REBOL: REBOL/View V1.2.1
REBOL/View 1.2.1 has been released on June 22, 2001. It is recommended that you
upgrade your copy of REBOL/View and View/Pro to this new version.
Among other things has a security bug been fixed in this version. This
release also introduces REBOL/View for the Macintosh. This is a
significant accomplishment.
The following has been changed compared with the previous version:
- Bugfix: Icon DRAW evaluation bug that allowed foreign code to be executed
at the desktop level. That problem has been eliminated.
(Note that this bug did NOT compromise REBOL's built-in sandbox
file protection, as that protection still remained in effect at the
REBOL/View root directory level. Files outside of REBOL's directory
tree were safe.) DRAW is no longer allowed within desktop icons.
- Bugfix: The HTTP POST operation has been fixed to properly ignore line
termination in the transfer. You no longer need to pad out your
HTTP uploads. (This is for read/custom http://... [post "data"]).
- Bugfix: Bugs that caused load/markup and debase to crash in rare cases
have also been fixed.
The current version for different systems can be found in the download area of rebol.com.

Benelux Amiga Show: first report (update 3)
Otis from the Amiga User Club Bremen has
just given us first details about the show by phone. First of all it has to be
said that the dance school where the event is taking place is overcrowded as many,
many visitors have come. For the promoters of the show in any case a big success.
The event is taking place on two floors with the exhibitors being downstairs and
the LAN party happening upstairs.
During the call I had the opportunity to talk to Martin Schüler from ESCENA who's working on the design of the AmigaOne board by Eyetech. The
AmigaOne board is presented as prototype in second revision. The board isn't
working yet. For now they continue step by step and every step done until now
has worked without any problems. He'll try to give us more technical information during
the day via email.
Supplement:
I just had again the chance to talk to Thomas from the AUC-HB, who gave us more
impressions via telephone about the show. Those will be posted here as short
notes as there'll be a full report done by the AUCB following tomorrow:
Petro Tyschtschenko hold the opening speech.
Interesting was the presentation of the PCI board Prometheus by Matay on which a Voodoo3000 graphics board was
running. A version of the game ´Heretic II´ running on this board was shown
so everyone could convince himself of the board's quality.
Fleecy Moss of Amiga Inc. presented the SDK (Software Developer Kit) and was at
disposal to answer questions. On this occasion the AmigaOS 5.0 planned for the year 2003 was mentioned.
On a Q&A round Fleecy Moss, Alan Redhouse, Martin Schüler and Jürgen
Haage answered to the questions of the visitors.
Supplement 2:
At Fun Time World you find some photos
of the show, and a comprehensive report will follow.
Supplement 3:
Here's the full report of
Fun Time World. (ps)

Amiga Arena News
Amiga Arena special discount campaign
In co-operation with Andre Beer the Amiga Arena makes a special price for GeoWorld possible. GeoWorld is the only geography program for the Amiga that is still
in development. Please visit for further information the GeoWorld homepage.
Amiga Arena - GeoWorld call
GeoWorld is one of the very few programs that stand out against the usual Amiga
software. The developers have collected a huge amount of information and data to
make GeoWorld as comprehensive as possible. Despite this such a program
"lives" of its up-to-date data.
To make faster updates possible and offer furtheron an allround program the
developers need your help. The following tasks are available:
- Continuing the recollection of the nature data of the countries.
- A co-operation on the information data of GeoWorld would therefore need an
intellectual reception of the source texts made available (scanned
encyclopedia pages, html/text files taken from the internet, partly in
English) and put them into corresponding texts (e.g. description of a country's nature).
A free full version will of course be made available. Further fees -
participation in sales returns - for appropriate extensive co-operation are
possible but don't expect any wonders. People with interest may please mail to: Andre Beer.
Amiga Arena remark by Olaf Köbnik
Surely many of you wonder why this all?
Sources for information are offered by the internet, and many programs for the PC
do so, too. But I belong to the little number of Amiga users who are "Amiga
only", and I personally think it is very valuable that such programs will be
developed on the Amiga in the future. Additionally it is much more fun for me to
use information sources on the Amiga. I can only ask you to support programs
like AmiAtlas and Geoworld with feedback etc.! (ps)

Matay news
Warp3D Treiber for Voodoo3
Matay informs that the promised Warp3D drivers for Voodoo3 graphics cards on the
PCI board Prometheus are in the works and has put some screenshots online.
PPC for Prometheus
As many people ask about CPU boards for the PCI board Prometheus, Matay
gives the following statement:
- Matay is not going to produce the PPC card by itself. We will choose
among the CPU solutions available at the market (not necessarily
"Amiga native" only). It would take too much time and concern to
produce such a card, time we can spend providing you with other
Amiga-specifict products. Why to invent wheel again?
- The only problem to solve is software support to make the hardware
cooperate with our PCI bridge. However, with the help of AmigaOS4
developers from Amiga Inc. it is not a problem at all. We will
cooperate with them to make Prometheus+CPU card combo 100% compatible
with the upcoming AmigaOS.
- We are not limiting our support to one CPU card only. You should view
a CPU card expansion the same as - for example - a graphics card expansion.
More than one solution is possible.
- The details will be announced after we finish talks with the CPU cards
manufacturers. As we always state - no promises, only facts, so please
be patient. In meanwhile, you can use Prometheus boards with the
existing Amiga CPU cards. The software, i.e. AmigaOS4, will arrive later
this year, so will our hardware to run it on.
Vacation time
Because of vacation time, the phone number +48 609394778 and the e-mail address
fei@matay.pl won't be available from June 22nd to July 9th, 2001 and from July 21st
to September 6th, 2001. Contact Matay during these times at +48 603785100
and info@matay.pl instead.

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena full version: Offensive COLOURS
With permission of Carsten Magerkurth and Andreas Magerl, Amiga Arena
makes the release of Offensive COLOURS possible! Offensive COLOURS
is the exciting synthesis of Tetris and breakout.
You steer a spaceship in the center of the screen; colored blocks grow out of
the screen borders towards you. To stop them, you are armed with a colored
disc with which you can shoot at the blocks.
Should the color of the disc match that of the shot block, your score increases
and the block vanishes. If not, the disc will be thrown back to you and the
colors of block and disc will be exchanged. The new color of the disc then maybe
allows the elimination of another block.
If your disc hits a row of blocks that have the same color, the entire row vanishes.
The first block scores the usual points, any further two times the usual points.
The game ends when the blocks have reached you.
Amiga Arena download: Renegarde
With permission of Wayne Ashworth, the action game "Renegarde" is available for
download. It is a freeware game. "Renegarde" is an "Alien Breed" clone for two
players, fun and the inspired design speak for themselves. (ps)

Java on handheld devices - in vogue
Should somebody still question whether it makes any sense to work in the embedded
market with Java - SaveJe brings Java2SE to the ARM/XScale processor.
Planned release of version 1.0 is in september.
This means that who's interested in programming for handheld devices should take
Java into consideration. It also means that Amiga Inc. has to hurry. (Solar)

CD32 Install Kit for Windows
As some emulation sites already posted this news, here's the official announcement
for the Windows version of my CD32 Games Install Kit: It will work in connection with
WinUAE and it will be available quite soon.
The compatibility is very high because every game uses custom patches
(just like in the Amiga version). Additionally you
won't have to install the game, you can run it right from the CD although in some
cases some files have to be copied (which need to be patched). CD audio support is
not supported yet but will be added for sure later. The first version of the CD32
Games Install Kit 4.5 (Win32 1.0) can be expected in one week. But currently it will
be only available for owners of the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM.
There are some screenshots of the Windows version available at the Airsoft Softwair homepage.

Chip: Amiga: New computer and software
»With AmigaOS 4.0 and the computer AmigaOne PPC 1200, a myth will be brought
back to life within the next weeks. This was announced by Bill McEwen, CEO of Amiga,
on Thursday. The owner of the Amiga trademark warned in a press release of an
abuse of the name of the once popular home computer. According to information from
McEwen there's besides the American company headquarter only one more office in Braunschweig.«

Amiga.org: problems with PHP-Nuke
Eight months ago, Amiga.org has changed the entire site to PHP-Nuke, an
all-in-one portal package. The portal offers all required functions,
including news, forums and comments.
According to Amiga.org, PHP-Nuke got instable under heavy load which
lead to frequent breakdowns. Wayne Hunt will now rebuild the entire
website and asks for comments or suggestions to
wayne@amiga.org. Especially the
news have highest priority.

AMIGA Inc.: News from CEO Bill McEwen (Executive Update)
Greetings To The Amiga Family:
There have been some recent mis-representations that I have recently
received about Amiga, Inc., and our office locations. Amiga is doing very
well, and we are excited about the future of Amiga. The Amiga Family
continues to grow with new partners, new products, and the very near release
of AmigaDE 1.0.
However with all of this activity there have been some out there who have
recently sent out false information about Amiga, and I need to clarify this
now.
Amiga Incorporated is headquartered in Snoqualmie, Washington USA.
Amiga Deutschland is still in business. We have only closed the Langen
office. There are going to be some new additions, and a new office location
announced in the next couple of weeks, but know now that Amiga International
was a Gateway company, and was not and has not been associated with Amiga,
Inc. since 1999. The dealer in Germany that is making claims that they are
Amiga International is completely false, and Amiga Incorporated the parent
company of Amiga Deutschland is going to take legal action against those who
make these false claims.
There is another dealer in India who has started claiming that they are
Amiga in India. This again is also false. Amiga does NOT have any official
representation in India outside of the Amiga dealers who are there. Amiga
Incorporated is currently evaluating an office in India, and other countries
where we do business.
To those of you who continue to try and tear Amiga apart, it is time to
stop. Amiga is moving forward, there are great things ahead, and for the
first time in many years, the Amiga family will have new products, and
choices.
I look forward to a great year.
Kindest regards,
Bill McEwen

de Volkskrant: "Tulip" reviving the Commodore brand?
It's been reported in a Dutch national newspaper that computer company
Tulip intend to bring the Commodore
brand back to life in some capacity. Tulip spokesman J. van den Berg
claims the company is simply responding to customer calls for Commodore.
Whether this means some real Commodore hardware is on its way or all it
is is simply a line of PCs with the Commodore logo slapped on the outside
is still unclear, but Dutch readers will no doubt find
this article
very interesting...!

A Dutch radio station announced to create an Amiga special on the Show.
VPRO-TV - Amiga Special
The editor board of the TV station VPRO-TV took the task to create an Amiga
special. To make that reality they even will travel to the U.S.A. and also the European

File manager: Directory Opus 6 released
As already reported, yesterday, in the article
File manager: DirOpus V4.15m Beta
the PC version Directory Opus 6 was released at
GP Software.
While rummaging in the Aminet uploads I stumbled upon the following text inside the
DOpus6 readme file (title link):
"ALL REGISTERED USERS OF DIRECTORY OPUS 5 FOR THE AMIGA ARE ENTITLED TO A
25% CROSSGRADE DISCOUNT ON THE PURCHASE PRICE."
This is interesting for Amiga users using a PC, too, and not wanting to miss
their favourite file manager. The 30-days-PC-test-version is available e.g.
here (DOpusInstall.exe).

Golem: Transmeta sales decreasing drastically
»Orders from Japan decreasing
The still fresh processor developer Transmeta now also warns of intelligibly lower
sales in 2Q01. For a reason they mention the bad economical situation which now
spreads to Japan, too - Japan is Transmeta's biggest market place.
Though additional manufacturers to produce their own chips could have been
gained, orders from Japanese Notebook manufacturers are significant low.
Therefore Transmeta adjust their sales expectancy to 40% - 45% below sales
in 1Q01 (18.6 millions USD).«

As already announced several times the Benelux Amiga Show in connection
with a LAN-party will take place on 23th of June in 2001 in Rotterdam
which are organized by the Dutch print magazine called ´Amiga
Scene´ and the trader ´Computer City´.
Premiere
In addition to the already mentioned highlights Hyperion will publicly
demonstrate the Warp3D on a Prometheus PCI-Board with Voodoo3 graphic
board for the first time. Ben Hermans, Hans-Jörg and Thomas Frieden
and Timothy de Groote are pesent.
TV
A Dutch television station will make recordings of the show and will
broadcast it in the programme '7 dagen' ('7 days'). The broadcast
will show people who keep their proper distance to Microsoft and
rather do not want something to do with it. You could not describe
the Amiga community in a better way, could you? :) (ps)

Releasedate: 19. June 2001
Programmer: Zbigniew Trzcionkowski
Required: Amiga with OS 2.04+ (xvs.library strongly recommended)
News in v15.9:
- Added BOBEK2 linkvirus (memory removal and XFD slave to see it in files with VirusZ).
This one was very difficult to handle in memory. File detection is very easy and
shouldn't generate any false positives.
- Kicked out TCPPATCH/S parameter in order to make place for code that kills BOBEK2 in memory.

Asyncio.library (68k+WarpOS) update
There's a new update for the asyncio.library with WarpOS support (V40.6).
Sadly the last version had the same problems in PPC writing mode than
before. This update fixes these problems so that there shouldn't be any
more lock-ups on writing with PPC.
If there shouldn't be any problems with it, this will be the last version
since there'll be no more optimizations by me that could make the
library more efficient.

EETimes: Startup says software translates binary code on the fly
The article, published in EETimes, deals with the announcement of an american startup. A short extract:
»LONDON - A spin-off from the University of Manchester, Transitive
Technologies Ltd., is planning to wow engineers at the Embedded Processor
Forum this week in San Jose, Calif., with its dynamic binary-translation
technology.
The San Diego company claims its Dynamite software can take binary code
ready to run on one type of processor and, on the fly, translate it into
the binary code required by another. Transitive also says that because
of optimizing routines within its software, the translated code usually
runs faster and more efficiently than the original native code.
If these claims are substantiated, Transitive could spark dramatic changes
in the way processor hardware is designed and deployed by ending the
architecture-loyalty and legacy-code issues that have dominated for the
last 20 years.«

Event: iBox at Benelux Amiga Show (update)
Beside the already reported VIP's and highlights the new IBOX will be presented.
The IBOX is some kind of special tower containing beside the normal PC-hardware an Amiga-mainboard, a modem, and some additional hardware. The PC is able to control and update Amiga-software like Scala/Mediapoint by using a special software. The IBOX is doing what the Amiga does best: loop playback. By using the PC-software everyone can use every possibility offered in the digitalmarket like webcams and digitalcameras.
This concept is currently used by many customers for example for sportbars and tourist information centers. The concept includes the possibility of updating hundrets of these boxes by pressing one button. Even a cellphone with wap-capabilities is able to start this process. A good example for the co-operation of Amiga and PC.
The concept and the IBOX were developed by www.oto-foto.nl and
www.digitalconsult.nl.
Error correction, 19 June 2001:
I misunderstood one item of Marvin's description of the iBox (Info-Box). Contrary to what is described there is no
PC hardware used in the box. It rather is fact that the customers create the info pages on common PC machines
and then those pages will be translated to Amiga language by a 'translator' which makes it possible to use
Amiga hardware in the box.
A text can be sent to the Amiga using a cell phone which then will be displayed as desired due to the background, logo,
and animation preset.

AROS News
During the weekend, the AROS server was down due to a hardware failure.
The machine will be replaced within the next few weeks :-) Until then,
you can expect the machine to fail again. We are aware of this and we're
working on it. No need to worry.

The support and development of AmBoS, a Amiga-Mailboxprogram, will be discontinued on the 01.07.2001. The service ExecBase will be discontinued at this day to.
Reasons for this decision: low user-interest, the success of the WWW and problems with the timeconsuming support and softwaredevelopment.

Amiga: SCSI Driver for AmigaOS4
The AmigaOne specification contain an on-board IDE controller, but
much of the Amiga users use SCSI hardware (harddrives, CD drives, scanners).
That's why Amiga Inc.plans to develop a SCSI driver for the "NCR SCSI scripts chip"
for Amiga OS4.x (today, NCR is a subsidiary company of LSI Logic).
An internal document describing the reasons why these chips have been chosen was
published on the AmigaOne mailing list (title link). The same chip was utilized
in diverse Amiga products (e.g. in newer Phase5 acceleration cards).
These chips are to be of first class at Amiga Inc. at this time, but this decision
might change if a better solution would turn out.

Warp3D: Voodoo Driver Status
Amiga Extreme has published an e-mail by Thomas Frieden (Hyperion) in which he
reports the current status of the Voodoo driver for Warp3D.
The Warp3D team converted almost everything relating the use of the FIFO command.
As the team was suggested the frame-rate now majorly is independent from the resolution.
The speed at 800x600 is exactly the same as at 320x200.
Heretic 2 is still playable at 1024x768, but the Voodoo card starts to slow down from
this resolution.
Moreover the Voodoo version looks much better than the Permedia version.
(Screenshots (left: Permedia2, right: Voodoo)).
At this time it seems like the Prometheus version of the driver would be finished first.
This might happen next week already. The G-REX and hopefully the Mediator version, too,
will follow soon after.
The Prometheus driver will be the first because of the G-REX prototype had a little
problem preventing FIFO from working. So, development was done on the Prometheus board.
Development of Warp3D now is done using the new gcc basing StormC 4 which creates fine code, already.
Additionally it enables the use of Inline assembler. By some PPC assembler optimizations the Warp3D
team now can almost fill up the bus with data to almost reach the maximum performance.
Supplement 17 June 2001:
Ben Yoris (Hyperion) wrote on
ANN that
Hyperion will do a presentation of their own games on the Prometheus PCI board with
a Voodoo3 plugged in on the Benelux Amiga Show, which will take place on June 23rd, 2001.

MUI: NList.mcc V19.99 and V19.100
Under the title link you will find the long awaited bugfix for NList.mcc
fixing the wordwrap problem.
There are also new betas with noticeable higher speed to find there.
Especially inserting/removing of a lot of entries at once takes much time
in the list-view of NList.
That's why save and management routines were optimized. With some of the
operations NList now is up to 3.5 times faster than the old version.
Even the origin must surrender for some items (factor 1.2 - 1.3). But to
compare directly is not quite fair, since NList offers a lot of features more
and therefore has to calculate more, sometimes.
Furthermore NListtree of course benefits from the new performance.

Amiga Inc. and Matay announce Cooperation for AmigaOS/4
Amiga and Matay Announce AmigaOS/4 Cooperative
Snoqualmie, 16 June, 2001 - Amiga Inc and Matay company are pleased to
announce they are co-operating on a series of initiatives that will see the
AmigaOS4 family of operating systems running on Matay's existing and future
products.
At the St Louis show in April, Amiga announced the continued development of
AmigaOS, with AmigaOS4 moving AmigaOS3 to modern hardware and preparing the
way for AmigaOS5. AmigaOS5 will be targeted at both the home server and the
desktop/workstation markets.
"In developing AmigaOS4.0, we have been making extensive use of the
Prometheus PCI bridge board, to get a head start on developing drivers for
the various sub systems whilst we wait for the Eyetech AmigaOne to be
completed," said Fleecy Moss, CTO of Amiga Inc. "The quality of both their
product and support, and their commitment to the future of the Amiga has
made working with them a pleasure, and we look forward to this co-operation
intensifying over the next few years."
"We are very excited to work with Amiga Inc., the company that leads our
community into the new technological revolution. In the incoming years, we
will witness a breakthrough in digital home appliances, a trend to abandon a
single computer workstation in favour of several smaller, yet more
user-friendly devices. The revolution is coming, though we need to prepare
for it, like the Amiga market needs transition from our classic computers to
new technologies and standards. Amiga Inc. is the company that foresees
these trends and enters the digital future today. We are proud that our
Prometheus board, the first Zorro III PCI bridge for Amiga, helps them in
making these plans come true," said Filip Dab- Mirowski, CEO of Matay
company. "We will continue co-operation with Amiga Inc., not only providing
them with hardware solutions for today Amiga market but also working
together on products for the future digital market."
About Amiga:

revolutionised computing in 1984 with the introduction of the A1000, and has
consistently been at the cutting edge of the digital revolution ever since.
Currently it offers a complete solution for digital living, the AmigaDE
(Digital Environment) which provide a device and OS (host) agnostic,
universal, scalable content platform for OEMs and IHVs, consumers, producers
and brokers of digital content, and the AmigaOS, a 68k and PPC based
desktop, workstation and digital server platform for the most demanding of
activities. The AmigaDE is currently being deployed on a variety of major
cell phone, PDA, Set Top Box, Console, Digital Appliance and existing

#AmigaFun: HBMonopoly online game
The #AmigaFun IRC channel on ie.altnet.org organizes and manages the second
official HBMonopoly game of this month. It will take place on June 16th starting
6:00 pm.
The programmer of HBMonopoly will participate as well. HBMonopoly 2.6 is required.
This version will be available from some people on the #AmigaFun channel should
it not already be on the homepage.
The server which have to be configured in HBMonopoly will be named on the #AmigaFun
channel. Important: you have to know how HBMonopoly works. We'll only explain how
to log in. We'll assume that you have played at least one, two times against the
computer.
In future we'll organize more HBMonopoly games. There's already a #AmigaFun-internal
highscore list which you can have a look at on the #AmigaFun homepage. It will also
contain the top 5 of all HBMonopoly games we'll organize in the future.
It is possible that after some games there'll be a surprise for the best gamer. The
first HBMonopoly game starts Saturday June 16th, 2001 at 6:00 pm. Please note that
Monopoly may take several hours, so you should have a full version of your TCP client
(Miami, Genesis).
You'll find our #AmigaFun channel as follows:
You need an IRC client. For the Amiga there are AmIRC (shareware), BlackIRC (freeware)
and EpicIRC (freeware). On our homepage, you'll find download links. You just have to
enter:
Server: ie.altnet.org
Port: 6667
Channel: #amigafun
Should the server be down you can get access through the following server:
12.30.169.83 (please enter without "irc.").
You can find more information, especially for IRC novices, on the #AmigaFun homepage.
On this occasion I'd like to say that the homepage was entirely redesigned. You
can choose between German and English language.

or GENERATION special. For novices and those interested in the demoscene
the magazine is recommended also. SCENET has the magazine available for
download since it's available nowhere else.

Music: DARKAGE releases fix for LEGALIZE IT 2
The group Darkage, known in the Amiga demo scene for their intros, demos
and their disk mag Showtime, released yesterday a fix for the music disk
"Legalise it". This music disk was originally released in the early nineties
by the lengendary group Anarchy.
The programmer Reinhold "Stingray" Kloth has reworked the entire sourcecode
and allows owners of modern Amigas to experience the feeling of the demo
scene from 1992. SCENET hosts also the sixteenth issue of the English disk
mag 'Showtime' which is available here.

RC5-64 contest: Half-time! (Update)
The Amiga RC5 team participates now for four years in this worldwide contest
to crack a 64 bit key. That requires calculating up to 18,4 trillion possible
keys. Half of the total key count has now been calculated. The Amiga RC5 team
did not get lucky after 1331 days, but are currently advancing 2,5 times
faster than the average for the first half, and chances of finding the key
before the whole keyspace is searched are progressively getting better and
better.
The Amiga RC5 team is on rank 7 of thousands of teams and has more than 2500
participants with more than 5000 computers. Read the entire
press release
for more details.

PC: ADF view
The ADF View is a Shell Namespace extension, which opens up the .ADF file
extension. ADF files are Amiga Disk Files, or image dumps of AmigaDOS
formatted disks. These files are used by most Commodore Amiga emulator
software.
Because ADF View is a namespace extension, it is integrated right into
the Windows Explorer. Double-clicking on an ADF file brings up the
familiar folder view, where you can copy, move, delete, recover and
rename files as you would usually do with normal PC files. You can
also drag'n'drop files from any Windows folder to an ADF folder, and
back.
ADF View works with Amiga floppy images and hard disk images. It even
detects Amiga hard drives attached to your computer and adds a new drive
icon to the "My Computer" folder under Windows NT/2000.
New and empty disk images can be created using a Wizard under the Shell
New commands (The File/New sub-menu in the Windows Explorer).

(New) informations on GREX 4000 and MicroServer
René Thol has received some interesting informations from DCE on the G-Rex 4000 board
and summarizes:
- the GREX 4000 is ready, they're waiting only for the boards from the manufacturer.
- the GREX 4000 replaces the the daughterboard (ISA-, ZIII- and videoslots) on the motherboard and is connected with the port for the CVPPC on the Cyberstorm board.
- the TV board drivers for the GREX are still in the works and are thus no longer mentioned in the GREX advertising since only finished drivers are advertised there.
- AGP extensions are not planned. The AGP slots of the AmigaOne will also work only through PCI with the resulting speed.
- The planned DCE Microserver will be plugged later in one of the PCI slots and features two SDRAM slots with 133 MHz bus speed. It can be used as busmaster and has access to the entire Amiga hardware. Sadly, a Cyberstorm board already working in the Amiga has still to be used
and its processors can not access the SDRAM (buswidth through PCI too narrow). Because of a CPU socket, more current CPUs than the G3/G4 can be used later. Existing PPC applications won't run immediately on the new CPUs (due to addressing and such) but have to be be adapted through (minor) changes in the sourcecode and a special library.

Heise: mp3PRO: MP3 Successor joining the Race
»Since today, 14th June, the first official demo version of the designated
MP3 successor mp3PRO is available for free download on Coding Technologies' website.
The "RCA Demo mp3PRO Player/Encoder 1.0" plays Mp3(PRO) files as well as wav-files.
The latter can also be converted to the new mp3PRO format at a non-varying bit-rate
of 64 kbit/s. The new and downwards compatible format augurs a substantial better
quality of sound at low bit-rates, due to "spectral band replication" (SBR).

Back to the Roots: Download Hours Fixed
BTTR downloads now disabled 2/3 of each day!
Our archive files will only be available for download from
06:10 to 13:10 GMT (may vary), but they should work at full
speed then. We are not happy about this, but unless we find
some sponsors, we have to prevent our archive from being closed
down by this action. If we find we can extend the times outward
more, we will.
The entire content of the site (except all downloads, full-size
pictures and the mod player) will continue to work the entire
day. The same applies to the Aminet downloads, as they are not
stored on these servers.
If you are willing to help us by either donating money to pay
parts of our traffic, by purchasing targeted advertising at our
site or by providing us a fast dedicated *nix server somewhere
else, please contact traffic@back2roots.org.
Several thousand people visit this site each day, and create
the enormous traffic together. Some download more, some download
less. It would be nice if a few of you could also help us to keep
this monster comfortable for people of all time zones.
Many of you have surely noticed that most of the gaming archive
sites were closed down recently. These sites all paid their
traffic by advertising. So did we. However, this does not work
for archive sites anymore, since advertising prices dropped
horribly worldwide.
We have several ideas in the queue to find an income to finance
this site for your convenience. Just none which will work fast
enough. So please also contact us if you want to provide temporary
help.
To all companies who have licensed games to be offered at our
site for free: BTTR will continue to be a non profit project,
and we did never earn a single pence with it, and we will
continue to do so.

New Screenshots of the AmigaDE GUI
Under the title link there is a posting by Fleecy Moss (AmigaOne mailing list) along
with several pictures attached to the mail.
Matt Chaput (together with other people) in deed has been authorized to design the new
GUI.
Fleecy explained that "of course these still are prototypes and eventually will be 'skinnable'
(configurable with skins). But the pictures should give a good impression of where things are
going".
Update: (08.08.2012, cg)
Added the two screenshots mockups that could still be found on the net. (ps)

Heise: "Trojan horse" disguise as folder
A new virus disguise as Windows-folder - while opening it shows a directory but in the background it installs a "Trojan horse".
[...]
The mail has the subject-line "Welcome you to" and it contains an attachment "iwantyou.exe".
[...]
In order to get rid of the virus you should delete the files "angel.exe" and "angel.dll" in the Windows/system-directory and reboot the computer.

In a comment (see title link) to the topic of ADSL Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computers told some interesting details to his driver for the network-card 'X-Surf' which is still in development.
"Currently there is a driver for the X-Surf in development with which you can implement PPPoE based DSL in each TCP/IP stack (also the "ordinary" Miami, Genesis and AmiTCP). Currently the driver is in the alpha-phase but will be adapted to each possible PPPoE-implementation".

Amiga Arena news
Amiga Arena full versions
With permission of Stefan Berge Amiga Arena publishes the full
version of "FileCutter". "FileCutter" enables you to divide
files of any size into as many pieces as you like.
Because of that it is possible to transport a 4 MB big file which you
cannot archive to spread on 5 disks (720 kb).
In the newest version it works with files which were divided by
NortonCommander on a PC. A great thanks to Andreas Magerl who placed
the full version at your disposal.
Amiga Arena pre-release
The popular Workbench-game "ArTKanoid" (breakout clone) of Thilo
Köhler is exclusively online in version 1.2 right before Aminet.
Amiga Arena updates
"Blade" which is an action-RPG-game of Mark Sheeky is ready for download
in the harddrive-version. Exclusively in the German version.
Amiga Arena - "The Boss": German catalog
The German locale for "The Boss" was created by Richard Kapp and is
in the archive.
Amiga Arena special price action
In co-operation with Nemeth Miklos Amiga Arena makes a special price
for "LangTools" possible. With "LangTools" you can translate texts.
You can easily load a text and simultaneously translate the text with
an editor.
You can choose between several languages and more will follow.
"LangTools" is already in development and author Nemeth is looking
forward to your feedback.
Amiga Arena interview action
At the same time an interview with Nemeth Miklos which is the developer
of "LangTools" went online. (ps)

Matt Chaputs notions to GUI-design for AmigaDE
Under the title link you can find a document called AmigaUI Look.
It was created by Matt Chaput which is the GlowIcon-designer. Looking at the first paragraph you can only suppose that Matt concerned with the GUI for AmigaDE at least in October 2000.
In section "Work" of his website you can also find the site Amiga GUIs which contains some screenshots of his notions:
Screen mock-up #1
Screen mock-up #2
Single window- and control elements
If Matt Chaput did it on behalf of Amiga Inc or just for fun and if he concerns with it today is unfortunately not known.

ASA - Amiga Software Archive (work in progress)
We will revive amiga-software.com on our server. Until its shutdown it
was a regularly used service with an easy and fast overview about the
latest Amiga software.
We want to continue this with the ASA (Amiga Software Archive). Users
and coders can present helpful programs, tools and utilities with a short
description. The visitor will get also information about system
requirements (CPU, memory, OS, PPC, ...) and of course the link for the
related homepage and email address of the author - every author can
change and delete his entry via ID and password at any time.
The coding of the system will be finished next week, so from then on
you can make entries into it.
We need the support of experienced users, who will offer up some of
their freetime for administration and control of the latest entries.
If you are interested, please send an email to us:
asa@synotec-newmedia.de.

News from Thorsten Willert
First you can get a fix of his HTML preprocessor extension in the GoldED WebWorld menu,
that you can use together with "CompressHTML".
Second he is looking for a new name for "CompressHTML", because the old name does not
fit anymore with the new functions.
Third the following of his AREXX programs are now public domain:
- Auto-Font-List
- FWTabTools
- FileInfo
- GH_Browser
- MakeSuffix
Because of lack of time Thorsten Willert can not develop them any further.
If you want to continue the development of these projects, he will give you
a helping hand to start.
Who wants to continue the AmigaOSGuide? It is an Amiga DOS manual, with dictionary.
State: OS 3.1. If you are interested, send an email to Thorsten Willert.

AMIGA celebrates First SDK anniversary with special offer (Executive Update)
Greetings to members of the Amiga Family:
Wow, what a year it has been!
In the coming weeks we are going to see the releases of not one
but three new Amiga Products!:
- AmigaOne PPC /1200 - On Schedule and Rockin'
- AmigaOS 4.0, and shortly thereafter AmigaOS 4.2 on schedule and will
offer the next generation of Amiga desktop - on PPC!
- AmigaDE 1.1 so the rest of the world may begin to learn the power of
Amiga - For Cell Phones, PDA's, and other portable devices.
Because of overwhelming e-mails and suggestions, Amiga Incorporated
is pleased to announce the AmigaOne, AmigaOS 4.0, 4.2, and AmigaDE
pre-release party pack!
Here is how you can participate with this party pack.
Starting June 11th and ending June 16th 2001 Amiga family members
can purchase a pre-release version of AmigaDE for $99.00 (US plus
tax and handling), you will receive one year of updates, the SDK,
a bundle of sample applications and games, and the ability to start
using DE on Windows or Linux desk tops.
Next you can pick from either a $100.00 (US) discount coupon on an AmigaOne
PPC/1200 for use at your local dealer, or you can receive BOTH AmigaOS 4.0
and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE!
That's right, for one week only purchase the pre-release of AmigaDE,
get the SDK, and all the trimmings and select either a $100.00 (US)
discount on a new AmigaONE, OR AmigaOS 4.0 and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE.
It's your choice, and it is available today at: AmigaMall
Sincerely,
Bill McEwen

Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library V33.25
The xvs.library (External Virus Support Library) has been updated today.
Alex van Niel has decided to stop programming the xvs.package but will
still update VirusChecker when he has the time. Alex got a new job that
takes almost all his time. At this time I got very cold feet... Where would
we find a new programmer that know something about viruses ? Or even
worth, should we stop "Virus Help Denmark", without programmers to
make antivirus programs, where would we be ??? And where would
YOU BE ???????
So we went out looking for a new programmer to update the xvs.library.
And with Georg Hoermann's approval we offered the code to a great guy,
Jan Erik Olausen (The programmer of VirusExecutor), and he said YES :-)
PLEASE..... read the PS at the bottom of this email......
So, Jan has been rather busy in the last 4 weeks with adding new viruses
and looking at the code for xvs. And now his first release is ready.
Here is some info about the release:
Name : xvs.library v33.25
Archive name : xvslibrary.lha
Archive size : 54.743 bytes
Release date : 10 June 2001
Programmer : Jan Erik Olausen
Email : virusexecutor@c2i.net
News for 33.25:
- Added Zakahackandpatch File virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
- Added Bobek! Link virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen, Frank and Zeeball for the files.
- Added Bastard Installer 1 Data virus,
Bastard Installer 2 File virus,
Bastard Link virus.
Thanks Jan Andersen and Zeeball for the files.
Thanks to Zeeball for the info on this virus and for the decrypt
and memory removal routines.
- Added 212 Bytes Link virus
Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file.
- Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus.
Thanks to Jan Andersen for reporting this.
- Added Bobek2 Installer File virus
Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for telling me about this file.
The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all
copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Jan Erik Olausen)
will continue development. See the README file for my contact
address.
Thanks to Georg Hörmann and Dirk Stoecker for helping me out with
fixing bugs in the source. I couldn't have done this without there help :o)
Download shortcut.
STILL TO DO:
- Add Bobek2 Link virus.
- Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five linkviruses are polymorphic,
but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files.
It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them
anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment.
- Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner
Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't
give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(
Remember to join the Amiga antivirus maillist for free. Just send
an empty email to: vht-dk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.
To leave the maillist, just send an empty email to: vht-dk-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.
You can find this update at Virus Help Denmark & Virus Help Team Canada now,
and on Aminet within the next 24 hours.....
PS: If you think that Jan Erik Olausen is doing one hell of a job, with keeping you Amiga

is freeware, but Jan has done one hell of a job in the last 6 month, to add new virus recog.

Virus Help Denmark: VHT-DK Bobek-2 Linkvirus found (update)
Supplement 13 June 2001
Accidently the wrong text for this news message was published. I replaced
that with the correct text, now. I apologize for this bad mistake.
mj
Here the proper message:
VHT-DK think to have found the installer of the link virus 'Bobek2'.
The respective archive was on Aminet, but meantime has been removed.
But there might be other infected archives, so be careful!
Known so far:
Archive name : Footro.lha
Archive size: 2.924 bytes
Archive info : Borntro from new A500 team Footro is looking for skilled A500 coders.
Installer name : 4k
Installer size : 2.784 bytes (stonecracker 4.04 packed)
Installer size : 3.316 bytes (unpackt)
Virusname : Bobek2 Linkvirus
Virus size : ca. 1036 bytes (uses polymorphic engine)
In the unpacked file you can read:
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------
xxxxxxxxxxx proudly presents BOBEK2 - The first binary virus for Amiga!
Credits - main coding by xxxxxxxx, polyengine by xxxxxx, installer-tool
and timer.device coding by xxxxxx! We are the best! Powered by Asm-One!
Enjoy! That is only preview of our metamorphic engine!
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------
Virus Help Denmark replaced the names with 'xxxx'. Thy don't want to promote
virus programmers. "They should make use of
there programming skills and make some useful programs", Jan Andersen wrote
in his mail.
Since the file could not be started the people of VHT-DK tried
an old A500 on which the virus was spread to other files.
At this time there is no cure for the virus 'Bobek2', but Jan
Erik Olausen is working for a way to make a recognition for the 'Bobek2' linkvirus.

version:
- Bugfix: Mounting from RDB did not work in v1.186.
- Changed: AmigaOS: SCSI_DIRECT support was removed.
- Changed: Some unused parts of the code were disabled (deviceio/asynctransfer).
- Changed: AmigaOS: Device check with the TD_GETGEOMETRY command, which did not work,
was removed. If needed, NSDPatch.cfg should be used for this instead.
This version should be used carefully. Bug reports and confirmation of that it works
might be sent to Jörg Strohmayer.

AMI Sector One Update
This time there is a big update on AMI Sector One.
The up-to-now biggest legal and licensed Amiga game 'The Case of the
Cautious Condor' (65 MB compressed) can be downloaded, now. This
realtime adventure game was first released in 1991 for the Amiga CDTV.
Wonderful drawn graphics and the glassy digi-sound make it a highlight.
Not without cause it has been 'Game of the Year' in Japan.
Of course there are much more games like 'Blood 'n' Bullets',
'Slap 'n' Tickle', 'Bill', etc.
The two classics 'Genesis - The Third Day' (generating fractal
landscapes), and 'Deluxe Music 2.0' (best? notation program for the
Amiga) are legally available at the program area, now.
The Amiga group 'Wanted Team' now also has pages on AMI Sector One.
For example there are Amiga players and new ripped sound modules.
An update of the Coverscan section may not be missed.
Last but not least the 'Amiga Games Compendium' has been expanded with
1,100 new entries.

Microcode Solutions seeking developers and beta testers (update)
Microcode Solutions is seeking for software developers and beta testers for
a PowerPC plugin board. As it isn't told in the press release about which board
they are talking we have asked Microcode Solutions for this information and will
post the answer as appendix.
The board can be plugged into your PC, Amiga or any other PCI based computer. On
June 9th, 2001 Microcode Solutions received the first working prototype
of this board that uses a high speed PowerPC processor and two RAM sockets
allowing up to 1 GB memory on the board.
There are numerous projects in development at Microcode Solutions for this board.
To finish these they are looking for software developers. Furthermore there's a
business plan for the development of many products for this board by
third party companies as their own products.
Here's the full message:
June 9th, 2001 - Today, Microcode Solutions received our first working
prototype PowerPC board. This concludes nearly 4 months worth of design
and negotiations.
The board plugs into your PC, Amiga, or any other PCI based machine, and
uses a high speed PowerPC processor with two RAM sockets, allowing up to
1GB of RAM to be placed on the board!
Microcode Solutions has numerous projects in development for this board,
and is seeking software developers to complete some of these projects.
We also have a business plan for the development of many products for
this board, by 3rd party developers, as their own products.
Basically, Microcode Solutions would be handing out product ideas
that will be huge successes, at no charge. There are just so many
things that this hardware is capable of doing, that Microcode
Solutions doesn't have the time to write all of the software AND
handle developer technical support, at the same time. Microcode
Solutions plans to make their money in the sales of the hardware, and
will be offering boards and direct technical support for free (to
those developers and companies that qualify).
Microcode Solutions is looking for qualified beta testers for this board.
Beta testers must be in the U.S.A. (no exceptions), and must sign a
multi-page confidentiality agreement. Microcode Solutions is looking
for beta testers with extensive experience in Windows 98, Windows
2000, Windows NT, and MacOS. Experience with BeOS and Linux is a plus.
If you are interested in developer information, please contact Jim Drew
via email: jimdrew@microcode-solutions.com
If you are interested in becoming a beta tester, please send a summary
of your computer experience, what system(s) you have, and how much time
you can devote to beta testing to:
tech@microcode-solutions.com.
ps
Appendix 09.06.2001:
On asking Jim Drew, CEO of Mircocode Solutions, informed us that this board
was delivered by their board manufacturer. The named PowerPC plugin board
comes also from Mircocode Solutions themselves.

»Netscape does not want to be regarded as a browser manufacturer any longer.
"The browser is a crown jewel. But in six months, you won't think of Netscape
as a browser company anymore," Netscape president Jim Bankoff told Agency Reuters.
With the media blessing of the holding company AOL Time Warner, the former
synonym for browser software will become an internet media center. In future
surfers will find a broad range of contents by Time Warner there. Under
discussion are among others Fortune, Time magazine and news by CNN.«

Event: Benelux Amiga Show and Amiga LAN party
As previously reported, the Benelux Amiga Show is taking place in Rotterdam on June 23rd, 2001 together with a
LAN party which are organized by the Dutch print magazine ´Amiga Scene´ and the
dealer ´Computer City´.
In addition to the already mentioned highlights (AmigaOne presentation by Eyetech) and
VIPs (Petro Tyschtschenko), Bjorn Lynne will be there who made a name for himself in the
Amiga scene with his lengendary music which he produces as Dr. Awesome.
In his personal invitation which you can find at the titlelink, organizer Marvin Droogsma
mentions the unbeatable Amiga community and the fact that we can still count on one another even
though we were ´overtaken´ by other systems. He says we're no rookies
and that the AmigaOne gives us the chance to be active once more. He invites all
Amigans to create this special feeling by visiting and experiencing the Benelux Amiga Show.

Game: Robot Shooter 'Apano Sin'
´Apano Sin´ is a classic robot shooter game, developed for ECS machines in
1993. Alfred Knötig then took over development and distribution and presented the
final version in 2000 at the Neuss Amiga Show. Apano Sin will run on any Amiga model
and is available on floppy disk, only.
Since the release of the game ´Apano Sin´ was one year ago and
a new edition would not be profitable, Alfred Knötig decided to sell the copies remaining
(incl. wrapping and manual) a the historical price of only 20DM. Once these copies are
sold, the game might vanish to never be seen again.

Compiler: GenesysOne for Amiga announced
With the following press release Xin Software Design announces a new compiler which first is to be developed for AmigaOS (68k).
4. Juni 2001: GenesysOne announced
Considering the pros and cons of Amiga situation: For a longer time Genesys Compiler is being planned and is now to be developed for AmigaOS (first only for 68k), too - all tests have been successfully completed for making a compiler for Amiga.
Genesys compiles Genesys-sourcecodes as well as C and C++-sourcecodes.
This is possible without any problems because of the high similarity of the programming languages because the compiler is an extension of the programming language C++.
Additional features will simplify the use of ARexx-ports, several tasks and lists as well as deliver additional datatypes for scientific tasks and allow a better control over datatypes and data.
Genesys-projects are object-orientated in all sectors but it is also possible to program processor independable assembler. The abilities of the programming language are being extended concerning the machine as well as the concept.
In order to ensure the controlled development presently there are defined a lot of test cases and the project as well as the implementation are being exactly planned. Also the connection to the developer area 'void' is being defined.
After the Amiga-port further Genesys-compilers have been into consideration for Linux as well as x86 and PPC-hardware.
GenesysOne-Compiler will be the compiler which exists first and which is the equivalent of the incomplete beta version of the final Genesys-compiler.
The first final versions will be probably published at first quartal of 2002.

QNX 6 now ith PPC support
The current beta version of QNX RTP (the system which was formerly planned as "new AmigaOS") now supports as runtime-platform PPC (additional to many other processors), too. Because of that with QNX software can be developed (currently on x86) which run on PPC-platforms.
This is very interesting because QNX is still always a very powerful and multimedia-able operating system and the producers (as always up to now) have carried out their promises to support PPC.

Hardwaretip: Volume-Control with multimedia keyboard
Thomas Wenzel describes how to use a multimedia keyboard for volume control:
Control the master volume of your Amiga/Prelude soundsystem with the special keys
of a multimedia keyboard:).A normal PC-Multimedia keyboard, Guido Mersmanns MMKeyboard
Interface and my new mixing commodity for the Prelude make it possible.
That's how it works:
In combination with the delivered "driver" commodity MMKeyboard Interface is able
to control the special keys of the multimedia keyboard and configure them with
free choosable functions. For audio purposes many keyboards have "Volume +",
"Volume -", and "Mute"-keys for this special functions. The new Prelude mixer
has now an AREXX port that understands VOLUP, VOLDOWN, and MUTE. With the Prelude
you are still able to use the Amiga soundsignal (PAULA) and now control its
volume, too, with the keyboard.

DTP: AmigaWriter Filter V1.1 for PageStream
AmigaWriter-Filter is a new import filter for Soft-Logik's DTP program
PageStream. Click on the thumbnail to the right to see a screenshot of
what it can do!
It consists of two parts:
The text filter inserts the main flow-text of your AmigaWriter
documents into the current PageStream article with most of its text
formattings.
The document filter loads your AmigaWriter documents as if they were native PageStream
documents, retaining as much of your original document as possible.
Applications
AmigaWriter-Filter was designed to
- print AmigaWriter documents to PostScript
- export AmigaWriter documents to PDF
- use AmigaWriter as a WYSIWYG replacement for PageLiner
- ... and anything else you can think of :-))
The filter comes with the usual options you would expect from a
PageStream import filter: it performs typographical
conversions for quotes, dashes and ellipses. In addition, it allows
you to choose the quote format (available are US, French,
German and German-French). The text filter has another
option called Apply Styles Only which can be a great help to achieve consistent layout, especially when
several authors are working on one text.

version the GUI will be completely independent from the rest of the program.
This allows STRICQ v2 to be equipped with different GUI's. People interested
in developing a GUI (MUI or other) for STRICQ v2 can mail to
Douglas F. McLaughlin for closer
discussions about the implementation.
There will be a SDK for GUI developers.
