`03.Apr.2022` OSnews	Overview: The world of non-C operating systems As an online portal, The Register provides news and analysis from the world of technology companies. In a recent article, the authors explore the question of what current commercial operating systems exist that were written before C was invented or that do not use the C programming language at any level or layer. They explain that the Basic Combined Programming Language (BCPL), a compiled, system-oriented programming language developed by Martin Richards in 1966 and first implemented at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in the spring of 1967 (cf. Wikipedia entry) , was by no means just an insignificant transitional step, since it was used in two famous operating systems: so also in the TRIPOS operating system, which was later used as the original basis of AmigaOS. Furthermore, an overview of programming languages and OSes based on them is given, for example Lisp with the OS Mezzano, Interim or ChrysaLisp. (dr) [News message: 03.

`03.Apr.2022` Patrick Nevian (Mail)	Chris Hülsbeck songs: Album "Piano Collection II" released Patrick Nevian is a hobby programmer responsible for games like Ambermoon Arcade or the 'Tales of Gorluth' series. He first combined his hobby and his profession as a music producer and pianist in 2008, when he interpreted songs from various Amiga games on the piano and released them as a free album. The musician Chris Hülsbeck, well-known for his soundtracks for the Amiga games Apidya, Turrican or Rainbows, among others, became aware of this and released the album 'The Piano Collection' with the pianist in 2015 after a successful Kickstarter campaign. Following a survey conducted in 2020 as to which Huelsbeck titles should be included on another album, Patrick Nevian has now released Chris Huelsbeck The Piano Collection - Volume II: The Players Choice, which can be ordered as a CD for €29.00 free shipping. Title List: Apidya: War at Meadow's Edge The Great Giana Sisters: Ingame music X-Out: Main theme Z-Out: Main theme Jim Power: Main theme Gem'Z: Credits The Apprentice: Main theme Turrican: Victory Turrican II: Freedom Grand Monster Slam: Main theme Tunnel B1: opening music Rock N Roll: Music from level 1 Turrican I bis III: Medley of main themes Turrican II: The Wall Turrican III: Medley from level 1 and 2 Madness: Main theme The Adventures of Quik & Silva: Ingame medley Two bonus tracks (dr) [News message: 03.

`02.Apr.2022` Twitter	Graphics card ZZ9000: New firmware version 1.10 Lukas F. Hartmann's ZZ9000 is a graphics card with additional features and ports (network, USB, SD cards), which can be preordered in different versions (amiga-news.de reported). Yesterday the new firmware version 1.10 was released providing the following improvements and new features compared to version 1.9: Adds support for the ZZ9000AX audio expansion with native 48000Hz, Stereo s16i playback and capture. Capture is not yet supported by driver/tools. Adds AHI driver for ZZ9000AX. Please note that only very fast Amigas can mix 48kHz audio through AHI. If you have a 020 or 030, it's best to use 24kHz for AHI. Adds MP3 decoding support on an ARM core of ZZ9000 powered by minimp3. The tool axmp3 in the drivers package demonstrates direct MP3 playback at 48kHz, with very low Amiga CPU usage (not using AHI). The tool is Open Source. C code refactor splits out many modules from ZZ9000OS main.c for better maintainability According to the developer "the plan is to ship out the bulk of ZZ9000AX batch 1 orders next week, which is supported by this firmware."

`01.Apr.2022`	MorphOS: Screenbar-Plugin MouseEyes 1.4 The #amigazeux team has updated the screenbar plugin 'MouseEyes', that displays eyes in the screen title looking at and following the mouse pointer, to version 1.4 for MorphOS. Changes: The pupils of the eyes are now only shown on the active screen. On all other screens running an instance of Mouseeyes, the pupils are hidden. This also has the side effect that one can easily spot the active screen based on existing pupils in case of a multi-monitor setup. Now comes with a real Installer script courtesy of InstallerGen by Rob Cranley. (dr) [News message: 01. Apr. 2022, 06:13] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
