OnyxSoft: New and updated software
Here comes 1 new release and 4 updates, enjoy!
New:
- Program: NewWBPattern (Version 1.0)
Info: This is small tool to change the WB-background on-the-fly.
Updates:
- Program: GummiSurf (Version 1.2)
Info: Now supports the built-in download managers in all Amiga browsers (IBrowse, Voyager & AWeb)
Can export HTML and plain text-lists.
- Program: MultiRen (Version 1.54)
Info: * Added a function to the Adaptor tool so that is possible
to control what character the Adaptor should put the
lengthener character around when prolonging a filename.
* Now the filename length also displays the length of the
file comment (which cannot be more than 80 characters in
AmigaDOS).
The format is now <filename_length;comment_length> in the
window. Also, the file comment gets /italic/ in the main
lister if it exceeds 79 characters.
* Added the operator %t for use in the text export and file
comment generation tools. This stands for tab. Whenever a %t
is encountered a tab stop is set there which gets determind by
the longest string up to the %t. Many %t's can be used in an
export string. This way very nice columnized text files and
file comments can be produced!
* The memo list handling (in the RenPlacer, File Comment and
Text Export tools) now saves the memo lists immediately when
stored or removed if the checkmark in prefs is set. This makes
it easier to not forget to save then when quitting the proram
:)
* Updated the ID3-Tag plugin so that it always returns two
digits for the track number. F.ex. 01,02,03...10,11,etc
instead of 1,2,3...10,11 which makes it look nicer.
- Program: QuickSketch (Version 1.01)
Info: * The move draw area qualifiers Shift and Alt has now been
reduced to only work with RightShift and RightAlt.
* Because move has been restricted to Right Shift and Alt
it is now possible to use the LAlt+LAmiga+Cursor to draw
a straight line.
* + More fixes...
- Program: TheMPegEncGUI (Version 2.3)
Info: * Now it's possible to import CDDB/ACDB-files automatically
into the ID3-tags on files in the file list! (Yes I know
it's not full automatic CDDB-support but it's one step in the
right direction anyway:)) This means that you have to use
CDDB or ACDB to download the descriptions for your CD's, then
you can import these text-files in TheMPegEncGUI.
* Now also includes OggDec and OggPlay (ogg123) support.
* + More fixes...

Warp Datatypes V45.2 Released (Update)
After a long delay, the promised updates to all the Warp picture datatypes for 68k, WarpOS and MorphOS are finally here. To accompany the new release is the brand new WarpDT portal at http://www.warpdt.co.uk/ where you can keep up to date with the latest versions of the WarpDTs and download them all in one easy place.
Summary of changes since previous versions:
BMP/JPEG/PNG/TIFF: Minor optimizations and cleanups.
BMP/JPEG/PNG/TIFF: Bumped version to v45 since a stable release has
now been reached and to reflect the jump to shareware status
BMP: Fixed problems with decoding bitfield images
JPEG: Altered descriptor file to prevent it matching LhA or LZX
archives containing JPEG files (or anything else that might
contain a JFIF header, other than Photoshop files)
PNG: PNG files not containing enough data are no longer treated as a
fatal error. Now the part of the image that was successfully
decoded is returned.
PNG: Updated with libpng 1.2.5
PNG/TIFF: Updated with zlib 1.1.4
TIFF: Now correctly converts images using the YCbCr colourspace to RGB
TIFF: Added support for JPEG decompression
TIFF: Updated to libtiff 3.6.0-beta2, including a new version of the
LogLuv decoder, and numerous other bugfixes
Prefs: Various parts of code rewritten, in preparation for losing the
current reliance on resource.library
Prefs: Minor bugfixes
Prefs: Correct Polish and Portuguese documentation now included.
Update 06.07.2003:
Errornous timeouts bugfix (Version 45.2)
Unfortunately, due to last minute changes, I broke the timeout code
slightly - doh! This resulted in the datatypes producing timeout warnings
unnecessarily. Fixed versions of all 5 datatypes now in version 45.2
available. Apologies for any confusion caused.

Pictures of the OS4 tour in Göteborg by Niels Bache
Niels Bache has uploaded his pictures of Göteborg.
Remark of Niels Bache:
I have heard of some people that the new free server (frac.dk) which I use is not as fast
as desired. I ask for your patience and your insight because I can use this server as a
guest for free. I myself could not find out these problems and therefore I suppose that
the problem of speed happens only few times e.g. if much traffic is caused.
Please have another attempt to a different time if this happens.

Grasshopper LLC Lowers PageStream Prices
The American software company Grasshopper has lowered the price of their desktop publishing application "PageStream." The full
version is now available for 99 US dollars. Upgrades are now 40 US dollars. These prices are good for July, 2003 but may stay the
same thereafter, if possible.
New Low Pricing
Tuesday, July 1st - Grasshopper LLC announces today new low pricing
for PageStream on all platforms. "While the pricing is guaranteed only
through July, it is hoped that it will be warmly embraced by the
community and will be adopted then as our new permanent pricing",
said owner Marna Holt today. "Our move from a brick and mortar business
means lower costs and faster turn around times. We hope passing these
savings on to our customers will not only increase the already tremendous
value our customers get when buying PageStream, but hopefully increase
the number of customers and reach those who could previously not afford
PageStream." Near term plans include a revamped web site,
instant messaging with our sales staff, and a monthly online public chat
with Deron. PageStream now lists for $99 (from $299!!) and upgrades start
out at only $40.

Adventure Rendezvous: Interview with Ken Williams
The adventure-game focused online magazine "Adventure-Treff" has published an interesting German-language interview with Ken
Williams by Jan Schneider.
In 1979 Ken Williams founded Sierra On-Line and after that he led the firm for almost 20 years. Ken and his wife Roberta originated
the game genre now referred to as graphic adventures, and they were responsible for many of the best and most loved adventures
of all time, like for instance the Leisure Suit Larry and King's Quest and Space Quest series. Today Ken runs a forum with
SierraGamers, in which one may comment about Sierra. (nba) (Translation: dm)

Study: Online Shops Battle Trust Deficit
Around 50% of German websurfers avoid purchasing anything on the Internet. The main problem for most of them: they can't examine and test the products before buying. And very third person gets by without online purchases because they are satisfied with the goods of "real" stores.
The fear of someone stealing their personal data is another factor that stops surfers from buying. About 30% name this fear as a reason for why they have yet to purchase anything online. And every fifth person is worried that his bill will be incorrectly calculated and so he doesn't buy anything. These figures come from a current study "Internet Statistics of Consumers (IZV6)" done by the University of Karlsruhe and Mummert Consulting.
Online shops battle a trust deficit: Half of all German websurfers don't buy anything on the Internet. The principal reason for this, according to these surfers, is that they can't test the wares over the Internet. Every fourth purchase avoider doesn't trust the online stores because it might be hard to complain and return things. Almost every third fears for the protection of his data. The market share of online shoppers may rise if e-shops improve their service. About 28% don't buy online, because help and service aren't good enough.
It's easier for well known web-shops to win customers: about two thirds of online shoppers do most of their shopping by known merchants. Every fifth buys *exclusively* by known shops. And the general experience of Internet users with the Internet influences their purchasing attitude: the less experienced the surfer, the less he goes online shopping. Experienced users purchase 20% more stuff on the Internet than the unexperienced. (nba) (Translation: dm)

Genesi: Explanation of G4 Card Difficulties
According to a statement
of the Genesi leadership on MorphOS-News.de there's a hardware problem which means that less G4 cards will be produced for the Pegasos I, and even these will only be offered with corresponding boards as "matched sets." With respect to the complete utilization of the Altivec functionality of the G4: some boards work flawlessly, some boards not so well, at least not well enough to be sold.
In other Genesi news, QNX and Pascal have joined the effort to be ported to Pegasos. The latter is still popular in Eastern Europe and the former is the #1 embedded system OS.
Additionally Genesi would like to sell Linux Pegasoses with the G3 for a price of 499 euros at MicroWarehouse
or other merchants (without monitor but with Linux as well as MorphOS). Up to 25,000 units monthly may be produced on the fabrication lines at DCE. This price per unit might fall with an inverse correlation to the quantity of units (as more are produced, price per unit drops). The same thing applies if IBM comes to view it as a good strategy to help Genesi by doing the same with respect to CPU price. These machines will be available in October of this year.
As before, Pegasos I owners can upgrade for the price of 200 euros, but you've got to send in the board as well as the CPU card. (ps) (Translation: dm)

AmiZilla progress report
After DiscreetFX had announced that there is a money booty for porting the
web browser Mozilla to the Amiga (as reported) and Bill
Panagouleas set up an information site about the donation efforts, he sent us the following progress report:
- Current Booty: $4122.45
- New! SourceForge website setup to share/update codebase for
AmiZilla port.
- New! Offical URL for AmiZilla
- Mailinglist now has over 162 members and over 240 messages, most are about programming and porting Mozilla.
- AmiZilla website has gotten over 1 million hits since appearing on the famous unix geek website slashdot.
- AmiZilla continues to gather positive press for the Amiga and MorphOS by being covered on mainstream
websites like CNET's news.com,
mozillazine.org and
many others.
- Amiga Inc. representative Fleecy Moss has commented they like AmiZilla but will not contribute
to the Initiative because a port is also underway for MorphOS.
- New! AmiZilla poster "I Want You" by Eric Schwartz available in two sizes for webmasters that
want to promote AmiZilla on their site.
- New! AmiZilla Banner designed by Luca Ferraris.
- New! Female Russian artist hired to create mascot for MorphOS version of Mozilla port.
- New! Genesi and Phoenix Developer Consortium have been watching the project with great interest for
some time. and may contribute funds.
Keep in mind that the AmiZilla Project needs you to be successful. The booty is now over $4122,
which is a impressive amount of money for an Amiga project. If only one programmer was working on
the port this would be a nice reward. However several programmers are working together. Once the
money is split among coders the booty is not big enough. Please contribute if you can, every dollar
helps motivate programmers to make the AmiZilla Project a success. After the release of AmiZilla more
projects are being developed like Hot CoCo (JVM) and F Gordon (Flash). The development and launch of
these add-ons to AmiZilla depend on the success of that project. Paypal donations can be sent in via
this weblink.
About AmiZilla
The goal of the AmiZilla effort is to raise such an obscene/huge amount of money to give away to the
first programmer/team that can port Mozilla to Amiga/Compatible systems that programmers will be
falling over themselves getting this application coded in record time.
About DiscreetFX
DiscreetFX has been creating software products for the Amiga, video editing & computer generated
graphics (CGI) industry since 1995. The Amiga computer defined and created the video editing,
computer graphics market with its birth in 1985. DiscreetFX creates Real-time transitions and effects

Report: Pegasos in Leipzig
Several interested persons have seen the presentation of the Pegasos in Leipzig at the booth of the "CCLS e.V." last weekend.
Erhard Bruse gives a brief overview about the presentation:
Even by chance met informatics students from India were interested in MorphOS and the Pegasos. The Sunday was owed to the Pegasos and Linux.
Micha Heider successfully did first tests with his image installer and a backup/recovery by using a hard disk image as well as an
installation of Mandrake Linux to the Pegasos. The recovery took with a 4 GB partition about 10 minutes.
During the next days there will be further information and some pictures and screen shots of Mandrake running on the Pegasos
put to the website of Micha Heider which is to reach by the title link.

Development of SBase4Pro
Russ Norrby of Mr. Hardware Computers, the owners of the "SBase4Pro"-rights (formerly known as "SuperBase 4 Pro"), reports at Amiga.org:
"SBase4Pro can now be compiled with the GCC. This puts us into the position
to provide PPC versions - for example for the AmigaOne.
The current version is v1.36 from April 2000. SBase4Pro is
a very powerful and flexible multi-relational data base. Some of our own
products were made using SBase, for example Retail Escort and Video Escort.
At present we are working on many improvements, for example on HTML outputs or
the possibility to lock files.

Pictures from Amiga Show in Maarssen, NL
Martin Heine was nice enough to provide us with some meaningful
pictures from the
Amiga Show which took place
yesterday in Maarssen in Holland.
The photos were taken by Ron van Herk.
The event was well attended with more than 100 visitors. Genesi presented the
Video Microwave, the prototype of an STB case already known from the CeBIT and
of course the Pegasos with MorphOS in action. On four Pegasos computers as well
as an Debian equipped AmigaOne the visitors could form their own impression of
the current state of the two systems. Furthermore beta versions of Bars'n'Pipes
and FotoFoto for MorphOS were shown. The possibility to buy Pegasos boards at
the ComputerCity stall was also made use of. Furthermore the Access was shown
as well as Amiga merchandising goods such as the game "Amiopoly", Amiga antenna
balls for cars and mugs and T-Shirts from the OS4 tour.
