1-913-271-9299 -- NewTek BBS, 3 lines, 28.8K BPS Topek, Kansas
CNet BBS Software, QWK-capable
The BBS has loads of stuff (mostly talk). There are also file areas,
with things like Flyer upgrades (4.04B is up), Feature/Bugs form for all
you guys to fill out :), a few images and objects, and lots o' quick Tech
Support. Quick and efficient place. Download a QWK to get a look at the
messages (and Waverider's tags :) )
The most recent talk is about the following:
LW Distributed Rendering (DR) for the Amiga: the shipping LW Amiga 4.0
will NOT (likly) have DR. However, they are looking into ways to control
LW PC, SGI and Alpha from the ScreamerNet interface in LW Amiga, a
feature which would NOT be available on the other platforms. There is a
voting topic devoted to this subject -- I urge EVERYONE to vote FOR
Amiga DR.
Mac LW: There are now plans to do it, but not for quite a bit yet --
meaning after LW 4.0, Flyer, VT/Windoze, ect.
Flyer TBC: NewTek is looking into NOT doing the Flyer TBC. They are
looking at what people want, so they put up a topic for that, too, so
everyone go and vote YES. At the least, I'd like the S-Video port to
work (say, a daugter card distributed with the Flyer Final Version, or
something). I already have a dual TBC.
Toaster for Windoze: Boy, I wish they'd change that to Toaster External,
since it'll work on Amigas and IBMs when it ships. Won't be any serious
(re: too much) work done on it until Flyer 4.1 ships.
LW Shipping dates: No one knows. Chuck Baker (SysOp) is being very
honest, saying "it'll be done when it's done" as the release date. Call
Tech Support, and they'll say 4-6 weeks, no matter if you call them today
or next month (but we all hope we'll have it by then :) )
... and what you've all been waiting for...
Flyer 4.05. Currenty runing through "TEST". Will be posted once it's
been cleaned up enough. A quote of Tim Jenison says:
> We're really excited about the new functionality we have been able to
> implement in the 4.05 version of the software that is currently in Test.
[ which is DAYS, not WEEKS!, to quote Paul Lara (Waverider) ]
> Some of the features that you will find in this new version include an
> elegant "cut to music" function, "lock-to-clip" capability, global audio
> control and a function for synchronizing foley (sound fx). This is just a
> sample of what is to come. We have listened to our flyer users and are
> working toward implementing as many of the features you have requested as
> possible.
I have no idea what most of this means, but sounds REALLY nice! Soon now...
Gee, and I realy wanted 4.05 for my BDay (which is today, BTW :) )
No firm info on 4.1 yet... Ah, but we all knew that :)
Hope this helps...
And BTW, the BBS # is written in the first few pages of the Flyer manual,
under How To Contact NewTek... :)
