Flash: GUI for SWF encoder
Today I have finally finished my GUI for the SWF encoder of the "SWF-Tools". With this encoder you can convert JPEG, PNG or WAV files into Shockwave-Flash files. These are the famous animations on some homepages. This encoder I have already tested and it runs very great on my Amithlon computer and my Amiga 68040. To make people not questioning my programming capabilities I have uploaded a small SWF file to my homepage that I have encoded today with my Amiga. It runs demonstrably with Voyager and with the stand-alone "SWF-Player" from Aminet.
The SWF tools kindly had been ported to the Amiga by Rainer Böhme and Matthias Kramm as there have been ports for Linux, Windows, MacIntosh and Sun for already quite some time.
This program "Swf-Encoder" by me handles right now the single frame and the animation encoding. But I have to say that the handling of the animations is not very easy. Furthermore the encoder offers the possibility to convert MPEG compressed files with WAV header into SWF files.
Here a test file of the Amiga "Swf-Encoder": http://home.t-online.de/home/Carsten Siegner2/Testanimation.swf
The LZX package contains the according images that I have used. So nobody can doubt this :))

RC5-64 HAS BEEN SOLVED!
On 14-Jul-2002, a relatively characterless PIII-450 in Tokyo returned the winning key to the
distributed.net keyservers. The key 0x63DE7DC154F4D03 produces the plaintext
output:
The unknown message is: some things are better left unread
Unfortunately, due to breakage in scripts (dbaker's fault, naturally) on the keymaster,
this successful submission was not automatically detected. It sat undiscovered until 12-Aug-2002.
The key was immediately submitted to RSA Labs and was verified as the winning key.
See title link for the complete press release. (ps)

Statement from H&P about Amithlon
»The current differences between every party involved with the Amithlon
project are by way not that easy as they are described in the internet
discussions - often from one perspective only. Our contract regarding the
distribution rights for Amithlon is still valid. We have been reluctant with
public statements, cause we try to resolve the differencs between the parties
privately. We want to resolve the problem and would like to see the contract
being fulfilled by all parties. The internet audience can not help with these
negotiations and will often be used, to spread the own oppinions as the only
ones that are true. Also the one, who cries the loudest, just expresses the
own perspective. To solve the conflict round on Amithlon it is important to
mediate between the different perspectives in private negotiations.« (ps)
