Amiga Society: list updates
The Amiga software and books list has been updated. Unfortunately there will be no update in the near future due to some health problems.
Schlachtfeld: There still is the problem that this game will not run on every Amiga. The reason for this behavior is still unknown but the hunt is going on.

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III v0.9a
Georg Hoermann has made a new update of VirusZ III, and the new update
is now available for download at all the Virus Help Team's homepages.
Here is some info about the update:
Name: VirusZ III v0.9a
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 58.365
Date : 20 May 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires: AmigaOS 2.04 or better, util/libs/ReqToolsUsr.lha,
util/virus/xvslibrary.lha, util/pack/xfdmaster.lha,
util/arc/xadmaster.lha (recommended), util/libs/DisLib.lha (optional),
News is VirusZ III v0.9a:
TODO Until final release version 1.00:
- Implement file and sector scanning inside
all types of disk- and
filearchives that xadmaster.library supports.
- Add device-based sector scanning.
- Add useful commands to ARexx port.
0.9a Changes/Additions since 0.99:
- Totally redesigned the file check. Now all
selected files/dirs are always scanned
without user interaction (exception: encoded
files) and just the important results get
listed. These can be reviewed at any time
to finally decide what to do with malicious
files.
The new concept has the following advantages:
(a) it's much faster (my SYS: partition gets
scanned in 2:16 min, the old scanner
needed 9:20 min; that's over 4 times
faster!);
(b) the Job Monitor (that's the name of the
new check-window) is fully prepared for
archive and sector checking, all this will
happen in just one window (NOT IMPLEMENTED
YET);
(c) less information that's not interesting
for the average user, just important things
get reported now (if you want to analyse
the files on your harddisk, just use a tool
like CheckX!);
(d) even disinfects damaged or encoded files as
far as possible;
(e) looks much better :-)
- Added a whole bunch of perfectly commented
snapshots sent by Todd A. Oberly. Thanks a lot!
- Added more snapshots sent by Michel Bagmeijer
and Ian Chapman. Again thanks!
(ps)

Tool: FSwatcher Version 1.4
There is an update of FSwatcher available. FSwatcher (FileSizeWatcher) lets you monitor the size of any given file. It can be used to check how many bytes of a download are already downloaded (for example Audiogalaxy).
Download: FSwatcher.lzx
History:
--------
Version 1.4 (19.05.02):
CHG: Changed the gauge format a little bit
("bps: xxx" to "xxx b/s"
NEW: Extended the both time values to display
also the hours (noticed while downloading
the pegasos video with wget;-)
CHG: Removed shell arg KB=ShowKilobytes/T,
its replaced by 'SizeMode'
NEW: New shell arg SM=SizeMode
It can be set to "KB" or "MB", to display
the current size and the filesize in Kilobytes
(divided by 1024!) or MegaBytes (divided by
1024*1024, with 3 numbers after the comma).
If its set to a different string, "bytes"
are used.
NEW: New shell arg Com=Command
This command will be executed if you press
the "!" button! You can use it f.e.
to play the currently downloading mp3 song!
Default is "s:FSwatcher.bat".
The 's' and/or 'x' bit have to be set, if
the command is a shell-script!
NEW: New shell arg ComCon=CommandConsole
This is used to specify a console window
where the output of the command is send to.
Default: CON:210/400/500/120/FSwatcher
action command/CLOSE. If you don't want a
window, use "ComCon = NIL:" w/o the quotes.
CHG: Removed the initialPattern (#?.mp3) from the
asl-req, cause every file could be downloaded,
not just .mp3s.

to a new network with a flatrate. So expect our server to be unreachable
from Wednesday 22nd of May until the IP addresses have changed everywhere.
If you need to access the machine anyway, its new IP address will be
195.143.191.17. Sorry for any inconvenience.

Amiga Future: interview with Matthias Gietzelt (author of Emperor)
"Emperor" is a kind of object orientated programming language for the Amiga that
is happily available for free (giftware) on the Aminet or directly from the
author. A good thing is also that the program is in continuous development by
the programmer Matthias Gietzelt and a version for MorphOS is already planned,
too. That's enough reason to get to know the person behind "Emperor" better and
ask for an interview. The interview was done by Anton Preinsack and can be found
following the title link.

Amithlon: second contribution archive released
On the Amithlon site (title link) of Bernie Meyer can the following message be
read:
New on 18th of May 2002: The second collection of new and enhanced patches is now
here available. Please ensure that you have read the (unfortunately only
in English available) README.
Download: amithlon_contrib2.lha
With these patches should the problems with Pentium4 systems and VESA
framebuffer drivers as well as crashes of PGP 2.6.3 be fixed.
Besides that, there's an experimental patch for ZIP and LS-120 drives.
According to Bernd Meyer (Amithlon ml) should you install at least the patch for
PGP (patch2_vec.o) as it may also fix other problems. The other patches are only
thought for those having the particular problem.
Especially the ZIP patch is only for ZIP users. (quoting Bernd: "The things it
does are *not* nice.")
