IRC-Kanal for AmigaOS XL-User
To relief other channels and to give a quick assistance for problems there will be an own IRC channel:
Channel: #AOS_XL-Help
IRC-Server: irc.belwue.de
Port:6667
This is not a steady channel and I cannot promise that you will find every time someone there. But I will keep it open as long as I am online.

VNC: zvnc V.1.1
David Gerber has released version 1.1 of his VNC client "zvnc"
on 28. December 2001. Following the changes:
- Bugfix: Port- and cx_priority arguments were not
observed.
- New: Documentation extended with more FAQ entries.
"zvnc" is a small
VNC-Client
without display support (for controlling a second machine with monitor).
The advantage of "zvnc" are a minimum of data to be send via the network,
because the graphics data are not applied. That makes control by mouse and
keyboard very straight.
The archive contains versions for AmigaOS 2.x / 3.x, and MorphOS.

Telepolis: Lifelong imprisonment becaus of distribution of unused machine time?
In this article Birgitte Zarzer reports about the system administrator David McOwen,
who provided unused machine time of several computers of the University of Georgia to
distributed.net, and thereby catched harshly
trouble in return. He will face court in January and possibly will catch very long
lasting imprisonment.
There are also many Amiga users helping distributed.amiga.org
to crack the RC5 key. This worldwide competition is about to crack a 64bit key by calculating all of the
18.4 trillons of possibilities. One can provide unused computing capabilities of the own machine for this
matter by using some specified software.
In case you are utilizing "foreign" machines for this, after reading this article you appear to be adviced
to raise a written permission.
See title link for the Telepolis article (German).

clickBOOM: Defender of the Crown - S-File 15
Defender of the Crown (for Windows and MAC) is basically finished. It is currently being tested
against bugs. In the last few weeks we added a whole new type of game
play to it -- missions. Basically, if you accept, and fulfill a mission,
you get a reward during the game. Missions range from defeating a certain
lord, to rescuing damsels, etc. Rewards can be additional gold, soldiers,
and more. It plays very nice and adds a whole new dimension to the tried
and tested original Defender game play.

Computer club: APC&TCP dissolved (Update)
On 23rd December 2001 APC&TCP announced officially that the computer club APC&TCP
was dissolved. The APC&TCP distribution continues to exist.
(ps)
(Translation: rh)
Update 31. December 2001:
Kilian Servais, issuer of the APC&TPC disk magazine NoCover (German) wrote to the German comments on this article:
Hi!
Dissolving of the club in deed is not that tragical, because the only service, which alwas has been taken consequently, was the NoCover. Meantime this became freeware and everybody, who would like to, can registert to the email distribution list free of charge - just send an email to kilian@apc-tcp.de!
In the times of Internet and email a club, like the APC&TCP has been, only makes sense in a very limited way, anyway, cause the Community will stay alive in any case. All users without Internet account can get the NoCover on floppy disk, as well. Due to the club dissolving the yearly charge slipps, but though we will try to offer as much services as possible.
So, at heart dissolving of the club is no step back but a step forward. The NoCover can get well as freeware, Andreas can concentrate on the Future (German Amiga games magazine), etc., etc.. So people: We'll keep at it!! What ever may come!!

In his article Torsten Kleins talks about the return of one million AOL CDs
planned by Nomoreaolcds from a
completely different point of view.
»Christmas is the time for giving. Our cupids get extensively packed
presents from indoctrinated salespersons, donation collectors leave houses
with filled collecting boxes, even postmen and garbagemen - sorry: post deliverers
and garbage technicians become the target of our lordliness.
But there are only a few companies as involved with the latter two professional guilds
as AOL is. What the fist one puts into our postpoxes in exhausting legwork the second one
comes to pick it up shortly after: AOL CDs. It is the time to say thank you to the
friendly provider from America. Let us send a parcel to AOL.«

Individual Computers: xsurfadsl.device Snowflake-Bugfix
A new update of the PPPoE-driver for our networking card X-Surf can be
found in the support-area of our website. The last bug in the core
routines has been removed, so a connection to the internet is stable
at full transfer rates for several hours. Since this version has only
been tested shortly, it remains in beta state. The archive contains
an English readme file for the first time.
The driver is free for owners of the X-Surf ethernet card. It lets
you connect to DSL and cable modem services that use the
PPPoE-standard without the need to buy expensive additional software.
In Germany DSL is marketed as T-DSL by the Deutsche Telekom, but
smaller providers like 1&1, Hansenet and some local services also
offer this broadband technology.
We want to remind our German customers of the new terms and
conditions at the Telekom: If you order DSL before January 1st,
you'll get the DSL modem for free. After that, you'll have to
pay 119,95 EUR for the modem! (ps)

instead of the old pens method. EvenMore will automatically allocate
these and shaded pens of that colour for the bevelled edges of the GUI.
I have created a new ProWrite2text conversion plugin. All plugins are
now updated, to now show which plugin is being used for the current file
using the keyword %pl in the info bar string.
Also, Russian and Portugues catalogs now available courtesy of Raul Silva
