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........

MUI: NListtree V18.6 Beta 5
Carsten Scholling released beta version V18.6 Beta 5 of the MUI class 'NListtree'. This
class displays data in a tree structure. For this time the update contains bugfixes and
useful enhancements.
- Bugfix: Multiselection bug fixed, which allowed entries to be dropped on thier children entries (crash!)
- Bugfix: Position calculation rewritten. No more accidently deleted entries.
- Bugfix: Drop-Typ "Sorted" never occured
- Bugfix: Renaming the user field wasn't possible.
- Bugfix: MUIV_NListtree_Insert_ListNode_ActiveFallback (see Autodocs).
- Bugfix: Inserting open nodes into one closed leaded to wrong position calculation (reported by Luca 'Hexaae' Longone, thx)
- New: Second find method implemented (user field). This searching function is rather meant as a backup to have different
searching possibilities, if needed. (Hooks must not always be set again).
- New: MUIA_NListtree_ShowTree implemented (tree on / off). Useful for different sorting orders for which a tree structure maybe
isn't wanted.
- New: Spanish localisation by Javier de las Rivas.
- New: New Trigger-Attribute: MUIA_NListtree_SelectChange.

HTMLread v.48
Gunter Hinrichsen has released an update of 'HTMLread' on 17. December 2000 and
an update of the Genesis plug-in for HTMLread on 14. December.
HTMLread is an extension for the email client YAM that allows reading HTML mails. YAM
can't display e-mails written in HTML for now, as they are sent by Netscape,
Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails to a
HTML viewer.
Some changes have been made in the new version:
Two bugs were fixed, it's become smaller, condition images are supported, the
download manager now doesn't open his condition windows anymore when you're
offline, the downloadmanager now knows the option QUIET, better looking
condition GIFs and some more changes.
The Genesis plug-in toggles Genesis automatically on- and offline again for the

Marcus Neervoort with New URL
Marcus Neervoort's homepage is now reachable under the new URL
http://amigapage.de/. On his site there are
among other things informtion about the history of the Amiga, Fleecy Moss'
speech on the WoA 2000 and pictures of the WoA 2000 to be found.
The move became necessary as the web-space Neervoort needs to keep the page
running wasn't sufficient anymore at T-Online coupled with other providers of
web-space.

cooperation with an important company in the Amiga market, that also supports us
heavily on doing the MacIntosh version one can count indeed on three more
supported platforms:
Mac, Linux and also Amiga.»

aminetGUI is NOT offline
In some forums there is a rumor that says the aminetGUI and even the whole
AmiNET were offline. This is not true. he AmiNET as well as the aminetGUI are
online. Only the URL www.aminet.de is offline since the domainprovider has
problems. The current URL is
www.amiga-gateway.de/aminetgui/index.html.
All services of the GUI can be reached under this URL.
Alexander Kurtz, webmaster of the Aminet-GUI wrote: "I do not
intend to give up on this project.
Currently I lack the time to make all the changes I imagined to make, but I am
still working on it! I owe this to you, the Amiga community."

EASys! Update 4.8.4 and bugfix with OS 3.9
The update to version 4.8.4 of EASys! will be ready for 20.12.2000 at the
latest. User who bought the 4.8.4 CD-R package at the fair in Cologne don't
need that update anymore. But following things should be arranged with 4.8.4
CD-R package so OS 3.9 runs completely.
- rename the file EASys!:config/OS39_with_toolsdaemon to OS39_with_rexxmenu
- in file SYS:StartSys/e_WB/2_Toolbar (or 2_ToolManager_EASys) add one line
before the startup of the toolmanager:
wait 10
this is required because
an asynchron simultaneous start of AmiDock and ToolManager causes a bug.

New Sample-Set for WormsDC
Since Hyperion are taking their time for "Worms Armageddon" for the Amiga, I
have created a new sample-set with up to 90% of German samples for the old
"Worms - The Directors Cut" (try the "Suizid-Oma" or atomic bomb;)). This puts
the fun back into WormsDC :-). Caution: the set is approximately 3 MB large
(you need a lot of Fast-Ram to use the samples).

Trouble with Defective Crusoe Processors
NEC calls back notebooks
Shortly after notebooks with the Transmeta processor went on sale, they make negative
headlines. Because of defective chips, NEC calls back the sold notebooks.
NEC shipped the new notebooks La Vie XM. 284 in Japan for only a few days, now
they were called back because of defective processors. According to Transmeta,
the fault has already been fixed, the devices run without problem. Probably a
reaction to the defective chips: the stock market value of the processor manufacturer
dropped by 5.06 US$. Apparently, defective chips have also been built into the new
Sony Picture Books Vaio PCGCi VE. Other than NEC, the Japanese company does not
plan to call back the computers. An exact number of affected devices is not known
yet. US media speak of about 13,000. Sony offers free exchange of the notebooks if
difficulties with installing Windows appear.

SEGA in the red
(Irina Srebot) - Since the introduction of the Dreamcast console, the former hope
becomes a millstone round the company's neck. The Japanese company faces a financial
dilemma. Sega expects for the current financial year a loss of 193 million Euro.
Despite price reductions to stay competitive with Sony's Playstation 2, there's
no hope for a change. Analysts recommend Sega to concentrate on developing software.
Since March 2000, Sega sold profitably 30.2 million games.
Supplement 12-16-2000:
Accidently we coughed an elder message. On 12-12-2000
Heise reported that
contrary to what many experts expected Dreamcast sells very well after the release of
Playstation 2. So according to the manufacturer around Thanksgiving sells increased of 85% percent
compared to sells of the week before. Also Sega would profit from Sony's delivery problems in the case
of Playstation 2, said Peter Moore, president of Sega USA, in an interview with the news service CNET
on the Jupiter Entertainment Conference in Los Angeles, yesterday.
