PageStream price action until May, 16th 2003
Grasshopper LLC, developer of the DTP application PageStream, wrote:
We have been inundated with requests to continue to offer our discounted
price for PageStream full copies and upgrades. Of course who can blame
them! Paying less than 1/3 retail for a powerful desktop publishing
program like PageStream, not to mention discounts across the board on
upgrades sure does help the pocket book. For those new customers who have
joined the PageStream crowd, welcome aboard! However, all good things must
come to an end! After May 16th, PageStream's pricing returns to our normal
great price!
New Web Site In Development
We have decided to take it upon ourselves to make a radical redesign of
the GrasshopperLLC web site. Our basic design goals are to make it easy
for new customers to learn about PageStream's features, samples, how it
compares to others, and of course how to buy it. We hope to provide near
instant download access to new purchases. For existing PageStream users,
it should be easy to find answers to common questions, new scripts and
templates, and more. We have set up a survey on our web site asking for
input on what you would like to see on our website, and to tell us about
your favorite sites. The survey can be found at www.grasshopperllc.com.
Suggestions and any other help you can offer can also be directed at
sales@grasshopperllc.com.

Racer Source Code will be published as GPL
As you might know, there seem to be a bunch of people in the Linux
community who have a problem with Racer not being GPL'ed.
This might be a good time to take a crossroads. I plan to release
the Racer v0.5.0 source code under GPL. I don't think I'll host that
version after that, since we don't have that much bandwidth and
would take time that I'd rather put in other things.
After the GPL release, I'll close the source for future versions.
This does not have any impact on the strategy of Racer, which means
a free executable version for the platforms (although I still have
the problem of DRI executables for Linux, since I don't have such
a set in my possession).
There are plans for commercial implementations using Racer, and you
may have noticed things like 'ecol' or 'ecue'. Those are proprietary
extensions. Probably RakNet (a quite cool networking library) will
enter the game as well. It becomes harder to get clean source code
out the door, free of rights. Also, since the multiplayer component
might take a bit of a boost with RakNet (at least take out the
2-player limit at once), it would be too easy for hackers to create
modified versions of Racer and find their way through the network
protocol.
Although I'm sorry for all those interested in the source code, it
seems like the right path. There's always the GPL spinoff that could
be maintained. I'm not sure how that's going to turn out; I'm getting
major support these days in putting realism and knowledge into Racer's
physics and that is interesting for anyone.
The 2 Racer version will drift apart, that's for sure, if only because
of the networking protocols, I'm afraid. I'm not convinced however that
a GPL spinoff (with which I will have little to do) will go to bigger
heights than a closed source one. Even though it potentially means
more developers, it still takes a lot of devotion to make stable
improved versions without hacking little bits in just for the day.
So with the GPL version you'd have OpenSource, but no license to commer
cially sell it. It just still seems a bit counterproductive almost to
split the project into two.
Comments will be read with interest, although with these things I can
imagine you'll have 2 groups; those that are for and those that are
against, and nothing much will bring the 2 together.

Online Magazine "NoCover" Accessible on its Own Homepage
Many Amiga fans already know about it, the time-honored online magazine "NoCover" has finally found its earned place on the Internet.
The complete homepage contains clearly over 200 megabytes and was completely newly and currently uploaded on 7th May, 2003. As always,
near the current edition of the loved online magazine are the old editions as well, quickly and easily found under the menu option
"NoCover Guide," and individual articles may also be quickly found through a comprehensive oversight structure. A visit in the current
issue or the back issues is always rewarding.
This mighty big, but long overdue, Internet debut of "NoCover" was made possible through the sponsor
www.ConnectWeb.de, who made available server resources and hosting on their servers, and also together with Wolf Zimmer, who is
responsible for the complete editorial portion of "NoCover," handled around the updating.
We would also like to take this opportunity to remind you all that we absolutely need active helpers for "NoCover." So we always seek
volunteer editors, who have the desire to look after and care for a single area in "NoCover" and to contribute regular articles. We also
rejoice over individual articles on any familiar theme. Regular editors have the advantage of getting their own email address with a giant
Pop3 email post box (200 megabytes in size), and self-evidently also a secure SMTP server with authentication of the webserver
"AS2-Chicago" in order to dispatch their own emails. Besides there is also an individual subdomain that will be established, so that in
addition to emails regular editors may also get their own free hom page. We are able to offer this package as a little reward to all
volunteer editors who would like to regularly and actively help the magazine.
Of course the online magazine may also be gotten as usual, through an email subscription from Wolf Zimmer, as well as the website
APC&TCP and on Aminet.
We ask for your understanding that the new homepage, despite an astounding start, is still not fully complete, and we sincerely invite
you to the "NoCover" homepage. Further we would naturally be delighted to be linked from many Internet sites, in order for "NoCover" to
become again the biggest Amiga meeting point, as it was in earlier times.
We wish everyone much fun at the homepage of NoCover and rejoice at your visit.

Toolbar for Pegasos (Test version)
Carsten Siegner writes:
"Today I've prepared my MOS-native toolbar for Pegasos in a test version. This puts PNG icons of whatever programs are used on the toolbar,
where they may then be clicked.
Right now the gadgets are not yet activated, and the program thread is read from a Box.pref data. This toolbar supports only the new
MorphOS icons in PNG format. The whole thing has the advantage that I can easily build FX effects into the gadgets, which look
fantastic. To get this toolbar demo to run, you must download the usual libs from my homepage. This toolbar was written with "Hollywood
for MorphOS." (nba) (Translation: dm)

amiga-news.de Community T-Shirts (Update)
Since February 2003
we've been discussing in our forum the question of if and in what form we could
offer t-shirts with the amiga-news.de logo. Rolf Tingler, our home-and-garden graphic artist, has the opportunity to
stain some t-shirts. To those whom "staining" doesn't mean anything: the numbers of soccer t-shirts are usually
used up per staining (whoever has had this done knows how expensive it can be).
In his shop Rolf Tingler now offers different T-Shirt-Designs in different colors with the amiga-news.de logo from 17 euros and up. The
shirts consist of top quality ring-spun cotton (minimum 180g/qm) with double-seams at the arm and collar. The staining is washable up to
60 degree [Celsius, I think -dm] and the colors of the staining don't fade.
The amiga-news.de logo can be printed according to the wishes of the purchaser: large across the back,
small at front right breast, or both. Take a look at the pictures in the online shop, and click, to blow them up.
If you like, a nickname may be placed under the amiga-news.de logo, at no charge. This should be no more than 12 letters if possible.
Update: (14.07.2011, 00:00, cg)
While moving old static content to the database, the following gallery with pictures of the community t-shirts has been added to this news item:

New Genesi/Phoenix-Mailing list for demo coders
At MorphOS-News.de
Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco announce the opening of a mailing list for demo scene coders:
The DemoScene@phinixi.com mailing list is open for business / Genesi
sponsoring Demo Scene Online Party in Fall 2003.
The Peagsos I is out to about 600 avid users now and things are
starting to get whipped up for the introduction of the Pegasos II in
September 2003. We have always had respect for true Demo Teams because of
the way technical and creative skills are intertwined to produce unique
results with a computer. We decided that to truly be a success the Pegasos
and MorphOS needed to do their best to support the Scene. The Scene can
bring things to the Pegasos that no one else can.
To that end we have decided to lend ten fully configured and loaded Pegasos
machines to Demo Teams that have demonstrated past success and a desire to
produce a demo with the Pegasos for a Demo Scene online Party to be
sponsored by Genesi in the Fall of 2003. The Online DemoScene Gathering
will be open for voting by all Pegasos owners only -- one Pegasos, one
vote. First prize for the best Demo is 1000 Euros (and keep the Pegasos),
second prize 750 Euros (and keep the Pegasos) and third prize 500 Euros
(and keep the Pegasos!!!). For all teams that successfully present their
demo they can keep their Pegasos ( :-D ). If they agree to produce another
demo they will be lent a new G4 card with the same terms (and keep the card
if they deliver the demo).
To be selected for the DemoScene special offer each Team must be screened
and selected by the Phoenix DemoScene Executive Committee that is being
lead by Mikko Virtanen aka Hooligan of Dual Crew-Shining. We will ask
"Kiero" of the MadWizards, the winner of the Equinoxe DemoScene Competiton
and LoRD, of 4Mankind, the first Pegasos contest winner to also be on the
committee.
We will develop a special section on the MorphZone to keep track of these
special Demo Teams. All necessary documentation and support will be
provided to the DemoSceneTeams.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

Haage & Partner: New Amiga start page and discussion forum
Haage & Partner have fitted their start page of the Amiga area to the new web design of the company and opend a discussion board also.
Haage & Partner write:
"Because we use HTML 4.1 (transitional) and Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) now the layout doesn't look good with the Amiga browsers. We tried to add some HTML tags so that the pages will work on the Amiga browsers. The deeper pages are not changed so everything stays the same here. The file size of this page is reduced with this action to 1/3...
After the server move we decided to abandon the mailing lists. But we installed with phpBB one of the best and common discussion boards. For Amiga users there are three exclusive areas and additionally the Pagestream board that is intended for all versions. The main language is German now but English is welcome also, just like it was with the mailing lists. The boards are not moderated, we ask therefore to please accept the usual rules. Abusing entries will be deleted by us without any record. We hope to get interesting discussions. (nba) (Translation: ub)
