The shareware software enables a connection to a Palm computer by 3Com or compatible devices. The program offers among other things HotSync functions between Amiga and Palm.

The announcement of the AmigaOne has motivated him to start again on the development of his program. The next version of 'Sid4Amiga' will contain the following enhancements:

• Reverb - 10 presets with variable return levels.
• A new PlaySid emulation library for use with Delitracker, PlaySid etc..
• An updated GUI for the new reverb settings. (Mixing desk)
• Bug fixes and a reworked library.

The xvs.library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason: VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new virus appears.

So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get 100% protection against the latest viruses.

To be able to check if the library in this archive really came straight from one of the authors, you can use the public key with the .sig files in the archive. If you are not sure or do not trust the included key, then you can always request the original straight from one of us (by email) or get it from the VHT-Denmark homepage.

Here is some info about the update:

News in xvs.library v33.38 (size: 59.040 bytes):
Just had to fix two problems with the security code:

• a. Timing has been improved to avoid interference with some music software. Thanks to Paracels/PCB for the report and testing.
• b. Expunge of library caused access to deallocated memory in some rare cases. Thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for the report and the excessive beta-testing ;)
• Fixed (hopefully all) MuGuardianAngel hits in the SurveyMemory() routine. If anyone detects some more, please send me the logs. Thanks to Thomas Richter for his suggestions about mmu.library, but I finally found an other solution. And thanks to Sensei for reporting all his hits.
• Improved speed of SurveyMemory() drastically by skipping similar recognition routines in just one step if their common requirements are not available.

With version v0.42 the remaining city levels have been added. A city can now consist of up to 240 different buildings within four several levels: Village, town, city and metropolis.

At the same time Eternity dares to give a statement: "Now some things like settlers, cavalry, artillery and the statistics screen are missing and then the basis set for ToT has finally finished! But not to raise false hopes: Nevertheless ToT is tested for two years then we will add another two months of intensive tests in order to fix also the last bugs. Massive multiplayer games like ToT are very complexe programs and therefore have to be tested in this way.

What will happen afterwards? Already now we have carefully planned the future. ToT will be continued developing after the basis set, permanently improved and extended. ToT players can integrate with corresponding wishes in the project. All that which is meaningful and feasible we will add. Already now there are plans:

• Building castles
• Online-knights competition like archery, lances pang a.s.o.
• Pedigree-management for the players
• Specialists (clerics, wizards)
• Royal secret service
• Spying, saboteurs
• Library with extensive documentations of ToT
• 3D-card in ToT-fashion
• Battlescreens

As always the software is in an early beta phase and the GUI is still provisional. At the moment it is interesting if the tv-card is recognized. Definitively the following ones should work:

• WinTV PCI/FM - picture, tuning, stereo/2-channel-sound, radio, ext. Video/S-Video-In with sound.
• WinTV Go - picture, tuning, tv-sound.
• Medion (ALDI) last version - picture, tuning, stereo/2-channel-sound, Radio, ext. Video/S-Video with sound.
• miro PCITV picture, tuning, ext. Video, sound.
