Version 2.0 of cmp (ALeXcompare) Released
cmp is a program which compares files in two directories (or trees).
That can be very useful, e.g. to examine in a backup, which files have
been changed / are new. AmigaOS 2.1 is required.

AmigaOne Discussion Board Remains Open
On November 24th, amiga-news.de reported that Amiga Inc.'s AmigaOne discussion
board will be closed on December 1st. The reason was a huge number of insults
which were published there.
On November 28th, Gary Peake of Amiga Inc. has announced in the Team Amiga
mailing list that the AmigaOne discussions won't be closed. He doesn't know
where the remark originated from, at least it didn't come from Amiga.
So the discussion board can still be
accessed,
but now only for registered users, which wasn't explicitly mentioned by
Gary Peake.
If anyone asks, we are NOT closing the AmigaOne forums on
www.amiga.com
Somebody must have been playing on their Momma's computer and got
loose and posted that remark.
It did NOT come from us. [...] (Gary Peake)

AmigaOS 3.9 - a well done surprise?
In fact we would have liked to write an article about the new AmigaOS 3.9 on our own, but found the
article by Martin Steigerwald in the AMIGA Magazin 01/2001
so much perfect that we asked Joern-Erik Burkert, member of the editorial staff at Amiga Magazin,
to allow us publising it on amiga-news.de in both, German and English. Thank you very much for consent.
AmigaOS 3.9 - A well done surprise?
© AMIGA Magazin - Author: Martin Steigerwald
Translation by Martina Jacobs
This article in German
The announcement of the AmigaOS 3.9 came by accident for many people. Only a few dared to
think of having a new version of the AmigaOS in their hands within this year, already.
Nevertheless Haage&Partner together with many partners developed the new OS. Read
in this initial overview which new features it offers, and come to your own
conclusion whether or not this surprise was well done.
AmigeOS 3.9 is shipped on CD-ROM. Who is not satisfied by the operating system's online
help might order a printed version (German) from Haage&Partner, which is a tips&tricks
book describing what's new in AmigaOS 3.9 in a comprehensive way.
AmigaOS 3.9 contains big and completely new implemented features, e.g. the dock program
»AmiDock«, as well as many enhancements in detail and bugfixes, too. Additionally
proved third party tools are integrated: features formerly only available as patches, such as
like the FontCache or the configuration of asl file requesters, now are firmly integrated into
the OS, tools like »RAWBInfo«, and »ViNCEd« simplify the daily work.
The description of new features in this article does not claim to be complete and bases on
a pre-version of AmigaOS 3.9. But the features described here are already implemented and
supposed to be for sure.
Simplified Installation
Compared to AmigaOS 3.5 installation has been simplified distinctly. It is no longer
necessary to install AmigaOS 3.1, at first. Also there is no need to restart the system, any
more. There are two kinds of installation: the update installation updates an existing AmigaOS 3.5,
and only copies icons which are new since OS 3.5. The full installation installs AmigaOS 3.9 -
including all of the necessary files of AmigaOS 3.5, and AmigaOS 3.1 - including all of the GlowIcons.
Full installation also allows a fast new installation of the system, if booted from a before created
emergency disk. This way AmigaOS 3.9 can be re-installed easy and fast even in case of a complete harddisk
failture. As with AmigaOS 3.5 the emergency disk also supports RTG systems and AGA 31KHz screenmodes.
Due to this also in case of emergency no 15KHz monitor is needed, any more.
Well Docked?
»AmiDock« simplifies working with the Workbench in a enormous way. To start programs
usually one has to click down to the related directory and then double click the program's icon. But
with »AmiDock« you are able to easily create button strips, which allow to open programs and
directories by one single mouse click.
Contrary to most of the other tools like this AmiDock fully supports the new coloured icons. And - maybe
the most important feature - it is extremely easy and fast to use. If you would have to open a
configuration window for other programs, with »AmiDock« you just drag the icon of the
desired directories and programs into a dock. If you drop the icon, it will automatically be included.
This way docks can be created as fast as the wind, cause you don't have to configure each single
switch. Moreover this, there are default configurations for certain directories: e.g. AmiDock just
reads the »Prefs« and displays all of the preferences in one dock.
Also the adjustment of the dock's size is conceivable intuitive. Instead of being forced to declare
the number of lines and columns inside a configuration window, you just drag the dock to the desired
size. Then the dock will be fixed at the related width and height. AmiDock shows this by a small
handle bar. By clicking on this the size will be released, again. Or you just drag the dock to a new
size.
Beside of calling programs AmiDock also supports opening directories on the Workbench, as well as
calling programs using arguments: so e.g. you may drag'n drop a text on the switch which for example
will start the editor »EditPad«, and just lets EditPad insert this text.
More comfortable Workbench
Also in other parts working with the Workbench became more comfortable: many new assistants are
supporting the daily work. »RAWBInfo« offers a Workbench information window with a nice
ReAction GUI which really has got many features. E.g. you even can give an icon a different
picture which is loaded via datatypes.
To make the Workbench deal with files which don't have an icon in a reasonable way there is
»DefIcons«. This program gives files without an own icon a default icon according to
the file type. This way pictures and texts without an icon can easily be started via double click.
DefIcons can be configured via it's own preferences program.
Who - a bit envious of Apple or Windows - always was wishing a trashcan directly on the Workbench,
will get this feature in OS 3.9. With »BenchTrash« this is no problem. This program
either just will delete files dropped on the trash or will move them to a certain directory. But that's
not all of it: who always wanted to eject a CD-Rom like it is done on the Mac can do that now. Just
drag'n drop the CD's icon on the trash, and there you go! Also handy is the feature to clean up the
trash regularly and to delete every file older than a certain amount of days.
It has also been cared for a new clock. »WBClock« displays itself as an animated AppIcon
on the Workbench. It even is optionally transparent, which looks very good sometimes.
Also very handy is the search function of the Workbench. This is done by a external program called
»Find« which can be started via the Workbench menu »Window/Search« or as a single
task. According to how it was started and configured it allows to search in the current Workbench
directory or in one or more harddisk partitions. It cannot only be searched for file names, but
also for contents (e.g. keywords). Double clicking on a file found tries to start a reasonable action
on it: this way e.g. a seldom used file can be searched and started directly from Find.
LhA, LZX, but also archive files of other formats (see »Features«) can be unpacked
by a simple double click, thanks to the implementation of »xad« in AmigaOS 3.9. »xad«
supports many formats. This way the user only seldom will happen to meet an archive which cannot be
unpacked, if any. Related programming knowledge assumed one can write an own unpacking routine.
»xad« can also be addressed via shell commands.
More Multimedia
But also some has happened in the case of multimedia. PlayCD, the somehow bare appearing CD player from
AmigaOS 3.5 has been started up thoroughly: the program now supports skins. Another advancement: PlayCD
as a rule doesn't need to be configured any more, but itself looks for a suitable CD-Rom drive,
if necessary.
»ACTION« plays Quicktime and AVI movies optionally on an own screen or inside a window on the
Workbench.In doing this it's very fast. Even on not that good equipped Amigas acceptable results are
to accomplish. Control buttons allow to start and stop the movie, to adjust volume, as well as to
well directed »skim through« the movie using a scroll bar.
»Amplifier« beside MPEG-3 music files also plays AIFF and WAV files. It has got play lists which
can be both, loaded and saved. The program as well supports skins and is capable of playing music either
via the Amiga sound chip Paula or via a sound card. With this the standards AHI and X-Audio are supported.
A X-Audio driver for the Paula sound chip is included. On the Workbench music files can easily be drag'n
dropped into the play list to add them to this.
»AWeb SE 3.3« which came with AmigaOS 3.5 has been updated to the new version of »AWeb«.
This version now also supports »FONT FACES«. So you can let it display websites nicer and
more true to original with suitable fonts. Support of JavaScript has been enhanced, too, and much more.
And to be able to start surfing immediate AmigaOS 3.9 contains the full version of »Genesis« with
ReAction GUI. Only the Genesis preferences program could not be transposed to ReAction in time, because
of it's scope. Who has MUI installed can use it however - otherwise MUI must get installed. But
the enhanced Genesis Wizard compensates for that, which makes it very easy to configure an internet
account on the basis of the provider database.
Powerful Console
Beside of the extensions to the Workbench and the players also shell enthusiasts will not miss out with
the new update: as console handler for shell windows now the powerful »ViNCEd« is used.
From now on all of the console windows are having scrollbars to re-display text which scrolled out of
the window. But it also has been thought of the shell users which don't like typing in: using the TAB key
incomplete file or directory names can be completed now. With this »ViNCEd«, according to it's
settings, not only searches for suitable entries inside the current directory, but e.g. also inside the
assign list or inside the command search path. If »ViNCEd« finds only one entry the string
immediately gets completed, otherwise an asl requester will open to choose from the suitable entries
found. Handily the completion also works multileveled: if needed the given string gets completed up to
the first char from which multiple entries are possible. By entering a character or pressing the TAB key
and selecting an entry the procedure can be continued. »ViNCEd« is very versatile configurable and
offers many other features.
- complete ANSI emulation
- supports graphics boards
- Macros - with these e.g. it is possible to use the F keys for often used commands and functions.
- configurable keyboard control
- Job control, as known form Unix shells
And what else?
Moreover there is a nice set of interesting and useful features: so the new »diskfont.library«
with integrated FontCache cares for faster display of font requesters. This features has been implemented
completely transparent for applications, but also can be disabled for single directories. New installed or
deleted fonts are automatically recognized and the cache file gets updated accordingly.
Also »asl« has been extended. Using the preferences program position, size, and sorting order of
asl requesters can be set. Also this is not a patch any more, but is »officially« controlled
by the new »asl.library«, and the new »IPrefs«. The »text.datatype« now
supports searching inside of the text, as well as marking parts of the text. Marked parts handily
are automatically copied to the clipboard. Also the »string.gadget« has been extended: so now you
can mark char by char or undo the last change inside of every text input field.
The new »test« function of the screenmode preferences program is a nice detail, too.
You no longer have to tapper in the dark and maybe reboot, if the newly chosen mode accidently cannot be
displayed contrary to what you've expected.
New Features
- AmiDock: completely new written and extremely easy to use dock program. The fast way to easy
start programs or to open certain directories.
- Integration of Workbench extensions: »RAWBInfo« offers a nice done and rich of functions
Workbench information window, »DefIcons« a default icon system
- More compatibility: »newiconemu« allows to edit the new coloured icons
(»V44-GlowIcons«) with NewIcon capable programs, too.
- New Tools: »BenchTrash«, the free configurable trashcan on the Workbench; »WBClock«
, the clock being an icon; as well as »IoMegaTools«,
the tool for ZIP and JAZ drives.
- Extended PowerPC support: WarpOS V5 is included, new »picture.datatype« supports PPC
- More multimedia: new versions of »PlayCD« with skin support and many bugfixes;
QuickTime and AVI movie player »ACTION«; player for MPEG3, AIFF, and WAV »Amplifier«
- Genesis: the TCP/IP stack for local area networks and internet connection - already widely with ReAction GUI.
- xad: the archive unpacking system. unpack archives from the Workbench by just double clicking it. Supports
LhA, LZX, ZIP, RAR, ARJ, DMS, and many other formats.
- ViNCEd: new console handler with scrollbar, file name completer, ANSI emulation, and many other handy
features.
- AWeb 3.4 SE: the in AmigaOS 3.5 included browser has been updated.
»FONT FACE« support, enhanced Javascript support, and much more.
- Find: allows searching for file names or file content on multiple partitions. Can be called directly from
the Workbench menu.
- Asl requester: there is also a preferences program for setting the size of, and the sorting order inside of
requesters.
- text.datatype: now allows searching inside of the text, and copying of marked text parts into the clipboard.
- New gadgets: the colour wheel (»colorwheel.gadget«), and the gradient slider (»gradientslider.gadget«)
now support screens with 65000 or 16 millions of colours; the new »string.gadget«
offers marking char by char, undo, and much more.
- New FontCache: faster display of font requesters.
- rexxmathlib.library: new math functions for ARexx.
- Many bugfixes: new mathe libraries with important bugfixes, bugfixes in ReAction, Workbench, and many other.

wARPgATE to be in German only
Due to editorial reasons wARPgATe is to be continued in German only from 01. Dec. 2000.
Background: Because of rather low response in spite of much efforts, and recently number of vistors per day
on the WarpOS news pages decreased to 300, unfortunately our editor left the wARPgATe project. Also the
future of WarpOS rather is unsettled with view on the change to a new Amiga era whith the AmigaOne. Not to
completely shock the users we decided to continue the site as it is from 01. Dec. 2000, and to expand it
as the case may be. But we are only able to do that in German, so the site will not be continued in
English after it's 21 month lasting existence. We ask you for your understanding.

Back to the Roots Amiga-News
Back to the Roots worte:
It's not necessary to mention that we are making more scene demos available for
download, but it is to mention that our legal and free available Amiga software
mission now also is supported by Acid Software. With Skidmarks we are able to
offer a real highlight. Furthermore there are four adventure rarities by Infocom, and
a lot of other games for download.
We are happy to be able to provide a review on the music CD "Merregnon", a truly astonishing CD
offering a sound experience of special kind thanks to musicians like
Chris Huelsbeck (Turrican), Allister Brimble (Superfrog), oder Markus Holler (Tales of Tamar).
Moreover there is an interview with the Amiga demo group Reason expressing their misgivings on
how the demo scene might look like on AmigaOne.

Schatztruhe GmbH on the "World of Amiga" in Cologne
In this year Schatztruhe GmbH also will be represented at the wintry fair event in Cologne from 9th
to 10th of December. As known from former fairs we will offer interesting products again and will offer
them at our low fair prices.
We will have the fresh burned Aminet 40 which you can buy directly at our booth. Until this time
the new OS3.9 also will be available, and you will be able to buy it at our booth.
It will really be worth visiting the fair, because Bill McEwen will be present and will inform us about
the future of Amiga, as the management of the fair said.
The fair will take place from 9th to 10th of December from 10 am to 6 pm on each day. Location is the
MediaPark six and seven in Cologne (not the fair halls in Cologne!). For more information, please
have a look here.
You can also find detailed information on how to go there (also by public means of transport) there.

Alternative-Games.de will start on December 1st, 2000
Lately there were an increasing number of cooperations and joint-ventures of firms that only
released for one of the alternative computer systems until now. We want to support the activities
of these firms by establishing a portal for users of every alternative system. This portal will
contain news, reviews and much more.
From the start there will be an Amiga and a Macintosh section. For additional sections we are
missing people who are willing to help us to make the project a success. We are looking for
section managers for Linux, BeOS and Milan (Atari). But we still need some persons for the
Amiga and Mac sections. If you would like to help us with reviews and reports, please mail
to info@alternative-games.de.

AmigaSDK: Atoll
On November, 25th 2000 Jarno van der Linden published the alpha version of the
developer tool 'Atoll'. This tool converts C link libraries, like libpng.a or libjpeg.a almost
automatically into a tool set (tool sets on AmigaSDK "match" to the libraries on other systems).
Up to now is has been tested successful with libpng.a and libjpeg.a (part of gfx/misc/libjpeg-6a.tbz2).
To use Atoll knowledge of VP assembler is necessary, and knowledge of sed and regular expressions are
useful. Atoll itself additionally needs the
gd.tgz-Archiv.
The documentation for Atoll declares how to convert libjpeg.a into a tool set. To try this example
the
gfx/misc/libjpeg-6a.tbz2-Archiv
is needed.

KDH Advent Calendar with Surprises
From 1st to 24th of December 2000 (except of 8th to 11th of December) KDH
proposes a top deal at a very interesting price every day. So there is a new
daily highlight from 1st to 24th of December. Click on the corresponding door
of the KDH advent calendar and discover the daily proposition. The best way is
to take a daily look at the KDH advent calendar so you won't miss your dream
deal, since every proposition lasts only for exactly one day. Since we are at
the WoA 2000 we'll have to suspend our deals for that period.

After an initial refusal, KDH-Datentechnik now decided to attend the
WoA 2000
as an exhibitor. All the customer calls which asked KDH to participate were
decisive factors for this decision.
We really appreciate that KDH finally decided to attend, because we
believe that the wider the offers are, the more people will be interested in
visiting the fair.

AROS Update
From November, 3rd 2000 to November, 19th 2000
following information about the evolution of this AmigaOS compatible
open source OS have been added to the AROS homepage.
Joerg Dietrich added a ppm.datatype for PPPM graphics, and the
dtdesc tool. This tool allows to create and analyse datatype
descriptions. Georg Steger used it to improve the FTXT datatype.
The binary.datatype has been ported back to AmigaOS V3.5 by Joerg Dietrich.
Tobias Seiler fixed a long standing bug in the keyboard initialization of AROS
Native/i386, so PS/2 keyboards should work now.
Georg Steger first added a port of reqtools.library, and then ported more and
more programs which use Reqtools and fixed a lot of bugs in the code. The port
of Reqtools should be finished, soon. He finished gadtools.library. He also
committed rewritten routines for the DOS functions MatchFirst(), MatchNext(),
and MatchEnd(). These should work in all cases, now. This fixes all the related
bugs, like List C:. He also fixed some bugs in the
graphics.library-to-HIDD driver and the workbench.library as well as renamed
the OO Routines into something more easily distinguishable from BOOPSI (the
OO system also used DoMethod(), etc. which could cause confusions).
Johan Alfredsson worked on DOS commands (Info, Status, Execute, Which) and
fixed a lot of bugs in the dos.library. He ported the C:Search utility written
by Neil Cafferkey to AROS.
He added the nvdisk.library. He added and finished the nonvolatile.library.

Amiga Forever 4.0
Amiga Forever is the all-in-one Amiga emulation and connectivity environment for PCs,
officially licensed by Amiga International. We are pleased to announce the
release of Amiga Forever 4.0. This new version includes version 3.1 of the
Amiga ROM and OS files and AGA support under WinUAE. Additional pre-installed
programs and features, like for example Personal Paint, DirectoryOpus 5.5,
TurboText, drag-and-drop LhA de-archiving, and the ToolManager dock have been
updated.
This version additionally includes an archive with a new,
ready-to-run PowerMac version. This emulation is currently the only way of
having an Amiga laptop (if we assume that you install it on a PC laptop or on
a Mac Powerbook/iBook)
New features of Amiga Forever 4.0:
- GlowIcon look (as used in Amiga OS 3.5, but also compatible with NewIcons
and MagicWB)
- Option to switch entire environment from "new look" (GlowIcons) to
"old look" (Classic) and vice versa
- Amiga Explorer 4.0 (includes revolutionary self-install over serial
cable, plus new Cut, Copy, Paste functions)
- Directory Opus 5.5 (courtesy of GPSoftware)
- Personal Paint 7.1b
- Built-in support for ADZ and DMS disk image files
- Print spooler (easily print all Amiga documents under Windows, bypassing
parallel port emulation)
- New emulation and Workbench configuration results in faster emulation of
the Amiga CPU
- New MenuBox launcher (easier to use)
- Dozends of other enhancements and new add-ons
- MPEG-1 videos (CD-ROM version): The Deathbed Vigil (one hour and 58
minutes) and Jay Miner Speech (49 minutes)
Amiga Forever 4.0 - Overview
Amiga Forever contains state of the art software to satisfy two major needs
of many Amiga users: to share data between Amiga and other systems, and to use
their existing Amiga software and data on non-Amiga hardware.
Additionally, software, tutorial and reference files which are likely to be of
interest to any Amiga enthusiast are included with the CD-ROM. More details.

Amiga, Inc.: Executive Update by Bill McEwen
In the new Executive Update by Bill McEwen, the main subject is OS3.9
(sales lauch on the WoA2000), and the SDK. According to McEwen there is a
possibility of another classic AmigaOS Update (4.0). Good sales of OS3.9 are
the condition to this however.
Executive Update
Dear Amiga Family:
It is now November 2000, eleven months after we took over the helm of Amiga. We have made some changes to the original plan, and continue to do our best in carrying the vision forward.
In the next two weeks, the next new product from Amiga will begin shipping - Amiga OS 3.9! This build has been designed specifically for one group - You, the Amiga family. We have been working very closely with Haage and Partner in creating a great new product offering for Amiga that you will all be very proud of.
Will there be a 4.0? This really depends on the sales of OS 3.9. You see, we did not have any plans for another version of the Classic OS. But we continued to receive requests, and because we listen to community, we decided to move ahead with Haage and Partner on this project. If OS 3.9 sells well, and we see a continuing need to produce for the existing Classic Amiga platform, then there is a strong possibility of a 4.0.
It is in your hands.
No matter what happens, AmigaDE is still moving ahead quickly and we look forward to delivering another version of the Amiga Software Development Kit (SDK) with new features and enhancements. In the coming weeks, we will be adding 3D and sound to AmigaDE.
There are many more exciting things happening at Amiga and I look forward to sharing with you all of the great details, and announcements in Koln, Germany in December. I look forward to meeting all of you there, at the Amiga World tradeshow. Bring a friend!
Looking forward to a great visit in Koln, and a wonderful holiday season,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga team.

AGE and Metal Combat
AGE (Advanced Graphics Environment) is an AGA + game graphics library for Amos
programmers, that we were working on a number of years ago. It's not complete,
and it's not likely to be, so we've decided to release it as it is. Also, we've
released our "Metal Combat" speed test engine and source for what was to be a
simple A1200 Virtual Fighter clone, that we were working on in '95. Note it's
NOT a game, just an engine demo, it was possible. We just could make the
characters at that time. Maybe somebody else can do that today...
