Hollywood now available also for MorphOS (Update)
A native MorphOS version of Hollywood is now available. This PPC version is of course much faster than the 68k one, so many effects can now be displayed in real time at an acceptable speed (on 68k computers most of the CPU intensive effects were precalculated and displayed then to make them appear smoothly). It is already very fast on my Blizzard PPC with 200 MHz so it should really fly on a Pegasos system.

So you can create now cool applications, games and demonstrations even for PPC and convert them also into native PPC executables! All Hollywood CD-ROMs shipped from now, will contain the 68k and MorphOS PPC version. If you already have the first edition of the Hollywood CD-ROM you can request the MorphOS version of Hollywood from me by sending an e-mail to me. By the way, if you want your Hollywood CD-ROM before Christmas, it is high time to order now.

Update 14.12.2002:
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
As I got some mails from people saying that they won't buy Hollywood because I'm supporting MorphOS I have to clarify that there will be AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood of course. But before this can happen, I need a developer version of AmigaOS4 and because such a version does not seem to be available currently, I cannot do anything yet. But there will be definitely an AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood (if it is API compatible to the classic AmigaOS). So, don't panic and don't send me any more of such threatening letters. It's really astonishing how serious this topic seems to be to some people. Additionally the update to the AmigaOS4 version of Hollywood will be free of charge too (as the update to the MorphOS version was). So if you are interested in Hollywood, you can also buy the program now and get the update for free when AmigaOS 4 is finally available. (ps)

Solution of the bug in the CrossfireII version sold on the fair
Even returned from the fair, the first e-mails reached us. Unfortunately in haste to finish the work on Crossfire II still before the fair an error occured. If you trie to start the program, bought on the fair, after the installation the error message "... File not executable" appears. In order to solve this problem, one has to select the menu option "instruction executes" from the Workbench menu and input in each case one of the following two lines:

protect <Ihr Crossfire2-Verzeichnis>/CF2 ADD RWED
protect <Ihr Crossfire2-Verzeichnis>/CF2_PPC ADD RWED

We would like to apologize for this error and hope for your understanding. The update that will probably appear this week will contain this correction as well as MorphOS support and German translation.

Thanks to all involved and supervisors of the fair, particularly to Eternity, which exhibited "valley of Tamar". Next year we will place the coffee. Promised.

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.
