Martin Tauchmann (E-Mail)


Programming: Crossgcc/AmigaOS-68k for Linux/x86 V2.95.3-3 (update)
Martin Tauchmann released version 2.95.3-3 of gcc for AmigaOS/68k as a cross compiler for Linux/x86 on Aminet.

This cross compiler allows to compile Amiga programs - ANSI-C and C++ - for 68k Amigas under Linux/x86. AmigaOS includes are required additionally, which are to find on the Deverloper-CD, Geek Gadgets CD Vol. 2 or FrozenFishCD, for example.

This compiler was compiled with the mpentiumpro option and requires a 686 compatible CPU.

Download: crossgcc_linux.tgz (5,3M), Readme

Update 22. August 2001:
Since there where no version of the above mentioned Crossgcc containing the '-fbaserel'- and '-fbaserel32' bugs on Aminet the following sentence was deleted from this message: 'This version fixes the '-fbaserel' and '-fbaserel32' problems.'. (sd) (Translation: mj)

AmigaDE: Benchmark - DECbench
Patrick Roberts released version 1.0rc1 of the 'DECbench' benchmarks for the AmigaDE SDK v1.1.

'DECbench' is an extendable benchmark test written in C. This test suits for the AmigaDE system, but was developed with regard to the PDA games section. This benchmark tests resolution and preciseness of timers as well as memory stats, zlib decompressing and miscellaneous AVE functions.

AmigaDE: 3D-Demo - kellerballs
Fank Pagels and Timm S. Müller released the metaballs 3D routine 'kellerballs' for the AmigaDE SDK on 15. August 2001. This routine uses the marching cube algorithm.

The source code is not optimized and not good enough to be a release. It presumeably will be part of one of the upcoming TEKlib releases of Example-Suite.

AmigaDE: Game - Etch-a-Sketch Clone
Nicolas Mendoza released version 1.0 of the Etch-a-Sketch clone 'etch' (game) for the AmigaDE SDK on 14. August 2001.

He wrote this little game to learn how to program the AmigaDE - it is about his first C program.

Ronald Hof's GM was very helpful to him, which simplifies game programming.

The 'etch' source code can be used for free.

Scalos (ANF)


Workbench: Scalos Beta V40.10
Beta version 40.10 of the alternative Workbench 'Scalos' was released. This release in particular fixes several bugs.

Changes since prior version:
  • Repaired bug in updateicon which sometimes caused icons to appear in incorrect windows
  • Duplicating/cloning items now pops up the file copying progress window
  • Dragging multiple icons now shows one or two text lines under pointer telling how many files and drawers are being dragged
  • Fixed severe bug in wbl.c: WBNode's were allocated with AllocVecPooled() and freed with FreeVec()
  • Added a varargs version of SCA_ScreenTitleMsg()
  • Added flag to switch between Flag: old dragging (all icons visible) and new "icon stack"
  • Added new SCA_ScalosControl() tags SCALOSCTRLA_GetOldDragIconMode and SCALOSCTRLA_SetOldDragIconMode
  • IconWinCheckUpdate() now correctly updates INF_DefaultIcon flag and INF_SupportsLeaveOut attribute
  • Missed a CurrentDir() when renaming objects, leading to a directory lock getting never UnLock()ed
  • When D&D copying or moving icons, "Replace All" and "Abort" now should work correctly Message strings "xxx already exists" are now different when moving and copying objects
  • When moving icons inside window and new position overlaps other icon, the moved icons now jump back to their original positions
Bugs can be reported using the bug report site.

Matt Parsons (AROS-User-ML)


AROS: IBM-PC/native on one single floppy disc
Matt Parsons released a new native version of AROS for IBM-PC compatibles, which can be installed to one single floppy disc for direct booting.

This version contains a working format command and allows to install AROS to a harddisk or partition. With the boot disk this harddisk installation can be used.

The graphical output still is very simple, so don't expect AROS to benefit from the speed of your board, at this time.

The readme included to the archive describes how to create a boot disk under Windows 95+ or Linux.

AROS is an open source project to implement a portable version of AmigaOS v3.1.

Event: Amiga user groups on the Australian COMDEX
'The joint Australian Amiga User Groups' have cooperate to present the Amiga on their own booth on the ITExpo/COMDEX, which will take place from 05. to 07. September 2001 in Melbourne, Australia.

The user groups ADUG, MAUG, AUG, ESEUG are expected to attend the show. They will exhibit the AmigaSDK, Amithlon (Amiga emulator), PPC equipped Amigas with Mediator boards, and A4000's cases.

With luck and if Bill McEwen (Amiga Inc.) will have enough time, he maybe will fly to Australia to attend the show.

This show will be a combination of ITExpo and COMDEX. Additionally the NetWorld+Interop will take place a the same location. More than 30,000 visitors are expected to visit the show to meet more than 200 exhibitors there.

Any Amiga hardware or software company wanting to have their products present at the booth may get in contact with the booth organizers. Contact person is Michael Czajka from the 'Melbourne Amiga Users Group' (MAUG). (sd) (Translation: mj)

Virus Help Denmark: Virus warning II
Here we go again....... Yet, again another installer of the new virus 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00'.

Again there is "NO" cure for this virus right now. You can find infected files, you will have to replace the infected files with new clean files. This installer will install the 'Hitch-Hiker v5.00' virus will add 3748 bytes to every infected file, and place it self in memory, so you will have to watch out for that as well. This virus will infect anything that it can get into.

There is a way to see if the archive you download is an installer of this virus, all you have to do is to unpack the archive, read the file in an text editor (eg. CygnusEd), and search for this text string in the code (THIS IS ONLY FOR THE INSTALLER):

-=COVAH=-

If you find -=COVAH=- in the code, that is an installer of this virus then please send he archive to us.

The virus size has change this time, now it is 3748 bytes.

In the code (decoded), you can read:

Hitch-Hiker Millenium (5.00) Featuring the Hitcher's Advanced Versatile Optimizing Codemix Engine A welcome present for Jan Erik by xxxxxx/xxx! -= On Tour 1995-2001 =-

(VHT-Denmark removed the names of the programmer handle, and replaced it with 'xxxxxx')

If this is a welcome present for Jan Erik Olausen, the programmer of VirusExecutor & xvs.library, I think that he would rather have a cold beer. But he will surely put recog. for Hitch-Hiker 5.00 in the new update of xvs.library...

The archive was uploaded to AmiNet, but it has been removed now. (Thanks Urban).

This is what we know of the virus:

Virus Type.... : Linkvirus
Virus name.... : Hitch-Hiker 5.00 (Millenium)
Virus size.... : 3748 bytes
Archive name.. : S-Exec12.lha
Archive size.. : 9.905 bytes (lha packed)
Installer name : LibBase3.10
Installer size : S-Exec
Archive info.. : Compress executables.

There might just be more installers of the 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' virus out there, we have found 3 archive in 2 days. If you find anything please send it to us.

The 'xvs.library' (external Virus Scanner library) will be updated as soon as possible. In the mean time, take care...

Thanks to D. Olsen for the info about the archive and to Ronald Dijk for sending the archive to us.

Unfortunately the Amiga version of the VNC server AmiVNC was compiled for the 68060 and therefore doesn't run on slower Amigas. I had asked the author, Stéphane Guillard, to create a version for 68020 processors but unfortunately couldn't contact him. So I have compiled a version for the 68020 and made it available for download.

Download: AmiVNC-020.lzx

The archive has been taken over completely from Stéphane Guillard, the new files only carry the appendix "-020" in the name. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Elbox explains their price policy for driver software
As already reported, Elbox has announced on the 16.08.2001 a CD with driver software you have to pay for. This has led to big and extensive discussions. In the following email Elbox explains their price policy:

ELBOX Computer explains its policy about driver pricing

1. The purpose of MEDIATOR

To ENABLE the POSSIBILITY of using a wide range of standard PCI cards.

'The MEDIATOR PCI busboard line is designed to enable expanding the Amiga with a wide range of standard PCI cards like Graphic cards, Ethernet and Fast Ethernet network cards, Modem cards, ISDN cards, USB and SCSI cards, Sound cards and Multimedia cards: TV tuner and MPEG-2 hardware decoders.

Expanding the Amiga with the MEDIATOR PCI busboard opens the way to employing the power of the latest PowerPC G3/G4 processors in Amiga, around which SharkPPC and SharkPPC+ cards are based.'

However, it does not mean that we will prepare ALL the possible drivers for ALL the possible devices and their different versions.

We want to enhance Amiga's effectiveness and give Amiga community access to low-cost, good and widely-available PCI cards.

As a starter, we have included some drivers in the initial pack of the Mediator busboard:

PCI Graphic cards: Voodoo5 5500 64MB, Voodoo4 4500 32MB, Voodoo3 3000 16MB, Voodoo3 2000 16MB, Voodoo Banshee 16 MB, S3 ViRGE 86C325 2MB, S3 ViRGE 86C325 4MB, S3 ViRGE/DX 86C375 2MB, S3 ViRGE/DX 86C375 4MB

PCI Ethernet cards: Winbond 89C940F, RealTek RTL-8029, NetVin NV5000S.C., Holtek HT80232, Holtek HT80229, Compex RL2000, SureCom NE34, KTI ET32P2, Via 86C926.

These drivers have never been free. Their price was included in the original design costs.

New drivers have to be calculated separately because...

2. No commercial software is free

Writing good and versatile software (e.g. Mediator drivers) requires time and effort, which ultimately means programmers have to receive good salaries. If users want to be supported in the long run by any company, they have to pay for its products. Money collected allows generating new ideas, new designs and new products.

3. Free alternative approach (which we do NOT follow)

Yes, we could offer software for free. We could have bought hundreds of old-fashioned PCI sound cards just a few Mark per piece (like e.g. SB Pro). Then we could write drivers to this specific batch of cards. Easy way, supporting one chipset, one specific card, branded with our name and marketed as unique. As these cards would be unique, they would have to priced high enough, say at DM 100. With "free" drivers, of course.

What's the result? You would buy an OUTDATED low-featured no-longer-supported card, paying mega-bucks not for the card but for quick software and huge extra profits for the "manufacturer."

4. Instead we give...

RESPECT. The basic rule with Elbox is that we FIRST develop, design and test and only when everything is ready and in the final stage do we announce new products. In other words, we take the risk and full cost of the designing stage. We do not demand from users making pre-payments, placing pre-orders, etc. In other words, we respect the users as full-scale Customers, who deserve to be offered a final-stage product to choose whether to take it or not, depending on their needs.

Another basic rule for us is that we prepare universal drivers, i.e. drivers supporting various chipsets. This ensures faulty-free support for many different versions of the same card. Writing software with this prerequisite in mind takes much more time and tests than writing drivers for one specific chipset/card. But what we offer is UNIVERSALITY and PERFORMANCE.

Thanks to Petra Struck & Alfred, for sending the archive to us.

Editorial:
As the system of Alfred Sturm, who's responsible for the Aminet uploads here at amiga-news.de, has been infected yesterday with this aggressive virus through installing LibBase310.lha and trying it there'll be no updates of the Aminet uploads in the near future.

The virus has unfortunately not only infected his main partition but also the partition with his backup. Some infected files are even not deleteable. He's now forced to install his system from scratch. This may take a while as laboriously self written scripts have passed away and everything has to be collected together again.

Digital Almanac III - update announcement and news
There are some news on the popular astronomy program Digital Almanac III: in the next time (very vague - summer holidays, vacation!) there'll be a new update. Due to the many new features it will become version 4.0. Here is an overview of the most important changes.

Bugfixes:
  • moon shadow on Earth at eclipse was slightly wrong since last version
  • drawing of parabola-like orbits was corrected
  • error in PHA check corrected
  • positions of Martian moons corrected (wrong reference level)
  • improved position calculation of the Galilean Moons (very exact over a long course of time)
New features:
  • new moons of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune (!) and Pluto (!)
  • partially renewed calculation kernel
  • more maps of Mars, Venus and the Galilean Moons
  • filtering functions for planets/moons, deep sky objects and constellations. They allow to set drawing parameters for each single object or groups of objects
  • reworked textures
  • telescope can be controlled now also with numeric pad in the main and telescope window
  • import of comet orbit data directly from the internet!
  • for future versions there's now an automated update from the internet available. The annoying Shell command line procedure is history.
  • Online information from the internet on planets/moons, Messier objects and constellations (through OpenURL).
Because of the many changes the update archive will be several MByte in size. Alternately the update can be ordered for a small contribution towards expenses directly from Achim Stegemann. The CD contains not only the update but also big textures as well as numerous new pictures for your image collection.

More news:
Currently an OpenGL output (through StormMesa and Warp3D) is being worked on. This is purely experimental though, and it is not certain whether Achim Stegemann will have the time to complete it.
A GL version would speed up the graphics output, especially textures, considerably. (ps) (Translation: rh)

Mailbox: Uphold The Law BBS online again!
The pure demoscene BBS "Uphold The Law" is after two days delay and the restoration of the destroyed user data online again. Especially a lot of German callers who had seen the IP in the Amiga News asked for access to the illegal areas of the mailbox. Those don't exist here, and they will never exist! Those looking for pirated software or not willing to leave their phone number can save the effort asking. With the private phone number, the sysop tries to protect himself from anonymous crackers.

GFX-BASE: Review of the ArtEffect Plug-In CD-ROM and more
At the GFX-BASE you can read a review of the newly released plug-in CD-ROM for ArtEffect. We have taken a look at the new possibilities, describe the installation and the use of the plug-ins in practice (including a hint for WinUAE users).

There have been other changes to the GFX-BASE as well: it's now possible to search through our news archive and all tutorials published so far were translated into French by our new member, Alexandre Balaban. (ps) (Translation: rh)

Darkage Software


Darkage Software website with new layout
The Italian software developers Darkage, known for games such as 'Tales from Heaven' and the 'Amiga Classix' CDs have entirely redesigned their website and updated the product pages at the same time.

There are some first screenshots of 'Supreme', the new Amiga video titling program which is scheduled for release in September. (ps) (Translation: rh)
