GrasshopperLLC and Deron Kazmaier announced on the 12th that PageStream4.1 has been ported to and will run on Amiga OS4.0 PPC. Advanced copies of PageStream4.1 for Amiga OS4.0 PPC available from GrasshopperLLC.
PageStream is a powerful desktop publishing program available for Amiga, Linux, Macintosh and Windows
September 12th, 2003 – Antigo, WI – Grasshopper LLC today announced the addition of a fifth supported platform in the stable of computers and operating systems that PageStream already runs on. Amiga OS4 PPC is an exciting new operating system and hardware from Amiga Inc, Eyetech and Hyperion Entertainment that follows in the footsteps of the great hardware and software that is the Amiga.
“Deron Kazmaier, PageStream creator, has exceeded our expectations again!” proclaimed Grasshopper LLC owner Marna Holt. “Deron has burned the midnight oil on his old love, the Amiga, creating the foundation for the next generation of PageStream on the Amiga.” While the full public release of OS4 is beyond our control, the PageStream is not! As the Amiga OS4 PPC is a natural progression from the older 68k, we are offering a limited time discount for those who are moving up to the AmigaOS4 PPC version from PageStream Amiga68k and likewise we are including the Amiga68k version to those who purchase the PPC version before it is publicly released. Crossgrade price from PageStream 4.1 Amiga68k to AmigaPPC is only $40 and the price for a new copy of PageStream4.1 Amiga PPC (with Amiga68k) is only $99. The special offers are set to expire upon the public release of Amiga OS4, and will then revert to the same low pricing already in place for the other platforms. Advance copies of PageStream 4.1 AmigaPPC are available now, but we will continue to stay in step with improvements to OS4. See our website at www.grasshopperllc.com for more information or to order.

The same question can asked why developers still develop applications for Windows 'Longhorn**' pre-candidate release when OS/2 Warp is light years ahead of it...
**not referring to Windows 'Anvil'(NT 5.x AMD64 editions) candidate releases... |

ok so it seems grasshopper have agreed on dooing a deal with pegasos , but why aint this news on the grasshopper site? , such an big news item should have been there since minute 1 and not inside this thread.
everything in the amiga world atm seems so pathetic and beginner's like!.
anyway we all knew about the poll and thoose who bothered voted for it,and them who wanna buy it buys it...
also emulating 68k for mos is possible since it allready runs on amithlon but the real question is , IS this what bbrv was talking about or was it an PPC version? ..
as a last thing , i think that every company on amiga should grow up and be abit more professional, why? ..well because of the fact that they are looking like pure beginners with no clue even if they pull trough some cool ideas/products.
(news should be posted as news items and before news is posted , stay away from the itching fingers! and wait till the damn news is official! .. ) |

"Grow up and be more professional"? Hmm, this is how I picture things:
This is the "input market" for Genesi, the place where they build initial momentum and find developers and encourage them to develop for the future Genesi products that will be sold on the much broader "output market" - the real market outside this little community where the real money will be made. That explains the inofficial approach, the "family" kind of communication on the community forums. This has nothing to do with the term "professionalism" IMO. And personally, I prefer a close contact on an informal level with the corporate representatives, instead of seeing them shooting some fluff down to earth from high orbit once in a while.
Regarding press releases, I am sure that a note about the availability of a PPC native MorphOS version of Pagestream will be put on the Grasshopper site whenever everything is ready ... |

Posted by Johan Rönnblom on 15-Sep-2003 08:20 GMT | PageStream 4.1 68k *appears* to work nicely on MOS. I say "appears"
because I haven't used it for any extensive projects yet.
As for this PPC version, I wonder if it's available now? I mean, do
you actually get a PPC version *now* not just "later"? If so, has
anyone tested it with MOS? |

Althought this is not the best place to say it, I have to say that I really like your backdrop picture of the black Pegaso :-)
Do you have it available for download somewhere?
to the trolls:
try to be constructive and ask a MOS version, buy the 68k version and state that you are a MorphOS user and show your interest in a native version. Being available for 68k and OS4 it will probably won't be difficult to port it to MOS, so instead of bashing OS4 and drop shit in these forums try to do something more useful: buy/create/translate programs/games or make some demos :) |

I asked the same question in the news section over at amiga.org some days ago.
Anyway, the PPC MorphOS version could not be hard at all to accomplish now when the work allready has been done for OS4, could it? |

Dude, this WHOLE news item is about selling software for an unreleased OS and not about initiating development. I admire your reading skills, but next time, please start at the top. "Advanced copies of PageStream4.1 for Amiga OS4.0 PPC available from GrasshopperLLC" "We are offering a limited time discount". |

Posted by Phill on 15-Sep-2003 11:11 GMT | In reply to Comment 68 (Anonymous): What is the big deal with them selling it anyway? Ok, so only some people can currently use it. But really the idea is you get it cheaper if you buy it before it's officially released.
They even claim they will keep it up to date with OS4 as it's being developed.
Really it's kinda like the Amiga 1000 days where the beta testers had daily updates of Kickstart & Applications had to be updated all the time as everything changed.

So what? Does that qualify the software as "stable and ready for release, let's make some money and sell it as Pagestream for AOS4"? Firstly, AOS4 still isn't out, even if *they* have a preliminary beta version and secondly, guess what, software that runs on those PPC add-on cards may not run under AOS4 per se. Classic Amigas have classic hardware. If you have a Pegasos, you know that the absence of custom chips makes quite a drastic difference to software. |

Yes, that's the idea, buy it before it's done and get a discount, and if they had modestly put it that way rather than going for a sack of marketing bullshit (burning the midnight oil? Available now for OS4?), it wouldn't have generated a thread ;-) I leave it to your imagination if it's a good idea to buy software before completed or, worse, before even the OS for it is on sale. |

And some blind MOS supporters can't see that MOS lightyears behind MaxOS, Linux and WindowXP. Oh come on, grow up. |

Posted by MarkTime on 15-Sep-2003 12:32 GMT | This morning, I'm just going to say the obvious.
You should stop giving Eva such a hard time.
She's only saying what you all know, even the Amiga fanatics, know these things too...you just meet in your clubs and have 'spin control' and
'talking points'...what is all that about? It's about hiding the truth.
The truth is, OS 4 isn't a product that can be sold. It isn't in final bugfixing mode, it doesn't even boot on the AmigaONE board yet. This is all
well known.
It's been two months away from finishing, as Eva said, for years...its always
two months away from being done.
Here is a fact, in 2001 when Frieden said it was two months from being done, I said it was not two months from being done.
Now Hyperion says its October. I say its NOT October.
So far, I've been right. They've been wrong.
Frieden will say I don't know. Whatever...I've always been right, he's always been wrong.
Will that change in October....lets find out. |

She's saying the same again and again, just to troll around and she gets
what she expects from us.
We all know that AOS4 is not ready yet. And? No need to repeat the
same old story again and again. The water doesn't cook faster this way. |

Pagestream does not need AGA. It runs perfectly on Amithlon, and probably also on MorphOS. |

Posted by Stephane Desrosiers on 15-Sep-2003 13:31 GMT | In reply to Comment 81 (Don Cox): Yes, Pagestream 4.1 68K does work on MOS for anyone asking. I had some problems getting the initial setup up and running in MOS1.3 and did a few things to fix it. I don't know about doing a fresh install in MOS1.4, but my current installation works with 1.4 so I didn't have to do anything.
That said, it's great that Grasshopper will be working on a OS4 PPC version and there is already talk on a MOS version as well. So everyone, please stop the "<insert OS here> suxxors" and "*THEY* started it". It just makes everyone look bad.
Thank you. |

I have to tell you that you are a stupid anonimous guy that can understand a little true in all this histrory.
SOMEONE CONTINUES TO TELL US THA AOS4 IS READY TO SHIP ON AMIGAONE, STABLE AND FAST, FULL OF NEW THINGS AND SO ON ...
.. adding then, with something that can be named "fraud", "You don't have to buy Pegasos because Mos is slow and buggy or doesn't have this or that" , while Aos4 continues to be vapour ...
Gal here we are talking, frankly, about the good path to close completely the job of few programmers and users of an alternative OS similar to AmigaOs 3.1
A 3 year anticipation (maybe 43) on the release of a product (simply to stop another) is, frankly, not something really worth.
And this tread continues on the same way because if someone can say "Pagestream 4.1 will be released for AmigaOS4", I can answer that "We will release VirtualPC on Mos 3.0" surely in max 2 months. |

Hey MOS heads, can't you come up with some thing new!!!
stop repeating your self it extremely annoying really it's like broken record place throw it away, place!!! :D
I think 100% of all AmigaOS4.0 fans knows this, and current state of MOS don't really interest os unless, remove the ABOX, add automatic stack-enlargement, implement some game api, implement better memory protection, trow away the Box emulation concept as it really is silly.
One one more thing what the hell are you done posting in Flame bits in AmigaOS4.0 news item, It won't even run on MOS, so way should it interest you!!!! :D |

Posted by Amon_Re on 15-Sep-2003 16:12 GMT | In reply to Comment 78 (MarkTime): Mark, well you can say what you like, but unless Eva learns to back up his/her statements with atleast an attempt at decent argumentation this will continue.
I don't know if it were the Friedens themselves that made the statement of "only 2 more months", and frankly, i don't care.
As for AOS4 booting on A1 or not, that is an unknown, maybe it already boots, but it's not in a state they feel confortable about showing, maybe it doesn't boot, maybe you get asfar as the shell, i don't know, you don't know, only those involved in the project know.
The same holds to MOS, lets talk about eg MOS 1.5, no one except those involved know the exact details for the project.
This is normal, and i don't see anything wrong with that.
Will AOS4 boot in Oktober? I don't know, but i do know that the Friedens are excellent programmers, and if they said Oktober, they *WILL* burn the midnightoil to make that happen, however, they will not cut corners to get there faster.

Posted by Amon_Re on 15-Sep-2003 16:24 GMT | In reply to Comment 84 (Eva): Eva, i'm not going to get into shemantics with you, because i doubt that you would be able to do so clearly, this is not meant as an insult, but i know the limits of your grasp of English.
However, i must react to some of your statements:
- I have not seen anyone make the claim that AOS4 is ready to ship, and even if it were ready, unless it comes from Hyperion i'd not believe any such statement (and the same holds about MOS, if you were to say 1.5 is shipping tomorrow i'd not believe you neighter, but if it were on the Genesi site i would believe it)
- "What is more advanced? AOS or MOS" << This is a silly discussion because both implementations have 1) Different goals & 2) Different idea's.
AOS4 eg is aimed solely at being AOS, while MOS is aimed to expand out of that frame (ABOX/QBOX/...), therefor there are bound to be alot of differences in both products. I don't think eighter one is "superior", however, AOS4 fits more closely with my personal idea's about computing. If AOS4 would somehow not come trough, i would eg not go to MOS on the premises that it is an AOS-Compatable OS on PPC,but i would opt for AROS. If you think MOS is superior or "lightyears ahead", please try to explain why you think so with proper argumentation.
- Where did the fraud part come from?!
- Lastly, wether or not MOS is the "good path" is a stupid discussion. If MOS is more suitable for you, then great! Enjoy your system & have fun with it, for others it's not the "good choice", learn to accept that & go on with your life.

PageStream4.1 for AmigaOS4.0 PPC : Comment 94 of 199 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Brian Hoskins on 15-Sep-2003 17:55 GMT | Heheheh, I just KNEW this thread was going to alter and mutate from a nice pleasant announcement regarding future AmigaOS4.0 software support into the classic "AmigaOS4 is way better then MorphOS" and the typical "You haven't got a clue what you're talking about, MOS is light years ahead of OS4"
These arguments are never constructive when shouted about in these types of manners, and what really makes me laugh is that none of you - not me, not you, not AmigaInc, not Genesi, not ANYONE is currently in a position to make any judgment as to which of the two competing platforms is best - and even then it is always subject to personal opinion.
These personal opinions are just nonsense at the moment, because OS4 hasn't even been released yet. Until it HAS been released, and you have sampled the advantages and disadvantages of each Operating System in as non-biased a way as is possible, then neither any of you or I are in a position to say what OS4 does better than MOS, OR what MOS does better than OS4.
In effect, these arguments are completely pointless at the moment and serve no constructive purpose whatsoever. But since this thread will undoubtedly continue along the lines of "OS4 V MOS" regardless of anything I say, this is where I will leave this thread I think.
Suffice to say Pagestream for OS4 is an excellent idea, and Pagestream for MOS would be welcomed as well if MOS supporters find time to take themselves away from this pointless destructive critisism and do something CONSTRUCTIVE... like pestering GrasshopperLLC with emails asking for a MOS version :)
Cheers everyone,

...do you really think that a developer would not want their product on as many platforms as possible?
In the same way we will be happy when OS4 finds a home on the Pegasos.
