Macintosh owners can therefore use the operating system update without any problems. There is currently no installation script for the Atari version of the update. (tr) Application Systems Heidelberg (tr) Free video editing (29.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)The video editing software Mountain has been declared freeware by its French developers with immediate effect (previously EUR 45.--) and as such can be freely downloaded and used. At present, however, only the French full version is available. An English full version is to follow, so far only an English beta is available. Mountain requires a TOS computer with a 68030 CPU and 4 MBytes RAM. The program has been successfully tested on Falcon 030, TT, Hades, Medusa, Eagle, Milan and the PAK 030 accelerator. In addition, at least a True Colour resolution as in the Falcon is required, graphics cards are also supported. The source code of the program is also available on request. (tr) (tr) Two new VCS games (29.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)For the classic game console Atari VCS 2600, two new game binaries have been released. "Thwocker" (we reported) is only 80% complete, but knows how to shine with interesting graphics. "Video Life" is another rarity that can be played with an emulator. Both programs can be downloaded for free from the AtariAge website. (tr) (tr) z26 version 1.47 (29.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)z26 is a popular emulator for PCs running the Windows operating system that recreates the classic Atari VCS 2600 game console. The program is now available in version 1.47, which supports, among others, the newly released games "Thwocker" and "Video Life". z26 is freely available. The source code is also available. (tr) (tr) Installer for MagiC 6.2 in development (28.08.2001 - 10:10 Uhr)As Application Systems Heidelberg informed us in response to a query from one of our editors, an installer is still planned at least for the difficult-to-install update file to MagiCMac 6.2. So those who shy away from installing the operating system update because of the manual work required should wait for the version equipped with an installer. (tr) Application Systems Heidelberg. (tr) Tux is 10! (28.08.2001 - 10:10 Uhr)On 25 August 1991 at 20:57, members of the Usenet newsgroup "comp.os.minix" found a message from a certain Linus Benedict Torvalds in their forum. The then 21-year-old student from Finland announced that he was writing a free operating system. No one - least of all Linus Torvalds himself - would have thought that this hobby project would become one of the most important operating systems on the computer market in the following ten years. Today, 27 per cent of network computers already run Linux, the growth rates are astonishing and are making life difficult for Microsoft. Especially the growing market of "information appliances" (set-top boxes, PDAs, etc.) could ensure further spread. There is also a 68k version of Linux for the Atari. Happy Birthday, Tux! (tr) (tr) Two programming languages by Mia Jaap (28.08.2001 - 04:10 Uhr)There are still programming languages that have not yet been converted to the Atari. These then wait for Mia Jaap to port them. Now this fate has befallen the languages "Mouse" and "Turingol". Mouse is a language introduced by BYTE magazine in 1979. It is a mouse interpreter, but does not make use of the mouse. Even though Mouse is almost unknown, this language is not meant as a joke. Turingol is an old programming language (1968), obviously inspired by Alan Turing. (tr) Marc Adler Lisp 1.0 (27.08.2001 - 09:10 Uhr)Marc Adler Lisp is a simple LISP interpreter, written in ANSI-C. Versions for TOS and DOS are included in the freely downloadable archive, but no documentation on the language itself. (tr) Mia Jaap - JaapanFocal-81 (27.08.2001 - 08:10 Uhr)Focal-81 is a very old teaching language developed by Digital Equipment Corporation for the PDP-8 computers. It has now been implemented fully functional with sources and example programs for the Atari. Focal is not a so-called "esoteric" programming language and was used quite seriously professionally from 1969 to the mid-1980s. (tr) Mia Jaap - JaapanSTiK2 2.02 (27.08.2001 - 08:10 Uhr)The Internet access stack STiK is now available for free download in the revised version 2.02. STiK now also masters dynamic DNS addressing. To use the program, you also need the latest version of Qdialer from Anthill Industries, which can be found on the same website for free download. (tr) (tr) MiNT on the Macintosh? (27.08.2001 - 04:10 Uhr)MacMiNT is an attempt to run the independent Atari operating system MiNT on the Apple Macintosh. 68k and Power Macs are supported. However, MacMiNT does not replace the pre-installed Mac OS. Also the network functions and an AES system are not supported. (tr) (tr) Classic Computing cancelled (27.08.2001 - 01:10 Uhr)Classic Computing 2001, a trade fair for classic computer systems that was to take place on 08 September 2001, has been cancelled and postponed indefinitely. The organiser asks for understanding. (tr) (tr) Aniplayer 2001 2.17 (26.08.2001 - 06:10 Uhr)The popular multimedia player Aniplayer 2001 is now available in the revised version 2.17.

The 477 KBytes PDF manual can of course be downloaded free of charge from the web pages of invers Software. (tr) (tr) New survey at MagiC Online (25.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)There is a new survey on the web pages of Bengy Collins asking if there is any interest in a dedicated Atari show for Canada. Think about it, maybe you've always fancied a holiday in North America...? (tr) (tr) Circuit board of Centurbo 060 (25.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)A first schematic of the eagerly awaited 68060 accelerator card Centurbo 060 has now been posted online by Czuba Tech. The JPEG image is 68 KBytes in size. However, an exact release date has not yet been given. (tr) (tr) Tales Of Tamar 0.23 (23.08.2001 - 12:10 Uhr)The Atari client of the role-playing adventure game "Tales Of Tamar" is available in the new version 0.23.

A TOS computer with at least an 030 CPU and 10 MBytes RAM, FreeMiNT, NVDI and N.AES or XaAES is required. (tr) (tr) News from the Atari PDF reader (23.08.2001 - 11:10 Uhr)The planned PDF reader by Eric Reboux and Rafal Kawecki is making small but steady progress. In September, the editorial staff of st-computer should receive a first preview version. The developers are making an effort to display PDF files directly so that the time-consuming process of converting them into PS format does not have to be taken, as is the case with Ghostscript. However, it has been announced that neither ASH nor invers Software will distribute the software. What form of distribution will be chosen instead is still open. (tr) (tr) Graoumf Is Not So Damn Slow (23.08.2001 - 07:10 Uhr)For the music format "Graoumf Tracker" there is now a dedicated player for the Atari Falcon. GINSDS is a small command line tool that can play 16 bit samples on up to 32 channels. Stereo panning can be used on each channel. GINSDS requires a Falcon with at least 1 MByte RAM, Fast-RAM is recommended. The current version 1.2 is available for download (tr) (tr) |
