`27.Nov.2000` Stefan Instinske on ANF	Alternative-Games.de will start on December 1st, 2000 Lately there were an increasing number of cooperations and joint-ventures of firms that only released for one of the alternative computer systems until now. We want to support the activities of these firms by establishing a portal for users of every alternative system. This portal will contain news, reviews and much more. From the start there will be an Amiga and a Macintosh section. For additional sections we are missing people who are willing to help us to make the project a success. We are looking for section managers for Linux, BeOS and Milan (Atari). But we still need some persons for the Amiga and Mac sections. If you would like to help us with reviews and reports, please mail to info@alternative-games.de. [News message: 27. Nov. 2000, 11:49] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`26.Nov.2000` Jarno van der Linden on the Open Amiga-ML	AmigaSDK: Atoll On November, 25th 2000 Jarno van der Linden published the alpha version of the developer tool 'Atoll'. This tool converts C link libraries, like libpng.a or libjpeg.a almost automatically into a tool set (tool sets on AmigaSDK "match" to the libraries on other systems). Up to now is has been tested successful with libpng.a and libjpeg.a (part of gfx/misc/libjpeg-6a.tbz2). To use Atoll knowledge of VP assembler is necessary, and knowledge of sed and regular expressions are useful. Atoll itself additionally needs the gd.tgz-Archiv. The documentation for Atoll declares how to convert libjpeg.a into a tool set. To try this example the gfx/misc/libjpeg-6a.tbz2-Archiv is needed.

`25.Nov.2000` Günter Horbach on ANF	KDH Advent Calendar with Surprises From 1st to 24th of December 2000 (except of 8th to 11th of December) KDH proposes a top deal at a very interesting price every day. So there is a new daily highlight from 1st to 24th of December. Click on the corresponding door of the KDH advent calendar and discover the daily proposition. The best way is to take a daily look at the KDH advent calendar so you won't miss your dream deal, since every proposition lasts only for exactly one day. Since we are at the WoA 2000 we'll have to suspend our deals for that period. [News message: 25. Nov. 2000, 11:52] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`25.Nov.2000` AROS	AROS Update From November, 3rd 2000 to November, 19th 2000 following information about the evolution of this AmigaOS compatible open source OS have been added to the AROS homepage. Joerg Dietrich added a ppm.datatype for PPPM graphics, and the dtdesc tool. This tool allows to create and analyse datatype descriptions. Georg Steger used it to improve the FTXT datatype. The binary.datatype has been ported back to AmigaOS V3.5 by Joerg Dietrich. Tobias Seiler fixed a long standing bug in the keyboard initialization of AROS Native/i386, so PS/2 keyboards should work now. Georg Steger first added a port of reqtools.library, and then ported more and more programs which use Reqtools and fixed a lot of bugs in the code. The port of Reqtools should be finished, soon. He finished gadtools.library. He also committed rewritten routines for the DOS functions MatchFirst(), MatchNext(), and MatchEnd(). These should work in all cases, now. This fixes all the related bugs, like List C:. He also fixed some bugs in the graphics.library-to-HIDD driver and the workbench.library as well as renamed the OO Routines into something more easily distinguishable from BOOPSI (the OO system also used DoMethod(), etc. which could cause confusions). Johan Alfredsson worked on DOS commands (Info, Status, Execute, Which) and fixed a lot of bugs in the dos.library. He ported the C:Search utility written by Neil Cafferkey to AROS. He added the nvdisk.library. He added and finished the nonvolatile.library. [News message: 25. Nov. 2000, 03:18] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`25.Nov.2000` Markus Lueck on ANF	Amiga, Inc.: Executive Update by Bill McEwen In the new Executive Update by Bill McEwen, the main subject is OS3.9 (sales lauch on the WoA2000), and the SDK. According to McEwen there is a possibility of another classic AmigaOS Update (4.0). Good sales of OS3.9 are the condition to this however. Executive Update Dear Amiga Family: It is now November 2000, eleven months after we took over the helm of Amiga. We have made some changes to the original plan, and continue to do our best in carrying the vision forward. In the next two weeks, the next new product from Amiga will begin shipping - Amiga OS 3.9! This build has been designed specifically for one group - You, the Amiga family. We have been working very closely with Haage and Partner in creating a great new product offering for Amiga that you will all be very proud of. Will there be a 4.0? This really depends on the sales of OS 3.9. You see, we did not have any plans for another version of the Classic OS. But we continued to receive requests, and because we listen to community, we decided to move ahead with Haage and Partner on this project. If OS 3.9 sells well, and we see a continuing need to produce for the existing Classic Amiga platform, then there is a strong possibility of a 4.0. It is in your hands. No matter what happens, AmigaDE is still moving ahead quickly and we look forward to delivering another version of the Amiga Software Development Kit (SDK) with new features and enhancements. In the coming weeks, we will be adding 3D and sound to AmigaDE. There are many more exciting things happening at Amiga and I look forward to sharing with you all of the great details, and announcements in Koln, Germany in December. I look forward to meeting all of you there, at the Amiga World tradeshow. Bring a friend! Looking forward to a great visit in Koln, and a wonderful holiday season, Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga team. [News message: 25.

`25.Nov.2000` Kevin Picone on ANF	AGE and Metal Combat AGE (Advanced Graphics Environment) is an AGA + game graphics library for Amos programmers, that we were working on a number of years ago. It's not complete, and it's not likely to be, so we've decided to release it as it is. Also, we've released our "Metal Combat" speed test engine and source for what was to be a simple A1200 Virtual Fighter clone, that we were working on in '95. Note it's NOT a game, just an engine demo, it was possible. We just could make the characters at that time. Maybe somebody else can do that today... [News message: 25.
