New NList and NListtree versions
Sebastian Bauer writes:
The new MUI classes NList and NListtree versions are now available for download on my homepage. The archives also contain the MorphOS versions (created by Jens Langner). Should there still be any problems with these versions, please tell me so I can fix them in time for the "stable" release.

Voltmeter software completed
I herewith announce that the software for my voltmeter hardware has been
completed. This should be able to run on all A1200s and A4000s. However, it
would have to be adapted for A500 and A600. This is because the software uses
the 32bit width of the address data.

Amiga Inc.: Amiga Absence at CeBIT 2003 in Hannover
Amiga Absence at CeBIT
Mar 6, 2003 - Late last year, Amiga announced its intention to launch
AmigaOS4.0 at the CeBIT show
in Germany. Since then, the project has
advanced into its final stages but unfortunately not to the point where
we are ready to ship. We have thus decided not to attend the Cebit
Germany show. Instead we are looking at other shows and opportunities
in the near future to provide a suitable platform for the launch of
the new Amiga.

Warning: Nethands.de Warned About Missing Banner
As already
reported many times,
many homepage makers (it doesn't matter if they are private or commercial) are not aware that the new telecommunications service law (TDG) and/or the intermediate services state regulations (MDStV) include a provision requiring a banner. There are constantly resourceful (or better put, flighty) lawyers who want to earn their bread with warnings.
Flighty therefore, because it could be possible throughout to draw attention to a possible violation through email, and to offer to help out. If this remains unsuccessful first of all, our opinion about a warning is justified. The law is conclusively implemented to protect the surfer, and not to to enrich lawyers through warnings as well.
Read under the title link about how Nethands.de handles the warning, and help them if you have the opportunity.

Image Editing: ImageMagick Version 5.5.5
ImageMagick is a robust collection of tools to read, write, and
manipulate an image in many image
formats
(over 87 major formats) including popular formats like TIFF, JPEG,
PNG, PDF, PhotoCD, and GIF. With ImageMagick you can create images
dynamically, making it suitable for Web applications.
You can also resize, rotate, sharpen, color reduce, or add special
effects to an image or image sequence and save your completed work
in the same or differing image format. Image processing operations
are available from the command line, as well as through C, C++,
Perl, or Java programming interfaces (it needs about 40 MB of free
disk, check the
.readme
file).

and be amazed at the first 18 logos appearing on A.D.A. This

Convention: Computer & Video Swap Meet Bremen - March 1st & 2nd, 2003
On the first and second of March 2003 the Computer and Video Swap Meet will take place in Bürgerzentrum Neue Vahr. On both days the hours of this convention are from 9 am until 5 pm. The gathering is a sales convention for end users; there will be hardware and software from many categories offered. The
Users of the North Sea Coast have two rooms this time. The Atari Computer Club of Bremen organizes the schedule with individual activities.
On the first level:
- Video-processing with the Amiga. DVD on the Amiga, Digital cameras on the Amiga, direct comparison between PPC and 060 (Earth 2140
and other games). The following software will be demonstrated: MediaPoint,
SCALA-MM-400, Digital-Almanac, AmiAtlas-6 and eventually iFusion and naturally TV on Amiga (PixelView in comparison to Picasso IV). Additionally a highly upgraded Amiga 4000D in an Elbox tower with PPC, USB and
PCI (TV, ethernet, sound und graphic cards) will be shown. The innards of this computer are visible through plexiglass casing under blue illumination, and it is just one of several Amigas to be seen
- Video-processing with Amiga, PC and Mac; here's where the newest programs line up to go for it. Old films may be digitally processed and placed on DVD through the use of internal or external expansions, and all this without using a PC or Mac.
- Linux KNOPPIX 3.1 (the CD is from the Federal Bureau for Security and Information Technology) will be demonstrated in an hard-drive installation.
On the second level:
- The Mac display area will be found here, and the following computers shown:
Pictures and Info.
- Many diverse hardware technologies of storage media clear through to viewable opened components will be shown. These systems will mostly be shown running, with explanations and demonstrations of the equipment. They'll be actively shown with the operating systems and software performing functions.
- During this time visitors themselves may do hands-on utilization of the equipment and/or play games.
- Additional some advertising spots from the 70s and 80s will be played.
The company Falkemedia will have free newspapers for Amiga and Mac available. A big thanks to A. Goukassian of Kiel.
Both days we're going to be running a webcam, reachable at the following URLs:
http://www.udnimweb.de/Webcam.html.
Addendum by Otto Dette by email:
We received news from Falcon that we'll be first receiving a preview CD of the video from the Aachen convention, in order to show it.

Emulator: Status Quo of UAE for Mac OS X
Both the port of the Unix Amiga Emulator for Mac OS X by Marin Saric and the development of Max UAE by Alex Kasic have been on ice for
several weeks. AMIGAplus editor Wolfgang Böhl reports on the status of UAE for Mac OS X:
The current Mac-modified source code version 0.8.22 beta 1 of Max UAE emulator was placed online at the beginning of January. This means
that compilation attempts and continued development by third parties are theoretically possible.
From the assortment of alternatives Wolfgang Böhl took a look at the UNIX sources, compiled them for the Mac OS X kernel, and tried to get
them running with Apple's X11 offering. And look: it works! After the first problems with a high crash tendency the emulator port is fairly
stable. Nevertheless there are problems with mouse emulation and poor performance. Accordingly, a graphical configuration menu is being
prepared right now.
With wideranging programmer experience nothing should stand in the way of a successful port of UAE to Mac OS X. On that
basis we applaud the contributing coders!

Genesi: More Details about STBs, Pegasos I, and OS4
In two public comments on ANN
Bill Buck and Raquel Velasco made known some more details on, among other things, their STB (set-top box) activities and AmigaOS 4 for the Pegasos.
The previously announced first major contract for DTV/STB has an initial quota of 150,000 units (with the previously mentioned option of over one million units).
Beyond that, in the meantime, there has been a further DTV-STB project, which, it is stated, will insure the company's financial stability. This is to allow them to solidify their contractual obligations with business partners, developers and associates, building a stable foundation for the future.
The Debian team alone encompasses 20 developers, Genesi reports.
Of about 400-450 new Pegasos 1s there are supposedly only around 85 remaining.
Additionally it was once again pointed out that a broad web-based sales and support strategy will be built up. To this end better documentation and more online resources are needed, and a full palette of applications must be programmed or ported. This will require time and talent. And so more people are currently being sought for this mission. Interested parties should make themselves known to bbrv@genesi.lu.
With respect to AmigaOS: BBRV finds it a foregone conclusion that when OS4 is ready, it will find its way to the Pegasos. Not that Genesi will do this nor that it will require Genesi's support, only that somebody is going to do it. In relation to this BBRV intended to contact Ben Hermans (Hyperion) today. It is seen as a likelihood that in the end Hyperion will posess the IP rights to the classic AmigaOS, and then surely they will want to sell OS4 to every user with a PPC computer, and so BBRV is convinced that the Pegasos family of products will be there as the largest target market.

that offer a forum for demo-programmers. A "demo" is a program that does
not require interaction with the user, as opposed to game demos. It's a
combination of graphics, music and special effects - a presentation of
the hardware capabilities, the programmer's and the artist's skills
(graphics and music).

In the current issue of c't (German print magazine) 5/2003, coming next Monday,

It's about the localisation of the products of the graphics software developer XARA, in the beginning the font renderer Xara3D v5 for the German speaking people. But this shows obviously their turning to non Amiga products - facts follow their words...

Genesi statement about the Pegasos II changes
This is a letter we sent out today to the "inside" group...(sorry no images!)...
22 February 2003
Dear Friends of Genesi,
We wanted to provide some basic communication this weekend to all of you, because
frankly our focus this past week has been the Management meetings here in Paris.
We hope that this letter will assist you in understanding more clearly the
direction of the Company. Please feel free to respond directly to us at
bbrv@genesi.lu with your questions. If you understand and share our vision,
you can adjust your effort to become more relevant to our corporate framework
if you desire.
As we have said before, Genesi stands on the verge of enormous opportunity.
We can provide a completely integrated solution, including hardware, operating
system, and a number of (bundled and unbundled) applications. We can innovate
in ways that involve the complete integrated package, rather than being limited
to new developments within each level by third parties (HP and Microsoft are not
as self-reliant in this way). Genesi and our associates need to leverage this
advantage fully. We are smaller, faster and will be necessarily more adventurous
in our efforts. Do not hesitate to share your most creativity ideas with these
mailing lists. Together, we believe we can create a substantial and long
awaited change to the IT marketplace.
In the first BIG opportunity to our Company, we are required to develop using a
PPC and MorphOS, a terrestrial Digital Television receiver with interactive/computing
and smart card read and write functions (to be referred to as the DTV STB). This
product will not require the use of the Articia and we will be producing significant
quantities in the development phase and a special version of MorphOS (without hurting
the complete version). If we deliver the DTV STB in a satisfactory manner we will
be eligible to receive orders for over one million units. It is a once-in-a-lifetime
professional opportunity for all of us. We need to make the most of it.
Of course, none of this would be possible without the years of dedication required
to bring the Pegasos and MorphOS to where it is today. We are all proud to be
associated with the bplan guys. The difficulties over the last year have nothing
to do with them. It is the Articia from Mai Logic that has caused us months of
delays. It does not perform to the advertised specifications. Thankfully, Gerald
and Thomas tested and mounted the Aritica on the April2. That is right -- the April2.
The first patch that Gerald and Thomas developed works as we know, but there were
still bugs. The new Articia (and Teron) is still very likely to have trouble as
more problems were detected after the Aachen Show and well after the joint work
Gerald did with for the new Articia in October and November with Mai. The April2
brings the Articia fully to the performance levels it claims to achieve. We have
purchased the remaining worldwide supply of the old Articias and will make 400 more
Pegasos main boards with the G3 CPU. Our G3 Pegasos performs better than the G4
Teron with the Articia. This will be common knowledge soon (let the others understand
this on their own our word will stand as testimony to our knowledge and skill). Once
produced, we will stop (we may license production of this version of the Pegasos to
Plexuscom or others). These machines will easily satisfy the Amiga market and give
us the machines we need to seed our developer base while Gerald and Thomas switch out
the old Articia to a much more attractive alternative (details later). This could be
ready by the summer. The RAM speed of the Pegasos will be as high as any offered in the
market and this WILL attract considerable interest. The DTV STB revenue can carry us
until this point (remember this IS a business we hope you Developers begin to remember
this!).
To repeat a few words from an earlier communication?
If our strategic vision is compelling and our execution excellent, we will increasingly
attract skilled developers. What Ralph, Frank and the core MorphOS Development Team have
accomplished to date is exceptional, but now we need to establish a professional
development and management system for MorphOS, formally retain the services of all
key MorphOS developers, and recruit new talent to the project. We have struck on the
Phoenix association to develop a vehicle to do this. All registered Phoenix members
must use a special Phoenix logon and password to have access to the reduced Pegasos
pricing that will be available through www.pegasos-usa.com.
We need to be somewhat selective in insuring that these next boards go to people that
will advance in communion with our effort and our internal developers and Phoenix members
will have priority. We will also develop the User Group program next week and a system
for handling Pegasos sales so our Distributors also benefit.
Our targeted resource/sales markets from the near to medium term are:
1. Amiga/MorphOS
2. DTV STB
3. LinuxPPC and OtherPPC
We will continue to promote to the Amiga/MorphOS market, as we have. Our underlying focus
should be: broadening and stabilizing MorphOS, attracting applications and drivers
(ports/original programs), and establishing a Pegasos toolkit. At the same time,
www.pegasos-usa.com is working
and our online sales support and information site at
www.genesi-support.com
will continue to improve. If we are lucky we will awaken and attract the slumbering
ex-Commodore consumer market, but that will take some time and we are not quite ready
for mass-market attention. The sites will be there and ready. Until we are ready with
the Pegasos II we will not promote the sites as much as we could. Plus, we will
standardize the Pegasos distribution network over the next few months taking a
semi-franchise approach. When we are ready, everything will be in place.
On the hardware side we start where we are: the Pegasos. We have discussed the
features: upgradeable, scalable, modifiable (smaller eclipsis, subsets/modular
Psylent/STB), and open, as in Open Firmware (facilitates scheme for peripheral
association/development IAW the IE1275 standard). We will develop a solid plan
and feature set for each Pegasos envisioned and the corresponding software bundles.
The management review that took place this week was very successful. We have
defined and agreed to our objectives and are now preparing a solid plan for the
future.
NOTE: for 200 Euros and trade-in ALL Pegasos I Users (includes Betatesters) WILL
be able to upgrade to the Pegasos II (just to put an end to that FUD!).
About Linux and the other targets? OS4 too -- ;-)
Linux people usually want something great for nothing, but in the PPC market if
we can get a design win over the Teron the next price point is a Mac. As more
professionals and desktop consumers switch to Linux, the future of commercial
software on Linux is very bright and so is our hardware. Functionality will
become precedent over cost in this market. We need a bootable bundled distro
and Mac-on-Linux. Linux will be a major force in the future. Today, it is still
difficult to install software, drivers, set up firewalls, etc., but because of
the generous licensing environment and the massive corporate support Linux is
gaining (IBM, HP, etc.) as well as government mandates and funding in many
countries, it is set to become the "next big thing". We need to be
part of that trend.
Any PPC OS that is reasonable to port with external resources is interesting to
us. We need a Go/NoGo decision matrix. Again, we are looking for resources and
developer talent. For example, while Linux gets the glory, BSDs are running
some of the biggest sites. We have seen the first screenshots of OpenBSD running
on the Pegasos. Further, there is an increasing amount of interesting open source
projects we could find a way to adapt to our use.
Finally, we are interested in restoring the Demo Scene to the Pegasos. The
traditional and overt message in a demo was technical skill. The visual effects
pushed the supposed limits of the platform's capability and graphics were
skillfully executed. Good demos are the marriage of advanced technical, creative
and artistic abilities. For the future, we need a new generation of Sceners to be
pulling the most from the platform and the OS. This can generate plenty of
positive attention. Besides the nVidia butterfly lady has the wrong color wings!
This is why we decided to sponsor Equinoxe.
All these other things all ultimately bring us back to our key advantage: a
completely integrated solution, including hardware, operating system, and
applications. Management is working hard to turn this vision into a reality.
While the sale of the Pegasos and MorphOS alone could never sustain the Company
we are building, it may one day in the future. We use the Pegasos today to
begin our move to the future, while insuring the development and growth of the
MorphOS. Things could get pretty exciting if we can get that far. Let us not
forget that 30 million STBs sold last year and they were called video game
consoles.
Please feel free to provide any feedback to us.
Sincerely,
Raquel and Bill

AmiStart Start Menu: Is There Still Interest in Further Development?
Darius Brewka released version 0.63 of AmiStart in September 2002, as we (reported).
AmiStart is a start menu similar to that found in Microsoft Windows, with a quick launchbar, drag&drop support and a reconfigurable
graphic overlay which allows transparency, rounded corners, background textures, a shape layer (with reconfigurable and programmable
skins controllable by external applications via ARexx). One example is the shape layer of Songplayer.
Because the author has some time, he is interested in knowing if there is interest in further development of AmiStart and, if so, how strong
this interest is. Would anyone like to make some suggestions or report some bugs? Give Darius some feedback, write him to say what could
be improved.

Path Amiga is the attempt of Alexander Weber to write an Internet

the browser begins to take concrete shape. Version 1.0 supports HTML, that is also the reason for the version jump. The support is still
rudimentarily, so that a reasonable browsing is still
hardly possible. This situation will improve with each following
version.

As most know, because we heard nothing from the katodev team for a
very, very long time and having made many, many attempts to get a
reply, we were forced to face the fact that, even with all their
failed deadlines and promises, they have let us, and you, down badly.

Eyetech: Status Update Concerning AmigaOne-XE
Alan Redhouse (Eyetech Group Ltd.) talked about the status of the AmigaOne-XE
on the AmigaOne mailing list (see title link). Here's a summary of the most important information related to that, from
Christoph Gutjahr.
More AmigaOne-XE computers and G4 modules have been produced than the number of preorders. The motherboards are currently
in Taiwan. When they get the okay from the testers these boards will be equipped with AmigaOne-ROMs and sent to Europe. Redhouse
goes on to say that these boards will leave the factory in the direction of Europe on the 24th of this month.
It takes about 4 days for the computers to reach Eyetech from Taiwan.
Eyetech themselves can then test about 40 to 50 boards daily, assign a serial number, and "put them in the mail."
The G4 modules for the AmigaOne-XE machines include a PPC processor of type 7451 (G4) at 800 MHz, 32 KB +32 KB L1
Cache, 256 KB L2 Cache and 2 MB 64/72 Bit L3 Cache.
Update: (26.07.2014, cg)
A complete copy of Alan Redhouse's mail (added since the Original has been moved elsewhere by Yahoogroups apparently):

Betreff: Re: [amigaone] Re: Situation of XE boards? - a couple more answers
In the final pre-launch stages of a project like this there is an awful lot
of work to be done, and that means that none of us here can spend as much
time as we would like reading and commenting on mailing lists and making
website updates. And a lot of the time we have allocated for that
unfortunately has to be spent defusing unfounded false allegations of one
sort or another. Speaking of websites some of the developers have put up a
new A1-linux site at sourceforge which is well worth a checkout at
http://amigaone-linux.sourceforge.net
Status update (Get the fire extinguishers ready!)
Enough A1-XE's and G4 modules (800MHz 7451 with 32+32k L1; 256 L2 & 2M
64/72bit L3) to more than satisfy all earlybird orders have already been
built and are currently in Tiawan waiting to ship. All these boards are
fitted with the new Articia chipset (date code 0103).
We received a number (more than several, less than lots) of these boards
three weeks ago, but only received the cpu modules early last week, and the
modified UBoot code (to initialise the 7451) last Thursday. After going
through our own tests all these initial boards/cpu's have now been shipped
by us to those volunteer developers (and Hyperion) who have existing
experience of running the A1-SE under linux. This is so that they can spend
a week or so making sure that the various PPC Linux distributions run well
on with the G4 cpu and that no further modifications to the initialisation
code in UBoot are required.
I am visiting the manufacturers in Tiawan next week (2 days travel/recovery
each way) so don't expect much more from me until the week after. We should
have had the green light from the A1-XE/g4 board users by then which in turn
means that we can give the green light to the factory to blow the final
ROM's and ship the boards by 24th. Shipment to us will take around 4 working
days, and we should be able to test, serial number, order process and
despatch around 40-50 boards/day.
First boards will go to the original - March last year :-( - developers who
have opted to wait for the A1-XE/G4, then to dealers and customers in
chronological order.
These are of course target dates, and cannot possibly be taken as a promise
or guarantee. All I can say is that we are as keen to have your money as you
are to spend it, and do not, and never have had any intention of
deliberately holding back shipments just to be awkward (as some people seem
to think). However we will not as of policy ship any product before we are
satisfied that it is fully functional - including an installable and
working operating system - other than to developers for testing purposes.
The AmigaOne and Teron series of motherboards are new technology in the
'unbundled' - ie non-mac/non-RS6000 - marketplace. That is why it has taken
some time - and a lot longer than any of the parties involved anticipated -
to get the A1 into your hands in a usable condition - albeit with Linux at
this stage.
I am sufficiently confident that the developers will be very impressed by
the new A1-XE/G4 that I'm sure that they will want to start posting their
findings here from early next week.
BTW I'm sure that many of you will have seen H-J Frieden's posting on
running SIN on a Duron 1200MHz vs an A1XE/G4@800MHz(no L3 cache), both under
Linux, both with software rendering. He got 2x the frame rate from the A1
than from the Duron, and that was without any use of the Altivec processor
in the A1. Imagine what it will be like with OS4.
Hope this helps

WWW-Browser: Path Version 1.0
Path-Amiga is an attempt to build a new Internet browser from the ground up. The project began in the second half of the
year 2001 (as amiga-news.de reported) and slowly it began to take
concrete form. With this version HTML support has been started, which accounts for the version leap to 1.0. The support is
still very primitive, so a reasonable websurfing experience is hardly possible. This situation will improve with each successive
release.
- Requirements:
Hardware:
An Amiga with a 68k processor or a computer which can emulate such.
Software:
Amiga OS 3.5 or higher
- Features:
- ReAction GUI
- Minimal HTML support
- Clipboard support
- Supports DOS data
- Supports HTTP 1.1
- Graphic buttons
- Selection windows for the changing of symbol text, colors, GUI.
- Graphic printing functions
- German and English localizations
- Protection against pipe security holes
- Known deficiencies:
- The HTML display still has some problems. Please be patient, it's the author's first try...
- When the author tested an earlier version of Path under Amithlon, it bogged down occasionally. But one Amithlon user
has reported that Path works correctly for him.
- When printing, instead of a background a very light gray tone appears. The author has no clue what is causing that.

The website Amiga Speed stays busy with speed comparisons. You experience how quickly current Amiga
games run on different Amigas. Through this you'll discover what software and hardware you need to play the
games at their optimal speeds. But you can also merely keep informed about the speed of currently available Amiga
games, processors, and graphic cards.

Mai Logic Inc. earns "Ready for IBM Technology" Validation
FREMONT, CA. February 10, 2003. Mai Logic Incorporated, a
technology design house of integrated circuits/systems,
announced today that it has achieved "Ready For IBM Technology"
validation for its Articia S system controller and Teron CX
and Teron PX evaluation system boards for IBM's 750CXe and
750FX PowerPCTM processors based applications.
"MAI Logic has successfully developed optimized supporting
devices and reference designs for PowerPCTM microprocessor
application platforms which have passed a rigorous PowerPCTM compatibility validation testing process by IBM Microelectronics
labs," said Lisa Su, Director of PowerPCTM and emerging products,
IBM Microelectronics. "Solutions like MAI's 'Ready for IBM
Technology' chipset and evaluation systems give developers more
ways to enhance their applications, resulting in improved time
to market, more cost effective designs, and improved performance
products by our OEM customers."
"We at MAI are very excited about this latest achievement," said
Jason Hou, CEO of Mai Logic, Inc. "We will continue working
closely with IBM to better our product designs and development
following IBM's PowerPCTM processor roadmap. By leveraging the
strong ties we have with our manufacturing partners in Taiwan
and the close relationship with the leading developers worldwide,
MAI intends to deliver the most cost-effective, highest-quality
PowerPCTM offerings to the traditional PowerPCTM market place
and expanding it into new applications presently not in the
PowerPCTM application domain. This validation will further enable
IBM's and MAI's customers to accelerated time to market coupled
with significantly reduced resource deployment and management
costs."
Articia S
Articia S is the first in the Articia family of chipsets
designed with the revolutionary "Bus-Centric" methodology
to achieve a more balanced and efficient architecture serving
both CPU and peripheral bus requirements. Articia S can
support single- or dual-processors at 133MHz CPU bus speed.
It is also the first commercialized system controller to
provide AGP support for RISC processor based systems.
Next-generation Articia Sa and Articia P will soon be
available. For product details, please visit: http://www.mai.com.
Teron
Teron CX and Teron PX evaluation systems are generic ATX
motherboards built with PowerPCTM processors. The former is
the first PowerPCTM processor based board with enhanced AGP
option and the latter equipped with a 300-pin MegArray
connector, provides easy configuration to a range of
development platforms driven by single-processor and
dual-processor CPU module cards (including the latest
PowerPCTM 750FX processor).
The "Ready for IBM Technology" program is developed to help
OEMs identify hardware or software of IBM Business Partners
that have received validation with IBM's products. Eligible
participants must complete the validation process to obtain
the approval and use of the "Ready for IBM Technology emblem
as well as to further distinguish their product listings in
the IBM Global Solutions Directory. For more information,
please go to: http://www-3.ibm.com/chips/products/wired/alliances/rfit.html.
Mai Logic Incorporated, A Technology Power House
With 52 invention patents granted, 100 more pending in the
fields of IC design, security, and system engineering, Mai
Logic proves itself again and again to be a technology power
house. Mai Logic's innovations in chipset solutions include:

AmiChess: New version with increased playing strength
Under the title link there is a new version of AmiChess which has been
recompiled with StormC 4. Apart from some minor bug fixes, the WarpOS
version in particular has benefitted from the recompilation.
Calculation speed of the WOS version could nearly be doubled! Thus AmiChess
with the GNUChess engine is a match for "Crafty" (see Aminet), the chess
engine with currently the highest plaing strength!
I wish all chess friends a good time with the new version!

Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3
Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3.
IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS.
(Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as
running AmigaOS 4.0).
This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with
"MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2".
Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.
There is no warranty. Use at your own risk.
