ParaGlide News
According to an e-mail I recieved from Villagetronic, the Amiga section has been placed into competent hands:

"The Paraglide will be finished and produced by the developers themselves. (...) For more detailed information please ask burkert@sophisticated-development.de.

So perhaps something will happen within this year for the 3D hardware accelerator for the PicassoIV. Blittersoft already accepts preorders for the card.

WarpGIF-Datatype Bugfixes
There is a major bugfix for WarpGIF-DT (v40.2), which fixes most of the known bugs.
  • corrupted pictures resulted in a crash due to a bug in the program
  • transparency now supported, IBrowse displays the correct pictures
  • the first frame should be loaded and displayed for most GIF anims
  • Only the global color palette is loaded right now, the local color palette is skipped
  • the OM_UPDATE method might return an undefined value occassionally, but this doesn't cause troubles until now

Web Survey: Windows Way Ahead
As an exception we are citing the entire article from Heise.

«With the survey on the best operating system at MSNBX things turned in a wonderfull way. On Friday morning Linux still was ahead with 28% of 18,500 votes, as reported, and now the percentage of votes for the free operating system decreased to 3% of 384,848 votes, untill Sunday evening.

This survey took a curious way: Linux had its grand level at about 03:00 AM with 39%, of the up to that time given 29,100 votes a number of 11,350 belonged to the free operating system. Within the following 20 hours 126,500 votes more were given, of which only 800 voted for Linux (0.6%), stunningly. By that the percentage of votes for Windows 95/98/ME, as well as for NT/2000 was dubbled. Now some are getting suspicious that there must have happened some manipulation. Don't trust any statistics you didn't faked yourself.... »

Supplement 09-19-2000: Andreas Mixich via eMail
Microsoft accepted that the survey was manipulated and in the meantime it was removed leaving the following note:

EDITOR'S NOTE:
Sept. 18 MSNBC has removed the Live Vote originally published with this story due to what appeared to be electronic ballot stuffing. The Live Vote, which asked readers which personal computer operating system they think is the best, received a large influx of votes in the past few days, skewing the results. MSNBC has removed the Vote in light of this. MSNBC Live Votes are not scientifically valid surveys.

For a longer time there were no news about AWeb-II, a browser by Yvon Rozijn, distributed by Amitrix Development. Today there are some.

Michael Lange informed us about some reports about a AWeb 3.4 betaversion at the AWeb-mailinglist. But he has no informations about new features.

You can find a new norwegian version of the AWeb-II localization catalogues and updateted versions of some plugins. Furthermore they have now an extra page for the AWeb-Mailinglist.

Audiomaster2k and AmiMDC800 Updates
At the software area you find updates of Audiomaster2K, a sample editor. The software is shareware and with the alphaversion 0.52a available for download you will not be able to save your work.

AmiMDC-800 were updated, too. The new release has the version number 1.73. You can use this program to control your Mustek MDC-800 and transfer pictures to your computer. Because the software is a commercial product you, will not be able to transfer pictures with the downloadable version.

ISDN-Mon V4 Available
At the time being Dirk Tietke is not able to maintain his homepage and to fix the known problems with broken links. Furthermore it is not possible to say when he will be able to access his webserver with his Amiga computer again, and to provide new updates.

That's the reason why we made the archive available at our own downloadside.

This leads to the download site

COMA, Is That a Virus?
NO! COMA is the name of the new clubmagazin (German) of the "Allgemeiner ComputerClub Magdeburg" (AccM). Presumably it will be published on the 7th of october 2000 at our homepage. The first issue will feature a report about the exhibition in Neuss, a HTML-Tutorial and much more. But it should not be a AccM-Magazin only, everyone who wants to write something is invited to write articles. The articles could be about new hardware, commentaries about up-to-date problems, jokes, comicstrips or what ever you would like to write about.

And because we are a general computer club you do not have to write about Amiga the articles can even be about PC or MAC or any other computer or OS. The last date for articles for issue number 2 is the 1st october 2000. But we are still looking for authors for the upcoming issues.

WarpGIF-Datatype
The first GIF datatype for WarpOS is now freely available for all PPC-Amigas.

After datatypes for JPEG and PNG under WarpOS (done by Oliver Roberts and Andreas Kleinert) this datatype now closes the gap for the widely spread GIF format.

According to Achim Stegemann this GIF datatype is speedwise around twice as fast as the original Gif-DT of the OS 3.5.

At the moment only OS 3.1 and 3.5 are supported. OS 3.0 follows later on.

For further information (and download) see titlelink.

AMI Sector One Updated
Bernd Gmeineder writes:

This time we have got permission from the companies "Talking Birds" (known for football manager games) and "Polarware" (once specialised in adventure games) to offer their Amiga game on our site for download. Some of the games of these firms, like "Oo Topos (Adventure, already released in 1986 in the USA) and "Der Trainer" (german football manager with very good reviews in "Amiga Joker" and "Amiga Games") are now ready for download.

Further on other games, for example "Dungeon Krampfer", "Thromulus" and others, have been added.

Besides these credits concerning around 200 more Amigagames were integrated in the searchable database. The music section was updated with new soundtracks of Amiga games like "Lethal XCess", and more.

Around 60 hires cover scans of classic Amiga games are finishing this update.

The URL for all this is: http://www.emucamp.com/amiga/.

VMC's Technical Library is Online
Harald Frank wrote:
Since today our hardware dictionnary is online at last, where every in our products technical interested user or programmer may find everything what is needed to write drivers for Linux, NetBSD or other operating systems which exist for Amiga.

Should there be a lack of important information or you have some ideas and suggestions concerning these sites, then please write an email to support@vmc.de

If you know a Linux or NetBSD programmer who is capable of porting drivers to one of these systems or, even better, has already written successfully own drivers, then inform him kindly about our new dictionnary pages with the request for a port of the missing drivers. We'll give as much technical help as is possible to everybody who wants to do this.

I think, with your support we'll be able to point all waiting users to new drivers for Linux and NetBSD.

This leads you to the Technical Library.

AmigaNG Programs Overview Updated
The CD32 Alliance wrote:

And again the AmigaNG programs overview was updated (dated: 17.9.2000) and contains now all programs that were released since the appearing of the AmigaSDK.

Since the last update 3 programs were added, so that now 70 NG programs are registered.

From now on the AmigaNG programs overview will be updated every sunday. I ask you to consider this.

Urgently german owners of the AmigaSDK are wanted to write reviews about some of the already released NG programs or to introduce NG programs.

Furthermore we search owners of the new d'AMIGA to introduce this also with a detailed review.

To speed up the development of programs for the AmigaNG programmers are wanted who can create a comprehensive workshop about the programming using the new AmigaSDK.
