Merregnon Team


Merregnon 2 - project finished!
After more than three years of development, the Merregnon 2 project is finished! The album is due to be released on 2004/05/24 in Germany.

You can pre-order your CD at shops like Amazon.de, Buch.de or Rollenspiele-shop right away, or purchase your CD at your local shop. If you live outside of Germany please refer to Music by Design Ltd. and synSoniq Records. It has been quite a journey for us, and I want to thank all of the people who are interested in our CD and have supported us with kind and helpful feedback throughout its development. We are very proud of what we have achieved, combining live orchestra music, performed by members of the Prague Symphony and the New York Philharmonic; Nine composers from all over the world who provided us with their own fantastic music, 80 minutes of the finest pieces; and six artists who painted a beautiful 28 pages booklet, telling the story of Merregnon. The work has been intense for everybody. The production required a lot of skill and ambition. (sn)

Due to copyright obligations those are not allowed to be longer than one movie chapter (an average DVD contains about 20 - 30 chapters). Thus, it is not possibe to rip of an entire DVD!

The trailers will be saved in DIVX-5 format to any storage media. The program offers preferences for the trailer quality, duration, language, camera perspective and frame size.

Required is:
  • mencoder in MOSSYS:C

  • rexxtricks
  • triton.library
  • ARexx
  • Pegasos II G4/1000 (50% speed of a real time encoder at quality level 8)

Amiga Java: Status report from "JAmiga"
The JAmiga project has released a short status report:

"JAmiga status report May 2004

it's been a long time since our last status report and things have become very quiet around JAmiga. However, a lot of work was done in the background. We have meanwhile ported JAmiga so that it can be compiled with gcc which will open up chances to compile it for other platforms. While being a major task, for most users no difference between the StormC and gcc version will be visible.

We are planning to release a new version with the classpath 0.09 fairly soon, once all classpath-changes have been properly reflected within JAmiga. Eventually, you may be able to use a few AWT gadgets by then, but no promise about that :)

New JAmiga Forum

We now have our "own" Forum on www.jamiga.org which may be used for chitchat, discussions, requests, etc.

First donation arrived

Only a few days ago, we have received our first donation -100 EUR- wow. Thank you very much! We have therefore decided to put up bounties for certain tasks....

Bounty for ZIP File reader

This bounty is endowed with EUR 50. It will go to the person that writes a ZIP Reading "JavaStream" class. Please see our Forum or contact us if you're willing to help!

best regards,

Your JAmiga Team" (cg)

Computer City: Chance to pick up orders in Essen / Image-Installer V2 production
Although Computer City is not an exhibitor at the Essen OS4 event, we will attend as visitors. Therefore, any orders placed before Friday the 14th can be taken with us (when in stock of course) and picked up at the event. Let's call it the "Computer City Trunk-Sale" :-)

As a sidenote, the Image Installer V2 production has now (finally) started and all ordered copies are shipping early next week. Of course, the Image Installer V2 CD and DVD editions can also be ordered and picked up at the OS4 event, where you will have the possibility for a 'meet and greet' with the Image Installer team themselves!

Intel announces Dual-Core-Processor for desktop-computers
Intel has announced a desktop processor with Dual-Core for 2005. The planned Pentium-4-Prescott successor with codename Tejas will be not produced. The company has not given any statement if this means the end for the Pentium-4-architecture; but it is more likely that Intel turns to the Pentium-M-architecture that does not need so much current.

PC Magazine: John C. Dvorak mentioned AmigaOS 4.0
On issue from 4th May 2004 John C. Dvorak mentioned in US-American PC Magazine on page 65 after MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported) also AmigaOS 4.0 and called the competition between the two PPC operating systems as possible lucky chance for the desktop computers.

He wrote: "Amiga Not Dead Yet Dept.: When I wrote about the MorphOS initiative, essentially a clean-room redesign of the Amiga OS for the PowerPC, I failed to mention that there is still a lively pure-amiga crowd that is developing a new OS for a PowerPC iteration of the original Amiga. OS4's implementation should modernize and perhaps revitalize the platform. A competition between these two camps could be the best thing to happen to desktop computing in decades."
