Tool: Amiga Filterium - extendable ripper and filetype tool
Andreas 'da Silva' Szabo stellt mit der nachfolgenden Meldung seinen neuen
flexiblen und erweiterbaren Datentyp-Prozessor und Ripper vor.
Short: flexible filetype processor and ripper
Uploader: silva@psi5.com
Author: silva@psi5.com (Andreas 'da Silva' Szabo)
Type: util/misc
Version: 1.1, 7/2001
Requires: - any amiga or uae
- filerequester library like asl, reqtools or arp
- optionally xfd/xpk/xad/xvs...
Distribution: NoCD
features overview:
- knows, rips, converts a total value of
about 400 game/demo scene related filetypes
(about 100 self, others by accesing librarys)
- find music, pictures, text and much more in memory,
in files like demos/intros, packed files, etc
- decrunch with XFD/XAD/XPK (all modes) recursively
- convert mods back to Protracker (like Prowizard)
- rip loaders and intros from bootloading games/demos
- monitor files or memory as bitplane/hex/asc, mark ranges
- decrypt data with eor
- use your prefered filerequester
- check for viruses with XVS
- highly configurable
- interactive and automatical processing by scriptlanguage
This introduces a _new_ standard of filetype identification and ripper
all in one. It works together with standard interfaces like shell (give
arguemts in commandline), Workbench (set tooltypes), opus, arexx
and appicon.
Highly configurable, for example: you can specify filetypespecific
savedirectorys and output filename extensions. Macros for custom
processing methods can be defined.
It can invoke external programs, example: send the outputs to multiview.
Amiga Filterium is based on plugins. Programmers can easiely extend the
power of this tool by writing more afilter-plugins. If you are
interested:
The purpose of this release is to motivate YOU to try this out and
maybe join to the developement team as author of a plugin, betatester
or other. Its totally actual and maybe there was never something else
like this. Lets get this chance! Lets make it top and standard!

Amiga Inc.: AmiWest Show Report
Amiga hat nun die Ankündigungen der AmiWest Show in Form eines Reports online:
Bill McEwen, President and CEO of Amiga Inc., made a number of exciting announcements
at the AmiWest show in Sacramento, California.
The AmiWest show is organized by the Sacramento Amiga
Computer Club and is one of the largest Amiga shows on the West Coast.
The following products were announced for release by Q4, 2001.
- AmigaOne PPC Computer
- AmigaOS 4.0 PPC Operating System
- Amiga x86 (x86 Amiga emulator)
- AmigaDE 1.0 and Series Zero Game Pack
AmigaOne PPC Computer
The AmigaOne PPC computer, being built by Eyetech
in the UK, is based on Zico specs published by Amiga Inc. Amiga Inc.'s flagship
next generation desktop continues to advance towards the first real new hardware for the
Amiga community in over 6 years. Excitement is mounting at both the Amiga office and
around the world as Amigans realize that the long wait will soon be over. All partners in
the AmigaOne and AmigaOS4.0 project have been working hard to meet deadlines as the
project moves into its final stages.
Bill also announced that the two week slip in schedule for the Eyetech AmigaOne which
had appeared in June had now been pulled back to just one week. The new Rev B boards are
functioning well, with live PCI and AGP slots and work is now focused on bringing the
board and the CPU cards together. The first week of August will see full system boards
delivered to the AmigaOS4 team for preparations to move AmigaOS4.0 from the test bed
machines.
For more details regarding the AmigaOne, see http://www.eyetech.co.uk/amigaone/ or http://www.amiga.com/products/one/.
AmigaOS 4.0 PPC Operating System
The AmigaOS 4.0 project is being managed by Amiga Inc. in partnership with both Haage-Partner (H&P) who are porting the main
portions of the new PPC OS and Hyperion
Software who are doing 3D and Mesa for the new PPC Operating System.
AmigaOS 4.0, which will only run on the Eyetech AmigaOne, is moving forward nicely.
With the help of Amiga partners such as Matay, much of the development work has used a
combination of A3/4000s, Matay Prometheus PCI bridge boards, Cyberstorm PPC Accelerators
and H&P's StormC v4.
This has allowed the project to move forwards without having to wait for an actual
AmigaOne board to become available. Consequently, the new file system and the core of the
TCP/IP stack were completed over two weeks ago. The PPC 68K emulator is being fine-tuned
and the new Amiga PCI library is being profiled against the Eyetech AmigaOne live PCI
slots. The RTG system is being enhanced, with a full PPC implementation of the extended
and most used functions, to allow for stunning 2D and 3D performance. In addition, the
Voodoo 3 drivers have been completed and the G450 drivers are under development, to be
followed by drivers for the new Matrox G550.
While the porting of the 68K elements of the AmigaOS will continue through AmigaOS4.2
and AmigaOS4.5, the first set of libraries ported to PPC will ensure that AmigaOS offers
impressive increases in stability, functionality and speed.
Once the test bed to AmigaOne migration has been completed, Amiga will provide
screenshots and benchmarks of the new system. These reports are aimed at demonstrating the
superiority of the AmigaOne and will give the community an early look at the features of
the product. In addition, Eyetech has commissioned some very impressive case designs that
will give the AmigaOne the looks to go along with its brains.
Amiga x86
Amiga was able to demonstrate a prototype of an x86 emulator for 68K for the
AmigaOS3.x series. This product, codenamed Amithlon, provides only RTG compatibility and
is being targeted at providing a first step from x86 towards the AmigaOne. Amithlon is
self-booting from CD on almost any x86 laptop or PC desktop. It is able to run most RTG
programs at speeds beyond that of a standard Amiga 060 chipset. Several developers at the
AmiWest show tried their applications on Amithlon and commented that they had never seen
such fast run times before on a 68060 Amiga computer. Amithlon is being written by Harald
Frank and Bernie Meyer.
Many Amigans who left when Commodore went bankrupt have been looking for a way to run
their favorite Amiga applications on newer hardware. The purpose of the emulator is to
allow x86 PC owners to experience the benefits of running the AmigaOS and applications
without having to make a potentially risky purchase of an entire machine.
Marketing and community will then slowly draw these people towards the superiority of an AmigaOne with a full native OS running on it,
along with the latest applications. Amithlon is not a port of the AmigaOS and there are
currently no plans to see the AmigaOS ported to x86.
More details of the Amithlon including feature lists and release dates will be
published shortly.
AmigaDE 1.0 and Series Zero Game Pack
AmigaDE 1.0 (based on Elate/Intent by Tao Group)
is being programmed by more than 30 programmers worldwide under the management of Amiga
Inc. There are over 3000 developers currently signed up to produce content for various
digital devices from cell phones, PDA’s, handhelds, and even desktop computers
running AmigaDE 1.0. Amiga also announced the first set of games that is being released
under the moniker “Series Zero” to Sharp for use on the Zaurus handheld devices.
The 5 games that are being released as part of the Series Zero Game Pack are:
Batty by Titan Computers
Boxikon by e.p.i.c. interactive gmbh
Convex by Zeoneo
Linea by Titan Computers
Solitaire by John Harris

WarpTIFF-Einführung - Neues TIFF-Bild Datatype
Oliver Roberts stellt mit der nachfolgenden Nachricht sein neues
WarpTIFF Freeware-Datatype vor. Dieses neue Datatype kann auch unter
TIFF Spezifikation 5.0 und 6.0 erstellte Bilder lesen. Das Datatype
ist optimiert auf 68k, WarpOS und natives MorphOS und natürlich sehr
schnell.
Hier die Original-Meldung:
The first release of WarpTIFF
is now available - a new freeware datatype capable of
reading 5.0 and 6.0 TIFF spec images, available in optimized 68k, WarpOS
and native MorphOS versions. Needless to say, WarpTIFF is fast - very fast
in fact :) Full feature list below.
WarpDTPrefs has
also been updated to support WarpTIFF.
- Supports 5.0 and 6.0 TIFF spec, including Packbits, Thunderscan,
CCITT (fax), Pixar, LogLuv (CIE and SGILog) and Deflate (zip)
encodings, and uncompressed files. LZW and JPEG encodings are
currently unsupported
- Image types supported include RGB (24-bit and 48-bit), palette based
and greyscale (1-bit, 4-bit, 8-bit and 16-bit)
- Supports image data organized as strips, tiles or separate components
- Highly optimized datatype dispatch engine, and fast TIFF decoder,
resulting in a very efficient, compact and quick TIFF datatype
- Asynchronous file i/o and double buffering techniques (WarpOS only),
which speeds up image decoding
- Optimized versions for 68020, 030, 040 and 060
- PowerPC support with native WarpOS and native MorphOS versions
- Alter the pen allocation precision when images are remapped to an
8-bit display
- Specific support for the OS 3.5/3.9 picture.datatype, when available
- The dithering feature of the OS 3.5/3.9 picture.datatype can be
configured to your liking (e.g. disabled for 15/16-bit displays)
- Based on libtiff 3.5.6-beta and zlib 1.1.3
As some of you will know, WarpTIFF has been in development (on and off)
for some time, but it's ready at last :) It already handles a more
comprehensive coverage of various TIFF encodings than other TIFF
datatypes, but if you should find some TIFF images that don't work
properly with WarpTIFF, then please let me know and I'll try to add
support for them. Likewise, if you need support for JPEG encoded
TIFFs, let me know.

Spiel: Earth 2140 - Deutsche Lokalisierung
Da Earth 2140 auf dem Amiga leider nur in Englisch vefügbar ist,
hat Michael Stum bei Topware um eine Lizenz zur Veröffentlichung
der deutschen .WD Datenfiles gebeten.
Der jetzige Lizenzhalter "ZuxxeZ Entertainment AG" (namentlich Dirk P.
Hassinger) hat ihm diese Lizenz erteilt. Unter dem Titellink
finden Sie nun sämtliche erforderlichen .WD-Dateien der CD.
Diese müssen einfach nur in das Verzeichnis Earth 2140 auf dem
Amiga kopiert werden, um die deutsche Lokalisierung nutzen zu können.
