Petro's Aspect of the Story...
AmigaScene from the Netherlands has asked Petro Tyschtschenko on the start of his company
and put his answers on ANF to notify:
«First of all many greetings from AmigScene and AGGF from the Netherlands!
We stumbled upon the story of your new company and the relating comment from Bill McEwen.
We sure just could publish this, but befor doing so we want to have your story on this.
Also if you cannot say anything about it, we ask you for reply. Regards from your dutch
followers! Marvin Droogsma»
Petro Tyschtschenko's reply:
«I do not intent to leave my beloved Amiga and to flee from the community by this.
It is right that I have taken a 50% share in the Power Service GMBH as an inactive partner
to spend my evening of life in financial independence, as I hope so at least.
After all I am already 57 years old and so one have to think of this. Still my entire strength
belongs to the Amiga and I have not done anything unlawful at the expense of Amiga, at all.
It is no crime to take a financial share in a company in whose targets I believe, isn't it.
In this sense, your Petro»

Mirror of the Frogger MPEG Player homepage online
Due to problems with routing the domain to Germany, Marco Frischkorn offered
the programmers of Frogger webspace, so the site and downloads are more easily
available; think of this as a mirror.
Fact is: the page is now also available at
www.highantdev.de/frogger/.

On 30. September 2000, Epic Marketing Germany will say good-bye after four years in the Amiga market,
and will start two new companies on 1. October 2000. Due to this, the homepage is reworked and
will be reposted in early October.
The company will be split into two areas on 1. October 2000:
epic interactive will turn towards the

the systems Milan and Amiga One is targeted as soon as those are available
on the market.

"Dafel: Bloodline" and all other titles will be available soon on www.epic-interactive.com.
For the Classic Amiga, we will soon present the games Simon The Sorcerer 2, Earth 2140 and
Dafel: Bloodline. If this platform will be continuously supported depends on the success of
these three products, "Earth 2140", which is in beta phase, can be preordered until
15. October 2000 at a special price.
epic multimedia will be about the distribution
of games, info- and edutainment titles for different platforms (Mac, Win, Linux etc.).

special prices until 30. September 2000.

Amiga Link Directory with Special Aminet Search Function
In recent months, the Amiga Link Directory became one of the most favourite search
engines and AMIGA directories thanks to its unique features. Now we add yet more!
Starting immediately, you can search the Aminet for WWW adresses and files. Enter the
name of a program whose homepage you are looking for, and just cannot find in the ALD.
ALD will scan all files on Aminet matching the search string, and look in the .readme files for
WWW adresses. The result of this scan will be listed in a table. To get you results
quickly, every link will only be listed once, even if given in several .readme files.

Supplement:
Bill McEwen, CEO Amiga, Inc. made the following statement
to the above:
"I would be shocked and personally hurt to find out that Petro has not been making Amiga his
first priority, and that he has been using his Amiga paid trips to India for his own personal
gain. We pay him a wonderful salary, we pay for his Mercedes, his cell phone, and his beautiful
offices. He has never spoken to me about any issues or problems, and if he has truly been using
our money and time to promote his own company I will be extremely disappointed. I hope that
Amiga-News is wrong in their findings."

New UAE JIT Patch Available
"Just a quick note --- there is a new "bleeding edge" patch for UAE-JIT for Linux.
It fixes some minor problems, and adds some important changes to the JIT compiler.
If you had stability problems in the past, you might want to try this one. I have
made a source patch and a few pre-built binaries available. Please understand that
this is more or less a snapshot of work in progress, not a full "release" (can't
have a release --- the Premier League had last weekend off due to an international
;-), and as such requires you to know what you are doing.
I am fairly confident that the source compiles, and that the binaries are actually
built for what they claim to be built form, but that is about as far as I'll go....
;-)
If you haven't used UAE-JIT before, and plan to download one of the new binaries,
PLEASE also download the "patch against pristine sources" from the Derby County
release. You don't want the patch, but you *definitely* want the documentation that
comes with the same archive!

WinUAE 0.8.14 Release 2 Available
At the title link, release 2 of the WinUAE version 0.8.14 is available. With WinUAE, you
can emulate an Amiga on your PC.
New in release 2:
- FIXED: Picasso96 screen-modes weren't being drawn/updated correctly.
- FIXED: Sound-buffer slider gets disabled when no audio output is selected.
- FIXED: German GUI DLL is accurate now. (Thanks Georg)
- ADDED: Flicker-free Amiga screen updates when full-screen. Doesn't affect Picasso96 screens, though.
- CHANGED: Sound output tweaked again, should be "slightly" better.

New SSTV-Software for Radio Amateurs
At the link comm/misc/af_mksstv.lha a test version
of a program for sending pictures through SSTV (narrow band television) is for download. At the moment you only can send
pictures by using
the modus Martin M1. No special hardware is required. The output is realized over the audio output of the Amiga -
you will hear a 114 seconds long whistle. The recommended hardware is a A1200 with OS3.0, but a faster one would be better.
User comments, bug reports and suggestions are welcomed. A further development depends on the user respond.
