MicroServ.org: Online again!
Sadly, we were forced offline for some days due to water damage. Now, the
phone company has installed a new cable, and everything is online again.
We want to say sorry for any harassment this has caused to you, but we couldn't
do anything about this. Since everything has been started up again, we want to
ask all users to check their accounts and passwords, and report any inconsistencies.

AmigaTools.net News
http://www.amigatools.net has been completely updated on Thursday (e.g. now
including HTML4.0 check). All download files have been retranslated and
re-uploaded last week; partly because the gateway.library has been changed,
and some basic changes have been applied to the libraries and libs.
Today, two uploads have been added:
- VersCheck V2 has been updated (primarily changes to MUI due to the
many changes by VAPOR).
- VersCheck V3 beta is now on the download area. BETA means an incomplete
and buggy version.
If you want to, you can download the version and test it. Since some issues
are already known, and it makes the coordination easier, I created a mailing
list for all beta testers. So if you want to test, too, you should contact
me to get yourself added to the list. Wanted: Testers with Amiga clones
and emulators.

Digital Almanac III Brainstorming
If you are interested in the astronomy software Digital Almanac (DA), you can get the
latest development status about DA III (PPC) from the author's homepage. The most
important changes and improvements are presented there.
Moreover, the author is looking for reliable and determined beta testers and users
of DA II with good ideas that could be implemented in DA III. Right now, only the 68k
version is worked upon.
- Requirements are (68k):
- a well equipped Amiga (68040/40 or 68060/50, OS 3.5, 32 MB)
- registered (!) MUI user
- basic knowledge of astronomy and astronomic terms
- programming experience in C (C++) and mathematic knowledge is advantegous
Apply by e-mail, stating knowledge and hardware.
As a reward, the software itself is free. A first (German) beta version for 68k will
probably be available by the end of April. Right now, only an English localisation
is planned. The time schedule for the PPC version is depending on DCE, so no dates
for this.

Forming a professional / commercial development team to work on AROS
My boss, Mr. Yourievski from the Sowatec AG has offered us a once-in-a-lifetime
chance: If enough people apply for working full time (incl. getting payed real
money :-) on AROS here in Switzerland, he will have a really good look at this
business opportunity. If he can see a way to make money with it, he will handle
everything necessary to get us going at full steam :-)
So if you think you're worthy ;-) and you can move (or already life) in Switzerland, send your resumee to:
Sowatec AG
Witzbergstrasse 7
8330 Pfäffikon
Switzerland
or by EMail to yourievsky@sowatec.com
If you cannot move to Switzerland, then send your resmuee, anyway. Just note
that we need at least 5 developers here; when we reach that, then the rest can probably live anywhere :-)
Also note that this would greatly enhance our relationship with Amiga Inc
(because then, they would have a professional partner instead of a bunch of
hobby developers working on their spare time).
Please bother him only if you're interested in working full time on AROS.
All other inquiries should go to me
digulla@sowatec.com directly.
Thanks,
Dipl. Inf. (FH) Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla

Amiga 4ever issue 15 released!
Numen writes:
Howdy!
At last, though a little later than planned, issue 15 of Amiga 4ever is available at our homepage following the
title link. There are recent news, soft and hardware reviews (ImageFX, AmiAtlas 5, AliBaba, several Modems...)
as well as the Heavy Metal Corner, scene demos and an interview with Sylvio Kurze of Deep Silence, among
others. Furthermore Amiga Aktuell issues 2/00 and 3/00 are included as guide versions. It's sure worth taking
a look at it. Receiving it by e-mail is also possible. Simply send an e-mail to
Numen@Helimail.de with "A4ever 15" as subject.

"Amiga-CEO Bill McEwen announced a new system for the 1st of april. The new Amiga is still at developing
status but nonetheless so much evolved that a system will be played in a lottery at the Amiga 2000 conference in St. Louis.
Amiga also plans to reveal the precursor of a new operating system, which has been developed together with
Tao-Group and based on the Tao-OS Elate, at the Amiga 2000 in St. Louis. A cooperation with Epic and
Hyperion should bring new games to the Amiga."
