R-Type Title Song as Ringing Sound for your Cell Phone
Dennis Lohr, aka Psyria, has got another
licence from Chris Huelsbeck to convert one
of his songs into cell phone format. This time it's the title melody of "R-Type".
For everybody who doesn't need a picture, here's the notation sequence:
4G#4, 4D#5, 4G#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5, 4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5,
2C#.5, 8D#5, 8F5, 4D#5, 4D#5, 4G#4, 4D#5, 8D#6, 2C#.6, 8C6, 8A#5,
4C.6, 8G#5, 4D#.5, 8G#5, 2A#.5, 8G#5, 8A#5, 4G#5, 8G#5, 1P
First number: kind of the note (full, half, quarter, ...)
Letter : note height (if need be with "#" + ".")
Third number: Octave (note height)
People who'd rather see a picture can find this at Psyria on the homepage (title
link) at the download area.
On "www.mp3.com/huelsbeck" you can find
the old pieces of Chris Huelsbeck in studio quality.
The next conversion for the handy will be "Giana Sisters". Be anxious. ;)
Psyria wrote:
You have to set the speed for the song for yourself!
This is needed because every cell phone producer uses a different way for the speed
display. For example: for Siemens cell phones it's 1 = slow to 30 = fast and for
Nokia cell phones it's in bpm.
On Siemens cell phones it would be 7 or 8 ;) (tested on S25 & S35)

REBOL: Function Dictionary, Sound Support, VID FAQ
Function dictionary
On the 10. May 2001 has REBOL Technologies released an update of the
'Function Dictionary' where the functions of the REBOL system
are described. The functions are sorted by categories and alphabetically. The
dictionary is available as
HTML file (almost 900 KB)
and in the REBOL desktop via 'REBOL.com/Ref-Make'. This script loads around 40
KB from the REBOL site and generates the file
'/public/www.rebol.com/view/docs/dictionary.html' within the REBOL directory.
Sound support
REBOL/View/Pro supports from the version 1.2 on the output of sound samples.
For the loading of samples is a subset of the WAV format (PCM samples with 8 or 16
Bit) supported.
The sound output is possible on the systems AmigaOS (AHI, audio.device),
BeOS, Linux/x86 (Open Sound System) and Windows 95/98/Me/NT/2000.
Further information can be taken from the
REBOL sound documentation.
VID-FAQ
A faq regarding the REBOL GUI dialect 'VID' can be found via the REBOL desktop
on
http://www.compkarori.co.nz/index.r within 'VidWiki'.
Information: REBOL
REBOL is a cross platform system developed by Carl Sassenrath (Amiga-Exec) that was
first released in November 1997. The REBOL programming language
allows an easy use of the internet including the programming of CGI scripts and
the easy creation of GUIs.
On 24. April 2001 was REBOL/View V1.1 released. From this version on
REBOL offers the REBOL desktop. This makes it possible to put REBOL scripts on
every web server, so that these scripts can be called and executed via the
desktop. Herewith REBOL offers similar possibilities as Java does. The
examples listed on REBOL include
games like Tetris and Minesweeper and tools like a pocket calculator and a
script for sending e-mails.

Amiga port of SiN Finished, but...
From a posting of Ben Hermans of
Hyperion Entertainment it is evident
that the Amiga port of the game 'SiN' is ready but the actual Amiga hardware
isn't enough to cope with the requirements of the game. The port will be hold
back until the AmigaOne hits the market.
Hermans said that particularly the lower-end Blizzard acceleration cards couldn't offer
the CPU speed needed for 'SiN'.

Intel: Itanium Set in May
Intel plans the release of the first batch
Itanium chips for the end of this month. It is expected that two or three
versions of this chip will arrive. One with 733 Mhz and a 800-Mhz version with
2 MB cache. A 800-Mhz version with 4 MB cache is said to come, too. Amiga should
now mention whether an Itanium compatible translator (VP) is planned.
Itanium chips are 64Bit processors that can among other things manage 32 GB
memory. Enough for complete websites or the content of big harddrives.
IBM, Hewlett-Packard, Dell and other big computer distributors will soon present
computers with 2, 4 and even with 16 processors that for the first time will have
the 64 bit Itanium chip.

Amiga Network News more Comfortable
Christian Kemp did a technical extension of the Amiga Network News website (ANN),
re-activated the notify service, and changed the HTML code.
Now the page optionally supports cookies. If cookies are active the current
settings, own name, and e-mail address is saved to cookies. This facilitates entering of comments.
The notify service was re-activated, so subscribers are automatically informed about updates, again.
The layout was reset to the previous version and all of the MS Internet Explorer specific changes
has been removed, since it seemed to be impossible to request all of the Amiga browser variants,
which indeed announce themselves as CSS2 capable browsers via spoofing, but do not support every
CSS2 feature.
Amiga Network News offers commentable topical messages from the Amiga sector.

dynAMIte CD Version News
The recently started dynAMIte CD project is progressing in some way, but unfortunately not
as fast as we had hoped. We are on a good way to it, but still need some pre-orders to
achieve a minimum of 100. We got some questions about the content of the CD:
- dynAMIte (the game itself will stay freeware!)
- New dynAMIte Gfx-Styles
- New dynAMIte Sample sets
- At least 100 new levels
- Extended manual in any imaginable language
- Big Intro
- CD sound track
- and some more surprises which we hopefully will be able announce, soon.
We are looking forward to more pre-orders!

Amiga Arena: Special Price for VideoEasel
In co-operation with Thomas Richter Amiga Arena makes VideoEasel available at a
special price. The special price is valid until the 31.06.2001. You can find the
special price campaign in the section "Aktionen"!
About VideoEasel:
It is tricky to describe this program, it's best described as a "mathematical
toy", entertainment on the highest level.
Maybe Conway's "Game of Life" is known, a cellular automaton that can be used to
imitate "biological looking" processes. At its time this "game" went through the
press, with its variations. Indeed VE can deal yet more; things like the kinetic
gas theory, oscillating chemical reactions, simulated circuits, diffusion
processes and more can be simulated. Own automatons can be developed, VE is
programmable.
The idea is simple: the screen is divided in cells (the screen pixels),
the condition of a grid pixel at the time t+1 then depends on the condition of
the cell itself and their neighborhood at the time t via a simple (programmable)
rule. You can here already simulate very complex processes with very simple
rules, and the results aren't always easily predictable. some of the automatons
have serious applications and are used as models in the statical physics ( grid
gas, Ising model of the ferromagnetism), partly it's just an interesting toy
(Game of Life, Brian's Brain, many more).
VE comes with a manual that contains several dozens experiments next to example
data starting points. Just test out the demo version.
Further information can be found at
Thor Software.

Digital Almanac III - Update and News
There's again an update of the astronomical program ´Digital Almanac
III´ with new features and improvements. The new version is numbered 3.3.
Highlights this time are:
- Calculation of "Killer asteroids" (so called PHAs). Who comes nearest to the
earth?
- IFF ANIM compression now also in the PPC mode. For animations and pictures
only the actual star map is saved, not the whole screen anymore.
- Extended toolbar with buttons in the GlowIcon style by Martin Merz.
- The DA III screen has now a name, so that some commodities (for example MCP)
can access it. With a new menu item you can now fade in the screen bar with
depth gadget.
Bugfixes:
- The ways of several small bodies was drawn wrong because of a false Perihel
calculation.
- The printout was unfortunately distorted since several versions.
This error was unfortunately discovered just now.
As usual, the update will be sent to all registered users via email.
Remarks to WinUAE and MorphOS:
DA III runs perfectly under the new WinUAE JIT version in the 020/FPU mode.
Under older UAE versions (for example: Cloanto's latest version in the AmigaForever
v4) DA III is only usable with the non-FPU version in the pure 020 mode, as the
FPU emulation here is still buggy. DA III in all versions does not run under
MorphOS. It seems that not all FPU instructions are correctly emulated. Only the
020 version runs with restrictions. A special MorphOS version will definitely
not happen. When the WarpOS version of DA III runs stable under MorphOS, a
special MorphOS version becomes unnecessary.
PC port?
DA III won't be ported to Windows, Linux or another OS. Previous requests for
such a port had unfortunately to be refused. DA III is and
keeps an Amiga program. Especially under Windows there's a big number of similar
programs of high value. (ps)

the end of the year announced Zaurus PDA will not run with a new developed Amiga
OS. Instead of this a specially adapted version of RedHat-Linux will be used.
Amiga Incorporated, the remainder of the same

Java applications for the organizer, so that the GUI may indeed remind of old

Paint Program: DiamondBOX Version 1.11
Nikolaj Thygesen as released version 1.11 of his Amiga paint program ´DiamondBOX´.

WinUAE: Kaillera Beta 1 - Gaming via the Net
First off
WinUAE-Kaillera was developed by Sane and Thrill. The original WinUAE was developed by Brian King, based on
the original UAE. Brian King has no part whatsoever in the development of WinUAE-Kaillera, therefore do not send
him any questions about this beta-release, as he can't answer them. Kaillera, the engine on which this product is based,
is developed by Christophe Thibault, who also has nothing to do with the actual development of WinUAE-Kaillera. See
at the end of the document for related websites. Bug-related questions should go to poopy@postmark.net .
Description
WinUAE-Kaillera enables users of this great emulator to play against another person over a TCP/IP network, such as
the internet. For this it uses the Kaillera-Engine,
a program developed specifically for enabling emulators to achieve
netplay. As Kaillera itself already has proven its merits on emulators such as Mame and Bliss, this was the perfect
choice for the development of this program. In this first BETA release there is support for (shared) keyboard and
joystick. Mouse does NOT work yet (we're working hard on that one :). Do not expect this BETA release to work
flawless. This version uses the source code as released on the WinUAE page, v0.8.14. As there are new versions out
already, it could be that this version does not work on your computer. Do not send bug reports/questions about this
please.
Usage
First of all: netplay requires a fast and good internet connection. A typical ping to the other player should not exceed
150 ms, otherwise the game could become difficult to handle. In theory there is no reason you can't run it on a 56K
modem, apart from the fact that modems sometimes prove to be unreliable. Judge for yourself. When you start
WinUAE-Kaillera you will notice a few changes over the original WinUAE. On the 'Configuration'-tab there is an
extra button 'Start Kaillera', furthermore the 'Gameport'-tab has three extra buttons 'Remote 0', 'Remote 1' and
'None' (default).
Before playing, both players should first acquire the exact same configuration-file. Any differences in these can/will
cause the game to 'desync'. Ofcourse the game/kickstart should also be the same.
The 'Remote X' buttons must be configured prior to any netplay. They decide who is using what joyport on the remote
end. If you are using joystick 0 in port 0, and the remote player is using joystick 0 in port 1, you should enable 'remote 1'.
The remote player should do exactly the reverse and enable 'remote 0'. Furthermore make sure your joystick settings
are right. Each player should use joystick 0 on its local port, and have joystick 1 configured for the remote port. See
screenshots for clarification.
After you both verified your settings are correct on both ends, press 'Start Kaillera' on the 'Configuration'-tab. The
Kaillera-window will now be opened, and you can use a server from the list that appears on the screen or enter an IP
of another Kaillera- server. If you are both on the server, one player creates a game using 'create game' on the bottom.
After that, the other player can simply join the game, by selecting it and pressing 'join'. If you are both ready, the player
that created the game starts it by pressing 'start game', and off you go!
Finally, the local player can start the game, after which both emulators will start loading the game.
The emulator will now sync up (this takes a little while) and the game will be loading. You can now play just as you
would play on a single computer, with the extra addition that the keyboard is shared. You can both press keys on it to
choose extra options. For clarity and fair play, it is recommended that you decide beforehand who is handling the
keyboard.
Close information about how to use it including screenshots and hints how to solve problems
are available in the
documentation.
This is about a beta release which still might contain bugs. Bug reports can be sent to
poopy@postmark.net

Google: Entire Usenet Archive Available Now
In February the search engine Google took over the Usenet service from Deja.com

Google now has integrated the entire Usenet archive beginning from 1995 and by that
enables searching in 650 million of messages (over 1 terabyte of communication).
Until the middle of May it should be possible to post messages to single news groups on
the Usenet via Google Groups.

Tales of Tamar
|
50 Additional Beta Testers for T.o.T. Wanted
50 additional beta tester are being looked for Tales of Tamar,
which is an internet-based round game for Amiga, Atari, Linux
and PC developed by Eternity Entertainment Software. With the new
version v0.35 the player is able to "annex land" for the first time.
By annexing land your empire becomes larger and the proportion between
raw material and population will change enormously. We will see that the
high prices for weapons and arming will go down at the markets and will
even out on a normal level. And we will see how countries will be formed
and rulers occupy Tamar.
Annexing is nothing different than leading war which is the fight against
the original inhabitant of a country. To that function Tales of Tamar offers
an efficient fighting machine. It assesses armed forces in over 50 points and
then let the armies fight against each other to the rules of the mediaeval
fighting strategy.
That fighting machine take note of the following aspects:
- Arming
- Weapons
- Second weapons
- Experience
- Training
- Cavalry
- Armies with missiles
- Ratio of troops
- Morality
- Surroundings
- Race
- Exhaustion

Virus Help Denmark: New Link-Virus Found
A new link-virus has been found, the installer is still unknown, we are looking
for it. This new virus will add 460 bytes to every file that is opened or executed.
That also means that even an antivirus program (that the virus is unknown to),
will infect every file it checks for virus. The new virus patches dos.library
ExNext function to spread it self. The new virus has been given the name "BOBEK",
this is the text you can read in the end of every infected tile.
Okay, here is what we know so far:
Archive name : ?
Archive size : ?
Virus name : BOBEK
Virus size : 460 bytes
Infection : dos.library ExNext
At this time no anti-virus program can find this new virus, so take big care out
there. We are right now testing a beta version of the anti-virus program
VirusExecutor, that will be able to find the virus and to remove it from memory.
If you find or have the installer for this virus, please send it to me.
