iFusion Support
After a long time of waiting the iMac emulator iFusion
is available, now. With this the entire world of software a for the iMac
opens to the Amiga users. To be able to use iFusion an Amiga PPC-card
and a 'new world' MAC operating system is required. iFusion
along with the operating system MAC OS9.1 can be delivered at a special price.
KDH Datentechnik is distributor of iFusion in Germany.
To ensure smooth distribution KDH Datentechnik and
Eternity are co-operating.
Eternity took the task of iFusion support in Germany.
Applications and games for the iMAC will be tested by
NoRiscNoFun and
play!Amiga and both will determine
if such are runnable under iFusion.
Test results will be published and summarized in a iFusion compatibility list.
iFusion, the tested MAC games and applications will be available at the
online shops of Eternity and
KDH Datentechnik.

STL for StormC 4
Raymond Zarling has ported the standard template library (STL) to StormC 4.
This library is an extended collection of algorithms and data structures which
can facilitate very much the creation of programs. It is also stated to be
part of the current C++ standard.
The Amiga sources are to find at Aminet, original sources are to find at
stlport.org, and documentations are at sgi.com:

Aminet: Flash-Update for PPC-Cards a Fake
The flush-update of PPC-cards (flashupdates.lha, size 940kbyte) which
was uploaded on April 17th, 2001 is a fake which was not written by Ralph
'Laire' Schmidt being the author of PPC-software as he confirmed.
Ralf: "No..i haven't uploaded it. I notified the aminet admins to remove it."
Matthias Scheler, who is the co-admin of the Aminet, confirmed to amiga-news.de
that the supposed ppc-update has been removed.
Each user who downloaded and installed the flash update is advised to remove it
and to control the integrity of the software by using a current anti-virus-software
because it is possible that it is a virus or a Trojan.
Ralph Schmidt furthermore confirmed that he would never upload PPC-updates to the Aminet.
The only sources for his Flash-Updates are:

HTML-documents without having a lot of experiences.
KidHTML stays being shareware and can be registered over

do not have to send smaller amounts to the author to Brasilia but a total amount can
be sent. Amiga Arena wants to support foreign authors with it and appeal to the
honesty of the users. You can find further information in the download area under
"Vollversionen".

Tools: Choowin V1.1 Available
There is a an improved version v1.1 of Choowin. The design of the menus has been
reworked and sub-menus have been added to the start-menu. Other characteristics can
be now configured above all the background pattern and the aligment of the text.
Download: choowin.lha - 32 kB
Choowin is a small help program starting programs and putting windows to the foreground
and activating them. It is comparable with a task-manager. You simply push one of the
buttons in a corner of the Workbench-window and then choose either the program or the
window title in the appearing list.
With the tooltypes you can define the position of Choowin and the size of the appearing
window and can decide which windows are to be displayed. The programs in the start-menu
are also defined with tooltypes. Choowin is freeware and requires at least AmigaOS 3.5.

3ivx News
In future licence fees will be charged for using 3ivx as the following press release
supposes. Private users pay 10$, commercial users pay 400$. 3ivx is a
video-compression-format for MPEG4 which is used by some Amiga-programs as SoftCinema and MooVId.
Press Release: 3ivx, solving the streaming video problem
Truly multi-platform MPEG-4 video means encode anywhere, play everywhere
April 17, 2001 - Happy Machines releases its third preview version of
the 3ivx codec. 3ivx takes video compression to a higher level. This
is the first release which includes a free personal test encoder as
well as a version for MacOS X.
<http://www.3ivx.com/>
<http://www.hollywood.org/3ivx/>
"Streaming video is very important for our customers," says Marcel
Bor of On The Road, an Equant Service Provider "That's why I am
extremely pleased with the quality of 3ivx movies, even better than
Real 8!"
This release includes a lot of enhancements resulting in improved
video playback while maintaining small file sizes and low bit-rates.
Technically this translates into:
- Scheduled Asynchronous Decompression
- Advanced frame queue management
- FrameCache and Flextime Frame management
- Hardware Accelerated YUV Output
The encoder and the decoder are available on the site for immediate
download. There are 3 versions of the codec available, a free test
codec, a $10 version for personal use and a $400 version for
commercial use.
3ivx is a natural video compression system that is compliant with
MPEG-4v3. The strengths lay in its open architecture, multi-platform
approach (Windows, MacOS, Linux/Unix, BeOS and Amiga) and it's high
compression ratio which compresses video's and moving images to one
thirteenth (1:13) of the size of a DVD or MPEG-2 movie while
maintaining approximately the same quality.
Happy Machines is a Belgian company that represents a creative team
and a large international network of inventors, software and hardware
developers, designers in various fields such as imaging, satellite
communications, artificial intelligence, machinery etc., which has
contacts with top-manufacturers worldwide. The company is also member
of the MPEG-group and is an Inmarsat partner. It is orientated on
project development and related intellectual properties.

Software for Studying Languages for the AMIGA
At the title link you will find software to learn: Chinese, Japanese, Korean,
Russian, English, French, German, Italian, Portuguese, and Spanish with the AMIGA (CD-ROM)
This software is not new, it is more like a sales out, but there is no such
software then so it is worth to mention. I have bought this software and like it.
This is a training for vocabulary and speaking (with digitalized voices), and for
Asian and Russian languages with the special letters.
The vocabulary is presented by pictures, the computer prints on a click on a
thing the respective word (with translation if wanted) and plays a sample of the
word. A training/quiz is available, too.
Also there is a short summary of the most important rules of grammar (in English).
For the version to learn Japanese you can download a demo version from the website.
The programme is available in different versions for OS1.x and OS 2.x and higher,
but even this is some years old, so it will open on PAL or NTSC screen. You can
promote it without any problem to any screen mode you like, it runs even on a 68060
and with OS 3.9 and MagicMenu.
