KDH Advent Calendar with Surprises
From 1st to 24th of December 2000 (except of 8th to 11th of December) KDH
proposes a top deal at a very interesting price every day. So there is a new
daily highlight from 1st to 24th of December. Click on the corresponding door
of the KDH advent calendar and discover the daily proposition. The best way is
to take a daily look at the KDH advent calendar so you won't miss your dream
deal, since every proposition lasts only for exactly one day. Since we are at
the WoA 2000 we'll have to suspend our deals for that period.

DiskMaster 2.5b9 released
The beta version 2.5b9 of DiskMaster, the popular filer, contains a lot of
bugfixes and changes. For details check the history. Compared to the former
version the following changes have been made:
- Fix: Browsing through the lists using the roll-symbol does need so much cpu
time anymore.
- The internal Startup.DM has been simplified and expanded.
- Fix: The patterns for auto-commands were limited to 32 characters.
- Fix: 'PrintDir' rewritten.
- The minimal/default stacksize for 'Extern' is now 8192 bytes.
- Filesystem-messages must now explicitly be activated with "SetX
notify".
- Fix: The file reader handles binary files better now.
- Fix: The attempt to delete an assign in the DEV/VOL/ASN list resulted in
the directory to which the assign points to be deleted. Now only the assign is
deletd.
- Fix: In the DEV/VOL/ASN list volumes may now be renamed.
- Fix: A 'SetX' without "digits=" resulted in incorrect rounded sizes
- New: In stand-by mode DM2 now only accepts two ARexx-commands: 'Quit' and
'Wake'

KDH Datentechnik will attend the WoA2000
After an initial refusal, KDH-Datentechnik now decided to attend the
WoA 2000
as an exhibitor. All the customer calls which asked KDH to participate were
decisive factors for this decision.
We really appreciate that KDH finally decided to attend, because we
believe that the wider the offers are, the more people will be interested in
visiting the fair.

AROS Update
From November, 3rd 2000 to November, 19th 2000
following information about the evolution of this AmigaOS compatible
open source OS have been added to the AROS homepage.
Joerg Dietrich added a ppm.datatype for PPPM graphics, and the
dtdesc tool. This tool allows to create and analyse datatype
descriptions. Georg Steger used it to improve the FTXT datatype.
The binary.datatype has been ported back to AmigaOS V3.5 by Joerg Dietrich.
Tobias Seiler fixed a long standing bug in the keyboard initialization of AROS
Native/i386, so PS/2 keyboards should work now.
Georg Steger first added a port of reqtools.library, and then ported more and
more programs which use Reqtools and fixed a lot of bugs in the code. The port
of Reqtools should be finished, soon. He finished gadtools.library. He also
committed rewritten routines for the DOS functions MatchFirst(), MatchNext(),
and MatchEnd(). These should work in all cases, now. This fixes all the related
bugs, like List C:. He also fixed some bugs in the
graphics.library-to-HIDD driver and the workbench.library as well as renamed
the OO Routines into something more easily distinguishable from BOOPSI (the
OO system also used DoMethod(), etc. which could cause confusions).
Johan Alfredsson worked on DOS commands (Info, Status, Execute, Which) and
fixed a lot of bugs in the dos.library. He ported the C:Search utility written
by Neil Cafferkey to AROS.
He added the nvdisk.library. He added and finished the nonvolatile.library.

Amiga Forever 4.0
Amiga Forever is the all-in-one Amiga emulation and connectivity environment for PCs,
officially licensed by Amiga International. We are pleased to announce the
release of Amiga Forever 4.0. This new version includes version 3.1 of the
Amiga ROM and OS files and AGA support under WinUAE. Additional pre-installed
programs and features, like for example Personal Paint, DirectoryOpus 5.5,
TurboText, drag-and-drop LhA de-archiving, and the ToolManager dock have been
updated.
This version additionally includes an archive with a new,
ready-to-run PowerMac version. This emulation is currently the only way of
having an Amiga laptop (if we assume that you install it on a PC laptop or on
a Mac Powerbook/iBook)
New features of Amiga Forever 4.0:
- GlowIcon look (as used in Amiga OS 3.5, but also compatible with NewIcons
and MagicWB)
- Option to switch entire environment from "new look" (GlowIcons) to
"old look" (Classic) and vice versa
- Amiga Explorer 4.0 (includes revolutionary self-install over serial
cable, plus new Cut, Copy, Paste functions)
- Directory Opus 5.5 (courtesy of GPSoftware)
- Personal Paint 7.1b
- Built-in support for ADZ and DMS disk image files
- Print spooler (easily print all Amiga documents under Windows, bypassing
parallel port emulation)
- New emulation and Workbench configuration results in faster emulation of
the Amiga CPU
- New MenuBox launcher (easier to use)
- Dozends of other enhancements and new add-ons
- MPEG-1 videos (CD-ROM version): The Deathbed Vigil (one hour and 58
minutes) and Jay Miner Speech (49 minutes)
Amiga Forever 4.0 - Overview
Amiga Forever contains state of the art software to satisfy two major needs
of many Amiga users: to share data between Amiga and other systems, and to use
their existing Amiga software and data on non-Amiga hardware.
Additionally, software, tutorial and reference files which are likely to be of
interest to any Amiga enthusiast are included with the CD-ROM. More details.

Amiga, Inc.: Executive Update by Bill McEwen
In the new Executive Update by Bill McEwen, the main subject is OS3.9
(sales lauch on the WoA2000), and the SDK. According to McEwen there is a
possibility of another classic AmigaOS Update (4.0). Good sales of OS3.9 are
the condition to this however.
Executive Update
Dear Amiga Family:
It is now November 2000, eleven months after we took over the helm of Amiga. We have made some changes to the original plan, and continue to do our best in carrying the vision forward.
In the next two weeks, the next new product from Amiga will begin shipping - Amiga OS 3.9! This build has been designed specifically for one group - You, the Amiga family. We have been working very closely with Haage and Partner in creating a great new product offering for Amiga that you will all be very proud of.
Will there be a 4.0? This really depends on the sales of OS 3.9. You see, we did not have any plans for another version of the Classic OS. But we continued to receive requests, and because we listen to community, we decided to move ahead with Haage and Partner on this project. If OS 3.9 sells well, and we see a continuing need to produce for the existing Classic Amiga platform, then there is a strong possibility of a 4.0.
It is in your hands.
No matter what happens, AmigaDE is still moving ahead quickly and we look forward to delivering another version of the Amiga Software Development Kit (SDK) with new features and enhancements. In the coming weeks, we will be adding 3D and sound to AmigaDE.
There are many more exciting things happening at Amiga and I look forward to sharing with you all of the great details, and announcements in Koln, Germany in December. I look forward to meeting all of you there, at the Amiga World tradeshow. Bring a friend!
Looking forward to a great visit in Koln, and a wonderful holiday season,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga team.

AGE and Metal Combat
AGE (Advanced Graphics Environment) is an AGA + game graphics library for Amos
programmers, that we were working on a number of years ago. It's not complete,
and it's not likely to be, so we've decided to release it as it is. Also, we've
released our "Metal Combat" speed test engine and source for what was to be a
simple A1200 Virtual Fighter clone, that we were working on in '95. Note it's
NOT a game, just an engine demo, it was possible. We just could make the
characters at that time. Maybe somebody else can do that today...

on the discussion boards of Amiga Inc. To protect Amiga Inc.'s reputation, the
board will be closed on December 1st, 2000 for indefinite time. It is recommended
to switch over to the discussions at amiga.org.
We recommend on this occasion of course our own discussion boards.

News about the WoA 2000
- Hourly presentations
- Seminars on OS 3.9, hardware, software
The official letter which is currently sent out by Haage & Partner to
10,000 customers:
Dear customers,
dear Amiga friends
A tradition continues. You still keep faith with your Amiga. It's time that the
Amiga market gets a boost. Help to strengthen the Amiga market and visit
the World of Amiga in the heart of Cologne.
We have decided at short notice, and moved heaven and earth, to present you
the new AmigaOS 3.9 in time for Christmas.
To give the fair a professional but also comfortable setting - the town hall in
Neuss was already occupied -, we went back to the "Cologne tradition"
and discovered a new location: the centrally located MediaPark is
futuristic, offers a comfortable atmosphere and above all the required technology.
Car parks are available in the underground car park below. In the building there
also is a restaurant.
The fair takes place in Saal (300 qm) and Foyer (180 qm) of the Mediapark
No. 7. Two more rooms in the next building offer space for presentations. We
try hard to make the fair as interesting as possible for you.
Take the chance - we'll anticipate your visit!
