YAM project looking for web designer for future community site
The known project (email program) is looking for one or more motivated web respectively graphics designer(s) who'd be preparded to build in cooperation with the developers of YAM a completely new support site for the future community site on the basis of the PHP framework XOOPS.

The support site that is accessible under http://www.yam.ch/ has come to an age that makes it necessary to create a completely new and usable support site to be prepared for the future work on YAM.

Interested ones should already know PHP and the XOOPS framework and they should also already have some graphical abilities in designing new signs and know complete web design. It's of course possible to install a team to share design and administration with several persons.

A powerful server with an installed test version of XOOPS is available waiting for adaption and web design to become the new YAM site.

The new community site will then come next to features like latest YAM news and a comprehensive online FAQ with online forums and direct downloads of daily updated compilations.

If interested write to Jens Langner@light-speed.de. (snx) (Translation: wk)

Anti-Virus-Software: New Version 1.00 of VirusZ III
After six years Georg Hoermann has had the development time to release the final version of VirusZ III and thereby throw off the designation of "beta status." You'll find the new version 1.00 of VirusZ III on the VHT website under the title link, and in a few days it will be on Aminet.

Program name: VirusZ III v1.00
Programmer: Georg Hoermann
Date: 19th February, 2004
Archiv name: VirusZ.lha
Archiv size: 102,556 Bytes
Requirements: AmigaOS 2.04 or higher, util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha, util/virus/xvslibrary.lha, util/pack/xfdmaster.lha, util/arc/xadmaster.lha (recommended), util/libs/DisLib.lha (optional)

News in VirusZ III v1.00:
  • Improved 'Snapshot' function of the vectorcheck, it now saves the information supplied by SegTracker. So please install SegTracker before doing snapshots, it helps me a lot!
  • Finally fixed VirusZ 100% for MorphOS/Pegasos systems:
    • a) The vector check now handles function calls using EmulLibEntry correctly and calculates "ROM" locations and sizes in the most compatible way by scanning system romtags and afterwards calling NewGetSystemAttrsA().
    • The memory monitor has been fixed for fake chipmem on Pegasos and supports MorphOS "ROM" areas too. There's just one problem left with pre-50.58 exec.library: size of A-Box modules cannot be calculated perfectly here and will simply be set to 0x700000. This means that you might be able to access non-existing memory areas at addresses near 0x10800000! This is on your own risk...
    • The internal doslist scanner (for sector check/bootblock lab) works without MEMF_24BITDMA memory now which was never available on MorphOS systems. The code for 64-bit access (>4GB) has been bug fixed and enhanced to support TD_READ64/TD_WRITE64 too.
    • Rewritten startup code to use EasyRequestArgs() in case of an error instead of DisplayAlert() which is not available in current MorphOS versions. Thanks to Harry Sintonen for all his help with MorphOS topics and for beta-testing! And thanks to Alexey Ivanov, Ilkka Lehtoranta and 'Vinny' for beta-testing too.
  • Fixed problems in sector check concerning 4GB-border. Added some recalculation routines for strange values in de_BlocksPerTrack. Additionally de_MaxTransfer is supported now for older HDs.
  • Removed the 'Use/Ignore External Xad-Slaves' selection from the file check prefs. This was obsolete as xadmaster.library always requires external clients to do a good job.
  • Finally added support for disk archives and disk images to the file check. Please note that xadmaster.library v8+ is required! Now you can extract all types of archives that XAD supports, and if they contain disk images with valid files inside, these files will be checked too. Two new options therefore have been added to the file check prefs: "Extract Disk Archives" and "Check Files Inside Disk Images". Please read the docs for more information! Thanks to Dirk Stöcker for beta-testing and his helping hand concerning tricky XAD stuff.
  • Added extra check for bootblock viruses to sector and file check (for files larger than 2048 bytes, usually diskimages).
  • Added sector checking for files! You can select 3 different modes in the filecheck prefs, please read the docs carefully for further information...
  • Added 'Scan Files For Bootblocks' to the file check prefs. With this option enabled, VirusZ scans for bootblock viruses inside files. Useful to detect unknown bb-virus installers.
  • Changed/enhanced functionality of the 'Job Monitor':
    • 'Pause'/'Continue' gadgets have been replaced by a single cycle gadget to stop/run the current job. b) 'Quit' gadget is always active now (requested by many users).
    • All running/waiting jobs will be displayed in the report list now so you get a better overview. You can select any of them and kill them with the 'Kill Job' gadget. Useful if you accidentally have selected some wrong files/disks.
    • Added 'Check Files...' gadget. It obviously does the same as the equally named menu item of VirusZ's main window, but you won't have to switch windows any more.
    • Added 'One/All' cycle gadget between 'Disinfect' and 'Delete' as it determines the behaviour of both functions. If 'One' is selected, everything works like in previous versions. By selecting 'All', the delete function will delete all malicious files that have been found so far. 'Disinfect' first determines the type of the selected item (infected file or sector?) and will then start disinfecting either all files or all sectors of the selected disk. Requested by 'Underground God', hope you are happy now :)
  • Bumped version of VirusZ III to 1.00 !!! After 6(!) years of often little development and much more lack of time VirusZ III finally has reached full functionality...

ADD - added
REM - removed

FIX - fixed
BMP - bump

  • IMP: Functionality for handling possible errors improved.
  • IMP: Logging-functions now faster and smaller.
  • ADD: The logging- and errorfeedback-options can be modified on the fly without the need of dismounting the array to make the new options working.
  • ADD: The URD-own command-set for reading, writing and updating the array is now basicly implemented. More details on this API later.
  • CHG: Of course many small changes and improvements done not listed here.

Intel announces AMD64 compatible processor
"Other way around now" seems to be the new agenda: While AMD's 32 bit x86 processors are compatible to the Intel standard the latter company has announced a 64 bit extension compatible to AMD's 64 bit technique now. Thus a good chance is given that the 64 bit desktop processors by both companies will be compatible to each other. Currently Intel keeps the 32 bit concept within this area and plans to implement the AMD extension initially to their workstation and server processor Xeon only.

CAPS project: User library ported to Linux (x86, PPC)
The Classic Amiga Preservation Society (CAPS) has ported their libary now to Linux (x86 and PPC).


The CAPS team archives old and copysaved Amiga-games and they convert them in their own CAPS-format, which can be read by new WinUAE-versions.

With the user libary the IPF images of third programs could be processed. The packet is bound to C.A.P.S Freeware License Agreement which is contained in the archive. (snx) (Translation: gf)

Airsoft Softwair announce Hollywood Designer
Andreas Falkenhahn today announced the newest Amiga software product from Airsoft Softwair: Hollywood Designer. The program is a state of the art "what you see is what you get" editor to create presentations, games and applications for the Multimedia Application Layer Hollywood and will be released soon.

Hollywood Designer blasts the borders of the different Amiga platforms!

And now here are some screenshots of Hollywood Designer in action: Hollywood Designer will be released in versions for AmigaOS3, WarpOS, MorphOS and - as soon as it's ready - AmigaOS4.
