System-Monitor: Sysmon V1.16
Etienne Vogt has released version 1.16 of his system-monitors.
Sysmon is a system monitoring and enhancing package based on a shared library
and Shell based support commands. It requires AmigaOS 2.04 or higher.
Installation of Richard Körber's Identify.library (util/libs/Identify.lha
on Aminet) is recommended if you want the Sysmon monitor to be able to
identify expansion boards.
If your Amiga has a MMU (Memory Management Unit), it is also recommended,
but not required, that you install Thomas Richter's mmu.library, available
from Aminet (util/libs/MMULib.lha).

CVS 1.11.1p1 AmigaOS-Port SSH-Update released
After two months since the first complete, ixemul.library indpendent release of
the AMigaOS port of CVS the authors (Olaf Barthel and Jens Langner) have released
a new update of the port.
In the last version the SSH support was missing and so some requests for an
implementation are send in. In this update it is fully integrated. So with this
version it is possible via SSH to check in/out directly from CVS servern. This is
needed fo example for Sourceforge-Accounts.
Besides many other important bugfixes since the last version now in this update
are processor optimized versions (020/030/040/060) contained, this should give
enhanced speed performance.
The latest version you will find here: http://amcvs.light-speed.de/

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.
