Some new information abot the Amiga meeting taking place right now in Bad
Bramstedt:
The webcam there is now working. Going to www.amigameeting.de automatically opens a small popup

Important for AWeb users: switch off the function 'suppress banner window' in
the browser settings/'1 options' as it won't work otherwise.
Additionally will more pictures of the meeting be released on the homepage.
Mister Dellert from DCE arrived at around 12.15 h and just puts up two
computers with G-REX PCI board. People here are already eager about the things that
will be shown on these systems later.
There's also an interview with Mr. Dellert planned later that will be released,
too.
Torsten Gruner, Thorsten Hansen and Jörn Plewka from KATO
Development are at the meeting and show Amithlon live. The interested user may
take a picture of the power and the possibilities of the AmigaOS under Amithlon
on up-to-date PC hardware.
The Amithlon co-developer Thorsten Hansen, from KATO, will introduce his own
developing system and is fond on answering questions by interested users.
People who want to visit the meeting taking place until Sunday midday are

Library: vapor_toolkit V15.11
On 7. October 2001 version 15.11 of the 'vapor_toolkit' library was released.
The vapor_toolkit.library is a library of support functions which
are used by most Vapor applications and thus can be shared to
reduce individual application code size. Changes since version 15.8:
- more error checking in the library initialization (Zapek)
- optimized memory usage for some functions (Zapek)
- added "html" as built-in file extension (Zapek)
- rewrote MIME handling functions. Much faster and more efficient (Zapek)
- fixed a potential crash from VAT's ARexx handler (Zapek)
- fixed the saving path of MIME entries not being always set :o) (Zapek)
- fixed the ARexx handler task crashing when the library was flushed then
reloaded again (Zapek)
- fixed MIME extensions list which would only add the first one of each
mimetype :o) (Zapek)
- fixed screwup in the class dir handling :o) (Zapek)

AROS: Status report (MorphOS, Amithlon, H&P, Amiga)
On the 9th of October 2001 Aaron Digulla, AROS, has published the following status report of AROS (which is an open source project for implementing of a portable, AmigaOS-compatible operating system) on the AROS-announce-mailinglist:
«Hello,
A long time since the last update but I can proudly reply that I keep the web
site uptodate, now :-)
Here is a short roundup what has happened since the last update:
Parts of AROS are used in the MorphOS product. MorphOS gets some shared
libraries which they need and we get patches to make Amiga software work :-)
Two members of the MorphOS team, namely Nicholai Benalal and Emmanuel Lesueur
have CVS write access and they have started to submit patches. All in all, a
very good deal on both sides :-)
Amithlon (Harald Frank) has also asked if they can use our sources and we gave
them the same deal that MorphOS got. Still, no patches on this side. As I see
it, Harald and Bernie are drowning in work :-) Good luck to them !
Neither H&P nor Amiga have asked to use our source in any of their products. I
expect them to know what they do. The times when I tried to "enlighten" others
are in the past :-) Good luck to them, also.
On the AROS side, I can say that we have achieved a lot ! At the time of
writing, the AROS CVS repository is 66MB and the contributed sources are 90MB.
Commits are very frequent (in the last few weeks, there was almost no day when
no one committed some of their work), so AROS is more healthy than ever.
And the range of software which we have is also quite impressive: We have
ported the version of DOpus which you can find on Aminet (yeah, that's old). We
have Radium (http://www.notam.uio.no/~kjetism/radium/),
a note editor which can
also play the songs you edit with it. We have a CDROM driver, the editor XDME
(which was written by me) was ported last Sunday in about 8h of work (mostly
fixing ghastly code which DICE did compile for reasons unbeknownst to me ;-)
and Python (http://www.python.org/),
the first programming language for AROS.
We also have a couple of prefs programs (Font, Locale, ReqTools, Serial) now.
While AROS still lacks a lot of things and a lot of code is, well, doing only a
fraction of what the original AmigaOS can do, it's still impressive to see how
far we did get and that gives me a very good feeling what I look into the
future. AROS Native/x86 is getting more and more stable and when a bug in the
trackdisk.device is fixed (it's *very* slow) and a feature is implemented (it
doesn't support the diskchange signal, yet, so you cannot run the demos on the
contrib floppy disks), you won't only be able to boot into an AmigaOS-like
system on your PC but you will at least be able to edit some prefs, save them
to disk and write some texts with XDME.
Our now home might lack fancy colors and designer chairs but it certainly
begins to feel like Amiga :-)
Have fun !» (sd) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Floppies (FAQ), XDME, Python, FPU-Bug
Aron Digulla extended the AROS-FAQ with entries about the use of
floppy drives
in UAE and AROS as well information about the
IRC channell for AROS.
Furthermore he has started to port the editor 'XDME' which was almost
finished. 'XDME' gets compiled and linked successfully - but crashes after
it was launched. This would be fixed soon.
Thanks to Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen Radium is now playing.
Adam Chodorowski corrected the installation of Python (programming language).
The runtime modules were not copied.
Georg Steger corrected the long existing FPU bug. The FPU wasn't initialized correctly
and task switching between FPU and non-FPU tasks could crash AROS. There also was a certain
error in the routine for removing a task. Steger added the missing character modes in graphics.hidd.
The private field 'initialfont' of the IntWindow structure was removed (that's what IFont in the Window
structure is for). Notification between slider and list-view gadget is more secure now.

Unix-command (NetBSD) "file" recognizes Amiga pictograms
The NetBSD version (NetBSD-current) of the Unix-command 'file' is now able to recognize Workbench-pictograms (.info-files).
This feature is available for all platforms supported by NetBSD. Furthermore the maintainer of the file-distribution for
Unix Christos Zoulas was informed. That means that this feature will soon be available for other Unix-versions, too.

Amiga Arena: AmiATLAS, Bonds
Amiga Arena - Special Price Project
In cooperation with the AmiATLAS development team the Amiga Arena make possible
a special price for AmiATLAS 6.
Until and including 20. October 2001 you can preorder AmiATLAS 6 at the special price
of only 99,- DM stead of 109,- DM at the Amiga Arena.
Registering via the Amiga Arena can be done by filling in the survey form at the 'Aktionen' area .
Note: Owners of AmiATLAS 5 might have even cheaper update possibilities since negotiations
were not finished, yet.
AmiATLAS - The Story continues
When the Amiga Arena made possible version 2.0 to be released for free further development of
AmiATLAS was not really sure to be done.
Thanks to good cooperation of Adreas R. (Innovative Software Solutions) and the Amiga Arena
it was possible to find Gerd F. to take the task of further development of AmiATLAS
The more I'm happy about the AmiATLAS development team to able to present version 6
before long.
By this I would like to make you aware that WE (developers, users meaning Amiga users!)
with a bit personal initiative are able to move many a things.
Feedback of any kind is very important to all developers. This issue should not be
underestimated.
The Amiga Arena wishes the AmiATLAs development team much success and hopes that
the users will take this project.
Olaf K. - Amiga Arena
Amiga Arena - Special Price
The special price for Bonds is still valid thru 31. October 2001.
