interesting details are arriving:

A Dutch radio station announced to create an Amiga special on the Show.
VPRO-TV - Amiga Special
The editor board of the TV station VPRO-TV took the task to create an Amiga

File manager: Directory Opus 6 released
As already reported, yesterday, in the article
File manager: DirOpus V4.15m Beta
the PC version Directory Opus 6 was released at
GP Software.
While rummaging in the Aminet uploads I stumbled upon the following text inside the
DOpus6 readme file (title link):
"ALL REGISTERED USERS OF DIRECTORY OPUS 5 FOR THE AMIGA ARE ENTITLED TO A
25% CROSSGRADE DISCOUNT ON THE PURCHASE PRICE."
This is interesting for Amiga users using a PC, too, and not wanting to miss
their favourite file manager. The 30-days-PC-test-version is available e.g.
here (DOpusInstall.exe).

Golem: Transmeta sales decreasing drastically
»Orders from Japan decreasing
The still fresh processor developer Transmeta now also warns of intelligibly lower
sales in 2Q01. For a reason they mention the bad economical situation which now
spreads to Japan, too - Japan is Transmeta's biggest market place.
Though additional manufacturers to produce their own chips could have been
gained, orders from Japanese Notebook manufacturers are significant low.
Therefore Transmeta adjust their sales expectancy to 40% - 45% below sales
in 1Q01 (18.6 millions USD).«

Heise: Bill Gates likes Open Source
»Bill Gates recently told that he basicly has nothing against free software: "An ecological system with free and commercial software which leaves the costumer the decision is an important and healthy ecological system". But he criticized the General Public License (GPL) because it forbid commercial enterprises to use work or to build on it which has copyrighted by the "Pac-man-like" character of this licence. What Gates understands under "Pac-man-like" he unfortunately did not told.«

A Dutch television station will make recordings of the show and will

Virus Help Denmark: Safe Version 15.9
With the viruschecker ´Safe´ you can look for virus but you can not eliminate them. It follows the details to version 15.9 which has been published today:
Name: Safe v15.9
Archivename : Safe.lha
Archivesize: 33.767 Bytes
Releasedate: 19. June 2001
Programmer: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski
Required: Amiga with OS 2.04+ (xvs.library strongly recommended)
News in v15.9:
- Added BOBEK2 linkvirus (memory removal and XFD slave to see it in files with VirusZ).
This one was very difficult to handle in memory. File detection is very easy and
shouldn't generate any false positives.
- Kicked out TCPPATCH/S parameter in order to make place for code that kills BOBEK2 in memory.

Asyncio.library (68k+WarpOS) update
There's a new update for the asyncio.library with WarpOS support (V40.6).
Sadly the last version had the same problems in PPC writing mode than
before. This update fixes these problems so that there shouldn't be any
more lock-ups on writing with PPC.
If there shouldn't be any problems with it, this will be the last version
since there'll be no more optimizations by me that could make the
library more efficient.
