Google: Entire Usenet Archive Available Now
In February the search engine Google took over the Usenet service from Deja.com (Dejanews), but only integrated parts of it into the search engine. Google now has integrated the entire Usenet archive beginning from 1995 and by that enables searching in 650 million of messages (over 1 terabyte of communication).
Until the middle of May it should be possible to post messages to single news groups on the Usenet via Google Groups.

As already known by many people one can register the decrunching system XAD for a new archive format by writing an own client. Since XAD is also distributed along with OS3.9, now, Dirk Stoecker offers a little extra item. Somebody doing something valuable for XAD (as Stuart Caie, Andrew Bell or Ronald van Dijk already did) will receive a free OS 3.9 CD (and of course an own keyfile, too). This work can be such like new and valuable clients, a great new program or ......

Tales of Tamar


50 Additional Beta Testers for T.o.T. Wanted
50 additional beta tester are being looked for Tales of Tamar, which is an internet-based round game for Amiga, Atari, Linux and PC developed by Eternity Entertainment Software. With the new version v0.35 the player is able to "annex land" for the first time.

By annexing land your empire becomes larger and the proportion between raw material and population will change enormously. We will see that the high prices for weapons and arming will go down at the markets and will even out on a normal level. And we will see how countries will be formed and rulers occupy Tamar.

Annexing is nothing different than leading war which is the fight against the original inhabitant of a country. To that function Tales of Tamar offers an efficient fighting machine. It assesses armed forces in over 50 points and then let the armies fight against each other to the rules of the mediaeval fighting strategy.

That fighting machine take note of the following aspects:
  • Arming
  • Weapons
  • Second weapons
  • Experience
  • Training
  • Cavalry
  • Armies with missiles
  • Ratio of troops
  • Morality
  • Surroundings
  • Race
  • Exhaustion

Virus Help Denmark: VirusExecutor V2.14
With this update of VirusExecutor V2.14 the new virus "BOBEK" can be deleted from memory and detected in files. But there is actually no routine to repair infected files. That means you have to replace the infected files.

More information:
  • Name: VirusExecutor v2.14
  • Archive name: VirusExecutor.lha
  • Archive size: 266.569 Bytes
  • Release date: 24. April 2001
  • Coded by: Jan Erik Olausen
  • Requires: xvs.library (enthalten), xfdmaster.library, reqtools.library, xadmaster.library
News in v2.14
  • Fixed enforcer hit when adding files from SYS:WBStartup
  • When Enforcer or CyberGuard is running the MMU: text turns blue.
  • Using xadmaster.library for extracting archives.
  • Improved Bastard file checking a bit
  • Added memory checking and file checking for Bobek link virus. Please wait for a new update of the xvs.library for removals of the Bastard and Bobek virus...
  • Shows only the diskdrives that you have.
  • Removed the requester 'VirusExecutor is already running'. When starting VE when VE is already running the screen just comes to front and gets active.
NOTE!

Because of the new Bobek virus I had to release this version of VirusExecutor. Hope it works with the xadmaster.library ;)

Virus Help Denmark: New Link-Virus Found
A new link-virus has been found, the installer is still unknown, we are looking for it. This new virus will add 460 bytes to every file that is opened or executed. That also means that even an antivirus program (that the virus is unknown to), will infect every file it checks for virus. The new virus patches dos.library ExNext function to spread it self. The new virus has been given the name "BOBEK", this is the text you can read in the end of every infected tile.

Okay, here is what we know so far:

Archive name : ?
Archive size : ?
Virus name : BOBEK
Virus size : 460 bytes
Infection : dos.library ExNext

At this time no anti-virus program can find this new virus, so take big care out there. We are right now testing a beta version of the anti-virus program VirusExecutor, that will be able to find the virus and to remove it from memory.

If you find or have the installer for this virus, please send it to me.

ppclibemu is an emulation of the ppc.library and the PowerUp kernel under WarpOS by Frank Wille. An own ELF-LoadSeg patch is contained and therefore allows it many (some?) PowerUp applications to start like under the original environment. Programs that work don't show any significant speed loss. Some are indeed faster than on the original kernel.

John Sinclair Lexicon for Amiga?
Some time ago the publishers at BASTEI released a lexicon CD-ROM about the most successful horror series in the world, "Ghost hunter John Sinclair" by Jason Dark. The CD-ROM bases on HTML and would therefore for AMIGA users interesting, too. Indeed many changes would have to be done in the source code so that 'Amiga Society' likes to find out via a poll whether there's existing enough interest in this fantastic CD-ROM and whether the AMIGA browser optimization would be worth it.
