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.

On December 15th, 2000 Bernd Bernie Meyer has released a service pack for the
'Ipswich Town' version of 'UAE-JIT' for Linux/386, which is an Amiga emulator.

general addresses those who had problems with the previous version in using
or compiling it. A detailed list of changes made are to find in the
WHATSNEW-JIT-Text.
This version is available as Linux/x86 binary for glibc V2.1 or glibc V2.0 in form of
complete source code or source code patch for the
UAE V0.8.15

TechReview: Ten Passed Technologies
«Not every disappearing technology deserves that fate. Sometimes the
"losers" have an elegance and simplicity the "winners" lack. Here are
ten examples.»
In the article Amiga is mentioned as third along with the picture of an Amiga 1000.
Nick Montfort talks about the Amiga's good multitasking - but now which is being implemented
in MacOS X - and other good features we don't want to miss on our computers. It is also
mentioned that an new Amiga is already under construction.

New InstallerNG
I have uploaded a new version of InstallerNG to the support page (and to Aminet).
A stupid bug in the message system of the built-in BOOPSI GUI has been fixed, and
new is the CALL-PLUGIN function which allows the user to implement own functions
in InstallerNG by a typed API and to use it from a script. Example source code for
this as well as for all of the other API modules are included.

Bonds v1.78 BETA3 with New Homepage
Sven Droege wrote:
The users of the financial software Bonds had to count on long waitstates for
updates. Since today there's a new homepage under the known address
www.programmed-excellence.de
online. Through a server change the access probabily should be improved
drastically. Besides that there's a new update v1.78 BETA3, which only contains
some small bugfixes. Additionally for registered users there's now the tool
"quotations updater", that can be used to update quotations also without Bonds.
The email-address of the author has also changed. It's now

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
download of web-images.
