Tyschtschenko: No more Executive Updates for competition reasons (27.08.99)
AMIGA Vice President Petro Tyschtschenko explained on request of AMIGA aktuell, that Amiga decided to change information politics to avoid too many details of the AmigaNG development reaching competitors, which would be a burden for the whole project. The head of the German Amiga office stressed that other companies don't handle new developments any differently. (ps)

FusionPPC: Only 380 of the needed 500 preorders recieved
Thomas Lorenz writes:
There are still many preorders missing. Here the latest news from the Fusion mailinglist:
From: Jim Drew msdei@ctaz.com
Subject: [FUSION]: PPC upgrade status
This is an official announcement from Microcode Solutions...
As many of you know, Microcode Solutions has been trying to establish a base market for its new emulations. We presented the public with a test marketting idea of pre-paying for a PowerPC emulation. We reached our base goal of 500 units (actually we reached nearly 700), and then we announced that we were now accepting the pre-payments. To date we have only 380 pre-payments (none of which have been processed), meaning that we are still short 120 units before we can commit to producing this product. It has been several months since we have been collecting actual pre-payments. We are spending an incredible amount of time and resources on this project (which is 1/1000th the revenue of our PC market), and we hope that we are not wasting our time by doing so. We ask that if you have not placed your order yet, please do so now. If we do not reach the 500 unit goal, we will not release the product, no matter how much we have completed so far... we will use some of the work for our PC version. x (ps)

Update GeoWorld
After more than half a year of work, today we finally finished the long-awaited update to version 1.1 of GeoWorld. GeoWorld, probably the best geographical software for the Amiga, has been expanded by the following features in version 1.1:
  • adding a new generic search function in the maxi search, enabling for the first time the search for special keywords in the additional databases like economy, history etc. (full text search)
  • complete rework and bugfixes
    • NewLook-Menus for OS 3.0+ (no more changing menu colors)
    • flashing pointer for cities and small countries now working correctly
    • scrolling of the maps pixel by pixel per keyboard
    • sorting speed-up due to presorted databases
    • faster search functions (in Assembler)
    • VisualPrefs now supported nearly completely
    • GeoWorld-Fonts can now stay in the same directory
  • interaction with all requesters now completely by keyboard
  • option to give distances in miles instead of kilometers
  • requester "no information available" now with configurable time-out
  • reworked and expanded prefs window (among others display mode, font, use, save or reset prefs)
  • expansion of the city database for Austria, Switzerland, Brasil and US cities (over 1100 cities with ZUP code, 6119 cities total)
  • expanding the city databases with details about country / state capitals
  • expanding the country databases with details about the Internet abbreviation (e.g. .de, .uk, .us)
  • informations about the databases are now kept in a seperate GeoWorld.data file, so an expansion of the databases does no longer imply a change of the main program
  • expansion of the info requester
  • rewritten and expanded online help
  • reworked and extremly expanded data about the inhabitants of the countries (over 100 kByte text!!)

The Update Nr. 9 and a up-to-date demo version are available from our homepage (title link), and should appear on Aminet (misc/edu) in the next few days.
Download (Demo): GeoWorld_E.lha (ps)

Amiga.org: Redesign of the website and database ready
Amiga.org is here again full power, the website has a friendlier and cleaner layout now, and it is (as before) possible requesting news sorted by subject from a database, like hardware etc., seperately.
I am dreaming of a database like that, too, simply great :-). (ps) (ps)
