Computer-Shop Ulbrich
After some problematic organizational and spatial reconstructions the
Computer-Shop still exists. The new adress is
Bornholmer Street 81, D 10439 Berlin, Phone +94 - 30-445 11 70 and Fax
+49 - 30-44 650 726. The webpage is still under construction but
I will be there for my existing customers with the new product range
too, as before.
I beg your pardon for any delay or other problems (caused by the move)
you may have. You can find my private homepage
here.

Survey PPC/G3-Expansion Cards and OS for PPC
We (that is A4EP) just launched a survey about PPC at our Amiga-Society-Page. We want to find out how big the interest in
PPC-Expansion Cards and OS's is. The main thing ist to unveil what power they should offer and how expansive they could be.
Especially for a new Amiga-PPC-OS it would be interesting to find out what requirements you make on the new system.
We hope that many of you will help us and we will publish the meanresults in regular intervals at our webpage.

New Virus Circulating
This infromation addresses all users who recently purchased The "Techno DataBase 00" CD.
On that CD there are miscellaneous installscripts for different applications. Obviously with that
a new and potential dangerous virus gets installed, too. After installation and rebooting the system
it starts like hell. During loading the SetPatch command inside Startup-Sequence the system hangs all
the time.
Affected files: datatypes.library - SetPatch - Installer
Presumably more other files on the system partition are affected. Unfortunatly I lacked time to
check this out, so far. Trying to remove the virus with VT3.17 failed, cause VT could not find
the virus. :-(
For those who are already affected the following advice:
Switch off your Amiga.
Hold down both mouse-buttons and switch on your Amiga to come to the startmenue.
Boot with no Startup-Sequence.
Edit your Startup-Sequence like follows:
;C:SetPatch QUIET
This causes SetPatch not to get executed during startup, whereby the system can be started in some degree,
again. It is possible that that virus is not widely spread yet, due to the fact that the CD comes from
the French part of Switzerland were it was burned, too.

Heise: Counterstatement on "c't repels 'Licence-Extortion'
The lawyer Freiherr von Gravenreuth lays claim on a counterstatement on the message of heise online released on 07/07/2000.
With this he refers on that Heise releases with this article
the following allegation:
"With comparable cases Gravenreuth succeeded to pocket long royalties, ...."
With his counterstatement von Gravenreuth stated that this allegation was incorrect, correct was
that he would not have recieved any licence payments in conjunction with the Trademark "Explorer".
Heise on this:
«The liability to release a counterstatment exists regardless if its content is true or not. The editorial office
does not mix the term "to pocket" with any allegation on were the payments remained, the more so as cashiers
mostly do not recieve sums in person.²
I only can agree with Heise, because of course Freiherr von Gravenreuth did not collect the royalties in person but
his manner to "make cash" consists of neat little fee-notes to the licensors whose cases he is pleading, and
to the "royalty-violators" he warns or accuses.
The various forum articles at Heise are interesting.

Merlancia's AJE project
Regarding some questions to Merlancia about the AJE project (Amiga Java Engine)
for Classic AmigaOS, Marion E. Wyatt has received the answer that programmers
are still sought how participate in the project so that it can be realized.
For more information, follow the titlelink.
Here the original text of the mail:
«I got an email from the guys at Merlancia in regards to some questions I had
about their AJE project (Amiga Java Engine) for the classic AmigaOS. My
questions dealt with whether or not a "full" JVM included an AWT or not, and
whether or not the JVM would be PPC optimised.
The answer was yes to all my questions: JVM with AWT and PPC optimised if I
didn't misunderstand. They do need developers, though. If anyone wants to see
a full Java2 VM with AWT for our current Amigas contact Merlancia ASAP.
Contact info is available at http://www.merlancia.com/aje/»
