CD32-Alliance news
Sharks! gets "powered by CD-32 Alliance"
CD32-Alliance will release the game "Sharks!", developed by Digital Design. More news about it can be
found in the CD32 corner.
CD32-Corner updated again
Finally we were able to update the CD32-Corner after over a month. Due to a system failure, most of
our files were deleted or couldn't be found again. But we did it, and the CD32-Corner is back with new
links and the latest news about the CD32.
Request
The team of the CD32-Alliance is looking for CD32-users willing to become active for the CD32
Alliance! Currently, we look for web designers and layouters, to rework the CD32 Corner of the
CD32 Alliance, making it more user friendly and professional looking.
We are also looking for someone to continue updates of the "CD32 Cheats Guide", and someone
to translate this guide to English.
Many many CD32 users sending in news and infos!

Server failure
As one or another might have discovered already, the following URLs are currently unavailable:
www.amiga.ac (search engine) and www.amigatools.net (my homepage). Several e-mail accounts
and websites on www.microsoft.nu and www.intermail.nu as well as several other domains located
on the same server.
Reason: The cable modem connecting the server to the net has suddenly failed Friday evening.
Sadly we have to wait for the provider maintenance to replace it, which will not happen before
Monday. Even this was almost impossible to accomplish. We have created a mirror this week,
however the IP routing is not yet active, and usually takes at least 48 hours (plus time shift
to the US, since the second DNS is running there).

Current infos on the CamX/Camouflage project
Martin Endres is still looking
for developers who want to develop audio/video/MIDI modules for
CamX/Elate. Notation editor, sample editor, Uni-SysEx/editor and so on.
As CamX has a modular concept, several (e.g. notation editors) could
be added to the CamX packet. The user could decide then which editor
he wants to use. Or he can use all at once.

Metabox AG looking for programmers
As can be seen from the subject, we - Metabox AG - are looking for programmers short- and
long-term for reinforcing our software team. We have several full-time job openings.
The location is Hildesheim, Germany. We would prefer persons that already wrote software
on the Amiga, and know the AmigaOS concepts. Of course you are free to apply even if you
don't meet these criteria, if you meet the following:
- Required:
- Sufficient knowledge of the English language, e.g. you should be able to
communicate both verbal and in writing.
- Good to very good knowledge of the C programming language. Other languages, like Java,
C++, Rexx, PERL etc. should at least been touched. You should be able to work with
makefiles and complex source trees.
- You must be a ble to work in a team, following given style guides and programming
rules, working with a preemptive multitasking OS ;-). (This only briefly touches Linux.)
- Helpful:
- The ability to read and understand documentations of electronic parts and devices
(network, CPUs, graphics and common peripherals), and convert them into functional driver
software.
- Knowledge of the AmigaOS concepts.
- Basic knowledge of the 68k assembly language. It is sufficient to read them.
- Knowledge in HTML, and XML.
- A certain resistance to stress :-)
- Working area:
- Everything ranging from ultimate "low-level" subroutines up to applications,
with personal preferences and abilities of course being taken into account.
If you are not yet scared away and looking for an interesting job, you should apply
by e-mail at the following people:
schlote@metabox.de
finkel@metabox.de
A note from the translator: Since this was posted in a German newsgroup, and Metabox
is a company located in Germany, firm knowledge of the German language
wouldn't be a bad idea either. ;-) (mb)

C64 Specialists wanted (repost)
Note from the translator: This is a repost, since I fumbled with the layout
of the original post. Sorry. (mb)
Did the C64 work its charm on you fifteen years ago just like us? Well, probably the Amiga did that...?
The Commodore is out of production. But in the eighties, it was the favourite toy of that generation.
Today, it is catching dust in the basement or is used by a few musicians as strange sound machine. But
perhaps you can help us on our search. Perhaps you know exactly the people we have to ask.
WHO WE ARE?
We are two communications designers from Wiesbaden who grew up with the old C64. We were constantly
blamed for wasting our time with that "thing", instead of doing important things. We now catch up
on this. :-)
WHAT'S THE PLAN?
We want to publish our Thesis by the end of 2000: "Commodore 64 Culture" (working title), researching
this phenomenon. We want to show the culture that grew around the C64, and still exists today: The
8-bit machine as stange sound machine, nostalgic toy, collector's item. Experimental, playful,
multimedia. The accompaining CD-ROM will contain well-known songs as well as C64 emulators for
PC and Mac. A webpage is also planned, elaborating on the multimedia part of the book and linking
to other C64 pages.
WHAT WE ARE INTERESTED IN
We are interested in the world accompaining the C64: The history, technical details, sales numbers,
press reviews, games, crackers, hackers, first office applications, copy parties, the marketing
drive of Commodore, the demo scene, today's SID-Chip fans, the self build hardware extensions,
banner printing orgies, computer "summer camps", the booming software industry of the 80ies,
waiting for datasettes, sore fingers while typing listings and what is left of that today.
WHAT DO WE WANT FROM YOU?
Of course we have to do research. We need your help with that. We are collecting opinions, details,
background information, documentation from journalists, fans and developers. From the submissions,
we will create the compendium of the C64 culture. We are looking for every detail around the "bread box":
Every contact suggestion, whom to talk to, every website we can look at. And of course your story.
HOW TO START?
If you are interested in the project, contact us. Forefront, we want to know what kind of C64 user
you have been or still are. Please describe in a few sentences what you did back then. Of course we are
curious about any kind of stories. And of course we are looking for the answers to the most important
question: Why, do you think, has the C64 been so successful, and what did it start? Afterwards, we
will contact you, and would be happy if you could answer us a couple of questions. If you know someone
who is as interested in this subject as we are, send him this e-mail. In any case, you can subscribe
to our mailing list, if you want to know about our project's progress.
DEADLINE
Submissions should be send until end of April, since our thesis has a definite deadline. Many thanks
for your attention and help.

The Millennium demo includes a full implementation of iRec, live audio streaming capabilities.
Thanks to iRec, the ProStationAudio mixing console input (RecBus) can be switched between a
local audio board or a remote audio server, accessible via Internet or a LAN. Once connected
(Miami or compatible TCP stack required), iRec lets you record live streams. During the
streaming process, ProStationAudio allows you to monitor the incoming signal and record direct-to-disk.

AHX Ripper News
Kåre Johansen recently released the absolutely
last version of his AHX-Ripper (THX-Ripper) on his homepage.
Since many of the favourite module ripper are outdated and/or no longer in development, Kåre
plans to write a new ripper (Serial Ripper). This one will offer a fuctional MUI- (perhaps ClassAct,
AmigaOS3.5) interface and support as many sound formats as possible.
Since this is impossible without support from people with the knowledge about the many sound formats,
Kåre has opened a mailing list especially for this project.
Subscribe at www.onelist.com/group/sripper/
or send an e-mail to sripper-subscribe@onelist.com.
Of course Kåre is also open for further suggestions and tips.

Hyperion to port SIN to Amiga and Linux
Hyperion has aquired the license to port "SIN" by Activision Inc. to the Amiga and Linux
platforms. "We are working on completing our Amiga port of Activisions Heretic 2", says Ben
Hermans, Manager of Hyperion. Like Heretic 2, SIN bases on IDs Quake 2, so Hyperion is optimistic
that the port can be completed by second quarter 2000. The Amiga version requires a PPC (WarpOS),
and will support Warp3D by Hyperions OpenGL implementation.

The AFD-COPYRIGHT Official Support Site had just today its
1000th visitor! This shows that there still is interest in the
"Standard Amiga FD-Software Copyright Note".
The recent visitor boom happened partly due to the fact that
so many Amiga News sites reported about the latest release.
Thanks to all news-webmasters for your support!
I collected some of the sites on the page "What's New?"
If you are interested, you can visit the AFD-Homepage at:

MorphOS status
After MorphOS got attention by small pictures on their homepage (AmigaNews reported), there is now
a small status report on the project itself:
We are currently working on rewriting as many elemental parts of the AmigaOS as possible directly in
PowerPC code. The tests of the 68k emulation have been finished already for some time, and it works
reliable with Workbench 3.1 and 3.5. CyberGraphX, the CS PPC SCSI driver, the CDrive CD-ROM file
system and other stuff has almost completely been ported natively, to achieve best possible performance
even on the current CS PPC card generation.
The ppc.library has also been completed in a full PowerPC version (means the former 68k part is native,
too), so direct compatibility to PowerUP software is ensured, and available software is working directly
without special MorphOS adjustments. For software adhering to the original PowerUP specs there
shouldn't be a problem at all.
Since everything is running directly on the PowerPC CPU, the infamous CPU context switches for 68k
AmigaOS are removed, so PowerUP software is frequently running faster. Programs with many I/O
accesses or graphics output via AmigaOS can profit from this.
We are just now testing several PowerUP software products, and will soon publish a guideline as
well as a list of successfully tested software, so PowerUP software can employed under MorphOS
without problems.
We are working on a developer release; due to several hardware defects, the release date was
sadly delayed.

Working title: "Audiomaster 2000"
Frank Fenn (Bright Light Software) writes:
We (Michael Ulbrich and myself) have taken on the sources of AudioStream, which were released
on Aminet. The goal is to create an easy-to-use, not too complex sample tool in the style of the
classic Audiomaster IV. We consciously don't implement special functions like 2D/3D spectrograms,
since they are of little use for the home user.
Some features are (or are planned):
- Loader: AIFF, WAV, MAUD, 8SVX, RAW, CDDA, MP3, MOD (converting
modules to samples) (plugin concept)
- Saver: AIFF, WAV, RAW, MP3 (plugin concept)
- Clipboard/Range: Cut, Paste, Delete, Clear, Reverse, support for HD projects
- Audio In/Out: AHI only, no native Amiga audio support (what for)
As soon as the first public version is finished, it will be offered for download on the homepage

Nobody knows precise details :-(. Sadly. To me it currently seems
to be the other way round. What I read from the last statements and
interviews with Bill McEwen and Fleecy Moss is that they want to
concentrate fully on TAO and their OS and do not plan to support the PPC.
Haage & Partner maintain silence in this matter. (ps)

Amiga 2K new exhibitors
The Amiga 2K Show in St. Louis will have many interesting exhibitors.
A new Amiga Developer System can be won on the show. Read the complete press release below:
Return-Path: bscharp@icon-stl.net
From: Bob Scharp
Subject: Amiga 2K More Vendors
Date: Tue, 29 Feb 2000 19:03:10 -0600 (CST)
Amiga 2K
Press Release
February 29, 2000
Prizes and more Exhibitors,
The fifth group of exhibitors is now listed on our web site at:
http://www.amiga-stl.com/show.html
In addition, we have started listing the door prizes on the
prize page.
You could be the winner of a new Amiga Developer System. That's
right, an Amiga Developer System. Amiga Inc. is going to donate
one of their brand new "Developer Systems" to be given away as
a door prize.
Now I know you're going to ask... "What's a Developer System"?
Well... you're just going to have to come to the show to find
out.
Or, perhaps you might win one of two rides in a REAL airline
simulator. What's that you ask? Nothing less than the same
thing all the airline pilots are trained in. That's right, a
real full blown airline simulator with an instructor to show you
the ropes on just how to get one of those huge airline jets
off the ground, and of course back on the ground. Lot's of
knobs, swithches, buttons and they all work. Not like a
computer simulator where you move some wimpy joy stick or click
the keyboard. This is the real thing. You sit in the cockpit,
you're trained to move ailerons, rudders and elevators. You'll
move the yoke and control all the radios, navigation systems etc.
You'll be shown how to do takeoffs and landings. Maybe we'll even
show you stalls, buffets, and what the arch looks like at night
from 3,000 feet as you fly your approach into St. Louis. Of course,
all this is simulated, it just doesnt' feel like it. Because an
airline simulator is known to make you feel like your in the real
thing. On top of that, Amigan-St. Louis will give you a real logbook
that you can write your flight times in.
There are lot's more being donated too. If your company wants
to donate prizes to Amiga 2K, simply email Bob Scharp at
bscharp@icon-stl.net and tell him what you are sending. Then
email a web banner and a discription of the prize to him. He
will list you as soon as he confirms your prizes.
Don't forget, it's not too late to exhibit at Amiga 2K, the largest
Amiga show in the Americas. Just fill out the handy exhibitor
form. Go to http://www.amiga-stl.com/show.html and click on the
"Exhibitor" button. Then fill it out. You'll be glad you exhibited.
WOW, Amiga 2K is going to be HUGE!
Regards,
Bob

Digital Almanac II update
The latest version of the astronomy software Digital Almanac II (Rev. 1.8.8) is now available for free to all
users from the author's homepage. An upload to Aminet was also done, so the Archive will soon be
available there soon.
Moreover, the author wants to thank all participants of the DA-PPC survey. The positive feedback of
the survey will therefore be rewarded. As soon as DCE starts production of the PPC boards, DA will
be released in a first trial version for WarpOS. The PPC part of the homepage will therefore be reworked
as soon as the port becomes an issue.

AudioLabs: iRec for AmigaOS, live streaming audio reciever
AudioLabs announces iRec (internet Recording), live streaming MPEG capabilities for AmigaOS! This cool
feature comes embedded in any new ProStationAudio version, starting with the forthcoming Millennium
edition.
iRec is fully functional (monitoring and direct-to-disk recording) in the new ProStationAudio demo to be
available for downloading the first week of March 2000. Every AmigaOS user is encouraged to take advantage
of this new free tool.
Thanks to iRec, the ProStationAudio mixing console input (RecBus) can be switched between a local audio
board or a remote audio server, accessible via Internet or a LAN.
Once connected (Miami or compatible TCP stack required), iRec lets you record live MPEG streams. During
the streaming process, ProStationAudio allows you to monitor the incoming signal and record direct-to-disk,
with on-the-fly conversion from MPEG to PCM.
iRec is compatible with a large number of web-stations broadcasting in MPEG, including ShoutCast (TM)
audio servers.
Millennium saves your preferred iRec URL's into an external text file so that you can easily edit/process your
database or share it with other ProStationAudio users.
The ProStationAudio editing application requires a 68040/16MB system to start with, and is optimized for
hi-end configurations including up to two video cards, two monitors and two CPUs.
For more information about ProStationAudio please refer to the official sites:
http://www.audiolabs.it (European server)
http://usa.audiolabs.it (US mirror)
http://www.emrl.com/prostationaudio/ (US distributor)

Amiga User meeting in Wolfenbuettel
After I received such a positive response in the amigaOS chat room about
the idea of a club independant amiga user meeting, I though I should follow
up on the idea.
The meeting will take place sometime in early summer (probably from
Saturday-Sunday on the 8th and 9th of July) here in Wolfenbuettel. At this
time I cannot make any statement about the program, since it is largly
dependant upon the amiga community itself. It is safe however to say that
barbequeing is on the adgenda. I will also try to get some "special guests"
to show up. First inquiries in this direction have proved to be very
positive.
We will try to keep the costs as low as possible. I will try to keep it
under 10,- DM per person. The costs however for lodging will most probably
have to be covered by everyone themselves. We may however be able to come
up with alternatives.
However before i can begin with planning, I need to know how many people
would like to attend.It would be great if you could send me an email if you
think you might be attending. (O.Tacke@surfway.de).
This is not a binding application, just a channel to voice your support.
AmiOlli.

Pictures of the MorphOS Team ;-)
At the very bottom of the MorphOS supportpage you can find "Bilder vom
MorphOS Team" (pictures from the MorphOS team), for example
Ralph Schmidt alias "Al Bundy" and every other character from Al Bundy's
surrounding. The question is what lesson should we get out of
this? That the MorphOs Team is a laugh? ;-).

New AmigaPlus has arrived
(German print mag)
The new release of AmigaPlus has arrived. At first to remember: The
magazine is now called AmigaPlus powered by AmigaOS. This is due to the
fact that AmigaOS, who have taken over AmigPlus, also took over the
structure of distribution of AmigaPlus. Let's put it another way: It is
labeled AmigaPlus, but it has AmigaOS inside ;-).
Highlights from issue 03/2000:
News goals of Amiga: Bill McEwen in Frankfurt
Fleecy Moss talking to Amiga Plus
The G3-Hope: met@box interview
Linus talks: An interview with Linus Torvalds
Linux distributions for the Amiga
In detail: Installing Linux on the Amiga
and much more

New HyperCOM-Driver v2.95 BETA-3 Release
The drivers in this archive are still in their beta-phase and will only

that seams to be strange or a bug immediately.
The most important changes in detail:
hyperCOMx.device:
Only internal changes since the 2.95B2.
hyperPAR.device:
Only internal changes since the 2.95B2.
vmcresource.library:
Amiga-Hardware recognition have been improved as well as the internal

Voyager 3 statusreport
Since the last update we have worked on a list of bugs and have done
some changes. Right now we are concentrating mostly on finishing
Javascript support and the improvement of the API plugins. Good news are
certainly the fact that Emmanuel Lesueur has made his Apdf PDF-Viewer
available as a V ³-Plugin.
Vflash has been rewritten in many parts and is a lot faster now than the
earlier version. M68k version are already working very well. Zapek is
working hard to finish the PPC-version.
During the next 2 weeks there will be a new Voyager-Version.
Imagedecoder and Vflash-updates might be available earlier eventually.

Amiga Forum completely reworked
We have reworked the graphics as well as the contents of our forum. Take
a look at it and get your own opinion. Questions, suggestions and new
ideas are always welcome.
The forum is, indeed, one of the subpages that already has been translated to English. In fact, it offers a German and an English
"chapter". The English one, however, has seen only a dozen posts or so.
The forum is for you; use it! State your point of view, ask your
questions, tell us what you think of our service amiga-news.de. Aside
from providing valuable (and motivating) feedback for us, the editors,
it might turn this forum from a dusty place into just the place to post
to! (And yes, I am reading the forum myself regulary!) (mb)

Screenshots of the Tao Video from the Tech Head Stories website
For you Amiga users who weren't able to check out the Java streaming video
Roger B. Wyatt put up at the Tech Head Stories site, yours truly (James Russell
here at Amiga.org and AmigaNation News) has compiled these shots so you can
get a first, agonizing glimpse of the futuristic interface that will be Amiga.
The shots look awful, but they're the same quality as the video but double the
size. One day soon we can look forward to seeing the real thing! Maybe at the
March 1 St. Louis meeting? We can but hope.
I had a look at the video. Nice stuff like transparent / color filtering windows,
and some reassuring talk with one of the Tao Group. They seem to be very serious
about Amino / Amiga, although I think a number of 100,000 to 200,000 (active)
Amiga developers is somewhat overestimated... (mb)

The Plague online - update
We have updated the "old-stuff" section of our pages. Many older programs are now available,
partially including source code. Some of these programs have never been released, and are in a
very early state of completion. Perhaps there are people out there willing to continue the work.

Hacker attack on Cyberdyne Systems
On February 13th, 2000, hackers have manipulated the Cyberdyne Systems homepage. Several files have
been deleted, the start page and the logo of Cyberdyne Systems have been replaced by modified
versions. On calling "http://WWW.CyberdyneSystems.de/" or
"http://WWW:CyberdyneSystems.de/index.html", a logo with a crossbar and the following text was
displayed: "Cyberdyne Systems has cancelled all activities. We thank all users for their support."
This is of course not true. Cyberdyne Systems has NOT canceled its activities. The projects
"HSMathLibs" and "stormamiga.lib" will be continued (details about them soon). By manipulating
the homepage, an automatic security system has been trigered which deleted all important files
(e.g. registrations) and closed all subdirectories before the hacker gained access to them. Due to
this, all affected files showed "ERROR 500 - Internal Server Error". This error message was also
shown for all domains handled by Cyberdyne Systems. In the AMIGA area, this affected the
AmigaClub Leipzig e.V. We are sorry for this problem, which was not caused by ourself. In the
future, we will check the system more frequently to avoid trouble like this.
Except for the Cyberdyne Systems homepage, everything is up and running again. We are
working on solving this problem ASAP, and process all recieved registrations. We ask for
your patience.

Video conference with Bill McEwen cancelled
The Live Interactive Video Conference with Bill McEwen attending, announced for March 1st by GAC (Gateway Amiga Club, Inc.)
has been cancelled:
Press Rlease
Amigan-St. Louis
Bill McEwen - "Live Interactive Video Conference" on March 1
February 4, 2000
Fellow Amigans,
We are happy to assist the Gateway Amiga Club, Inc. in bringing
you Mr. Bill McEwen in...
"Live" from the Gateway Amgia Club"
GAC's meeting will be Wednesday March 1, at the Ladue Horton Watkins
High School Videio Lab. It is located at 1201 South Warson Rd, in
Ladue, MO. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM, with the conference
starting at 8 PM CST.
Mr McEwen will discuss the "OS for the 21st Century" and
demonstrate some "new stuff". This is a meeting you won't want
to miss.
The interactive nature of this conference, will allow the speaker to
view his audience as they view him. Viewers can even ask questions
when their site is selected for viewing.
Amiga Clubs interested in viewing this live interactive video
conference" should go to GAC's web page at:
http://www.icon-stl.net/~amiga
and click on the "Amiga News" link. There you will find the
details of how to apply for the conferences link.
We suggest that clubs attempt to find video conferencing
equipment at their local high schools, colleges, or businesses
to keep their costs down. It is possible to rent Kinko equipment,
but costs can be higher than most clubs can afford.
Due to the video sites needing possible on-site approval, we will
need to have your request no later than February 14. Please
remember to fill out the form on the GAC website.
See you on the Big Screen,
Bob Scharp

Fusion V3.4 (68K) released
Blittersoft announce new Fusion 68K upgrade
All Fusion users (and those anxiously awaiting the pending PPC release) will
be pleased to here that we have a new upgrade to the 68K version. This release
confirms the continued commitment to the 68K Macintosh emulation, but also
provides a number of improvements and enhancements.
Fusion 68K V3.4 is the final upgrade before the release of the PowerPC
upgrade, which is nearing completion.
Changes to V3.4 (since last full release, V3.1)
- Added ICP Transfer Priority. You can now specify the priority the Mac
runs at while the drives are accessed from the Amiga side though ICP.
- Fixed OpenDevice problem with ethernet.
- Fixed ethernet query bug.
- Added TD64 support. A partition that is partially or completely above the
4G point will cause FUSION to fail to start if TD64 support is not available.
Partitions are still limited to 4G in size.
- Added support for block sizes other than 512. Up to 64K valid.
- Fixed ICP MacBinary file copy hang.
- Auto-start doesn't auto-quit if you change the ICP or cpu settings.
- Added tooltype and cli switch for specifying parameter ram file.
- Changed ethernet from software loaded to a hardware card for Open Transport
support. Cleaned up ethernet for better Amiga ethenet card support;
Ariadne card now works.
- Fixed cursor problem with old Lucas Arts games.
- Fixed problem with QD based video drivers.
- Fixed slight problem with autosense SCSI data.
- New ADB drivers with (nearly) all Mac keys mapped.
- Added tooltype support; switches from cli now have Workbench tooltype equivalents.
- Auto-start now also implies auto-quit
- Changed 060 initial settings; now starts with only SuperScalar off.
- Fixed miscellaneous problems with the interface related to the auto-iconify feature
(Tall thin windows on WB fixed).
- Fixed Timer interrupt bug that prevented QueBase from playing.
- Added support for a couple more ROMs.
- Updates to video drivers.
- Updates to RsrvCold, and RsrvWarm which is now called RsrvKick.

Quake 1.09 by Frank Wille released
The Beta-Release of Quake 1.09 supports AGA, CGX, chunkyppc.library
(Screen, Public Screen, WB Window, Double-Triple buffering, P96 PiP), Amiga
Keyboard, -mouse, - joystick, TCP/IP, Sound (audio.device) and CD-Audio
playback. It is available from Frank Wille`s webpage (title link). For a
detailed how-to please read the manual.
These is also the new version 0.7d of the ppclibemu
available. It emulates the ppc.library and PowerUP kernel under WarpOS. An own ELF-LoadSeg
patch is included, and allows many (some?) PowerUP programs to run just like on the original
environment. The programs that run don't show a significant performance penalty. Some of the
programs even run faster under ppclibemu than under Phase5`s original kernel.

AmZeiger Issue #10 online
Sorry to say that with this edition we had many problems to overcome. Due to
acute timimg problems we missed an edition and then our HTML editor jumped
ship, so that we had to do the HTML coding ourselves.
Therefore for a while only the Amigaguide edition was available. Now
edition 10 is also available online.
One other negative note... Edition 11 will be our last. For an explanation
why, please read our editorial.

Micheal Carillo has closed his "Amiga Yellow Page" due to pressure he
received from "BT Yellow Pages" concerning the similiar names. Read
more details
about it.
Depite this - or in spite of, he has begun a new project,
Amiga
Rediscovery. At Amiga Rediscovery you will find old Amiga games, demoes and
coverdisks for free download - starting with the clasic demo "Fury of the
Furries". There are also other demos such as the Christmas Lemmings demo.
For Amiga nostalgia freaks a real treasure trove.

Ragonsoft Directory Lister (RDL) for Amiga?
There is right now only a Windows version of the software available, but if RDL becomes a success, RDL
will also be made available for Amiga. The same is generally true for all our projects, e.g. BusinessHome.
However BusinessHome is currently troubled by a hard drive problem and probably has to be rewritten.
Back to RDL... :-), I will try to explain what RDL is capable of. RDL creates a list from a directory including all
subdirectories. This list is written to a text file (DIR-LIST.TXT).
Since RDL does not overwrite DIR-LIST.TXT files, but expands them, the list can be continuously extended.
So you can create an overview over 5 PCs or 100 CDs in one RDL file, e.g. for sending it to somebody.
Thanks to a filter you can create a list of .wav files or .mp3 files only. RDL was intended for personal use only,
now everyone can get it. If you are interested in a port, contact Imperator.

Warp3D 3.0 available
The changes are mostly internal, new functions in the API, and support for
a new feature of the Permedia 2 (Chroma keying). For the user, the archive
offers the possibility to use MiniGL compiled programs, like the upcoming
GLQuake. There's also a small MiniGL-compiled demo in the archive, to give
you an idea of what's to come :)
Please note that this is only the user archive, I'm currently putting
finishing touches to the developer stuff, and hopefully this will be
available this weekend (But don't kick me if it isn't :)
If you find any bugs, please let me know. It's been tested mainly with the
CGX 4 driver, and it will probably not work with Picasso96 V2 (there where
some changes in P96 V2 that prevent Warp3D from working), but it should
work with the 1.4x release.

Heise: Microsoft in court: Will the Windows sourcecode be made public?
«Bill Gates apparently agrees to make the Windows sourcecode public
if this can make an agreement in the anti-trust-proceedings against Microsoft
possible. At least the American business TV Bloomberg-TV made this claim
after an interview with the ex-Microsoft boss and current Chief Software
Architect of the software company from Redmond. The denial by Microsoft
came immediately: Microsoft spokesman Jim Cullinan rejected the
information as "not true". Gates only said that the company would do its
best to achieve an agreement with the US government.
Bloomberg, though, sticks to its report despite the denial. Bill Gates would
indeed have stated Microsoft would not make the Windows sourcecode public to compete
with other open-source-systems. According to Bloomberg, he emphasized that
the "closed" sourcecode would make Windows more reliable. But he would have
stated in reply to the question what would make a "reasonable" solution for
reaching a settlement out of court: "If we can have an agreement, we will
do our best to achieve it". After the end of the TV recording of the
interview, Gates would have replied to the direct question whether this
would include the disclosure of the Windows sourcecodes explicitely with
"yes". "If that is all that's necessary", Gates added according to Bloomberg
with a smile.»

StrICQ becomes Open Source
Douglas F. McLaughlin has decided to release the sourcecode of the current
StrICQ version under the GNU conditions. Douglas won't stop the development
of StrICQ, but will make a new version. Currently, he's planning for version 2.0
which will be called StrICQ+ and which will contain many new features.
Those interested in adding their own improvements or extensions to the
current sourcecode may do this as long as they accept the GNU Public License
conditions. Also, they should put their extensions at the author's disposal.
Douglas will program version 2.0 in C++ and not any longer in C. He cannot
start with it, though, before he finished moving into his new house. Douglas
further declares that at the beginning he intended only to write a small
ICQ client and that he has learned so much in the last two years that he's
now confidential to make with version 2.0, which will be rewritten from the
scrap up, a really good ICQ client.

First public update of the Tales of Tamar Demo
With v0.26, the first update for all owners of the AF demo version of Tales of Tamar
is available. The update is about 300 Kb large and, as future versions, can only be
downloaded from within the game, by entering the storeroom and looking for updates
represented by barrels.
A really inventive and funny copy protection for a
change :-) (ps)

ParaGlide status report
According to Village Tronic, two external layouters are now working on ParaGlide PCB and
they hope the new layout would be finished in the midst of March. The manufacturing of
the prototype will then take three more weeks. If everything is okay and with a little
bit of luck this prototype will be completely operational and in the best case they can
begin with the first deliveries at the end of April 2000; in case of errors being found,
this will be delayed for three to four weeks.

AROS
The Aros website has been changed and improved. The beginning of the page
has a News summary concerning new developments and changes. The autodocs
have been completely relocated.
Also read the press release by Steve Crietzman about the strategic
partnership between Open Amiga Foundation and AROS:
PRESS RELEASE
16 FEBRUARY 2000
Media Contact: Steve Crietzman
President and CEO
Open Amiga Foundation
Tel: +44 (0)1778 393323
OPEN AMIGA FOUNDATION AND AROS ANNOUNCE STRATEGIC RELATIONSHIP
16 February 2000 -- The Open Amiga Foundation and AROS are to
enter into a strategic relationship which they believe will be
of great benefit to their organisations, their members and the
wider Amiga community. In the words of Open Amiga president
Steve Crietzman, "our objectives are compatible, it makes sense
for us to work together."
Under the terms of the deal, the Open Amiga Foundation (formerly
known as Open Amiga/COSA), will become the organisation
responsible for public relations, marketing, business and
legal affairs of the open-source AmigaOS project.
The Open Amiga Foundation, led by Steve Crietzman, will also
oversee the creation and development of Standards Bodies, Working
Groups and Development Teams to focus on the development of modern
standards, and the production of high-quality Amiga software and
applications for an open-source Amiga OS.
The Open Amiga Foundation will also handle general promotion of
open standards, open platforms and open-source software within the
Amiga world.
It is our intention to fill the vacuum left by the disappearance
of Commodore's CATS and Developer Support programme, and the lack
of decent high-quality application software.
The Amiga Research OS project, led by Aaron Digulla, will handle
the actual development of the Amiga Operating System core. As
part of this, OAF have agreed to encourage all our developers
to register with the AROS project, and to delegate Amiga OS core
development to AROS. AROS will continue to operate independently
from Open Amiga, but our relationship nonetheless acts, as Aaron
Digulla put it, "like a symbiosis."
The Amiga Research OS (AKA "AROS") project will, in a sense, become
the Amiga Operating System development wing of the Open Amiga
Foundation, and will focus it's efforts on development of AmigaOS/
AROS, should the Amiga operating system be released as open source,
as we hope it will be (and are working extremely hard to achieve).
Open Amiga will complement this by handling the legal and business
affairs of the project, which Aaron Digulla said was "a big relief
for us here at AROS."
We believe an alliance between the leading open-source OS development
team on the Amiga platform (AROS), and the far-reaching resources of
the Open Amiga Foundation are a match made in heaven, and with our
combined resources, we have the resources and the skills to achieve
great things together.
It is our mutual goal to chart a future for the Amiga operating
system that is ambitious, radical and far-reaching, and gives the
AmigaOS a chance of real survival and growth, as an independent
OS preserving its own unique identity.
And by listening to the Amiga community on the Internet and at
trade shows, we have seen that this what many in the community
WANT. They WANT AmigaOS, not some hybrid, alternative or
"inspired by the Amiga concept" OS. They want AmigaOS, and
they want it to survive, and perhaps more importantly, to grow.
Pure and simple.
Our strategy is to give the community what they want, to address
all of these concerns, and deliver improved, portable and free
versions of the AmigaOS for a variety of next-generation CPUs
and platforms.
People will be able to choose to run AmigaOS on top of another
kernel if that is their wish (in order to benefit from Linux
driver support and such like), but they will not be forced to
do so. AmigaOS will be able to function independently. We
believe this is what a great many people in the community
wants.
Questions and queries regarding the future of AmigaOS as "open
source software" should be directed to Open Amiga, which is
acting in the capacity of an overall parent/public relations
organisation.
Developers wishing to participate, either in the development
of the OS core itself, or in working as part of a development team
to create software or applications for the Amiga, should apply
through Open Amiga Foundation, and you will be put in touch with
the appropriate people managing the projects you are interested in.
Current Working Groups include AROS, led by Aaron Digulla, and
our Streaming Media Working Group, led by Ian Parker. Other
Working Groups, Standards Bodies and Development Teams will be
created in due course.
###
Questions and Answers
QUESTION: Is this a merger between AROS and Open Amiga?
ANSWER: No. Both groups will continue to operate
independently, neither will have operational control
over the other. We are merely pooling our resources,
and dividing up roles between us.
QUESTION: How will this co-operation function in practice?
ANSWER: Both groups will work very closely together, and we
will have very clearly defined roles. We are working on the
same strategy, but we share the various roles, and we are
better at different things. (With regards to AmigaOS:
AROS is the development project, OAF is the business/
organisation.)
QUESTION: What is the likelihood that the AmigaOS will be
released as open source?
ANSWER: At this time, it is not possible to give a straight
answer to this question. We are pursueing all avenues open
to us to make it happen.
QUESTION: I thought Gateway still owned the Amiga patents?
ANSWER: They do, and we are in negotiation with Gateway
already on this matter. We are hopeful that a positive
arrangement can be reached within the next few weeks.
QUESTION: Does Amiga Corporation support what you are doing?
ANSWER: We have their unofficial backing. It is not possible
for legal reasons for them to commit to open-source, since
many legal hurdles prevent them from doing this, most notably
the issue of Gateway's patents.
However, Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko of Amiga have
both publicly stated their support for an open-source AmigaOS
in public interviews and forums.
QUESTION: If the AmigaOS is not released as open source,
what happens to AROS and Open Amiga?
ANSWER: We will continue. The source code is not a
necessity for us, but it would be a help.
The main issue for us is access to software patents and
various Amiga trademarks. Providing an adequate deal is
reached with Gateway for access to patents, and a deal
reached with Amiga for access to Amiga trademarks, we can
safely and legally develop a portable clone of Amiga OS.
The source code is unnecessary, but will help us develop
a portable clone of AmigaOS for other CPUs and platforms
in a shorter space of time.
QUESTION: Are you for or against what Amiga are doing re: Tao?
ANSWER: OAF/AROS does not take a position on other Amiga-related
projects including Amiga/Tao or Phoenix/QNX. We support the
right of Amiga users to make their own reasoned judgements
and to choose the solution that is bested suited for them.
We believe it is in the interests of the Amiga community
to be given maximum choice on the path they take, and in that
sense, we support Amiga's creation of a new alternative
option.
QUESTION: I am a developer. I would like to help. What
can I do?
ANSWER: Write to president@amigakernel.org and we will let you
know what groups are looking for more developers, and you will
be invited to join one of our active development teams.
Also bookmark http://www.openamiga.org. Our new, improved
website will be going online within the next few weeks.

Answers to Phase5`s insolvancy
Several questions were raised by Phase5 digital products' application for insolvency, which we
have sent
by Fax to the provisional administrator of insolvency procceedings, Mrs. Angelika Amend on February 10, 2000.
At first the questions we have submitted:
Many users have sent in devices (CPU boards, etc.) to Phase 5 for
repair. Some of these under terms
of guarantee, but some also liable for costs. What can those users do to
get their boards back as soon as possible (repaired or not)?
Subject: Prepaiments for preordered G3/G4 boards.
If we are informed properly, prepayments were made against the background that those payments will
be effected to an account in trust. Such a statement was made by Phase 5 in the media back then to
make sure that the customers would get back their money, if those boards
would be never released (whatever the reason). Was the money of those customers actualy effected
to an account in trust, or are those payments possibly part of the insolvency procedure?
We have heard from several sources Phase 5 would consist of two companies. One a Ltd. (associates are not
known by me) and the other one an association of common law between Wolf Dietrich and Gerald Carda.
This brings up a question, which of these companies has made the application for insolvency. Unfortuantly,
one could not find out the form of the association from the letter on which the recieved press release
was written.
How will a user come to know if the insolvency proceedings have been disclosed, so that potentially aggrieved
people are able to log on their rights?
The reply, dated 02/15/2000
Today we recieved the following answers, which we mirror here word by word:

aa/gh - phase-006 (Please, qoute allways)
Insolvency proceedings for Phase 5 digital products
Dear Mrs. Petra Struck,
in response to your writing from 02/10/2000.
At present the users only can wait and see, if insolvency proceedings will be disclosed.
Because the suspended business activities there are currently no repairs made etc.
The users should solely denounce thier pretensions with the signatory. Up to now the
signatory does not know about an account in trust.
Insolvency proceedings are pending only for the acquirements of the association of common law,
existing of Wolf Dietrich and Gerald Carda. The users are creditors of the association, so they
will be informed about the disclosure of insolvency proceedings.
Sincerely yours
Angelika Amend
Lawyer

Amiga in Internet Magazin
In issue 3/2000 of the Internet Magazin the following answer to an readers letter can be found:
"It is correct that we are overall very focused on Windows. But in the past most of the
internet-surfers went online using this operating system. Since the use of MacOS, Linux
and even Amiga and Atari has multiplied this is changing curerntly. Therefore we will pay
more attention to these OSes in the future."

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
The year continues to be interesting, in both good and not so good
ways.
We have more information from Bill McEwen, President of the new
Amiga. What he has to say is positive and well worth reading. On the
other side of the coin, another long-time Amiga company dies. Phase 5
has been often controversial and sometimes disliked by many Amigans.
Despite that, they will be missed as any lessening of the community
hurts. We've already seen too many losses.
But even while one company goes away, another may be coming back.
There is a new web site for one of my old favorites, Cinemaware.
Efforts are being made to revive this maker of most interesting games.
Cinemaware was not just an Amiga company, so it will be worth keeping
an eye on them to see how the new company develops. You can find them
at www.cinemaware.com.
Speaking of renewal, we have a report below from Bill Griffin, the
person trying to establish a paper Amiga magazine for the US. Bill
hopes to fill the void left when "Amazing Computing" died recently. We
wish him luck, and will keep an eye on his efforts for our US readers.
There's another interesting magazine effort making progress. We
understand the "UGN Times" disk magazine has begun to show up at some
Amiga dealers' locations. We don't have an official list of who has
them and when others may get them. If interested, I guess you'll just
have to keep your eyes open.
There are many other things for you to read about in this issue. We
hope you enjoy it!
Brad Webb,
Editor

Hello. You don`t have any news of the rumored 8MB Alice chip?

I'm afraid I've not heard of it. Readers, can you answer Tony's
question?
Thanks,

Dear Brad
The Amigaupdate is really the best way I can think of to get new
information about our beloved Amiga. A shame that I didn't find you
sooner.
My questions in all this talk about new platforms is:
Which computer should we actually buy. If I f. ex. buy the Amirage
from Phase5 will it be possible for me to use the virtual processor
made by Amino? And when they suddenly make a new platform too, the
Amiga community is in a way split in two? Or how do you see it all?
Or is a word like Amiga compatible the same as falling into the
PC-trap too?
Best regards,
Andreas
~~~~~~
Andreas,
Wow, what questions! In all honesty, I don't think anyone can answer
these questions yet. We need to see what the new Amiga produces, and
the new Amiga (correctly, I think) won't say anything unless there's a
real product to talk about.
If you need something now, buy whatever product looks best to you at
this time. The future is unclear enough right now, I have no idea how
all these pieces will fit together. I'd like to ensure you that the
virtual processor will work on the Amirage, but I can't. My
expectation is that it will, but there are no quarantees.
I'm hoping we can avoid a split, but the possibility exists. I think
it's unlikely, as we're too small for any group that doesn't follow
the lead of Amiga to survive for long, and I think most people realize
that at some level.
For me, I'm planning on sticking with Amiga the company as long as it
produces something close to what I as want as an Amigan. That's just
my approach, but I think it's the most sensible one for those who can
wait.
Wish I had some real answers for your questions,
Brad
======
6 Feb 2000
Brad,
Thanks for being one of the keepers of the flame, so to speak.
I have three things this message is about, two questions and one
soapbox sort of thing:
1. Question #1
Can you tell me about, point me to, give me advice on how to set up
my Linux machine to deal with Amiga-formatted floppies? I can find
info that indicates it can be done, but no instructions. I downloaded
a tarred file called amifdformat.tar.gz, but after unzipping and
tarring I get four files that I don't know what to do with, and I
suspect I need more files than this.
2. Part of the reason question #1 comes up is that even though I got
Amiga Forever and successfully hooked up to the Win98 part of my
laptop, I never could find out how to get files copied from the Amiga
to the laptop, or vice versa. Can you? I can access all the drives
without any problem.
<... intersting "soapbox thing" not included due to length ...>
Greg
~~~~~~
Greg,
First, I apologize for cutting so much interesting material from your
letter. I had to shorten it to include it. I read your thoughts about
Amiga and its need to have a customer orientation. Both Bill McEwen
and Fleecy Moss come from Gateway, and have had a good chance to learn
how not to treat customers, as well as how to do it right. I'm
expecting a much more customer oriented company from the new Amiga
than we were ever likely to get from Gateway.
While I'm a UNIX user in my other life, I'm not a Linux user so I'll
do as I often do and defer to the wisdom of our readers. I'm pretty
certain someone will have answers to both questions.
As for keeping the flame, we intend to stay at it as long as there's
even a flicker. Thanks,
Brad

Frank,
Yes, I'd agree that ANN is a good news site. It's a great place to
keep up with newsgroup postings. For general news, the other sites
might be more useful to more people.

February 4, 2000
Greetings to one and all:
A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is
only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been
some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the
fun.
In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner,
started technical training with our new development team, and had many
meetings with future technology partners
The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old
song "they ain't seen nothing yet".
On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership
with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a
technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great
rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting
the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save
you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly
great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.
In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership
announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our
announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in
isolation.
After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a
much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned
before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We
will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or
the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours,
but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty,
and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the
spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe
it.
Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for
Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a
platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to
the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy
reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has
come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.
Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing
ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look
over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the
desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us
with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms
just do not share.
Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out
with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at
heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we
have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible
pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.
We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our
first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to
pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know
the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but
about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.
This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or
downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.
Plain and simple.
If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it
is not true.
We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask
that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations
of others.
We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the
US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training
seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and
schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web
site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during
our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We
have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers,
and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as
time goes on.
There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on
some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning,
familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already
having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.
I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark
place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon.
Together, we will march into tomorrow.
Keeping the faith,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team.

Fellow Amigans,
We are happy to assist the Gateway Amiga Club, Inc. in bringing you
Mr. Bill McEwen in...
"Live" from the Gateway Amgia Club"
GAC's meeting will be Wednesday March 1, at the Ladue Horton Watkins
High School Videio Lab. It is located at 1201 South Warson Rd, in
Ladue, MO. The meeting starts at 7:30 PM, with the conference starting
at 8 PM CST.
Mr McEwen will discuss the "OS for the 21st Century" and demonstrate
some "new stuff". This is a meeting you won't want to miss.
The interactive nature of this conference, will allow the speaker to
view his audience as they view him. Viewers can even ask questions
when their site is selected for viewing.
Amiga Clubs interested in viewing this live interactive video
conference" should go to GAC's web page at:
http://www.icon-stl.net/~amiga
and click on the "Amiga News" link. There you will find the details
of how to apply for the conferences link.
We suggest that clubs attempt to find video conferencing equipment at
their local high schools, colleges, or businesses to keep their costs
down. It is possible to rent Kinko equipment, but costs can be higher
than most clubs can afford.
Due to the video sites needing possible on-site approval, we will
need to have your request no later than February 14. Please remember
to fill out the form on the GAC website.
See you on the Big Screen,
Bob Scharp

Our project is progressing at quite a clip. Less than 24 hours after
my initial request for writers, I had 24 Emails of people wanting to
submit articles, 2 who wanted to help edit, 5 people who want
subscription info and 1 who simply want to know where to "send the
check".
I have since received Email from 2 more folks wanting to submit
articles. received 2 reviews and have heard from multiple potential
subscribers. I have had contact with 1 former "Amazing..." advertiser
who is helping me in setting up advertising contacts. And I am about
to send out advertising info to all the former "Amazing..."
advertisers (at least those who advertised in the last issue of
Amazing).
Now, we are going to be holding a "Name Our Magazine" contest with
the sample issue. In this contest, new subscribers will be able to
cast their votes for the name of the magazine. We will be including 3
possible names and a space for the subscriber to make their own choice
(in case they don't like ours). The planned end date for the contest
will be at the start of the second day of the St Louis Amiga Show
(April 1-2, 2000).
We have received several requests for info on the mag, so here it is.
We plan on a 30 - 40 page (plus covers) magazine. If there are any
REALLY important items that come up, we are prepared to push the
magazine out to about 50 pages (again plus covers). For the time
being, the magazine will be all black and white (or greyscale, if you
will) and will be printed on plain (non-slick) paper. This will
include the cover as well (at least for the first few issues).
Future plans include glossy paper and color. We've had a few
suggestions about adding cover disks or CDs. We're not really certain
if this is the way to go, so you will probably see a survey asking the
subscribers about this in the future.
The magazine ( again, at least, at the start) will be by subscription
only. I will be releasing, on the net (via the newsgroups and amiga
update) when the sample issues are ready to send out. At that point,
people can Email me with their "snail-,ail" addresses and I will mail
out the sample copies (no charge). Each sample issue will include a
subscription form, a vote card for the "Name Our Magazine" contest and
a shopper's survey (to help us know who to contact for possible future
advertising).
A "sneek peak" of the sample issue shows that we will have a review
of Digital Dreams action adventure game "Wasted Dreams". We will also
have the first of a 2-part review on the Albrecht Computer Technik
"Prelude" sound card. We are currently working out the details for an
interview with Amiga Inc's Fleecy Moss. And an article by A former
Amiga who is finding his way back to Amigas.
The planned kick-of date to send out samples is about March 15
(possibly sooner with a little luck). SO STAY TUNED.

Its gonna be a heck of a century!

The Amiga West Coast show, AmiWest 2000 is shaping up!
That's right!
The AmiWest committee is proud to announce we are again hosting this
year's show in Sacramento, California, at the popular Holiday Inn,
Sacramento NorthEast, 5321 Date Avenue Sacramento, CA 95841, on
Saturday, July 29th and Sunday, July 30th, 2000. The Holiday Inn venue
proved to be such a hit for last year's show that we are again holding
it there.
Show times are Saturday 10am-5pm and Sunday 10am-4pm.
AmiWest is in it's third year and is the only all Amiga show produced
on the West Coast. The show has proved very popular for Amiga
enthusiasts in the Western United States.
With the recent purchase of the Amiga by Amino (renamed Amiga
Corporation) from Gateway, the Amiga appears to be on an upswing. The
new Amiga Corporation is headed by Bill McEwen who can be remembered
by participants at both AmiWest'98 and AmiWest'99 as a very
enthusiastic supporter of the Amiga. Also part of the Amiga team are
long time Amigans Fleecy Moss and Petro Tyschtschenko.
You can learn more about AmiWest 2000 by accessing our web page at:
http://www.sacc.org/amiwest/
If you are interested in exhibiting at AmiWest 2000, please submit
the form that is provided on our web page. We need to know early who
will be exhibiting. Booth sizes and pricing is yet to be determined;
however, by submitting the form on our web page you will receive an
exhibitor packet with all necessary forms and information when the
packet becomes available.
Special booth pricing will be available for user groups.
This weekend event will again showcase the progress that IS the Amiga
Community.

December 18, 1999
It is with great pleasure that we announce that Mr. Bill McEwen,
President and CEO of Amiga Inc., will be our guest speaker at the
Amiga 2K banquet Saturday April 1, 2000. Bill is well know to most
Amiga fans as the former "Marketing Man" of Gateway's Amiga division.
Not to be one to be left out of the best computer in town, he
arranged to buy the company from his former bosses. That has to be a
feather in his cap. To be able to tell people that you so believe in a
product, that after you leave a company, you arrange to buy it, is
just admirable. I don't think they saw it coming, or they never would
have left Bill leave.
So are we in for an interesting tale, undoubtedly. Will we hear about
his ideas, I'm sure. Will we enjoy listening to the man who loves and
owns our beloved Amiga... You Betcha!
Ticketing arrangements are as follows:
Tickets to the Amiga 2K banquet are $35. They will only be sold in
advance, until March 18, 2000.
Admission tickets are $17 for two days - in advance.
or $12 for one day - in advance.
At the door, Admission tickets are $20 for two days.
or $15 for one day.
Class tickets are only available at the ticket table, during show
hours. A schedule of classes will be posted later.
Remember... Orders for tickets must be received no later than
March 18, 2000.
Please mail your requests to:
Amigan-St. Louis
PO Box 672
Bridgeton, MO 63044
Banquet tickets are sold on a first come basis. The last two years
we sold out, so don't wait too long.

8 Feb., 2000
From: "Dirk Harlaar" <D.Harlaar@ping.de>
All users of YAM, please note: a "patch" for YAM PPC appeared on
Aminet today (or maybe yesterday). It should cure a Y2K bug in YAM 2
(even though there isn't a Y2K bug in YAM at all) as well as make YAM
use the PPC.
Do not download and install this "patch"! The install script contains
a macro virus, and YAM doesn't get patched at all!
So, to repeat, the YAM patch now on Aminet is in fact a nasty VIRUS.
Don't use it!

Jan. 3, 2000 amiga-news.de now with Amiga Link Directory (ALD)
amiga-news.de opened the new Amiga Link Directory (ALD) for the
public on 23.1.2000. The new directory`s aim is to become THE
directory for AMIGA-pages. Innovative (http://www.innovative-web.de),
a software-company based in Herzogenaurach/Germany developed the
required technology for this exciting enterprise.
Entries are sorted by categories and letters or can be found easily
via the available search-function. In order to guarantee an always
up-to-date database, entries can be changed by the "owners" of the
entry at any time via a previously defined password. For every entry,
if provided by the "owner", further information is available. This can
include, but is not limited to the postal adress as well as the
phone-number, email-adress and homepage.
The ALD will also partially (means: only entries of "owners" who want
their entries to be part of a "directory" on the Aminet-CD) be
available via the popular Aminet-CDs. For the first time there will be
a bridge between the AMIGA-online and -offline-world - and it will be
called ALD. This way communication within the AMIGA-community will
improve and companies can also reach users, that don`t have an
internet-connection yet.
Help us building the greatest online-directory for AMIGA-websites
worldwide and add your website today.

From 27 - 29 January, Amiga International, Inc. attended one of the
biggest Cable TV Shows in Calcutta, India. Just like last year, it was
another full success. This time, there were four more AMIGA booths
apart from the main one.
Monarch Video and Agani PTY from Mumbai as well as Abishek Enterprise
from Calcutta and Rajan Electronics from Delhi also had booths at this
exhibition. There were lots of visitors from neighbouring Bangladesh,
the coming market where the Amiga will gain shares of the cable TV
market.
In a TV interview, Petro Tyschtschenko explained why AMIGA is so
popular in the Indian market and what solution it means for the TV
market.
Amiga International, Inc. plans to participate in this important
event again next year.

5th february 2000
The design of the Eriol control logic has progressed steadily during
January. Entering february the first fullscale test simulation of the
control logic is about to begin. Following this a shorter period for
correcting any logic errors must be expected. After having verified
the logical correctness of the control logic it will be time for a
fullscale timing simulation of the logic. Hopefully this will prove
what I already believe - that the timing of the control logic will
hold.
However, the Eriol project has also run into some trouble, which may
delay the project. The entire Eriol control logic is to be put into an
FPGA logic chip. The size of the logic asks for an FPGA of some
logical capacity. Unfortunately the development system that I have
access to cannot cope with such big FPGA designs, as it is not a full
development system, but rather a smaller (and cheaper) version. Three
solutions exist and are under evaluation. The first is to get hold of
a full development system. This will most likely be very expensive and
I don't think I can convince the University that it has to pay up
(unfortunately). The second solution is to break the design into two
separate and smaller FPGA chips. This will give access to enough logic
space to allow an implementation. However, it will give more delay in
the hardware as signals has to pass in and out of the FPGAs, and be a
lot more expensive due to the extra FPGA. The third solution is to
find another logic device for which the University has a development
system which can handle the big design.
Currently the solution being worked on is the second. I'm now working
on logically splitting the logic into two FPGAs. Together with this a
redesign of parts of the logic will take place as to minimize the
number of signals having to go from one chip to the other.
Unfortunately this use of two FPGAs will put just about an extra £20
on the production price :( The final product price is still
undefined...
The first prototype board, first expected at the end of february,
will without doubt be delayed from the afore mentioned problems. When
the first prototype board will exist is now an open question, but the
delay should be no more than a month.
Yours sincerely
Thomas Graff Thøger,

High Performance Digital Audio Decoder
Introduction
The Storm MP3/e is an MPEG audio decoder specifically designed to
allow machines that dont have the power to play MPEG files to do so.
The unit incoroprates state of the art components and many features
not available in a unit of this price. Storm MP3/e allows a standard
Amiga 500, PC80286 or Archimedies to play MP3 files with ease. The
unit is compatible with any system fitted with a parralell printer
port and is supplied with drivers for PC and Amiga use. Archimedies
drivers will be available shortly after release if the demand is
there.
Connections
The Storm MP3/e provides three user connections. Two 3.5MM jacks
provide Audio output and a pass-thru connector for the host machines
existing audio (if fitted). The output of the storm is low level
although an optional amplifier unit will be available. Internally the
unit has two high speed expantion ports allowing for future modules
such as radio tuners and on board storage. A third internal header and
a masked lens on the top of the unit make the Storm MP3/e infra-red
ready. The unit is powered by either it's internal PP3 9V battery or a
mains supply (available seperately) The MP£ powers up and down
automatically along with the host system, the internal electronics
also support a 'suspend' mode. In this mode one standard Alkaline
battery should last for about a month. Drivers are provided that
enable Win95 to utilise this feature as if it were part of a laptop's
own system.
Software
Storm MP3/e is supplied with software for both PC and Amiga. The
Amiga software includes a low-level library, programming information,
an MP3 player and diagnostics program. PC wise both DOS and Windows
95/98 software is supplied, again drivers, diagnostics and driver
software. No drivers are available for the Archimedies but development
information is available to anyone who wants to write software.
Software is supplied on ISO 9660 format CD and two floppies, one for PC and
one for Amiga.
In Action
The prototype units are nearing completion and will be dispatched to
various developers and testers shortly. Below are a few shots of the
unit, unfortunately the quality of these pictures is rather poor and
they'll be replaced as soon as possible.

AmigaSoc UK is proud to present Aminet Hunter. Aminet Hunter is
probably the most advanced Aminet search engine on the Internet.
Designed with the same technology that many commercial websites
employ, speed, power, efficiency, and ease of use are guaranteed.
Originally scheduled for launch at World Of Amiga '99, the project
has been held back due to various other commitments we've had. We
firmly believe that you'll agree it's been worth the wait!
Try it now! It's fast, it's free, and there's nothing else like it!

Steeple Software is proud to announce the first commercial release of
PhotoFolio v2.0 in conjunction with Schatztruhe.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is a major step forward from it's predecessor version
1.2 with many new features including:
* ARexx
A fully documented ARexx port for those of you who like to automate
tasks using ARexx scripts. These scripts are made available through
pull down menus and toolbay buttons and can be pre-configured in the
settings window.
* Drag 'n' Drop proofs
Dragging and dropping of proofs is now supported (by popular
demand!). You can drag and drop:
- Between browse windows.
- Onto a path in the main window's listtree.
- Onto a Show window.
- Onto the information window.
* Workbench Icon Support
Workbench icons can be dropped:
- Onto a browse window
- Onto the listtree in the main window.
* Toolbays
Both the main and browse windows now have toolbays (optionally, of
course!) making navigating around PhotoFolio v2.0 faster and easier.
Those of you who don't like using context menus.... this is for you!
* CLI support
You can launch PhotoFolio v2.0 from a shell, passing in paths. Each
path passed in will automatically be added to the main window's
listtree and then opened into a browse window.
* Listtree Tree mode
The listtree in the main window can now be operated in the current
"flat mode" or as a proper directory tree structure in "tree mode".
* Native IFF-ILBM loading
Imageio.library has been re-written to support IFF-ILBM. This means
there is a dramatic increase in speed when loading IFF-ILBM files.
* Amiga DOS pattern matching
Selecting proofs has never been easier. Using the in-built Amiga DOS
pattern matching system, proofs can now be selected using wildcards
etc.
* Saving of images as JPegs
Images can now be converted to jpegs directly within PhotoFolio v2.0.
* Settings
The setting window has been totally re-designed and re-written making
sure your prefs file is completely compatabile with future versions of
PhotoFolio.
* Unsaved proof indication
For those of you who run without any text description below the
proofs, knowing which proofs are saved and which aren't is a problem.
Now, a red box is (optionally) drawn in the bottom right hand corner
of un-saved proofs.
* Constant size proofs
Proofs can now be displayed at a constant size, making the
distribution of proofs in the browse window even.
There has also been several minor improvements and additions, and
many bug fixes from version 1.2 making it more stable and flexible.
These new options coupled with the the existing features of
PhotoFolio make it a formidable image cataloguing system for both the
amateur and professional user alike. With continuing support,
PhotoFolio promises to be one of the most powerful image cataloguing
systems available on the Amiga platform.
PhotoFolio v2.0 is planned to be released in early to mid February.
Price has yet to be decided, however users who have paid the shareware
fee will receive a discount on the retail price.

YourName@Workben.Ch
After some Amigans had registered with us, I decided to develop the whole affair further! For the moment
not only domain suffixes AMIGATOOLS.NET and AMIGAWEB.NU but also the real cool suffix Workben.Ch is
available for free email-accounts (POP and SMTP) and free subdomain. On unlimited Webspace and
email-adresses, following subdomains will be available from tomorrow on:
microserv.org - intermail.nu - amigatools.net - amigaweb.nu - microserv.nu - workben.ch - niveau.nu -
webcamhost.nu - internetv.nu - piratensender.nu - spacemail.nu - A0L.nu - t-offline.nu
If someone has a good idea for using those names in a software, he may immediately use one of
theses names as a subdomain. If someone can convince me that he can manage to write a state-of-the-art
top-quality software and that he works on it with all his heart, I would be enclined to provide a free
Top-Level-Domain for this software. Simply send me those ideas (http://www.intermail.nu) or call our
hotline. Ok folks, if there has ever been a chance to start a really big project on the internet, this is it.
GRAB IT! With our 2500 to 3000 pageviews a day there are certainly enough posiibilities for everyone.

Die Telebörse: What about..? AMIGA
On page 154 in the magazine "Die Telebörse" edited by the Handelsblatt
there is a complete article about AMIGA. Here a few exerpts:
"No other computer has been said dead this often and yet been resurrected as the Amiga. This is not only
due to the technology but also to a committed community of fans."
"Would there be an award for the "comeback champion computer business" - Amiga would own a whole shelf
of those by itself. The trademark has survived two insolvencies, it has switched its owner four times
and nevertheless 5 billion computer have been sold until now. Chaos is the second name of this computer
which has only survived because there were always people who believed in Amiga."
Then follows the history of the Amiga until the insolvency of Commodore.
"The fate of Amiga seemed sealed but then a certain Petro Tyschtschenko stepped in. Commodores former
logistics-manager talked the german trading company Escom into taking over the dead trademark. Amiga
switched its owner in 1995 but still had a problem. The stocks had been dissolved by the official
receivers. It was end of may and Escom desperately needed computers for christmas time. Once again it
was Petro Tyschtschenko who saved the day. He found a nearly forgotten hangar in the philippines, where
parts had been hoarded. Tyschtschenko managed to talk the creditors into handing those stocks over to
him. After that, three philipinos sat out in the monsum rain sorting parts for about four months. In
september 1995 one could once again buy Amigas in germany."
Then follows one more odyssey for the Amiga.
"In the late summer of 1999 Collas left. His plans where frozen and Gateway sold the trademark Amiga to
a start-up-company, Amino-Development. Its managers want to continue the work on which Gateway gave up
and develop new hardware. One thing is clear: As long as the Amiga-community and Petro Tyschtschenko
exist, the trademark will survive."

IOM temporarly unavailable
I want to announce that the provider of the IOM Film- and Videoproduction company, the Prokscha & Prokscha

I think this should be mentionned ;-). I hope we can get the domain back online as fast as possible.

Interview with Thomas Dellert of DCE
As DCE has bought the licences for many products of Phase 5,
we have asked Thomas Dellert a couple of questions:
Interview in German
Translator: Martina Jacobs
amiga news:
Many users worry about how and if Phase5 products will still
be available. As to our knowledge DCE allready obtained a number of licences from Phase5
some time ago. How about this in detail?
Thomas Dellert:
DCE owns exclusive rights on the following Phase5 products:
- Blizzard 1240
- Blizzard 1260
- Blizzard 2040
- Blizzard 2060
- Blizzard SCSI IV Kit
- CV 64 3D
- CV PPC
- B-Vision
- Cyberstorm MK III
- Cyberstorm PPC
- Blizzard PPC
Pos. 1-6 are allready availabel again.
Cyberstorm MK III and PPC will be shipping within the 8th week of this year.
Blizzard PPC after about 7 weeks.
BVison and CV PPC about today fortnight.
Distribution will be done by Vesalia Computer.
amiga news:
These are excellent news! Will DCE take over repaire services for those products, too?
Thomas Dellert:
DCE will take over repair services for those products. So, owners of elder boards don't
have to worry about that.
amiga news:
Will the licences and the availability of Phase5 products be impaired or even endangered
by Phase5's application for insolvency?
Thomas Dellert:
We've obtained exclusive rights for these products in April 1999 allready.
We are not paying any licence fee to P5. Rather than this we obtained the licences by a single
payment. There are unobjectionable contracts. The availability of the products is secure.
amiga news:
Will there be further software updates relating phase5 products? Are you allready in contact
about this with Ralph Schmitdt?
Thomas Dellert:
A good and very important question, Petra. Yes, I had a meeting with Ralph Schmidt and Frank
Mariak two days ago. We have come to terms that in the future we will cooperate very close.
There will be a FTP server on oure homepage, where device updates will be found for download.
amiga-news.de:
Are there any plans for new developments based upon Phase5's products?
Thomas Dellert:
For sure existing hardware will be produced at first. There are a lot of preorders. Since Permedia II chips
have been announced by TI, we probable will be able to produce only a number of 1200 BVision or
CV-PPC boards. Hence we are thinking about a Permedia III board for Amiga. This might be mounted
upon the existing BVision or CV-PPC platform. Frank Mariak will develope the software for us.
With the entire amount of technical know-how of Phase5 we now have a powerful package at our disposal.
In any case there will be activities relating PPC. For the time being as a dual CPU resolution only.
amiga-news.de:
In particular: Will there be a Phase5 G4 board from DCE, and will there be pay regard to prepayments
Phase5 allready recieved relating those boards? Or will there be hardware at cheaper prices, similar
to Stefan Ossowski's Schatztruhe offering to all those Euromail harmed people AminetCDs at a price of
DM 5 or bricks?
Thomas Dellert:
Relating that I allready met with Wolf Dietrich. Indeed at this time I cannot tell, if we will
decide for a G4 project.
amiga-news.de:
Do DCE have access to hardware of Phase5' customers, which lies at Phase5's for repair at this time?
Thomas Dellert:
No, we haven't.
amiga-news.de:
Thomas, thank you very much for your informativ answers. We are pacifyed and pleased that production will
contiue, and that customers who have Phase5 products will be able to take up a competent service for
repair at DCE.
DCE

Due to the positive response I have now also made an

page is meanwhile more up-to-date than the German :) ..
I will update the latter in the next time. A current
info-snap for the product in both languages can be
retrieved via link (about 78 kB). Along with the update
there will be a complete featurelist in English by the
middle of next week. In this way, I wish all "Easyans"

From 27 - 29 January, Amiga International, Inc. attended one of the biggest Cable TV Shows in Calcutta,
India. Just like last year, it was another full success. This time, there were four more AMIGA booths
apart from the main one.

from Delhi also had booths at this exhibition. There were lots of visitors from neighbouring Bangladesh,
the coming market where the Amiga will gain shares of the cable TV market.
In a TV interview, Petro Tyschtschenko explained why AMIGA is so popular in the Indian market and what
solution it means for the TV market.
Amiga International, Inc. plans to participate in this important event again next year.

AROS: Menues are now working
The code for the menues has been inserted. Different than on the original
Amiga, tasks are handled as a task that contains all input-events as long
as the right mouse button is pressed. For this reason the menues will not
block other tasks, and are easily improved upon. If blocking menues are
still a problem then they ccan be controlled by by each program
individually by checking for RMB down/up.
In other words the AROS-Menues work better than the original Amiga OS
menues.

Hotlist
You will surely have noticed that the link to our old hotlist (in the link bar on top)
and the Quick Links from the right-hand menu have vanished. It would have been redundant,
additional work to maintain them in addition to the comprehensive
Amiga Link Directory.
If your website is not yet listed in the ALD, we would be happy if you'd take the two minutes
it takes to register. Changes to the submitted data can be commited with the password given
on first submission. So you can add a banner (100x100) later, if you haven't one handy right
now.

Executive Update (Update)
The Executive Update of February 3rd has been reworked at several points. Basically, the wording has been
redone, and the following paragraph has been added:
"We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include
introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin
the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work."
Here's a copy of the most recent version:
"February 4, 2000
Greetings to one and all:
A great deal has occurred over the last couple of weeks, and it is only going to get more interesting as we move forward. It has been some time since I spoke with you, and I wanted to share some of the fun.
In the last two weeks we have announced our new foundation partner, started technical training with our new development team, and had many meetings with future technology partners
The responses have been overwhelmingly positive and, to quote an old song "they ain't seen nothing yet".
On January 8, 2000 at CES in Las Vegas we announced our partnership with the Tao-Group as our foundation OS partner. This is not just a technical but a strategic relationship and brings with it great rewards. I have asked Fleecy to write a short document highlighting the Amiga/Tao relationship from a more technical perspective, to save you from having to put up with my telling everyone how incredibly great and fantastic it is. We want you to make your own minds up.
In the next two weeks we will make another strategic partnership announcement with regards to the new path for Amiga. As with all our announcements, look at it against the whole picture and not in isolation.
After a week long trip to Germany and the UK I have come back with a much better understanding of what we can and cannot do. As mentioned before we are not going to make promises or product announcements. We will announce to you, the community, only after the deal is signed or the product is sitting before us. This won't put a stop to rumours, but it will make them all the more obvious. Change brings uncertainty, and in an information vacuum, mischief makers like to take the spotlight. If it isn't officially sanctioned by Amiga, don't believe it.
Our job as a company is to create exciting market opportunities for Amiga developers to take advantage of, and to give Amiga users a platform they can enjoy. This requires more than just an upgrade to the existing OS. This requires, indeed demands a complete strategy reaching into all areas of the present and the future. The time has come for all of us to move forwards, owner, developer, and user.
Many of you have sent us business proposals, and product marketing ideas, and for this we thank you, and ask for your patience as we look over them. Some are providing us with valuable insight into the desires of the Amiga community as a whole, others are providing us with a good chuckle. This is the Amiga advantage that other platforms just do not share.
Over the next few months there may be some companies that come out with their own plans, or state that we do not have the community at heart as we move forwards. The reality is, they do not know what we have planned. In order to stay focused and to keep up our incredible pace, we are not sharing our plans outside of our signed partnerships.
We have to prioritise and act singlemindedly if we are to reach our first plateau in our given timescales. Once there we will be able to pause for breath. Some are not happy about this, but they do not know the full plan. Our mission is not just about restoring the Amiga, but about pushing it forwards as THE technology for tomorrow.
This means that if you hear something annoying, or frustrating, or downright nasty, and the source is not Amiga Inc, then disregard it.
Plain and simple.
If you did not hear it from us, or read it here on this web site it is not true.
We are not asking for your trust or your undying belief. We only ask that you take us on OUR words and deeds, not on the misinterpretations of others.
We will soon be starting official meetings in Europe, the UK, and the US for developers and dealers. This will include introductory training seminars for the new OS, and introductions to the retail pricing and schedules. We will also begin the process of introducing the new web site, and putting the Amiga Advisory Council to work.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your hospitality during our meetings and for your continued support as we move forwards. We have had the chance to meet with many end users, developers, dealers, and new partners, and look forwards to meeting even more of you as time goes on.
There is a great deal of activity, with a lot of first footsteps on some truly amazing paths. New partners excited, old faces returning, familiar faces reminding us of our heritage. Indeed we are already having to move into bigger facilities, such is our rate of growth.
I know it can be frustrating but after years wandering lost in a dark place, the sun is finally starting to crack a smile on the horizon. Together, we will march into tomorrow.
Keeping the faith,
Bill McEwen and the rest of the Amiga Team."
