Instant-Messenger: STRICQ V2 Beta5
On 9 March 2002 Douglas F. McLaughlin released beta 5 of the Instant-Messenger 'STRICQ' (version 2). Compared to the previous version the following changes have been made:
  • Offline messages are now requested, displayed, and cleared from the server.
  • When a message window opens, it will no longer grab the current window focus.
  • Message history is now saved. No GUI support for this yet, soon, of course.
  • Login packets now match the latest ICQ2001b build 3659 release.


Installation tips:
STRICQ V2 is incompatible with STRICQ and must for this reason be installed in its own directory.

At the moment STRICQ V2 can only be launched from a shell prompt. There's a lot of debug output in the shell window, which can be send to Douglas F. McLaughlin in case of occurring bugs.

Run the program. It won't get online right away. Enter your nickname, 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. However, you should consider the following points:
  • You cannot 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
  • If you get an enforcer hit, please forward it to Douglas F. McLaughlin on the message base. You should use <pre></pre> tags.
  • You will need the latest versions of NList, NListtree and TextInput. Links for download are available at STRICQ-Homepage

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III version 0.98
Georg Hoermann has made an update of VirusZ III, and the bugfixed update is now available for download at our homepage. Here is some info about the update:

Name: VirusZ III v0.98
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 54.288
Date : 9 March 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires : OS 2.04+, xvs.library

News in VirusZ III v0.98:

  • Fixed bug in vector check kickmem brain that caused all patches to be recognized as 'AmigaOS ROM Update'. Sorry for that!
  • Designed a new display format for the vector check. This one looks better and is more informative than the old one.
  • Added brain for kicktags to the vector check. This one currently only recognizes 'AmigaOS ROM Update' and 'ramdrive.device'.
  • Added the 'Snapshot' function to the vector check (as I promised). Now you can snapshot every unknown patch that causes alerts on your Amiga and send me the results. This makes it possible for me to even add patches that I cannot install on my computer. Read the manual for detailed information!
  • Added recognition for ppc.library v46.37 to the vector check. Thanks to Jean-Michel Chapron for the handmade snapshots.
  • Added disassembler mode to Memory Monitor. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown vector patches.

Amiga Future


Emulator (Sinclair): ASP version 0.82
ASP, the Sinclair ZX Spectrum emulator for Amiga by Ian Greenway, is available in version 0.82.

Ian Greenway:
This version has a small amount of code changed in the Z80 core which I was hoping would offer some small speed increase. Despite the fact it is shorter code, fewer clock cycles to execute, and cleaner, it seems to actually run about 5% slower on my '060. :-( Still, the code was optimised for '030, so maybe it will help there!

Main features of this release are a ROM Configuration GUI, .SP snapshot support, better drag-and-drop, and some extra TZX stuff. The full list is, as usual, in the guide. (ps)

WinUAE 0.8.21 Release 2 (07.03.2002)
====
- FIXED: custom chipset emulation fixes (me, Bernd Schmidt)
- FIXED: JIT FPU (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: filesystem emulation (Bernd Schmidt, Stephan Riedelbeck)
- FIXED: PC joystick 2 (me)
- FIXED: mouse 2 emulation (me)

- FIXED: configuration GUI memory leak fixed (Stephan Riedelbeck)
- FIXED: keyboard problems (me)
- FIXED: CD32 pad button emulation
- FIXED: serial port updates (Bernd Roesch, me)
- CHANGED: sound emulation (me, Bernd Schmidt)
- ADDED: CD32 media eject/insert support (me)
- ADDED: CTRL-AMIGA-AMIGA-ALT resets and clears chipmemory (me)
- ADDED: "pause emulation while minimized"-option to misc-page (me)
- ADDED: FDI-support is back (me)

Important notes, known bugs and workarounds:

  • WinUAE freezes before GUI appears? Delete Configurations/default.uae.
  • Check your CPU speed settings, they may not be correct if you load old configuration file.
  • Sound buffer size is not comparable with old versions. 3 or 4 is usually the best size.
  • When using CD32 emulation, keep "Hard Drives"-tab empty.
(ps)
