Messenger: StrcICQ V2 - Second BETA-Version
On the homepage of StrICQ the second BETA version of the client V2 is released.
Download: STRICQv2.lha
Important hints for installation:
- Unarchive to its own directory. STRICQ and STRICQ v2 are incompatible.
- Only run STRICQ v2 from a shell prompt (I have not tested it with an icon, are you brave?)
- There is a lot of debug output to the shell window, you may need to send me a copy of it.
- Run the program, it will not be able to get online right away.
- Enter your Nick (whatever), your UIN, and your Password. Click 'Save'.
- Close the program by using the close window button on the contact list window.
- Your prefs are now saved.
- Restart the program and if all went well, you should now be online.
Know Problems and Caveats: IMPORTANT!
- You can not add contacts manually yet. If you have never used ICQ2001b, don't bother using STRICQ v2 at this time.
- If you have used ICQ2001b before, STRICQ v2 will import your contact list from the server.
- You can't close the prefs window, so don't try. :-)
- If you get an enforcer hit, please forward it/them to me on the mailing list.
- You will need the latest versions of NList, NListtree, and TextInput.

Messenger: CIM now supporting PGP5 for encrypting chat
Marius Schwarz wrote:
CIM is now supporting PGP5 to encrypt packets.
This mode was not tested, yet. Since PGP5 outwardly only differs in
its syntax from PGP2.6, I guess it works without problem.
CIM allows to send messages through firewalls server independent and
with PGP encypted, has a clear user management and useful additional
information.
CIM is not compatibel with ICQ , AIM or YIM.

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III Version 0.96
Well, this is the best news in 2002 (so far).. Georg Hoermann has started
to update VirusZ III, and a new full update is now available for download
at our homepage.
Here is some info about the update:
Name: VirusZ III v0.96
Archive name : Vz3_096.lha
Archive size: 35.575 Bytes
Date: 27 January 2002
Programmer: Georg Hörmann
Requires: OS 2.04+, xvs.library
Neu in VirusZ III v0.96:
- Once again written by Georg Hörmann, as Dirk Stöcker doesn't have
any time. No longer beta version, because all features are working
well, missing ones are no reason for a beta release.
- Fixed bug in vector check that appeared with xvs.library 33.37.
No longer uses private stuff from inside the library.
- Fixed bug in vector check startup code invented by Dirk's updates.
No longer uses uninitialized gadget pointers.
- Added 'Show...' function for 'Data Viruses' from xvs.library.
- Rearranged 'File Check Preferences' back to just one window after
Dirk replaced the old archive stuff with XAD.
- Added missing 'ROM Update' memlist entries to the brain.
But: There still exists one entry that cannot be added because of
missing static data.
- Added recognition for MuForce and MuGuardianAngel patches.
(ps)

Virus Help Denmark: WatchDog 2.5
On 25 January 2002 Zbigniew Trzcionkowski released with version 2.5 the
latest snapshot of his memory surveillance tool 'Watchdog'. In this
version further tests have been added amongst other things.
Compared to version 2.1 the following details have changed:
- added ToolType 'IgnoreSnoopDos' - currently this is the only patcher
I have decided to include since in future I want to use heuristics
to analyse ANY patches...
- added 'WatchDog' position in WB/Tools menu. After watching this
requester memory test is performed too...
- added new memory installation and new timing routines...
a. read: memory deprotection of WatchDog together with xvs should
be more difficult for virus now...
b. time between memory checks is adjusted using AI features and
varies somewhere between 5 and 10 seconds (depending on system
and user activity)...
c. fixed little bit my unfreezing toy...
- added few more vital Exec vectors to memcheck...
- added checker for some important dos vectors (with $4ef9 opcode
generic restorer)
- added some debug tooltypes - no need to mention them here...
- added S:startup-sequence and S:user-startup notification so that
any change (or deletion) of these important files is reported to the
user. If You don't know what that notification is You'd better
believe me that it slows no machine and causes no accesses to the
watched files...
- added ToolType 'NoNotify' to switch off ability mentioned above :)
The tool uses the xvs.library in order to check every three seconds
if the memory contains any known virus. All further features of the
program are explained in the documentation.
Watchdog runs from AmigaOS 2.04 and needs the xvs.library.

AROS: latest snapshots
With regard to AROS the latest snapshots of the sources and binaries
were published on
Sourceforge.
AROS is an open source project for the implementation of a portable OS which is
compatible with AmigaOS 3.1.
Release Name: 20020126
The following files are available:
- AROS-20020126-source.tar.gz
The main AROS sources.
- AROS-20020126-contrib-source.tar.gz
contrib sources.
- AROS-20020126-i386-linux.tar.gz
The hosted version for Linux/i386. This is the most complete and
mature port, which means that you can run almost all included
programs and demos with it. This archive contains all AROS and
contrib binaries compiled from the CVS tree.
- AROS-20020126-i386-freebsd.tar.gz
The hosted version for FreeBSD/i386. This is a fairly new port for
which binary snapshots haven't been available until now, so it might
not be as mature as the Linux/i386 port. For example, this archive
does not contain contrib binaries.
- AROS-20020126-i386-pc.tar.gz
The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
It works quite well, but the driver support is very limited at the
moment. This archive contains all AROS and contrib binaries compiled
from the CVS tree, but not boot floppy or cdrom images which are
available separately.
- AROS-20020126-i386-pc-floppies.tar.gz
The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
This archive contains the boot and contrib disk floppies which you
can quickly write to a disk and boot AROS with.
- AROS-20020126-i386-pc-cdrom.iso.gz
The native version for i386-based PC AT computers and compatibles.
This is the bootable CDROM ISO image, which contains all programs in
AROS-20020126-i386-pc.tar.gz.
The image is a bit experimental, which means that eg. the
Startup-Sequence hasn't been adapted properly yet
(although you can boot into AROS). Also, this version WILL NOT work
with computers that have more than one CD-ROM drive.
