Back to the Roots - update
Today we present you after a long time an update of Back to the Roots. The last
months were very stressful for us.
There are some new legal games for download at BTTR. One of the new companies
supporting us is Vivid Image and they have produced the classic game "The First Samurai".
But more interesting should be the cooperation with Vulcan Software for you. Every
month Vulcan Software will present one of their games of their mini series for
download. The debut game of Vulcan Software "Valhalla and the Lord of Infinity"
will be the first one. Also there are many new games, demos, pics, and new mods.
Have fun!.
Remark:
I know some of the Amiga users are wondering about the ADF-format of our games.
For those who do not know there is a little tool named "TransADF" that you can
use to rewrite the games onto a disk like with DMS. Through a Aminet-gateway you
can reach the Aminet via BTTR. This gateway is not only a gateway it offers also
some special features like for example a forum function so you can discuss about
every single file on the Aminet.

Opinions on the SDK's VP from J.Wiede
J. Wiede has dealed with the VP from the point of view of a developer of drivers in particular and gives a very discerning
opinion on the VP in the above usenet posting.
04 Jul 2000, Addition:
Andreas Kleinert and Olaf Barthel informed us about a surely interesting
background of this: the author of this 'somewhat discerning'
article about the AmigaSDK is a former employee of Commodore, who in
those days operated at CATS for the Tech Support. His entire name is
"John Wiederhirn". One shoul be aware of this backround while reading
his articles in this discussion.

Heise: LinuxTag: Corel releases CorelDraw for Linux
"Corel, Canadian graphics software specialist turned Linux distributor, is sometimes
good for a surprise other than bad sales reports. On the LinuxTag, Corel already
presented its Linux graphics suite CorelDraw 9 (booth 5.1.1.9). While it was previously
said the package will probably be released in autumn, Friday night the Corel HQ in
Canada gave it's OK: CorelDraw 9 for Linux is now released, and will hit the shelves
in two to three weeks, however not for free. The image processor Photo-Paint, on
the other hand, is already free for download."

Chrystal Interactive Software News - Part 1
Part 2
Michael Carrillo has visited C.I.S. and wrote a summary report with added screenshots,
with news e.g. on the adventure games "Gilbert Goodmate" and "Mushroom of Phangoria".
Thomas Lorenz: It should be noted that Crystal
will only port Gilbert Goodmate to the Amiga if their second project "Dark Millenia" is sold
at least 1000 times (or at least 1000 people state their interest, e.g. by
e-mail). It is also mentioned that a
"desaster" as with FusionPPC can hopefully be avoided!
The current demo on Michael's website "Amiga
Rediscovery" is "Hired Guns".

New ppclibemu
ppclibemu is an emulation of the ppc.library and the PowerUP kernel under WarpOS.
An own ELF LoadSeg patch is included, and allows many (some?) PowerUP-applications
to run just like in the original environment. Those apps that run show no feelable
speed penalty. Some are even faster than with the original kernel.
New in v0.8: PortLists, PPCFindTask, PPCFindTaskObject, PPCSignalTask, PPCDeleteTask.
Please try which of the two runs better with installed PowerUP software, A or B?
Download:
ppclibemuA.lzx -
ppclibemu A v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)
ppclibemuB.lzx -
ppclibemu B v0.8 (30.06.00), latest version (libs only)

Update of the homepage, and new domain names
Not only the design has changed - our domain has changed, too. The old domain name
www.amigadev.de will be transferred to Amiga Inc. in the next couple of days.
We decided to take this step because the domains amigadev.COM and amigadev.NET were
already owned by Amiga Inc., and we therefore confused some users, who of course thought
that amigadev.DE would be the German counterpart to amigadev.COM. To put an end to this
confusion, and to give Amiga Inc. the opportunity to create German pages under amigadev.DE,
some days ago we ordered our web hoster to transfer the domain name to Amiga Inc.
Our new domain names are now:
www.highantdev.de and
www.highantdev.com.
The .DE domain will lead you to the German pages, and the .COM domain to the English ones.
Since the English pages are not yet finished, both domains lead you to German pages for the
time being.
