Heise: Background details: Microsoft are Stricken
«Crippled due to the cartel case, tantalized by cracker's attacks, and trailed by the general downwards trend of the PC branch the software giant from Redmond now starts to paddle hectically. Because the signs are indicating storm: For the first time after ten years and for the second time in the company's history at all Microsoft had to call out a profit caution for the current quarter. PC sales in the otherwise so opulent Christmas business are stagnating worldwide, thus the best income source stops bubbling the way Bill Gates' crew was used to. After all, almost a third of volume of sales Microsoft draws from the fact that vendors sell PC's along with Windows or other products by Microsoft.»

MUI: NListtree V18.6 Beta 5
Carsten Scholling released beta version V18.6 Beta 5 of the MUI class 'NListtree'. This class displays data in a tree structure. For this time the update contains bugfixes and useful enhancements.
  • Bugfix: Multiselection bug fixed, which allowed entries to be dropped on thier children entries (crash!)
  • Bugfix: Position calculation rewritten. No more accidently deleted entries.
  • Bugfix: Drop-Typ "Sorted" never occured
  • Bugfix: Renaming the user field wasn't possible.
  • Bugfix: MUIV_NListtree_Insert_ListNode_ActiveFallback (see Autodocs).
  • Bugfix: Inserting open nodes into one closed leaded to wrong position calculation (reported by Luca 'Hexaae' Longone, thx)
  • New: Second find method implemented (user field). This searching function is rather meant as a backup to have different searching possibilities, if needed. (Hooks must not always be set again).
  • New: MUIA_NListtree_ShowTree implemented (tree on / off). Useful for different sorting orders for which a tree structure maybe isn't wanted.
  • New: Spanish localisation by Javier de las Rivas.
  • New: New Trigger-Attribute: MUIA_NListtree_SelectChange.

New InstallerNG
I have uploaded a new version of InstallerNG to the support page (and to Aminet). A stupid bug in the message system of the built-in BOOPSI GUI has been fixed, and new is the CALL-PLUGIN function which allows the user to implement own functions in InstallerNG by a typed API and to use it from a script. Example source code for this as well as for all of the other API modules are included.

Only the URL www.aminet.de is offline since the domainprovider has problems. The current URL is www.amiga-gateway.de/aminetgui/index.html. All services of the GUI can be reached under this URL. more ...

EASys! Update 4.8.4 and bugfix with OS 3.9
The update to version 4.8.4 of EASys! will be ready for 20.12.2000 at the latest. User who bought the 4.8.4 CD-R package at the fair in Cologne don't need that update anymore. But following things should be arranged with 4.8.4 CD-R package so OS 3.9 runs completely.
  • rename the file EASys!:config/OS39_with_toolsdaemon to OS39_with_rexxmenu
  • in file SYS:StartSys/e_WB/2_Toolbar (or 2_ToolManager_EASys) add one line before the startup of the toolmanager:
    wait 10
    this is required because an asynchron simultaneous start of AmiDock and ToolManager causes a bug.

New Sample-Set for WormsDC
Since Hyperion are taking their time for "Worms Armageddon" for the Amiga, I have created a new sample-set with up to 90% of German samples for the old "Worms - The Directors Cut" (try the "Suizid-Oma" or atomic bomb;)). This puts the fun back into WormsDC :-). Caution: the set is approximately 3 MB large (you need a lot of Fast-Ram to use the samples). more ...

SEGA in the red
(Irina Srebot) - Since the introduction of the Dreamcast console, the former hope becomes a millstone round the company's neck. The Japanese company faces a financial dilemma. Sega expects for the current financial year a loss of 193 million Euro. Despite price reductions to stay competitive with Sony's Playstation 2, there's no hope for a change. Analysts recommend Sega to concentrate on developing software. Since March 2000, Sega sold profitably 30.2 million games. more ...
