Jikes V1.13
Kriton Kyrimis has released version 1.13 of the open source Java-compiler 'Jikes' for AmigaOS and AmigaDE (AmigaSDK). The compiler distinguishes by high speed and is therefore a good choice for extensive projects.

The compiler has been developed by Philippe Charles and David Shields for alphaWorks-program from IBM. The current homepage of the compiler is situated on IBM - developerWorks.

You can download the different versions for Amiga under the title link. Besides the compiler you need the Java-run-time-classes e.g. from Sun or the open source Java-implementation Kaffe. You can find a Kaffe-version for AmigaOS which also supports under the Geek Gadgets X11-port graphics under Amiga Jikes FAQ from Kriton Kyrimis.

The version of Amiga works without ixemul-library.

FormAldiHyd V2.2
There is a new version of FormAldiHyd which is a driver for Aldi, AipTek Hyperpen and WacomIV compatible graphic trays.

The support of the macro keys as well as the possibility of playing sounds when clicking the pin have been added. FormAldiHyd now finally works with the multi I/O cards MultiFace and IOBlix. Of course a lot of bugs have benn fixed and many minor details added (see readme).

www.amigaworld.com is Not Down...
Yesterday I was pointed out that AmigaWorld obviously cannot be accessed. But www.amigaworld.com still works only the `international` DNS-entry is missing - according to DENIC "Record last updated on 26-Feb-2001" -.

You can access the site under http://151.189.12.217. If you want to read the programs support sites you have to do it in the following way, e.g for MUIbase: http://151.189.12.217/support/muibase/ (Do not forget the slash at the end!). Ralph Reuchl

New version of SiteWay-modules: WebColor 1.2
WebColor is a helpful tool for creating and editing HTML-colours. You can choose the colour in 24 Bit mode or it can be reduced to the so called "web-palette". The Workbench palette colours can be used and the VGA- and Netscape-colour names are also supported. WebColor is part of the SiteWay project.


WebColor can now adopt each colour from each window or screen using a pipette (...which turned out to be very useful!).

Interview with Thomas Knäbel, pblan GmbH
Martina Jacobs from amiga-news.de asked the CEO of the bplan GmbH some interesting questions:

Amiga-News: The Pegasos specification basically corresponds to the Zico specification from Amiga, Inc. In your announcement you talked about the hardware, after it was technically enabled, to be utilized for system software verification. Are there plans to also make the Pegasos prototype available to Amiga, Inc. for Amiga product verification?

Thomas Knäbel: In the first step we conceive the BIOs and boot software of the Pegasos hardware for system software . When these are working faultless (i.e. it will then already be possible to start Linux) the hardware will be available for software developers (so for Amiga, too).

Amiga-News: In the comments on your announcement on amiga-news.de Michael Garlich from Titan-Computer was talking about AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 will run on the Pegasos hardware, until the software would address the AGA chip-set. Is this true and if so, how broad is this downwards compatibility? Will it be possible to run style guide conformable applications and current available games on the Pegasos hardware under AmigaOS 3.1 to 3.9?

Thomas Knäbel: The current software stage allows to execute the following kinds of applications:
  • All of the AmigaOS 3.1 - 3.9 programs which do NOT directly address the Amiga chip-set. That is to say programs accessing the system via the AmigaOS' API are executable.
  • PowerUp programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
  • WarpUP programs (not directly accessing the hardware)
Amiga-News: Furthermore Mr. Garlich was talking about a PCI-AGA card was in consideration. Of course this makes Amiga users' hearts beat faster. Are you reflecting such thing regarding Pegasos?

Thomas Knäbel: We are taking this into account.

Amiga-News: The Classic-Amiga not only has the AGA chip-set for custom chip. Standard for sound output is the internal sound chip (Paula). Will the Classic-Amiga's sound chip be emulated by the Pegasos system and/or are there other solutions for sound output under AmigaOS via the Pegasos' integrated sound sub-system (e.g. similar to AHI on the Amiga)?

Thomas Knäbel: The Amiga's original audio output is made possible by a respective emulation. Programs utilizing AHI are supported directly.

Amiga-News: Is there something you would like to say to the Amiga users?

Thomas Knäbel: On this occasion we would like to thank all of the Amiga users and software developers who had to manage things without new hardware for a long period of time. We are sure to be able to offer to all of these Amiga enthusiasts a hardware which meets the requirements of a modern computer system.

Amiga-News: Thanks a lot for this interview and much success for the future.

New project: TAWS - The Amiga Workbench Simulation
TAWS is a JavaScript project with the aim to convert the look & feel of our beloved Workbench to a browser.
Many Amiga-related sites use the l&f of the Workbench for navigation, so I had the idea to perfect it.
Feedback is wanted; I am interested in others point of view and if I should go on with the project or not.

Geek Gadgets-Server with new IP
This is an important update concerning the GeekGadgets' servers. Over the next few days the GeekGadgets project will be moving to a new IP address [64.232.230.106]. A temporary disruption in service may occur due to propagation delays in the various Domain Name Servers, but nothing to be alarmed about. If you do experience problems, you can use the IP (64.232.230.106) temporarily until the DNS hosts get caught up.

Programmers for Internet Software Project Wanted
Achim Stegemann wrote:
Programmers wanting to participate in a software project for the Amiga are wanted.

The project's focus is to program a shared library to make developing of Internet programs easier for less experienced programmers.

Many of us know the problem: One would like to load a file from the Internet via FTP or HTTP protocol with his own program, but doesn't know the respective procedure or addressing bsdsocket.library is too complicated cause you don't know the commands needed. In such cases diverse source codes from Aminet or Linux sources offer only limited help.

The library (maybe by the name of ftp.library ?) would do all this work for the programmer. For example it should be easy to access files on FTP servers by "FTP_Directory", "FTP_Open", "FTP_Read", "FTP_Write", and "FTP_Close" (function names are possible examples). Similar should be possible for HTTP or other protocols (e.g. e-mail communication).

The library is meant to become freeware to make it available for any program developer. Anybody conversant with the use of BSD socket commands and Internet protocols wanting to participate in this project is called to contact me via e-mail

asyncio.library for WarpOS Update
There now is an update for the asyncio.library for WarpOS in version v40.4. The update fixes a exception handler hit under WarpOS v5 as far as the handler was activated (thanks to Oliver Roberts).

The update can be downloaded from the download section on the homepage. It was also uploaded to Aminet and should be available there, soon.

Furthermore developers utilizing the PPC functions of asyncio.library (WOS) might contact Achim Stegemann for exchange of experience.

Simon 2001 V2.1
Simon is a small classic computer game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and sounds. This is a small update and re-compilation of an old routine written by BoingWorld editor: Richard 'DawnBringer' Fhager.

Simon2001: Is a remake of an old classic game where the objective is to repeat an ever growing sequence of lights and sounds. Download it here.

I played a version of this game on the C64 --- and while I could never repeat more than 15-20 steps I had a friend that managed almost 70!!! (I have 100 steps in this game) --- If you can top this or even get close to my friends "record": Please, mail me, and let me know!

This was originally an old game I wrote back in '91. I added a nicer interface in '97. This version (v2.1, Feb 2001) is slightly polished and recompiled.

Download: simon2001.lha (64K)

AROS News
AROS, the open source project to implement a portable AmigaOS is progressing.

Most remarkable innovation is the finished locale preferences program by Georg Steger. There is also a screenshot of this preferences. Additionally there is a demo showing the use of the cool_buttonclass for Georg Steger's coolimages-Library.

The fractal program 'XaoS' (contrib section) needs topaz/8 font, hence it doesn't work correctly any more since AROS now utilizes a proportional font.

Johan Alfredsson has corrected an error in C:SetKeyboard and in the RAM handler. IPrefs now can use notification in ENV:Sys/ to update the settings.

Thanks to Stefan Berger is now is possible to abort packets sent to the filesystem.

Press Release: "Free Amiga Jobs" Conversion
Cologne/Erkrath, Germany, 02-Mär-2001 - In April 2000, Free Amiga Jobs, the online job market especially for the Amiga market, was founded by amiga-news.de and AMIGAplus. During its existence, more than 50 employees were placed with firms and thus many new Amiga projects brought forward.

On March 1st, 2001, Free Amiga Jobs was restructured and equipped with a powerful database. Employers can now submit their job offers online, while employees can search for a job by several criteria. Of course it can still be used for free by both employers and employees.

'Free Amiga Jobs' can be reached on the internet directly at the URL amiga-news.de/cgi-bin/jobs-db.pl or from the website amiga-news.de/ or http://www.amigaos.de/.

New Syntax Parser for GoldED Studio 6
A new syntax parser for GoldED Studio 6 is available for download at the title link.

The syntax parser is based on Dietmar Eilert's source code. Some bugs were fixed and new functions were added:
  • recognition of script tags: PHP, ASP, JSP and Java-Script
  • within those, the program code is displayed similar to C/C++ (special characters, strings, brackets and program blocks are highlighted).
Hints on the installation and an example are in the archive which can be downloaded at the title link.

Amiga Arena - Toadies Survey supplement
Participation in the survey to develop a computer rival for Toadies is without engagement. With Toadies belonging to the "most downloads" of Aminet in mind, I'm very disappointed about the results of participation, so far.

Earthquake in Seattle
Last night an earthquake with the strength of 6.8 happened to Northwest USA. Seattle was affected particular; the news are talking about one event of death and several people got hurt.

Best wishes to Snoqualmie (30 miles away from Seattle); I hope everybody at Amiga Inc. rode out this night and that there is no large loss.

Supplement 02 March 2001 On an e-mail from us Gary Peake from Amiga, Inc.replied:
Everything is lovely here. The building shook pretty good for about 30 seconds but no loss of life anywhere in Washington State and not a lot of physical damage except to older buildings in bad need of repair. The news media made it sound much worse than it really was or could have been.
Thanks for asking about us!
