Midi: camd.library V40, CamdBnp-Tools
The camd library v40 as well as the CamdBnp tools for BarsnPipes were
released on the NSM page.
'camd' is a shared library for midi, which is part of the AmigaOS. Due to
several problems with the original one and because there was no camd.library for
AROS, this library was completely new programmed. This one should work like
the original one and was successfully tested with 'BarsnPipes' 'Radium', and the
'CAMD' toolkit.
An additional driver 'mmp' and a special camd midi driver for WinUAE are
available for download for this library.
The 'camdbnp.lha.zip' archive contains 64 tools for BarsnPipes, which should
simplify the communication with other programs. The 'camd library' is used for
this communication.
'camd40.lha' and 'mmp.lha' contains both binary and source code
(APL, AROS Public License). The includes are part of the AROS source code and
also available via e-mail.

GFX-BASE: poll results and font tutorial
On the GFX-BASE you can now find the results of our latest poll. We had 331
votes regarding our question which graphics board you use/own. Have a look
yourself to see which one got the most votes.
Additionally we have a new (English) tutorial. It's all about fonts. We
explain the use of different fonts and font tools as well as the conversion of
different font types that you can use on the Amiga. We also deal with webfonts and
the use of fonts in word processors.
And then we have received again some more entries of games and scene demos that support graphics cards. More to follow soon.

Amiga Society says thank you!
97% of the poll participiants want the Amiga-Society to stay alive! For this we
want to thank you very much, as well as we thank all the people who offered us their help
and to whom we will surely come back in the next time.
The site is now available in a light version. The two central points
'Schlachtfeld' and the 'BBoAH' are still online. By the way, there's a poll running
whether a software page (in German) shall be created on the basis of the Big
Book of Amiga hardware. The full functionality will be reached again until
September, but till then it will have changed in content in quite some ways!

Role-playing game: Exult 0.93alpha4
Rüdiger Hanke writes:
My Exult port for Amiga is available for download on my homepage. Exult is a role-playing
game engine which can interpret Ultima 7 datafiles. Ultima 7 still captivates after many
years with an epic storyline, a vast world and many details. You can find some screenshots
on my webpage.
The story: 200 years have passed in Britannia since your last visit as the Avatar.
Driven by the mockery of a demonic creature calling itself "The Guardian", you travel
once more to Britannia and arrive in Trinsic on a scene of gruesome murder. Maybe the
new organization "The Fellowship", which is gaining more and more influence
in the lands, is involved in it? Or maybe this is just the beginning of a larger plan that might endanger
all Britannia?
Required is an Amiga with FPU and graphics card as well as the original PC game by Origin. Please
note that the files on the disk version are usually packed and have to be installed on an
MS-DOS system to get the required files. Alternately, the uncompressed game is contained on
the "Ultima Collection" CD-ROM. As a small goodie for the Amiga I have included a preferences
program with which you can change all game options with a graphical interface on OS3.5 and above.
An interesting tidbit: While porting the game, I found a sourcecode to read IFF files. Indeed,
some of the Ultima 7 files are in IFF format. Even the chunk lengths are in Motorola and not
Intel byteorder ... (ps) (Translation: rh)

e.p.i.c. interactive: Feeble Ubdate
Thomas Steiding of e.p.i.c. interactive entertainment GmbH wrote:
Update & FAQs about The Feeble Files
As announced last week we require at least 400 pre-orders to enable an Amiga port
of the cartoon adventure The Feeble Files. Including today's entries we received
232 pre-orders and we are hoping, that the following days will bring the rest. The game
can be pre-orders from us (order@epic-interactive.com)
or from any stockist.
With the enclosed FAQ we hope to be able to answers some frequently asked
questions regarding the announcement.
Q: What is The Feeble Files about?
A: The Feeble Files is the official sequel to Simon The Sorcerer II by the
British Adventuresoft company. Feeble is a little green alien having the task to
make circles in grain fields on earth. He lives in a world restrictively ruled by the Omnibrain
and he is an honest citizen never violating the group's big catalog of rules. But one day this kind
hearted gawky stumbles into a full-grown conspiracy against the Omnibrain. As one can see from the
screenshots on our homepage, the characters of this game are fully rendered. The game comes along
with complete German or English spoken samples. The German games magazine PC-Games rated the title
at 80%, then. The German vocals came for example from the German movie voices of Brad Pitt, Whoopi
Goldberg, and Roseanne. More information and topical Mac screenshot are to find on our homepage.
Q: What Amiga do I need for The Feeble Files?
A: The Feeble Files requires an Amiga equipped with a 4 MB graphics board and 32 MB of memory.
Furthermore a 68060 OR a PPC CPU is required. Theoretically the game would run on a 68040/40, but
sure would be very very slow on this configuration.
Q: When will the game be out?
A: As soon as we have received 400 pre-orders (no matter if those were directly ordered
from us or from a vendor - who forwards the orders to us), we will start to port the game to
the Amiga. Due to the porting engine of our leader of development, Paul Burkey, the game
then should be shipping for the Amiga within 6 weeks!!
Q: Will there be more Amiga games from e.p.i.c. interactive?
A: Theoretically it would be possible to port to the Amiga more games currently available for the Apple
Macintosh. But since license fees for other games, e.g. like in case of the Settlers clone
Knights&Merchants or the RPG-mix Gorky 17, are much more expensive (and hence the number of
sales to be expected for an Amiga version must be higher), it is clear: If The Feeble Files port will not
become reality, we don't need to start thinking about more games. (ps) (Translation: mj)
