Heise: The Mac inside the PC - for nothing
«Anybody who always wanted to check out if Mac OS indeed makes less problems than
Windows now can test this directly on the PC: Emulators Inc. offers the Macintosh emulator
Fusion PC for free download,
from now on. Emulators too over this sofware, which only runs under DOS (Window's DOS-Box does not
fit), last month. Next month they want to release the entire source-code, due to their own statements.
This shall become content of a tutorial on emulator programming.»
For full article, see titlelink (German).
As already reported here on 05-24-00, Microcode Solutions
gave Fusion PC license to Emulators, Inc. to have more free developer recources,
and more fund available.

New AmiTradeCenter Beta Available
Once again it happend, a new beta version for the FTP-client AmiTradeCenter was released.
05.09.2000 public beta
- Added a "t" to one of the "direcory" strings which was missing.
[ExoBuZz]
- Fixed a bug when pressing the local "parent" button while connecting
which caused garbage in the local string gadget.
[ExoBuZz]
- After a transfer the transferred file, bytes, filelength and the cps are
now displayed in the ftplog.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- Double entries in the .batchtmp are now filtered, so the list won't
replicate itself several times after several crashes.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- Reselection of files when revisitting a directory is now done by
comparing the filenames with the list instead of just selecting the files
by numbers, which could have led to wrong selected entries, when a
directory was reloaded after an upload.
[Roland "Ronni" Hopfer]
- The trader now won't try to reconnect to a server, when the servermanager
is quitted and therefore also all traders (depends on "auto reconnect" and
"closemethod of servermanager" settings).
- Loginwindow which is opened if neither the username or the password is
given didn't work. Fixed.

Haage & Partner News
H&P increases personnel
In October of the past year, we already hired a new programmer, namely
Markus Poellmann. He mainly cares for StormC, and also works on
AmigaWriter. At the beginning of 2000, a new co-worker was found, Ute
Gottschalk, who takes care of accounting and datatyping. Stefan Robel has
just finished a practical period for his computer studies, in which he
created a new and portable version of StormRexx. At the beginning of
September, Alexander Bramm and Simon Neumann brought two new co-workers.
Their main concern is support, and managing of new projects.
Further co-workers wanted.
For proof-reading of our website texts, press releases and manuals we are
looking for an additional English native speaker. A good knowledge of
English grammer etc. is essential.

This all is to find big and not ot overlook pivotal on the front page citing Joerg Tauss, MdB (member of the
Bundestag) contra, and Dai Rees pro SWPAT.
Additional a big picture along with the subtitle "The [EPA] in Munich denys any private financial interest [...]"
At the left another contra SWPAT

AmigaMPEGPlayer is now up to 25% faster (!) than the initial version, and has got a file-requestor in addition, too.
writepixel was completely overworked, is now definite faster than previeous versions, and has got a scalable window.
Furthermore the colour fade now changes corresponding to mouse position and time.

clickBOOM: Nightlong
Nightlong has been enabled by Trecision, which means the betatests have passed positively. Now only the CDs, and
packings are to be produced, and then the game will be available soon.
Nightlong is a graphically costly point-and-click game which at first was published by Team 17 for the PC,
and became a big success. The background of the game is a conspiracy anno 2099 which the player has
to clear up.

home user but for business user and customers of companies. Nevertheless we have had a look at the
