startup. Fixed.
- If you have an unknown patch and then run a program with a known
patch, the patch window pops up with the same unknown patches.
No need for that. Fixed.

checking memory/patches. Fixed.
- Added "real" name to Shell programs in 'Show tasks'.
Thanks to Harry Sintonen for the code.
- Fixed bug in dos.library LVO-names.
- Added czech catalog. Thanks to Roman Brychta.

Thanks to Joerg Riemer for finding this hit.
- Added recog for hidden executable files inside installer scripts.
- Added hunk structure check of VirusExecutor.
- Fixed hit in the memory monitor when RAM has no name.
Thanks to Harry Sintonen for finding this hit.

Draco: Interest in PPC and Grafikkarte?
Alex Goedert wrote:
Hello!
I am currently making some inquiries about how much you out there are interested in a new fast, high-resolution graphic board
and/or a faster CPU-addon-card with a UW-SCSI controller for the DRACO-system.
A hardware developer must have some strong evidences that his developments will be bought after the release. I think that
everyone knows that such a development is expensive and time consuming.
I would like to please everyone who is interested in these devices to mail me.
Please do not discuss if it is worth it.
Furthermore the follwing would be a great help:
- wiring of the DRACO-tower or DRACO-cube
- Volunteers that make theire DRACO-systems available for hardware-development
- People able to give some programming aid
Thanks a lot
Alex

Project for a better datatypes system
Martin Machiels is planning a project to develop an enhanced datatypes system.
Beside of other things the current one misses streaming support. Furthermore other
features are missing in the library as well as in Multiview.
Beside of the enhancements to the basic system new datatypes (read and write) for
currently not supported formats as well as for new formats like MPEG-4 shall be
developed, too.
The new system should be backwards compatible and run on AmigaOS V3.x, V4.x,
MorphOS, AROS, and Amithlon. The datatypes.library of the AROS project might be
a starting point.
Regarding organization Machiels has a project at
Sourceforge in mind.
People interested to participate in this project might contact Martin Machiels via e-mail:
darklite@beer.com.

Some new information abot the Amiga meeting taking place right now in Bad
Bramstedt:
The webcam there is now working. Going to www.amigameeting.de automatically opens a small popup
window showing a new picture every minute.
Important for AWeb users: switch off the function 'suppress banner window' in
the browser settings/'1 options' as it won't work otherwise.
Additionally will more pictures of the meeting be released on the homepage.
Mister Dellert from DCE arrived at around 12.15 h and just puts up two
computers with G-REX PCI board. People here are already eager about the things that
will be shown on these systems later.
There's also an interview with Mr. Dellert planned later that will be released,
too.
Torsten Gruner, Thorsten Hansen and Jörn Plewka from KATO
Development are at the meeting and show Amithlon live. The interested user may
take a picture of the power and the possibilities of the AmigaOS under Amithlon
on up-to-date PC hardware.
The Amithlon co-developer Thorsten Hansen, from KATO, will introduce his own
developing system and is fond on answering questions by interested users.
People who want to visit the meeting taking place until Sunday midday are
very welcome.

Library: vapor_toolkit V15.11
On 7. October 2001 version 15.11 of the 'vapor_toolkit' library was released.
The vapor_toolkit.library is a library of support functions which
are used by most Vapor applications and thus can be shared to
reduce individual application code size. Changes since version 15.8:
- more error checking in the library initialization (Zapek)
- optimized memory usage for some functions (Zapek)
- added "html" as built-in file extension (Zapek)
- rewrote MIME handling functions. Much faster and more efficient (Zapek)
- fixed a potential crash from VAT's ARexx handler (Zapek)
- fixed the saving path of MIME entries not being always set :o) (Zapek)
- fixed the ARexx handler task crashing when the library was flushed then
reloaded again (Zapek)
- fixed MIME extensions list which would only add the first one of each
mimetype :o) (Zapek)
- fixed screwup in the class dir handling :o) (Zapek)

AROS: Status report (MorphOS, Amithlon, H&P, Amiga)
On the 9th of October 2001 Aaron Digulla, AROS, has published the following status report of AROS (which is an open source project for implementing of a portable, AmigaOS-compatible operating system) on the AROS-announce-mailinglist:
«Hello,
A long time since the last update but I can proudly reply that I keep the web
site uptodate, now :-)
Here is a short roundup what has happened since the last update:
Parts of AROS are used in the MorphOS product. MorphOS gets some shared
libraries which they need and we get patches to make Amiga software work :-)
Two members of the MorphOS team, namely Nicholai Benalal and Emmanuel Lesueur
have CVS write access and they have started to submit patches. All in all, a
very good deal on both sides :-)
Amithlon (Harald Frank) has also asked if they can use our sources and we gave
them the same deal that MorphOS got. Still, no patches on this side. As I see
it, Harald and Bernie are drowning in work :-) Good luck to them !
Neither H&P nor Amiga have asked to use our source in any of their products. I
expect them to know what they do. The times when I tried to "enlighten" others
are in the past :-) Good luck to them, also.
On the AROS side, I can say that we have achieved a lot ! At the time of
writing, the AROS CVS repository is 66MB and the contributed sources are 90MB.
Commits are very frequent (in the last few weeks, there was almost no day when
no one committed some of their work), so AROS is more healthy than ever.
And the range of software which we have is also quite impressive: We have
ported the version of DOpus which you can find on Aminet (yeah, that's old). We
have Radium (http://www.notam.uio.no/~kjetism/radium/),
a note editor which can
also play the songs you edit with it. We have a CDROM driver, the editor XDME
(which was written by me) was ported last Sunday in about 8h of work (mostly
fixing ghastly code which DICE did compile for reasons unbeknownst to me ;-)
and Python (http://www.python.org/),
the first programming language for AROS.
We also have a couple of prefs programs (Font, Locale, ReqTools, Serial) now.
While AROS still lacks a lot of things and a lot of code is, well, doing only a
fraction of what the original AmigaOS can do, it's still impressive to see how
far we did get and that gives me a very good feeling what I look into the
future. AROS Native/x86 is getting more and more stable and when a bug in the
trackdisk.device is fixed (it's *very* slow) and a feature is implemented (it
doesn't support the diskchange signal, yet, so you cannot run the demos on the
contrib floppy disks), you won't only be able to boot into an AmigaOS-like
system on your PC but you will at least be able to edit some prefs, save them
to disk and write some texts with XDME.
Our now home might lack fancy colors and designer chairs but it certainly
begins to feel like Amiga :-)
Have fun !» (sd) (Translation: dr)

AROS: Floppies (FAQ), XDME, Python, FPU-Bug
Aron Digulla extended the AROS-FAQ with entries about the use of
floppy drives
in UAE and AROS as well information about the
IRC channell for AROS.
Furthermore he has started to port the editor 'XDME' which was almost
finished. 'XDME' gets compiled and linked successfully - but crashes after
it was launched. This would be fixed soon.
Thanks to Kjetil Svalastog Matheussen Radium is now playing.
Adam Chodorowski corrected the installation of Python (programming language).
The runtime modules were not copied.
Georg Steger corrected the long existing FPU bug. The FPU wasn't initialized correctly
and task switching between FPU and non-FPU tasks could crash AROS. There also was a certain
error in the routine for removing a task. Steger added the missing character modes in graphics.hidd.
The private field 'initialfont' of the IntWindow structure was removed (that's what IFont in the Window
structure is for). Notification between slider and list-view gadget is more secure now.
