VirusHelp Denmark: New Informationen on New Trojan
I have received some new info about the new trojan that was found on the 27'th of December. It is spread in an archive with the name "dcs-4k.lha". But the demo group have nothing to do with this new trojan. We have also been told that it is a guy from England and that he also made the "dkg-blum.lha" trojan, his name and address is known to Virus Help Denmmark. Thanks to Mikko for the new info.

Here once more the full information on the new archive (we had posted these on 12/27/2000 already):

Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will delete your "sys:" if you run the program. At this time non of the anti-virus programs can detect this trojan, but in the next update they will be known.

The cure right now (If you have lost your SYS: to bad......), then you will have to try and get the files back with eg. DiskSalv, AB-Tools or VT-Schutz.

Here is some info about the infected archive:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Trojan name....: 4KIntro.exe
Trojan size....: 4096 bytes (packed with StoneCracker 4.04)
: 6072 bytes (un-packed)
Archive name.. : dcs-4k.lha
Archive size.. : ? (Not known yet)

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

Thanx to Ryben Kozlak for the info and sending the archive to us..

Visitor #2,000,000 on amiga-news.de
Last night, the 2,000,000th visitor came to our website. Joe has sent us a screenshot of the 'event'. A proud number for 27 months. This turns out about 74,074 visitors per month, with rising tendency. Currently, between 6,000 and 8,000 readers visit us per day!

This is the opportunity to thank you for this great acceptance. We are very happy, especially about the fact that more and more programmers, developers, and readers take the chance to enter news in our Amiga News Forum (ANF) themselves.

As you certainly know, we are a team of Amiga users who invest a large amount of their spare time in this project. That's exactly why we are happy about your feedback and of course most of all about every support, as without all your help, amiga-news.de wouldn't have emerged to what it is today: one of the best news services for the Amiga :).

Picasso96 Driver for Mediator
Sufficient demand for Picasso96 drivers for Mediator provided, that is about 300 registered users (specify Mediator for purpose when registering), in case of need we will purchase a complete developer- and test-system with our own funds, and then create own drivers for diverse PCI graphics boards. This drivers will then be of quality known form us.

But Elbox mentioned to us that they already would have shipped two systems to Germany for other driver development (CGX). Well, it would be in our terms to provide us one of these. To charge UPS with delivery cannot cost the world.....

Another problem would be accessing the API of the Mediator system's pci.library. Elbox provides this only for NDA, though they don't feel themselves to be bound to such concinnities, see their unauthorized Voodoo3-P96 driver...
If they would refuse us to access this, of course this would raise a certain problem which could lead to slightly delays.

Supplement 12-29-2000:
Tobias Abt via eMail:
Afterwards we got the information that this developer system provided to the CGX team was distributed by Vesalia, but financed by Elbox.

Amiga Arena in co-operation with Frank Abbing enables all of the shareware / freeware games developed for Amiga by UAC Design to be offered for download! These games are not available from Aminet!

Olaf Koebnik is especially exited about the full version of board game port "Risiko" to be available for the first time at Amiga Arena. Appropriate to the quiz fever the game "Awaking" makes the opening! Awaking is a quiz game such as 'Jeopardy&180;, 'Riskant' or 'Der grosse Preis'.

FBlit v3.73xms
It was published a new test version of FBlit v3.73xms on 22nd of December 2000. FBlit patches some OS functions normally using the blitter, such that these can use the CPU and don't have to operate inside chip-mem.

The patched functions are also faster and non-interleaved data will suffer less from colour flickering .

Additionally non-displayalbe bitmaps can be put in fastram for named tasks. The new version contains various minor changes to v3.69b.

Do you also have the game Max Rally from Aminet Games, Aminet Set 10 or Aminet 36, and it just doesn't work? Here is the solution: On the above mentioned CD-Roms explode.library is missing! This can be downloaded e.g. from Aminet (util/libs/explode-7.lha) and unpacked to your own libs directory. Good playing.

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.

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/.

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.

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

Christmas Greetings and Gifts from Katodev
It is Christmas at KATODEV, too. Over the month users' wishes cumulated here. It is hardly possible to fulfil all of those, but at least some hopefully interesting things for you are to find on our table with gifts. But, details will not be released before the days after Christmas; and now at last also a somehow newer webpage. Well, stop working now, it's time to have a break....

Merry Christmas to all of you! Also greetings to China, where a third of the current Kato team is located now. Joern Plewka, Thorsten Hansen.

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

Christmas and new year wishes from Stefan Robl
Under the above title link Stefan Robl (AmiDock, AmigaMPEGPlayer) does not only wish a merry Christmas and a happy new year, but also recalls his Amiga year 2000.

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.

Individual Computers: ISDN Surfer Driver V1.938
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 ><>
President CEO Amiga, Inc,
bill@amiga.com.
