St. Louis 2001: Es hat sich nichts geändert

Amiga hat am Wochenende in St. Louis die aktuellen Pläne veröffentlicht. Angekündigt wurden diese mit einem Ground Shaking Event. Nachdem, was ich seit Sonntag darüber übers Internet gelesen habe, habe ich den Eindruck, dass sich nichts geändert hat.

Das langfristige Ziel von Amiga ist weiterhin ein portables, eigenständig laufendes AmigaDE in Kombination mit Elate von Tao. Neu ist, dass mit dem AmigaOS V5 inklusive Speicherschutz, SMP und anderen Features eine weitere Komponente als Grundlage für dieses System hinzugekommen ist. Außerdem gibt es mit Sharp eine Kooperation zur Entwicklung von Applikation für Sharp`s Zaurus-PDA auf Basis von AmigaDE.

Leider hat sich auch nichts an der Informationspolitik von Amiga geändert, so dass es sehr schwer ist zu verstehen, was Amiga eigentlich plant und ich mir auch nicht wirklich sicher bin, ihre Pläne nun richtig verstanden zu haben.

Ich habe allerdings den Eindruck, dass Bill McEwen und Fleecy Moss von ein und derselben Planung reden sich dabei aber auf die entgegengesetzten Enden konzentrieren. Bill McEwen konzentriert sich auf die kurzfristigen Ziele(AmigaOS für PPC, PDA, AmigaDE gehostet) und Fleecy Moss auf die langfristigen(eigenständig laufendes, portables AmigaOS V5 + AmigaDE für Hardware vom PDA bis hin zum Server einschließlich des Desktops). Diese unterschiedlichen Schwerpunkte dürften ein Grund für die derzeitigen Verunsicherungen sein. Ein zweiter dürfte darin liegen, dass Amiga bisher keine zusammenhängenden Texte veröffentlicht hat, aus denen ihre Zukunftspläne klar hervorgehen - u.a. ist weiterhin kaum etwas über AmigaDE bekannt.

So wie ich es verstanden haben sehen die Pläne nun folgendermaßen aus, wobei ich mir absolut nicht sicher bin, ob diese Darstellung stimmt, da es sehr mühsam ist aus dem, was von Amiga kommt, herauszulesen was Amiga jetzt eigentlich tun will und es auch Raum für eigene Interpretationen gibt.

Die kurzfristigen Ziele sind AmigaDE gehostet auf Linux und WindowsCE für PDAs und ein AmigaOS V4.x plus gehosteten AmigaDE für PPC-Rechner, die der Zico-Spezifikation entsprechen. Dies trifft z.B. auf dem AmigaOne 1200 von Eyetech zu.

Das langfristige Ziel ist ein portables, eigenständiges, run anywhere OS auf Basis des AmigaOS kombiniert mit Taos Elate und AmigaDE. Dieses OS wird Speicherschutz, virtuellen Speicher, SMP u.ä. bieten und skalierbar vom PDA bis hin zum Server verfügbar sein.

An der Planung und Weiterentwicklung von AmigaDE hat sich dabei nichts geändert. Es wird weiterhin den VP, die Sprache Sheep, OpenGL und die anderen geplanten und weiterhin unbekannten Features bieten und sowohl gehostet auf anderen Systemen als auch langfristig als eigenständiges System verfügbar sein.

Als Rechner für die Softwareentwicklung dürfte auch weiterhin der d´Amiga mit einer Weiterentwicklung des jetzigen SDKs dienen. Ich glaube/hoffe nicht, dass Amiga den Zico-PPC zum einzigen Entwicklungsrechner für AmigaDE ernennen wird.

Damit dürfte Amiga nun, 15 Monate nach der Gründung, sowohl die Wünsche der AmigaOS für PPC- und als auch die Wünsche der AmigaDE-Befürworter erfüllen, ohne das dies auf Kosten einer der beiden Grupppierungen geht.

Weshalb Amiga nicht in der Lage ist, dies der Öffentlichtkeit zu vermitteln ist mir vollkommen unverständlich.

Was mich an St. Louis stört

Katastrophale Informationspolitik

Die Informationspolitik von Amiga ist katastrophal. Amiga muß endlich begreifen, dass es derzeit für außenstehende vollkommen unmöglich ist zu verstehen und nachzuvollziehen was Amiga eigentlich aus welchen Gründen plant. Dies liegt daran, das alle nötigen Informationen nur Stückchen für Stückchen aufgrund heftiger Reaktionen der Amiga-BenutzerInnen veröffentlicht werden, die nach Amiga`s Ankündigungen in St. Louis vollkommen desinformiert waren.

Was weiterhin fehlt sind Texte, die Amiga´s Pläne klar, verständlich, nachvollziehbar und widerspruchslos an einem Stück auf amiga.com erläutern. Damit wäre nicht nur den Amiga-BenutzerInnen geholfen, sondern auch den MitarbeiterInnen bei Amiga, die kurz nach St. Louis mal wieder in einer Flut von heftigen Reaktionen erstickten und ihre Zeit sicherlich auch sinnvoller hätten verbringen können.

Kein neues SDK

Entgegen der Erwartungen vieler wurde in St. Louis keine neue Version des SDKs präsentiert, die z.B. schon OpenGL enthält und einen Ausblick auf Sheep und andere Komponenten bietet. Was ein Grund dafür sein dürfte, dass der Eindruck entstand, dass Amiga nun AmigaDE links liegen läßt und sich stattdessen aufs AmigaOS konzentriert.

Vernachlässigung der jetzigen AmigaPPC-Rechner

Zu Anfang hatte Amiga das AmigaOS links liegen lassen und sich auf AmigaDE konzentriert. Es gab nicht mal die eindeutige Aussage, dass eine Drittfirma AmigaDE auf die jetzigen AmigaPPC-Rechner portieren wird und AmigaDE von Anfang an eine Amiga Classic-Emulation erhalten wird(die Betonung liegt hier auf eindeutige Aussage). Aufgrund solcher Aussagen hätte man recht ruhigen Gewissens Hard- und Software für die jetzigen Amigas kaufen können, da man dann ja gewußt hätte, dass man diese Komponenten auch in der Zukunft zusammen mit AmigaDE nutzen kann. So hätten Amiga-Firmen und -Händler seit Anfang 2000 ihre Geschäfte ganz normal weiterführen können.

Daher verstehe ich nicht, weshalb Amiga nun schon wieder den gleichen Fehler macht. AmigaOS V4.x wird für Zico-PPC-Rechner angekündigt aber es gibt keine eindeutige Aussage, dass AmigaOS V4.x auch für die jetzigen PPC-Amigas erhältlich sein wird. Ausgestattet mit einem PCI-Board plus enstprechender USB-, Firewire-Karten u.ä. würden diese Rechner zudem die Zico-Spezifikation erfüllen.

Das sich Amiga selbst auf den leichter handhabbaren AmigaOne konzentriert, verstehe ich. Dadurch verliert Amiga keine Zeit und kann sich besser auf das eigentlich Ziel konzentrieren. Weshalb aber zusammen mit AmigaOS V4.x für AmigaOne nicht die Möglichkeit genannt wird, dass Drittfirmen dieses OS auf die jetzigen PPC-Amigas portieren können kann ich nicht verstehen. Irgendwo hatte Fleecy Moss zwar diese Möglichkeit angedeutet, eine eindeutige Aussage scheint es mir dazu aber nicht zu geben.

Amiga würde durch eine solche Portierung nichts verloren gehen aber es kämen vermutlich problemlos ein paar weitere 1000 AmigaOS V4.x AnwenderInnen hinzu. Niemand wäre sauer, dass plötzlich die teure PPC-Hardware überflüssig wird, obwohl sie sich für das AmigaOS eignen würde und Amiga-Firmen und -Händler könnten schon jetzt mit PCI-Boards u.ä. Geld verdienen, statt bis zum Sommer auf den AmigaOne warten zu müssen.

Vernachlässigung der Desktop-Rechner

In Bezug auf AmigaDE konzentriert sich Amiga zunächst auf PDAs. Da eine Kooperation mit Sharp besteht und sich meiner Meinung nach im PDA-Bereich leichter eine sichere Markposition einnehmen läßt als im Desktop-Bereich ist dies auch richtig. Da AmigaDE aber für den Desktop-Rechner verfügbar sein muß(Entwicklungsrechner) und ein wichtiger Punkt bei PDAs darin besteht, dass man die Daten leicht zwischen PDA und Desktop austauschen kann spricht meiner Meinung nach nichts dagegen, im gleichen Atemzug auch den Desktop zu nennen. Da gerade AmigaDE es erlauben würde ein und dieselbe Applikation auf PDAs als auch auf Desktops auszuführen. Die Desktop-Variante würde dann gehostet auf den weit verbreiteten Windows- und Linux-Rechnern und zusätzlich unter AmigaOS V4.x auf Amiga-PPC-Rechnern laufen.

Fazit

Mit AmigaDE plus Anwendungen für PDA und AmigaOS plus der PPC-Hardware schlägt Amiga meiner Meinung nach zwei Wege ein über denen sowohl Amiga als auch Drittfirmen schon kurzfristig Einnahmen erwirtschaften können. Zusätzlich erfüllt Amiga nun die Wünsche der PPC- und AmigaDE-Befürworter, ohne dass sich die ursprünglichen Ziele geändert haben.

Wieso sich Amiga jetzt wieder aufs AmigaOS zurückbesinnt weiß ich nicht. Gründe dafür könnten die Forderungen nach einer Weiterenwicklung des AmigaOS sein und das Amiga in den letzten Monaten Bekanntschaft mit der Realität gemacht und dabei gelernt hat, dass es doch immer einige Zeit braucht, die eigenen Ideen umzusetzen egal wie gut sie sind.

Die Zico-PPC-Rechner sind jedoch eine sehr kleine Marktnische, die erstmal nur die jetzigen Amiga-BenutzerInnen anspricht. Mit einem LinuxPPC für diese Rechner kann der Benutzerkreis noch um ein weitere handvoll Leute erhöht werden, die dadurch eventuell auch aufs AmigaOS und AmigaDE aufmerksam werden. Einen größeren Markt wird man damit meiner Einschätzung aber nicht erreichen können. Dies könnte aber mit dem gehosteten AmigaDE für PDAs und Desktops möglich sein. Wobei ich weiterhin nicht weiß, um was es sich bei AmigaDE im Detail handelt, so dass ich nicht die geringste Ahnung habe wie interessant dieses System für BenutzerInnen andere Systeme sein könnte.

Wenn es aber auch schon jetzt ein eigenständig laufendes AmigaDE geben würde, dann würde dieses meiner Einschätzung nach nur einen kleinen Teil der installierten AmigaDE-Systemen aus machen, da der überwiegende Teil vermutlich gehostet auf anderen Systemen laufen wird. Da die BenutzerInnen so gleichzeitig ihr bekanntes System mit der bewährten Software plus dem neuen System mit der run anywhere Software nutzen könnten und nicht dazu gezwungen wären komplett von heute auf morgen auf ein neues System wechseln zu müssen.

Weil ich keine Details zu AmigaDE kenne, kann ich derzeit nicht einschätzen wie gut Amigas Zukunftsaussichten sind. Ich denke aber, dass sie ihre Planung nun auf einen soliden Boden gestellt haben, so dass die Ausgangsvoraussetzungen gut sind.

Ein möglicher Durchbruch wird meiner Meinung nach aber nicht über Nacht kommen, sondern sich nach und nach in Laufe der Jahre ergeben. Ein wichtiger Punkt wird dabei dann das portable AmigaOS V5 darstellen, in dem vermutlich das AmigaOS und AmigaDE zusammenschmelzen werden und mit dem sich Amiga dann von anderen Systemen unabhängig macht.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 We're almost to the Amiga 2001 show in Saint Louis, USA, and all the
news that has been hinted at. It's hard to believe it could contain as
much earth shattering news as we'd all like, but we do expect some
significant announcements there. We hope a number of our readers can
join us at the show for whatever news will be revealed. 
 If you do make it to the show, please be sure to say "hi" if you get
the chance. We'll be there through the entire show, and hope to have a
chance to talk to many of you.
 In the meantime, there's lots of news in the Amiga community to bring
you with this issue. There seem to be changes everywhere, especially
in the software arena, and some interesting changes on the marketing
side of the community as well. This includes saying good-bye to yet
another long-time Amiga supporter.

THENDIC "SMARTBOY" THE ONE ... ?

 There has been a lot of talk on the Net lately about a German
manufacturer bringing out a PDA which uses Amiga DE. Looks like that
company may be Thendic. Here's part of a Thendic press release that
has shown up recently on some sites:

 "With the launch of SmartBoy Thendic will realise a quantum leap. The
b2b version is launched today, a consumer version will be ready for
distribution at the end of 2001. This product will be marketed under
the label of Amiga DE. Thendic secured the rights for this name
recently."
 
 Thendic`s other product CashBoy will be marketed aggressively in
2001. The CashBoy so far used in Spain, Netherlands, Austria, Turkey,
Brazil and Argentina will be distributed in Asia and USA"

 If this proves to be true, we'll be among those first in line to
purchase one - but only if (brace yourselves for this) it can
synchronize data with a (it really hurts to say this) Windows PC. Why
on earth would we want that? Because, truth be told, a PDA is of very
limited use to most people unless you can use it as an extension of
your business desk top computer. If it can't do that, it won't survive
long. 
 I suppose there may be a future for one that can link to Linux
computers or "Star Office", but it's not as likely at the present
time.
 Look at it this way - if it can sync with Windows machines, it
becomes one way to get Windows users to use something Amiga and maybe
learn about a better way to do computing. And if it can link to
Windows, then it can be made to link to your Amiga DE or Amiga Classic
desktop also, just as has been done with Palm Pilots.

LINK TO SUPPORT ST. LOUIS SHOW

 There's still some time to help promote the Amiga 2001 show in Saint
Louis if you have a web page and haven't already gotten "into the
act". This promises to be a show with very important annoucements for
the Amiga community, as we mentioned above .
 If you have an Amiga web page, you can help support the show, and
keep it growing. Clicking on the following link will download an
archive containing a jpeg and sample html code which you can add to
your page. These will establish a link to the show's web site, and
allow Amigans to easily get information on the show. You can see them
in action on the "Amiga Update" links page. Use this URL to download
the archive:

http://www.globaldialog.com/~amigaupdate/stl.lha

 Please consider adding this link to your web page, as a contribution
to the Amiga Community.
 Those of you involved with other key Amiga shows, please let us know
if you'd like "Amiga Update" to help you distribute similar archives
of links for your shows. We're here to support the Community.

E-mail to the E-ditor:

12 March, 2001

 I was wondering if any of your readers might have a copy of the
colorgadget.library that came with MathVision? I own a legitimate copy
of the program but I deleted the library by mistake & have no backup.
I've tried on more than one occasion to contact the owners of the
MathVision website (www.olympus.net/personal/7seas/7seas.html), but
they never respond to my e-mails. I will happily supply my serial
number to anyone, proving that I own the program (if necessary). 

 Thanx in advance, 
 Jim 
~~~~~~
If anyone knows where Jim could get a legal copy of
colorgatdget.library, please contact us and we'll put him in touch
with you.
 Thanks,
 Brad

Hi Brad!

 ADUG is a regional User Group, acting as an umbrella organisation and
is open to all members of the Amiga community who reside in Australia
or New Zealand (Australasia)

  -  hence the name Amiga Downunder

 I am Secretary of ADUG, and one of three Australian members of the
Amiga Advisory Council (AAC), and I have long admired your site as a
no-nonsense provider of Amiga news. Consequently, I would like to
direct my ADUG Members to your site for news of, and about, the Amiga
via a link on ADUG's News page (if that's alright by you), but I noted
your comment recently that as there is a paucity of such news, you may
not be publishing your newsletter so often.
 
 I hope this will not always be so, as I do believe that Bill and his
team are on the right track (both in their push with the Amiga DE and
their continued support of the Classic) and I certainly look forward
to your coverage of the St Louis Amiga Show at the end of March.
 
 The purpose of this email is to ask whether you could put something
about ADUG on Amiga Update which will direct people who live in
Australia and New Zealand to our site.
 
 Something like "For more detailed information about the Amiga and the
Amiga community in Australia and New Zealand, check ut Amiga Downunder
UG Inc, the regional User Group for those living `downunder." ...

  ... using "Amiga Downunder UG  Inc" as the link to
http://www.amigadownunder.org?

Check us out.  We'd be very grateful  :))

Best wishes

~~~~~~
Basil,
 Thanks for writing - it's always a pleasure to hear from you, and
others who keep Amiga user groups running around the world for that
matter. I thought I'd run part of your letter, as you put your case in
the best words possible and your enthusiasm for the group clearly
shows.
 Readers who live in that part of the planet and who haven't checked
out ADUG owe it to themselves to do so. Help keep this great group
functioning and a strong part of the community.
 We've added an ADUG link to our "Amiga Update" archive site links
page, so those who stop by can find a quick way there.
 Brad

Opinion 
By Brad Webb

 The huge ISP company Juno has recently changed their Terms of Service
to include conditions that should cause most computer users to think
several times before signing up with them. Here's an excerpt from the
actual terms of their agreement:
 
 2.5. You expressly permit and authorize Juno to 

 (i) download to your computer one or more pieces of software (the
"Computational Software") designed to perform computations, which may
be unrelated to the operation of the Service, on behalf of Juno (or on
behalf of such third parties as may be authorized by Juno, subject to
the Privacy Statement),
 
 (ii) run the Computational Software on your computer to perform and
store the results of such computations, and
 
 (iii) upload such results to Juno's central computers during a
subsequent connection, whether initiated by you in the course of using
the Service or by the Computational Software as further described
below ... you agree not to take any action to disable or interfere
with the operation of ... any component of the Computational Software.
 
 You agree that, as between you and Juno, you shall be responsible for
any costs or expenses resulting from the continuous operation of your
computer, including without limitation any associated charges for
electricity, and that you shall have sole responsibility for any
maintenance or technical issues that might result from such continuous
operation.
 
 You agree that, as between you and Juno, Juno shall have sole rights
to the results of any computations performed by the Computational
Software, including without limitation any revenues or intellectual
property generated directly or indirectly as a result of such
computations, without further compensation to you. ...[Y]ou expressly
permit and authorize Juno to initiate a telephone connection from your
computer to Juno's central computers using a dial-in telephone number
you have previously selected for accessing the Service ... you agree
that, as between you and Juno, you shall be responsible for any costs
and expenses (including without limitation any applicable telephone
charges) resulting from the foregoing ... You agree that you will not
attempt to reverse engineer any such software, data, or other
materials or transfer or disclose any such software, data, or other
materials, or the results of any such computations, to any third
party.
 
 You acknowledge that your compliance with the requirements of this
Section 2.5 may be considered by Juno to be an inseparable part of the
Service, and that any interference with the operation of the
Computational Software (including, but not limited to, any failure to
leave your computer turned on at all times) may result in termination
or limitation of your use of the Service.
 
 
 All these words boil can be summarized in a few disturbing points.
First, you allow Juno to use your computer for whatever it wishes,
whenever it wishes to use it. You are not allowed to discover what
Juno is doing with your computer. You have to leave your computer
powered up and accessible at all times in case Juno wants to use it.
You pay to have the results of their use sent to them by e-mail. If
anything happens to your computer along the way, that's no concern of
theirs and you can do nothing about it.
 The only good we can find in this at "Amiga Update" is to assume
there may be a laugh or two at Juno's expense the first time they try
to run anything on an Amiga. We bet they have no idea what one is, and
if we're lucky maybe they don't even allow Amigas to connect. Even if
they do, we don't think we'd be interested in taking the risk.

 National Amiga has not gone bankrupt, has not been bought out by a PC
chain, and has not been abducted by aliens. There have been rumours
floating around for quite some time that National Amiga had bitten the
dust as far as Amiga retail was concerned. Simply not true! The
website has had intermittent connectivity due to a combination of site
upgrades, hardware shuffles, and problems with the broadband internet
provider. The latest incarnation of the website should be up shortly
at www.nationalamiga.com... at the present time it is sub-beta and
still very much under development, but the contact information on the
page is still the same. You see "Archtech Computers" on the banner...
Arch Computer Technology has been the parent company of National Amiga
for many, many years. Similarly, they've been doing multiplatform
retail and service for a very long time. That hasn't changed!

After six months of continuous distribution of Mediator PCI it must
be admitted that Mediator PCI has appeared to be a real hit
on Amiga market. Huge and still increasing number of Mediator users
have an opportunity to appreciate how significantly the
possibilities of the computer have grown due to introduction
of PCI standard cards to Amiga.

Our next step, which is about to take place, is to allow Mediator's
users to extend the computer with the new excellent turbo card
fitted to Mediator PCI busboard - SharkPPC G3/G4.

Those who fail to accept this marvellous product with respect
that should undoubtedly be given concerning its design, try
to underestimate its unquestionable worth by spreading not
true rumour about Mediator. In order to make this situation
clear we feel obliged to answer to this rumour.

Rumour: If your jumper is set on 8MB and you have 'vertical lines'
        trashing on the screen, you may have a buggy board.

No, it is not the true.
The fact of appearing 'vertical lines' on the screen is definitely
not the result of any fault of Mediator's board.
The presence of 'vertical line' is the result of the hardware
protection, which was installed in Mediator's busboards.

In order to avoid 'vertical lines' it is enough to set the
'memory window' jumper to 4 MB according to Mediator User's Manual.

The hardware protection was designed to enable the sell
of commercial software for Mediator's busboard secured by
the hardware key, which was supposed to be available together
with that software.
After the negotiations on WOA 2000 we have changed our plans
as far as the distribution of the graphic drivers with full
hardware acceleration implemented is concerned.
As a result of this decision the protection had been removed
from the Mediators that are being sold after the 13th
December 2000.

We do not plan to offer the upgrade of the MACH chip in which
the protection is placed, as in the forthcoming days we are going
to release the software for the Mediator which enables the reaching
of full busboard's performance independently of the 'memory window'
jumper's setting.

23 March, 2001

 A statement from Martina Kramer: "Macintosh has a program called
Distiller. This program converts postscript files in a certain source
directory to PDF files in an output directory. We (Amiga) have
Ghostscript to create PDF files. AutoPDF uses Ghostscript to convert
postscript files into PDF files. The nice thing about AutoPDF is that
it will monitor a given directory untill files (or just one) are
copied into it, then it will convert the file to a PDF file placing it
(and the original file) into a given destination directory. Just run
AutoPDF in the background and it will convert any postscript file
placed in the source directory automatically. However, since creating
a PDF file with Ghostscript eats up most of your processor time,
conversion will only start after 'activating' the AutoPDF window.
 
 The program has been uploaded to Aminet, but if you want to try it
NOW... Hope it is as helpfull for you as it is for us..."

 FormAldiHyd is a driver intended for the Aldi/Medion/Tevion MD 9310
graphic tablet and WacomIV compatible tablets. I bought a MD 9310 in
summer 2000, but have been too lazy to write a driver until November
2000. German speaking people are proposed to spell the name of this
software as "From-Aldi-Hütt'" ;)
 
 This program has been out some time now and has proven to be stable.

It works with:
- AipTek HyperPen 6000 (maybe other boards aswell, still unconfirmed).
- Aldi/Medion MD 9310 and Aldi/Tevion LT 9310.
- Wacom IV compatible (PenPartner etc.) (experimental)
- Sumagraphics compatible boards (unconfirmed).

 Starting with V2.2 it finally works with MFC and IOBlix serial ports!
 
 This is probably the only tablet driver that correctly works with all
known (MUI) applications and at the same time has full pressure
support.
 
 Some portions of the code have been ported from the xf86HyperPen.c
source by Roland Jansen <roland@lut.rwth-aachen.de> and Christian
Herzog <daduke@dataway.ch>, who has taken over development of
xf86HyperPen.c.
 
 The experimental WacomIV support has been ported from the xf86Wacom.c
source by Frederic Lepied <Fredric.Lepied@sugix.frmug.org>.

Short list of features:

 - Comes both as CLI-only/WB (no GUI) and MUI version.
 
 - Works with Tevion MD 9310 and AipTek HyperPen 6000. Probably works
with other boards aswell (SummaGraphics compatible?).
 
 - Can be run either in 9600 or 19200 baud mode.
 
 - Supports pressure, which can be scaled to your requirements (e.g.
with ArtEffect).
 
 - Versatile support of the functions keys at top of the tablet.
 
 - Can play sounds on button presses to make clicks audible.
 
 - Supports a threshold value for the left mouse button.
 
 - Middle and right mouse button can be swapped for stylus.
 
 - Mouse and Stylus can use different active areas.
 
 - Mouse can be used in relative mode. A mode for left handed people
is also available.
 
 - Automatic detection of stylus and mouse.
 
 - Tablet orientation can be changed by swapping x and y coordinates.
 
 - Lots of different resolution can be chosen (up to 3048 LPI!).
 
 - Fully compatible with MUI applications.
 
 - Even works with low level software that reads the input events
directly (Cinema4D, MagicMenu, etc.)
 
Usage 
~~~~~ 

There are two different programs for you to choose:
 
 FormAldiHyd - tablet driver with MUI interface (interactive) Formalin
- CLI only/Workbench version (argument/ToolTypes driven)
 
Pressure support ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 

 Now this is a sad story. I've done everything the AutoDocs say, but
neither TVPaint, XIPaint nor Photogenics 2 seem to support the
Intuition NEWTABLET messages and therefore readout the pressure value.
ArtEffect however, supports it in various ways (try out 'Tablet:
Intuos' or 'Accupoint').

 Please send me an email if you use this program. Thanks to those who
have done so already.

Future
~~~~~~
Here's a list of stuff that is planned for the next releases:

 - Gamma corrected pressure instead of linear scaling?
 
 - Adding some functionality to the middle mouse button.
 
 - Try out if old OS 2.x TABLET messages might help for other
applications pressure support.
 
 - tablet.library emulation for DPaint pressure support? If anyone has
docs on this library, please send them it!

• Now have "direct" mode of JIT working thanks to patches from Bernd Roesch, but this (currently) requires WinUAE to be compiled under VisualC++ instead of GCC/MinGW32, which thus breaks the bsdsocket.library emulation.
• Now have virtual Picasso96 screens (Bernd Roesch)
• Merged in many changes from 0.8.16 core UAE tree (Bernd Schmidt). Note: This breaks AGA sprites completely.
