`13.May.2000` Czech Amiga News	Atari-Lynx emulator: Handy v1.05 On May 12th, Mathias Roslund released the Amiga version v1.05 of Keith Wilkins' Atari Lynx emulator "Handy". With this release, the Amiga version closes the gap to the Windows version. The Amiga version is based on Handy v0.70 and offers high compatibility. It supports the CD³² joypad, running on CGFx screen modes with a resolution of 320x200. Some of the changes since the last version: Change: now uses ReadArgs instead of custom CLI subroutines Change: by pressing HELP, a screenshot can be saved in PCX format New: support for Nostalgia New: SCREENMODE parameter support Handy requires an Amiga with PPC board, WarpUP v4.0+, 16 MB RAM, AGA or CGFx. Additionally, the lynxboot.img file is required. The handheld game console "Lynx" (with color screen) was developed by R.J. Mical, Dale Luck and others for Epyx. Distribution was done by Atari. It was released at the same time as the Nintendo Gameboy, but was not successful due to the higher price and lower run time, due to the color display. Development system for Lynx games was the Amiga.

`13.May.2000` James T. Steichen by e-mail	AmigaTalk v1.5 AmigaTalk version 1.5 is a GUI version of 'Little Smalltalk' (v1.0 by Tim Budd) for Amiga systems, enabling using almost all Intuition and some OS functions from SmallTalk. It is being worked upon supporting more OS functions, but AmigaTalk is far from being complete. However the system is stable, and additionally contains a collection of test files as well as a detailed documentation. AmigaTalk requires AmigaOS v3.5+, a CPU 68040+ and 2 MB free drive space. Additionally, DeckBrowser from InovaTronics is required. The author offers to send the CanDo libraries or the DeckBrowser upon request. Smalltalk is a programming language developed in the 80ies by Alan Kay at Xerox, and is considered being THE OOP language. Download: AmigaTal.lha (441K), readme. [News message: 13.

`13.May.2000` Klaus Burkert by e-mail	Submission: Interested in gfx module for DKB Wildfire? Since the "Inferno" gfx card for the 68060 accelerator "Wildfire" from DKB was not produced, and as a reaction to many discussions on the Wildfire mailinglist on possible alternatives, a survey has been started at the title link to judge how many are interested and which features are wanted. This does not come with a promise that something will be produced, or any company be contacted. [News message: 13. May. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`13.May.2000` Steven Flowers by e-mail	SWOS Euro 2000 probably won't appear SWOS Euro 2000 by ALIVE Mediasoft will probably not be released due to lack of time. A new version of SWOS is ready and could be released in time for Euro 2000, but ALIVE Mediasoft is lacking the time to get all the team and player names into the program. If there is somebody willing to help, perhaps the game could be released in time. Independantly, a new version will appear for the next UK season in August. [News message: 13.

`13.May.2000` Alexander Kurtz on ANF	Aminet-GUI now banner-free again Alexander Kurtz writes: Due to me doing my military service in the Luftwaffe starting May 1st, 2000, only now I saw that Prohosting has changed their rules and is now placing a banner to every page ending on .html or .htm. These banners sadly destroyed the looks, if not the usability of the GUI. Due to my military service I was able to react only now. The GUI should be free again of Prohosting banners in all important frames. So it is again possible to navigate the page, and make use of it. I want to say sorry to all visitors of my site, and warmly invite you to visit my site again as frequently as before. Soon I will create an archive saving the upload lists, so they can be saved for reference. I can NOT check them for obsolete files, however, but would welcome hints. Again I want to stress that I am maintaining the GUI all alone, and that I am still looking for someone interested in assisting me, since my online time is right now limited to weekends. Please contact aminet@web.de. [News message: 13. May. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]

`13.May.2000` Torsten Ketelsen on ANF	Confusion about ATC v1.1 While uploading the final version v1.1 of the FTP client AmiTradeCenter to Aminet there was a delay, giving the impression the archive was not uploaded successfully (while, in fact, it was successful). Due to this confusion, another beta version of ATC v1.1 (prerelease 8) was published on the program's homepage. Please simply think of this as prerelease 1 of ATC v1.2. [News message: 13.

`12.May.2000` Achim Stegemann in ANF	Remarks on asyncio.library V40 First of all many thanks for the positive response to the new library! I haven't expected one misunderstanding, though, which I'd like to put right. The 68k functions are NOT faster under WarpOS! You only get the speed increase if you call the new PPC functions from a PPC!! The reason is the context switch! If you would access the PPC from the 68k side, you'd get a switch every time that would slow down the system! In this case the library would be even slower. Existing programs that run under WOS would have to be adapted for the new PPC functions! I hope I haven't killed the entire euphoria, but the many feedbacks regarding this make this correction necessary. If somebody has any interest, I would be glad about a V40 version for PowerPC. Sadly, I can't realize that (yet). [News message: 12. May. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
