9.5.2003 MicroMart: It's The Amiga!
"In a competition that has proved that many older formats are still very much live and kicking,
the Amiga has emerged victorious to claim the crown as Micro Mart readers' favourite home computer. Ever.
It's won a competition that started way back in November, as week by week arguments were put forward
for sixteen of the most popular home computer formats. Since then, you've been voting as two formats
at a time went against each other, with several upsets along the way. Who'd have thought, for instance,
that the Atari ST would head out in the first round, beaten by the AMSTRAD CPC which then overtook the Commodore 64/128
in the next round - by one vote! The BBC Micro surprised us with the amount of support it received too."

6.5.2003 Software News
Amiblitz (2.32) released
A complete full distribution of Amiblitz (v2.32) has been released on the AmiForce homepages.
The last distribution unfortunately contained some errors. Furthermore, there had not been
an up-to-date German version of either Amiblitz2 (compiler), or PED (editor) in the archive.
Due to these problems, the old archives have been completely removed from the server.
This latest distribution now contains the updated German files, and the guide has been enhanced
and translated into German. Also, errors in the previous install script have now been fixed.
Changes to Amiblitz v2.32:
Many internal biugfixes
Fixed Gadtools.lib that i.e. removes the limitation to four colors in shape gadgets.
MUI is now completely supported thanks to MUI2.res.
AHI is now really supported.
OpenGL is now via StormMesa possible.

5.5.2003 Amiga Demoscene Archive: best quality demo update ever?
|
"First update from Breakpoint and The Gathering. Let's start with the bad news: not many amiga releases,
in fact no 64k intro at all, 6 demos in total and 3 4k's sum up all the releases from both parties.
But there also is very good news: the quality from all releases is extremely high! So in this update,
amazing releases by Iris, Ephidrena, Spaceballs and The Black Lotus. In a way, i feel this is the best
quality demo update i have ever done for A.D.A. I hope to include the other releases from Scarab,
Madwizards and Spaceballs demo in next update."

5.5.2003 The OpenBSD/amiga port has been discontinued
From the 1st May 2003 the new release of Open Source Unix Operative System OpenBSD is available.
Sad to know that after version 3.2 the Amiga version was discontinued.
There is currently no one working on bringing this port back to life. The source code is still
available in the CVS Attic, and code can be found in NetBSD as well. But it was decided to stop
supporting it and remove the code from the tree.

has been kind enough to provide server resources for the new lists, and I'll be acting as admin.
"Everyone who was subscribed to either of the old lists should now be subscribed to the
corresponding new list, and should have received the Majordomo welcome message, including un-subbing
insructions. Please bear with us while any glitches are sorted out.
These are the only two NordicGlobal lists still active
enough to warrant keeping alive. The remaining lists mentioned on the NordicGlobal site are permanently
defunct. The website should get updated in the near future to reflect the current status."

2.5.2003 BarsnPipes being ported to MorphOS
|
Alfred Faust: "I've just started a attempt to port BarsnPipes to the MorphOS - Pegasos - system.
It is near unbelievable how fast this system is. Compiling is done 20 - 30 times faster than on my
68040/40-AMIGA. The loading process of the 500 pics for BarsnPipes at startup is done in 1,5 seconds (!).
Because porting to MorphOS is real a hard work, I must terminate the furtherdevelopment on the AMIGA-line
for the moment. I don't know if I can port BarsnPipes completly to MorphOS ... but I try it."
