`07.Aug.2000`	Ref: News 15.07.2000 - New Virus Discovered On 07/15/2000 we published a message by Andre Gobet. This message was wrong. The authors of the concerned CD Techno DataBase 00 put our attention on that. The problems were not caused by a virus but by the replacement of some systemfiles during the automatic installation process. These lead to some incompatibility with the installed OS 3.5. If Andre had read the manual he had known that there was the posibility to make an installation by hand. We and Andre Gobet are very sorry for this failure [News message: 07.

`07.Aug.2000` Andreas Magerl via eMail	"Scene Archives #1-8" available For some time APC&TCP offers the CD-ROMs "Best of Scene Archives" and "Scene Archives #9". For a few days "Scene Archives #10" too. Some users asked us if the numbers 1 to 8 are also available, because it is a risk to mail 120 DM to australia. But these is not possible because we do not think that the slaerates would be high enough to cover our costs. But APC&TCP we tried to find a solution. We negotiated with the australian author and decided to make some kind of collecting-order. Further detailed information are available on our newspage. [News message: 07.

`06.Aug.2000` ANN	Comparison between AmigaOE and Microsoft's .net In his article Jonathan Clark compares the AmigaOE-System by Amiga/Tao with the .net-system by Microsoft. Both systems use a virtual processor but have huge differences, too. AmigaOE always uses the little Endian-display, Microsoft offers depending on the processor little or big Endian. In addition, .net contains more type-information in its VP-code. AmigaOE offers a complete OS with Java which can run independently while .net will strongly depend on the WIN32-API and makes operation difficult on Unix-systems. This and other points are described better in Clark's article. [News message: 06. Aug. 2000, 00:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
