Phase 5 and Haage & Partner argue about standards Psst! Did you hear about... No concrete news from Amiga, Inc. but plenty of rumours Coder’s Heaven is here Yet another C compiler gets released. This one from HiSoft Amiga RC5’ers advance! The Amiga team's now number ten. How long to No.1? Go nuts over kernal pointed out that the Warp Up is an alternative to the PowerUp code, and that users of StormC have the opdon of which to use: “our package contains a solution which is The partnership between software developers Haage Sc Partner and hardware giant phase 5 seems to be at an end. The two companies had been cooperating on the PowerUp project, seen by many as the Amiga’s salvation and even the possible basis of future generations of the Amiga itself. The break up follows a series of statements posted on the respective company’s websites which seem to have escalated into a major argument over software development for the PowerPC accelerator. The row concerns the kernal of code used by Haage Sc Partner for the Warp Up extension to their StormC compiler. This code forms the basis of how the PowerPC chip will perform its functions and communicate to the Amiga’s native processor, and would effectively replace phase 5’s PowerUp code provided with the board. WhateVer the actual case... both these companies will be saving themselves a Christmas card this year. Haage Sc Partner claim that their optimised kernal will allow7 the PowerPC to w7ork at greater speed than the ppc.library which has been developed by phase 5. This statement has infuriated the designers of the PowerUp board, who claim that Haage Sc Partner’s solution is a “hack”, won’t support many features of the PowerPC, may not support future revisions of the hardware and will be completely incompatible with Pow7erUp software developed using other systems. This last point, if true, could be the most telling, as many companies could potentially want to use development systems based on other platforms to compile their Amiga code
