fxSCAN 4.02 with native x86-support (Amithlon)
« on: July 22, 2002, 08:38:44 PM »
As the first bigger application fxSCAN now supports Amithlon with x86-native versions of its CPU-modules. Thus fxSCAN now runs on native on 680x0, PPC (WarpUP, PowerUP, MorphOS) and x86 (Amithlon) with full speed. The port of the OCR-engine and the servertask (one for every sytem) again brings at least a doubling of speed compared to the emulated 68K-CPU.


Under "Downloads" you can now download a free patch from version 4.0/4.01 to 4.02.


All changes since V4.01:
  • direct support for TurboPrint (no more only via Graphics Publisher), incl. copying. Partly leads to greatly enhanced printing speed.
  • x86-native versions of the servertask and the OCR-engine in Amithlon.
  • when saving JPEGs, the DPI-information is now saved, too.
  • version 8 of the fxWARP3-system (new "fxWARP Memory Guard" to work around bugs and limitations of WarpUP)
  • the standardtool saved in NewIcons can now be changed

with the PICTURETOOL-tooltype

Seems the old 100%-PPC-fanatic-statement
"noone will ever write SW for AOS-x86"
has been proven wrong  :-D

And now we only need Amithlon_2.0 with USB(scanner)-support  :-(

1. Make an announcment.
2. Wait a while.
3. Check if it can actually be done.
4. Wait for someone else to do it.
5. Start working on it while giving out hillarious progress-reports.
6. Deny that you have ever announced it
7. Blame someone else

Lots of people. Most of them reside on ANN, but I seem to remember getting similar comments here last autumn.

Granted, but one usually comes before the other, except in the world of coupons and pre-orders.  :-P

Mind you, there are people on ANN still complaining that the Amithlon support stifles PPC and AmigaOS4 development, and that it should be abandoned in favour of the latter.

Sounds just like the people who declared Amithlon useless because
Pegasos/OS4/A1/MOS would be out in just a few weeks .....
