                   again as we discuss the KOSH website) the Bobby Tool which
                   is available from http://www.cast.org/bobby checks a URL to
                   see if it conforms to certain standards. The aim of this is
                   is to increase accessibility to the web page(s) in question
                   by examining the html code to see that it includes things
                   like alternative text for images (used by speech based web
                   browsers). It was suggested that all KOSH pages should use
                   this tool. A page that passes the tests can use a "Bobby
                   Approved" link logo on the page.

                   Also suggested is that we should include a separate page on
                   the KOSH site explaining exactly what the approval logo
                   means and why we feel that it is important, etc.

Subject: KOSH Survey WG - draft user survey document

Summary of debate: The draft user survey document from the KOSH Survey WG was
                   posted to the ML (see the email from Michael Merriman,
                   repugnant@yahoo.com, 8th June, "[KOSH] KOSH User Survey
                   Draft"

                   Comments, suggestions and ideas on it were asked for from
                   the people on the General ML before the survey is made
                   publicly available.

                   The survey will be available at
                   http://www.kosh.net/survey/index.html
                   and will also be available by email from
                   survey-request@kosh.net with the word "Survey" in the
                   subject line.

                   KOSH will -not- be using mass mailing to reach people with
                   the survey - if anyone receives it via a mass email they
                   should forward it to abuse@kosh.net (complete with the
                   header) so that action may be taken.

                   A selection of comments from the General ML on the survey
                   follow:

                   BeOS should be included as a separate OS and not be grouped
                   under "other". The same applies to OS/2. MacOS could be
                   subdivided like the Amiga entries are (AmigaOS 3+ and 2 and
                   under).

                   Some may object to being asked what sex they are. Perhaps
                   "gender" is the term that should be used and the question
                   should be marked as optional?

                   the job section should recognise disabled people in some
                   way without giving wrong impressions. Also, "Homemaker" or
                   a similar category should be included.

                   How about a category to directly identify respondees that
                   have jobs that are directly computer related?

                   Could we ask if a person uses a particular OS through
                   choice, because it came with the machine, because it was
                   recommended or because they have to (at work for example)?

                   Thomas Jensen volunteers to make a Danish Translation of the
                   survey.

                   Personal information should be clearly marked as:
                   - optional
                   - completely confidential
                   - purely for identifying KOSH's audience
                   Compulsory personal information tends to put one into Lie
                   Mode.

                   The survey should -somehow- reach people that don't
                   generally use computers for whatever reason (but -not- via
                   mass e/mailing).

                   The above (and more) were taken on by the User Survey WG
                   team and are to be considered for incorporation into the
                   survey.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 One of the most interesting things we bring your way in this issue is
the announcement by Amiga of nominations for their Advisory Committee.
You can pick up a nomination form from one of several web sites, print
it out, fill it out and fax it back. Give the matter some thought if
you decide to nominate someone, but don't hesitate if you can come up
with a good candidate.
 The letter below from Jim Collas clears up some interesting comments
made by Gateway's top person Ted Waitt. We were surprised there wasn't
more talk in the Amiga community about Mr. Waitt's statements, but
apparently there was sufficient to cause the writing of this letter.
We really appreciate the attempts at communication being made by Amiga
lately, and hope the community appreciates these efforts as well (even
if, as has been pointed out on the net, the folks at Amiga seem to do
all their writing in Micro$oft Word! On a Windows based net site!
Hmmmm.)
 Despite the choice of word processor and web server, despite the fact
that the photo of him on the website makes Jim Collas look
suspiciously like "The Master", we're beginning to think we have
someone more like "The Doctor" this time. We hope so. We also hope he
occasionally uses an Amiga for some of his work ...

E-mail to the E-ditor:

30 May 1999

 Just been reading the Amiga Update which arrived a couple of days
ago.

 My primary comment concerns the new Gateway computer, "for sale in
Japan".

 That new machine, with the motherboard built into the back of the LCD
display has been available at some of the Country Stores in the USA
since early March.

 It is just a Windows box with one out of the ordinary feature ... In
the CMOS setup, there is a choice of operating system to start up at
boot time. The choices are Windows and Other.
======
Robert,
 Interesting observations - I was unaware of the "Other" designation.
Presumably that would be something like Linux.
 What interested me was the juxtaposition of the story about the
Japanese Gateway computers with the Amiga concept drawings, which were
being made available to the press. One of those drawings clearly shows
a very portable Amiga with an attached LCD display - very reminiscent
of the description of the Japanese computers. Time will tell if
there's anything in common.

 What's all this about a ZIP drive "click of death"?

 Thanks

Allan,
 I'm no expert on this, but I've heard something of a failing that
happens with some Zip drives, where the death of the drive is
preceded by a clicking sound. Could one of our readers send more
details?

Dear Brad,

 Regards the gentleman who can't find an Amiga to buy...

 Tell him to check Ebay. Find a seller with lots of positive feedback
and little or no negative feedback; those folks are as good as gold,
because they protect their feedback status fervently, feverishly, and
fretfully.

 Seriously, I've noticed A4000, 1200, 600, 500, 2000 and 3000s (not
sure what the gent is looking for).

 Keep up the good work, and there is NO excuse for not owning an
Amiga, if you want one.

Regards,

Mike
======
Mike,
 That's a very good suggestion. Another possibility is
comp.sys.amiga.marketplace if you have access to newsgroups. There's
less protection from unscrupulous sellers, but there are sometimes
notes posted about who's regarded as good and who's not.

June 8, 1999

Dear Amigans,

 Ted Waitt was recently interviewed by Guardian Online about Gateway's
plans in general. There was also a question specifically about
Gateway's plans for Amiga that Ted answered as follows: "we've had a
group of people working on leveraging the Amiga assets into an
appliance strategy for us. How well that works out, I don't know: it
will be interesting to see. There are some great assets there. It's
definitely not a computer business.'' This comment has obviously
spurred many responses from the Amiga community. I want to assure
people that this doesn't reflect a shift in our Amiga plans. We have
not changed our plans to release a next generation Amiga multimedia
computer. I have described the new multimedia computer and how it
integrates into a full "information appliance" environment in my May
letter to the community posted on our web site. Please read the May
letter, as it will help you understand Amiga's product strategy.

 Ted's comments refer to Gateway's product plans for using the Amiga
technology. Gateway's main interest in the next generation Amiga
technology is for the emerging information appliance market. Gateway's
focus on Internet connected information appliances is justifiable
given the extremely high potential of this market and it's threat to
the PC industry. Prominent Industry analysts have called information
appliances "the next Internet wave'' and "one of the most exciting
opportunities of the new millennium.'' By the year 2002, it is
forecasted that information appliance shipments will surpass PC
shipments and there will be more information appliances connected to
the Internet than PCs. If I were CEO of Gateway, this would also be
one of my primary areas of focus. But I am not CEO of Gateway. I am
CEO of Amiga and I don't want to confuse Gateway's plans with Amiga's.
There is a significant overlap in our plans but there is a difference
in focus. I have been empowered by Ted to drive Amiga as an
independent company with it's own strategy and plans. This will
eliminate a major challenge that has held Amiga back for many years.
The challenge of getting the proper attention and priority from large
corporate parent companies which are focusing on their core business.

 Regarding Amiga's strategy, I have mentioned many times that Amiga
will use the immense emerging information appliance market to build
momentum for our next generation architecture. This is why we have
come up with an architecture that integrates the power of multimedia
computing into a full home computing environment that includes
information appliances. This is a revolutionary architecture and
computing environment for the future that combines power and
simplicity. It is a powerful plan that gives Amiga a great chance of
rising again as a significant force in the industry. On my trip to
Germany and the U.K. last month, I presented details of the
architecture and plans to a small group of prominent people in the
Amiga community. I did this confidentially to get some feedback and
validation on our plans. Once people understood exactly what we were
doing, the feedback was very positive and people were excited about
the revolutionary new architecture. Personally, I am extremely excited
about sharing details of the new Amiga architecture with the community
as a whole but we are still in a very sensitive stage relative to
competition and technology partners. I know this is frustrating to the
community since you have waited so long for a next generation product.
We will continue to share as much information as possible when it is
appropriate.

 I hope this letter clarifies Ted's statements on Gateway's use of
Amiga technology. I will continue communicating as much as possible.
You can expect to see my June letter to the community in a few weeks.
I promise you that 1999 is going to be a great year for Amiga and the
Amiga community. Keep the momentum going as we come back for the
future.

Sincerely,
Jim Collas
President and CEO, Amiga

 Amiga Extravaganza Show to Take Place in Indianapolis

 There will be an Amiga computer show in the Midwest this October to
replace the one normally held at Columbus, Ohio. This in no way
precludes anyone from attending the Dayton Computerfest Amiga show
within a show. Both should be well supported.

 There will be a new Amiga show October 8-10 called Amiga Extravaganza
at Indianapolis, Indiana. It is being put on by ARCUG, the Indy Amiga
user group. It is also being supported by FWD Computing of Mexico,
Indiana.

           DELFINA PLUS - A GREATLY IMPROVED DELFINA LITE

 As companies need to always improve their products based on customer
input, complaints and suggestions, we have taken into consideration
what are the biggest flaws on Delfina Lite and how they could be
remedied without making the board much more expensive. The new Delfina
sound board design fixes the biggest problems and enhances performance
about 100 percent on some areas and over 200 percent on others. We
feel that the improvement definitely deserves a new name - Delfina
Plus.

 Delfina Lite, the popular DSP sound board for Amiga, does not have a
very high speed bus interface. Therefore the overall system may feel
slow responding, especially when running many sound outputting
programs at the same time. Slow bus speed is a result from only 8 bit
Zorro bus interface and inefficient bus handling on Delfina side. On
new design, the greatest priority object was to improve bus interface,
and we have really achieved that. New interface is real 16 bit and
much more efficient, taking less Amiga's CPU time and also less
Delfina's DSP time, while delivering minimum of 3 times the transfer
speeds of Delfina Lite. What this means is, that user can now use many
more simultaneous audio programs (AHI programs or native Delfina audio
programs) without slowing much down system's responsiveness.

 Also DSP clock rate has been risen from 40MHz to 74MHz. Faster clock
rate means that even multiple DelFX effects programs will not use up
all DSP power, and Delfina Kernel will not need to bring down the
sound codec clock rate from 48kHz, as it often does on Delfina Lite.
Delfina Plus is capable of 220 million operations per second, which of
course means nothing in simple use, but sure comes handy with multiple
sound processing with effects piped in. A graphical interface used for
sound piping will be introduced.

 In our tests the effective performance improvement has been much more
than the clock rate increase, because faster clock also makes the
codec and memory transfer tasks use up smaller portion of total DSP
load. User can view the current DSP load with the DelfLoad program.

Some advantages of Delfina Plus against other sound cards:

 o the best AHI support
 o a free PPC AHI driver licence for Delfina owners coming
 o the only soundcard supporting infinite number of virtual AHI
   devices with only one sound card
 o interpolating mix of virtual AHI devices is made with Delfina's DSP
 o AHI brings a wide range of applications to Delfina

 o transparent complex audio effects
 o DelFX effects applicable to any audio producing program's output or
   external input

 o sound piping from program to another
 o piping with CLI utilities or DelFX software
 o graphical sound module piping (not available for Delfina Lite yet)

 o low system load
 o efficient Zorro bus transfer, large audio buffers on board and the
   Delfina's digital signal processor take load off Amiga's CPU

 o programmable DSP
 o Motorola 56002 programming environment included with sample
   programs

 o DelfExp expansion
 o DelfSer serial expansion now finally available!

 Delfina Plus is targetted initially at the price range of 220 Euros
(about 230 US dollars, VAT excluded). Owners of older Delfina models
will have an offer for inexpensive upgrade.

possibly a Publisher type thing and various other things. Of course,
this whole project depends on any talented Amiga programmers out there
helping! And by help, I mean large interaction and working with the
other project members. Join

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NewTek and Nova Design Announce New Product!

8th June 1999

 NewTek and Nova Design, Inc., producers of the award winning ImageFX
and Aladdin 4D packages for the Amiga, announce Millennium - a
comprehensive upgrade package for the Amiga Video Toaster - The
Broadcast Studio in a Box.

 NewTek and Nova Design are bringing together some of the most popular
programs of the past decade as well as introducing all new material
for the Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer. Millennium is being produced in
cooperation with Nova Design, Inc., who is managing and coordinating
with other developers. Users of the Amiga Video Toaster/Flyer will see
more power and greater flexibility in the Flyer's tools. Millennium
builds on the existing set of tools in the Flyer's interface. Hundreds
of new effects and wipes have been added. All new wipes are
professionally designed. Many wipes use live-action to produce the
exciting matte wipes the Amiga VideoToaster has been famous for. You
can create your own wipes with Wipe Studio - a new addition to the
Amiga Toaster/Flyer user's toolkit. Wipe Studio allows you to create
your own effects and wipes for the Amiga Toaster/Flyer. This
easy-to-use, yet powerful standalone utility leads you through
creating your own transitions.

 There is enough new content to fill several CD-ROMs! There are new
fonts, and full color backgrounds for use in Amiga ToasterCG or Amiga
ToasterPaint.

 There are also FlyerClips of video sequences of captured or animated
scenes to use as well. A powerful suite of tools is added to the Flyer
interface, including compositing tools, rendering tools and audio
tools! Hundreds of additional ARexx commands and more content for both
Amiga Toaster and Flyer owners! The package comes with several CD-ROMs
and a full printed manual designed to be inserted into your Amiga
Toaster/Flyer manual for ease-of-use. There will also be a VHS-NTSC
videotape introduction to the Millennium package as well.

 You will need to have at least version 3.1 of the Amiga Toaster
software, but 4.2 will be required to use all of the effects, and new
software. Availability of the new package has not yet been announced,
but it is expected by later this summer. The upgrade price also has
not yet been determined.

 AmigaSoc the UK usergroup UGN representative body will be hosting a
Shareware stall at World of Amiga 1999

 Basically there are a number of reason why we are running the
shareware scheme, and none of them is to make money!

 We have been involved with the Amiga for a long time now, and we
recognise that a large part of the software available for the Amiga
is, or has been at some time, shareware.

 Software is what keeps a computer alive and with the decreasing
commercial market we realise that shareware is becoming more and more
important on the Amiga.

 Here is a list of Shareware authors who have confirmed their
participation so far and have agreed for us to sell their products for
them.

We are also in negotiation with:-

 Jean-Francois Fabre and his famous Amiga games patches/hard drive
installers.

 A large number of Amigans use shareware programs but have never
registered them. Many want to, but to be honest, find it is too much
hassle with conversion rates to change money into foreign currencies,
etc.

 We want to support the Amiga and you in any way we can. We would like
to see shareware authors being rewarded for the hard work they have
done, and we hope our scheme will encourage you to keep supporting the
Amiga.

 We don't hope to gain anything out of this free service A small fee
of maybe 50 pence extra will be charged to customers, to cover our
costs of duplicating disks, stand hire, etc),

 As an organisation we hope to keep the Amiga going, with your help we
can.

 The World of Amiga attracts thousands of Amigans annually. Don't miss
out.

 If you would like to help us to help you, then please contact Chris
Livermore of AmigaSoc at chrisl@uk.amigasoc.org for further details.

 June 10th, 1999 - Blittersoft have announced today that as a special
offer we will be giving Fusion and PCx 68K emulation packages away
free to all customers who do not own this software and are willing to
prepay for the PPC modules.

 Fusion and PCx PPC modules will be released *IF* it can be assured
that 500 pre-orders for each module are received.

 In order to make this viable, Microcode Solutions need to receive a
minimum of 500 pre-orders.

 So, if you are interested in Macintosh or PC emulation, but only wish
to own PPC versions, you can now do so without having to purchase the
68K programs as well. This will amount to an additional saving to
those supporting the PPC pre-order offer.

 This offer is strictly limited to those pledging to pre-order until
the 500 minimum quantity is reached and *only* to those who do not
already own the programs.

 If you would like full details on price and release schedules, and
the chance to make your pledge, please visit the following page on our
Web Site :

http://www.blittersoft.com/mspreorder.htm

Please register your support and make this happen!

 FACTS is the only GUI-based SNTP clock syncronisation tool available
for the Amiga. It syncronises your system time and/or battery
backed-up clock to a server across the Internet that participates in
the Network Time project (http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~ntp). NTP
attempts to keep time accurate to within 200 picoseconds. FACTS is a
client implementation of a subset of NTP called SNTP, and aims to keep
your computer clock accurate to within 20ms (previous releases - and
most other Amiga clock syncronisers - can only manage 1s accuracy!)

 If there is a problem connecting to your specified server, the new
Aninc(tm) technology allows FACTS 2.7 to try an alternative server
without needing to know the address! A fully customisable AutoDST
implementation means that you only need one program to keep your clock
accurate and adjust for summertime when off-line - and it works even
if you never reboot. FACTS keeps the TZ environmental variable
up-to-date, and also emulates SummerTimeGuard's behaviour for full
compatibility with YAM2 (http://www.yam.ch)

 FACTS can connect to any server on any port number. It supports the
sntp, time/udp, time/tcp and daytime services and works with any
AmiTCP4 compatible TCP/IP stack. It can be run in the background and
controlled via the GUI or ARexx, or simply executed from the CLI when
required. Date strings are localised, and the GUI uses GadTools for
proper system integration and efficiency.

 The program is available for free from Aminet
ftp://sunsite.org.uk/comm/tcp/facts.lha and more information can be
found on the FACTS support page at

 {The following was posted to the web. It should be very welcome to
Amigans with large hard drives. Thanks, Ben! Brad}

From Ben Hutchings:

 Back in August I bought myself a new 4.3 gigabyte hard drive to
replace the one previously used in my Amiga, which seemed to be about
to fail. It was then that I decided to do something about the poor
support for such large drives by OS 3.1. I wouldn't have started on
this if Heinz Wrobel hadn't already done the necessary work on disk
drivers and file-systems. What was missing were replacements for
Format and DiskCopy.

 I quickly wrote an incomplete CLI-only replacement for Format, tested
it out, briefly announced it and then left it unfinished.

 This was not the right thing to do. So over the past month or so I
completed all the CLI functionality, added a few extra neat features
by request, made sure it worked in just the same way as Format version
40, and added a font-sensitive GUI. In the last 3 days I spotted and
fixed 6 minor bugs (nothing dangerous). Nothing much seems to be wrong
with it now - except that there are a few parts missing and it isn't
localised.

 If you have a large disk, or just want a nicer looking Format
program, perhaps you'd like to try it out and tell me whether it works
properly for you? The programmers here might also be able to help me
fill in the gaps. (Full source code is included.)

 You can find it on Aminet as util/sys/BHFormat.lha. You may have to
wait a day or so for the current version (43.4) to appear - check the
version in the readme file.

 Taller than the tallest building, faster than the fastest plane, it's
not just a rumour, it's...

                (may the power of two be with you)

 Since Easter we have been SWAMPED, not merely swamped but bigtime
SWAMPED, with enquiries about iBrowse 2. Yup, OK, it's our own fault,
some Bright Spark (who shall remain nameless but answers to the word
"boss") insisted on emailing our ever so slightly massive iBrowse
announcements list just before Easter with the news that iBrowse 2 was
imminent.

 Ahem. Not to put too fine a point on it, but this wasn't entirely
true. Notwithstanding the fact that Stefan (the author) put the entire
project on hold while he stood in line for a week to see the first
midnight showing of Star Wars Episode 1, iBrowse 2 is currently still
in beta test (build version 20.22 if anyone is interested).

 And there is a lot to test (take a big breath): full JavaScript 1.2
implementation, HTML 4 support, improved GUI, improved preferences,
the cache system has been rewritten (it's now even faster and even
easier to use), the table parser has been rewritten (it's now lots
faster), spoofing has been implemented, there's external news client
support, an improved URL completer, multiple browsers can be opened in
one window (controlled by a nifty tab system) plus, of course, plug-in
support. And those are just the highlights!

 Testing is going well and iBrowse 2 is very, very close to being
released. We know you are going to love it and as soon as we've ironed
out the few remaining glitches we'll be mailing everyone on the
iBrowse announcements list with a special pre-release upgrade deal -
if you're not already on the list, you can sign-up to it on the FAQ
page.

           How bad do you want PowerPC versions of PCx and FUSION?

 Microcode Solutions has had hundreds of emails over the last year
asking about PowerPC native versions of PCx and FUSION. Because the
Amiga market is getting smaller every day, we have had to look at
other markets (the PC market specifically). We are very fond of the
Amiga, and its superior operation system, but unfortunately we must
run a business.

 After careful consideration, we have decided to put the decision, to
you the customer, as to whether we finish PowerPC native versions of
PCx and FUSION.

 What we propose is to accept pre-payment for each product, at a
reduced rate from the normal retail price. We would need 500
pre-orders for each product before we would commit ourselves to
finishing each product. This must be a two stage process, with the
first stage a simple email stating that you would be willing to
pre-pay for the product. Once 500 people have emailed us from the 1st
stage, we would then begin accepting payments (check, VISA, and M/C).
From the time that we begin accepting payments for each product, to
the time of completion will be 60 days. If after 60 days, Microcode
Solutions is not able to begin shipping, customers may request a full
refund or wait until the product is released.

 The retail price for the PowerPC upgrade modules is $199.95 for each
module (PCx and FUSION). If you pre-pay for either product, you will
be charge only $149.95.

 If there are not enough pre-paid orders for either product, we will
not finish that product.

 So, let's begin stage 1:

 If you are willing to pre-pay $149.95 + $5.00 shipping for the PCx
PowerPC upgrade module, click here.

 If you are willing to pre-pay $149.95 + $5.00 shipping for the FUSION
PowerPC upgrade module, click here.

DO NOT ALTER THE SUBJECT LINE OF THE EMAIL MESSAGE!

QUESTIONS ASKED USING THIS EMAIL WILL NOT BE ANSWERED!

 We will be keeping a running total, to let you know just how close we
all are to these exciting upgrades!

 Current number of people willing to pre-pay for the PCx upgrade: 145

 Current number of people willing to pre-pay for the FUSION upgrade:
126

 UKIAH, Calif. - May 11, 1999 - REBOL (pronounced "REB-ul"), the first
in a new breed of Internet messaging languages, today revolutionized
the exchange and interpretation of network-based information by
allowing programs authored in REBOL/core 2.0 to run on more than 15
popular computing platforms without modification. The new version,
released today by REBOL Technologies, extends the language's platform
and operating system independence and is available for free download
at www.rebol.com.

 Carl Sassenrath, CEO and founder of REBOL Technologies and creator of
the Amiga multitasking operating system, said, "With this release,
REBOL Technologies continues its mission to simplify computing in the
Internet age. REBOL is a messaging language built from the ground up
to enable easier global network communication between applications,
computers and people. Seasoned programmers, systems and network
professionals -- even novice developers -- can quickly put REBOL to
use on a daily basis as a powerful, flexible tool for a broad range of
practical applications."

 Rebol/core 2.0 Packs a Robust Set of Features

 REBOL/core 2.0 is designed to be faster, more reliable, more compact,
and more consistent than the prior version. It's less than one half
the size of version 1.0, has twice as many features, and operates 35
times faster on average. Other REBOL/core 2.0 benefits include:

 o Full platform independence so that programs built once can run
without modification on most of the popular systems, including BeOS,
FreeBSD, Linux, Macintosh, Amiga, SPARC, Windows 95/98/NT, and others;

 o Server-level power delivered to the hands of ordinary users thanks
to built-in network support for common Internet protocols such as CGI,
HTTP, FTP, SMTP, POP3, NNTP, daytime, and finger;

 o A natural set of language features supporting domain-specific
dialecting as well as more complete integration of data and functions
easily understood by humans (such as money, dates, time, email
addresses, URLs, etc.);

 o A common lexicon independent of any particular country introducing
a new, simple, international method of distributed computing.

 REBOL has very little syntax to learn; meaning that novice users can
learn its fundamentals through a short 10-step introduction and become
productive within hours. REBOL stores and transfers all of its data as
text, allowing it to be sent and received over email, and viewed and
edited with a simple text editor. Understanding of networking
technology or software structure is not required, making the language
especially attractive for the new and growing market of independent
and corporate Web developers that have entered the industry from
design, publishing, and other non-computer backgrounds. For seasoned
professionals, REBOL offers a smooth learning curve for the
performance of complex, sophisticated tasks such as distributed object
management or invention of new network protocols.

 REBOL Finds Early Acceptance in Developer Community

 According to Elan Goldman of Microworks LLC and a 2.0 beta tester,
"The combination of the new parse function together with the new
built-in CGI support really flies. I was able to convert the long
string returned from an HTTP server into a simple REBOL list, which,
with two lines of code, selected and validated the credit card data.
With just a few more lines, I automatically generated either a
personalized thank you message, or one informing the customer of the
credit card entry error. Now that's a productivity boost!"

 REBOL Technologies encourages the open exchange of REBOL-based
content over its web site by supporting archives, directories, and
warehouses of scripts. Technical support by email and an active
mailing list are also available for the REBOL/core user community.
Since REBOL's first general release six months ago, the messaging
language has attracted nearly 40,000 downloads at www.rebol.com. The
company not only continues to distribute REBOL/core free of charge,
but will also offer a supported version, REBOL/Alliance 2.0 later this
Spring. It will include advanced CGI, LDAP support, calling of
external applications, browser plug-in and ODBC.

About REBOL Technologies

 REBOL Technologies was incorporated by AmigaOS creator Carl
Sassenrath in March 1998. Based in Ukiah, Calif., the company
develops, markets, licenses and supports the REBOL network messaging
language.

 REBOL challenges the common belief that software and development
languages must be complex in order to be productive. Unlike
alternative programming and scripting languages, REBOL is
human-centric rather than computer-centric. By harnessing the powerful
capabilities of human-language expression inherent in
context-sensitive languages, REBOL breaks through the barriers of
computing complexity. The result: REBOL cuts application solution
lengths from thousands of lines of code to hundreds. It improves
productivity because it is easy-to-learn, easy-to-customize, elegant,
and robust. Typical REBOL applications might be email processing, web
page management, Internet searching, file transfer, or newsgroup
processing.

Posted to the net by Andrija Antonijevic

 Here's the message I wrote to HTTPResume users whose e-mail addresses
I know:

 You received this message because you expressed interest in
HTTPResume. If you don't want to receive these announce messages in
the future, please tell me.

 HTTPResume v1.6a appeared on Aminet. It was *not* released by me and
it's *not* official HTTPResume release. The latest official release is
still v1.6, dated 24-Apr-99 01:22:40 and its size is 107036 bytes.
Official archive is 110318, .readme 2109 bytes long. Checking on
http://www.bigfoot.com/~TheAntony/HTTPResume/ is the only way to be
sure that the new version is out. It will always have information on
latest HTTPResume releases and latest HTTPResume archive on local
server.

 I have no connection to v1.6a and can't say whether it has backdoors
or anything malicious inside it (I doubt it, though). I have uploaded
the official v1.6 archive to Aminet today. If you haven't downloaded
"v1.6a", you have no reason to download any comm/www/HTTPResume.lha
archive from Aminet for a while since next version (v1.7) won't be
released in near future. If you are unsure which version you have,
download the official archive from HTTPResume page mentioned above.

 If you have installed this "new" version, please replace it with the
official one. Thank you.

----

 The story goes like this: Tonight I received an e-mail message:

From: "xxx"  Name and address removed to protect the guilty.
Subject: HTTP Resume
Date: 15 May 1999 10:59:59 GMT

Hello,

 Just to tell you that I find it very childish of you to include
propaganda against the war in an Amiga program.

 If removed the line of text and replaced it with what it should be,
and will release this on Aminet within 36 hours as version v1.6a you
can stop me by releasing your own version with the message string
REMOVED

 It's your choice

That's it, l8er alligator !
[SNIP signature]

----

 [The propaganda mentioned is string "Stop NATO bombs!" in title bar
of HTTPResume's main window. Any discussion about this to e-mail,
please.]

 I looked at Aminet recent list and found out that HTTPResume v1.6a
was there (so much about 36 hours). The guy that uploaded it also
decided that he can speak in my name and wrote version history for
"v1.6a" making it look like I wrote (the word he likes to use,
"childish", comes to mind). The rest can be read in message above. The
scary thought is that anyone can replace anything on Aminet with no
problems, and there's nothing that can be done about that. It seems
that PGP signing is the only solution...

Diese Viruswarnung könnte für die von Interesse sein,
die eine PC/MacEmu nutzen.
---------------------------------------------------------------
Viruswarnung: Mischung aus CIH&Melissa-Virus aufgetaucht
---------------------------------------------------------------
Dem Viruserfinder ist es gelungen einen Virus zu basteln, der
sich wie Melissa drastisch per eMail vermehrt und solch einen
Schaden anrichtet, wie es der CIH-Virus getan hat.

Der Virus mit dem Namen "Worm.Explore.Zip" verbreitet sich,
indem er sich selbst an eMail-Adressen des Adressbuches und an
die Absender, von denen bereits eine eMail empfangen hat,
verschickt.

Er benötigt dazu eMail-Programme, die auf Messaging
Application Programming Interface (MAPI) beruhen, wie z.b.
Microsoft Outlook, Outlook Express, Exchange, Netscape Mail.

In der eMail steht folgendes: "I received your email and I
shall send you a reply ASAP. Till then, take a look at the
attached zipped docs." Der Betreff der eMail ändert sich
laufend.

Die Datei (zipped_files.exe) ist 210,432 bytes groß. Das
Icon der Datei sieht aus, wie das Icon des WinZip Self-Extractors.
Beim öffnen der Datei wird folgende Fehlermeldung
vorgetäuscht: "Cannot open file: it does not appear
to be a valid archive. If this file is part of a ZIP format
backup set, insert the last disk of the backup set and try again.
Please press F1 for help."

Jetzt durchsucht er Ihre Festplatte nach Dateien mit den Endungen:
.c, .cpp, .h, .asm, .doc, .xls, or .ppt. Er löscht dann den
Inhalt der Dateien, so das die Dateien dann 0 byte groß sind.
Der Virus kopiert sich dann in das Systemverzeichnis von Windows
unter dem Namen Explore.exe und verändert bei Windows 95
die Datei WIN.INI und bei Windows NT einen Eintrag in der
Regestrierung, so daß das Programm jedes Mal ausgeführt
wird, wenn der Rechner startet.

Um den Virus loszuwerden, muß folgendes unternommen werden:

Windows 9x:

Starten Sie ihren Rechner im MS-DOS Modus
Geben Sie ein: edit C:\Windows\Win.ini löschen Sie fogenden
Eintrag: run=c:\windows\system\explore.exe
Danach können Sie die Datei C:\Windows\System\explore.exe
löschen.

Windows NT:

Im Task Manager ist der Virus unter dem Namen "explore" zu
erkennen. Starten Sie regedit, indem Sie regedit bei Start,
Ausführen, eintragen. Löschen Sie aus dem Ordner
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows
NT\CurrentVersion\Windows] folgenden Schlüssel
"run"="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\Explore.exe"
Starten Sie Windows NT neu und löschen Sie die Explore.exe
im Windows-System32 Verzeichnis.

Bei Symantec (www.symantec.de) gibt es schon passende
Virus-updates, die man sich auf jedenfall installieren sollte.

Moin Hackergemeinde,

nachdem es lange viel zu still um das Camp geworden ist, geht es jetzt
richtig los. Nach langer Verzögerung sind nun die FAQ  und aktualisierte
Projektbeschreibungen online.

     http://www.ccc.de/camp/faq.html
     http://www.ccc.de/camp/projects.html

Außerdem kann man sich ab sofort für Camp registrieren lassen, damit man
seinen Ticket auch sicher bekommt. Als Dankeschön für die Vorbezahlung
des Tickets gewähren wir dabei auch einen Nachlaß um DEM 20,00, so daß
der Eintritt für normale Teilnehmer nur noch DM 130 beträgt. Wir wollen
damit auch den Leuten mit etwas weniger Knete im Portemonnaie
entgegenkommen.

     http://www.ccc.de/camp/register.html

Anfahrtsbeschreibung sowie Informationen für unsere Freunde von der
Presse folgen in Kürze.

Wer am Camp teilnehmen will und auch alle anderen weiteren Informationen
zur Veranstaltungen nicht verpassen will, sollte

     http://www.ccc.de/camp/update.html

in seine Bookmarks aufnehmen oder sich gleich auf der Camp-Announce
Mailingliste einschreiben. Dort wird jedes Update und vor allem die stets
aktuelel FAQ gepostet.

     mailto:camp-announce-subscribe@lists.ccc.de


Alle Informationen auf der Web Site und dem FAQ sind in englisch, da das
Camp eine internationale Veranstaltung ist und wir derzeit den Aufwand
für eine bilinguale Information nicht leisten konnten. Wer Probleme mit
der englischen Ansprache hat oder auch nur noch weiter - in der FAQ nicht
berücksichtigte - Fragen hat, sollte sich an die Camp Crew wenden:

     mailto:crew@camp.ccc.de

Wer Zewit und Lust hat, sich beim Camp als Freiwilliger der Crew
anzuschließen und beim Aufbau des Netzwerks und des Camps mitzuhelfen,
melde sich ebenfalls bei der Crew.

Viel Spaß am Gerät
Das Chaos

KOSH [Kommunity Orientated Software Hardware]

Weekly Summary

Week Commencing: 29th May 1999

Number: 023

Mailing List: kosh-general

In the mailing list this week, the following items were discussed. Please do
not email the scribe regarding any of these topics, it is not his job to answer
these questions but merely to report  the topics of conversation. If you have
any queries about this summary, please email ben@kosh.net, stating the Summary
Number, and Mailing List Name, and he will try to answer your queries.


Before I start this summary it is probably worth noting that despite the
shorter length of summaries of the General List these days it does not mean
that KOSH is disappearing. A lot of traffic on particular issues has moved to
other KOSH lists and the KOSH Working Groups are doing exactly that...working.

Send an email to majordomo@kosh.net for further information with "lists"
(without the quotes) in the message body for a list of KOSH Mailing Lists.
Additionally "info <list>" (again ignore the "" and put the name of the list in
between the <>) provides information about any particular list. Note commands
like this -must- be in the message body and -not- on the subject line.

a)

Subject: KOSH openness

Summary of debate: It was expressed that KOSH should not develop behind closed
                   doors. We should always be honest with people about what
                   KOSH can and cannot do.


b)

Subject: KOSH URL code

Summary of debate: HTML code can often be rather unwieldy containing large
                   amounts of blank space or alternatively be stuck so tightly
                   together with no white space that it is difficult to read
                   (but noting that there are many many fine web sites out with
                   well thought out cod).

                   This was mentioned with the apparent implication being that
                   all code on KOSH web sites should be well structured and
                   easily readable (as should the actual sites themselves).
                   Scribe's note: Please note that I am not for a second
                   suggesting that the current KOSH web sites fall below these
                   standards!


c)

Subject: Mick Tinker and KOSH

Summary of debate: It was expressed (and agreed by others) that we would like
                   to get Mick Tinker, the person who is designing the Boxer
                   (Amiga Clone) involved in the KOSH project as his philosophy
                   and technical skills would be great to add to the list of
                   talent in the KOSH repetoire.


d)

Subject: Larry Wall in Linux Journal

Summary of debate: There is an interview with Larry Wall, the creator of Perl
                   on http://www.linuxjournal.com/issue61/3394.html which is an
                   entertaining read of how Perl developed and where it is
                   going etc.


e)

Subject: Embedded KOSH

Summary of debate: KOSH could look at getting into the embedded application
                   market, a bit like Motorola do with there chips. Often the
                   badge of Motorola is not seen on the product but the company
                   still makes profits from sales. This addition to the way
                   KOSH is used could help make extra money for the Project.


f)

Subject: Amiga on a card

Summary of debate: See http://www.siamese.co.uk as Siamese are developing the
                   software that will interface an Amiga on a PCI card to
                   Windows and Linux. Access Innovations,
                   http://access.amiga.tm are producing the hardware (the
                   InsideOut).

Hello,

Millenium Surprise

Sometimes, when you're not drunk, or caught in the mundane banality of your
everyday life you start to think about the world around you, don't you mate?
During these times, a dark shadow tends to hang over a lot of things you
think about, doesn't it old friend?
A person of your intelligence often realizes how sick and perverted society
can be in these twilight days.
You see that everytime you switch on the telly, let's face it!

What if there was a revolution waiting to appear on the surface of
post-modern society?

What if you could be a part of that revolution?

Would you have the guts to pay the price?

When the going gets rough, are you tough enough to get going?

Summer 2000 you shall have the opportunity to prove yourself.

Think once, think real hard, and then decide to become a part of this
revolution.

An action packed game awaits those brave enough to match their tactical
and logistical abilities against those of the evil Big Brother watching.

Based on a film script (hopefully soon to be produced by a smart media
professional)

Technical Features:
- 3D isometric game engine (with a few juicy extras)
- Detailed Manga/Anime graphics
- Broadcast quality fmv cut scenes
- highly competitive single player mode due to extremely sophisticated AI
- Multiplayer over LAN and Internet


Target Platforms:
multiple - PC & NGAmiga (definitely),
               others (yet to be decided)

A website dedicated to the project will be up and running by mid July.


Best Regards

Stuart Walker

a)

Subject: Succeeding with KOSH

Summary of debate: Following an article on an URL about installing and using
                   Windows 2000 beta the following pointers to help KOSH
                   succeed were noted:

                   1) KOSH must be simple to install and work first time,

                   2) It should not be necessary to reboot the machine
                   constantly during installation for KOSH to work,

                   3) If KOSH Beta states that it supports a certain piece of
                   hardware then when installed in should actually do so,

                   4) It should not take days to set the system up
                   satisfactorily... and it should not be possible to kill the
                   system with one simple action - if something drastic did
                   happen there should be an "undo" feature (perhaps coded
                   somehow to undo a crash),

                   5) KOSH should not gobble large amounts of memory for no
                   apparent reason,

                   Despite this it looks like Windows 2000 may have some good
                   ideas that could form the basis for a few features in KOSH.


b)

Subject: Why would someone use KOSH?

Summary of debate: Why did so many people jump to Linux instead of BSD? Why
                   would someone want to use KOSH? - Perhaps because there's
                   not a freely available Be type of system available yet? It
                   may well be a case of looking at the advantages KOSH would
                   offer over other solutions.

                   The OS is pretty much immaterial to most casual computer
                   purchasers - we either have to offer complete solutions with
                   with tempting hardware or software applications that can
                   rival popular platforms, or perhaps raise the awareness of
                   what the OS is and how it defines the base level of
                   performance for a given system. Demonstrating KOSH and
                   various other OSses at a show could be one way to achieve
                   this.


c)

Subject: Phase-state Low Electron-number Drive Memory

Summary of debate: The above (PLEDM RAM) is being investigated by the
                   Hitachi-Cambridge Laboratory as a new storage mechanism
                   which is basically a non-volatile memory chip with two to
                   one thousand times the capacity or regular, volatile memory.
                   (New Scientist, UK)
                   KOSH should be more suited than any other "OSH" to adapt
                   elegantly to any such future technology.


d)

Subject: 3D spreadsheet (and other data) manipulation

Summary of debate: Suggested that KOSH has some inbuilt way to easily and
                   fluidly manipulate 3d data sets (x,y,z)


e)

Subject: KOSH Computing Noticeboard

Summary of debate: It was suggested that the KOSH website could host a general
                   computing help section for KOSHans. Greg as current site
                   admin of the KOSH mirror site agreed with this if someone
                   else would like to help maintain such a section.

                   Such a section on the URL could promote KOSH and act as an
                   introduction to the project. Questions to the noticeboard
                   would not necessarily have to be about KOSH - things
                   discussed about other systems would possibly give us ideas
                   for KOSH (things to do and not to do).

                   If such a section could be dynamic with feedback it would be
                   even more productive. When the site goes back to
                   http://www.kosh.net it could all be automated with scripts.
                   At the moment it would have to be done by hand which would
                   take a lot of effort - and understandably a number of people
                   should be involved in setting it up and running it in this
                   case.

Editor's Thoughts and Introduction:
 May has been an interesting month. There was little news at the
beginning, so little that it wasn't until the 19th that we sent out
our first issue. Then, there was so much all at once that a few things
had to be held till this issue. Ah well, you can't plan when news will
appear.

Amiga Concepts and Japan
 Recently, Amiga has begun releasing concept drawings for the next
generation machine. There will be many available in the press and
probably on the net starting next week. We hope you get a chance to
see some of those not now available. When you look at them, keep in
mind some information recently noted in an article by by Brooke
Crothers, Staff Writer for CNET News.com. In this article Mr. Crothers
discusses some new Gateway computers released recently in Japan.
Here's a quote from the article:
 "Gateway is now selling a computer in Japan which packs all the
computer's electronics, including a DVD-ROM drive and 4GB hard drive,
into the back of a liquid crystal display (LCD)."
 These machines have a very small "footprint", vitally important in
the Japanese business environment where space is at a real premium,
even desk space. However, this would be a very practical and forward
looking design for the American market also. There are other
interesting innovations in these new machines as well. Mr Crothers
goes on to say:
 "Gateway, in its current system, also integrates into the 15-inch LCD
a high-speed graphics chip from ATI Technologies, a 400-MHz Advanced
Micro Devices K6-2 processor, a networking chip, a modem, and a chip
for playing back DVD video. The LCD uses active-matrix technology.
This whole system sells for about 250,000 yen, which is less than
$2,500."
 Can't help but wonder if there aren't a few hints about the new Amiga
here.

E-mail to the E-ditor:

25 May 1999

 Well, I've been looking for Amiga Update for at least a month. I
always used to read Amiga Update at
"http://www.globaldialog.com/AdventureCentral/AU/index.html", and then
suddenly one day that address didn't work anymore. I was instead taken
to "http://www.gdinet.com/missing.html", which gave me an option to
check a "Table of Contents, or "Search GDI", whatever that is. Neither
option turned up Amiga Update. Every page of Amiga links that I
visited, plus Alta Vista and Hotbot, and I think Yahoo, gave me only
the old address.

Finally, today I found the new address listed at
"http://www.cucug.org/amimagazines.html".

 Next time you move, may I suggest that you: (1) post big, giant
notices in Amiga Update for at least a month or two ahead of time (not
a tiny notice in the copyright statement at the bottom of one issue),
(2) Notify all the major Amiga pages that link to you, along with
(when possible) Yahoo and the major search engines, and (3) post a
message at the old address telling what the new address is.

 -Steven

 Good suggestions Steven, and we'll keep them in mind. I want to point
out to all our readers that the web site was started as a location for
archives of past issues and was not really intended as the place for
people to pick up copies. We're very happy that you do, but it just
didn't occur to us that many folks would. In fact, it's common that we
don't get the latest issue to the web site till it's been in
subscribers hands for a few days. That's likely to continue,
especially with hot news in rushed-out issues.
 As we discussed Steven's letter with other Amigans, we discovered
there were quite a few who get AU from the website. Now we wonder how
many there are ...
 Incidentally, the address is at the bottom of each and every issue,
though we did have an error in the first issue carrying the new
address. Some letters were capitalized when they shouldn't have been.

Brad,

 Thank You for all the hard work you continue to do. I wrote last year
with a IBM compatible looking for an Amiga, well that is still the
case. I was wondering where I can get information about emulation for
the Amiga. Both the Amiga OS on other systems and other systems or
game machines (SNES, Genesis, NeoGeo) on the Amiga. I am looking to
find out possibly the best systems or software to emulate an Amiga on,
if I can't find a machine. If I can I want to know about which
software is best to emulate the other machine/consoles. Thank You!

Hi Patrick,
 There are real hardware Amigas available from a number of sources.
You might have to do a little searching. If you have a web browser,
start at http://www.cucug.org/amiga.html and work from their companies
page. Also, check out the story about "Amiga Forever", below.
 Brad

 {Last issue we published a letter from a reader who was upset that,
as he thought, Amiga had no plans to attend AmiWest99. We received the
following letter from Amiga President Jim Collas, setting the matter
straight. Mr. Collas apparently wrote directly to the reader as well.
We reprint the reader's original letter below. Mr. Collas's answer.
Brad}

21 May 1999

Dear John,

 We are planning to support AmiWest99. I mention this in my May letter
to the community which was released yesterday but I forgot to add it
to the community activities section for May. I apologize for my
mistake. I will post a news release in the next few days announcing
our support for AmiWest99. As you know AMiWest and WOA fall on the
same days this year. It's unfortunate but we didn't have control over
this. We are working on plans to split the Amiga executives between
the two shows. We are also working on announcements and activities for
both shows.
Sincerely, Jim

May 12, 1999

Dear. Mr. Webb,
    I found it very disheartening to compare Mr. Collas claims to want
to prove himself to the Amiga community with his list of community
activities.  From the absence of any reference to AmiWest99, it would
appear there is no interest in west coast US market by the new chief
executive.  I haven't seen since his open letter which would indicate
anyone from Aimga will be present or that there is any support for the
only west coast Amiga show this year.  It will be interesting to see if
the European market is big enough to support the operation since it would
appear parts of the US market already have been written off.

Sincerely,
John

               Letter from Amiga's new CTO, Dr. Rick LeFaivre

Dear Amigans,

 I thought it would be appropriate for me to "introduce" myself to the
Amiga community, having joined the new Amiga in April as chief
technology officer and senior VP of R&D. Just as Jim Collas is opening
up communications channels as our new CEO, I'll try to communicate as
openly as I can about Amiga's technology vision and directions.

 First, a little about my background, and why I'm at Amiga. I wrote my
first computer program (on an IBM 1620) in 1966, and got my first job
as a (student) programmer in 1967. Over the past 32 years, I've been
privileged to participate in the evolution of computing from the
mainframe to the minicomputer to the personal computer to the
Internet. I started my career as a computer science professor doing
research in artificial intelligence and advanced programming
environments (LISP, SmallTalk, and an AI language I developed in the
early 70's called FUZZY). I moved into industrial R&D in 1978, and
over the years have directed R&D organizations at companies such as
Tektronix, Sun Microsystems, Apple Computer, Silicon Graphics and
Borland International (now Inprise). At Apple, where I oversaw
advanced technology R&D, we pioneered technologies such as QuickTime,
PlainTalk, QuickTime-VR, and a host of other innovations that were
subsequently copied by our friends at a large software company located
in the Northwest corner of the United States (sigh). We also provided
funding for the world's first Internet browser, and set up Apple's
first Internet web site.

 I spent most of my career as a UNIX user and, later, a Macintosh
user. I managed to avoid having to use Microsoft DOS or Windows prior
to Windows 95, but for the past several years have had the, uh,
"pleasure" of being a Windows 95/98 user. I must confess that I have
never been an Amiga user, but I was well aware of what was going on in
the Amiga community as the Amiga and Video Toaster moved multimedia
into the mainstream. People at Apple had a great respect for the
Amiga, and the communities always seemed similar to me. I am rapidly
learning more about the spirit of innovation that has been at the
heart of the Amiga community since the first Amiga was shipped in the
mid-80's.

 Well, it is now 1999, and we find ourselves at the dawn of a new
millennium, and the dawn of the information age. The personal
computer, as represented by Windows PC's and Macintoshes, is now a
mature product category, with little true innovation occurring in the
PC industry. What's next? With the PC industry now in it's third
decade, what will be the next big "S-curve" that will dominate the
next 20 years of computing? Clearly, it will involve the emerging
global information infrastructure, which is creating a fundamental
transformation of business, communications and, indeed, human culture.
In many ways, we are transitioning from the era of computing -
building faster and faster computers that may, incidentally, be
networked - to the era of communications, with powerful ubiquitous
communications networks that connect a wide variety of computing
devices.

 We at Amiga feel that unleashing the full power of this emerging
information infrastructure requires much more than a PC with a browser
plugged into the Internet. What is needed is a complete home computing
environment that ties together powerful multimedia convergence
computers with easy-to-use information appliances, all transparently
accessing content and services on the Internet. As Jim has told you,
our vision and mission is to make computers a natural part of everyday
life by creating an industry-standard systems architecture and
operating environment for this new world. In essence, we want to
redefine the home computing experience for the 21st Century, combining
awesome multimedia, transparent networking and Internet access, and a
user experience that makes a computer or information appliance as easy
to use as... a toaster!

 It's a very exciting time as the spirit of the Amiga starts building
again. Personally, I'm thrilled to be a part of the new Amiga team,
working with Jim, Petro, Jeff Schindler, Allan Havemose, and the other
top people who are being attracted to this opportunity. I look forward
to sharing more about our vision, technologies and products in the
months to come. Stay tuned...

San Diego - May 21, 1999 - AMIGA announces participation at AmiWest99 and
World of AMIGA 99 shows.

AMIGA will be supporting and participating at two major AMIGA shows in July,
AmiWest99 in Sacramento, California and World of AMIGA 99 in London,
England. These shows will occur over the same weekend. "Participating in two
shows at the same time will present some challenges but we are looking
forward to simultaneously discussing our plans for the future with great
audiences on two continents," said Jim Collas. "We are looking at ways to
connect the two events and show that AMIGA users represent a great worldwide
community."

AMIGA executives will be at both of the shows, and look forward to sharing
more details about what we have been doing over the past few months and how
we are moving towards the future.

We look forward to seeing as many of you as possible at the shows.
----------------------------------------------------------------------

                 A M I W E S T 9 9   U P D A T E

24 May, 1999

 At this time we do not know which AMIGA executives will be at
AmiWest. We will alert you as soon as we have that information.

 Earlier, AMIGA President Jim Collas had announced that Amiga is
supporting AmiWest99. In his May, 1999, "Update on Major Activities",
Jim Collas announced that Amiga is "planning to support the AmiWest
show in late July." And in his "Open Letter to the Community", Jim
stated

 "Before I end this letter I would like to cover a few more topics
that came up frequently in emails sent to me. First, I would like to
clarify our hardware product plans. Amiga is planning to come out with
a next generation multimedia computer in late Q4 of the year. This
computer will have a unique architecture, a great operating system,
awesome 3D gaming performance, and advanced multimedia features. I am
confident that this computer will meet your expectations for a great
next generation Amiga. Unfortunately, we can't disclose details of the
new computer yet since we are under non-disclosure agreements with our
technology partners. We also need to be careful about alerting our
competition to our plans. One thing I can say is that the technology
partners we are working with are extremely excited about our direction
and technology. There are Amigans in all major technology companies
and they are eager to support us in driving a new computer revolution.
These partners include some major technology and component companies
in the computer industry. We should be ready to disclose more at the
World of Amiga and AmiWest shows in July."

{See our last issue, 990519, for a complete copy of both items. Brad}

 AmiWest is also also working with the World of Amiga in London, which
is being held on the same weekend, to make this a "World Wide Amiga
Weekend". For those of you in Europe and the United Kingdom who can't
make it to the US for the AmiWest show should plan to visit the World
of Amiga (http://www.worldofamiga.com) on July 24th and 25th.

 For a a preliminary list of companies/clubs that are either
participating in or exhibiting at AmiWest99 see our web page at

ARMIDALE, NSW, AUSTRALIA

By Basil Flinter

 As a result of Petro Tyschtschenko's visit to Australia in January
this year, it became clear that, because of their geographic
isolation, low population density, and distances involved, the Amiga
user community in Australia and New Zealand needed an organisation
which would allow them to become part of the global Amiga User Group
movement, thereby enabling them to play an important role in the
Amiga's revival, and be eligible for the special privileges it is
anticipated that AMIGA will be offering to User Group members as part
of its comeback strategy.

 In other words, because of the isolation of many Amiga users and the
dispersion of the Amiga community, there was a need for a central body
which could disseminate information about the Amiga and Amiga-oriented
activities within Australia and New Zealand, and possibly the
surrounding region.

 We are, therefore, pleased to announce the successful implementation
of one of the initiatives decided upon during that visit, namely the
formation of an Australasia-wide (Australasian) User Group.

 This User Group, named Amiga Downunder UG Incorporated (or ADUG for
short) will be officially launched at the Amiga Downunder 1999 (ADU99)
Show which is being organised and hosted by members of the Canberra
Amiga Users Society (CAUSe) in Canberra on 21 and 22 August 1999
(http://www2.dynamite.com.au/krash/amigadu).

 Membership of ADUG is open to all individuals living in Australia or
New Zealand; however, the residential qualification may be
geographically extended, in the future, to include the surrounding
region.

 Although memberships will not be processed before ADUG is officially
launched at ADU99, anyone wishing to be considered for membership, or
requiring any information at all about ADUG, should contact Basil
Flinter, as indicated below, with the word "ADUG" in the subject line.

 Amiga.org recently published a report reading: `Holger Kruse has been
successfully sued for including backdoors in his public products by a
disgruntled user. This lawsuit now confirms what many have suspected
for a while now, that Nordicglobal products contain procedures to
ILLEGALLY illicit user informations from unaware users. Amiga.org
advises users to deinstall any products from Mr. Kruse. More details
soon...'


From Amiga.org:

 'I awoke this morning to find about 25 e-mails and a number of
stories posted in our own news database which were not only incorrect
but highly offensive. Rest assured, the crew at Amiga.org did NOT make
those posts and we most certainly would never thrash such a wonderful
Amiga product as Miami. Our sincere apologies go out to our readers,
and most of all to Holger Kruse of Nordic Global. For the record,
There are NO back doors in Nordic Global products, and we officially
and highly endorse the use of Miami...' ------

Nordic Global's reponse

 The amiga.org website recently published a report alleging that
Nordic Global Inc. was successfully sued because of "backdoors" in our
products.

 That report is false. We assume that the amiga.org web site was
"hacked" by Amiga cracker groups, and that these groups are now trying
to, once again, tarnish our good reputation, in order to retaliate
against our active anti-piracy measures. However so far we have no
confirmation yet why and how that bogus report got published on the
amiga.org web site.


In detail:

 Our software does not have any backdoors, it never has and never
will. Alleged "backdoors" in Miami actually turned out to be backdoors
in a fake version of "datatypes.library", released by the members of
the Amiga cracker group Digital Corruption. That group made false
claims about alleged "backdoors" in Miami in order to cover their own
tracks.

 For more information on that incident please look at the November '98
news archives of the Amiga Web Directory or any other reputable Amiga
news source. Nordic Global Inc. was instrumental in uncovering the
plot by Digital Corruption and warning users about the threat. The
incident is now well-documented with sufficient proof against the fake
version of datatypes.library.

 Nordic Global Inc. does not attempt to obtain private information
from customers in any way, except in ways obvious to users, i.e.
during registration (MiamiRegister), when users are required to fill
out a form with their name and address, and during credit card
ordering, for the purpose of AVS address verification, to prevent
credit card fraud, as recommended by international credit card
regulations.

 Nordic Global Inc. values the privacy of users very highly, which is
why our software contains more features to prevent and detect attacks
from the Internet than the software of any of our competitors, e.g.
powerful firewall features in Miami Deluxe.

 Except for the usually anonymous rambling of some disgruntled Amiga
crackers, who see their existance threatened by pending lawsuits
against them, we are not aware that any users in any way disapprove of
our policy regarding user privacy.

 No lawsuits have been filed against Nordic Global Inc., neither
regarding privacy matters nor regarding any other matter.

 All of our software, including Miami and Miami Deluxe, is safe to
use, and "recommendations" to the contrary are libelous and without
factual basis. None of our software contains any mechanisms to
transfer user information to anyone without the knowledge of the user.
This is true both for users of the demo version and registered users.

 We would like to stress, once again, that the ONLY software that has
ever been demonstrated to "steal" private information from users was a
fake "datatypes.library" distributed by Amiga cracker groups. This
shows clearly that the best way to protect your privacy is for you to
NOT use any pirated software, or software released by cracker
organizations.


 Nordic Global Inc. assumes that the false "report" on amiga.org was
the result of the "amiga.org" web site being hacked. In that case
expect an official statement and apology from amiga.org soon.

Posted to the net by Andrija Antonijevic

 Here's the message I wrote to HTTPResume users whose e-mail addresses
I know:

 You received this message because you expressed interest in
HTTPResume. If you don't want to receive these announce messages in
the future, please tell me.

 HTTPResume v1.6a appeared on Aminet. It was *not* released by me and
it's *not* official HTTPResume release. The latest official release is
still v1.6, dated 24-Apr-99 01:22:40 and its size is 107036 bytes.
Official archive is 110318, .readme 2109 bytes long. Checking on
http://www.bigfoot.com/~TheAntony/HTTPResume/ is the only way to be
sure that the new version is out. It will always have information on
latest HTTPResume releases and latest HTTPResume archive on local
server.

 I have no connection to v1.6a and can't say whether it has backdoors
or anything malicious inside it (I doubt it, though). I have uploaded
the official v1.6 archive to Aminet today. If you haven't downloaded
"v1.6a", you have no reason to download any comm/www/HTTPResume.lha
archive from Aminet for a while since next version (v1.7) won't be
released in near future. If you are unsure which version you have,
download the official archive from HTTPResume page mentioned above.

 If you have installed this "new" version, please replace it with the
official one. Thank you.

----

 The story goes like this: Tonight I received an e-mail message:

From: "xxx"  Name and address removed to protect the guilty.
Subject: HTTP Resume
Date: 15 May 1999 10:59:59 GMT

Hello,

 Just to tell you that I find it very childish of you to include
propaganda against the war in an Amiga program.

 If removed the line of text and replaced it with what it should be,
and will release this on Aminet within 36 hours as version v1.6a you
can stop me by releasing your own version with the message string
REMOVED

 It's your choice

That's it, l8er alligator !
[SNIP signature]

----

 [The propaganda mentioned is string "Stop NATO bombs!" in title bar
of HTTPResume's main window. Any discussion about this to e-mail,
please.]

 I looked at Aminet recent list and found out that HTTPResume v1.6a
was there (so much about 36 hours). The guy that uploaded it also
decided that he can speak in my name and wrote version history for
"v1.6a" making it look like I wrote (the word he likes to use,
"childish", comes to mind). The rest can be read in message above. The
scary thought is that anyone can replace anything on Aminet with no
problems, and there's nothing that can be done about that. It seems
that PGP signing is the only solution...

Dayton Computerfest -- An Amiga Show Within A Show

 The AmiTech Dayton Amiga User Group has made arrangements with the
Dayton Microcomputer Association, sponsor of the Dayton Computerfest,
the largest computer show in this part of the country, to establish an
Amiga Area within the show. They are recruiting Amiga vendors,
developers, user groups, and individuals that wish to sell,
demonstrate, or display Amiga equipment and capabilities to take part
in the show.

 The show will be August 27-29 at Hara Arena in Dayton, Ohio. The
Amiga Show within the Show, with a concentrated group of Amiga vendors
and displays all in one place will provide are a number of advantages
for the Amiga user:

 1. Access to a concentration of Amiga gear, all in one place.
 2. Availability of a gigantic source of general supplies, such as
drives, printers, storage media, etc. at extremely attractive prices.
 3. Very reasonable table prices.

 Since this show normally has attendance of more than 30,000, it may
also provide the Amiga community an opportunity to make the public, as
a whole, more aware. AmiTech Dayton took this initiative after the
announcement that the Midwest Amiga Show would not be held this fall,
feeling the momentum that show established needed to be continued.
There are lots of accommodations near the show, however, with a show
this big it is best to make arrangements as early as possible.

 If you would like more information about the show or wish to
participate contact:

 South Essex Amiga Link (SEAL) is proud to announce three major
improvements to the quality and service of our print Amiga magazine
"Clubbed".

1. Higher Production Quality

 Starting from issue 3 (see below) Clubbed is being printed directly
from EPS files for sharper text and graphics inside the magazine and a
semi-gloss finish on the cover. The cover is now printed on 200gsm
card to give the whole magazine a more substantial feel.

2. More Pages and Increased Content

 With an increasing subscriber base we can now afford to increase the
page count of the magazine, issue 3 will have a total of 40 pages
(including covers) up from 36 in previous issues. Due to the new
higher quality printing we have been able to reduce the size of images
and slightly reduce the type size while maintaining clarity to
increase the amount of text per page. With the extra pages and smaller
print we estimate the total content of issue 3 is about 25% greater
than issue 2.

3. Credit Card Payment Option

 You can now pay for your Clubbed subscription using a VISA or
Mastercard credit card. We hope this payment option will make it much
easier for Amigans outside the UK to subscribe. This service is
provided for Clubbed by FORE-MATT Home Computing.

 Even with these improvements the subscription price remains the same,
starting at just 10UKP for a 4 issue UK subscription.

 Clubbed Issue 3 Imminent

 Clubbed Issue 3 with improved print quality and more content will be
available in June, some highlights of this issue include:

 How to get your Amiga on the 'net feature complemented by reviews of
popular Internet packages such as:

Netconnect 2
Miami
IBrowse
Thor
YAM

Reviews of:
Turbo Print 7
Epson Stylus Photo 700

Candy Factory Pro tutorial

 As well as all the latest news and an exclusive interview with a well
known Amiga personality

 Kirkland, WA (April 28, 1999) - Monolith Productions today announced
an agreement with Hyperion Press to bring its critically acclaimed 3D
action game, Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, and the LithTech 3D Engine
to the Mac platform. By porting Monolith's popular first-person
shooter, Hyperion is answering the heavy demand by Mac users for
high-quality 3D games. In addition, Hyperion Press has also agreed to
port and maintain Shogo and Monolith's LithTech 3D Engine for the
Amiga platform. Monolith will retain ownership of both ported versions
of the engine and continue to provide Hyperion with its trademark
customer service. Hyperion will retain publishing rights to Shogo on
both platforms.

 "We're very excited about the opportunity to see more games created
with the LithTech 3D Engine on the Mac and Amiga platforms. The
agreement with Hyperion will allow these users to experience what PC
gamers have come to expect from Monolith -- an intense gaming
experience," comments Jason Hall, CEO of Monolith Productions. "With
the help of Hyperion, we are expanding the following for our games and
our powerful 3D engine."

 "We have chosen to license the LithTech 3D Engine because of
Monolith's superior customer service," said Evert Carton, managing
director of Hyperion Press. "As two growth areas, the Mac and Amiga
platforms represent a strong, resilient market with a strong core of
users, who are anxious to play one of last year's most popular games
-- Shogo."

 Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, inspired by the Japanese "anime"
tradition, is an action-packed first-person shooter combining
spectacular environments (from neon-lit, futuristic cityscapes to
gaping desert ravines and canyons) with a meaningful storyline packed
with intriguing characters, large transforming Meccas, and plot
revelations.

 Hyperion/Monolith Agreement The LithTech 3D Engine, the technology
behind Shogo, allows for a full range of powerful graphic effects,
from spectacular explosions from the game's many weapons of mass
destruction to more subtle touches, like real-time cloud shadows. It
supports motion capture technology and both hard-body animation and
soft-body mesh systems. LithTech technology allows for the full-range
of fan modifications that players have come to expect in the
first-person shooter genre. The engine also features a 'Level of
Detail' function that ensures the most efficient allocation of
polygons, making for some of the most enemy-populated environments
around. Extensive information, including FAQ's, about LithTech can be
found at www.lithtech.com.

About Monolith Productions, Inc.

 Monolith Productions, Inc., based in Kirkland, WA, is a game
development and publishing company focused on combining uncompromising
gaming content with the ultimate in high-end gaming technology.
Founded by six game developers in 1995, Monolith's passion for
programming has resulted in the creation of the LithTech 3D Engine.
This proprietary software is used in the creation of Monolith
products, such as the well-received Shogo: Mobile Armor Division, and
is available for license to the wider development community, for whom
Monolith is committed to delivering the software industry standard in
licensing partner support. For the latest news and information on
Monolith and it products, visit their Web site at http://www.lith.com.

About Hyperion Press

 Hyperion is a recently established Belgian-German software house
dedicated to bringing high-end PC games to PowerPC based Amiga and Mac
computers. Individual members of the Hyperion team have been involved
in various commercial and non-commercial projects on the Amiga, Mac,
Linux and PC platforms.

Survey will end on 20th of May 1999!
Today.

Since no project has gathered enough interest so far the only logical
conclusion is:
Amiga is dead.

The promised support by Amiga Inc has not appeared.
The promised support for good products is not existant.
Mr. Collas has not replied to our contacts.

 There has been an overall result of 1057 (sum for all projects) votes
from the survey, many of which are doubled or trippled. We have not
yet processed these mail but will do so during the next days and send
an apology to all participiants. Thanks to all who have sent in their
vote, who have sent EMail supporting our efforts and thanks to
everyone who shared his or her ideas with us so far. Thanks to all our
customers world wide - we do keep our promises and will continue to
support our products on a private base. We will even continue
development of Samplitude Opus - but we will not develop V4 for the
Amiga, sorry. This brandnew audio processing workstation will see the
light of day on a computer platform built for the future. We will
continue our succesful cooperation with major companies in the Audio
sector and create our own new market segment within 18 months.

 Please understand that the result of the survey does not leave us any
other choice. We have been Amiga fans and developers from the very
first days and we are very sad about the last three years of chaos.
The Amiga is not the world - it has been a part of it, but now it is
time to sail to new shores. Latest survey news:

Current survey status (20.05.1999):

 We got about 650 interest calls for the USB controller. If some
dealers had called and supported us or if the ... promised ... support
from "above" had appeared we could have done it. But developing such
devices for such a small market is too expensive, time consuming and
does not result in any improvement of market positions.

 Many people have asked us about our video edit plans. Please
understand that we had to cancel these after WoA in London 1998. If
you are seriously interested in video editing (hard- and software) on
Amiga, tell Amiga International to keep promises. The USB Controler
still could appear. We planned to have at least 2xserial and 2x USB
onboard a single card (see left). Price should be below 200,-DM
including basic driver support. Without professional support we would
not develop more than a minimum of drivers. Due to the microscopic
market we will only develop this and other devices (we planned for a
SDL device - e.g. for IrDA) if someone invests the needed money.

 The Encoder for MPEG Audio Layer3 seems to be of virtually no
interest to the community. Only a handful of votes have come in, not
justifying the needed investment. Again:we have ben talking about an
officially licensed encoder from FHI/Thomson, not some ported ISO
version and not some illegal, not-licenced version.

 ARTAS' homepage will be updated soon to reflect the impact of the
current situation on the ARTAS project.

ImageFX 4 Announced - Now with Animation!


 Nova Design, Inc., creators of the award winning ImageFX package and
the highly received Aladdin 4D v5 package, are excited to announce a
brand new upgrade - ImageFX 4! ImageFX has been the required graphics
application for all Amiga owners and has been a part of Video
Toaster/Flyer owner's toolkits for years. Combining painting, image
file format conversion, image processing, and special effects, ImageFX
remains the undisputed leader in graphics manipulation on the Amiga.

 Now in it's fourth major upgrade, ImageFX goes animated! If you work
on video using your Amiga or want to work on animations for the
Internet the new animation controls in ImageFX are exactly what you've
been wishing for on your Amiga. The animation system is as easy to use
as the animation controls in Amiga paint packages but far more
powerful and support full color animation, palette mapped animation
and greyscale animations as well.

 ImageFX 4 - the Animated Details

 Nova Design, Inc. has built on the new windowed interface introduced
in ImageFX 3.x and has added controls to directly manipulate
animations within ImageFX. Onscreen VCR-style controls have been added
to the layering system to allow you to move within the frames of an
animation or even playback the animation in your preview window.
Brushes can be animated across a series of frames and effects can be
automatically processed across frames as well!

 These controls make it easy to edit animations for use on the
Internet on your own web pages. You can create hand drawn animations,
brush animations and you can easily rotoscope video sequences, add
effects, and batch process. If you want to modify web animations, it's
as easy as loading now that you can load animations. Full support for
loading and saving entire or partial FlyerClips is included for Amiga
Toaster/Flyer owners.

 Many image processing functions and effects have been updated to work
directly on frames and layers now. And what would a new upgrade of
ImageFX be without new special effects? We don't know, since we've
never released without including new effects before and we're not
going to do so now. We've got some cool new effects in this release -
read on!

 Fireworks

 Distorter

 Blob is a fun, if messy, effect. With Blob you can set your
parameters to make a translucent colored ooze slide down your image.
Looking to simulate the effect of slime? No problem with Blob!

 The Text Generator has had so many improvements that it is like a
whole new module. You can now use PostscriptT fonts with it in
addition to Amiga bitmap, color, and outline fonts. You have more
control over the fonts. The fonts now can anti-alias for the best
possible display. Best of all you now see your fonts and text, exactly
as they'll appear, on the display of the image in it's own window!

 CD the Light!

 ImageFX now comes on CDROM for it's standard distribution. If you
don't have a CDROM drive (and you should, they're pretty inexpensive
now) ImageFX will ship with a coupon to order a copy on floppies. As a
bonus the CDROM has sequences of images, animations, and nearly the
entire contents of our Internet site as well!

 Ordering the Upgrade

 As of this release a new price structure is being implemented for
upgrades. If you own a version of ImageFX prior to version 2.0 your
upgrade price is now $149.95. ImageFX 2.x owners can upgrade for only
$99.95. ImageFX 3.x owners can upgrade to ImageFX 4 for only $79.95.
All upgrades include the necessary hardcopy documentation or upgrade
documentation and CDROM.

 You can order via 1-800-IMAGE-69 in the US and Canada or call (804)
282-1157 elsewhere. Orders can also be faxed to (804) 282-3768 or
mailed to our address. Anyone purchasing ImageFX 3.x new after May
20th, 1998 can upgrade for free when you mail us your dated proof of
purchase.

 You'll be shipped ImageFX and receive it in approximately four weeks
depending on the volume of preorders. Previous upgrades have taken
over a month to process so the earlier you order, the sooner you'll
have it!

 ImageFX is also available, new, through your local Amiga dealer or
via mail order at a suggested retail price of $349.95.

27th May 1999

 We are pleased to announce that a new version of Amiga Forever Online
Edition is available for download. For this release, both the
preinstalled Amiga software and the WinUAE emulation have been updated
and improved.

 The 68K CPU emulation has been carefully profiled and optimized, and
is now on average at least 20% faster than in the previous version.
CPU-wise, an average PC can now comfortably emulate a 68040 Amiga
(benchmarks are based on Personal Paint compilation times using SAS/C,
Amiga 4000/040 and Pentium II/400 PC). Experimental AGA emulation and
MIDI output are now also supported by the emulation and already have
many enthusiastic users (some of which can now at last use Bars &
Pipes Pro!) Features such as virtual memory, floating point unit, true
color RTG display modes and TCP/IP continue to be part of the default
Amiga Forever emulation configuration. The latest version of the Amiga
Explorer Amiga-PC networking software is also included.

 The new version of Amiga Forever Online Edition is available for
immediate download from cloanto.com at $29.99. Amiga users in
Yugoslavia have reported credit card authorization problems in
relation to the current situation, and can therefore get the software
at no cost directly from Cloanto.

 Existing CD-ROM and Online Editions of Amiga Forever can be upgraded
to the latest version of the emulation software following the
instructions at cloanto.com. The Amiga Forever pages have been
completely updated and now provide even more resources for users of
Amiga emulation. The Amiga Forever Home Page has a new, easy to
remember browser shortcut: amigaforever.com. Other Amiga product pages
at cloanto.com have been moved to a "Classic Amiga" section, in
preparation for new software titles for Amiga NG.

 We are observing with interest that the emulation topic is currently
being hotly debated both on the internet and in the courts. We would
like to point out that Amiga Forever stands out as a unique example of
careful and complete licensing of the technology being emulated.
Cloanto has licensed the entire portfolio of Amiga patents, trademarks
and copyrights before even considering the publication of the
emulation, ROM and OS components which are part of Amiga Forever.

 Once again, we would like to thank all Amiga users for their
continued support!

Wildfire-Movieshop Effekt Set 3    89 DM  /  55 $

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Achtung! Einige Effekte enden mit besonderen Buchstabenkombinationen:

-HQ ... absolut hohe Qualität, dafür aber auch sehr langsam und sehr
        hoher Speicherverbrauch
-MQ ... mittlere Qualität, dafür etwas schneller und weniger
        Speicherverbrauch
-LQ ... geringe Qualität, dafür noch schnellere Berechnung und wenig
        Speicherverbrauch

MQ sollte für normale Video-Anwendungen ausreichen


_KLi ... bedeutet, daß die Lichtquelle ausgeschaltet ist, somit sind
         keine Reflektionen zu sehen

Wildfire-Movieshop Effekt Set 4    99 DM  /  60 $

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

Achtung! Einige Effekte enden mit besonderen Buchstabenkombinationen:

-HQ ... absolut hohe Qualität, dafür aber auch sehr langsam und sehr
        hoher Speicherverbrauch
-MQ ... mittlere Qualität, dafür etwas schneller und weniger
        Speicherverbrauch
-LQ ... geringe Qualität, dafür noch schnellere Berechnung und wenig
        Speicherverbrauch

MQ sollte für normale Video-Anwendungen ausreichen


_KLi ... bedeutet, daß die Lichtquelle ausgeschaltet ist, somit sind
         keine Reflektionen zu sehen

Effeke zum Verändern von einzelnen Bildsequenzen (Animationen)
==============================================================


Text_2D               Text wird auf Bildsequenzen gerendert
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anmerkung: Der Text, der erscheinen soll, muß in der Wildfire-Session
           geändert werden. Diese befinden sich im Verzeichnis:

           WF:Sessions/Movieshop/One/Text_2D/

           Laden Sie einfach die Session ein, die Sie benutzen
           wollen und editieren Sie den Text-Effekt. Dort können Sie
           Ihren eigenen Text eingeben. Weiterhin können Sie dort
           den Zeichensatz einstellen.
           Danach wählen Sie für die Session einen eigenen Namen
           und beim nächsten Start des Wildfire-Movieshop-Operators
           sollte Ihre Session in der Effekt-Gruppe Text_2D erscheinen.


Ein_Aus               der Text wird ein-und ausgeblendet

Skali1                der Text wird horizontal und vertikal vergrößert

Skali2                der Text wird horizontal vergrößert

Skali3                der Text wird vertikal vergrößert

Standard              dies ist die Standart-Text Session

Verwirbeln1           der Text wird verwirbelt

Verwirbeln2           das gleiche wie Verwirbeln1, jedoch stärker

Outline_Ein_Aus       das gleiche wie die ersten Effekte, jedoch
Outline_Skali1        mit einem `Outlined` Zeichensatz.
Outline_Skali2
Outline_Skali3
Outline_Wirbel1
Outline_Wirbel2



Text_3D               3D Text wird auf Bildsequenzen gerendert
--------------------------------------------------------------------------

Anmerkung: Der Text, der erscheinen soll, muß in der Wildfire-Session
           geändert werden. Diese befinden sich im Verzeichnis:

           WF:Sessions/Movieshop/One/Text_3D/

           Laden Sie einfach die Session ein, die Sie benutzen
           wollen und editieren Sie den Text-3D-Effekt. Dort können Sie
           Ihren eigenen Text eingeben. Weiterhin können Sie dort
           die größe der Zeichen einstellen.
           Danach wählen Sie für die Session einen eigenen Namen
           und beim nächsten Start des Wildfire-Movieshop-Operators
           sollte Ihre Session in der Effekt-Gruppe Text_3D erscheinen.

           Es gibt verschiedene Arten des 3D Zeichensatzes:
           Normal, Bevel, Erhoben, Rund, Route
           Alle Typen benötigen unterschiedlich lange bei der
           Berechnung und sehen natürlich verschieden aus


Achtung!   Diese Effekte benötigen sehr viel Zeit, mu berechnet zu
           werden. Je länger der eingegebene Text ist, desto länger
           ist auch die Rechenzeit! Besonders die Bump_* Effekte sind
           sehr langsam (dafür aber auch sehr sehenswert!)!


Bump_Bevel            der Text wird in einen Alpha-Puffer transformiert,
Bump_Normal           dieser Puffer wird als Höhen-Karte für einen
Bump_Erhoben          Bump-3D Effekt verwendet. Es sieht so aus, als
Bump_Rund             ob der Text aus der Bildsequenz hervorkommt
Bump_Route

Rota_Bevel            der Text wird im 3D Raum rotiert
Rota_Normal
Rota_Erhoben
Rota_Rund
Rota_Route

Transpa_Bevel         der Text wird mit transparenten Farben gezeichnet,
Transpa_Normal        das bedeutet, daß man auch die Rückseite der
Transpa_Erhoben       einzelnen Buchstaben sehen kann
Transpa_Rund
Transpa_Route

Zoom_Bevel            der Text wird im 3D Raum gezoomt
Zoom_Normal
Zoom_Erhoben
Zoom_Rund
Zoom_Route

*LocalServer* is a package that allows you to test your e-mail client by
setting up a local POP3/SMTP mail server. It's based on AmiTCP 4.0 demo.

Both products can be downloaded from http://www.yam.ch/archive.html

_YAM and PGP 2.6_

YAM works with both versions of PGP, but personally I prefer version
2.6.3 because it's smaller, much faster and better integrates into
YAM than version 5.
First of all, install PGP 2 and create your key pair using pgp -kg.
The PGP2 directory has the following structure:

PGP2 (dir)
   bin (dir)
      pgp
   config.txt
   language.idx
   language.txt
   pubring.pgp
   randseed.bin
   secring.pgp

Assign PGP: to the PGP2 directory, then set the enviromental variable
PGPPath to 'PGP:'. In YAM/Configuration/Security, set the PGP Path
option to 'PGP:bin/'. If you want to edit or read encrypted messages
that have been written by you, switch on the 'Encrypt to self' option.

In config.txt, the following settings should be made:

Language = en
EncryptToSelf = off
PubRing = "PGP:pubring.pgp"
SecRing = "PGP:secring.pgp"
RandSeed = "PGP:randseed.bin"

_YAM and PGP 5_

First of all, install PGP 5 and create your key pair using pgpk -g.
The PGP5 directory has the following structure (please note that there
are two copies of randseed.bin!):

PGP5 (dir)
   bin (dir)
      pgpe
      pgpk
      pgps
      pgpv
   keys50 (dir)
      pubring.pkr
      randseed.bin
      secring.skr
   language50.txt
   pgp.cfg
   randseed.bin

Assign PGP: to the PGP5 directory, then set the enviromental variable
PGPPath to 'PGP:'. In YAM/Configuration/Security, set the PGP Path
option to 'PGP:bin/'. If you want to edit or read encrypted messages
that have been written by you, switch on the 'Encrypt to self' option.

In pgp.cfg, the following settings should be made:

Language = en
EncryptToSelf = off
PubRing = "PGP:keys50/pubring.pkr"
SecRing = "PGP:keys50/secring.skr"
RandSeed = "PGP:keys50/randseed.bin"

Check the validity of the keys on your public keyring with pgpk -e and
validate them by signing with pgpk -s <userid>. You can't send encrypted
mail to someone whose key hasn't been trusted.

Please note that there's a bug in PGP5: If a message is encrypted for
more than one recipient (including you), PGP doesn't set an error code
as long as there is a valid key for at least one of the recipients.
For example, you try to encrypt a message for John and yourself:
There's no valid key for John, but there's one for you and PGP doesn't
tell YAM that encryption wasn't successful. The resulting message can
be read by you, but not by John!
