Minipeg: Germany's smallest Pegasos computer/GPS support included
The Minipeg is a Pegasos I/G3 board built into a custom small case of stable V2A stainless steel. The case measures 34 x 9 x 19 cm, the steel has a thickness of 1 mm. The second component is a 7" TFT monitor which power is supplied by the Minipeg. The monitor has VGA input and a remote control. Keyboard and mouse are wireless. Furthermore, a fanless Radeon 7000 graphics card and a 2.5" hard disk are used.
The Minipeg is powered either by a small power supply, a car battery or some nickel-cadmium accumulator batteries. The power consumption is 24 Watt at 12 Volt. Instead of a normal ATX power supply, a fanless DC/DC converter with an ATX mainboard cable is used. The converter works with 10-30 Volt direct voltage.
Also integrated into the Minipeg is a GPS receiver, for which a custom navigation software has been written. Thus, the Minipeg can be used in a car or possibly even at hiking.
The software currently uses a map of Germany scaled 1:600,000 and operates in two modi: as a viewer for road maps and for GPS navigation. The first modus allows to scroll or zoom the map. In the second modus, the map display is directly linked with the data coming from the GPS receiver. After switching into the GPS modus, the map is centered to the current GPS position once the first data are received from the GPS module.
Alternatively and independent of the chosen modus, it's possible at any time to display the GPS information in a transparent window.
The projection of the reticule of longitude and latitude degrees on the current map unfortunately doesn't deliver an exact positioning. The aberration on this map may be up to 10 km depending on the direction. The work needed for a correct calculation of the position on this map would not be justified by the cost-value ratio. But the inaccuracy gets moderated by using a GNS database.
A GNS database contains coordinates linked to the corresponding places. These GNS databases do exist for all countries and can be downloaded from Internet. The accuracy of this database for Germany is about one square kilometer. These places are displayed also by the software when the map gets centered to the current position of when these data are displayed in a separate window. This way, the user always knows where on the map he's currently located. (snx)

E3B: USB controller 'Subway' - another production run? (Update)
E3B are currently gauging the demand for their clockport USB controller Subway. Using this
expansion, even Classic Amigas lacking Zorro- or PCI-slots have access to
USB peripherals. The remaining stock of Subway cards has been sold quite
some time ago - but given sufficient demand, E3B would be willing
to produce another batch.
If you're seriously interested in purchasing a Subway USB controller,
please contact Michael Boehmer. At least 30 orders are required to justify the production costs. The anticipated price for a single unit would be about 89 EUR (incl. VAT).
Update: (07.09.2004, 13:45, cg)
To use the Subway with an Amiga 600, a socalled 'A600 clockport adapter' is required. Jens Schönfeld from Individual Computers tells us that these adapters are in stock right now and ship for 9.90 EUR. (cg) (Translation: cg)

MorphOS: New version of 'ShowGirls'
'ShowGirls' is a picture viewer from Michal 'kiero' Wozniak that includes image processing functions and
combines features known from MiniShowPicture, ShowPPC and other similiar products
(Screenshot 1,
Screenshot 2).
Some of the features:
- Easy browsing of directories (with mouse and keyboard)
- Lots of supported file formats thanks to Datatypes system.
- Nice MUI GUI
- Image processing options like resizing, balance, smoothing, cropping and a lot more
- Saving of images in JPEG or PNG
- Loading/displaying images with alpha channel
- Scaling image display to fit in the window (separate control over enlarging and reducing)
- Scrolling/zooming of big images
- Drag&drop of files/directories to be displayed
- Optional bilinear filtering of the displayed image
- Notification (refreshing of list of files when new files are copied in/removed)
- Thumbnailes generator (with templates) (Example)
- 2 browser modes (names list or thumbnails)
- Thumbnails browser optimized for viewing pictures taken with digicam (very fast thumbnail creation).
Changes in this version:
Fixed:
- ShowGirls icon is used as appicon when application is iconified.
- When starting without param sometimes there were trash in string gadget.
- Region marking was inaccurate.
- Problem when viewing small images, like icons, etc.
- Levels operator. Formula was slightly broken. If somebody misses old mode then I can re-add it.
- Other smaller or bigger bugs.
New:
- Bugs (probably).
- Using NList class for list of files. Added date and filetype displaying. Sorting works on any of them, including secondary sorting criteria (press SHIFT and select second column to sort by).
- Thumbnails in directory browser. Adjustable thumb size and border. Thumbnails cache (with several compression methods and other options). "Reduced memory usage" mode. Utilizing special properties in JPEG's created with digital cameras (results in more than 10 times faster thumbnails creation!!)
- Much faster finding of next/previous picture.
- Lossless JPEG transformations (Tools/JPEG Transform). Makes it possible to rotate and flip JPEG images without decompression/compression, so without loosing quality.
- Much faster image scrolling. Scrolling is now also more precise (subpixel accuracy).
- Improved zooming control (separate control over zooming and shrinking).
- Possibility do filter out .info file and non-image files.
- Added tooltypes support (FULLSCREEN and BROWSER).
- Added BROWSER CLI param. The default window now doesn't have it enabled.
- Improved Thumbnailer module:
- Suffix different than .info can be specified.
- Suffix can now also be replaced instead of only added.
- When scaling image aspect doesn't have to be preserved.
- Zooming image in/out with mouse wheel.
- Added default values to some sliders. Try to doubleclick on knob to set to default position (in balance, levels and probably some others too).
- Added mask shape selection to median filter.
- Added "border mode" to resize operator. Works the same way as in ImageFX.
- Now it's also possible to delete directories (a bit limited though. You can't unprotect files for example).
- Improved filerequester when saving. Uses path and filename of currently loaded image, and automaticaly replaces extension to match selected save format.

Amiforce Redesign
CJ-Stroker has reworked amiforce.de from ground up. The frames are now past, the usage of the new site should now be very user friendly because of a "navigation history". Some spots need some finetuning according to the author but it is being worked on.
With the redesign new rubrics find their way onto the page, planned is among other things an OS4 project section. At latest with the existing of according hardware will a special aspect lie on the new AmigaOS.
The site is optimized for a resolution of 1024x768 and should work with every browser except Opera that causes some problems. The compatibility with Amiga browsers was important here.
For constructive critics and suggestions to improve the site is the author always eager to listen to.

New AmiBlitz distribution with numerous improvements
From now on there's a much improved AmiBlitz2 distribution available for download. Because of the many changes and their size an update archive for an earlier distribution doesn't make sense anymore. Update archives will be available with the next version.
Unfortunately, many things were missing in the last distribution so that a seamless working wasn't possible. Thanks to Marco Möring aka Blackbird without whom the bugs and incompleteness of that distribution would probably never have been noticed.
Next to Marco my thanks go to his wife Margit Möring. Together we three could translate further guides into German.
Thanks go of course to Bernd Rösch and Thilo Köhler who work without a break on the future of AmiBlitz2.
Changes:
- Much improved install/deinstall scripts.
- After the installation are all settings immediately available.
- After the deinstallation is the archive in its original condition and can be installed again in the particular version.
- New Ped.prefs for the NEWCOLORMODE. Important: works only in screenmodes with 8/16 colours.
- More German translation of AcidGuides.
- Two versions of all (English/German).
- Further includes by Thilo Köhler.
- New Usermacro.guide.
- Many errors removed.
- Contains now many missing components, e.g. MUI2.res.
AmiBlitz2 reference manual in HTML:
Thanks to Markus Rütter is the reference manual for Blitz2 now available in an HTML version.
Next to the online version on Amiforce the manual is available for download, too.
Thanks to Markus Rütter who kindly gave the permission to do so.
News about the German manual:
At the moment is a PDF version of this manual being worked on. The available Postscript version can only be opened and printed with Pagestream. The PDF version will follow soon. So everybody can now print his/her manual. Planned is for now a version for the print of pages in A4 size. These can perfectly be put into a file. Thanks go to Andreas Röhr aka trion who really helped me very much. Thanks go also to Silvio Kurze aka MangaClub who made a first conversion.

OnyxSoft: Updates for JoinSplitter and TheMPegEncGUI
The Swedish developer group OnyxSoft introduces Adam 'ChaOzer' Waldenberg who is
an Amiga and now also MorphOS developer for many years as a new member.
Additionally there are updates of the programs
JoinSplitter and
TheMPegEncGUI. Others are
supposed to follow.
TheMPegEncGUI is a graphical user interface for the following MPEG-Audio-Encoders:
- MusicIn (68k or PowerUP)
- Pegase (68k or WarpOS)
- Ncode (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
- Lame (PowerUP or WarpOS)
- BladeEnc - (68k or PowerUP)
- MP3Enc (68k)
- Ogg Vorbis
- MPEGA (68k, PowerUP or WarpOS)
In version 2.41 now the rawbyteorder-function works. Besides this a bug has been cleared
when putting back the estimated time of completion.
And here are the changes in version 1.16 of JoinSplitter which is a program that can
split or join bigger files:
- Worked around a bug in the GUI-engine which made the Splitter part crash under OS4
- Reworked the gauges a little to be more sensitive to different window border sizes
- Fixed a bug in one of the split modes if memory was running low. It would generate the wrong size for the splitted files
- Fine-tuned the conversion between kilos (1024<->1000)

Spiel: ToT - Tamar needs new land!
For the third time the popular action 'Tamar needs new land!' gets started.
Since Tamar is once again completely settled new regions have to be opened to give space to new settlers.
These opportunities are really rare and you should use these!
On September, 1st there's such an opportunity. Start with other players under the same conditions and show them that you are the one who should get the emperor's crown!
Learn about regions of Tamar that no man has entered before. Be challenged by dragons, undead and other creatures and show that you can compete with other real people.
Hint 1: Our price (250,- Euro) for the first emperor of Tamar who founded his/her empire after January, 1st 2004 can still be won and we would be pleased if you'd be the winner (rules for this can be read in the referring action in the ToT forum).
Hint 2: Enter the keyword 'Shareware' in the serial field when registering for ToT to play for free for some time. A round fee will be demanded when you are deeper into the game. Enter in the notes field that you want to start on September, 1st on new land.
Enjoy playing ToT.

Announcement: New Amiga game WizardGrounds
For some time now I'm working on a new game for the Amiga. It is called WizardGrounds and it is meant to become a small RTS game.
Now that I've assembled a first alpha I thought I should announce it. There aren't many actions right now and no end, either. It is just a beginning and is still in development (that is moving not regularly).
For now it is only tested on my A4000 and under WinUAE. I'd be pleased to get a little bit of feedback (e.g. on which systems it is running, etc).
Enjoy it!

RP-Online: Law-court dismisses suit against Grokster and Morpheus-creator
»San Francisco (rpo).
An American law-court decided that the authors of the exchange programs Grokster and Morpheus
are not responsible for the violation of the copyright done by the users.
Because the illegally exchanged films and songs have not been saved centrally on servers
of the software developer thus they are not responsible for the content of the files.
Thus the law-court dismissed a suit of the film studios and record companies.«

Error in AmiChameleon installer script
In the version of AmiChameleon released on August, 12th (we reported) is a bug in the installer script. According to a user's report the installer script aborted during the installation process. As an entry in the startup-sequence must be done the startup-sequence wasn't readable anymore after a reset.
The new script now doesn't add an entry to the startup-sequence anymore but gives the user the information that an entry has to be done and where it has do be done.
If this error occurs to other users, too, here is the solution of the problem: Before the writing to the startup-sequence a backup of this file was created called s:startup-sequence.orig. Just give it back its original name and everything should work as before.

AmiChameleon V1.35 Released
The theme installation program AmiChameleon has reached version 1.35. The following changes have been implemented:
- After Thilo Köhler reorganized the skins of his ArTKanoid, AmiChameleon was adapted. It now supports the new skins as well as the new sounds.
- It's immediately possible to have the AmiChameleon server check for certain program updates. Every time AmiChameleon starts (if this feature is activated and you're online) it checks to see if a new version is available from the server and notifies the user accordingly.
- AmiChameleon is now available in 68k and WarpOS versions.
- The localization data and installation script have been updated.
AmiChameleon v1.35 is available on the developer's homepage as a free download. (snx) (Translation: dm)

SN-EuroArchiv I: V1.6 published / DKG II-Status
SN-EuroArchiv I V1.6 is available on my homepage. You can now limit all statistics
to one year or month to show only the whole statistic of e.g. August 2004.
This limitation can be also linked with the "free choice gadget" which has been added in the
last version.
DKG II-status: I only have to finish the buying of buildings of competitors.
Then a proper test of the new routines of the real game (and not the debug version)
must be done to see if it is all right. I think during the next seven days
a new release will be published. If you want to know what features have been added in the
new version then have a look at the
status-website.

Various Software Updates by Thilo Köhler
Thilo Köhler released the following updates to his programs:
- Sample Manager 1.3 - AHI sample editor in the AudioMaster style with DSP effects
- PosTED 1.3 - Memory aid for Workbench in the style of PostIT!
- TuiTED 1.3 Alpha - Text editor with data browser and syntax highlighting for HTML, C++, AmiBlitz
- TKPlayer 1.3 - Mini-AHI-player for mp3, aiff, wav, maud, 8svx, cdda.
ideal for Def-Icons or for a filer on account of the fact that it has no extensive GUI. New: TKPlayer Lite, which doesn't open a GUI at all and therby may be utilized as a soundplayer in programs such as YAM.
- AsteroidsTR 1.2 - Asteroids clone with global Internet highscore List. New: improvements to the Internet highscore list and better compatibility with MorphOS
- ArTKanoid 2.9 - Arkanoid clone for the WB screen w 24 bit skins. New: more sound skins, bugfixes
The named software is available under the title link or on Aminet, after the next Aminet refresh. (snx) (Translation: dm)

Sourceforge Project for "clib2"
"clib2" is a C library that's used in OS4 wherever the alternative "newlib" is not. Olaf Barthel has worked on this library for two years, originally with the goal of using it for the port of Samba 2.2.5.
In the meantime a lot more has happened:
An almost complete ISO-C (1994) compatible runtime environment with fully available source code. It may be used with GCC (68k und PowerPC) or SAS/C. Whoever has problems with the StormC runtime library, for example, may have better luck with clib2 (assuming an adaptation to this compiler has been made).
Because such a big project is not without bugs after two years, Olaf would be pleased to have the support of more developers. To this end the clib2 project has been hosted on sourceforge.net for the past few weeks. (cg) (Translation: dm)

MorphOS Adaptations of MUIFind and Altabber, Devedie Update
The programs Altabber and MUIFind are now also available for MorphOS. Relating to that there have been some recent instances of bugs being eliminated that gave the current MorphOS version problems.
And so the graphic user interface of Devedie for DVD display by way of MPlayer has been updated. This may be downloaded for Pegasoshere , in the Pegasos Forum.
MUIFind is a search program taht has the option of opening the found data as well as opening the corresponding program.
Altabber works in principal like Alt+Tab key combinations under Windows. It also enables switching between programs. The way this is done involves separate handling of screens and windows, and the hotkeys are freely configurable.

The current version has been published mainly for those who like to play around with it - for bigger, serious programming projects this version is not matured enough yet, but this should change quickly.
The Free Pascal compiler for MorphOS is based on the same sources as the current FP-CVS version 1.9.5. Further information about this programming language is to obtain from http://www.freepascal.org. There is also some MorphOS specific information regarding the Free Pascal compiler.

Unlike other programs of this kind it doesn't move the windows to the front via mouse click but via keyboard hotkey - which makes the need of rearranging the windows when the wanted one is just now completely covered and not directly accessable via the mouse obsolete. Required are at least Kickstart 2.04 and the commodities.library.
