According to the page under the
title link,
the Usenet group "comp.sys.amiga.announce" is active again.
This is an English language, moderated group for announcements from the Amiga
sector. This group is not meant for advertising but rather for product

The group has originally been set up by Dan Zerkle in December 1990, who also moderated
it till 1998. Now Brian Edmonds has taken over moderation.
The group's charter and further information are accessible through the title link.

Programming Language: PowerD V0.19 alpha7
On 16th June 2002, Martin Kuchinka published version 0.19 alpha 7 of his
programming language "PowerD".
This version contains an number of bugfixes. A debugger has been added.
The following changes have come into effect since the previous version:
- added a ddbg tool to debug Your sources
- fixed assembler error when EXCEPTDO without Raise() occured in ppc code generator
- fixed eight enforcer hits
- when compiling a library, the library is placed in source's directory
- a bit fixed line statement in error reporting
- prohibited JUMPing to another procedure
- renumbered warnings, now starts with 900
- fixed IF <constant> for ppc
- fixed some structure scanning, added new error messages
- debug file do at last support (not yet finished) debugger :)
- END do now check, if allocation (NEW) was successful
- added error message, when SUB is called and not found
- fixed [~CONST]:x (CONSTants with single operators in lists)
- and much much more
This publication is a very early alpha version. Please send references to
errors, suggestions and ideas to kuchinka@volny.cz.
The compiler runs from AmigaOS V3.0, CPU 68EC020, 4MB RAM and 3-4 MB free space
on the hard disk. The compiler itself doesn't require an FPU. The generated
programs, however, will require an FPU if they use floats.
The PPC binaries run with powerpc.library.
Apart from the compiler, "phxass" and "phxlnk" will be needed for generating
68K code, as well as "pasm" and "vlink" for PPC code.
These programs can be found on the homepage of Frank Wille.

AROS: Update of CD-ROM ISO, vote about Zune
From Matt Parson's AROS page:
"I have updated the CD-ROM ISO, sorry about the delay but my exams got
in the way. I'm moving house, so it is likely that I may not be able
update this site for about two weeks.
Adam is currently working on a Workbench... I will bring you an updated
AROS disk as soon as there is something to show.
I have a new vote on my Feature request page, we need to decide the
new name of our MUI clone (Zune), now that it has been chosen as the
standard GUI Manager for AROS."
The DNS entry for aros.org has not yet been updated. However, the
AROS homepage is accessible via its IP address:
195.143.191.17.

Little Book of Amiga Software: 6 new games
6 games have been added to the "Little Book
of Amiga Software":
- Updated: Games list
- New entry: Bundesliga Manager professional
- New entry: Obsession
- New entry: Super Monaco G.P.
- New entry: FIFA International Soccer
- New entry: Rock'n Roll
- New entry: Battle Command
Further news from the Amiga Society website:
20 more entries are being prepared. But we want to fill the entries with
more life in the future.
So, in the future there will be more "updates" of existing entries than really
new ones, but for that there might be more interesting information about the
particular games and applications.
The updates for the hardware page can already be viewed at the English parent
site. Alas! a translation is still far off.
An update for the Schlachtfeld page will hopefully come into effect this weekend
- let's see if we'll have enough time.....

RC5-64: 80% of the possibilities calculated
This world wide competition is aiming at cracking a 64 bit key by calculating
all 18,4 trillions possibilities. To achieve this an uncountable number of
computers is working together all over the world by using a small program to
make free computing time available for calculating purposes. Since August 1997
is the Amiga-RC5-Team-Effort participating in this competition to bring the
Amiga back into the public's awareness.
For the time being have 80% of the possible combinations been calculated. It is
expected that the key will be cracked at the latest in 188 days.

A.D.A.: Demo archive updated - new sort functions and much more
The Amiga Demoscene Archive (A.D.A.) has been updated. Here is the complete
text containing all the changes:
Update with 6 new productions, including 5 party winners:
Repugnance/Powerline (1st at Icing 97), Jesus was a demomaker/Ramses
(1st at Euskal 6), Grid/Nature (1st at Mekka Symposium 1999), Real/Complex
(1st at Saturne 2). Then we go way back in time with the first 1988 release
on A.D.A.: Wild Copper demo/Wild Copper (aaahhh, the scroller on the workbench
brings back some nice memories!). And then another party winner and a real
classic in amiga demo history, Enigma/Phenomena (1st at Anarchy Eastern
party 91)!!
Other news: it's now possible to sort the complete demo list by year (just
select "view by release date" and press "refresh view"). Thanks to pVC on
ANN for this idea. And we are working on a comment/vote system. It's not
finished yet but it is already possible to register, vote and comment.
So now it's in your hands to make this site much more interesting!!!
More additions to the voting/comment will be added (like top demo
charts,...).
What the future brings? More demos, demos and demos! Please think about
voting/comments as it would really add something wonderful to this site!
Enjoy!
