Tool: Search v1.2 published
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
On the homepage of Airsoft Softwair Search v1.2 has been just published. This program enables you to search through text files but especially CD-catalogs with a small GUI. You can configure the program in the way that you can e.g. use it as a search program for whole CDs.
So it was used e.g. on the "The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition" CD-ROM. Besides this the program supports several languages and presents the results in practically formated AmigaGuide-file. Search is Freeware and is downloadable from the homepage of Airsoft (title link) from now on.

Amiga-Vip.net and Amiga-Info.net close down
Because of a lack of interest of the Amiga-users Amiga-VIP.net
(consumer portal), Amiga-Info.net and Amiga-FAQ.net have been closed down!
If there will be new possibilities to create a sensible database
Amiga-VIP.net will go online again with a slightly changed concept!

Amiga Security Page: DDOS with the Amiga?
Cyborg writes:
After yesterday the firewall section and the first steps with Miami's IPFW have been upgraded now a first application for this upgrade is ready to demonstrate what DDOS-technology is, how you can find it and where it has its disadvantages.
The presented program could also be an enrichment of the Instant Messager scene on the Amiga if anyone would write a GUI.

Stiftung Warentest: Internet-searchengines: Google hits best
»Currently Google is the best searchengine in the Net. Google found ten times the suitable answer to ten questions. It follows Altavista, Lycos and Metager with nine hits. STIFTUNG WARENTEST tested 20 searchengines and catalogs. 13 are only sufficient and one is inadequate. The weak point of most of the searchengines: The results are falsely weighted. More than a half of the founded hits had nothing to do with the searched topic. test-online gives hints how you search and find.«

Motorola has announced an important breakthrough at developing of semiconductor-materials: The producer succeeded in putting gallium-arsenid-transistors in a narrow gallium-arsenid-layer which grows on a silicon-wafer. This breakthrough is supposed to enable new chip generations with combined silicon- and light-issueing transistors - with it cheap optical fiber-network-solutions are supposed to be enabled.«

Repulse Soundcard does not support Movieshop so far (update)
Carsten Siegner writes:
As you can read in the amiga-news.de news from 30.08.01 a new Toccata-emulation was
announced as the only emulation to work together with Movieshop of the VLab-Motion.
Unfortunately I have heard from Alien Design today that the 'Repulse' does not work
with the program Movieshop. Because the developers do not have a VLabMotion you need
to test the functionality.
I have offered help to test the software so it could be done in some time.
Update 06. September 2001:
Stefan Sommerfeld,
programmer of the Repulse Toccata emulation, posted in a comment to this message:
This message is wrong in some sense. The MovieShop support was almost finished and
will be available on our homepage
this very day. Since a couple of weeks tests with MovieShop have been done and
except for some little features every thing works quite good, already.
Anybody wanting to test the new Toccata emulation now, should download the new
drivers. Of course bugreports are very much welcome.

Warp Emulation Suite: WES Version 1.0
Hitman/Code HQ is pleased to announce the release of
WES v1.0.
WES (Warp Emulation Suite) consists of a master controlling program,
WarpKickstart, and a suite of emulation engines, which allow you to
emulate a large number of machines. As time goes by, more and more
engines will be added to the suite. It currently supports six, most of
which are currently related to MAME, as follows:
WarpMAME - Based on v0.37 Beta 16 of the PC sources
WarpMAME Classic - Based on v0.37 Beta 5 of the PC sources
WarpNeoMAME - Based on v0.37 Beta 16 of the PC sources
WarpNeoMAMEClassic - Based on v0.37 Beta 5 of the PC sources
WarpMESS
WarpNeoPocott
The reason for there being two versions of MAME in the Suite (WarpMAME
and WarpMAME Classic) is that MAME is getting bigger and slower all the
time, and is moving to a 16 bit only screen mode system. This will make
it too slow for our old Amigas. So WarpMAME Classic was born. Play your
old favourite games using WarpMAME classic and the latest MAME games
using WarpMAME - probably quite slowly until the AmigaOne comes along! :-)
WarpNeoPocott is an early and quick port of a Neo Geo Pocket emulator.
