Complete documentation of FinalBASIC available
Mr. B.B.C. wrote:
Just in time befor the new year I may announce that the documentation of
FinalBASIC is finally completed. FinalBASIC is once again a BASIC dialect. But
the special about it is the fact that it is developed as OpenSource and allows
easy platform independant programming. With this it will be in strong competition
with Java though its capabilitites are comparatively limited.
Because of the conception can FinalBASIC deliver a quite usable performance
and could one day shake off Java. FinalBASIC, too, bases on compact bytecode
files that can additionally be compiled to machine code programs, though, then
being platform dependant, of course.
FinalBASIC is especially oriented towards client operating systems on slow
computers. Therefore could also "exotics" like AmigaOS get new software.
Under www.finalbasic.org you can
get a complete documentation of the bytecode in its current state.
The first version of FinalBASIC is a more primitive console version for
Linux that already offers mouse support, graphics and sound. Later on a
complex GUI development shall be added that moves FinalBASIC, apart from many direct
hardware resp. memory accesses, to the squad of the professional developing
tools.
The project still needs capable C programming people under Linux, but people
interested in porting the language may also already register. All information
can be found on the website.

AMCLUST: To the AMIGA community
Dear AMIGA community,
in the coming year the AMCLUST (Amiga Club Steinfurt, Germany) celebrates
its 15th year. When I founded the club with two friends in September 1987
I wouldn't have thought that we would still stick with our "old" AMIGA 15
years later. And I am not alone, even if the number of members has decreased
rapidly in the last years. Remaining is the "hard core" for which it's
worth to steer the AMCLUST towards its 20th year.
With Christoph "Chriskay" Kirsch and Marco Wilka we have sadly lost
two very good programmers last year, both have stopped their work on
AMIGA projects (DataM-II, CROSS) and have switched to Linux.
On the other side we still have very active developers with Christian
Effenberger and Guido Mersmann and some optimism is certainly justified.
In any case we will celebrate the 15th year of the AMCLUST, how and when
is not decided yet, but we are already making plans.
Without the AMIGA community the AMCLUST certainly wouldn't be existing
anymore, so a wholehearted thank you to all of you out there. A special
thanks to Petra Struck and her team for the first-class amiga-news.de.
Merry Christmas and a happy New Year, we'll see, read and hear us in the
new year...

MorphOS Uploads to Aminet from Gabriele Greco
If someone is interested I've uploaded some MorphOS related files to Aminet
on Sunday and they are finally available:
A nice vertical scroll shooter that runs in true color 640x480 with
parallax scrolling, really nice gfx. Very playable here on MorphOS,
it was almost implayable on 060...
Dowload: gammapatrolmos.lha
Port of ZIP/UNZIP, with crypt support, about 1.5 faster than the powerup
version.
Dowload: ZipMOS.lha
Port of the unix lha. VERY fast, use the unix syntax instead of the
Boberg's lha one.
Dowload: LhA-mos.lha
Version 1.2.3 of SDL, also available in .zip format at http://www.libsdl.org.
Dowload: SDL-Amiga.lha

Zorro II USB Controller: HIGHWAY Beta Testers wanted
HIGHWAY beta testers with busboards wanted.
The initial bigger tests of the new HIGHWAY cards (zorro II USB controller)
turned out that especially non-Commodore busboards behave crucial in connection
with the HIGHWAY card. To prevent our customers from being disappointed, we are
now looking for beta testers having a busboard (A1200 / A4000) and living
in or near Munich.
Interested people might contact
subway-hardware@e3b.de.
