PBEM game: Tamar needs new land! (VI)
The Massive Multiplayer PBEM game 'Tales of Tamar' will be extended by another area of land. The following announcement is taken from the game's forum:
For the sixth time, we start our event 'Tamar needs new land!'. - Once again, all of Tamar has been settled, and new land has to be found for new realms.
Don't miss that opportunity! It will take place on September 1st, only 10 days from now. Start with other players under equal conditions, and show that your a contender for the rank of emperor!
Explore regions of Tamar that no man has set foot on before. Meet unique challanges like dragons, undead and other creatures, and prove yourself in the contest with other human players.
Hint 1:
Our price of 500 Euro for the first emperor among the realms created after January 1st 2005 has still not been claimed. (You'll find the detailed rules in the ToT forum).
Hint 2:
If you enter the keyword "Shareware" in the field for the serial number while registering, you can start playing for free. A turn fee will only apply once you got deeper into the game. Also please add the remark that you want to start on September 1st.
Hint 3:
Since the clients for Mac OS and Linux are also playable on the same world, we need some beta testers for these systems.
Wishing you a lot of fun,
with best regards,
Your ToT-Team & Wolfen (snx)

Genesi: Support for the AMCC 440EP Yosemite board (Update)
Press release Genesi is pleased to announce that it will provide under license the Pegasos hardware abstraction layer and IEEE 1275 compliant Open Firmware (HAL/OF) for the recently released AMCC 440EP Yosemite Board.
The Pegasos HAL/OF approach brings with it immediate GNU/Linux kernel support as well as support from a growing number Linux distributions, including Debian, Gentoo, YDL, Ubuntu, CruxPPC, Montavista and Fedora. An OpenSolaris PowerPC port is also underway. The Pegasos HAL/OF has been used and is being used to support PowerPC-based platforms from Freescale, IBM and now AMCC.
Genesi recently participated in the first European meeting of Power.org
held at the Barcelona Super Computer Center. At the Event the Pegasos HAL/OF approach was discussed as a
potential standard for PowerPC based boards to speed system enablement.
"Already, companies like Genesi USA Inc. are building PowerPC processor-based systems using the IEEE 1275 Open Firmware model to bring
PowerPC technology, flexibility, and efficiency to the desktop, low-end server, home entertainment, and pervasive computing markets at an affordable price. The hardware abstraction layer of the PegasosPPC has been integrated into the mainline GNU/Linux kernel and includes an x86 emulation extension which allows generic PC-based components to be used."
The Pegasos HAL/OF approach enables the vast software resources currently available on the Open Desktop Workstation to be shared with other PowerPC-based platforms. The Open Desktop Workstation is a CHRP compliant platform based on the
Pegasos and composed of standard PC components. The Pegasos HAL/OF provides a
logical successor to the CHRP standard replacing hardware dependent code with API callbacks to an abstraction layer that provides a common interface
to operating systems and/or applications as required.
Update: (18:51, 23.08.05, snx)
At linuxdevices.com you can find a photo and an article about the Yosemite board. (snx)

PageStream: IRC session / Updates for AmigaOS/68k and MorphOS imminent
As Grasshopper LLC inform on their mailing list, updates for PageStream 5.0 are imminent. Besides a much improved MorphOS version, there will also be an Amiga/68k release for the first time.
Furthermore there will be an IRC session with Deron Kazmeier (IRC nick: "PageStreamSupport") to celebrate the 20th anniversary of PageStream. The conference will start on August 27 at 22:00 CEST (3 PM Central Standard Time) on irc.dal.net at channel #PageStream. Some systems will require a specific server (a few users have used mesra.kl.my.dal.net if all else fails).
To celebrate this anniversary, users who purchase (or have already purchased) PageStream 5.0 or PageStream 5.0 Pro will find a grab bag of goodies in the download section including some commercial clip art and the Amiga's much beloved TypeSmith font editor. These goodies will be available until the end of this month only. (snx)

Kick Off 2: World Cup 2005 in Germany
The 5th official Kick Off 2 World Cup is coming to Germany. It takes place
from November 12th to 13th, 2005, in Cologne. After England, Holland,
Greece and Italy had the honor of hosting before, it is Jörg "Panni"
Pansen and Sascha Weigelmann who organise this big event in 2005. They
expect guests from all over Europe and as the hosting country they
hope that a lot of fellow countrymen join them in the games, partying and
finally battle for the World Cup title.
The official forum to the WorldCup is at
. On this forum
there are - sometimes rather vivid ;) - discussions concerning the rules
and all kinds of Kick Off related topics.
Kick Off 2 is a computer based football game from the company Anco back
from the year 1990, which was mainly successful on the Commodore Amiga and
the Atari ST. The game is still fascinating today because of its rapid
gameplay and the unique way of steering, where it needs real skill to
control the ball. The fun while playing is enormous and even so many years
after the release there is a giant fanbase. (snx) (Translation: nba)

Feelin: Patch for beta version 050819
Olivier Laviale has released a patch for the recently published beta version 050819 of his object-oriented system Feelin (amiga-news.de reported).
The patch does fix the following bugs:
1. dos.library/DupLockFromFH() does not work with WinUAE virtual volumes (and maybe large disks). Because the function was used by FC_Document, Feelin was unable to read XML files, which result in an empty preference editor. This is fixed now.
2. "Prefs" has not been linked properly, resulting in a crash when the program ended. This is fixed now.
Furthermore, one person reported a dimension problem: the preference editor window was too big, ~1500 pixels. The author would like anyone to contact him who has experienced the same issue.
