AFD-Copyright News
The AFD-COPYRIGHT Official Support Site had just today its
1000th visitor! This shows that there still is interest in the
"Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note".
The recent visitor boom happened partly due to the fact that
so many Amiga News sites reported about the latest release.
Thanks to all news-webmasters for your support!
I collected some of the sites on the page "What's New?"
If you are interested, you can visit the AFD-Homepage at:
http://AFD.home.pages.de/ (title link).
The list of news sites even includes one in Russia - and a Russian
translation will be released as the 15th language soon! Keep the
momentum going! Thanks!

MorphOS status
After MorphOS got attention by small pictures on their homepage (AmigaNews reported), there is now
a small status report on the project itself:
We are currently working on rewriting as many elemental parts of the AmigaOS as possible directly in
PowerPC code. The tests of the 68k emulation have been finished already for some time, and it works
reliable with Workbench 3.1 and 3.5. CyberGraphX, the CS PPC SCSI driver, the CDrive CD-ROM file
system and other stuff has almost completely been ported natively, to achieve best possible performance
even on the current CS PPC card generation.
The ppc.library has also been completed in a full PowerPC version (means the former 68k part is native,
too), so direct compatibility to PowerUP software is ensured, and available software is working directly
without special MorphOS adjustments. For software adhering to the original PowerUP specs there
shouldn't be a problem at all.
Since everything is running directly on the PowerPC CPU, the infamous CPU context switches for 68k
AmigaOS are removed, so PowerUP software is frequently running faster. Programs with many I/O
accesses or graphics output via AmigaOS can profit from this.
We are just now testing several PowerUP software products, and will soon publish a guideline as
well as a list of successfully tested software, so PowerUP software can employed under MorphOS
without problems.
We are working on a developer release; due to several hardware defects, the release date was
sadly delayed.

Working title: "Audiomaster 2000"
Frank Fenn (Bright Light Software) writes:
We (Michael Ulbrich and myself) have taken on the sources of AudioStream, which were released
on Aminet. The goal is to create an easy-to-use, not too complex sample tool in the style of the
classic Audiomaster IV. We consciously don't implement special functions like 2D/3D spectrograms,
since they are of little use for the home user.
Some features are (or are planned):
- Loader: AIFF, WAV, MAUD, 8SVX, RAW, CDDA, MP3, MOD (converting
modules to samples) (plugin concept)
- Saver: AIFF, WAV, RAW, MP3 (plugin concept)
- Clipboard/Range: Cut, Paste, Delete, Clear, Reverse, support for HD projects
- Audio In/Out: AHI only, no native Amiga audio support (what for)
As soon as the first public version is finished, it will be offered for download on the homepage
above (title link). Of course we gladly accept suggestions.

CGXBlanker, DPMSManager update
Stefan Robl writes:
I integrated numerous user wishes in both programs. CGXBlanker
version 1.25 now has an ARexx port, another very nice blanker module, does not get confused
by windows or screens popping up, and can optionally suppress blanking when the mouse
pointer is on the title bar.

Applefritter: AmigaOS as POP (PowerPC Open Platform)
Applefritter writes: Still no definitive words from Amiga, but chances
are good that AmigaOS will be ported to PowerPC Open Platform.
Nobody knows precise details :-(. Sadly. To me it currently seems
to be the other way round. What I read from the last statements and
interviews with Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss is that they want to
concentrate fully on TAO and their OS and do not plan to support the PPC.
Haage & Partner maintain silence in this matter. (ps)
