man Displaynamen (z.B. "PAL:LowRes") beliebig
ändern kann, sowie beliebige Modes verstecken (werden von den meisten Programmen
nicht mehr angezeigt). Trotzdem sind alle Modi verfügbar, man muß nur die
"Nummer" wissen. Mehr Informationen finden Sie unter
http://www.kazik.de/de-txt/patchid.html.
Download: PatchID.lha,
PatchID.readme.

HTMLview.mcc Update V15.5
MCC_HTMLviewV15.5.LZX,
diese Version wird in zwei Monaten ungültig (Zeitlimit). Das ist nötig, weil z.B.
mit TextEditor noch Bugreports von frühen Alpha-Versionen kamen, obwohl längst
aktuelle Versionen zur Verfügung standen. Wem das nicht gefällt, sollte warten,
bis die endgültige Version im Aminet verfügbar ist.

Albrecht Computer Technik (ACT) News Page aktualisiert
Marc Albrecht schreibt:
A.C.T. news page updated, ... aber erstmal nur vorbereitet. Wir sind gerade sehr aktiv und
initiieren einige recht endgültige Entscheidungen.
Auf der Newsseite schreibt ACT in englisch:
Es ist viel passiert und ACT hat auf die neuesten Entwicklungen auf dem Amiga-Markt
reagiert. Wir werden unser Versprechen halten und unsere Produkte so lange wie möglich
supporten. Die Prelude und die Prelude 1200 werden nun wieder produziert, die
Zusatz-Module für die PreludeZ2 werden so schnell wie möglich wieder produziert.
Leider ist die finanzielle Situation unseres Amiga-Bereiches nicht die Beste und
Investitionen mußten reduziert werden, um das Überleben von ACT's
Amiga-Präsenz zu garantieren.
Wir haben einen Brief an Mr. Collas gesandt, und ihm und Amiga Inc. unsere Zusammenarbeit,
unsere Produkte und unser know how angeboten. Wir hoffen, daß - nach Jahren von Unstimmigkeiten -
dieser letzte Brief in einer Weise beantwortet wird, die uns erlaubt, unsere Aktivitäten
auf dem Amigasektor wieder in vollem Umfang aufnehmen zu können. Die endgültige
Entscheidung wird Ende April fallen.
Ich habe das auf die Schnelle übersetzt; wie jeder weiß, ist mein englisch
nicht das Beste, aber im Tenor sollte es stimmen.
