New feature of TCPScanner V0.40
Portscanning on the Amiga enters the next level, beside of UDP/TCP scanning the
TCP-Scanner now is capable of identscan, also, hence can learn which user has started
the service scanned. Additionally a rudimentary stealth technic was implemented to
the scan operation, making it difficult for portscan detectors to find portscans.
If the upload will work the program will be for download on Aminet under /comm/tcp/,
from tomorrow.

Midi: camd.library V40, CamdBnp-Tools
The camd library v40 as well as the CamdBnp tools for BarsnPipes were
released on the NSM page.
'camd' is a shared library for midi, which is part of the AmigaOS. Due to
several problems with the original one and because there was no camd.library for
AROS, this library was completely new programmed. This one should work like
the original one and was successfully tested with 'BarsnPipes' 'Radium', and the
'CAMD' toolkit.
An additional driver 'mmp' and a special camd midi driver for WinUAE are
available for download for this library.
The 'camdbnp.lha.zip' archive contains 64 tools for BarsnPipes, which should
simplify the communication with other programs. The 'camd library' is used for
this communication.
'camd40.lha' and 'mmp.lha' contains both binary and source code
(APL, AROS Public License). The includes are part of the AROS source code and
also available via e-mail.

GFX-BASE: poll results and font tutorial
On the GFX-BASE you can now find the results of our latest poll. We had 331
votes regarding our question which graphics board you use/own. Have a look
yourself to see which one got the most votes.
Additionally we have a new (English) tutorial. It's all about fonts. We
explain the use of different fonts and font tools as well as the conversion of
different font types that you can use on the Amiga. We also deal with webfonts and
the use of fonts in word processors.
And then we have received again some more entries of games and scene demos that support graphics cards. More to follow soon.
