`04.Jul.2001` Fun Time World	Compiler: vbcc V0.8 Volker Barthelmann released version 0.8 of his portable ANSI-C compiler 'vbcc'. This compiler is open source. There are backends for m68k, PPC, i368, DEC Alpha, c16c, and HC12. Program code for AmigaOS, several Unix variants, and Windows can be generated. The archive released for Amiga computers contains the compiler, preprocessor, assembler, linker, frontend, message browser, startup codes, C libraries, amiga.lib, replacements, as well as several other tools for generating code for AmigaOS/68k, WarpOS, PowerUp, and MorphOS. Most of the tools (but not all of them) are available as binaries runnable on 68k Amigas or PPC Amigas with WarpOS or PowerUp. The following has changed since the prior Amiga version: Bugfix: several bugs fixed in compiler, optimizer, tools, and libraries. Changed: enhanced generating of code. Changed: enhanced optimization, incl. inter-procedural-, cross-module-optimization and alias-analysis. New: some c99 features supported: long long flexible array-members as a structure's last element mixing of statements and declarations declarations inside of the for-loop inline function-specifier restrict-qualifier Vararg-Makros. _Pragma increased translation-limits. stdint.h New: Stack check as well as measurement of the stack size required. New: Documentation in PDF- and HTML format. New: New Attributes like '__amigainterrupt' and '__section'. New: New #pragmas for PPC like 'amiga-align', etc. New: Inline-headers for the WarpOS PPC-native-libraries. New: (Backend-specific) pre-defined makros. Changed: Enhanced libraries and headers. Changed: New versions of Frank Wille's assemblers and linkers. New: Use of a built-in preprocessors. New: MorphOS support. The developer kit runs on AmigaOS 2.0 and above with at least 1 MB RAM. But to compile bigger programs definite more RAM is required. To compile Amiga programs the AmigaOS includes are required in addition (Developer-CD by Amiga, Geek Gadgets CD, and similar). Download: vbcc.lha (3,6M), Readme (sd) (Translation: mj) [News message: 04. Jul. 2001, 20:24] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`04.Jul.2001` Timo Kloss (E-Mail)	Music: Inutilis News about Moonlight Timo Kloss wrote: There are two new listening patterns of Moonlight. These are about extracts from the songs "Fallen Angel 2" and "Night", which do NOT originate from test recordings, but from the original CD versions! This music mainly was created on an Amiga. Since I don't have enough web-space, I only can offer two patterns at once. To enable an overview regardless, the songs will be changed about every second week. inutilis.de now has got a new start page containing an advertising banner, too. You might be right, if you think that inutilis will be infested with advertising, now, but there will be Moonlight banners on many other pages in return. So please, forgive me!

`04.Jul.2001` Apple	Apple puts Power Mac G4 Cube on hold Apple Press information: Feldkirchen, Germany, 4. July 2001: Apple will put on hold the production of the Power Mac G4 Cube for an indefinitely time. Even though there is little chance to re-introduce this unique computer by an all around renewed model, there are currently not plans to do so. "Owners of a Cube love this computer, but most of the customers decided in favour of a Power Mac G4 mini-tower, instead", said Phil Schiller, vice president, worldwide product marketing, of Apple. The Power Mac G4 Cube, only 25% as big as a common PC, represented a completely new class of computers: the power of a super-computer in a 8-inch-cube hanging inside of a glassy casing.

`02.Jul.2001` Alexander Fritsch (ANF)	New PC Emulator: First Beta-Version available Alexander Fritsch wrote: The first official beta version of a new pc-emulator is now available for download at the title link. The program emulates an XT with 8086 CPU and textmode. There are a 68000, 68020 and a PPC-version. Two disc drives and a harddisk are currently support as imagefiles. The emulator was tested with TurboC 2.0, Borland C++ 2.0, Turbo Pascal 5.0, Norton Commander, LHA, ARJ and PKZIP. Topicaly they are working on the graphic support, at least for CGA-modes. I have to mention that this emulator is a complete new program and not just a port of a program existing on another platform. This means that a further development depends on my own motivation and the interest of the users. Please feel free to report bugs and indications. (ps) (Translation: sk) [News message: 02.
