Andreas Kleinert: Completion to the MorphOS-Statement
Some authentic questions that reached me by email as reaction on the MorphOS-Statement (i summarized the answers):
- Q: Read today that you do not want to write datatypes for the MorphOS. It is a pity.
- A: Maybe I produce something different for MorphOS.
- Q: I hope that you do not have the intention to turn away from the amiga.
- A: I am still using my Amiga. At the moment.
- Q: You wrote that there are nearly no registrations for your datatypes at the moment.
I know why. [...] If there would be an easy way to register I really would like to do it and use the DT.
But for doing this I will never apply for a credit card or waste my time by clicking through english pages. [...]
The easiest way would be a money transfer.
- A: Money transfer is available since, I do not know when. It is explained in the documentation.
And about generall things
- Q: All together I want to praise you for your products and I hope you are developing them.
Versions for Windows (under development), Linux, maybe Amie (if it will be released some day) and maybe as a
PPC-plugin for AWeb & Co would be greate.
- A: I will not port anyone of my programs to Amie in the near future. Windows is in a early alpha-stage and
Linux is interesting too.
There won't be PPC-plugins [refer to akMPEG] but it is possible to integrate them in the actual version.

Probably no akDatatypes for MorphOS
Contrairy to the original plans there will probably be no akDatatypes especially for MorphOS. The reasons are:
- Andreas Kleinert has not enough time, because he is busy with other - non free time- projects.
- The akDatatypes support many platforms at the moment but the SAS/C-Source-Tree needs some changes to become crosscompatible
with gcc (or vbcc), because SAS/C is not available for MorphOS and also isn't the best choice for the PPClib any longer.
- To involve other programmers in the developement, e.g. by CVS and the opening of the sources to a closed group of people,
could help but surely the interest is way too low.
- The Warp-datatypes were already ported to MorphOS and are free.
- At the moment there are no more registration-request for the akDatatypes. This is another clear sign.
Andreas Kleinert suggests the MorphOS-Users to use the Warp-datatypes instead.
It is possible that programs of Andreas Kleinert are ported to MorphOS.
There will be annoucements when the product is available.

Additional Information for Predator
Eyetech has released additional
information about the PCI-Board "Predator".
The Board will be available for A1200 (in Tower-case) and A4000 Desktops. If request is high enough a version for
A4000T will be made, too. The Board is connected directly to the expansionport of BlizzardPPC and CyberstormPPC boards
so the whole 4GB-adress-space of the PPC can be used. It offers 3 PCI and one AGP slot. The slots are clocked
with 66MHz and 32bit-wide bus. In addition there is a SD-RAM-socket on-board (PC100DIMM) for up to 256MB of RAM.
This memory is available for the PPC-processor and graphics boards in the AGP slot. The bus is completely PCI 2.1 compatible
and offers busmastering and DMA. The A4000-version of the board also has an A4000 video slot.
A 3D-driver for Voodoo 5 which is supposed to be shipped with the board is under developement.
The release date is set to late September/early October.

StormC 4 in Betatest
According to Steffen Haeuser, the next version of StormC dubbed "StormC 4", not to be
confused with StormC V4, is in beta testing phase. This update will offer the following
new features:
- Aside from the traditional StormC Code Generator now also gcc can be used as Code Generator.
gcc will replace the old Code Generator for all future versions.
Though it is internally gcc, you can use project files and all that like usual.
- For PPC a new port of gcc for WarpOS is used. This is the first gcc-WarpUP which actually
runs fully in PowerOpen, and does not switch "on-the-fly" between PowerOpen and System V.
- StormC 4 runs on 68k and PPC machines, and produces output for 68k and for WarpUP machines.
- The "StormC-gcc" can link together with Linkerlibs and object files from the "old" StormC
and it directly produces Amiga Executables (no elf2exe2 needed anymore !!!).
- It supports all features of StormC which gcc did not support up to now (including MixedBinary
and easy creation of Shared Libraries)
- It is possible to compile through the network, so that with 4 Amigas, compilation is 4x faster.
(Currently only Envoy-Network, but TCP/IP planned)
- CVS Support integrated
- Major enhancements in the editor and the help-system
- A tool to keep track of open bugs/todo-stuff was added
- First gcc-implementation which simply installs using an Installer-Script :)
