Descent 2 Port for Amiga
Some time ago I've started a Descent 2 port for the Amiga (WarpUP and 68k version). Unfortunately I'm not able to finish this port due to lack of time, cause among other things I'm working on commercial games for the Amiga :-). (And these are yet more important than porting an old game). An interested programmer who would like to finish this port may contact me at any time and receive the current source code. more ...

CGX News
This site is a must if you would like to be informed about news all around graphics boards.
  • There is a small poll at the time being about which graphics boards Mediator should support.
  • Steffen Haeuser is cited from a news group posting: "Due to missing documentations there will not be any 3D hardware driver or Voodoo5."
  • Elbox renewed the driver archive with MediatorUP 1.6, cause there was a mistake in the old one.

Heise: Forbidden to Despair ;-)
»Who wants to vent one's displeasure by the emoticon :-( risks a draconian punishment. Wrongdoers have to write a thousand times: ":-( is a registered trademark of Despair, Inc.". Albeit the punishment claimed already indicates the satiric character of this action – reality beggars all presiflage. The Despair company really has booked the trademark ":-(" – in dependence on the smiley ":-)" pronounced as frowny – at the US patent office in 1998. And the office in point of fact granted this application in May 2000.«

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:

 Over on Amiga.org, there's a lot of talk the last day or two about a
new "Coldfire" processor model from Motorola. Pegged at 100% 68060
compatible and running at 300Mhz, it's generating a lot of excitement
from Classic Amiga users. As nearly as we can tell, this isn't all
that new news, seeming to go back originally to an article that
appeared in "EE Times" on October 17 last.
 Whatever the case, does it really matter? We don't think so. The
future of the Amiga is the new DE. The old 68K market is almost dead.
All you need do is look at "Amiga Update". We've cut back to monthly,
and the issues are smaller, because there just isn't much Amiga news
any longer (we could run more articles by reporting on announced plans
to develop software, or alpha releases, but we prefer to wait until
there's a reasonably finished product). Until the DE is really
established and growing, that's the way it will be.
 Even if there's somebody left to make boards for the new chip, all it
will run is the older software. It might be handy for compatibility as
an add-on board for new DE based machines, but we really doubt that's
going to happen.
 Now, if there'd been a fast, truly compatible Coldfire chip a couple
of years ago ...

 Other Amigans are justifiably concerned about the persistent rumors
of money problems at Amiga Inc. We've been concerned as well. However,
we're not ready to panic and write them off. The collapse of the .com
investment market has made coming up with cash difficult for all
startups. But, as MooBunny reported recently after talking with Bill
McEwen, Amiga claims it's not failing to meet obligations and has
products ready to go, unlike the .coms which died. That may make all
the difference in the world, as long as Amiga can promote them and
sell some. The fact that they apparently can't afford to attend key
trade shows is quite worrisome, but doesn't necessarily signal the end
of the world. As we've said often, time will tell.

 Meanwhile, there is still news in the Amiga community, as you can see
below. It's mostly positive news, and we hope you enjoy it.

E-mail to the E-ditor:

26 Dec 2000

 If possible, in a future newsletter, I'd like to see any info that
might be available concerning someo of the great Amiga software
products which seem to have dropped off the "Radar" during the last
few years.

 Products such as the SuperBase database (Still the best database I've
ever used), Final Writer from Softwood (Again, the Best word processor
I've ever used), etc.

 Are these products going to be part of the New Amiga? What happened
to them?

 For instance, I read a report somewhere that the person who owned
SuperBAse had died and that his widow now owns the rights, but is Not
in a position, either financially or professionally, to do anything
with those rights. True? False? Is there a "White Knight" software
firm which could bring the product back??

Thanks for a great newsletter.

Jerry
~~~~~~
Jerry,
 We'd love to run such information, and will if we get any stories or
press releases that cover these products. SuperBase - most recently
SBase 4 Pro or Personal - is still the database manager I use when I
want to get real work done. At last year's Amiga show in St. Louis, it
was possible to pick up an update disk from the current owner of the
software rights. Since then, I've not heard a word.

 CS&E Media is a not for profit division of Crystal Software and
Electronics Ltd, set up to provide a street publication for Oxford and
raise money for the homeless and underprivileged. With the lack of
advertising opportunities in the Amiga market, and our decision to
leave games publishing on this format, we are also pleased to be
supporting the Amiga and its companies with the first mass market
English language publication since Amiga Format. As fans of the format
we are offering our time for free and also hope to raise some money
for charity at the same time.
 Currently European Amiga companies are starved of professional
advertising opportunities. Not only can we offer the highest quality
(as you can see from the attached previews), but also the best value
due to offering free distribution, using an international printer, and
of course being a not for profit organisation.
 Amiga Survivor offers a captive audience of buyers, not browsers,
with English language copies being distributed for free across Europe
to customers who spend money either on the coverdisk or with one of
our distributors. Our distributors include Eyetech and Power who take
6,000 alone, but distribution is spread across Europe via the likes of
GTI and Amiga Future also. There are over 30 user groups and smaller
companies who are also distributors.
 A coverdisk at 3.99 a month will see the likes of Max Rally, Cosmo's
Fun Class, Quake and Capital Punishment.
 You can order a subscription directly from CS&E at
http://www.pc-software.com/store.html . We are currently operating a
special offer whereby you can claim a free trial by credit card over
the Internet or for 1 pound by cheque. Go to
http://www.pc-software.com/store.html and enter your details as usual
on the secure server, but you will not be billed and one issue will be
sent out with a note asking for your decision. This store is specially
set up not to charge the card, but of course regular subscriptions
will shortly be available at http://www.amigasurvivor.com .
 Contact csande@csande.com if you have any questions or want to
provide your details by e-mail.
 Due to the ever growing circulation figures, which now includes wide
arrangements in Germany in particular, we will be putting the
advertising rates up from Issue 10. These only reflect the costs of
printing all the new issues. Special offers still apply if you book
from Issue 9 which is coming out next week. You can find the old
advertising rates which still apply for a few days at
http://www.amigasurvivor.com . Look out for a website update very
shortly.
 Due to the high entry costs to the market, Crystal Software and
Electronics has made a strategic retreat from retail publishing and is
now looking to work with more established publishers in this field, at
least for the time being. Development is coming along well with many
developers benefiting from our input into adding 'marketability' to
their creativity, and securing successful distribution deals.
 Work is continuing on the http://www.pc-software.com website where we
will offer flexible pricing models such as pay-per-play and
rent-to-own on all titles. Several rent-to-own games and the
pc-software.com website will be included with each retail product.

 {One of the few real complaints about Amiga OS 3.9 is the failure of
the very popular program ToolsDaemon to work with it. ToolsDaemon is
among the best of the third party utilities available to add items to
the Workbench's pulldown menus. This freeware utility fixes the
problem and is simple to install. We've used it here and wouldn't be
without it. You can find it on Aminet. Brad}

Short:    V1.0, WB 3.9 ToolsDaemon prefs converter
Author:   johnallan@forceofnature.f9.co.uk (John Nelson)
Uploader: johnallan@forceofnature.f9.co.uk (John Nelson)
Version:  1.0
Type:     util/wb
Requires: OS3.9 (V45+), ToolsPrefs (From ToolsDaemon)

OVERVIEW

 Converts ToolsDaemon prefs file into an Arexx script to add the
 menus to os3.9 in a system legal way.

 As a new legal version of a ToolsDaemon-type util (with pretty
 prefs:)) is being worked on I don`t think this collection of scripts
 will be developed much b4 they are replaced by an all in one
 solution.

FEATURES

  · Uses the nice simple ToolsPrefs
  · Multiple selected files (including 'leftout' files)
  · Multiple commands
  · Hotkeys (set in ToolsPrefs... so it must have a menu item)

CHANGES

 v1.0 - 11 January 2001
        First public release
 v0.4 - Last tested beta, this and the ones b4 are documented in the
        guide

 Elbox Computer has released today a new version (1.2) of
MediatorNET.device for Mediator PCI for PCI Ethernet network cards.

 The new version of the driver enables simultaneous using of several
PCI Ethernet cards in Amiga fitted with the Mediator PCI busboard.

 Support of New Style Device (NSD) has been added and operation
procedures have been optimised in order to reach the maximum transfer
performance.

 MediatorNET.device is a Sana-2 standard driver. This driver is
compatible with all the Amiga TCP/IP software packages which can
access a Sana-2 driver (e.g. Miami, MiamiDx, Genesis and AmiTCP).

 PCI Ethernet network cards installed in Mediator PCI are the fastest
and the most cost-effective network cards for Amiga computers at the
moment.

 Elbox Computer is offering PCI Ethernet cards with the following
parameters:

 * RTL8029AS PCI local bus 32-bit single-chip Ethernet controller

 * 16K byte SRAM built in

 * Compliance with PCI V2.1

 * Compliance with Ethernet II and IEEE802.3 10Base5, 10Base2, 10BaseT

 * Support for the Full-Duplex function to double channel bandwidth
(20Mbps)

 * Support for Flow Control (802.3x) to improve network performance in
the full-duplex mode

 * Built-in data prefetch function to improve performance

 * Built-in 10BaseT transceiver

 * Auto-detect capability between the integrated 10BaseT transceiver
and AUI

 * BNC and RJ-45 wiring connectors

 * One LED on bracket providing LINK indicators

Suggested street price for PCI Ethernet card: EUR 25.00

Why do you need a network card in Amiga?

 The ethernet card enables connecting Amiga with other computers.

 With such a connection you may have access to the Internet with a
modem (regular modem, ISDN, SDI or commuted access) installed in
another computer.

 With the SAMBA package (www.amigasamba.org), you may use resources
(files, printers, etc.) of computers working under Windows 9x, Windows
NT, DOS, OS/2 or UNIX connected in one network.

 When you install 2 network cards in your computer and use support for
multiple interfaces available in the MiamiDx package
(www.nordicglobal.com), you may use a PPP dial-up line and an Ethernet
network connection at the same time; also, you may exchange data
between different networks. MiamiDx is also offering the opportunity
of protection networks by way of a built-in firewall.

20 January, 2001

 PureBasic is a new "high level" programming language based on
established BASIC rules. It is compatible with any other BASIC
compiler, whether its for the Amiga or PC format. Learning PureBasic
is very easy! PureBasic has been created for beginner and expert
alike. Compilation time is really fast. We have put a lot of effort
into its realization to produce a fast, reliable and system friendly
language.

 The syntax is easy and the possibilities are huge with the "advanced"
functions that have been added to this language like pointers,
structures, procedures, dynamically linked lists and much more. For
the experienced coder there are no problems gaining access to any of
the legal OS structures or API objects.

 PureBasic is a portable programming langage which currently work on
AmigaOS (680x0 and PowerPC) and Windows computer systems. This means
than a same code can be compiled natively for the both OS and use the
full power of each. There is no bottlenecks like a virtual machine or
a code translator, the generated code is an producing an optimized
executable. The external libraries are fully written in hand optimized
assembler, which produce very fast commands often much faster than
C/C++ equivalent.

 The main features of PureBasic:

 - Built-in arrays, dynamically linked lists, complex structures,
 pointers and variable definitions

 - Supported types: Byte (8 bits), Word (16 bits), Long (32 bits),
 Float (32 bits) and also user defined (structures)

 - Built-in string types (characters)

 - Constants, binary and hexadecimal numbers supported

 - Expression reducer by grouping constants and numeric numbers
 together

 - Standard arithmetic support in respect of sign priority and
 parenthesis: +, -, /, *, and, or, lsl, asl, lsr, asr

 - Very fast compilation

 - Procedure support for structured programming with local and global
 variables

 - All Standard BASIC keywords: If-Else-EndIf, Repeat-Until, etc

 - External library support to manipulate objects like BMP pictures,
 windows, gadgets, DirectX, etc

 - External libraries are fully written in hand optimized assembler
 for maximum speed and compactness

 - The Win32 and AmigaOS API are fully supported as if they were BASIC
 keywords

 - Assembler Inline

 - Precompiled structures with constants files for extra fast
 compilation

 - Configurable CLI compiler

 - System friendly, easy to install and to use

For 2.00:

  About the compiler:
    * Completely rewritten !
    * Now, it's 4 to 7 times faster to compile
    * Faster procedure handling
    * Multi-dimensionned arrays are now supported
    * Residents are now saved/loaded in one file
    * PowerPC code have been removed (nobody want it ?)
    * Some bugs have been fixed
    * The switch MC68020 have been added to the command line

  About the PureLibraries:
    * Rewritten the Sprite library (50% faster) and added several
      commands: SaveSprites(), LoadSprites(), RemoveCookie(),
      FlushSprite(), SpriteHandle(), CopySprite(), GrabSprite()
    * Added 'DisableDebugger' and 'EnableDebugger' to disable the
      debugger for some part within a program.
    * Added the debugger support for Sprite, Joypad, Chunky and
      Sound libraries.
    * Added the following commands: Processor(), MMU(), FPU(),
      RectsHit(), Hex(), Bin().
    * Fixed some commands: ListIndex(), FontID(), DrawingFont()

  About the editor:
    * Added a keyboard shortcut to close the error window.

  Misc (Full version only):
    * SpriteGrabber (Allows to get sprites from a picture)
    * OpenPureBasic (C/C++ -> PureBasic convertor)

New version of sKulpt released

 sKulpt is the successor of legendary 3D software "Sculpt Animate
3D/4D" by Eric Graham and Byte By Byte. The raytracing program used to
have many fans for years, because it was easy to use, good value for
money and efficiency. In amateur and professional circles many
pictures have been created with this software. The successor sKulpt
wird will be completely develloped by CdBSSoftware, and already
supports PPC boards and Warp3D.

At the moment, sKulpt is a project in development, yet supporting :

 o RTG support (any screen compatible with Warp3D drivers)

 o 060 and PPC versions (both compiled with StormC v3, waiting for
StormC v4 w/GCC to have a good optimization). PPC version requiring
WarpOS.

 o use of 3D hardware (works well with both CyberVision 64/3D and
 B|CVisionPPC)

 o use of textures (any image file format supported by your installed
 Datatypes).

 Around 60 percent of its features are implemented and available.
 You can find more interesting details on the CdBSSoftware hompage.

Requirements

To run sKulpt, you need :

 o An Amiga (2000, 1200, 3000, 4000) with either a CyberVision 64/3D
or a BlizzardVision PPC or a CyberVision PPC (the only Amiga graphics
boards providing hardware 3D acceleration at the moment, respectively
with the S3 Virge and the 3Dlabs Permedia2 chips), running at least
OS3.0,

 o A minimum of 8 megs of free memory

 o Warp3D v3 installed and properly working with the provided test
samples (WarpTest and Engine), either the 68K or the PPC version.

 o A shell window to launch sKulpt, in which you will have set the
stack to around 120 Kbyte ("stack 120000") before launching sKulpt. It
will look in the "gfx" and "textures" subdirectories for files (gfx
sub directory contents should not be modified otherwise sKulpt may not
work).

{The following item was found on the Czech Amiga News site. Brad}

 Colin Wenzel: "I am just dropping a note around the net to let
everyone know that my 'Service Manager' program has now been released
as Freeware. It's a small business (appliance repair orientated style)
control program that I run my business & about 12 others around here
on... I have been keeping it under wrapps since I wrote it but I have
decided to release it (classic version) to the Amiga community in
anticipation of the new DE.

 So if you're interested, you may download the install archive from
this URL: http://www.hotkey.net.au/~colstv/csm_dload/. There is also a

 Dolgesheim, den 28.8.2000. Last Sunday, in the sub-division of the
company HAAGE&PARTNER Computer GmbH in Dolgesheim, the new StormC
developers package was presented for the first time in a select
circle. During the yearly summer festival, a lot was discussed about
the past and the future. Among the many guests were employees of the
company Hyperion (Heretic II, ...) and ESCENA (PowerPC-Boards), who
showed enthusiasm after the presentation


 The most important feature of the new developers system is the step
forwards towards the new AmigaOS. At the moment everything still runs
on the Classic Amiga, and that is how it will be presented, but
everything was developed anew with easy portability in mind.

 A big step towards more up-to-date system has been made through the
decision to support the GNU-Compiler in a modified version. The
current Storm-Compiler is not less professional, but not easy to port
to other systems. The new StormGCC is very compatible to the StormC
compiler, supports known preprocessor symbols (for instance __FUNC__),
writes in 68K as well as in PPC the Amiga Hunk-Format in object files
and creates the same debug file format as StormC. The PowerPC version
of StormGCC supports the PowerOpen/WarpOS conventions.

 In the new StormC the network capabilities are of very high
importance. StormC now can be used by a programming team working on
one project, without problems. An important utility in this respect is
CVS Concurrent Versions System. With the aid of CVS multiple
developers can work on one project or source code at the same time,
and link their changes in a controlled fashion. StormC shows in the
project version number and status of the files, and color marks files
that might give problems.

 The network capabilities are rounded off by the now distributed Make.
In a network, multiple computers can be used simultaneously to compile
a project. StormC finds free computers automatically, and moves
compiling jobs to those. A Make Logfile keeps track of various
compiler commands, error messages, and allows for an exact error
diagnosis in complex projects.

 Further novelties can be found in the project management and the
editor. With the aid of the global search the entire project or all
projects, including hierarchical projects can be searched with full
text search including AmigaDOS patterns. It is possible, by double
clicking the search result, to go directly to the relevant position in
the source code.

 The user can now create his own sections, and decide what kind of
files should be put there, and how they should be edited, shown or
compiled. Sections can be sorted alphabetically and colored in
different colors A helpmeet gives extensive Online Help to StormC,
GCC, AmigaOS Includes and Autodocs. A bubble-help provides basic help
when required.

 The new editor now also colorizes CVS-conflicts, installer- and
AmigaGuide-commands according to new dictionaries. When typing the
name of known system functions, the appropriate prototype is shown,
which makes further input of parameters for these functions much
easier. The double-click on a file path (for instance in an include
command) loads the file in a new . Furthermore the keyboard layout is
freely configurable.

 A new addition is a program for documentation. With StormDOC one
creates ToDo-lists, bug reports, and program documentation. It keeps
track of all actions of the user, knows the various destination groups
and circumstances of the list, who can all also be configured as
search criteria.

 The new debugger cooperates on 68K- and PPC WarpOS programs with the
StormCompiler and StormGCC. The debugging is now no longer limited to
one program - Tasks and Shared Libraries can now also be edited step
by step. When Enforcer-hits occur, the debugger immediately shows the
position of the source of evil in the source code.

 All in all, StormC 4 is fully revamped and greatly enhanced tool,
that will once again speed up software-development on the Amiga, and
will create it more professionally.

The news of version 4 in an overview

     Network capabilities / shared Make
     modified GCC Compiler for 68k and PPC
     CVS Concurrent Versions System
     enhanced Editor (Shows Prototypes of Functions)
     StormDOC to manage ToDo-lists, bug reports and so on.
     enhanced debugger (for GCC also)
     debugging of Tasks and Shared Libraries
     global full text search
     comprehensive Online-Help

Opinions

 Steffen Häuser of Hyperion, responsible for the conversion of Sxx for
the Amiga, said about the new compiler: "The combination of the gcc
code generator with StormC's advantages of the debugger, the
comfortable IDE, the MixedBinaries and the possibility to create
Shared Libraries in an easy way looks like a very nice compiler
system.

 The distributed-make facility to reduce compilation time and the
integration of CVS into the IDE are very welcome. We are looking
forward to employing the new StormC in future projects. Adaptions of a
first project from gcc to the new StormC worked flawlessly. Support
for Elate VP Code in a future version will also be very interesting to
us."

Availability

 The price of StormC 4 is 498,- DM. Customers of older versions of
StormC can get an update for the price of only 198,- DM. The first
presentation was at WOA 2000 in December last year. StormC 4 is
available right away.

 mFTP-II is a File Transfer Protocol client that allows the
transferring of files from one computer to another. Some sites may be
restricted, requiring the use of an assigned user name and password,
while most sites (such as business and corporations) allow anonymous
FTP, in which you will usually give your email address as the
password.

 mFTP-II also allows you to upload files to any remote computer. This
is an ideal way to maintain your web page, uploading files and pages.
You can even open two FTP connections and then transfer files between
those sites!

 Please remember, mFTP-II is shareware. If you use it, please register
the software and help support Amiga software development.

Requirements

   o Workbench 2.x
   o MUI 3.x
   o TCP/IP compatible stack

New Version (V.44.50 beta 7) of the HSMathLibs
Again there is a new version of the HSMathLibs for MC68040 and MC68060 for registered users. Many bugs were fixed and some smaller optimisations were done. The most significant enhancements in this version for sure are full compatibility with OS3.9 and support of (hopefully) all special cases of the math-libraries.

Fire & Ice - Now Legal and Free at AMI Sector One
AMI Sector One has the following interesting news:
First of all the company 'Jester Interactive' which owns the copyrights of many older Amiga games, has granted us permission to post many of the games from the cult company 'Graftgold' for free download on our site: The first free game that is available is 'Fire & Ice' which should ring a bell to every Amiga-Fan.

Furthermore more commercial games and PD classics like 'Magic Forest 2', 'Seek & Destroy', 'Mayhem', and many more have been made available. The first version of the new 'Amiga Applications Compendium' has been put online. This allows the user to search for more than 300 Amiga applications, companies and developers.

Nostalgic disk magazines and cheat disks put a nice finish to this year's first update.

AAA Award Canceled For The Time Being
Since 1997 the AAA Awards were given to people out of the Amiga area, among other things for their hard- and software products. Among the award winners have been Holger Kruse, Dave Haynie, Marcel Beck, Kermit Woodall, Stefan Burstroem and SoftLogik. Now the awarding of this price will be canceled for the time being. The reasons for this are too little manpower and too low support. In the future the award may be granted again. This depends among other things on the community and Amiga. Everybody who wants to comment on this may write to f98-msa@f.kth.se. more ...

AmigaOS 3.9 Wallpapers (Background Images)
Hello Amigans, as there's the huge amount of 4 new background images on the AmigaOS 3.9 CD since AmigaOS3.5 I have decided to do some myself. The first archive is already available on Aminet under pix/back/os39wallp.lha (1024x800 24Bit). A 800x600 version was just transferred onto Aminet. The 800x600 version is named OS39w800.lha Both archives are freeware and I allow Haage&Partner to use these.

Corinna Cohn. Interviewed Bill McEwen
Corinna Cohn. called up Bill McEwen, to clear up some rumors as much as possible. McEwen answered her some questions. Here a summary of what Bill McEwen answered:
  • AmigaOS 3.9 has upgraded Internet functionality that was missing from 3.5, and it has multimedia players. Otherwise, most of the functionality is similar to 3.5. Users will have to evaluate the features of 3.9 for themselves to see if there's any value added.
  • The last months were tight for Amiga Inc. from a financial point of view. They are looking for more investors. McEwen named several sources, among them a tier one company that would be interested in investing.
  • Bill McEwen is sure to have a product that hopefully impresses investors more than some of the ephemeral properties that other startups failed to sell.
  • Money is low. Will Amiga Inc. become insolvent? McEwen replied to this question that this is not true.
  • Amiga Inc. will only exhibit at Amiga trade shows. Products will be made available through vendors.
  • Bill McEwen named some manufacturers of set-top boxes which should be available soon. He is excited about other products appearing, especially something that should please Amiga users.
  • He reiterated that they (this being vendors using Amiga technology) had some products ready to debut and that we should stick around to see them.
Corinna Cohn. analyzes Bill McEwens statements as follows:
"Amiga does not have a product that I as an Amiga user would necessarily want, but that I as a computer geek might dig. We Amiga users are a technological launching platform for a new, possibly cool technology, and Amiga wants us to continue to pay attention to them until its ready. This explains 3.5 and 3.9, and it explains the early appearance of the developers kit. Amiga is going to continue to blow us kisses until they have something to impress us with or until they run out of money." more ...
