_#TWF News.#_

#1. Explorer 2260 Update.# 

#2. Maim & Mangle Update.# #3. Next News Update#

~~~~~~

#1. Explorer 2260 Update.#

This is what has been added (on the design and programming end of things) to
Explorer 2260 in June.

- Core system, file operation and synchronisation code complete.

- High-level command interpreter V1 (non-optimised) complete.

- external game preferences and startup module complete.

Unfortunately outside development commitments have got in the way and could
reduce the amount of work that can be done on the game (programming side of
things) over the next couple of months. Hopefully this won't affect the
current release schedule too much.

#2. Maim & Mangle Update.#

Well this month has had quite a lot of developments over the past month.
These include:

 - First screenshots of the present game engine have been put on to the TWF
   website. These are early pictures of the
   engine and will have quite a few improvements in appearance over the
   next few months.

 - 3D landscape has now been added to the engine (no screenshots of it in a
   week or thereabouts).

 - Units can be moved.

 - A secondary window on the GUI allows up to 3 units selected to display
   the viewpoint from their perspective (this will go from wireframe to
   fully texturemapped depending on the specification of the amiga).

 - 16 bit mode (only CVPPC/BVPPC)

 - scroll the camera with the mouse.

 - transparencies on the remote unit marker

 - shadows (yeah, units/buildings leave their shadow on the terrain). Work
   still to be done on that to improve the look.

 - min obj, to speedup the engine when using zoom factor 3

 - New Terrain Editor

 - I'm sure there are loads of other stuff added that I've forgot about it's
   been updated so much recently. :)

There are still loads to do in July of-course and these include:

 - a new gui (maybe based on semi-transparent floating windows)

 - more fx effects

 - first AI implementation

There was also several work on our internal development tool, M3D editor and
Terrain editor.

A decision on the new GFX artist(s) for Maim & Mangle will be made this
Monday/Tuesday (as long as it's not the end of the world on Sunday :).

#3. Next News Update#

31st July/1st August

All the best,
Ed.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 We're about half way through the year, and what a year it's been so
far. It seems there's a genuine rebirth of confidence in the future
for Amiga. We have also discovered Amiga's new president is at home on
the web, and is actively using it. What a pleasant surprise that's
been! We have a number of thoughts from Jim Collas below that were
initially shared with the Amiga community through web postings. He's
even responded to a letter printed in "Amiga Update", and made sure
the facts got to our readers. This is all very good.
 Perhaps not so good, but who can be sure, the year has seen a rash of
"promise to pay or I won't make/write it" marketing schemes. I have
mixed feelings about those, but generally don't like them. We hear
from a reader on that topic in this issue.
 I don't want to get into a long "the year so far in review" column,
so I'll drop that theme right here. Instead I'll point out that we
seem to be missing another issue from the archives, just as we've
completed an effort to recover a number of issues that had been lost
along the way. This is issue 980525, which I didn't even realize we
had. (Embarrassed blush follows.) If anyone knows of or has a copy,
please help us out. We'll add it to the archive, and to our newly
revised backup plans.
 One last thing - the Amiga Yellow Pages (http://ayp.amiga.tm) are
putting "Amiga Update" online in a snazzy html format. Stop by, take a
look, and let them know what you think.
 Best regards,
 Brad Webb,

E-mail to the E-ditor:

Greetings Brad,

 I enjoy the Amiga Update, and read the posts religiously. I have
noticed a trend lately in the Amiga community that is just now
starting to take off, the Pre-Pay. I am an understanding individual, I
can see that some products may warrant a drastic measure such as this,
but it is going too far. First, we have phase5 asking for pre orders
for the new G-3 based cards. Thats fine, hardware is expensive and
their funds were depleted by an earlier, uhm, boo boo. Since it worked
for them, some other hardware producers have followed the lead. But,
this deal about Fusion and PCx?? Oh, give me a break! Sometimes,
companies just need to take a chance. I might pre-order some hardware,
but not an emulator. Did the original version of Fusion do well? Did
they make a profit? With the new G-3s coming, I don't see how they
could insult us so. Where is it going to stop? Am I going to have to
pre-pay for my next pair of shoes before they are made? I'm sorry if I
am too loud, but this is too much. I have an A1200(infinitiv tower)
040/32m, and an A3000 that is waiting for a G-3.
 Anyway, Brad, thank you so much for continuing to produce a fine
newsletter. I read it often, and share the content (and the text
files) with my non-i-net friends.

Until H&P needs 700 pre-orders for os3.6,
Dave
~~~~~~

Dave,
 On balance, I agree with you. I doubt I'd ever do a pre-pay just
because it almost feels like blackmail. By the way, you'll have a long
wait before you find a pre-pay from Haage & Partner. They've gone on
record as stating they don't approve of the procedure, so "OS 3.6"
should be free of it. Good for them!
 Brad

Brad,

 I have a Gateway Win95 box at home (in addition to my A3000 and
A4000). My internal IDE Zip drive on that machine failed, such that
you would insert a disk, the drive would start clicking slowly, and
nothing else would happen. Gateway replaced it for free.

 This was discussed briefly in MaximumPC magazine, in an interview
with Zip's president. He acknowledge the problem, which seems to have
been fixed.

 Sincerely,
John

P.S. - I am quite grateful for Amiga Update - thanks!
~~~~~~
Hi John,
 Glad you're enjoying the Update, and thanks for your information.
There is also much information on the net. Point a web browser at any
good search engine and look for "Zip" and "click of death". It's
amazing how many turn up. Our thanks to all the readers who sent us
the URLs of their "favorite" Zip COD sites.
 Brad

{The following was posted to the net recently by Amiga President Jim
Collas. We think you'll find his words very interesting. Brad}

> feel free to start a thread here and we shall do our best to give
> you the answers you seek, and we shall try to keep it on topic wont
> we people .......

 How can I refuse such a request? I have many postings and emails
about the critical features like CPU, multimedia capabilities, 3D
graphics performance, etc. Even though I am a bit rusty from years as
a large corporate executive, I have extensive experience as a hardware
designer focused on advanced computer architecture so I think I
understand these basic requirements. Putting the mainstream features
aside, I would like feedback on 3 targeted areas:

 1) I would really like some feedback on our overall strategy. I have
outlined our strategy in my last two postings in the executive update
section on our web page. I would like people to read these and give me
some feedback. Focus on the creation of a integrated, networked, and
distributed computing environment supporting powerful multimedia
computers and easy-to-use information appliances. Keep in mind that we
are using the emerging Information Appliance market to build momentum
for a new platform.

 2) I would also like some input on our implementation strategy. We
have spent the last four months researching technology and identifying
the best technology available in the world. Many top companies have
spent billions of $ generating some very exciting technology.
Technology like Java, Jini, QNX, Linux, new CPUs, graphics chips,
audio, etc. Our plan is to integrate the best technology in the world
into a new exciting computer platform focused on the future. We will
do this using Amiga developed object technology, GUI interfaces,
industry standards (PCI, USB, etc)and custom hardware. The resulting
platform will be revolutionary in nature allowing people to do things
they can't do with other computers. This is in the spirit of the Amiga
brand and the original Amiga computer. We will also offer a degree of
backwards compatibility with the current Amiga.

 3) The QNX kernel is very similar to the Linux kernel since they are
both variations of Unix. Because of this, we can leverage Linux device
drivers and even some applications. What do people think of leveraging
resources in the Linux community. They are the other great "non-MS"
community. This could help us accelerate our schedule. Remember that
the O/S kernel is only a small part of our software and overall
architecture. We still have Amiga GUI, Amiga objects, custom device
drivers, advanced networking, and the hardware architecture.

 This is enough for now. One more note, I will be traveling on
business for several days and won't have a chance to check this thread
until this upcomming week-end. I will look forward to the responses.

Sincerely,
Jim

{the following exchange was between Amiga's Jim Collas and Philip
Kaulfuss in the Amiga newsgroups. Severl postings have been combined
and edited here. Philip's comments have > preceding them, those by Jim
Collas do not. Brad}

> Judging from this month's Amiga Format interview with Jim Collas, the
> new Amiga is 'just' going to be a very high-spec PC running QNX.


I haven't read Ben's write up yet but I don't recall saying anything to
the effect that the new Amiga will just be a high-end PC. This isn't an
accurate statement if you are referring to a Wintel PC. The new Amiga
will be very different than a Wintel PC. The only elements we will
share are industry standards like PCI, USB, etc. These are computer
industry standards and not Wintel PC standards. I think it's obvious
why we need to support good industry standards when possible. CPU and
core chipset will definitely be different and we are still evaluating
graphics alternatives. The O/S, GUI, APIs, software structure, etc.
will all be completely different. The new Amiga will be as similar to a
Wintel PC as the Apple Mac is.

> I didn't have Wintel in mind: I think it will take after the PC
> in that it will be using standard components.

 Thanks for the clarification. Our plan is to integrate the most
impressive emerging technologies into a unique and exciting solution.
There are many great companies working on exciting technology for next
generation computers in general. Many of the companies are only
working on pieces of the solution and don't know exactly how to bring
their technology to market. Our value is to pull it all together. We
are also looking at ways to emulate parts of the original Amiga at
lower levels. Once we release more information I think Amigans will be
very excited about the new Amiga.

 I understand. I can't comment on this without disclosing more than I
should at this time. This is tough for me also since I am personally
anxious to share more with the Amiga community. We will have more
details at WoA and AmiWest.

             A M I G A F E S T   9 9   -   U P D A T E

25th June 1999

 AmigaFest 99 (formerly referred to as Amiga Expo 99) at the Dayton
Computerfest®, one of the country's largest computer shows, will be
held at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio on 28 & 29 August. It is a show not
to be missed for Amiga users and the excitement continues to grow.

 O.S. 3.5 is to be formally released the weekend before AmigaFest 99
at the Amiga Show in Australia. While it will go on sale in North
America at the same time, AmigaFest 99 will be the first Computer Show
here where it will be available. We are seeing a lot of new products
being announced now and this will be the first opportunity for the
users to see them and for the developers and manufacturers to display
them in the eastern half of the country. Don't miss this opportunity!

 This show is being fully supported by Amiga. They have kindly
supplied some items for prizes to be given away. We have two Amiga
1200s and several Mice, Pads, and posters to give away. We are also in
discussion with Amiga Inc. executives about the possiblity of their
attendance. Don't miss this opportunity either!

 AmigaFest 99 is a unique opportunity for Amiga Users:

 o It will provide you an opportunity to see and purchase all of the
new Amiga products.
 o It will provide you access to a concentration of Amiga Vendors so
you can get the Amiga gear you need/want, often at special show
prices.
 o It will provide you access to an incredible selection of general
computer equipment such as drives, storage media, printers, etc., at
incredible prices. 4. As with all Amiga Shows, the opportunity to
spend time socializing with fellow Amiga Users and Luminaries.

 An Amiga Get Together off-site, since there are no facilities except
snack bars at Hara Arena, is in the planning stages for Saturday
night. It will be informal at a facility where we can dine together
with a social time following. It will be pay as you go, order your own
meals and other refreshments. No formal presentations, unless we have
visitors from Amiga, who would be welcome to speak to the gathering.

 We planning two Amiga forums in the seminar rooms. Additional Amiga
presentations are welcome, however, we must commit the rooms before
others do. Anyone desiring to give a presentation at the show please
contact Ron Schwartz as soon as possible so we can get the rooms
committed.

 The exhibitors that are currently committed to AmigaFest 99 include:

   o Compuquick Media Center
   o FWD Computers
   o Dan's Deals
   o E. S. Productions
   o AmiTech-Dayton
   o AMICON

Tentative exhibitors:

   o Nova Design

 We have also had initial contact from other vendors, some individuals
considering a table to sell some of their old gear, and several User
Groups. Vendors, Developers, User Groups and individuals considering
exhibiting, demonstrating, or selling, there is no better place than
AmigaFest 99/Computerfest®. Cost is only $60 per table and that gives
you access to 30,000 attendees. It is surprising too, how many of
those are Amiga Users who are not in the mainstream and do not get the
magazines or go to the Amiga shows, but come here to get the bargain
equipment. It is also amazing how many people with little money find
what they can afford in a PC is useless, but an old Amiga, for cheap,
is still capable of doing amazing things.

 AmigaFest 99 at Computerfest® is a unique opportunity both for the
user as well as the vendors and other exhibitors. It's a great time to
be an Amiga supporter. Don't miss this opportunity to spread the word!
SEE YOU IN DAYTON!!

 Play Co-CEO and Visionary Paul Montgomery
 1960 - 1999, Earth
 1999 -     , Elsewhere

 June 21, 1999 - Rancho Cordova, CA - Paul Montgomery, Co-CEO of Play
Incorporated, died of a sudden heart attack late Saturday night while
vacationing with his wife in Seattle. Mr. Montgomery, 39, served as
President, Co-CEO and a member of the board of directors since
co-founding Play with his partner Mike Moore in 1994. Mr. Montgomery
is survived by his wife, Michele, his parents and siblings as well as
his extended family of friends at Play and throughout the industry.

 "This is an overwhelming loss both for Play and for the entire
industry. Paul was a visionary leader and a tremendous force shaping
the future of video, communications and the Internet," said Mike
Moore, Mr. Montgomery's partner and Co-CEO, "To his family, friends,
and co-workers he was a boundless source of wisdom, love and creative
energy. Beyond those he touched personally, Paul shaped the lives of
millions of people through the ideas, technologies and products he
championed into existence."

 "Paul will continue to touch millions more people through the teams
he molded and the powerful visions he seeded here at Play. Paul often
said, 'The best way to predict the future is to invent it.' Today, his
loving friends, partners and co-workers at Play proudly dedicate
ourselves to honoring Paul's memory by continuing forward to invent
the future he so passionately believed in."

 Prior to starting Play, Paul Montgomery was instrumental in launching
the desktop video industry. In 1986, Mr. Montgomery left his position
as a product manager at industry leader Electronic Arts to join a
fledgling company called NewTek. Mr. Montgomery's work catapulted
NewTek from a garage startup to one of the most influential companies
in video. In 1987, Mr. Montgomery and his co-workers conceived a new
kind of video production tool which Mr. Montgomery dubbed the Video
Toaster. The Video Toaster is now widely credited with launching the
desktop video industry and resulted in a Prime Time Emmy Award for Mr.
Montgomery and the Toaster team in 1992.

 In 1994 Mr. Montgomery left NewTek, and later that year founded Play
Incorporated with partner Mike Moore and a close-knit team of former
co-workers. Together, Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Moore developed a unique
corporate culture based on self-organizing teams and creatively
nurturing environments. This innovative leadership has made Play one
of the most successful and highly-respected companies in the high-tech
industry. In the 1996 book, 'The Age of Videography', Mr. Montgomery
was cited as one of the 25 most influential people in the history of
video. Mr. Montgomery and Mr. Moore were named recently by Wired
Magazine as two of the most influential people in the future of
Hollywood.

 This week Play will launch a memorial website dedicated to Mr.
Montgomery where the millions of people he touched can gather to
celebrate his life and achievements. The site will be reachable
through a link on the Play Incorporated site. Photos and written
memories may be emailed to: ThanksPaul@play.com or sent to: Thanks
Paul, Play Incorporated, 2890 Kilgore Rd. Rancho Cordova, CA
95670-6133.

 Play Incorporated was founded in 1994 by a team of well-known
computer and video industry pioneers with the goal of bringing
high-end video and graphics capabilities to PCs and the Internet.
Among its award-winning products are the Snappy Video Snapshot, the
best-selling video peripheral in history, Trinity, which
revolutionized TV production and graphics throughout the world, Gizmos
98, PC Magazine's 1998 Product of the Year and Electric Image, the
low-cost 3D animation software used to create spectacular visual
effects for the recently released Star Wars and Austin Powers films.

25 June 1999

 Georg Hoermann has decided to discontinue VirusZ II. The good news is
that he is going to keep updating the xvs.library and VirusZ III.
VirusZ II was and always will be a very good virus killer, because the
brain of VZ II is the xvs.library. Now Virus Help Denmark has recieved
the source code of VZ II and they are looking for someone to develop
and improve VZ II. If you think you´re the right person for this job,
send e-mail to vht-dk@post4.tele.dk telling about you and why we
should give you the source code of VZ II. If Georg Hoermann and Virus
Help Denmark think you are OK, you ´ll get the source via snail mail
soon.

26 Jun 19999

 It has now been quite some time since news first came out about the
BoXeR, a fully Amiga compatible motherboard being produced by Access
Information. In that time the project has suffered various delays,
some to do with the problematic situation in the Amiga market, and
others to do with a desire to improve the specification of the
product.

 At last BoXeR is nearing completion. The final board design is due to
enter prototyping within the next few days, and a prototype board
should be on display at the stand of distributor Blittersoft at the
World of Amiga show in London on the 24th to 25th of July. It is quite
likely that the board will not be fully functional by the time of the
show.

 Updated specification

 The main reason for the delays in BoXeR is a radical redesign which
will provide a significantly more up-to-date and powerful motherboard
than has been previously announced. The board pictured here was the
original motherboard design intended to be a modernised A4000 - the
new BoXeR contains a far more powerful feature set, close to what had
been mooted for the BoXeR 2 in the past.

 Probably the most obvious improvement is the inclusion on the
motherboard of 4 fully active PCI slots, which will enable BoXeR
owners to expand their machine with cheap but powerful PCI cards.
Although we will have to wait and see which cards will have drivers
written for them, we can expect to see SCSI cards, cheap 100MBit
Ethernet, powerful soundcards, internal modems and low cost but
phenomenally powerful graphics cards such as the Voodoo Banshee which
provides better than BlizzardVisionPPC performance for well under
£100. However the improvements do not stop there.

 High speed DMA I/O transfer means that most peripherals will work at
high speeds with lower CPU overheads - you'll be able to use fast
serial and parallel devices, UDMA hard drives and so on. This, along
with ATX formfactor, DIMM sockets and PS/2 peripheral compatibility,
will make the BoXeR a very powerful and cheap to expand system.

 BoXeR is also designed to bring the more specifically Amiga aspects
of the architecture up to date. The thing that is most likely to
please and surprise the Amiga faithful is that the BoXeR has a highly
integrated single chip replacement for the AGA chipset, which is
feature compatible but will include significant enhancements,
including for the first time a total removal of the Chip RAM barrier.
A 64 bit wide connector for a PowerPC expansion card will also allow a
cheap solution for future upgrades to G3 or even G4 processors.

The latest specifications for the BoXeR motherboard are as follows:

 o 100% Amiga compatible.
 o ATX motherboard based on Amiga technology - fits in standard PC
   Desktop/Tower case..
 o Motorola 68040 or 68060 at 25-75MHz supported in a single processor
   socket..
 o Highly integrated single chip chip-set, AGA feature compatible but
   with performance enhancements..
 o Most peripherals support high speed DMA transfers, increasing
   throughput while reducing processor overhead..
 o No CHIP RAM limits..
 o 2 x DIMM sockets for combined use as FAST/CHIP..
 o Dual IDE Hard disk interface, supports fast IDE modes..
 o Flash ROM 2Mb, 32 bit wide. Used for boot ROM's and resident
   modules..
 o Hi-Density floppy disk drive interface, uses standard PC floppy
   drives..
 o CD-ROM audio input connector and mixer..
 o Real Time Clock..
 o Keyboard port for standard low cost PC PS/2 keyboard..
 o Mouse port for standard low cost PC PS/2 mouse..
 o 4 x Active PCI slots..
 o Amiga Video slot..
 o Expansion connector to support 5xZorro 3 slots..
 o Connector for full 64-bit PowerPC expansion card..

Connectors :

 o Printer port..
 o RGB video..
 o PS/2 Keyboard..
 o PS/2 Mouse..
 o Serial port..
 o Amiga Joystick port..
 o Stereo audio..
 o IDE - 40 pin (Dual) header.
 o Floppy drive DF0:/DF1: header.

 AmiDog's Movie Player

 - The worlds fastest Movie Player for your PPC equiped Amiga!

 Another release with some new cool (?) features! IMPORTANT: I've
changed the way the prefs file looks, so your old file won't work
anymore!

 o New features:
 o Frameskip (AMP automatically skips B-frames when required).
 o Seeking (just hold down the right mouse button and move the mouse
 left/right).
 o Uses my AsyncIOPPC (WarpUP) routines for faster playback (+10%).
 o 15bit now also uses direct gfxmem access.
 o New way of defining the prefs, you can also use GetBestMode,
 Requester or PAL.


 o Removed bugs:
 o CGFX support only worked on 8/16/32bit screens.
 o AMP did crash if the MPEG had audio and reported 0kHz as the
 samplerate.
 o If the MPEG reports size 0x0, AMP assumes 352*288.
 o There used to be no way of setting the default path.


 o Known bugs:
 o None.


 o Features to be added (in no particular order):
 o Custom playback size.
 o Window playback.
 o More speed.
 o AVI/QT/ANIM/FLI/FLC... support.

 Please don't contact me about problems that are described above!
Thanks!

• Deskjet-Utility: Druckkopf-Ausrichtung funktioniert nicht für Deskjet 890.
• "Drucker nicht bereit" Fehlermeldungen kommen zu früh
• HP DeskJet 8xx druckt Text bei FinalWriter oder Wordworth manchmal mit zuviel Farbe
  
• betrifft nur V7.00 von der Computer '98:
• Epson Stylus Color 300 druckt im Farbmodus die Farben versetzt
• Bei Hardcopies von 16/24-Bit Bildschirmen wird schwarz durch weiß ersetzt
• Die druckerspezifischen Einstellungen werden zwar verwendet, aber nicht abgespeichert

1. Ich kann mich jetzt voll auf das Geschäft konzentrieren und werde somit auch viele der Fehler, die in den letzten 2 Jahren leider passiert sind, vermeiden können. Für diese Fehler entschuldige ich mich hiermit bei allen, die darunter zu leiden hatten.
2. Wir bieten (erst einmal befristet bis Ende August) folgende Sonderaktionen/Preise an:
   • Bei jedem Einkauf, der den Warenwert von 150,- DM (inkl. MwSt.) übersteigt, erhalten Sie kostenlos die CD GOLDEN GAMES mit 1000 Top Games für den Amiga. Wahlweise kann auch das Spiel KangFu (CD) oder das Programm Pelikan Press (Diskette) genommen werden (solange der Vorrat reicht).
   • Wir senken dem Preis für die Arbeitseinheit (AE) / 10 Min. von 18,50 DM auf 16,- DM pro AE. Das ergibt einen Stundenpreis von nur noch 96,- DM anstatt 111,- DM.
3. Ab Anfang - Mitte Juli kann im Geschäft auch mit der VISA/Eurocard/Diners Club Kreditkarte bezahlt werden.

• Vormittag: Montag - Freitag 10.00 - 14.00 Samstag 10.00 - 13.00 Uhr
• Nachmittag: Dienstag - Freitag 15.00 - 18.00 Uhr
• ACHTUNG: Montag nachmittag geschlossen
