c't issue 12/2001 (ANF)


c't newspart: 'Mac OS 9 on the AMIGA'
The AMIGA is making headlines once again in the current print issue of the c't (German computer magazine), page 39:
»Already for years is the AMIGA for some fans the better Macintosh. Now the MacOS versions 8.5 to 9.1 and therefore PowerPC native programs, too, can be used on the computer - with iFusion. The British distributor Blittersoft sells the emulator for 430 Mark via the internet (www.blittersoft.com). The software is said to support up to 2 GByte RAM, disk drives, harddisks and CD-ROMs. Requirements for the use is according to Blittersoft an AMIGA computer with a PPC board, 32 MByte RAM and Cybergraphics version 4. (adb)«

This headline shows very exactly that the interest in the AMIGA is also depending on the really existing (and not only announced) products. (ps)

The Register: Sharp uses Intel for Linux PDA
According to ´The Register´ Sharp abandons Hitachi in favor of Intel and breaks with the tradition to equip the Zaurus PDA with StrongARM. Sharp admitted this yesterday.

Certainly the price was a factor in the decision as to use the Intel CPU means to save costs. The reason? "StrongARM offers lowest energy consumption and best functions," says Hiroshi Uno, leader for mobile systems at Sharp in an interview with Bloomberg.

Tool: update of asyncio.library for WarpOS
Thanks to helpful support, there's a new update of the asyncio.library with WarpOS support which will appear on Aminet in the next days.

On a couple of Amigas, the PPC task could freeze. This bug is now fixed. Also the library should run in PPC mode faster than before.

The update was tested with WarpOS v5.1 and worked without problems. Nevertheless interested users should first test the update as problems with older WarpOS versions cannot be ruled out.

Cooperation between Petsoff and individual Computers
After a long time the efficient Delfine soundcard continues being produced with a DSP (digital Signal processor) at individual Computers. The card was reworked on the Zorro-site to increase the performance to a level which has never been there with unchanged Z-II buses: "Delfina Flipper edition" gains more than 5MB7sec! This speed can be used to play more channels than it has ever been possible on a different Z-II soundcard or to reduce the cpu-using while playing single channels. All known DSP functions and programs for the Delfina also work with the new cards inclusively the most interesting application which is playing MP3 files with minimal cpu-use. Thus an Amiga without a turbo board is able to play MP3 in best quality!

With the help of the Toccata emulation and of the AHI software interface the Delfina can be used by each software which needs a soundcard. A midi expansion connects the Delfina to midi-expanders, synthesizers and keyboards.

By reworking the Delfina s oundcard by individual Computers the costs could be enormously reduced. The new cards will be probably available in summer 2001. Petsoff website (ps)

Emulator: WinUAE Version 0.8.16R3 released
WinUAE, the Amiga-Emulator for Win95, Win98, WinME, Win2K and WinXP, is released in Version 0.8.16 Release 3 with new rtg.library.

  1. FIXED: GUI DLL loader is no longer fixated on Deutsch.
  2. FIXED: Selecting 68000 CPU from a JIT config doesn't result in error message.
  3. ADDED: Sprite-collisions can be enabled/disabled during emulation, not just at startup.
  4. ADDED: Patched rtg.library added to package, which should fix the mouse trails. (Thanks to Tobias Abt and Alexander Kneer of P96, and Bernd Roesch). This file (rtg.library) will end up in the "Amiga Programs/" directory under the "WinUAE/" directory where you install to.
  5. ADDED: German keymap (UAE_German)
  6. ADDED: UAE disk change utility
  7. ADDED: French and German DLLs updated, Italian DLL added. (Thanks Georg V, FagEmul, and Daniele G)
  8. CHANGED: Tweaked the sound code again, memory-leak should be gone, performance should be better - expect a speed decrease when using JIT and sound.
  9. CHANGED: Graphics glitches caused by NOVSYNC flipping should be gone in full- screen mode.
  10. REMOVED: Turkish DLL, as it was out-of-date
Download: WinUAE0816R3.exe (ps)

Hyperion Entertainment changes status of Warp3D V4
Hyperion Entertainment changes status of Warp3D V4

We would like to inform you that after extensive deliberation, Hyperion Entertainment has decided to upgrade the status of Warp 3D V4 from a freeware product to a commercial OEM product which will offered to Amiga hardware developers for a moderate license fee.

This decision was prompted by two major reasons:
  1. Hyperion Entertainment has reached an agreement with Amiga Inc. to incorporate Warp3D V4 into Amiga OS 4.x on a per unit royalty basis. Producers of zico compliant hardware (Amiga One etc.) will be required to license Amiga OS 4.x and will as such be paying indirectly for Warp 3D V4 drivers. It would be unacceptable to both Amiga Inc. and these hardware producers that they would be required to pay royalties for a product which other hardware producers would receive free of charge.

  2. Warp 3D started out as a freeware product developed by non-commercial developers to support the Virge and Permedia 2 chipsets. Compared to current chipsets, the Virge and Permedia 2 are extremely primitive and feature-poor. The effort and time needed to adequately support modern chipsets such as the Voodoo 3 and Matrox G450 with their rich and advanced feature-set is far greater than the effort required to support the Virge and Permedia 2 chipsets. Combined with the fact that there are currently no less than 7 different PCI product from three different manufacturers, it's clear that the effort required to support modern chipsets on all the different PCI hardware available goes far beyond the scope of a freeware project.
As the original Warp 3D developers have now moved on to commercial development, maintaining Warp 3D as a freeware product would entail that development of new Warp 3D drivers and extension of the Warp 3D API would be very slow as development could only take place "after hours".

This is not only not in the interest of Amiga users but it is also not in the interest of hardware producers and resellers who rely on the availability of Warp 3D drivers to successfully market their Amiga hardware.

Hyperion Entertainment fully understands that the company has a responsibility towards the Amiga community including the hardware producers because of its control over the Warp 3D API and no attempt has ever been made or will be made to exploit this position unfairly.

We have already successfully negotiated agreements with Matay and DCE regarding Warp3D V4 support for the Voodoo 3 on their respective PCI hardware. We are therefore happy to report that Voodoo 3 drivers for these PCI solutions will be available shortly.

A similar proposal was made to Elbox but so far we have not received any reaction.

Users considering purchase of a PCI solution for Amiga and who are interested in high-performance 3D graphics should investigate the availability of Warp3D drivers prior to making their decision to opt for one or the other PCI solution.

It should also be noted that Warp3D will remain free for end users. (ps)

Those Icons shall be used to identify datatypes in DirectDos, so it isn't really about 1,200 icons, but might be only 300 to 400 - so it's an absolutely practicable task :-). At this time 166 (more or less good) icons exist. If you are interested, please mail to Marius Schwarz. (ps)

So I'm asking now if there are really people out there who want this method of payment. If you do not order any of my programs or the The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition CD-ROM just because you cannot pay with credit card please vote now on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.

GFX-BASE: Test of 'WordHunt', Search, Links
Kevin Hansen has released an English test of the think-game 'WordHunt' by Robert/Bob Dickow on GFX-BASE.

'WordHunt' is about finding words hidden in a box full of characters.

Moreover the website was extended at other areas:
the search function has been strongly enhanced, so among other things searching inside of the scene demo database is now possible, too.

New links as well as game and scene demo entries were added and some days ago the GFX-Base introduced the last week's Aminet highlights. (sd)

File manager: DirOpus V4.15k Beta
Jacek Rzeuski has released beta version 4.15k of the file manager 'DirOpus' on 25 May 2001. This update contains some small enhancements listed in the history.

This version outputs debug information to the serial interface which can be redirected to a Workbench window using Sushi/Sashimi.

This beta version only contains changes since 'Directory Opus v4.15'. That version and the source code are to find on the download page.

DirOpus is a file manager, coded by Jonathan Potter and Greg Perry of GP Software. The source code was released under the terms of GNU public license in 1999. Jacek Rzeuski then started to rework and enhance the program.

PCI: Matay and Elbox (Update)
Matay published an official statement about the letter Elbox Computer sent to Fabio Trotta. The letter by Elbox bears on Fabio Trotta's test of the Prometheus board on NoRiscNoFun and is part of the statement.

Supplement 27 May 2001
Elbox accused Matay to use graphics board drivers by Elbox without permission, whereas Matay refers to an existing contract with the Picasso96 team. (Desiatox) (sd)

Supplement 28 May 2001
Today also the Picasso96 team piped up to definitively invalidate the accusation, "we, the Picasso96 team, just want to straighten out that the Voodoo boards driver utilized for the test was written by ourself. After all we have experiences with this chip-set since the MacPicasso850. Furthermore Matay are respectable business partners of ours. From our point of view all of the accusations launched by Elbox are completely weak and of unbelievable bad style". Entire message here. (ps)

MPEG player: Frogger 1.65rc5 for PowerPC released
A new version of the Amiga MPEG animation player ´Frogger´ for PowerPC computers has been released. With this it is now possible to select several animations at once that are then played one after another.

The graphical user interface (GUI) has been revised and causes less often a system crash. The speed was also part of the revision and much has been improved.

In case that the original Frogger website (title link) is too slow, you can use this mirror site for downloading, too. The program is shareware and can be registered either directly at the author Sebastian Jëdruszkiewicz in Poland or for German readers at Fun Time World. (ps)

New pictures and report from the 'Japanese Business Show 2001'
As already reported, Sharp Corporation presented the Sharp Zaurus pocket computer with AmigaDE as application for the first time at their booth at the 'Japanese Business Show 2001' in Tokyo. Ralph Ewers, an amiga-news.de reader currently living in Tokyo, has visited the show for us and sent us more pictures and a small report.

Ralph Ewers had the chance to talk to Sharp's planning manager and obtain the following information:

The Zaurus is supposed to be available in America this autumn running Linux (in English) instead of the Japanese ZaurusOS. The American version will most likely contain some improvements: in the same case, a faster CPU may be built into (the current CPU was at times indeed slow running the DE), a battery with longer life and a keyboard with larger keys is planned as well. Whether AmigaDE will be included depends on the licence fees which are currently not decided yet. A first prototype of the English Zaurus may be seen at the Java-One taking place in early June in America.

At least, Bill McEwen (here only called "Mister Bill" since it's easier to pronounce for the Japanese) has had some successful meetings with a Sharp manager (these personal meetings are very important!). He's at least in e-mail contact with the "planning manager" I spoke to.

Amiga is definitely seen "only" as "content provider". A native DE hasn't been thought about so far. (At least that's the official reply!)

Other "highlights":

The color display of the Palm m505 is at least in the default configuration rather ugly and strongly reminds of the PalmIIIc. It also reflects awfully (it has that - sadly - in common with the Zaurus). Regarding this, the Cassiopeia s700 (or was it i700) impressed me very much. Subjectively not any heavier than a Palm V (slightly deeper) and a great display with higher resolution.

Logitec plans to release a DVD-R/RW (yes, "R") drive with FireWire in June, the price is interesting: 120,000 Yen (plus 5% tax here in Japan).

Bluetooth was a big topic. Panasonic for example has presented miscellaneous hardware; some kind of Gameboy, headphones, expansion cards for the memory card slot and so on, and there's also a lot of choice for the Zaurus.

»Today, Todor Fay gave me the permission to make the source code of Bars&Pipes Professional 2.5c available to the public.

He asked me to spread this information as far as possible. Thus I ask you to pass on this information to all those who are interested.

A group of programmers looked at the source, completed it and cleaned as many errors as possible; made it compliant to the new ANSI-C standard (as far as possible and necessary), adapted it to several compilers (CompilerSpecific.h was built in), tested it with SAS/C 6.50 and DICE 3.16.

Any commercial distribution is prohibited. A release on Amiga CDs is no problem. Distributors of Amiga CDs who want to release the source code on a CD are asked to contact me.« (ps)

This game dedicated to all "Simpsons" cartoon fans. But now Homer Simpson adventures are in Russia. The word "chajnik" in title mean "dummy" (it's Russian slang). This is first (not last, I hope) big game project from Russia. Autor -- Vladimir Berezenko aka Q-Master. Original version of this game was developed by Vlad Scherbakov and Renat Farhulin (aka Mr. Gluk) for ZX-Spectrum (yea, this computer still popular here in Russia).

There are English text strings in the game - you have to click on "AMERIKA" on the title screen to play in English instead of Russian.

There also is an English text version of this game. To play this you have to click on "Amerika" on the title screen. (ps)

Audio: ProStationAudio Update - 24bit Import
Beyond 16bit audio.

The current trend in the audio industry is to propose alternatives to 16bit audio storage. Efforts are targeting opposite directions: uncompressed high resolution (24bit/96KHz) and high compression ratios (MPEG).

In order to keep up to date in handling data generated by latest Mac and Windows audio applications the new ProStationAudio 4.10 now can import and convert to 16bit for multitrack editing from:
  • 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) AIFF (Macintosh)
  • 24bit/96KHz (packed data, mono and stereo) WAV (Windows)
  • Raw MP3 files
  • WAV MP3 files (0x55 format)
  • WAV MP3 files (0x50 format)
  • Shoutcast live streaming MP3
Enhancements over 4.05 include a mouse-over capability that allows to inspect objects' attributes by moving the mouse pointer over the timeline, and fixes. The product is ready now, there's no new public demo for 4.10.

ProStationAudio 4.10 will also be available to current customers in a few days, free update as always.

ProStationAudio runs on AmigaOS (classic only) systems (Amigas and Dracos). An additional version for Windows is in the works. (ps)

Please follow the procedure below:

To be considered, you must point your browser to
http://www.amigadev.net. Look to the right hand menu bar
and click the link that says "Join Amiga Support".

Fill in the form as completely as possible. In the text
block, list any Amiga applications you have beta tested.
Once the form is completely filled in, click "save".

Then, log in to the amigadev site using your new ADxxxx
number that you will receive from filling in the form.
Look to the right hand menu bar under "Legal" and grab a
copy of the Amiga Inc. NDA. Fill in the NDA and fax to
425-396-5660 Attn: Gary or mail to:

Amiga Inc.
Attn: Gary
34935 SE Douglas #210
Snoqualmie, Wa 98065

Amiga Inc. is also requesting all active AmigaOS and
AmigaDE developers to follow the above procedures with
the exception of filling in the form as a "developer"
rather than a "beta tester". Send us a copy of the NDA.

Once a developer has his AD number and NDA in to Amiga
Inc. proper permissions will be set so that you can
reach NDA areas of the web site.

If you have properly installed the AmigaDE SDK you will
already have an AD number.

This one number is good for any and all installations
and testings.

For immediate publication.

Eyetech: Price for AmigaOne not announced, yet
Alan Redhouse of Eyetech has posted to the comments of ANN a comment about the mentioned price for the AmigaOne boards. He said that Eyetech did not announce prices for their own AmigaOne computer, yet. This is also applies to price declarations for vendors.

The price independently mentioned by 'epic/amigastuff' he thinks to be for testing purposes to find out about market reactions.

«1. no dealers have yet been announced
2. no pricing has yet been announced to any dealers
3. epic/amigastuff are just guessing to test the market reaction IMO.
4. none of this helps anybody.

ARexx: Selection Script for Miami
Everybody who wants to save money and therefore assigns his online times to several providers, knows the problem having to call in Miami the cheapest provider for the time being via "Load settings" every time. Frank Seidel has written a small ARexx script to simplify this.

If you call the script for example via the Toolmanager Miami is started (if not already running) and then you can immediately choose via button the wanted settings file. There are four buttons available:

| Standard | Mon - Sat | Sun + holiday | Choose yourself |

Clicking on ´Choose yourself´ opens a file requester in the Miami directory, and you can choose the file yourself. After that Miami goes online.

The website has a clearly arranged navigation and is hold in the classic Commodore colors red and blue. By the way, you shouldn't miss the ´crash course´ ;-). (ps)

Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC Hardware
Microcode Solutions announces PowerPC hardware for PC's and new Amigas, along with Power Macintosh emulation!
Jim Drew from Microcode Solutions wrote on the 18.05.2001:
Today, Microcode Solutions finalized preparation for the production of PowerPC hardware to be used in PC compatibles and next generation Amiga machines.

The hardware will come with software to emulate a Power Macintosh (tm) computer. More information concerning the emulation will be released in the near future.

Specifications for the hardware will not be released until the hardware is ready to ship. However, we can say that the hardware will have some astounding features designed around simplifying 3rd party development, including emulation technology.

Microcode Solutions will be offering free developer hardware to qualified companies and 3rd party developers (including freeware/shareware). Microcode Solutions will also be releasing a complete SDK for the hardware to the public, and provide technical support to anyone interested in developing software for this hardware. (ps)

You will have to sign an NDA to do the testing, but it will really help to iron out any problems and speed OS4.0 on its way."

The script library of REBOL.com can now be accessed from the View desktop. With the help of its library drawer, upload and updating of scripts is also possible.

Currently, the library is at beta 1 status. For future versions, there are ideas like a browser for better viewing of the library, a history icon which informs about changes and an additional field in the REBOL header which states in which environment (CGI, REBOL/View, ...) the script works and whether it produces output which is for example not the case with includes that merely import functions.

AMIGAONE Yahoo Chat
Shawn (aka Amigaone) has created a chat with subject ´AmigaOne´ at Yahoo. To take part a JavaTM capable browser is required and you will have to register for the chat at Yahoo. On Saturday, 9 June (7 pm) a live chat will start where users will be able to discuss theire wishes, criticism, and suggestions for the AmigaOne. The log-file will be forwarded to both Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss. Who would like to receive the log-file, may contact amigaone@powerh.net.

Supplement:
Since we were advised by many people that the initiator is about to be somebody who lacks seriousness, we suggest to read the comments, too.

Original message with more details.

This chat will include voice. Just get your mics and plug them in. Or at least turn the voice on. First go to yahoo. Then click on the Chat link. Register as a user if you haven't done so. Don't download the messenger because its windows unless you have a windows machine then come early and download yahoo messenger.

Once logged in, click on the start chatting button, its java so it best to use a Java capable browser. Go to AMIGAONE room and I AMIGATHEONE will be there. Along with many others.

Starting SAT JUNE 9th, 7pm central and lasting till whenever there will be a live chat on the new AMIGA. All may truly express their feelings on what they dislike and this log will be submitted to Bill and Fleecy.

You may contact me at amigaone@powerh.net to get the log of the show. I personally invite people who wrongly believe in the pci and agp solution. IF they aren't there it only proves that they are wrong and cant put up. This is an enlightening forum for truth and helpfulness. Nothing else. Absuses will not be tolerated and anybody doing so will be booted by me or my assistance whom I trust. (ps)

Utilizing the two new loaders ´RAW Grey´ and ´RAW Color´ the ImageEditor in principle can read any raw formatted picture (e.g. sculpt), now.

'Business Cards' of Chip Designers
Any Amiga user is aware that hardware and software designers like to leave some personal remarks (easter eggs) in their work. More difficult is to find such 'business cards'. Those reside on silicon chips and can be made visible only by using a microscope (or even an electron microscope).

Here are two pictures from Motorola PowerPC chips:
Motorola XPC 750
Motorola XPC 603 (ps)

Programming Language: Emperor Introduces Itself
Emperor is an object-orientated programming language which enables the user in a most simple way to write applications and tools for the new AmigaOS 3.9 as well as for AmigaOS 2.0.

Standard-GUI-elements like windows, menus, requesters, ASL-requesters, ReAction- and GadTools-gadgets are integrated by clicking the mouse and can be programmed with the help of macro functions and integrated text editor. The gadgets can communicate by implementing of so called Interconnection-maps without typing a single line of source code. It is also very easy to create locale-catalogs and variables, to integrate libraries and so on. Emperor has an easily understandable and user-friendly ReAction-Gui and a detailed online-handbook in the ".guide"-format. Programming the new AmigaOS becomes a pushover!

Emperor is available in the completely reworked version 4.0 and has the following features:
  • Immediate visualizing of each element available
  • Generating C/C++-source code
  • Integrated text editor
  • StormC-connection via ARexx
  • Generating source code for AmigaOS 2.0, AmigaOS 3.9 or in mixed modus
  • Memory use drastically reduced (requires: 3 to 4 MByte)
  • Fixed some minor bugs of the previous version
  • Extended handling of GadTools-gadgets
  • Understandable layout
  • More complex menus
  • FREEWARE
You can download version 4.0 of the program on Aminet-directory "dev/c".

Heise: Karlsruhe judges Future of Domain Names
»Federal Supreme Court in Karlsruhe will effect a Domain hearing on Thursday which is considered to be trend-setting for handling general describing web-addresses. First the conflict about the domain www.mitwohnzentrale.de had exercised judiciary of Hamburg. In the end of 1999 regional court of appeal allowed the suit of the roommate center compound HomeCompany and had forbidden the defendant Ring Europaeischer Mitwohnzentralen (REM) to continue using the domain because of anticompetitive action. The use of terms without individual additives would interfere competition at the expense of competitors. This would lead to an "interception" of possible customers just wanting to explore the tender at the market section by 'hit or miss'-typing the Domain name. Because of that they would accidently come to the defendant's sites and would stop searching for other competitors and therefore would not compare other services.«

IBM will publish a WebPAD with QNX Neutrino as OS and Opera as WWW-browser. A customer also has been found, yet. If the device contains a PPC or a x86 processor was not mentioned in the message. IBM had announced PPCs for Internet appliances (just like this one) where graphics chips and parts of the periphery will be integrated on the chip.

And if anyone wonders why this message belongs to the newsticker, here one hint: "This could have been the AmigaNG (QNX+Opera+[PPC ?])".

Ultraconv Online Registration
Already early this year we took over distribution of Ultraconv, formerly distributed by RBM. Due to the last release took place some time ago, we can hardly determine if there is sufficient demand for a new version, again. To find out about the number of active Ultraconv users, we decided to raise a registration project for Ultraconv. We ask all of the Ultraconv owners to register online. It's understood that your data will be kept in confidence and will not be handed down.
