Due to the above mentioned problem we are not able to send our newsletter.

Still we do not know how long the repair will take.

The company Klaus Schallhorn Omnisearch proved that Google indicates so-called secure servers (ssl), too. Although they say that they do not. Meanwhile there are more then 3.8 million secure sites indicated by Google.

Even worse: Google announced that they are fully compliant to the robots.txt-standard but they definitly do not when indicating secure servers. The Google-spiders have already executed over 161,000 cgi-programs one or more times.

If you check the search results of corresponding requests you can find servers that forbid via the robots.txt access to the cgi-bin directory even under the top 10 results.

The features:

• High-quality icons in GlowIcon and NewIcon formats covering subjects such as applications, games, drawers, etc.
• GlowIcon style toolbars for some of the most popular programmes (YAM, AmigaWriter, Art-Effect, Directory Opus, IBrowse, Voyager and others).
• GlowIcon style skins for AmigaAmp and CoolCalc
• Workbench backdrops suitable for the GlowIcon look

Download: STRICQv2.lha
Please read the important installation hints.

Changes since last release:

1. Fixed a major error that involved a race condition in the IPC. A receiving task could actually check for data on the message port before that data actually arrived. The IPC now blocks until the message does arrive.
2. Fixed an error in that some messages would actually not be NULL terminated.
3. Now requests offline messages. If there are any, they won't be displayed! Hehehe...
4. I still need enforcer/cyberguard hits!!

Here is some info about the update:

Name: VirusZ III v0.97
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 50.208
Date : 2 March 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires : OS 2.04+, xvs.library

News in VirusZ III v0.97:

• Fixed bugs in window calculation code that caused the resizeable windows (Vector Check, File Check) to look ugly or to not open up at all. Thanks to Crown/Cryptoburners, DMX, Paracels/Placebo, Jan Andersen and Mad Roger for the bug reports...
• Moved size-gadget in resizeable windows from the right border to the bottom border (looks much nicer and takes less space on small screens) and re-fixed width of these windows.
• Re-added support for ALL disk-based devices to Bootblock Lab on special request from Mikolaj Calusinski. Are you happy now? :-)
• Added disassembler mode to the Bootblock Lab. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown bootblocks. Note: This feature requires 'disassembler.library' v40.x by Thomas Richter, you'll find it in Aminet...
• Made Bootblock Lab window resizeable as the disassembler output becomes quite big sometimes.
• Changed the file format for saving window positions. Sorry, but if you already had arranged your windows individually, you will have to position them all again and save the prefs afterwards.
• Started adding Sector Check (at least the device selector, the real check is not implemented yet, sorry for that :-(
• Added recognition for mmu.library patches to Vector Check and fixed some smaller problems.
• Finally wrote at least a short documentation for VirusZ III.

• Optimize File Check (output is much too slow, checking archives cannot be canceled at the moment).
• Add a fully working Sector Check.
• Add new features to Vector Check (eg. a brain for known ROMTags, a snapshot function for unknown patches [you can send me those snapshots and I add them to the brain]).
• Add disassembler mode to Memory Monitor.
• Add useful commands to ARexx port.

Furthermore has a new forum been installed. There's a poll in the Amiblitz area regarding this topic. The forum can be used as a place to go for Amiblitz programmers and for people who want to become programmers.

Further planned contents of the section:

• Complete users and reference manual in German.
• Tutorials and courses.
• An own distribution.
• Example source codes and much more.

Planned are extensions regarding the subject software troubles and of course for AmigaXL/QNX. The next thing I'll do is translating the review to English.

Required is much time as a game can take several hours and besides that one hould already know the game a little (or the old Civilisation game) as it is right complex.

The played version is 1.11.x as the 1.12.x for Amiga has too many bugs.

Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".

This interview is available in English, too.

Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate in this project, please contact Volker Grabbe for more information.

If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).

First there will be little but useful tools released. The DynDNS client ´AmiDynDNS´ was the first one and is available in version 0.9 at the download section. More sophisticated applications are scheduled.

DynDNS Client AmiDynDNS v0.9
AmiDynDNS is a command line based client or the DynDNS.org service. The new version fixes some bugs and implements many new functions.

• Complete DynDNS support (DynDNS, StatDNS, CustomDNS, and all options).
• SMC barricade router support (IP directly from DSL router).
• New config file format (optional), to take all the new options.
• Local IP addresses are scanned now.
• Current hosts will not be updated again (prevents hosts from being locked by DynDNS).

1. New beta version driver for scanner Primax Colorado Direct 9600 - PrimaxCD9600 v1.2 beta1. PrimaxCD9600 is driver for ImageFX, and use support for devices paralizer_epp.device (PARalizer card) and amth_epp.device (Amithlon)
2. Public beta version driver for Amithlon - amth_epp.device v0.5 beta 1. amth_epp working in EPP mode parallel port.

What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted. Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7 Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.

The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for "auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.

The whole ID3 informations are displayed in a HTML list. "MP3-2-HTML" has many more features, it is a very useful program.

Amiga Arena has talked with the young developer Gareth Griffiths, who is also working on a PD game "ShootOut". How important feedback is and which influence it has on further development of software is shown in this interview.

You can get it from the Aminet or from the title link under "other stuff".
