Music: Schlachtfeld "2" - intro soundtrack release
The strategy game "Schlachtfeld" which is still in development and currently
ported from the original AMOS game to a new C version of course requires
a music soundtrack. Horst Diebel, leader of the project, has hired the
musician Psyria for this task.
To get an impression of the game's soundtrack you'll find the final intro
soundtrack exclusively as MP3 (about 3 MByte) in the download area
of the Psyria homepage.
Psyria produces music projects exclusively with the AMIGA.
You can find more information on the game Schlachtfeld at the title link.

'Object Oriented Programming for Anybody' entered first level
Marius Schwarz wrote:
The first wattle got taken, the project OOP4A:
"Object Oriented Programming for Anybody" passed it's first
functioning test. What is this all about? Well, I don't dislike JAVA,
but on the Amiga it actually is "a bit" too slow and I would not be
able to write that with my favourit programming language. So, what would
be more clear than to develop a system for OOP in person.
Actually the concept is a quite simple one. With help of the oop.library
one can create objects and use thier methods. A preprocessor translates
the classes into extended Amiga shared libraries, which then become instanced
to objects by the oop.library.
Since it is possible to use libs on the Amiga with any popular programming language,
any language can also deal with objects. Writing a preprocessor for the language
completes circle. And because there is a fixed format for objects the class files may
be interchanged among one another.
What is required now are classes, masses of first class classes ;-)

Tool: SRename 3.0.0 final
SRename is a program which has some more functions as the common 'rename'. Here are some features:
- Can use wildcards.
- Total control over recursion, the user can set the level of recursion, starting level of recursion and
can even specify a different pattern for entering directories.
- Can renumber filename sequences without the user having to care for the renumber order or filename
clashes because these are taken care of automatically.
- Can perform numbering of filename sequences.
- Can modify the filename's comment and transfer the filename to the comment or the reverse.
- Allows the user to build his/her own functions by providing a command set of selectors and actions
that can be combined in many ways.
- The number of actions that can be executed in one go is only limited by the command line length.
- It is interface compatible with the OS Rename command.
- Efficient memory usage.

ProStationAudio's (realtime nl-editing for AmigaOS) new architecture for 2002
The ProStationAudio architecture has been enhanced to make this non-linear
editing software solution for AmigaOS even more powerful. And faster. The
new version based on this design, ProStationAudio Titanium, is ready and
will be on sale in a few days.
While Amigas are wonderful systems, their main problem is lack of raw hardware
horse-power: Titanium addresses this problem at design level, using
optimizations independent on the host CPU, so that 68K (060 recommended), PPC,
and emulated 68K hardware benefit.
Major new features include:
Signal path layout: stereo sends/returns
- multiple sends per track, stereo.
- multiple aux busses, stereo.
- multiple DSP inserts for each return bus, stereo.
- returns can be muted and/or soloed.
- plugin sharing among multiple tracks reduces CPU load, with peak acceleration
up to 1500% (when using 15 sends to the same aux bus).
Mixig console layout: 6 master inserts, stereo.
- master DSP inserts have been extended to 6, for increased flexibility.
- using track inserts, multiple sends/returns, and master inserts, now each
track's signal can pass through up to 18 DSP processors.
Faast dsp, the new quick-preview mode
- sustained 200% acceleration on mixing and effects processing, using bitrate
reduction
- modifies the bitrate of multiple streams in realtime during disk-streaming,
no need to save audio files at lower bitrates for fast previewing..
- fully transparent, original bitrate restored just before the signals reach
the audio output hardware, providing full compatibility with fixed-rate
devices such as external D/A converters over S/P-DIF.
- quality drop is acceptable for most material.
- any previously saved project benefits, no updates needed
- automatically disabled when mastering and/or bouncing tracks, to preserve
always perfect quality on the final work.
- can be toggled on/off in realtime for comparisons
GUI
- the channel bars layout has been optimized to display more tracks at once on
screen.
- the screen is public and palette-sharing friendly: use tools like calculators,
notepads, or web browsers to view tutorials, directly on the
ProStationAudio screen.
Titanium preserves the tons of features present in current versions: support
for dual graphic cards, dual monitors, two CPU's, realtime operations, mixing
automation, 30 DSP plugins, 24bit and MP3 import, read/write access to Amiga,
Windows, Mac and Unix files, more...
Informations on pricing and upgrade options for current users will follow this
week. As usual part of the service, buyers of the previous top version,
Millennium, will upgrade free of charge.
All the best,
dr. Maurizio Ciccione

Cloanto licences Picasso96 software (Update 3)
Press release: Cloanto is proud to announce that it licenced both the "Picasso96" software
from Alexander Kneer and Tobias Abt, and Brian King's "UAEgfx" Monitor
implementation, for use in Amiga Forever.
A shareware version of Picasso96 has been providing RTG (Amiga retargetable
graphics) functionality to the emulation software which is part of Amiga
Forever since 1997. With the new license Cloanto would like to acknowledge
the precious contribution of the Picasso96 Team to the ease of use,
compatibility and speed which made Amiga Forever so successful, and
further contribute to the future development of the Picasso96 software.
The new license replaces the shareware status of the Picasso96 software
included in Amiga Forever. Support and upgrades will continue to be
provided by Cloanto as part of the Amiga Forever product.
Thanks to the Picasso96 implementation in the Amiga emulation, when an
Amiga program makes a function call to open an RTG screen, or to
otherwise read or change its contents, that functionality is in most
part executed as native and very fast x86 code. Furthermore, the Windows
versions of the emulation programs included with Amiga Forever (i.e.
WinUAE and WinFellow) fully exploit the latest versions of Microsoft
DirectX, which is normally used by games and multimedia applications
to provide maximum performance by providing low-level access to
specialized hardware features, without having to re-write hardware-specific
code. In practice this means that while other emulation programs only offer
proper support for a handful of display cards, Amiga Forever has been
running fine and will continue to run fine with hundreds of different
display cards, including most graphics card currently available, and those
which will be released with Windows drivers in the future.
The combination of Picasso96 and DirectX technologies provides palette-based,
hi-color, true-color and multi-monitor screen modes well beyond the
functionality and speed of the original Amiga hardware. Also, while other
emulation packages do not even support simple peripherals such as a USB
mouse, keyboard, joystick and speakers, DirectX includes DirectInput and
DirectSound, which allow the emulation as included in Amiga Forever to
support all popular input and sound devices.
The Picasso96 software is just one of the many components which have been
carefully selected, preinstalled and tested for compatibility in Amiga
Forever, to make Amiga emulation a simple one-click experience which works
on the widest possible range of different PCs. Hundreds of other items,
including for example GIF/LZW code used under license from Unisys Corporation
(and not available in the version of Personal Paint included on Aminet),
ColorFonts and AnimFonts by Kara Computer Graphics, and anything from
entire software packages to single icons are carefully listed in the
Copyright and Credits sections of the Amiga Forever documentation (which
includes 8 KB of text only to list the individual third-party contributions).
In spite of increasingly difficult times Cloanto keeps improving its own
software technology and licensing valued third-party contents to constantly
improve Amiga Forever and offer continued support and compatibility to the
Amiga community. Cloanto is grateful to all of its valued customers for
supporting these efforts.

Update: (04.04.2018, 14:30, cg)
Mike Battilana (Cloanto) asked us to add the following clarification: The new license discussed in this press release only covers the 2001 version and minor updates - no upgrade privileges for future major versions.
Update 2: (31.12.2018, 15:30, cg)
As requested by Mike Battilana, we replaced "the 2.x version" in the first clarification (refer to previous paragraph) with "the 2001 version". Also, the following paragraph was added to the original press release on amigaforever.com:
"At the time of this writing in 2001, the Picasso96 project was owned by its original developers Alexander Kneer and Tobias Abt. Updates released by a new Picasso96 ownership were neither envisioned nor intended to be included in Amiga Forever under this license."
Update 3: (18.02.2019, 23:00, cg)
To counter allegations made by Jens Schönfeld, Cloanto has added copies of their 2001 correspondence with Alexander Kneer and a scan of a cash transfer receipt. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Virus Help Denmark: Virus Warning 'Harrier A'
A new virus is found. As far as we know, it has not been spread. But read more about is here .
Also, new virus translations added to the Amiga Virus Encyclopedia.
VIRUS HELP DENMARK
Hi All....
A new linkvirus has been found a few days ago, but not in the wild.
It was send to directly to Georg Hoermann (programmer of xvs.library)
by the virus-programmer. Georg received the whole source code. This new
virus, named "Harrier A" was able to disable the antivirus programs,
but with the new xvs.library v33.36, this in no longer possible, due
to the new security stuff in the xvs.library code. And maybe that is
the reason why the virus-programmer send the code to Georg Hoermann.
We do not know if this virus was released in any way, so if you get a
requester poping up, telling you that something is trying to disable
the xvs.library, please let us know.
This is what we know of the virus:
Virus name.... : Harrier A
Virus Type.... : Linkvirus
Virus size.... : 4.800 bytes (Uses polmorphic engine)
Infects....... : 020+ machines
In the decoded virus you can read:
.[ Harrier .A 1.02 virus,
(c) by xxxxxxxxxxx..xxx ]
.Markus! Come back!Hç..,z
(xxxxxxx = Programmers name, removed by Virus Help Denmark)
The xvs.library package will be released very soon.....
Thanks to 'Georg Hoermann' for sending the archive, and to
Zeeball for the first test.

Digital Almanac III: Little error inside update
Unfortunately a little error happened to find it's way into the DA III update to
V4.2, which mercifully has no consequences. A file containing the Internet
links for planets is missing in the archive. That causes the program to always
ask for the CD-ROM.
This missing file can be downloaded:
http://members.tripod.de/achimste/download/url_planet.data and must
be copied to the 'User' directory of DA III.
The Aminet archive will be corrected and replaced at the next opportunity.

Magazine: The Crypt #20
Issue 20 is our NEW edition of The Crypt,
and it's our Birthday! 4 whole disks worth of the best material for you to
enjoy. And our Online version as well.
So what do we have for you this
time? Well, it seems as though the world has gone mad since we brought
out our last issue So hopefully this one will bring some cheer back into your
lives. As we have been back for a year now (Find out more about this in the
"History" section. We thought it was time to have some fun, so this is what
we have for you:- Ever wondered where the Haggis came from? Well we
bring you the story. And find out why the Scots are thought of as miserly.
Then we preview a forthcomming part of the Crypt for all the Steam Train
enthusiasts out there.
Just before we released this issue, we heard of the
closure of Amiga Active who have given us their support for the last year,
so our esteemed Dungeon Master has written a few words and we thank
them for all the work they have done for the Amiga community, and we
wish them well for the future with their new venture of "Digital".
As usual
we have a strong line up of Readers bringing you all the best (and some of
the worse) jokes and articles for every taste, and the Riyan Production
team have been busy scouring the world to great effect, and have once
again done us proud with all their articles and pics.
Have you ever
wondered how safe it is to buy things online? Well we give you the best
advice on how to make sure you are as safe as you can be with some very
good tips about the world wide web.
Dr. Jekyll writes about the MAS
Player, and Craig gives us a review on MuLib. And did you know that
someone has made a robot from an Amiga? We have the pics and a review
from the man himself. Then there is our usual collection of jokes and pics,
which will brighten up any party. And in our Dungeons section we have
some real life accounts from people who have experienced our Haunted
World.
At the time of writing this, we are just a week away from the
WOA-se show, where we hope to see new things from Amiga, and I'm
hoping to get myself a very fast emulator for the PC so I can run all my
favourite programs on a fast machine. Ray Elf has submitted a load of
cartoons and art work for you to enjoy, and then we have a look at a NEW
CD called D.O.O.N. which is a great utilities CD for the Amiga which gives
you everything you could want for Opus including a whole host of themes,
there are also OS3.5 and OS3.9 icons and a REGISTERED version of
Class Act!
But thats enough from me for now, as we have a lot of work to
do, bringing you the Christmas edition, which is only a few weeks away
now. Zola
You will need the "CrM.library" to read the Crypt Disk mag.
Download the lib,unlha it,and pop it in your libs drawer.
Also this version is incompatible With Amiga's using RTG or
a graphics card. So please go to Online so
you can read the HTML version.

Tools: ClassAction V4.3, Choowin V1.11, StopMenu
Martin Elsner has released new versions of the filemanager
'ClassAction' and the tool 'Choowin'. A new version of
'StopMenu' is being worked on.
ClassAction V4.3 - Poppping Uppp
The new version of the filemanager carries the sub-title
'Poppping Uppp', because of the new popup-menus like known
from 'MagicMenu'. Those replace the old action-list, the main menu,
and the drop-down list.
Additionally the following has changed:
- Both lists of same functionality.
- New edit menu.
- Directory buffering.
- Updating on disk change.
- Path buttons.
- Cut'n paste.
- Search.
ClassAction is aware of more than 40 file formats (gif, jpeg, iff, mods, ...), what makes
possible to automatically start operations by just clicking on a file - view, start, edit,
translate. It is possible to define new file types and add operations.
Choowin V1.11
This little help tool can start programs, put windows to front and activate them -
similar too the Task-Manager. You click on one of the buttons in one corner of
the Workbench screen and chose the program or window title from the list displayed.
'ClassAction' and 'Choowin' both require AmigaOS V3.5+.
StopMenu
Development of the start menu 'StopMenu' progresses, but still needs more time.
A release date within next week wasn't determined, yet.
StopMenu is a small help tool to start programs and put windows to front and activate them,
similar to Windows' start menu.

Game: Graphics competition for Schlachtfeld
Horst Diebel wrote:
Since we are urgently needing new graphics for phase 2 of the Schlachtfeld
development and our own recources are quite limited, we decided to start
a graphics competition.
Since Eddy already eagerly designed units this competition is about creation
of background graphics. Those patterns should be of 256+ colours at the size of 16x16,
32x32 or 64x64 pixel.
Different scenarios are needed for the backgrounds, such like swamps,
grass or hill landscapes, craggy and rugged mountains, towns, deserts, ....
Partitipants are free to chose a subject - but we would be happy to get
informed in advance just to have the chance to discuss our ideas.
As first prices two new A1200s are at our disposal, also there are several
packages with Amiga software classics and Aminet CDs. Maybe the number
of prices will increase, but we ask you to take into account that this project still
is about creating free available software, which of course qualifys what we are able to
give as prices :-(
Anybody can participate, the graphics must be free from third-party rights, and in the
case of a price winning graphic we must get entitled to use it for comming versions of
Schlachtfeld.
Ok, as usual we would be happy to get feedback.... To determine the winners in a way
as neutral as possible we called up several representatives of the community to join the
jury - but just have a look at the website..... Also there are more information and even more
soon.
PS: As usual, of course we still are wanting people who would like to cooperate in this project;
conceptional, as programmer or graphics artist.
