First screenshot of "Civilisation - Call to Power" for OS4
Thomas van Spitjoud is currently working on the port of the
strategical "Civilisation - Call To Power" to be released
for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0. On his webpage under the
title link he pusblished the first public screenshot of the
alpha-version ctp2 v0.1 so people can see it is real. For now
the game only runs in window-mode, there is no sound yet and
of course the overall stability is quite bad so a first
beta version is expected to be released not earlier than
in a few weeks.

deceided to upload a beta for testing. It's running as good as the prior

Cloanto: Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0
Seattle, WA - January 6, 2004 - Amiga Inc. and Cloanto are
delighted to announce that Personal Paint 7.1 will be available
on the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 operating system.
The Personal Paint series of 2D graphics and animations
applications has been a mainstay of the application base for
the Amiga platform ever since its introduction in 1992 and it
is also a star attraction of the Cloanto Amiga Forever package.
As Cloanto considers a new version of the product for AmigaOS
4.0, it has decided to show its commitment to the Amiga
platform and community by making the source code of the current
version available to Amiga Inc., allowing them to create a
PowerPC native version for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 product.
The created binaries will be owned by Cloanto but will be made
available for free download from the Amiga and Cloanto web
sites.
Cloanto and Amiga are also in talks concerning a new version of
Amiga Forever, as well as a special version of Amiga Forever
for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic
Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga
operating system and hardware.
About Amiga

of multi-media technologies to the world. Today Amiga continues
