Regrettably, my plans have changed and I will not be attending AmiWest this year. I have informed the organizers of AmiWest and they were very understanding. However, in my absence, Amiga will be well-represented at the event. I hope that you all enjoy AmiWest.

`19.Jul.2003` Matthias Henze (ANF)	stormamiga.lib for SAS/C is Freeware From now on Matthias Henze has released stormamiga.lib for SAS/C as Freeware. If there will be further updates in future he still cannot say. Informationen to the "stormamiga.lib" The "stormamiga.lib" is a linker library for StormC and SAS/C. The StormC version is a replacement for all 68k linker libraries of StormC, the "amiga.lib" and the startupcode "startup.o". Besides this many other functions and features are offered. The SAS/C version is only partly a replacement for the linker libraries of SAS/C. For the first time there is a linker library for SAS/C for the MC68060, too. But also the slow linker library "scm040.lib" is partly replaced by a faster version for the MC68040. The "stormamiga.lib" is fully written in assembler to achieve the maximum speed.

`18.Jul.2003` Olaf Köbnik (E-Mail)	Amiga Arena: 5 Anniversary Preview Amiga Arena - The fire still burns 5 Anniversary preview In 1998 "Amiga Arena" has been founded in order to support the Amiga Freeware and Shareware market. Beginning with a link list at the end of 1998 Amiga Arena developed to a good place for Shareware special actions. By this concept several Shareware special actions could become possible. During the time interviews (over 100 now) and the release of registered Shareware programs were added as new features. I could make possible all these things with the help of the developers and of all active users of print and online magazines and news sites. Thank you to all these people (have a look at the hall of fame) and all these ones who I have not mentioned but who supported me, too. Because of this event I will tell you the history of the last five years and will also add screenshots. But that is not all! During the "Amiga Arena anniversary weeks" there will be several actions with many developers and companies. With the help of the list of participants you may imagine what things you can expect. The summer will be hot - the fire still burns! Commercial participants: AmiAtlas Team Amiga Future amiga-news.de AMIGAplus Airsoftsoftwair Apex-Designs e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment gmbh Funtime World Hyperion Entertainment IOSPIRIT Inutilis Imperium KDH Datentechnik Shareware participants: Gutmann, Steffen (MuiBase) Hodges, Chris (Poseidon USB) Dröge, Sven (Bonds) Hoffman, Helmut (PhotoAlbum/CyberShow) Jahn, Bert (WHDLoad) Kimna, Christoph (PairsNG) Kost, Stefan (SoundFX) Unger, Thomas (The Kickstart Archives) I want to thank all participants! I hope you will take part in many of the actions to show me that the last five years have been useful and to show the developers/companies that their work is still wanted!

`17.Jul.2003` Rudolph Riedel (E-Mail)	File Manager: DiskMaster Version 2.5.23 Rudolph Riedel has released version 2.5.23 of his file manager and put it up for download (title link) on his homepage. This time there's a version compiled with GCC as well as a version compiled for Amithlon. Owing to the Amithlon license Rudolph Riedel could not test the latter. The most important changes in brief: 2.5.23 (2003-07-17) 74096 Bytes New version numbering - the next full version will be 2.6. Many little changes have been made to DM2, in order to make it compliable with GCC, VBCC and GCC for Amithlon -> portability. IRQ Server has been replaced with timer.device code -> portability. Mistake correcting. Rudolph Riedel: "I allowed myself to issue a call for donations on the Internet. I would love to support the AmigaOS in the future, but my A1200 is really not suited for this anymore and I really don't have the spare cash for a better Amiga. I guess I have more motivation than credit..." (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 17. Jul. 2003, 20:42] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
