30.1.2003 fxPAINT 2.0 demoversion completed
We are pleased to present you today a demo version of fxPAINT 2.0 - immediately available
through our download section.
Limitations/specialities of the demo version: saving is disabled, DEMO-text on every image,
the demo version is noticably slower than the full version, a small refresh bug due to the
DEMO-text-effect when zooming is lower than 100 percent (this bug ONLY exists in the demo
version), some features of the full version are missing completly or are disabled!
The demo version comes with all native modules for 68K, PPC (WarpUP, PowerUP, MorphOS) and
x86 (Amithlon) and gives you - except for the limitations of the demo - an impression and
some insight of fxPAINT 2.0. Have fun!

SView5 released
As you already may have noticed, SView5 recently has been released.
A short summary of the news follows:
SViewIV is at the end of its lifetime, SView Productivity Suite II comes for free on the latest
Aminet CD, which includes keyfiles for SViewIV and many other programs (including PPC support)
Instead of offering a discount upgrade path from SViewIV, SView5 does incorporate PNG-Box5
and JPEG-Box5 (additional value)
PPC support has been dropped for various reasons (one is that I have no PPC board anymore);
but may come back in different form in the future
More fileformats, more image processing filters, different display driver setup,
free ImageFX SVIEW5 loader for registered users and more... :-)

"Well, it's been a month since eVe was announced so it's time for a quick status update.
The programming is coming along great and already the main play screen and character/collision
detection etc. are working. The graphics work is moving a bit slow right now but Darko Ponos
has recently signed on to help with some great graphics. Quite a bit has been done on the game
design too. Hopefully within another month some screenshots of a nearly fully working version
can be shown and maybe some concept artwork etc. before then. The game will be targeted at

28.1.2003 IBrowse 2.3 released
We are pleased to unveil that a distribution agreement with Stefan Burström and the IBrowse
Team has been signed and we are now the worldwide distributor for IBrowse (support for
IBrowse is still done by the IBrowse development team, though).
Furthermore, we are pleased to announce the immediate release of the eagerly awaited update to IBrowse 2.2.
IBrowse 2.3 brings web browsing on AmigaOS to a new level - below is a brief summary of the changes since version 2.2:
* Heavily enhanced JavaScript support, based on JavaScript 1.5 and revision 3 of the ECMAScript
specification, allowing access to sites which was not possible before
* Secure connection support is now available via AmiSSL v2, which can be configured extensively
in the IBrowse preferences. Importing and exporting of certificates is now also supported.
* Greatly improved general stability and memory leaks plugged
* Improved GUI, including enhanced browser tab functionality (such as drag´n´drop, keyboard support)
* Issues with the ARexx interface have been fixed and new commands added
* Hundreds of other minor and major bug fixes + improvements, and more workarounds added to
improve compatibility with broken sites
All these improvements greatly improve the browsing experience, and allow IBrowse to offer
compatibility with many more websites than before.
A demo of IBrowse 2.3 and the update-archive from V2.2 can be found in our download area.

runs on Linux, BSD, AIX, HPUX, Windows, AmigaOS and, with restrictions, BeOS. Originally it
had been written by Matthew D. Smith, yet largely rewritten since by Rüdiger Kuhlmann, in
particular the necessary support of version 8 of the
ICQ protocol, internationalisation,
file transfer as well as some code restructuring.

24.1.2003 End of GRex petition
M. Lück wrote: "Today is the end of the GRex-petition.
Until today 296 users have subscribed. TriMa and me want to thank you for your support.
Unfortunately this petition has failed. I want to explain in the following lines why it is so.
Two weeks after the start of the petition I have sent the first list with all signatures (without
email addresses) to DCE per email. I got an answer of DCE at once. DCE wrote that they would be
glad about a support of OS4 and that they are interested in the current discussion.
We got the information of Steffen Häuser that the cybpci.library written by Ralph 'Laire'
Schmidt will not work in the 68k emulation because of the 68k MMU setup. So the petition
still became more important because presently GRex users have no chance of getting AmigaOS 4.0
started. We got all information per email which Hyperion needs to support the GRex. Four
addresses are needed:
the base of GRex I/O address
the interrupt acknowledge address
the base address of config space mappings
the PCI-config and PCI-data address.
No circuit diagramm, hardware or software documents are needed. These information I sent DCE
per email. I have not got any response until today.
Then we got the information that bplan has the hardware rights. This means DCE has only a licence
for the GRex. If this is true or not we do not know. One week ago I contacted Mr. Carda per email
for getting clearness. But I also have not got any response until now. That is a pity.
Now we hope that we can attract attention by posting this article.
Thank you very much again to all participants... The attempt of moving something forward means
so much to us - also if it may fail."

This site tells the story of me and a friend of mine trying to upgrade an
Amiga 600 to the max. Why would you want to do so? Well, hard to explain.
It's a freak thing. So if you don't like the Amiga or even don't know what

you better don't take a look at this site. This project was completely
irrational -- and therefore one hell lot of fun!"

24.1.2003 News from Genesi: Genesi is Busy!
"Our first week back in Europe after the New Year was an exciting one. We wanted
to catch up a little before we made this post. We have plenty of information to
share and we know that many of you need an update.
Most importantly, we cannot ship the Pegasos if we cannot make it! We met with Mai
at CES and Mai confirmed they will ship the old Articias to us. Once we get them
we need to mount them on the April PCB and then the mainboard. We know there is
plenty of frustration out there for those of you that want the Pegasos. They will
be available again soon. We will continue to sell the Pegasos with the old Articia
until we get the new samples and can test them. In the meanwhile, we have been
working with a replacement chip that is a bit more expensive, but it seems to work
fine. In this case, we will have two suppliers for this component and will not be
restricted in the future. All the other components required are in stock and ready

22.1.2003 EdWord Source Code Released under GPL
"As of January 2003, the full source code for EdWord is available for free download

longer own an Amiga. Thanks Magnus! Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to locate
the disk with the latest source code on it, so in the meantime I have provided the
sources for the latest version that I have managed to recover.
EdWord was written using GFA Basic, so the source code is provided as a .GFA file.
This is a binary file that only GFA Basic can read (it contains various inlined binary
code for things like bitmaps and machine code implementations of certain critical
functions). I will also provide ASCII versions where possible, though these will not

21.1.2003 Another SID-driver for the Catweasel
The second Amiga-based SID-driver is a playsid.library that accesses the SID of the Catweasel
MK3 PCI/Flipper directly. At the moment this only works on Catweasel controllers that are
plugged in a Zorro slot of an Amiga, support for Clockport-connected controllers will be added
shortly. Playsid plays back a lot of tunes that are known from C64-games and demos. The probably
most famous collection of SID music is the High Voltage Sid collection that contains more than
20000 songs.
Special thanks goes to the brothers Rakesh und Sharwin Raghoebardayal who have
adapted the library to the Catweasel in their spare time, and released it as freeware.

beauty of this product is the versatility though as you can develop your own games
and applications on PC Windows, Linux or even AmigaOS! Speed is another unique
selling point. Where other Basic programming languages crawl at a slow pace due to
complex instruction translations Pure Basic shines by even outperforming C++ written
code. If you ever wanted to program your own commercial quality games or applications

18.1.2003 Genesi needs YOU!

The team of bplan GmbH, the creators of the Pegasos and MorphOS, and Thendic-France SARL,
the exclusive master distributor, will be merged into Genesi shortly. The Pegasos will be
bundled with MorphOS, DebianPPC, Mac-on-Linux and suite of games and application software.
OpenBSD and Gentoo ports are underway (available before CeBIT) and a Debian Development
Team has been identified to create a special Pegasos distro. Discussions are underway for
the following OS ports to the Pegasos: BeOS, OpenBeOS, NetBSD, Zeta, and NewOS. SuSE and
Mandrake (we will see what happens there) are already running on the Pegasos. Many things
still need to be done and we are interested in all constructive involvement. The idea is
to rally a technically oriented community to the Pegasos before a mass-market for the
Pegasos is attempted. We hope by taking this intermediate step the Pegasos will be more
competitive with the BIGGER companies in the IT field. By the way, we will continue to
fully support any effort to bring AmigaOS or AmigaDE to the platform (in fact, we have
taken the necessary legal steps anyway to make sure this will happen since working
cooperatively together has not been possible).

Amithlon: PuhDerBaer Update
"I just realized that the stereo-capable version of PuhDerBaer (the Paula-to-AHI redirector) never made
it out to the users. Well, it's never too late ---
download the archive and please make sure
you read the included README.
Please note that I packed this up under linux, rather than under AmigaOS. So it is possible that
permission bits may not be set correctly --- so if things don't work, look for that first."

14.1.2003 New year, new drivers, new prices
Catweasel MK3 PCI/Flipper is not only a PCI-card, it can also be used in an Amiga.
The first SID-driver has now been released for AmigaOS: Stefan Haubenthal has written
a 6581sid.library for common C64 emulators like Frodo or MagiC64.
Download: 6581sid.lha (1442Bytes)
Unfortunately, the new year also brings bad news: Higher taxes, higher energy cost
and higher wages at our contractors force us to increase some prices for the first
time in the nearly nine-year old history of the company. This mainly affects the new products.
On the other hand, we will decrease prices for the existing inventory.
The new pricelist is valid
from february 1st, 2003.

of Bill and Raquel's friends were there. Multiple Genesi lawyers were there. The
Pegasos-USA web-team was there. David Green of Phoenix Developer Consortium, Felix Schwarz

The first RC5-72 (plus OGR) capable clients for AmigaOS (v2.9002-479) are now available from
distributed.net's pre-release page.
The AmigaOS clients are the first to feature PowerPC and m68k hand-optimized versions of the RC5-72
cores, which offer a significent improvement on the ANSI cores. This was part of the reason why
clients for AmigaOS were not available until now - we hope the delay was worth the wait. Also, for
the first time, the PowerUp client is now 100% compatible with MorphOS.

3.1.2003 Aminet CD serie ends
Because most of the users have a direct access to the Internet an AminetCD which is published each
second month makes no sense. The users can get the software in a much faster way from the Aminet.
Because of that the team of the Aminet has decided to stop making the CDs. This has not an influence
on the Aminet itself which will be kept leading in the same way.
The newest and last Aminet-CD number 52 (December 2002) offers Superview Productivity Suite II
written by Andreas Kleinert as the highlight. The CD is already provided. SuperView IV (SViewIV)
reads, writes and/or converts more than 50 graphic formats and also integrates external programs
like Xpk, Ghostscipt or MetaView. Additional to the display of graphics on over 20 supported
graphic cards (via CyberGraphX, Picasso96 or special driver systems) the program can also edit

Mancini (Hardware/Sales).
When asked about Poseidon for the UltraUSB card the UltraUSB Stack Author, Tom Williams,
posted: "What I will reiterate is we do understand the need for a unified approach or at
least some semblance of compatibility. However, perhaps it doesn't do to have only one option
for your USB software at such an early stage in the game; Amiga only just got USB. CGX and
P96 have always 'competed' well. I started working on our stack a long time ago, when we first
looked at building the card, so there is a lot of solid work there - rather than see it go
to waste, I'd like to find out if the thing will do what I designed it to do! I think you will
be pleasently surprised :)"
