Programmer for Realsoft 4D (Amiga) wanted!
Realsoft announced the successor of Real3D on their homepage. The new version is called Realsoft 4D, and is currently only planned for Windows, sadly, since Realsoft has so far not found a programmer willing to implement such a demanding program for the Amiga. Should someone be interested, please contact barkholt@post3.tele.dk. (ps)

This is where IWin is stealing...
We thought from the very beginning that IWin is a fake/hoax. Now, we read in the Amiga Club Forum a posting from Ulf, with a URL (title link) which confirms this anew. You find the plagiarism on the IWin coorporation website (see DatapakTM).

Dear IWin crew, don't you think it's about time to come out ;-). The title "biggest hoax/fake of Amiga history" has been yours for quite some time already :-). (ps)

S-Files
Starting immediately, clickBOOM will tell what's new every month with their "S-Files". In the current S-File there are christmas and new-year greetings. Then, a new game for girls is announced: "Sarah goes shopping" - which turns out to be a joke from Sofia (author of the newsletter.
In my opinion it wouldn't be bad to target people who don't like the shoot-em-up genre that much. (ps)

Then, the newsletter announced what can be expected from the next ten days:
Further details about the new game "Nightlong".
A new project named TNT will be announced.
A statement about PPC and future Amiga developments.
A "crazy" offer: all clickBOOM games - if you do something for it (what will be told next time). (ps)

From December 8 - 10, this year's TV- and Cable exhibition in New Delhi was held at 'Pragati Maidan' exhibition grounds.

SecondSpin v1.85 / JST Version 2.9c

SecondSpin v1.85 released
SecondSpin is a new encoder that doesn't have to be started from Shell, but offers an easy-to-use GUI. For encoding the MPEG files, the packet relies on the LAME encoder. The audio tracks can be loaded directly from the Audio-CD, and converted to MPEG Audio files. AIFF and WAV files can be converted, with the conversion MPEG -> AIFF being possible too, with support for layer 1, 2 and 3. New: Now also supports conversion of Protracker, XM, S3M and Fasttracker modules to AIFF or MP3. Download.

JST Version 2.9c
In the new version of the Degrader and HD-Installer, the WHDload emulation has been fixed. Download: jst.lha

Aminet GUI update
Alexander Kurtz writes:
I applied some changes to the layout of the interactive area. You can now easily switch between areas. For technical reasons I cannot offer the chat room anymore! I am looking for a new system hopefully usable for Amiga browsers. If you sill want to chat, I can warmly recommend #miggy.de. It is available on de.arcnet.vapor.com. Try it.

Moreover I want to announce that work on the reworked layout of the seperate directory pages is almost finished. I think I can put the expanded layout online starting next year. Since I am not at home from December 24th to somewhat around January 3rd, there won't be updates during this time. And since this update is the last one for this year, I want to wish all users a merry christmas, and a happy new year 2000. Thank you to all visiting my page regulary, and I hope you come back in 2000 to my Aminet GUI! (ps)

Followup to the statement concerning development of HSMathLibs
Matthias Henze writes:
In this statement I wrote that many users complained about bad support. It occured to me that many forums and mailing lists carried postings about the stormamiga.lib and the HSMathLibs. Obviously there are many questions on the subject, the answers of other users are however seldom close to the truth. Guesses, rumors, speculations and half-truths are spread, but almost nobody comes up with the idea to contact the author, me.

I cannot know every forum and mailinglist. If you have a question, a comment, criticism etc., has to tell me, and not simply complain about bad support. Questions and comments on the subject please by e-mail to Matthias_Henze@CyberdyneSystems.de. (ps)

Nightlong is coming
clickBOOM's Millennium Madness continues --

the biggest Amiga game ever will be ready very soon, so it's time to show you more of it.

We have prepared the Nightlong movie trailer to whet your appettite while waiting for the game. It's a cool teaser to show what the game looks like in motion. Mind you, it's in low res, and not too long so it wouldn't take forever to download.
You'll have to try to imagine it at 640x480 16-bit gfx and 16-bit sound. :)

Full specs for Nightlong will be available in a few days. (ps)

Fake Warning!
The latest Aminet upload of "VersionWB" (3.0) in util/sys is a fake. In the program itself, (probably) only the version number has been changed, the file has the same size as the current v2.12. The archive has been expanded by some "jokes".

Hĺkan Parting, author of VersionWB, writes:
If you have installed the fake version, please remove it again and replace the VersionWB command with the original. If the fake contains a virus is not yet known. Download the original: VersionWB2_12.lha. (ps)

Lambda - 3d space action game
In his Lambda status report Mikko says that most basic functions of the new 3D engine have been defined and implemented in OpenGL. That "Descent: Freespace" will now be ported was a slap in his face, since he begun Lambda development because there were no up-to-date 3D space action games for Amiga. After he recovered from the initial shock, he is wildly determined to make Lambda better than its pendant.

Does anybody know the e-mail address of Mikko Kallinen? If so, please send a short e-mail. (ps)

BUGFIX Installerscript VersCheck V2
Three days ago a bug sneaked into the VersCheckV2 Installer script. For those who didn't already fix the bug on their own:
  1. The fixed archive is on my homepage, and will soon be available from Aminet too. Download: VersCheckV2.lha
  2. Only available from my homepage is a second archive containing only the Installer script. Download: VersCv2Fix1.lha - 11 Kb.
  3. For those daring enough: In line 31 of the script, a ")" is missing at the end of the line - that's it. Somehow it got lost. The Installer message says line 1163 or such, because the effect of the missing bracket is not recognized earlier.

Amiga RC5 Team Effort News
Andreas Mayer-Gürr writes:
1.) CSC: A new PC client, twice as fast as the old one, is available.
2.) RC5: An older 68k (beta) RC5 client is available, which does not support some details of the latest client (like status bar and statistics with Myzar), but is about 30% faster. I tried it and it works very well, my 68060 does about 148 kkeys/sec instead of the 117 kkeys it did before. If you only use the client for calculating, I did not encounter problems. So:
2a.) get blocks with the latest client
2b.) calculate blocks with the beta client
2c.) submit blocks with the latest client, and continue with 2a.)... (ps)

This morning, the X-Surf ethernet cards have been delivered to all distributors at the same time, a full week delayed. The delay of the delivery was however not due to technical problems, but due to my car accident: I was busy handling police, insurance and the company that towed away my car (by the way, anyone interested in a Volvo 850 crash car?). Since the cards will reach customers before christmas, however, I think I can be pardoned, can I? (ps)

Cloanto Releases Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle: New ROMs & MP3s
For all Amiga emulation enthusiasts who ever wondered what Workbench 1.0 looked like, or what the late Jay Miner, "Father of the Amiga", has to say in his own voice about the Amiga and other interesting issues, Cloanto just released the Amiga Forever Plus Pack, which contains new Amiga ROM, Workbench and MP3 audio files! The Plus Pack joins the Amiga Forever family of emulation and support products, which are officially licensed by Gateway's Amiga companies.

Only for the next few days, the Online Edition of Amiga Forever 3.0 (stand-alone) and the Amiga Forever Plus Pack are available in a special holiday bundle for a special price.

The Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle includes the Amiga Forever Online Edition package, with its preinstalled Amiga emulation environment (1.3 and 3.1 Amiga ROM and OS) and the Amiga Explorer networking software, plus the following new items, which are part of the Plus Pack:


  • Amiga Workbench ADF files v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2, 2.04 and 2.1
  • Amiga ROM files v. 1.0, 1.1, 1.2 and 2.04 (WB 2.1 uses 2.04 ROM)
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 1: Birth of the Amiga
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 2: Computers and Society
  • Jay Miner MP3 Track 3: A New Job
  • New HTML pages, including instructions to play MP3 audio files

For download convenience, the items are archived in two files which can be downloaded separately, also with the help of an optional download wizard. It is always possible to resume an interrupted download, or to download the same file again at no additional cost. The Plus Pack is cross-platform, while Amiga Forever Online Edition is for Windows systems only.

The Amiga Forever Holiday Bundle is available now from the Amiga Forever Home Page at http://cloanto.com/amiga/forever/ (title link)
The Cloanto Team wishes all Amiga fans great holidays and a very happy New Year! (ps)

Translator wanted!
Since the "restart" of the English pages of Amiga-News, the daily translations are a one-man-job again because Marek didn't respond so far.

I am looking for users willing (long-term) to do German - English translations regulary of all news items appearing on a given day of the week (or two), and send them to me by e-mail.

You don't need to know HTML well. If you can type <A HREF=""> and <OBJECT><UL><LI>, know the pop-up menu of your favourite browser and can handle a text editor, you qualify. :-) Oh, and you should be able to read (and understand) German. ;-)

Those interested in supporting Amiga-News this way should contact me by e-mail. (ps)

Epic Marketing News
Did you enjoy the charming adventures of little Simon as much as we did? Did you always hope for the successor to be ported to Amiga? Have you been mad because this great game was only available for PC? Now there is the opportunity to change this...

Epic Marketing got the license to port Simon The Sorcerer II to Amiga. On the one hand, we are of course very proud to get the opportunity to port this great adventure to the Amiga. But with the latest ongoings at Amiga (Inc) we have to ask ourselves how many Amiga users at all are interested in a first class game? The license, the porting and the production of SImon The Sorcerer II won't be cheap. So we decided to do a pre-order campaign. We need 500 pre-orders to do Simon The Sorcerer II for Amiga. When we reach the 500 limit, the game should be available in 8 weeks.

We will update the pre-order data on our homepage weekly. Simon The Sorcerer will run on all AGA or gfx board systems with 030 CPU and sufficient memory (about 8 MB fast). The game will only be released on CD.

Please place your pre-orders here:
Online: order@epic-marketing.de

Amiga games wish list
Andreas Magerl writes:
On our homepage, area "Aktion", you'll find a form for entering your top 5 wish list for games on Amiga. The submissions are evaluated regulary, and published in each issue of Amiga Future and our homepage.

Of course it only makes sense if enough users participate. The idea is to show coders and companies over a long timespan which games are wanted by Amiga users. (ps)

AmigaOS 3.5 - self-made fix for broken AGA buttons
Michaela Prüß writes:
For all those who still have the problem with AWeb 3 SE (OS 3.5), or probably all other AWeb versions, too, that there are some colored dots instead of the buttons at the top: There is a way to fix it (already reported to amiga.de):

Load images/def_buttons in a graphics program (I did it with PPaint). Expand the palette from 8 to 16 colors, and copy the 8 colors to the 8 new ones. Then adjust the first 8; it doesn't matter to what, but it must not be any of the original 8 colors. With PPaint, all you have to do is commiting a color adjustment, and the buttons look like before (almost, I had to swith RED and GREEN manually). Then cut it out (preferrably more precise than I did), and save it as imags/def_buttons (back up the original, you never know...). With the 16-color version it worked on first try, and I can finally see the buttons. If someone gets it done precisely, please send me a copy - I never got the hang to paint programs...

Oh, yes, the 16 colors. Don't tell me you surf with 8 colors and it wouldn't work that way. If you surf the web with 8 colors, you should be used to looks like that...

Dennis Gronewald followed up:
There is an easy way to get rid of the gfx bugs in AWeb. Simply enter the image drawer of AWeb. Here you find the file "def_Buttons". Simply put braces around the "Transparent" tool type. Worked for me. (ps)

New CD32 game
Andreas Etzrodt writes:
Good news: We recieved permission by Petro Tyschtschenko himself to offer CD32 games. Without license fees. Citing Petro: "Dear Andreas, we don't want to make money by that. As long as it is not commercial, it's free." Since we already distribute it as Shareware, luckily we don't face any additional costs.

By the way, many have misunderstood our first announcement. Of course we don't want to release a commercial game, with pressed CDs including cover. We want to create a runnable CD32 CD with our own CD-R. Of course it will include a cover, but only a self-printed one.

So interested CD32 owners can contact us, and probably place their pre-order. The CD will not cost more than 15 Euro, probably much less (we did not yet calculate what is possible).

Oh, and for those who missed the first announcement: We talk about the Shareware game "SHARKS!", which is available as demo version from Aminet. Most likely it will be adapted to AGA, so the hardware performance of the CD32 is used.

Source code for DESCENT 2 released!
Sascha Koebner writes:
At the title link, capable Amiga coders can download the source code for 'Descent 2' (by Interplay), and of course port it (!). 'Descent 2' is the successor of the successful 360 degree 3D shooter. The comparatively smart KI, and the heavily improved 3D engine compared to 'Descent 1' should be enough motivations for coders to try their skills at it. It seems to be the source code for the PC version 1.2. (ps)

VersCheck V2 FINAL RELEASE
Michaela Prüß writes:
Starting immediately, VersCheck v2.19 (FINAL RELEASE) is available for download from my homepage. An Aminet upload has been submitted, it should be available there tomorrow.
FINAL RELEASE, since I need the next version of VersCheck for my Install script project, so I finished everything important that was left open or undone, and created a last update release. The next version will therefore be v3 (assuming there are no necessary bugfixes to do). What has changed?
  • Some settings can be done by ENV:
  • The whole version sensing has been reworked, being faster and safer
  • Output can optionally be done in ANSI (so important things can be highlighted)
  • A small statistic has been added
  • Some small and large fixes have been done, internal help -? updated
  • Two bad memory faults, which seldomly occured, but were there in the old version, have been detected and removed
  • Special News-Doc in the doc drawer "NewInThisVersion"
  • New .catalogs (update only German / English so far. So do the update with Installer only)
  • Internal ReqTools requesters replaced by ASL requesters. I had problems getting the old requesters to work with WarpOS and PowerUP, with numerous memory faults. The ASL requesters do work, and are 100% identical with WarpOS and PowerUP.

To all who still have my Webjump homepage in their bookmarks: Due to the bad bandwidth and continuous server downtimes, I moved the pages to http://24.132.37.25/~Gateway/, a different, very fast "free web service" (for all still looking for such, have a look at http://24.132.37.25/index.html). The old address does however link to the current page. Since I wanted it to be easier, there are direct adresses to the pages (please only use these, web layout will change shortly).
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5 (login with language choice)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/D (German contents)
  • http://Gateway.To/Gateway5/E (English contents)
  • NW:LGateway5 (NETWORD call) does currently NOT work with the three Amiga browsers, only with Netscape and IE. Should be implemented some time, however.

Bad availability of KatoDev
We, too, have been affected by the moving of one of the biggest providers (Xlink). The server responsible for our web pages (http), their maintenance (ftp) and e-mails (pop3) are either unavailable or offer only very low bandwidth. We ask for your patience, since we cannot switch providers fast enough.

You are always looking for mp3 input, e.g. for AmigaAMP. Who still remembers the rock legend "Birth Control" and their hit "Gammaray"??? A great remake of this song has been released for free download by the original artists at www.birth-control.de/CD-gammaray90.htm (title link).
For rock fans a must-have, for techno fans a gateway to new dimensions... :-). (ps)

Alexander Kurtz writes:
Following a wish by Ingo Bowe, greetings to you, I expanded the upload list by a new function. This function allows changing the list sorting, which can now be done by date or directory. Also new is the server choice. By clicking on the country flag you can switch to the uploads of the according mirror server. This function is also available for the search function. For the other directories this is in the works.

In the update of December 10th, I made an embarrasing mistake, which has already been fixed. However, I realized that some 4.x versions of Netscape Navigator do have problems with my target tags. I try to fix the problem as soon as possible.

On this point, I want to mention my forum and my guestbook. Both can be found in the top bar at "Interactive". Tell me what you think of my page, or whatever you have to say about Amiga. I am looking forward to your posts. (ps)

TreeList source code released
John Haubrich, too, has released the source code for almost all his programs. Download: www.kc.net/~johnhkc/amigasrc/

He writes:
Nearly all of my Amiga source code has been released on my web page including source for the lovely TreeList MUI custom class. If you are planning to update TreeList, I have a few suggestions:
  1. Implement a getter that returns the order of the tree.
  2. Use this value to dynamically allocate stack space for the iterator methods instead of requiring the class user to allocate the buffer manually. (What do you think of THAT, Allan?? Trust me -- he likes it!)
  3. Send a unique code into the iterators so that multiple iterators may still be used. ** The only problem is: who frees the stack buffers? I guess you'll need a FinishUsingIterator method.

Finally, I'm selling my A4000T on EBay (soon) which has all the source and more...
P.S. If 100 people will send me $100,000 each, I'll continue developing for Amiga. ;-) (ps)

AudioLabs News
ProStationAudio Version 2.50 will be available for a millenium special price. Further details in the official press release:

From:        AudioLabs info@audiolabs.it
To:          team@amiga-news.de
Date:        Tue, 14 Dec 1999 17:07:46 +0100
Subject:     News

Press Release

DATE:     14-Dec-99
TOPIC:    NL-editing system for Amiga, Flyer and Draco
CONTACT:  info@audiolabs.it


AmigaOS goes back to Hollywood!

EMRL (http://www.emrl.com) is handling the production of the first
AudioLabs (http://www.audiolabs.it) commercial shot on film, focusing
on the ProStationAudio software for AmigaOS.

Stills from the set are online at:
                 http://www.audiolabs.it/news.html
                 http://usa.audiolabs.it/news.html

The location was Chapman University audio studio, in Los Angeles.
The 30 second commercial was shot in color using an Arriflex SR16
camera, with Kodak Vision film. The script deals with a studio
recording session, involving a cellist playing in the recording
room, while a sound engineer works on ProStationAudio for AmigaOS
in the control room.

The film footage will be digitally captured for post-prodution
on an Amiga-based NewTek Flyer system. Audio post-production
will be performed with ProStationAudio itself.

EMRL is pioneering hi-quality film-based productions for Internet
distribution. Their film-based commercials are shot with care for
classic aspects of production such as lighting and exposure, and
also take into account Internet related details like video
compression and motion artifacts reduction.



To celebrate the last ProStationAudio release of this millennium,
AudioLabs is offering, until December 27th, 1999, the fresh new
ProStationAudio 2.50 at a special discount price.

When ordering before the deadline, you can get ProStationAudio 2.50
for US$299 instead of US$395.

ProStationAudio 2.50 is the ultimate solution for digital audio on
AmigaOS. It integrates with existing technologies and pushes them
forward: from native Studio16 files support to NewTek Flyer audio
clips import/export, from Draco binary compatibility to AHI-compatible
support for almost every card on the market, from Elite/SoundStage
EDL import to dual-CPU/dual-monitor operating modes.


Starting January, AudioLabs will expand the ProStationAudio family
of products with the hi-end ProStationAudio Millennium. The new
application, among other features, doubles editing power by
supporting 32 audio channels in the timeline.

ProStationAudio 2.50: New Features.

- PSA-AHI transdriver.
                    2.50 supports two families of audio drivers for
                    maximizing compatibility and flexibility. Beside
                    the orginal AudioLabs drivers you can now use any
                    AHI driver for realtime operations.

- Batch Import.
                    Select a directory and let ProStationAudio import
                    all the audio files, unattended. Great for handling
                    large MP3 collections or building effects libraries
                    on removable media for audio/video production.

- Tone generation.
                    Generate pure tones in the 5Hz:24000Hz range. 64bit
                    accuracy. Applications: test signals, striping of
                    masters with sync tones.

- Sweep generation.
                    Generate tones that sweep continuously from/to any
                    frequency in the 5Hz:24000Hz range. 64bit accuracy.
                    Applications: testing of listening rooms and devices'
                    frequency response, special effects.

                    durations.

- EDL import.
                    ProStationAudio now can import Edit Lists. Create a
                    script with a text editor and let ProStationAudio
                    build the whole project for you, automatically. New
                    ProStationAudio edit list format.

- EDL plugins.
                    EDL plugins allow to import EDLs from other systems.
                    ProStationAudio comes standard with plugins for the
                    Producer EDLs (Elite/SoundStage) and the Studio16
                    EDLs (AD516/AD1012).

                    projects.

- Nudging.
                    Nudging with variable step (numerical entry, range
                    size or object size). Move audio objects accuratly
                    using keyboard shortcuts.

- Extended MP3 support.
                    Extended MP3 support including now Wave mpegs and
                    a gain requester for the decoder.

Problems with ImageFX 4.0
There is a problem with the latest versions of ImageFX 4.0 and 4.1 under AmigaOS 3.5. Cycle gadgets are not displayed! Obviously ImageFX cannot handle the chooser.gadget version of 3.5. Haage & Partner and Nova Design have already been notified by me.

I have created a little patch in the meantime, patching ImageFX to make use of the chooser.gadget from the Aminet ClassAct demo, so the program is at least usable.

The patch should appear in Aminet soon: gfx/ifx/IFX-patcher.lha.
The patch and more information about it is available from my homepage (title link) under ARexx-Scripts.

And one hint for ImageFX 4.0 CD: The installation cannot be started from CD, since the Installer icon and the script have different names. So copy everything to hard drive (about 8 MB), and then start installation. (ps)

New Amiga CD32 game
Andreas Etzrodt writes:
Hello CD32 owners! Aren't you upset that there aren't even "simple" new games for your system? There you are owning an "Amiga compatible" console and cannot access all games... Solution: home made!

We (Christian Steiner and myself) succeeded in burning the Shareware game "Sharks!" (coded by Christian, demo on Aminet) to CD and make it run on an Amiga CD32.

This is owed to Michael Ulbrich, who gave me many hints. Due to his help, it worked on first try. Many thanks to Michael!

Why I am writing this? I would like to know if there is interest in expanding this game as CD32 version. I mean if noone would want the game, it isn't worth the time to "pep it up". And there are license issues to clarify. You need a "Trademark File", which had to be licensed from Amiga (at least in Commodore times). I will write to Amiga Int. if this is still necessary, and how much it would cost.

So write me if you are interested in a CD32 version of Sharks!. Besides, Sharks! does not have to be our last game for CD32. We can of course release other (self written) games in CD versions. But as I said before, clarify the license issues and judge interest in this. (You can already contact me anyhow.) E-mail: the_shark@gmx.de. (ps)

New Image Engineer PlugIn
Visual Border grows and splits as 2 separate plug-ins.
Visual Alpha is that new plug-in. It allows you to create grey alpha masks, which you, after once calculated, can keep and composite with other images later. For people, who are not familiar with alpha masks; Think about a stamp or actually it's edges. This plug-in can create you a stamp shaped image and mask with smooth edges. You can then composite it to a bigger image. Ofcourse there are other more complex effects, than simple edge effects. This could be great tool for one, who is creating graphics for video.
Visual Card-plug-in also will soon benefit from Visual Alpha.

OFFER OF THE MONTH
Register Visual Border for Image Engineer and get Visual Alpha for free. This could be very good christmas present for somebody. However last day to order is 9. January 2000. So, if you next morning after change of millennium, find couple of wrinkled bucks from you pocket...
Remember that all minor and major updates of registered plug-ins will always be free for you. Already registered users of Visual Border will get version of Visual Alpha with few effects for free. Just for being good customers.
Visual Engineering is a powerful collection of plug-ins, scripts and graphical material for shareware image manipulation program, Image Engineer.
Plug-ins bring new features to Image Engineer, what even by itself can do lots of image manipulation tricks. All the plug-ins are controlled by user friendly GUI. With couple of mouse clicks, you can do heavy image manipulation. Logos? Click. Frames around image? Click. Most of the plug-ins are free. Some of them aren't. I'm sure the few graphical examples at new website of Visual Engineering should convince you. You can however try demoversions of non-free plug-ins. Online shopping is possible by a credit card.

WBInfo 3.0 - not enough interested so far
Some weeks ago, we issued a request for people interested in a v3 version of WBInfo to contact us and answer the following questions:
  • Who is using WBInfo in which configuration?
  • What are the things you don't like in WBInfo?
  • What is your personal wish list for WBInfo?
  • If WBInfo would be Shareware, what would you be willing to pay for it?

So far, we recieved only 9 mails. That's a little frustrating. If you are interested, please contact us. If a minimum of 20 announces interest in a Shareware version, we start development. (ps)

16th Chaos Communication Congress in Berlin, December 27th-29th 1999
Hello friends of chaos, you always try your best, but that's how things are going: You had to wait until the last second for the website and the FAQ. That's over now. With the next mail, the complete FAQ will be going down the Chaos Update. Click the title link for info.

But now for the Congress: just as last year, the Congress is taking place in Berlin, house Am Köllnschen Park. Those who attended last year will easily find their way, since we are planning only minimal changes.

The rooms are changed only slightly, the important parts (lecture rooms and hack center) will be as usual. The press rule has been simplified, and one achievement from the camp or another can be found on the congress. Have a look at the projects.

Perhaps there is something in there for you. If you are planning to join the congress with an interesting project of your own, contact orga. Otherwise we wish you and ourselves a relaxed congress, and most important much fun at the systems.

Sun announces Java 2 for Linux
"Sun has just announced they will offer an own Linux version of the Java 2 Platform, Standard Edition (J2SE). So far, official statements said that Sun supports the Blackdown Porting Team in its efforts in a port to the free operating system. The driving force behind this change of mind is probably the company Inprise, which plans to add the J2SE to their JBuilder announced for the beginning of the next year, and added manpower to the port. Starting immediately, a preview version (Release Candidate 1) can be downloaded from Suns developer site (free registration required)." (ps)

BUGFIX: The change in v2.11 with the TEXT argument broke a few scripts, e.g. VersionCopy.dopus distributed with VersionWB. Those scripts should now work again.
NEW: VersionComp.dopus5 script for Dopus 5.5+ was added to the distribution. It was made by Wolfgang Breisch.
BUGFIX: Fixed problem with XPK-packed files that could not be unpacked, due to missing resources.

Phase5: G4 boards in first quarter 2000, with AGP-slot
Sebastian Hübner writes:
Today I got mail from Phase5: The G4 boards will be coming in first quarter 2000, and with an AGP slot on-board. The CyberVisionNG will therefore be based on NVidia, 3Dfx or ATI chips. Due to the standard slot, it will be possible to offer LinuxPPC as an alternative to QNX Neutrino OS.
The delay is due to the unavailability of the Motorola MPC107 controller chip and delivery schedules for G4/400 MHz not being met (see also news of October 26th, 1999).
Sadly there are no news on this subject on the Phase5 website. (ps) (ps)

WBInfo 3.0?!
Ulrich Hambuch writes:
To all WBInfo users, and users of the MUI Scalos Information Module.
Before we undergo writing a new version of WBInfo, which is really meant to be a major update, we want to know:
  • Who is using WBInfo and in which configuration?
  • What are the things you don't like in WBInfo?
  • What is your personal whish list for WBInfo?
  • If WBInfo would be Shareware, what would it be worth to you?

WBInfo is the best Info replacement for AmigaOS so far, and if you want development to continue, contact pixar@gmx.net or eric@tro.net. (ps)

Holger Kruse goes REBOL
Holger Kruse writes:
There will be some changes at Nordic Global for the year 2000. In a nutshell:
  • Starting January 1st, 2000, I will work full time for REBOL Technologies, and will therefore not be able to spend as much time on Amiga software development as I used to.
  • I will move from Florida to California, which may cause some service outages of my Internet presence and delays during the months of December '99 and January 2000.
  • All of my Amiga software is still supported, except for Daytona, which unfortunately has to be cancelled, because of lack of time and a conflict of interest regarding Java and REBOL. I will try to find a way to release the current snapshot or have development continue by others in some way though.

For the full announcements please see
www.nordicglobal.com/ng2000.txt

PNG and Amiga
The book "PNG - The Definite Guide", by Greg Roelofs, O'Reilly, ISBN 1-56592-542-4, mentions the Amiga positively for a change:
Especially considering PNG, it is very easy to support new file formats in Amiga browsers by using Datatypes... to briefly cite the book (p.36):
"On the Amiga, it is ubiquitous, thanks to a technological marvel, known as datatypes, (a kind of super-DLL that, among other things, provides generic image support); but under operating systems like BeOS or Atari TOS, it is virtually nonexistent."
Of course this leads to Amiga WWW browsers and a collection of Amiga tools and applications get very good comments (some from myself, too ;) The book is also very open towards other alternative platforms (Acorn, BeOS, Macintosh, NextStep, OS/2).
Bottom line: worth reading. (ps)

Many requests for Melody-Z2
We thank the users for the big interest in Melody-Z2, and the companies Rüdiger Gruner Bürotechnik and DCE for the quick, uncomplicated revival:
There was only a minimum number of Melody-Z2 sitting on the shelves half assembled. These cards were gone some hours after the announcement. This was unsatisfactory for Katodev. The cooperation of Katodev, Gruner and DCE now makes it possible to initiate a small production run. Special thanks goes to DCE. Save the expansion port, the card is identical to the one offered until one year ago.
If your order was declined, ignore it for the time being. sales@katodev.de should contact you explaining the additional availability. After this, however, Melody-Z2 is done for sure. The MPEG1-DSP used (layer 1+2) is no longer available. Melody1200Plus (only this option, because of the same DSP being used) is also running out of production.
We want to warn, however, not to see Melody-Z2 as a replacement for the Melody1200-series. Melody-Z2 was intended as Paula replacement (plus MP2 hardware interesting back then). Melody1200 is much better from both a functional and quality point of view. We recommend preferring the Unity+Melody1200xxx solution, in the very least compare them. Colored technical readouts (PDF) can be found in the Docs area on our homepage.
More information can be ordered from sales@katodev.de. (ps)

TWF News
_#TWF News.#_

#1. TWF Opinion Polls#
#2. Explorer 2260 Update.#
#3. Maim & Mangle Update.#
#4. Next News Update#

~~~~~~

#1. TWF Opinion Polls#

There has only been only poll held this month which asked the question:
"What is your favourite type of game ?".

This was split into 10 different game types with the top 2 choices being
RPGs and Space Sims with the votes of 37 and 33 respectively. Well no
surprise you're all wanting a good space sim. :)

A new poll will appear soon.


#2. Explorer 2260 Update.#

Here are a few of the things that have been done for Explorer 2260 in
November:

    - RedHat 6 (LinuxPPC 3Q99) has been installed and, while lots of setup
work
      still needs to be finished, work on the Linux server core routines is
      continuing.

    - More background documents for the CEG are being created.


#3. Maim & Mangle Update.#

Work is continuing on M&M and here is what has happened in November on
development.

    - (temporary) removed the obj's shadow due a few bugs.

    - Optimized the 3D math routines.

    - The collision routine now working perfectly (in the sense that it
      recognize a collision situation.)

    - Removed a lot of bugs.

    - The loading routines are now a little bit faster.

    - New Warp3D supporting Object Editor for 68k (PPC version coming soon).

    - Further M&M game design thrashed out.


#4. Next News Update#

Installer v3.1, v3.5, ...NG, New... (get a script first!)
Currently more and more news are read about different Installer programs. Not only OS3.5 has finally brought an update to the old C= Installer, "the others" are active, too.
But to be honest, it's not about looking better and having more features, but who is most compatible and handles script errors best.
It's because the scripts are the weak spot, not the Installer. Installer is much more capable than most people are aware of. Well, I am right now facing the task of writing such a script myself, and so I came up with the idea to create a library with functions. After some talks with several people, it changed into something completely different, an Installer Script Maker. Right now in beta demo v0.1 (0.2 in the pipe), it should quickly turn into an Installer make system. The whole thing is an Installer script itself. This means that someone wanting to write a script will simply have to start the Installer, edit the basic rules and wait. Of course some little C programs are running in the background to simplify things.

The complete system will be expandable on a modular layer, create scripts as uniform as possible (created from ready modules) which will be protected against errors as good as possible with growing usage and experience.

I hope this will finally bring us error tolerant installations handled in a uniform manner. Extras like backing up system files before overwrite, or ready translations of standard functions in as many languages as possible will be only a small step from there.

If you want to see how the first attempts looked like (no longer up-to-date), I posted the beta 0.1 on my homepage. The documentation is English for now, so a maximum number of people understand it.

I'd like to see this as basis for discussions of all interested. And now I have enough work putting the file lists in the interactive script... (ps)

Novia is a new Open Source BBS program, integrating internet services like mail, NNTP, IRC, Instant Messaging into a BBS system. The basic system consists of BBS, file & board services, and the mailer daemon is already finished. To speed up project development I am looking for volunteers helping in finishing the system.
