Amiga Society: BBoAH and LBoAS updated
Amiga Society has updated the "Big Book of Amiga Hardware" (BBoAH) as well as the "Little Book of Amiga Software" (LBoAS).
Additionally Horst Diebel made a statement regarding "Schlachtfeld":
"After some people gave up Schlachtfeld already here is a brief statement:
It is correct that we actually are at some kind of a dead point. There are one/two errors which simply seem to don't want to be found for any reason.
And additionally we don't have that much time - so solving this problem will not be too soon. In parallel we develop the new Amiga map editor for the new Schlachtfeld firstly. For the weekend I am looking forward to publish some new pictures - actually a playable demo can't be published yet - unfortunately!"

Astronomie: Digital Almanac III V5.0 available
After months of development the new version of the astronomy program Digital Almanac III has been finished.
In the moment only the German version is available. Because of the enormous amount of data the new version is only on CD-ROM available.
About 30 MB of new data has been added. The sidegrade price for registered users will be 10 EUR.
Some CD-ROMs of V5.0 have been delivered, but without German documentation. This can be downloaded from the homepage.
The English version will be delivered later, because the documentation will be finished soon.
New features:
- Leaner program
- New clear GUI layout
- Integration of Tyco-2 and GSC-2 star catalogue via Internet
- "Digitized Sky Survey"
- More online information from different object classes available
- Integration of Hertzsprung-Russell-diagram for spectralanalysis of stars
- Integration of the Hipparchos star catalogue as cross index
- Integration of the "Virtual Moon Atlas" (25 MB data)
- Integration of the Jupiter satellites J6-J13
- and many more...
This is the last version of DA III. It is based upon OS3.9 and needs a gfx-board and a lot of RAM. AGA will not be supported any more.
The last version for smaller Amigas and AGA users is V4.8.
All Amiga CPUs from 68020/FPU up to 68060 and PPC are supported. It also runs with WinUAE, AmigaXL and Amithlon.
Have fun with the new version

Catweasel Software Updates
The Windows drivers for the PC-versions of the Catweasel controller
(ISA and the new MK3 PCI/Flipper versions) have been updated. The
most important change is the support for C64-disks, minor bugs have
been fixed in the diskimage-tool. The new combination of programs
also breaks a small record: A C64-disk is read completely in slightly
more than 9 seconds. The archive also contains some textfiles for
programmers who want to take advantage of the interfaces or the
SID of the controller.
Download: cw_win_pci.zip (115 KB)
The Linux drivers have also been adapted to the MK3 PCI/Flipper version.
Closer information about this can be found on
Michael 'Rawstyle' Krause's website.
Tim Mann has also adapted his cw2dmk tool to the new controller.
DMK is a file format used by TRS-80 emulator programs. Find out
more here.

WWW: Privoxy V3.0.0 for MorphOS
Jörg Strohmayer has released version 3.0.0 of his MorphOS port of the WWW proxy
'Privoxy'.
This is a multiuser proxy with extended filter features to protect your own
private sphere, filter Web contents, manage cookies, control access and
filter out adverts, banners, pop-ups and other unwanted contents.
As this is Jörg Strohmayer's first program for MorphOS/PPC, and he has no
developers documentation about MorphOS, and the public MorphOS GCC archives are
incomplete (parts of libnix are missing), he is asking to send bug reports directly to him by eMail
(joergs+mn@expires-2002-12-31.nexgo.de)
and not use the bug tracker at Sourceforge, except if the bug is also present in
the AmigaOS/m68k port.

Hardware: IBMs PowerPC 970 & Mai Logic Northbridges
In the December PowerPC newsletter, IBM has announced some news about the PowerPC 970.
According to it, the 'Power4' Server CPU's desktop descendant is to come with a vector unit which is compatible to Motorola's PowerPC 74xx's (PowerPC G4) AltiVec unit.
Among further features of the up to 1.8 GHz clockable Power PC 970 is the up to 900MHz fast processor interface which facilitates transfer rates of up to 6.4 GByte to the Northbridge.
Furthermore, the 64bit PowerPC 970 is said to also execute 32bit applications on the same performance level and in native mode.
32bit operating systems should be able to utilise the full performance of the PowerPC 970 CPU's 32bit mode with only small updates.
The first samples should be shipped to developers in the 2nd quarter of 2003.
Articia Northbridges:
The Articia-Northbridge's next generations are to be shipped to developers in the 1st quarter of 2003 (the 'Articia S' used in AmigaOne and Pegasos has been listed for comparison):
Articia S : 133 MHz Prozessorbus, 133 MHz SDRam, 2xAGP, 32-Bit PCI
Articia Sa: 166 MHz Prozessorbus, 333 MHz DDR-SDRam, 2xAGP, 64-Bit PCIX
Articia P: 166 MHz Prozessorbus, 333 MHz DDR-SDRam, 4xAGP, 64-Bit PCIX

Amiga Arena: Interview with Thomas Schulze/Dreamworlds (CrossfireII)
The Amiga market may be small but sometimes the Amiga users are surprised by publications of
hardware or software products who had nobody expected.
"Crossfire II" is one of these products. After a developing time of more than two and half a year where
the team had to fight against breaks and loss of data the full version of the game was published
on the "Amiga + Retro Computing 2002" in Aachen.
People who like the classical 2d shooters will love it because today this genre of game has almost
vanished.
"Crossfire II" is not only a simple shooting game but has various players modes and the single player
"story mode" where you have to face up single tasks as a pilot.
Please read the interview with the
developer "Thomas Schulze" from Dreamworlds what you can expect of "Crossfire II".
Olaf Köbnik: "I can recommend "Crossfire II" all those ones who like action shooters!"

"While Amiga Inc. and its AmigaOne partners concentrate on the forthcoming commercial
operating system AmigaOS 4.0 which is supposed to inspire the Amiga platform with new life Thendic-France

CCC: Website of the 19th Chaos Communication Congress is Online
The website of 19C3 (19th Chaos Communication Congress) is online. There is where you'll find all the important advance information about
this year's congress, which takes place from the 27th to the 29th of December in "Haus Am Köllnischen Park (HAKP)" in Berlin. The entrance
fee for one day for non-members is 20 euros, for a multiday pass it's 40 euros. There are discounts offered if a valid student ID is presented
and children under the age of 12 enter costlessly, when accompanied by an adult.
The Chaos Communication Congress is a three day event about Technology, Society, and Utopia. The Congress offers performances and
workshops on a variety of topics having to do with Information Technology, computer security, Internet, Cryptography, and the critical creative
intersection with technology, as well as the effects of technological development on society.
The Chaos Communication Congress is the yearly specialty congress of the Chaos Computer Club e.V. (CCC). The congress takes place this
year for the 19th time and has its origins in the "European Hacker Party" of 1984.
The congress is not only for techno freaks, but also for anyone interested in the utilizations and effects. Near the conference program there
are other elements of the congress such as the Art&Beauty project, the Labor, the Chaos Archive, the Hack Center and the 6th German
championship in lock picking. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Test Program MpegMasterPlayer (made with Hollywood)
Here comes a test program named MpegMasterPlayer (downloadable under the title link), which was put together with Hollywood. It's
really a player built on mpega. Further, I would like to state that this player and a few other programs originated only with this Amiga
editor, because the scripting language of Hollywood is very simple.
Attention: the archive includes only executables (no script data). Because of this you can't examine the program code. In order to modify
the program code, you'll need the complete Hollywood pack. Additionally the three most important libraries are in the archive, and
these are needed to run the executables. Because the player currently only supports Amithlon's Soundblaster 128, you won't hear any
music on a normal Amiga (so this should be seen as only a demo of what is possible with Hollywood). (ps) (Translation: dm)
