AmIDE Beta version 0.2b released
The first public beta version of AmIDE has been released. AmIDE is a so-called
"Integrated Development Environment", helping you in maintaining, editing and
compiling your projects. The MUI graphical interface is used for this. In the
current beta, AmIDE supports the SAS/C compiler, but in the final version, other
compilers like Storm-C or vbcc will also be supported.
With AmIDE it is possible to work on several projects simultaneously, and compile
them parallel. AmIDE is written completely object oriented, ensuring a high level
of flexibility and expandability. In the future, more user requests will be
implemented, and more compilers supported.
Wim AmIDE, the author hopes to finally bring a decent developer environment to the
Amiga which can compete with other IDEs like KDevelop for KDE. A direct editor
support for GoldED will also be implemented in the next version. Jens Langner
will probably present AmIDE on the Amiga-Atari show in Neuss, Germany, on June
10th / 11th.

akDatatypes for MorphOS
Special versions of the akDatatypes are planned for
MorphOS. From a developer point of view,
MorphOS is an excellent platform for future Amiga PPC applications. Since
registrations have decreased by 80%, but PPC apps make up 90% of all registrations,
focussing completely on MorphOS seems likely - as a last-ditch attempt to give
an impulse to the remaining market.
Added afterwards:
As a small addition to my recent MorphOS statement - which might
have been misleading in that point - I'd like to add the following:
although special akDatatype versions for MorphOS are planned,
already the current PPC datatypes (and most likely all other of my PPC
applications, although not yet tested entirely) will run without
any modifications. The special MorphOS versions just are for
gaining extra speed and dropping old 68k/WOS/PPC ballast overboard.

hardhacks.de
In the meantime, much has changed at AmigaHardHacks! We created a new domain at www.hardhacks.de,
because we will now also support other systems like Linux, Macintosh and Newton. The design was
changed completely to speed up loading.
But there is much to do! So we are looking for people who have the time and motivation to participate
in creating hardhacks.de! If you are interested, send an e-mail to:
rene.koenig@hardhacks.de. We also welcome suggestions
for improvement!

HydraBBS
|
HydraBBS Source Code available
The source code for HydraBBS is now available for download. The author, Dominic Clifton, gives
permission to continue developing the program, but you must not charge a fee for it. However he
contradicts himself in saying also that he wants a full version if parts of his program are used
in commercial or shareware products. This seems to be more a basis for talks... ;-)
Supplement 13.04.2000:
In the Amiga News Forum, Dominic Clifton clarified the conditions for using the HydraBBS source code:
If you want to continue development of HydraBBS, you should present the version to Dominic prior to release, if possible. You must not sell the product.
If you use parts of HydraBBS in your own program, or use the source code as a basis for own ideas for other BBS programs, Dominic recieves a full version of that program. (Translation: mb)
