Gary Peake: Statement on the AmigaSDK for Windows
We have, as our first concern, developers. Developers need to be able to
make money or they stop developing for a platform as we have all seen.
Windows currently holds 85% of the desktop market.
Having said that, envision a run-time environment that is so small you can
sell a CD of YOUR applications, games, etc along with this run-time
environment and know that it will load and run on Windows, Linux, etc.
How valuable is this to a developer?
Once the AmigaDE takes hold and as market share increases, then we have
even more opportunity for our developers (who are all hungry or should be
after a 9 year drought).
On the up side, there is this list, where new Linux SDK users may get
the assistance they need to remain un-shafted, and Amiga Inc.
continues to work and partner with more factions of the Linux and Open
Source communities.
And our commitment to open source won't waiver. It takes BOTH kinds of
development to enhance a platform.

WarpGIF: Rectification
If many voices are emphasing the same suggestion, so you start to believe this suggestion, even
if it isn't true. If fell for this well known phsycologic phenomenon myself.
Contrary to the opinion of many users the gif-subclass of the picture.datatype is not capable
of viewing animated GIFs within browsers. Many users claimed the original OS3.5 gif.datatype
to able to do that. Unfortunately I cannot validate this.
Therefore also with the WarpGIF.datatype only the first image of an animated GIF is viewed!
The animation only can be viewed by the respective PlugIn of the browser.

Digital Almanac:
Due to low demand for DA III production of an English version is doubtful, at this time.
The final decision on this subject will not be made until the end of this year along with
the decision if DA III will be further developed or this project will be completely stopped.
Every soled CD from now on will come with the enhanced version 1.2.
WarpGIF:
At this time support for animated GIF images on OS3.5 (picture.datatype V44) is being worked on.
This should then make viewing animated images with AWeb possible.

ADFBlitzer Verion 2.0 Available
Since yesterday, version 2.0 of the popular ADF program ADFBlitzer is available from
my homepage. Magnus Lundin, author of the first versions (up to v1.2) gave me the source
code and permission to continue development.
Currently there are mainly visual improvements. However, since almost everything has been
turned upside down internally, it might not run as expected. Therefore I ask for your
e-mail feedback if it works - or doesn't work.
Sorry but currently the only way to download the program is by the direct link (titlelink),
because my homepage has not yet been updated.

AmigaSoc Activ Again
«After several months worth of unscheduled silence, AmigaSoc is back! In
fact, we were never really gone! The primary reason for our apparant
absence was lack of time.
The company two of AmigaSoc's founder members are shareholders of has
grown from a staff complement of five to nearly fifty and has recently
received first round investment. Squeeze in the purchase and
renovation of houses, and a bit of marriage and you might begin to see
where we've been! Our user group mailing list (and a couple of others)
had to be shut down at very short notice owing to security issues beyond
our control.
Rest assured that we haven't given up and we'll still support the Amiga
community the best we can in the future.
The plethora of unanswered E-Mails and lack of updates to the website
are now being dealt with (including our popular "Lookalikes" section),
and we will aim to be back on form as soon as possible. We'd like to
thank those who have demonstrated understanding and patience
throughout this time and we look forward to once again making our
contribution.»
