AmigaRealm: Call for support of Amiga.org
Certainly you have already read that the website of the American news service called Amiga.org was hacked and the database destroyed. Under the title link AmigaRealm calls up everybody to support Wayne Hunt who is the maintainer of Amiga.org by contributing money so that he can bring the website online again.

GetBoinged! an Amiga application listings website goes live!
GetBoinged! is a place where Amiga developers can list their applications
on, be it for Amiga DE or Classic. It was developed by two Amiga fans, Paul
Beel my friend and myself. We do not host the "actual" applications, we
allow the developer to point to a location where the application resides
(html links).
We invite you to check out GetBoinged.org at
http://www.getboinged.org.
If you cannot find the application you are looking for, feel free to sign
up for an account and post the application.
We are currently in the process of gathering Amiga DE applications, Amiga
Classic is basically done (both will be updated frequently). If you have a
comment or suggestion, feel free to let us know, we want this site to be
enjoyable!
We look forward to your visit and hope you enjoy GetBoinged.org.
Thank you,
Paul Cardwell

Software Update for Catweasel Floppy Controller
There is a new version of the multidisk.device in the support-area for download. The device works with all Amiga versions of the Catweasel Controller. On frequently request some new formats have been introduced which can also read and write hidden data on the disks. For the most common formats the track-line was extended and for PC-disks special formats with different sector sizes have been introduced.
The format for C64-disks has been extended on 40 tracks and a small bug has been fixed. Finally it should be now possible to write the disk-id in the sector-header correctly.

»The European Commission wants to set computer-programs under the protection by patent within the Union. This is reported by the 'Financial Times Deutschland' in its current issue. After disputing in the authority for months inland market commissar Frits Bolkestein pushed through his plan of patent regulation for software-programs.

Mick Tinker takes leave of Amiga market
Well time moves on, nothing stands still... The Amiga does not make me a
living, it hasn't for a long, long time and it doesn't look like it ever
will make me a dime. I have moved on in my life and its time that I left
the Amiga behind.
It has been an interesting time. I still love the concepts and elegance of
the Amiga, many of those concepts will move forward through the experiences
of all those engineers that have had contact with it. Amiga R.I.P.
Note of the editors board:
The Anti Gravity website, which have bought the BoXer project from Mick Tinker, is not available any more.

the same denominator has been updated. An initial test picture of the 16Bit
Iso 3d engine, new music in MP3 format and the questions and answers so

In the support section the programmers are asking for decision guidance regarding what

There was greate positive responsiveness to that presentation.
Calculation speed did not rank behind comparable PC programs.
So, the only planetarium program left for the Amiga also runs under

You will find a complete interview with Carl Sassenrath about
REBOL under the title link. It especially has an eye
on the possibilities that
REBOL/IOS
will give
X-Internet
('executable' Internet), and the chances of REBOL in the market against .NET and other
systems.
The interview was held by Eugenia Loli-Queru.
REBOL is a platform overlapping sytem from Carl Sassenrath (Amiga-Exec), that was
released first in November 1997. The REBOL language lets you use the Internet easily
including coding of CGI-scripts and the easy design of GUIs.

MPEG-Audio-Player: MAD for 68040 and MorphOS
Today we have a brand new port-release for you .. madplay, the best
mpeg-audio player out there .. this will make a nice complement to
the LAME encoder...
The archive comes with binaries for 68040 and MorphOS...
Please read the included amiga.readme for special instructions on usage!
From the MAD README:
MAD has the following special features:
- 24-bit PCM output
- 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
- completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
- distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)
Because MAD provides full 24-bit PCM output, applications using MAD are
able to produce high quality audio. Even when the output device supports
only 16-bit PCM, applications can use the extra resolution to increase the
audible dynamic range through the use of dithering or noise shaping.
Because MAD uses integer computation rather than floating point, it is
well suited for architectures without a floating point unit. All
calculations are performed with a 32-bit fixed-point integer
representation.
Because MAD is a new implementation of the ISO/IEC standards, it is
unencumbered by the errors and copyrights of other implementations. MAD is
NOT a derivation of the ISO reference source or any other code.
Considerable effort has been expended to ensure a correct implementation,
even in cases where the standards are ambiguous or misleading.

Nova Design, Inc. Releases ImageFX 4.5
Nova Design, Inc. Releases ImageFX 4.5
Richmond, VA - Nova Design announced the immediate availability of the
latest upgrade to ImageFX 4.5. This release adds even more features to one
of the industries most powerful image editing and special effects package
and the top package for the Amiga.
Nova Design has been a long-time supporter of the Amiga platform. Their
software packages include ImageFX, Aladdin 4D - a 3D modeling, rendering
and animation package, Millennium - the ultimate upgrade for Newtek's
Toaster and Toaster/Flyer, and Cinematte - a blue-screening plugin for both
Photoshop and Aura.
New Painting Features
The painting tools have been improved with the addition of several new
Drawmodes. These Drawmodes allow a new range of compositing so you can
composite brushes into your images will all the same tools that the
composite tool offers you for full image compositing. When combined with
the Drawstyles, which control where your pixels come from when using
brushes, you have literally thousands of possible drawing options and
combinations!
New Animation Features
ImageFX 4.0 introduced the concept of being able to load an animation and
work on individual frames just like you would a layered still image
document. ImageFX 4.5 takes this much further with the all-new Keyframe
Manager.
The Keyframe Manager allows you to combine images, animations, or
animbrushes onto any animation you have loaded. You can completely control
the path of these images or animations by specifying precise positions at
individual keyframes at any point in the animation. You can do this with
single point keys, two point keys, or four point keys. You can scale during
single point animations, use two points to make easy 'squash and stretch'
cartoony effects, or use four points flip points around to make '3D' flying
logos and other simulated perspective tricks. With a little artistic talent
it's not hard to track something in an existing animation and add a new
effect on it or replace it with something new.
The Keyframe Manager can also process simple scripts without bothering with
compositing images or animations. You can track lightning into a scene or
have a wizard cast a glowing light with a lens flare. The possibilities are
enormous!
Ordering
Just call 1-800-IMAGE-69 or (804) 282-1157, fax (804) 282-3768 to order.

Database: MySqld V4.0.0 (Alpha)
On 18. October 2001 version 4.0.0 of the MySqld archive for Amigas with
68040 CPU was released on the 'Da SixK Port Page'.
Version 4 is about a definite enhanced version of this databench allowing to
implement previously missing features like requests within requests.
This version was not entirely tested by the MySQL team yet, what makes it alpha status.
As a first new feature one can test union-queries, which work good.
With 'InnoDb' a new format was added, but which does not work in the Amiga version yet and
therefore is disabled in the startmysqld script. Who is able to find a way to use this feature
on the Amiga might contact
sixk@ifrance.com.
Who would like to use special fonts, just have a look at the startmysqld script and
the mysql:languages/charsets/ directory.
More information about the MySQL version 4.0.0 released on 15. October are to find
at www.mysql.com.

ERROR_DIRECTORY_NOT_EMPTY. (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: Increased the range of addresses checked for memory-mapping, in
order to make JIT "direct" mode work on more systems.
- FIXED: Selecting a Picasso96 8-bit mode in windowed-mode would complain
about not matching your desktop's depth, and switch to full-screen.
(Reported by Michael at Cloanto)
- FIXED: Installer won't install when WinUAE is already running.
- ADDED: AHI driver support. (Bernd Roesch)
- ADDED: Option to disable use of overlays completely.

Tales of Tamar: Videos of the LARP I, the Ankou band
Around the 22nd of September the first
LARP
for 'Tales of Tamar' took place. Now, on the 19th of October a video of that meeting was
published showing the beautifull landscape of the LARP area, some battles, the live in
the tavern, and much more.
The video was done by Virtual Dimension, they
made it up from several tapes. From their server the video is available for download in MPEG format at three different sizes.
On the LARP evenings an medieval band called 'Ankou' made music plenteously and thus
cared for the proper ambience. Special was that the bard of the band made it to sing free-style for
seven minutes. This piece of music was ripped off the video and is available for download as
MP3 on the Tamar servers.

Event: Short report about the Pianeta 2001
There were some highlights to sight on the
Pianeta Amiga 2001.
Haage&Partner
presented AmigaOS XL running on an 1.4GHz Athlon. The Amiga software
compatibility is said to be very good. For example there were MooVID playing
two movies in two windows at the same time.
VirtualWorks showed both of the new
PCI solutions G-REX4000D and Mediator 4000 PCI in a show-case, but not working.
An absolute innovation was presented at the booth of
Titan Computer where one was able to gaze at
Candy Factory Pro running on the Pegasos system by
bplan GmbH with
MorphOS version 0.8.
Furthermore a new Italian print magazine called
Bitplane and done by Nicola Morcutti was presented.
This magazine is planned to be published bimonthly including a CD and will be available to
subscribers only.
Other exhibitors are Darkage Software, Digital Equipment, AGI, Il Piccolo Emporio, and Mirko Cipolla (CIP060) who presented an A1200 with MediatorPCI, Voodoo, SoundBlaster, and TV card.

amiga-topcool is back
After a longer period of "thinking" the Amiga print magazine makes its presence
felt again: colored and round. That means, from the autumn issue on will the
amiga-topcool be released as CD-ROM rather than a print magazine. This can be
expected by the subscribers:
- A colored layout that's orientated along the print layout but readable in
HTML format.
- More pages as we aren't depending on printing costs anymore.
- The possibility to advertise one's Amiga club to the max - 10 MB memory is
space available for free for every Amiga club.
- The latest PD software as well as demo versions.
How many times the amiga-topcool will be issued in the future depends on the
drive of the number of free-lance worker that will hopefully grow in the future.
The CD will be subdivided as follows:
- 10 HTML pages up-to-date (interviews, ticker, press releases)
- 10 HTML pages application (previews, news, reviews, topic)
- 10 HTML pages game and fun (previews, news, reviews, Classic reviews, cheats)
- 10 HTML pages community (Amiga club list - with 10 MB memory space per
club, retailer list - with web appearances on CD, readers reactions, etc.)
- software (PD, demos, maybe commercial full versions, too)
Further information will follow in the next days on our Internet site that will
get a new look, too. The price of the CD is 10,- DM (including packing).

Full text Aminet search engine in alpha test
Some hours ago I've completed a somewhat finished version of my
Aminet full text search engine. For now you find it on my local Amiga 4000 under
the URL http://213.196.87.182/
(title link).
Full text means that the appr. 100 MB of the 70000 readme files will be searched
through, too. Normally these search request need less than 2 seconds to be
answered.
I'd like you to test it and give me suggestions for improvements asap. Happy
alpha testing!

Event: World of Amiga South East
So are we! On Saturday 3rd of November 2001 the World of Amiga
Southeast show is taking place at Poplars Hall, Shenfield, Essex, UK.
This is the ideal opportunity for you to come along and show all those
who that think the Amiga market is dead where they can shove it!
We have worked tirelessly to bring you some of the biggest names in the
Amiga Industry to World of Amiga Southeast 2001
Amiga, Elbox, Eyetech, Cloanto, & Pagan Games are amongst those who are attending the show ready to see in the new era of Amiga Computing with the eminent launch of the AmigaOne/SharkPPC Zico Spec Machines and beyond.
James Daniels, Paul Burkey and Fleecy Moss are just some of the Amiga Celebes will be in attendance at WoA Southeast.
However, all our hard work will be for nothing if we have a poor turnout.
We need every one to come along and show the world that we want an alternative to the dull and bloated OS that has afflicted the masses in the computing world.
Sick and tired of all the doom and gloom in the Amiga market?
In short we want a new Amiga, and just because an Amiga Magazine shuts down, it doesn't mean that the existing Amiga dealers have suddenly ceased to exist or have gone elsewhere.
So turn up to WOA Southeast and support Amiga, Fore-Matt Home Computing, Weird Science, Stellar Dreams, Elbox, Clubbed Magazine, Cloanto, Eyetech, 100%Amiga, VP, and many more by coming along on the day.
Many retailers need shows like WoA Southeast to keep their commitment and businesses going until the next generation Amiga takes off.
Let's make the doom mongers eat a big shitcake, turn up and do us proud!
For more details on advance ticket ordering, full list of exhibitors, discussion forums and how to get there please visit http://www.worldofamiga.com

Print magazine: Amiga Active Magazine Announces Major Changes
Fri 19 Oct
Amiga Active Magazine Announces Major Changes
Amiga Active, the world's leading Amiga magazine, is undergoing significant
changes to meet the challenges of a changed marketplace. With the first
consumer version of the next generation Amiga environment, the AmigaDE
player, finally available to the public, Amiga have stepped into the
future, and Amiga Active magazine is following suit.
Issue 26 of Amiga Active magazine will be released on the 25th of October.
This issue will contain the normal mix of forward-looking and "Classic Amiga"
content, including the most detailed preview of the Amiga DE to date,
revealing for the first time much of what is actually going into the
next-generation Operating Environment which Amiga are building on top
of the binary-portable intent JTE (Java Technology Edition) multimedia
engine from Tao Group. This will be the last time that Amiga's journey
into the next generation will be a matter of previews and predictions.
The next generation has arrived.
Amiga Active has been preparing for this from the very beginning. Since
the very first issue we have been covering the revolution taking place
in computing, and over recent months our coverage has increased through
our ever-expanding "Next Generation" section. We are now taking the
magazine itself into the next stage with a change in focus, and a
change in name - to digital.
Complete article see title link.

Zeoneo website launched
The Zeoneo website is now online
with details of its two new releases for AmigaDE: Convex and Planet
Zed.
Until now, Zeoneo was a company that relatively few people knew about.
Indeed, it may suprise many people to know that we have been working behind
the scenes for well over a year now. In that time, experience and understanding
of the systems that make up AmigaDE has been gained and used to develop our
first two PDA-targetted titles.
Convex is an addictive puzzle game where the objective of each of the 25
levels is to remove all the marbles.
Planet Zed is a vertical scroll shoot 'em up game that borrows many of its
features from the classic Bitmap Brothers game Xenon2.
Further information and screenshots of these products is available on the website.

Sharp announces developer version of their SL5000 PDA for November
Sharp has announced the developer version of their SL5000 PDAs for November
In the article at the title link there is some concrete information about the
operating system of the PDA for the first time. The PDA will use besides the
already known Embedix Linux kernel by Lineo
Qt embedded and the QT Palmtop Environment
by Trolltech as well as the browser
Opera. Further, a Java VM is integrated.
The article does not mention who provides the JVM. Probably TAO's Java VM
won't be used but rather the Jeode Java VM by Insignia,
at least this is mentioned on the Sharp developer page for the PDA.
Then the Sharp PDA would use the system
of the partners Lineo - Trolltech - Insignia - Opera already announced on the Lineo page.

DCE: GREX 4000D shipping from today
From today the GREX 4000D is in stock and available. Today the first boards have been
delivered to our distributor Vesalia Computer.
The boards also are being offered by Virtualworks on the
Pianeta 2001 in Empoli, Italy.
Moreover we have created a new driver pack for free use
(download: grexdriver2_2.lzh).
To make our board PCI compatible with the Pegasos board the CyberPCI library version 2.2 is
available now (download:
flash_20011012.lha).
This new flash for the first time enables Voodoo3 users to display the 15KHz start screen
directly on the Voodoo card after system start. For this new graphic boards drivers and new
68060 libraries are required and made available
(download: GREX68K_libraryV2_2.lha).
Also new is the graphic board driver for the SIS 6326 VGA card supporting both of the
RAM variants of this card. For sound support we are offering drivers for the approved
Terratec sound cards PCI 128 and PCI 512. Compatible cards with the chip sets
ESS SOLO ONE (PCI 128) as well as Fortem edia 801 (PCI 512) can be used, too.
Both of the drivers support use with AHI. All of the drivers will be available for download from
tomorrow.

Digital Almanac III - update announcement
A new update for the Amiga astronomy program "Digital Almanac III" version 4.2
can be expected bevore long. A certain release date was not determined, yet.
New features:
- Enhanced formula for the moon's brightness.
- The DA screen now is puclic (public screen).
- The Bayer/Flamsteed database has been enhanced.
- Online information of several hundreds of stars!
- Selection of different Internet sites for constellation descriptions via context menu in the star window.
Bugfixes:
- Small bug in the accuracy matrix fixed (but did not affect due to low values).
- URLs in the planet window called wrong Internet sites.
- When opening a project file on program start (CLI or WB) accidently a screen mode request
was done.
If Harald Frank will agree and there will be time enough DA III perhaps will be presented
running on the new Amithlon/AmigaXL on the Amiga meeting of the Amiga-Freunde-Pfalz
in Mutterstadt, Germany, on 19. Oktober to show the new emulator's performance by an
scientific program. But this cannot be guaranteed at this time and cannot be checked before
the meeting.
