Textviewer: EvenMore Version 0.59
The freeware-textviewer 'EvenMore' has been published in version 0.59.
With the plugins it is now possible to convert HTML to text.
Download: EvenMore.lha (585 KB)
Recent history:
- Removed messy filetyping code. Created a plugin which allows filetyping, which can be easily changed using a textfile.
- Created basic HTML2Text plugin.
- Created a Linux manual to tex conversion plugin.
- Updated all plugins with an extra PROC, em_begin(). This is used as a pre-parse PROC, and is needed to tell EvenMore if it is necessary to create a new memory space for the file if the resulting contents from the plugin will be bigger than the original. Older plugins will no longer work properly!
- Thanks to Raul Silva for the português catalog!

DVD Press Release on "Black List" Start
The German Vereinigung für Datanschutz e.V (consortium for data protection), short
DVD, together with many experts from the fields of IT security and data protection
found out that users of websites often got forced to use cookies, JavaScript or ActiveX,
because there's no alternative version available.
That's why from now on the DVD publishes a
black list
as an official directory of such addresses.
"Offerors who cannot tolerate that users want to decide about their security settings
on their machines indepentently, should ask themself if they realy are set up for the Internet
future. Who thinks to have to punish users for their conscience of security by withholding
his pages from those, did not understand what e-commerce and online services actually are
about", said Karin Schuler, member of the DVD steering committee. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Editor: CED PPC 4.21b for MorphOS
This is the official MorphOS PPC port of CygnusEd Professional 4.21.
You need a properly installed MorphOS release as well as the original
CygnusED 4 CDROM to install the PowerPC port, the 68k version of the
program won't be modified. After installation you can still use the 68k
version of CygnusEd if you plan to install it on the same partition.
The updated ed frontend automatically detects if it's run under MorphOS
or AmigaOS and uses the proper CygnusEd main binary. Please note that
you need the original CygnusEd4 CDROM to apply this patch/ppc update.
It is available from various sources including Schatztruhe.
Fixes: Current directory is now correct if launched from WB, the -keepio
and -sticky arguments now work properly & printing shouldn't crash
anymore.

Emulator: SDL extension for UAE
With the extension which is available at the title link the
Amiga emulator UAE can now use the SDL library for graphics
output under Linux.
SDL stands for Simple DirectMedia Layer. The SDL library is
a cross platform library and offers functions for graphics and
sound output as well as querying input devices.
The version modified for UAE currently only works under Linux,
but there are some benefits from using SDL:
- It's now possible to use UAE in fullscreen mode as a normal
user.
- The emulator can now be used directly on the console (with
activated framebuffer), e.g. without X-Windows.

Game: New Demo-Engine for SOMS available
The new demo engine is better and faster, furthermore graphics have been
enhanced and according to
Silvio Kurze contains sound now, too.
SOMS is about an action adventure like never before released for the Amiga. Action
devotees well be have fun with the about 100 different enemies, numerous screen filling
final enemies and extended levels as well, especially if they get supported by 20
configurable weapons and the same amount of spells!
If the adventure devotee gets horrored by the above, it is to say that combats can be avoided
by cleverness, if you deal with the numerous puzzles.
Also the role game devotees, disliking the minimal possiblities to equip the characters in
action games, can knock down satisfyed! The variety starts with free naming of the 4 main
characters, goes thru the continuous enhancement of features and capabilities of your own
character, the detailed multiple-choice dialogs with about 100 persons, the sophisticated weapon system,
thru the 10 characters with own tactics, views and goals of life joining the force one by one.

Chaos Computer Club: Censorship is being done
A provider from Nordrhein-Westfalen (German county) starts to block Internet sites.
In some sort of hurrying obedience at least one Internet provider in Düsseldorf (Germany),
the ISIS company, has constricted access to several Internet sites
by changing the DNS entry on the ISIS name server. Yesterday, the Chaos Computer Club got aware
of this censorship effort.
On a hearing of the county government of Düsseldorf with diverse
Internet providers it was discussed by what means providers would be able to
block access to diverse outlandish websites,
[1].
This was in main about sites spreading radical right-wing content, but also
rotten.com, specialized to collect more
or less tastily picture material from the Internet, was condsidered to be dignified to
be censored. Rotten.com quote thier extreme photo collection, among other of
of casualties, as serious dealing with the manor of freedom of speech.
Philipp Schulte of CCC Düsseldorf in view of this faint-hearted censorship effort said:
"It is to assume that the still very short list of objectionable websites will increase very much in
the future and other providers will follow the example of censorship outrider ISIS".
To use a different name server appears to be a work-around for customers. eg.
194.246.96.49 (dns2.denic.de), 194.246.96.25 (dns3.denic.de), 194.25.2.131 (dns02.btx.dtag.de).
The Chaos Computer Club's considered opinion is that censorship by technical means
is not a suitable way to handle content supposed to be problematic. "The massive restriction
of the citizens in exercising their freedom of opinion is beyond the pale", added Jens Ohlig, CCC speaker.
Though the hearing of the county government in Düsseldorf on November 13 ended 'result open', according
to numerous particitpants, customers of those providers, who are in hurrying obedience complyed with the governments
suggestions, on access to several sites instead of the original notes receive an 'informer form'
[2]
to announce Internet sites thought to be problematic
to the county government NRW.
The county government's approach to filter the Internet offers and by this to attempt to
establish censorship is a critical step into the wrong direction in the opinion of the Chaos Computer Club .
"Instead of establishing technical filters, which reconcilableness with the constitutional law at least is
questionable and which technical implementation is easy to avoid anyway, the government authorities
rather should focus their efforts to sponsor the loom of media competences. More important than
technical methods would it be to emerge a social immunity for content thought to be problematic", added
Andy Müller-Maguhn, club speaker, to the club's statement. [3]
To what extent other companies in NRW followed the suggestions of the county government, without
being legally bound to, is being reviewed. (ps) (Translation: mj)

This
is the first in this series of tutorials concerned with writing programs
for Tao's intent media environment. This series assumes that you have
read the
first series on VP coding
at this site
(even the tutorials I have not written yet!) or at least have a
basic knowledge of VP coding.

SharkPPC is not a development of ELBOX?!
On Sunday 18th of November in 2001 on the VGR-sites (title link) a very interesting news message has been published: The SharkPPC which was introduced by ELBOX at the fair is supposed to be nothing more than a relabeled Sonnet PPC-card.
If you will have a look at the Sonnet-product site it will confirm it.
Accordingly ELBOX has not developed "its" SharkPPC for itself. Therefore the introduction of the SharkPPC+ (which is supposed to have IDE-controller, AGP-slot and USB) can be doubted.

Hyperion: Warp3D support for Permedia 3 and ATI Radeon
Hyperion Entertainment has entered into an agreement with third parties
to ensure Permedia 3 and ATI Radeon support for Warp3D, effectively
doubling the number of supported chipsets.
"We are thrilled to be able to open up ever more possibilities to users
of Amiga PCI busboards", says Ben Hermans, managing partner of Hyperion
Entertainment. "The Permedia 3 is around 6 times faster than the
Permedia 2 and offers a lot more functionality including full OpenGL
compliance. The chipset is still frequently used in high-end 3D
workstations. The ATI Radeon family is undeniably state of the art with
well-rounded 2D performance and top-notch 3D performance that is on par
with anything out there in the Wintel world. Support for the Radeon
family will allow Amiga users to enjoy unrivalled performance and
functionality."
More details will be disclosed in the upcoming weeks.

Hyperion Entertainment brings 3D graphics to PDA's
Hyperion Entertainment is very pleased to announce that it has finalised
an initial version of its "Warp3D" technology, a mature, small foot-print,
feature-rich yet very fast 3D solution for ElateTM/ Amiga DETM based
devices.
Warp3D allows content-creators to effortlessly deploy 3D graphics on
low-end devices such as PDA's, web-tablets and 3G phones and is the
product of years of development in response to concrete performance
challenges and 3D technology.
Hyperion intends to showcase the Warp3D technology by producing several
PDA oriented games.
"A lot of the PDA content we are seeing now is a throw-back to the
earlier days of entertainment software and whilst this is not necessarily
a bad thing, we do believe that users would like to enjoy sophisticated
3D content on these devices as well. Our contract-work for LithTech Inc.
also means we were able to incorporate extensive research and expertise
in the field of software rendering which resulted in one of the fastest
software renderers in the industry - the only viable solution on a non
3D-accelerated PDA. Add to that a highly optimised subset of OpenGL which
is nonetheless capable of running industry-standard 3D engines like Quake
IITM and LithTechTM and you have a piece of very compelling technology
indeed."
Warp3D was already successfully field-tested on the SH3 powered version
of Sharp's Zaurus PDA and is due for imminent release.
The technology will remain in continuous development and will be
licensed to interested parties.
For the complete press release see title link.

Update for our show report
Since I did not talked to Titan Computer on the show, I called Michael Garlich, today, to
be able to add the news from Titan Computer. The details described below have been added to
the show report (title link):
Highlight at the booth of Titan Computer
was a video cut software "Motion Studio" for MorphOS capable of reading DV format.
The development of the software is expected to be released along with the Pegasos board by
bplan. It was presented with a beamer what the video cut software already can do.
Unfortunately it is not possible to port the software to AmigaOS, due to firwire being required.
More applications under development:
The office package "Papyrus" was finished at 90% for MorphOS and is to be ported to
the AmigaOS 4.0 later on.
Candy Factory II, software to create vidoe titles, logos, and web images for MophOS.
The created pictures can be imported by MotionStudio using an interface.
A MorphOS version of Burn-IT Pro (DVD burning software) was presented.
Said to be finished until April 2002.
Games under development:
Beside of the above mentioned applications Titan Computer is developing two new
games, too. "Rage Hard" is a 3D multiplayer shooter similar to Counterstrike. This game
is being developed for MorphOS and the new Amigas. "Alien Nations" is another game
for MorphOS and AmigaOS (PPC) under development, a build-up strategy game similar to Settlers.
Titan Comuter will port their current software product line to MorphOS, as much titles as possible.

AMIGA 2001: Gleanings by amiga-news.de (Update III)
The show AMIGA 2001,
which took place on 17th and 18th November 2001, was organized by
Falke Media
and was held at the Mediapark 6 in Cologne, Germany, on about 718 sq.yd.
exhibition space. By our count there were about 1,000 visitors on the show,
consuetudinary most of them came on Saturday.
bplan GmbH - Pegasos-System
Very much interesting was the first official presentation of the run capable Pegasos
machine by the bplan GmbH, utilizing
the operating system MorphOS.
Gerald Carda presented a test program to us which displayed plasma effects.
Unaccelerated (about the speed of 68050/50) this program generates 4 pictures per second (FPS).
The same program compiled for MorhpOS generates 192 FPS.
Thomas Knäbel and Gerald Carda told us about a number of between 100 and 200 developer
systems to be available from early January 2002. Interested developers might register using a
registration page at
bplan, before long. If there will be more registrations
than boards available, it will be selected by progam priority. The developers should send bug reports,
if there will occur problems.
Machines for end-users will follow about 8 - 12 weeks later. Those machines will cost about 1,000 Euro and
are planned to be delivered with the following equipment:
- 8 MB AGP graphic board
- 128 MB RAM
- DVD Drive
- 20 GB HD
- Mouse and Keyboard
The interesting point of MorhpOS for sure is, that existing PPC programs can be started
directly on this system. Companies like Titan-Computer and Epic interactive will extensively
adapt their programs to this system.
Haage&Partner - Amiga OS XL
Amiga OS XL,
the new super-fast Amiga emulators for x86 machines were presented on three
different computers at Haage&Partner.
The speed is impressing and faszinating at the same time.
Amiga OS XL consists of two emulator systems: AMIthlon and Amiga XL for QNX in a
bundle. The emulators are similar to each other in many parts, but there are basic
differences, too. With this prevalent Amiga 68k applications run 10 - 20 times faster on
current PC hardware than on a convetional 68060 systems. This tremendous speed is
achieved by a modified and accelerated emulator. With it one gets versions of PageStream,
ImageFX, ArtEffect, Cinema4D, Real3D, and any other program fast like turbo.
Haage&Partner's highlight is a x86 machine built into a luxury computer case of noble
design and with Amiga OS XL installed. The body of the computer was made of aluminium,
the front side is of azure plastic.
While talking to H&P they appeared to be surprised by the allmost all-time positive
visitors' response and amazed at the still great demand for information, though there have
been many press releases before. Sales could have been better, but satisfied.
Hyperion - AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC
Without doubt the most interesting thing on the second day of the show was our talk to
Ben Hermans, Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden of
Hyperion Entertainment about
AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. It was determined and safe by contract that Hyperion will develop
AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. Aspired term of completion of an initial distributing version is
February 2002. This distributing version still will have parts of 68k code, which will be
handed in later by BoingBag updates when finished.
Hyperion will work together with bplan to make the AmigaOS 4.0 PPC running
on the Pegasos machine. Hyperion additionally talked to many other hardware
and software developers to make their products compatible, too. This gave a very positive sign,
because after a long period of time a joint line and goal is being followed, again.
Titan Computer - Update 20. November.2001
Highlight at the booth of Titan Computer
was a video cut software "Motion Studio" for MorphOS capable of reading DV format.
The development of the software is expected to be released along with the Pegasos board by
bplan. It was presented with a beamer what the video cut software already can do.
Unfortunately it is not possible to port the software to AmigaOS, due to firwire being required.
More applications under development:
The office package "Papyrus" was finished at 90% for MorphOS and is to be ported to
the AmigaOS 4.0 later on.
Candy Factory II, software to create vidoe titles, logos, and web images for MophOS.
The created pictures can be imported by MotionStudio using an interface.
A MorphOS version of Burn-IT Pro (DVD burning software) was presented.
Said to be finished until April 2002.
Games under development:
Beside of the above mentioned applications Titan Computer is developing two new
games, too. "Rage Hard" is a 3D multiplayer shooter similar to Counterstrike. This game
is being developed for MorphOS and the new Amigas. "Alien Nations" is another game
for MorphOS and AmigaOS (PPC) under development, a build-up strategy game similar to Settlers.
Titan Comuter will port their current software product line to MorphOS, as much titles as possible.
DCE - G-REX
Thomas Dellert and Michael Göken of DCE
presented the PCI busboard G-Rex working in an A4000 with Cyberstrom 604/68060 and AmigaOS 3.9
as well as WarpUP.
An USB card for mouse and keyboard, a Voodoo graphic board (3/3000), a WIN-TV card with
radio tuner, and a sound card (Terratec 512i) were working on the PCI board. There are many good
reasons for this solution: Graphic speed, wheel mouse and multimedia keyboard, support of the USB
card, 100 MBit network card can be connected; all in all it became possible to use cheap generic PC hardware
by the PCI busboard G-Rex. The board is being offerd for A4000D/T and A1200.
Elbox - Mediator
Elbox presented their Mediator system.
The following models were shown:
- Mediator PCI ZIV
- Mediator PCI 1200
- Mediator PCI 4000
- Shark PPC G3/G4
Again the reasons mentioned regarding DCE match here. With help of a PCI busboard it is possible
to use cheap PCI hardware for various purposes.
Other Hardware-Products
Jens Schönfeld of Individual Computers
showed us a pre-run model of the interface card VarioIO, which will be available before
Christmas, already.
Basing on a Logitech 2 button mouse Schönfeld developed a real Amiga / Atari mouse.
Also this production will start next days.
Thorsten Hansen of Kato Development
showed us the prototype of the Melody successor. This card will have the functions of
the Melody card plus the following specialities:
- MP3 audio not only can be decoded in real-time, but also encoded.
- Analog mixer function.
- Digital in/out (optical / coaxial)
Michael Böhmer showed his
USB controller Subway with which you can connect prevalent USB devices to the clock port of the
A1200. Up to four devices can be use without an additional USB hub. VMC started to develop drivers, already.
Currently drivers for mouse and keyboard are available. Drivers for printers, digital cameras, and scanners
are scheduled.
Other Software-Products
Amiga Forever 5.0
Michael Battilana of Cloanto
presented the new
Amiga Forever 5.0.
Amiga Forever is about an official licensed Amiga emulator package for Windows and
other platforms. Just put the CD into the drive, click on the icon and it runs. Eight different
emulation programs, all of the required Kickstart ROMs, Workbenchs, licenses, as well
as an all-around package with useful Amiga sofware are included.
Due to the implemented JIT compiler (just-in-time) version 5.0 is about
30 time faster than
Amiga Forever 4. The emulator comes on a CD containing the famous video
"The Deathbed Vigil" (1 h, 59 min.) and the video
"Jay Miner Speech" (49 min.).
But Amiga Forever 5.0 is available for download as online version, too.
epic interactive - THE FEEBLE FILES
epic announce THE FEEBLE FILES
for the Amiga. This game is about a cartoon adventure. Beside of the MorphOS port
there also will be an AmigaOS verison. The Amiga version will be available as
entirely localized versions in Engish and German (voice output). An Amiga with 4 MB graphic
board, 68060 or PPC, and at least 32 MB RAM is required.
Development of the Amiga version already started and epic hopes to be able
to deliver the finished product already before Christmas 2001.
Descent:Freespace
Hyperion
showed the new game Descent-Freespace. This game is about a
space shooter. The Amiga port of Freespace was finished at 99% and
will be available as 68k (with 3D hardware only) and PPC version from
H&P, soon. Those who ordered the game on the show got a free
demo CD for testing at home, already.
Project Crashsite
Markus Pohlmann (program) and Denis Comtesse (music)
are busy developing the science fiction role game
Project Crashsite.
The place of action in this game is a colonialized second system consiting
of two moons. The player takes the part of the "Future Security Corps" which
is the system's police.
The game's goal is to stabilize the unstable situation of this system. This is not easy to achieve,
due to a big conspiracy defering the relation of potency. The player is sent into the game almost
without any background information about the conspiracy to make him choose "pal and enemy"
himself, because depending on his choice the game becomes easier or more difficult.
Currently four people are working on this game, thus it is not possible to
announce some date of comlpetion at the time being.
PuzzleBOBS
In cooperation with Emanuele Cesaroni of Nexus Development
the Amiga Arena
and Fun Time World present the game in
partnership. PuzzleBOBS is about a "Bust´n Move"
clone. From now on a demo version is available on
http://www.funtime-world.de/puzzle.html
or from the support page at the Amiga Arena.
Technical backgrounds:
- PuzzleBOBS is completely configurable.
- Screenmode (AGA / OCS / ECS / Picasso96 or CyberGraphX compatible graphic boards).
- Bitplanes: up to 16- and 24Bit screens.
- Playable in three languages (German, Italian, English)
- Playable from HD, full or partly installation (min. 14 MB)
- Written in 100% assembler
- Import of own levels and sounds.
Backgrounds, bubbles, object speed, music and sound effects, explosion style,
and masses of other little things, as well, can be configured to match your own personal desire.
The game was programmed to allow different bubbles to have different characteristics.
There are bubbles that bounce back form walls, which of course simplifies severity. The
game runs in full multitasking on it's own screen or in a window on the Workbench.
When the game's window becomes inactive the game automatically turns to sleep mode,
which is a special feature to let you continue your work on the Workbench. In sleep mode
even every audio channel and colour palette get's released.
Miscellaneous
GGS Data - Amiga Show
Gunne Steen of the Swedish vendor GGS Data
informed us about an Amiga show in Göteborg, Sweden, planned to take place on
2. March 2002 (maybe also on 3. March 2002). The respective
website will be online in about seven days. Comanies and
user groups are heartily invited to attend the show as exhibitors.
Psyria - Music
Dennis Lohr gave us a CD on the show on which he eternalized his trance song for amiga-news.de. This song
also is available for download:
Amiga News Theme
(ca. 7 MB). Again thank you very much to Dennis for taking the trouble to create this song. This realy is a privilege to us!
Annex - Music
Daniel Schulz of Annex
assured us that the music group, known by several Amiga songs, still is alive.
Meantime many new pices of music were recored, extracts can be downloaded
as MP3.
Still the vocals are missing, because the band still is searching for a female singer.
She should have been singing in a band before, come from the dance/trance field, and
live in the Rhein-Main area (Germany). Interessted singers might contact
Daniel Schulz (include a demo if possible).
Two maxi-singles with three songs on each and maybe a long-player with all songs are
planned.
Virtual Dimension
The crew of Virtual Dimension
did many interviews and took many pictures for their show video. The video
is estimated to be published before Christmas.
Furthermore Virtual Dimension introduced the round and text basing space game
StarEmpire II
by Christian Becker . Up to 32 players are possible.
Airbrush Paradise Tingler
Rolf Tingler prettified diverse things with
different motives. Of course mainly motives with BoingBalls were desired. Starting from cell phones
thru Swiss pocket knives everything got "boinged" with airbrush technic.
Upshot:
Interesting hard- and software solutions were presented. There was good mood on the show
and intensive discussing everywhere. However, it is to be said that in spite of all those
innovations and in spite of the positive signs some certain questions were left without an
answer, cause neither Amiga Inc. nor Eytech or Escena attended the show. Thats where descriptions
regarding the plans of Amiga Inc. for the AmigaOne are required.
Finally one discerning word regarding the organization. The corridors along the
"focal points" on the upper floor were way to narrow. Occasionally there were such
big crowd that it was hard to get to the booths.
Christoph Dietz, Petra Struck as well as Meike Hilke (photos) were on the show for
amiga-news.de.

CD³²-/CDTV-Emulator: Screenshots of 'Akiko'
New screenshots of the Akiko emulator were just released
on the Airsoft Softwair web site.
Akiko emulates CD32 and CDTV systems under the Windows operating
system. Akiko is a Shareware emulator and can be ordered
now. A public demo version will be made available in near
future. If you order Akiko now, you'll get the latest
beta version which already runs most of the CD32/CDTV games.
The released screenshots show the now much more flexible
GUI and the CD audio player of the CD32 and CDTV.

AMIGA 2001: Pre-report 2. day by amiga-news.de
The most interesting of the second day of the show without doubt was our talk to
Ben Hermans, Thomas and Hans-Joerg Frieden of Hyperion Entertainment about
AmigaOS 4.0 for PPC. It is fixed by contract that Hyperion will develop AmigaOS 4.0
for PPC. Aspired date for completion is February 2002.
Hyperion will cooperate with bplan, to let the AmigaOS 4.0 PPC run on the Pegasos
machine, too. Additionally Hyperion talked to many other hardware and software
developers to keep their product compatible, too. This set a very positive
sign, cause after a long time a corporate line and goal is being followed, again.

AMIGA 2001: IRC conferences with Nerding and Garlich (Update)
English logfiles of the IRC conferences with Markus Nerding from Haage&Partner and Michael Garlich from Titan are available now. The log from Nerdings chat has been published on ANN, he answers questions about AmigaOS XL, AmigaOS V4.0, and H&P's work within those projects.
The log of Michael Garlich's chat has been provided to us by Jürgen 'Antibike' Lucas, Garlich answers questions about MorphOS, Pegasos, and the projects of Titan:
Amiga2001: Hello Michael
Titan: Hello Guys
Nico4k: Micheal, Could please describe your plans about MorphOS/Bplan ?
Nico4k: Plan = project if you prefer
Titan: Yes of course we have presented 4 new products for Morphos / Bplan e.g. Papyrus Office and
Nico4k: For example will Papyrus be ported on MorphOs ?
Nico4k: ok
Titan: and the new videosoft Motionstudio which support DV Video
Titan: and we have also presented Rage Hard a new multiplayer tactic shooter
Nico4k: Well, you said on MorphOS ML what there will something to connect an Amiga floppy drive on Bplan made by third part, Could you give more detail ?
Nico4k: Titan sound like great news
Titan: Yes, this connecter will be able to read write "old" Amiga DD and HD Floppydisc
Nico4k: to connect an "Amgia" drive or to use old disk with the Bplan one
Nico4k: Where it will connected on the motherboard ?
Titan: to connect an "old" Amiga drive may be later also PC-Floppy with modifications too
zacman: hi michael. do you plan to release your software together with the pegasos start or already before? and are there plans for bundeling your software with pegasos?
Titan: Nico4k there is a floppy connector for PC Floppys on the Bplan mainboard
Titan: zacman: Together with the sales start on Feb/March 2002
Burman: Titan Do you know anything about support for Newtek VideoToaster/Flyer HW. (PCI-card)...?
Titan: Burman: we have asked Newtek but nothing is clear atm it will take some further negotations ga
djnick: Hi Titan will there be newer / improved versions of Fantastic Dreams?
Titan: djnick: Yes this will be released later in 2002 ga
ID4: Titan Are you planign a game like QIII Arena?
Titan: ID4: We will release a pre-video of Rage Hard take a look and you will enjoy it :) ga
Bifford: hi there ;-) what sort of speeds can we expect from pegasos? in normal operation and in real-time with cpu hungry things like 3d graphics
Titan: Bifford: This really depends on the used CPU we think for DV Videoediting a 500 G4 is the minimum. ga
Nico4k: As you devellop for MorphOS/bPlan, I suppose you already use it on Bplan, So how does it work ? (sorry for all this MOS related question but I want to konw)
Titan: Nico4k It runs really good we are sadisfied with the support of the MOrphos Team. ga
AlphaFoX: hi Titan, two questions: 1. do you know if there will be an 'AGA-on-a-Card' for the Pegasos? 2. Will
Titan: port its software also to AmigaOS 4.x if available? GA
Titan: AlphaFoX: AGA card is atm not longer in development but if there is more demand we can think about such a solution
Titan: Regarding AmigaOS 4 we have nothing heard from Amiga no specs no hardware nothing simply. We cant say we will support it if we have no information at all. Ga
Bifford: do u have any other projects on the go atm (hard or software) or is it strictly MOS/pegasos ?
Titan: Bifford: we concentrate on what is available now this is Morphos and Pegasos ga
zacman: what graphics card do you recommend for games like Rage Hard? Do you know if it is correct that bplan has contacts to nvidia?
Titan: zacman: I cant commend this atm :) ga
Zarf: is RS on the show? ga :)
Titan: Zarf: No but Frank Mariak was here ga
TheFab: Titan hi, do you plan to develop new softare or buy license (like old software like lightwave...)
Titan: TheFab: new and licencing too. E.g. AlienNations and Majesty
ID4: Titan Will you software run on Elbox SharkPPC?
Titan: ID4: We are open to support everyone who wants Morphos. If Elbox support theMorphos team with hardware then there will be also a SharkPPC version ga
Zefram_: what is the maximum cpu speed we can expect on Pegasos, 1Ghz ?
Titan: Zefram_: its upto 2GHz atm but higher clockrate are also possible ga
zacman: isn't AlienNations and Majesty licensed by hyperion?
Titan: zacman: No Hyperion has not licenced AlienN or Majesty.
Titan: owns this licence ga
Zefram_: What will are the graphics cards drivers available for Pegasos, Matrox ?
Titan: Zefram_: In a few weeks there will be update on Morphos.de with all supported Gfx-boards. ga
Nico4k: Do you think Bplan will be able to release Pegasos in February/March 2001? Not a vapor this time ? (I have been so disppointed by previous project: AmigaNG, A1). Ps: A MOS/Bplan related question again ... But who do not believe that this time is the good one ...
Titan: Nico4k Bplan will make a pre-release before christmas 2001 and the main release is trageted for March 2002. ga
Titan: Zefram_: The morphos 3d api is NOT rave ga
Nico4k: Pre-release means Developper release ?
Titan: Nico4k Also for normal customers but there is only a limited stock of boards available. ga
AmiGR: Could you enlight us about which 3d api will be used?
Titan: AmiGR: Sorry atm not, please wait for the next official Morphos press release ga
JoeAFUA: Titan So will we be able to pre-order for the pre-release boards? If yes, when?
Titan: JoeAFUA: Take a look on the bplan website there will be an "order" form. ga
ID4: Titan nowdays.. What are your contacs with Amiga Inc?
Titan: ID4: we are in touch with Amiga but they follow different ways atm. We will see if we can cooparate in future or not. ga
Zefram_: Will it be possible to place a pre-order from local dealers ?
Titan: Zefram_: No, only direct from Bplan ga
darklite: will you only support morphos, or also os4? ga
Titan: darklite: We have no information about AmigaOS4 therefore i cant say yes or no . ga
ID4: Titan THANKS !!!! From me no more questions, I hope the best for your bussines ;)
Titan: ID4: Thanks. ga
Nico4k: Will Pegasos be shit with screen, keyboard, Hard drive, Or will it be possible to buy only the Motherboard ?
Amiga2001: ship instead of shit ;-)
Titan: Nico4k shit ??? ;)) Yes it will be shipped as complete system too this will be a g3 350, 128MB ram, gfx-board,hD and DVD-drive ga
Zefram_: Will there be a Pegasos motherboard with more than 3 PCI slots ?
Titan: Nico4k and motherboard only is also available .ga
Titan: Zefram_: Yes there is a adaptor for 4 slots available.
Nico4k: Are all drivers ready (I mean for internal ethernet, audio, USB ???)
Titan: Nico4k a lot of drivers are already finished but some are still in development. ga
Amiga2001: more questions?
Nico4k: Will we show amazing think on Bplan at the show like Divx movie ?
Titan: Nico4k We have shown DV editing on the show. DIVX is also possible but was not presented. ga
Amiga2001: Ok Guys, Michael has to go
Amiga2001: thx Michael

Game: New adventure game under development, nostalgica all around Space Rat
Marcel Rohles wrote:
Who did not fell for the adventures of old tradition in the style of
Lucas Arts or Sierra?
Probably nobody can exculpate himself from this. Everyone of us once was
bound to this fever to free Guybrush from an embarrassing situation, just to
see him stumbling right into the next one.
But, what has happened to this? What about the adventure genre? Does it
have to be 3D all the time?
If you are able to unhesitant and in peace of conscience say no to the latter question,
I recommend the page about 'Space-Rat Tukult'
warmly to you.
Yes, it's true - Space Rat will come back. A mind-blowing combination of
classic adventure game and Ziggy, the Space Rat, which enriched the ASM until lastly.
By some kind words certainly the team would be willing to develop for the Amiga, too.
The news of November 17 already question that, for example.
Last but not least I would like to cite the Tukult team, for I even wasn't able to say
it better: 'So, if you also belong to those people grown up with rubber chicken with snap-hooks
underside and jerrycans on Mars, it is to say that you've discoverd the Holy Grail by comming to
this page.'
There's only one thing left for me to say in this sense: 'Ziggy to the (A)miggy!'

AMIGA 2001: Report by Stefan Popp
Stefan Popp wrote:
Here my small report about the 2001 Amiga show (absolute subjective and incomplete).
There were more booths than the last time (about 12). Unfortunately they took that good
advantage of the exhibition space, that the walks between the booths were quite narrow, which
lead to bothering tailbacks.
Bplan
Like known Bplan is creating a PPC machine. This was presented run capable.
I've seen MorphOS. Reportedly Linux was no problem, too.
A complete machine (20GB HD, 128MB RAM, ...) was said to cost about 1,000 Euro.
But the boards would be available solitary, too (from distributors, but not from BPlan
directly).
The problem about this whole thing: The system still is at beta test stage, and if
someone would order a certain amount of boards today, delivery would not be
expected before end of 1Q02. Major reason for this: It is hard to get low quantities of
the components.
To the question, how much of the specifications have been revealed, I was told, that the
computer meets the Motorola Open-Bios conception and to adapt it to
other operating systems would be no problem.
BPlan's documents consciously don't mention the Amiga, to not tie the machine
down to some special field of application.
Elbox
Showed their busboards. Again, the TV card and the TV picture was
presented as Workbench background.
Unfortunately the SharkPPC was shown inside a show-case.
Of course I asked, why this card wasn't performed. The employee illustrated,
that though development would have been finished, but it would be to wait
for AmigaOS4.0. Ermh, if I consider this, my questions actually wasn't answered by this
statement. Allegedly the card would run with WarpOS drivers, too (so please, why to
wait for 4.0). Well, doesn't make any difference, isn't that important, anyway. :).
Haage & Partner
Actually just showed Amithlon and AmigaXL on three computers.
Meal booth
Meat balls, noodle salad, coffee, and Snikers at cheap prices.
The lectures (at least those I attended)
1) Amithlon - Jürgen Haage
In advance: The room was to narrow and of bad equipment. Reportedly this also was due
to the fact, that some parts did not survive the transport to Cologne. But, after some
bricolage everything worked.
Mr. Haage explained the step to develop the Amiga emulator with the good availability of
and the cheap prices for PC hardware.
The price for the complete package is at 299DM (incl. Kick 3.1, OS 3.9, QNX,
Arteffects, AmiWriter, and StormC3.0 ).
According to Mr. Haage the development of the emulation bases on UAE. Amithlon
utilizes a Linux kernel in addition, which was said to simplify the implementation of
additional hardware. AmigaXL uses QNX as 'hosting' operating system.
2) Hyperion about the subject Amiga 4.0
Amiga Ltd. did not attend the show. And to say it honestly, nobody missed
them. Some kind of announcement sure would have coused people to shake their heads, again.
The lecture was done by the CEO of Hyperion (I just forgot the name). The facts in short:
Hyperion and H&P obtaind a license for a PPC port.
With the help of many developers (with H&P and Hyperion as the core team)
the OS will be ported step by step. At first the TCP/IP stack, Exec and possibly DOS.
Furthermore there is a new library concept.
- In the beginning memory protection will be limited to prevent access to not allocated memory.
- New Warp3D will be implemented (with Matrox-, Permedia3-, and Radon1/2 support).
- WarpInput for input device management.
- Generic PCI drivers to better integrate the different PCI boards
(hardware drivers will have to be developed only once, at last).
- USB support.
- New TCP/IP stack ('Roadshow').
- Picasso96 as standard in a PPC native version.
- It's said to run on any PPC Amiga, while Blizzard cards might suffer from low performance.
- 68k emulation (JIT version) will be integrated.
- AmigaDE will be on it.
- Java was sait to come, too (but not already in the initial version).
- Price: In the range of AmigaOS V3.5 or V3.9.
- Amiga ZorroII and ZorroIII would be supported (at least the most prevalent cards).
- PPC datatypes.
- AHI for Sound.
A version would be available from January, already.
I could not keep more in mind. Maby someone would publish the Scala presentation.
The CEO of Hyperion wasn't very optimistic in regard of AmigaOne, Shark, BPlan.
One reason to decide to port 4.0 to existing hardware and to not let down the owners of PPC cards.
The OS theoretically runs on any PPC hardware.
But nothing was performed. Explanation: Due to the still bad look one would get a bad
impression, which just would cause people to review things from a wrong point of view.
At the booth of Haage&Partner I was told, that a PPC native version of the AmigaOS
would have been possible already two years ago, but Gateway would have disliked that.
I think this is nothing new, but to celebrate the day I once more was happy about it . (sd) (Translation: mj)

OOP4A: Update of the ODK released
Beside of little useful tools, e.g. to display formatted source code, there are
new classes and features for the pre-processor, again.
OOP4A is a system to bring the world of objects to not object oriented programming
languages. OOP4A is able to unite different programming languaes and offers
certain run-time protection machineries.
A continuously extended online documentation is all time available on the homepage.
