LouiSe: PHP V4.2.3 (Standalone), CircleMUD V3.1
Already at the beginning of December, LouiSe had released ports of PHP V4.2.3 and CircleMUD V3.1 for 68k Amigas.

PHP V4.2.3:
This is a standalone (without WWW server) version of the script language PHP, which is used in particular for generating dynamic Web pages.

CircleMUD V3.1:
CircleMUD is a multi user dungeon game system (MUD) by Jeremy Elson which had originally been developed at the John Hopkins University's Department of Computer Science and represents a derivative of DikuMUD Gamma 0.0, which had been developed in 1990 by Katja Nyboe, Tom Madsen, Hans Henrik Staerfeldt, Michael Seifert and Sebastian Hammer at the University of Copenhagen.

MUDs are text based worlds, into which users log in through the Internet to explore the worlds with an own character and interact with other characters. More about this on the home page of CircleMUD.

The Amiga archive contains only the binaries - no lib, doc or other files. The complete archive is available on ftp://ftp.circlemud.org/.

There are binaries for 68020, 68040 and 68060.

GoldED Studio AIX: Service Pack 5, FACE/ON V0.9
Already on 6th December 2002, Dietmar Eilert had released service pack 5 for his editor package 'GoldED Studio AIX' as well as version 0.9 of the theme installer 'FACE/ON'.

Service Pack 5:
Service Pack 5 is available to registered users for free download. It is mainly a maintanance upgrade, yet it also contains some fine tuning of the optics.

Prerequisite for this upgrade is GoldED Studio AIX SP3 or GoldED Barebones SP3. Older installations can only be updated with the Service Pack CD.

Free versions:
The GoldED demo version available for free download has also been updated to Service Pack 5. These versions are restricted to a text length of 1000 lines - yet the editor itself has no other functional restrictions. The only things missing are some add-ons such as the gcc compiler and the spell checker to keep the download size within limits.

FACE/ON V0.9
FACE/ON is a theme installer for GoldED. With FACE/ON theme previews can be viewed and the themes as well as alternative menus can be installed (screenshot).

System requirements contain a gfx card and GoldED Studio AIX SP5 or GoldED Barebones SP5.

ARC 2002: Pictures of the first day by amiga-news.de
Hilke made a bunch of photos at the ARC 2002. As you can see from the pictures and subtitles, the Pegasos was the highlight of the show. However, until noon Thendic were busy setting up and installing all in all 30 computers. After that the users were able to get a picture of the Pegasos in conjunction with MorphOS.

The AmigaOne, however, was presented as well. Once at the stand of Amiga-Club and at Vesalia's. In both cases the operationg system running was Linux. There were no news to be gathered about AmigaOS. Yet I have clearly sounded out a tendency with the users: Many look upon a Pegasos with AmigaOS as the optimal solution.

Context menus for OS3.5+
The program ContextSAS allows creation and use of context sensitive menus for AmigaOS3.5+. It supports the DefIcons system. With the help of a few additional tools you can even iconify Workbench windows and create links. The author is always thankful for remarks and suggestions. (ps) (Translation: cb)

Chris Hodges: Time to say goodbye!
In his known humorous way Chris Hodges tells us that he'll be on vacation for the next seven weeks. He'll be in New Zealand till 2003, 24th January and has today uploaded an update for Poseidon with some bug fixes. Here's the original message:

Dear Poseidon users,

I'm leaving the Amiga. Yes, I've had enough of all that fighting and bitching. Instead, I'll try to live on a green island with lots of sheep. Good bye and farewell!

Now get up from the floor, stop crying, I'm only off to New Zealand for about seven weeks of vacation and I will return to my one and only true love (currently, just my Amiga :( ) on 24th January 2003. But before I'm leaving on a jet plane, I've uploaded a small update of Poseidon for your benefit. Not much has changed, however, a few bugfixes reported by some of you have been incooperated. See changelog for details.

As I'm away from my machine, don't write private emails, if you have any problems. Please use the Yahoo Mailing List instead, there are a lot of people who could give a hand.

So, please enjoy the time off, I will certainly do so. And don't forget to use Trident regularily >>>;-) (ps) (Translation: wk)

Gamel: ScummVM 0.3.0 released
Version 0.3.0 of the popular interpreter for Lucasarts games has been released today. On the download page are executables for several operating systems available including the MorphOS binary. A complete distribution with PDF manual and Ambient PNGIcons will be released probably tomorrow by me.

ScummVM MorphOS supports now also MIDI music that is qualitywise much better than the Adlib sound used until now. What is needed for this is the Etude MIDI device that I unfortunately can't make available for download yet. People who should see me today in Aachen at the beta tester conference may ask me for a version.

Regarding the legal issues with Lucasarts there's still no solution. A comprehensive description of the situation as it is right now can be found on the ScummVM site.

The improvements in detail:

0.3.0b (2002-12-06)
- fix major race condition resulting in extremely frequent crashes on MorphOS/PocketPC (supercedes unreleased 0.3.0 version)

0.3.0 (2002-12-01)
- massive cleanup work for iMUSE. Sam and Max music now plays correctly
- many bugfixes for Zak256, + sound and music support
- music support for Simon the Sorcerer on any platform with real MIDI
- experimental support for Indy3 (VGA) - Indiana Jones + Last Crusade
- completed support for Monkey1 VGA Floppy, The Dig
- added akos16 implementation for The Dig and Full Throttle costumes
- added digital iMUSE implementation for The Dig and Full Throttle music.
- Loom CD speech+music syncronisation improved greatly
- added midi-emulation via adlib, for platforms without sequencer support
- code seperation of various engine parts into several libraries
- several fixes to prevent Simon the Sorcerer crashing and hanging
- hundreds of bugfixes for many other games
- new SMUSH video engine, for Full Throttle and The Dig
- new in-game GUI
- launcher dialog

There is the first beta version of the new SVGA-graphic driver for the operating system AROS which can be activated over the boot menu. The driver may not work on some computers but nevertheless it shows what can be graphically possible. The current used 4bit VGA modus is supposed to be substituted by the 16bit or 32bit SVGA modus.

Besides this Eric W. Schwartz has given the AROS project a mascot: Kitty should be worth a look. (ps) (Translation: dr)
