VMC News
VMC would like to wish all of their customers a merry Christmas (the whole thing is available at the title link).

VMC-ISDN 2.99B100 Christmas update released
Attention! This is a commercial update. All features are available without a VMC-ISDN-license but the connection time is limited.

We will make a special offer to the owners of the original ISDN-Blaster-Z2. The following changes were made:

Speed-up of the interrupt-system witch made the whole thing a lot more stable. Problems with FUSION were removed and things like vlink.device are no longer necessary.

At the moment we are working on the next generation of VMC-ISDN. We will build in some interesting features like message transport over the D-channel and much more.
There are some screenshots of the new X-Phone version available at our VMC-ISDN product page.

HyperCOM 2.98 Christmas update
The new last non-commercial update for HyperCOM are available now. Two minor problems were fixed and the speed were increased.

AmigAIM BETA Version 0.9405 Released
As a Christmas Present - sort of, anyway...

The latest version has been uploaded to the normal locations, on the webpage and descriptions on the links section of the mailing list have been changed.

Extract from History of AmigAIM since Public Release...

History of AmigAIM since Public Release...
AmigAIM 0.9405 Beta (25 Dec 2000)
  • Added "Temporary" class of Buddy. If a message is received from someone not already on Buddy list, they are added to temporary status. If not moved from Temporary status to main list, Buddy is not saved when program is exited.
  • Colors for different types of messages in Message list added. (Incoming, Outgoing, Auto-Outgoing, Auto-Incoming, and System)
  • Prefs have capability of default color on Left or Right, or use of special colour on Left and Right for each Message.
  • Activity window now has the capability of having prefs set colors for display of status changes (Online,Offline and Away)
  • Single Window mode appears to work better now, as I have the window closed, changed than reopened after a change in prefs.
  • Issuing an ARexx command of QUIT FORCE now causes the client to close under most conditions without putting up any requesters (Even if prefs, etc haven't been saved)
  • Documentation in form of AmigaGuide document and MUIA_HelpNodes finally added to program, including documentation of part of ARexx interface.
  • Modified text input history system, now keeps history of last entry while cycling up/down through history. (Modification or reuse of old history entry will replace last entry)

XMas Edition of FormAldiHyd V1.2
today is XMas eve and therefore the day of presents. So quickly grab the new version 1.2 of FormAldiHyd from my homepage.

Changes:
  • V1.2 (24-Dec-00): (28860/13144 Bytes)
  • Released to my homepage and AmiNet.
  • Fixed the bugs with relative mouse movement (Cinema4D) and FlipX and/or FlipY enabled (thanks to Roger Petry for giving me the hint).
  • Reduced lower LMB Threshold limit from 13% to 1% on users request.
  • Added a second usable area slider for mouse only, so you can change between mouse and stylus on the fly and have a suitable acceleration for the mouse movements.
  • Range for the tablet was 1 pixel off set (minor flaw).
  • Iconify on startup did not work as stated in the manual (lazy me never tried it, sorry), so I added an option to iconify in the prefs.
  • Changed the GUI layout a little bit.
  • Added a FAQ to the guide.
  • Painted a nice MWB icon for FormAldiHyd. Does anyone want to design a NewIcon or GlowIcon?
  • Added a niffy logo to FormAldiHyd (sorry :) ).
  • Formalin now parses the ToolTypes and therefore can be started from Workbench without problems now.

Just a few minutes ago, Gerhard Müller sent an email to me, telling me that he has managed to get the Tablet working in conjunction with his MFCIII. Moreover, he has supplied me a patch that is included in this mail (thank you so much, Gerhard!). All users with MFCIII should try out this patch and see if it's any good and solves the problem.

So this will be the last update for this millennium. Enjoy your xmas holidays and happy new year! See you in 2001 :) And let's see who will notice a slight change in my geek code in a few days :-D

The Secret of Mount Monkey - a Canceled Devotee-Adventure
Sebastian Beloch wrote:
This project was started in 1998, but was canceled in the meantime. This demo version includes complete intro and parts of the first level (not playable). THE SECRET OF MOUT MONKEY is an adventure game in style of the old classic adventures by Lucas-Arts (e.g. Monkey Island, Indiana Jones, Day of the Tentacle, ....). The game combines the characters of these games building a new adventure game.

Guybrush Threepwood's daughter accepts the bid of Simon The Sorcerer to save the world, and has to supply several ingredients for his magic potion. She travels to foreign islands (MONKEY ISLAND), visits the Maniac Manison (DAY OF THE TENTACLE), stumbles into the comic strip worlds of Sam & Max as well as Leisure Suit Larry...

The demo in graphics strongly abutes to the old adventure games and is a must for all those who loves adventures.

The demo and screenshots are to find at the project section "Software-Projekte" on http://www.sebel-interactive.de/.

Since there were no new entries to the mailing list for about half a year, the list is closed, from now.

Support still is open via normal e-mail address of the author (achimste@gmx.de) or via hotline. Questions, suggestions, a.o. should be sent to the author directly.

From now on announcements and circular letters are exclusively sent to all registered DA3 customers or published on Amiga news sites.

I wish all Amigans a merry Christmas and a happy new millennium!!

At last, short before the holidays there is the full version of AmigaAMP 2.8. shoutcast streaming now definite works better, and some bugs could be fixed, too. Along with AmigaAMP v2.8 also a new version of the Plugin Development Kit is released. Now it is possible to get information on the AmigaAMP window for example to 'dock' your own plug-in graphics to it.

Christmas Greetings and News from ANNEX
ANNEX wish all of you merry Christmas and a happy new year.

Contrary to some rumours the group would have parted I would like to tell, that we are still there. We are well and waiting for strating shot for us to come back with new songs, a new performance and hopefully a great come-back of the Amiga next year.

Publishing a track on the new OS 3.9 hopefully was a clear sign that we are NOT to leaving behind the Amiga, but rather we are waiting for the things to continue. OS 3.9 also was a noticeable sign for a generative co-operation happened, at last.

I wish all Amiga users and most of all the programmers merry Christmas and a happy new year. Thank you for everything. Daniel "NX_LOKI" Schulz

Makers of Exodus Taken In by Swindler
Fun Time World wrote:
«The makers of the game "Exodus - Tha Last War" apparently were taken by a swindler. Mariuz Samson (Exodus) voiced on this problem in an article on the homepage of the Polish magazine eXec. The person in question, whose name wasn't mentioned, has also been responsible for the server problems due to which it partly was very difficult to download the demo version from the page. Similar problems also happened with e-mails which didn't always arrive. For the alleged hacker attack also the person in question has been responsible. Unfortunately the swindler was also able to read the e-mails sent to the group and possibly answered some of those.

If you happened to receive an e-mail with a reply-to address different from the following, so this one might be sent by the person in question: samsonm@poczta.onet.pl, darexodus@poczta.onet.pl, sland@skrzynka.getin.pl, and maybe also slandsales@go2.pl. Now you can reach the group under the following e-mail address: samson10@box43.pl

During his internship at Haage&Partner he developed the speed optimized ARexx interpreter "StormRexx" which but isn't finished, yet. For AmigaOS V3.9 he developed 'AmiDock', and for the AmigaSDK he released the MPEG player 'AmigaMPEGPlayer'. At the Neuss show he was able to present his "AmiCamedia" driver for digital cameras by Olympus.

At the download area from now on the new capi20.device, and the new isdnsurfer.device are available for download. The only change: capi20.device does no longer claim to be a demo version. This expiry of the software was meant to remind of updating. Unfortunately the deadline for further development was set too short.

By this we want to wish all of our customers, suppliers and business friends a merry Christmas and a happy new year.

iBrowse News
Middle of December on the support forum of iBrowse, which was hosted by www.senduptheflares.com/ and now doesn't exist no more it was to read that Stefan Burstroem, author of iBrowse has got a full time job, cause he wasn't able to exist from what he gains from iBrowse, any more.

Here the original message form the HiSoft forum:

«Unfortunately, after many, many years of hard work on iBrowse, Stefan Burstroem (the author of iBrowse) has been forced to get a full-time job. The revenues coming in from iBrowse sales simply are not enough to support worldwide marketing plus a salary for the author.

Although Stefan remains committed to iBrowse and the Amiga, it is difficult to see how he can take the product forward without help. And, even then, I cannot see how enough revenue will come to pay the people involved.

Please let me know if any of you have any ideas how this problem can be solved. David»

On the iBrowse product page at Hisoft (see title link) it is mentioned that it is absolute necessary to have a look at the demo version of iBrowse before registering, to be sure that the browser fulfils your needs. According to Hisoft so much changes have happened to the internet, that Amiga browser cannot keep up, any more.

Here the original text:

«The latest version of the Amiga's premier web browser.
Note that the Internet has moved on and the Amiga has not kept up, so some modern websites are not accessible on the Amiga because they require software that is not available for the Amiga. Therefore, before you purchase an iBrowse 2 keyfile please ensure that you have downloaded the evaluation version and satisfied yourself that iBrowse 2.2 is suitable for your requirements.»

Conclusion: At this time further development of iBrowse is not to expect. But at eGroups still a discussion forum for iBrowse users is available: http://www.egroups.com/group/ibrowselist.

Holiday Executive Update from Bill McEwen

December 23, 2000
Executive Update - Looking Back

Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to one and all:

Wow, have we been a blessed company. On December 27, 1999 we executed our agreement with Gateway, and January 3rd 2000 was our first day of business.

In one year we have been able to release an upgrade to the AmigaOS (3.9, with our partners Haage and Partner), we have announced and released two versions of the SDK for the New AmigaDE (Digital Environment), we have released the AmigaOne specification and announced two partners in building these new machines, (bPlan, and Eyetech).

Yes this has been an amazing year.

As we look back upon these last 12 months, there have been many lessons learned, and it is with these new lessons that we will be moving into 2001, with clear focus, and numerous new announcements and deals. Yes, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will be great fun for Amigans around the world, for it is here that the rest of the world will begin to learn what you already know! :-)

At this time of remembrance and thanks, we are also reminded of our friends that we have lost. Coz, Bob Cosby is very missed and we think of him, and pray daily for his wife Marsha. It has been the most sobering event for Amiga, and it helped us to remember that Family is what makes Amiga great. We are looking to add many new members to the Amiga family this year.

This year has been hard for us in other ways also: the stock market has certainly hindered our ability to raise the capital we wanted to accelerate our plans, and many of us have had to endure financial hardships making the dream of Amiga a reality. The Amiga team is together, and moving ahead quickly towards this new and exciting year.

I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support and for everyone hanging in there with us.

We are truly a blessed company.

I want to personally wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a very Happy New Year.

God Bless,
><> Bill McEwen ><>

With this entry in the amiga news, we would like to thank you for the many visits and the great support.

The last year has brought quite some changes to those working on the web. Even at us, the PC and thus Flash5 have made their entrances - which doesn't mean that we will leave or neglect the Amiga sector. On the contrary: there's something planned in the Amiga sector for next year, you'll be pleasantly surprised!

A special thanks to the AMIGA-NEWS-TEAM. Always reliable and latest informations. Thanks also to Stefan Kost (SOUNDFX) and Patrick Meng (SYMPHONIEPRO) for the uncomplicated co-operation.

We wish all who read this pleasant Christmas days and a successful and purposeful year 2001. Your 2IDs.TEAM

Amiga Extreme takes a break
«Amiga Extreme will be closing for a while. This is because I feel that I don't have the motivation to continue the site, and the fact that there's almost nothing to post, I don't see much of a point in updating. There are better sites for that (Amiga.org and Czech Amiga News for example).

Once again, this is not the end, it's just the end for Amiga Extreme on the classic platform. The next time Amiga Extreme will open is when the AmigaONE release is closing in on us and when there's some real news for the new platform. I'm already working on a new design and have lots of ideas for the new AE.

Also, the e-mail addresses will still be up, so you can mail me at syke@amigaextreme.com. More info will be posted when it's time. I have no plans to leave the Amiga platform, and I'm confident that the new Amiga platform will be successful. Your sincerely - Stefan "Syke" Falk - webmaster@amigaextreme.com.»

Back to the Roots Amiga-News 226
Christmas is near and again another year has passed. Therefore "Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) brings you some nice presents in form of some wonderful classic Amiga games - as always for free and with permission!

The companies Dynamix and Digital Integration are supporting our project now, too so the flight simulations Red Baron, F-16 Combat Pilot and Tornado are now online. Also the great adventure games Space Quest 1 (the remake!), Colonel's Bequest, Code name: Iceman and others like Thunderhawk, Wonder Dog, Vroom and Warhead!

There are interviews with the legendary Scene-musicians "Jester/ Sanity" and "Clawz/Bomb" online, too! Both are telling some interesting news, not only for music lovers. As usual there were also tons of Scene-demos, pictures and modules from Amiga games and the demo scene added.

We'd like to thank all our visitors for their support during the last year and send greetings to all companies and people who helped us to keep the classic stuff alive. We wish you all a merry X-mas and a happy new year.

  • FREEWARE

Innovations in Emperor version 3.5:
  • Display of scroll- und slider gadgets reworked
  • Finnish catalog support
  • Program environment for configuration of version, author, program name, stack, memory check, and much more added
  • GadgetHelp for own programs: easily connect a gadget to configure this feature
  • Function [delete menu-edit-list] added
  • GadgetHelp for almost any gadget (more than 600 online help files)
  • Editing of the include list possible
  • New startup picture added (thanks to Janne Peraäho)

The program is available as version 3.5 from the Aminet directory dev/c.

Matthias Gietzelt wishes the entire Amiga community a merry Christmas and a happy new millenium.

MainPrefs 2.0 Released
For those who want to change environment variables, easily change configuration files such as s:startup-sequence or start the OS preferences programs in a predictable way, now can do all of this with MainPrefs V2.0. New in the program is the possibility to change assigns, and an Italian catalog by Arturo Franzin.

The program requires OS3.5, cause it has a Reaction GUI. It shall be available from Aminet from the next update, but from now also on the homepage under the title link. The programmer Martin R. Elsner makes efforts to further enhance the program and is open for new suggestions.

ANN: Fleecy Discussing
Michael wrote: «Each one who is not perfectly aware of the intentions and attitudes of Amiga Inc. might be interested in the long discussion at ANN (see title link - ca. 350 kB).

Even if it might never happen and MorphOS assumedly would be the better choice, so it might be interesting with Fleecy Moss' statements there in mind for once to consider the "50,000-copies"-edge to be the promise of a solid 4.0 PPC under active headship by Amiga Inc. Contrary to the suspicion this might only be an unsocial lure to gain more income, cause I initially took it by this, too.

It's a pity that always only hard discussions and impeachment generate clarifying answers from Amiga Inc. or other companies. In this case regarding the 50,000 copies promise.»

Heise: Background details: Microsoft are Stricken
«Crippled due to the cartel case, tantalized by cracker's attacks, and trailed by the general downwards trend of the PC branch the software giant from Redmond now starts to paddle hectically. Because the signs are indicating storm: For the first time after ten years and for the second time in the company's history at all Microsoft had to call out a profit caution for the current quarter. PC sales in the otherwise so opulent Christmas business are stagnating worldwide, thus the best income source stops bubbling the way Bill Gates' crew was used to. After all, almost a third of volume of sales Microsoft draws from the fact that vendors sell PC's along with Windows or other products by Microsoft.»

VirusHelp Denmark: Virus Warning
Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will only execute it self if you have named your hard-disk "DH0" & "DH1". The trojan is spread in and archive with the name "DKG-BLUM.LHA". If you run the "DKG-BLUM.exe", the trojan will replace your c:loadwb with another loadwb (size: 3560 bytes) and replace c:assign with another assign (size: 2408 bytes), and the screen will tell you that there is not enough memory, and you will have to restart, then it looks like the trojan will delete DH1:.
The trojan also adds or replaces 2 other files, "LIBS:asi.library" & "DEVS:ASI.device".

The cure right now (If you have lost your DH1: to bad......), then replace the trojan files with clean ones, here is the trojan sizes:

c:loadwb ( 3560 bytes) c:assign ( 2408 bytes) libs:asi.library (24548 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file) devs:asi.device ( 2408 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file)

Here is some info about the infected archive:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Archive name.. : dkg-blum.lha
Archive size.. : 28.535 bytes (lha packet)

This archive has been send to all the antivirus programers.....

Thanx to Peter Gordon & Urban for the info and sending the archive to us........
