Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III v0.97
Georg Hoermann has made an update of VirusZ III, and the bugfixed update is now available for download at our homepage.

Here is some info about the update:

Name: VirusZ III v0.97
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 50.208
Date : 2 March 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires : OS 2.04+, xvs.library

News in VirusZ III v0.97:

  • Fixed bugs in window calculation code that caused the resizeable windows (Vector Check, File Check) to look ugly or to not open up at all. Thanks to Crown/Cryptoburners, DMX, Paracels/Placebo, Jan Andersen and Mad Roger for the bug reports...
  • Moved size-gadget in resizeable windows from the right border to the bottom border (looks much nicer and takes less space on small screens) and re-fixed width of these windows.
  • Re-added support for ALL disk-based devices to Bootblock Lab on special request from Mikolaj Calusinski. Are you happy now? :-)
  • Added disassembler mode to the Bootblock Lab. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown bootblocks. Note: This feature requires 'disassembler.library' v40.x by Thomas Richter, you'll find it in Aminet...
  • Made Bootblock Lab window resizeable as the disassembler output becomes quite big sometimes.
  • Changed the file format for saving window positions. Sorry, but if you already had arranged your windows individually, you will have to position them all again and save the prefs afterwards.
  • Started adding Sector Check (at least the device selector, the real check is not implemented yet, sorry for that :-(
  • Added recognition for mmu.library patches to Vector Check and fixed some smaller problems.
  • Finally wrote at least a short documentation for VirusZ III.
STILL TO DO LIST (no specific order):
  • Optimize File Check (output is much too slow, checking archives cannot be canceled at the moment).
  • Add a fully working Sector Check.
  • Add new features to Vector Check (eg. a brain for known ROMTags, a snapshot function for unknown patches [you can send me those snapshots and I add them to the brain]).
  • Add disassembler mode to Memory Monitor.
  • Add useful commands to ARexx port.

Amiforce: Amiblitz section and new forum
As promised life has been breathed into the Amiblitz section on Amiforce. From now on is the manual for Blitz2 in German available as HTML version for online reading or ready for download as offline variant.

Furthermore has a new forum been installed. There's a poll in the Amiblitz area regarding this topic. The forum can be used as a place to go for Amiblitz programmers and for people who want to become programmers.

Further planned contents of the section:

  • Complete users and reference manual in German.
  • Tutorials and courses.
  • An own distribution.
  • Example source codes and much more.
This will take some time. So it's clear that not all can appear at once. The main goal of Amiforce is to make Amiblitz more popular again. With the release of the documentation should also beginners succeed in learning this language. The first step is made. All interested are kindly invited. (ps) (Translation: wk)

GFX-BASE: review of PuzzleBOBs
Richard Kapp:
We had promised it already for the last weekend but due to a lack of time it was just now possible for us: the review of the recently for the Amiga released 'Puzzle Bobble' clone 'PuzzleBOBs' has now been released at the GFX-BASE. Enjoy reading!

Changes at the GFX-BASE
Quite some things have changed at GFX-BASE: so has the comment function been much improved. You can now send anonymous postings, too, the last 5 comments are shown at the bottom, the preferences have been improved and you can now get a clear list of all existing comments displayed. Besides that, there have been further downloads and links been added and we promise some more surprises for the coming weeks. (ps) (Translation: wk)

AmigaOSXL: experiences report about H&P Big-Tower 1800+
Dietmar Knoll:
I have summarized my experiences with the AmigaOSXL-Big-Tower by Haage&Partner in a review. The review contains for now the first steps up to the running Amithlon system. The first updates for Amithlon are described as well.

Planned are extensions regarding the subject software troubles and of course for AmigaXL/QNX. The next thing I'll do is translating the review to English.

I'm very interested in reactions on the review as I have the feeling to be the only owner of a H&P Big-Tower. Besides would it of course motivate me to continue the review. Also welcome are corrections and completions/enlargements of my experiences. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Online Freeciv competition among Amiga users
On Sunday, 03.03.2002, takes an online Freeciv competition among Amiga users place, beginning 14.00h. People who want to participate should be on the channel #amigafun on the server ie.altnet.org from 13.30h on because of planning reasons.

Required is much time as a game can take several hours and besides that one hould already know the game a little (or the old Civilisation game) as it is right complex.

The played version is 1.11.x as the 1.12.x for Amiga has too many bugs.

Downloadlinks:
Amiga: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/amiga/freeciv-1.11.0.lzx
PC: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/windows/old/freeciv-1.11.4-win.zip

The server the game will be finally running on will be announed on the above mentioned IRC channel! (ps) (Translation: wk)

Amiga Arena: Interview with Volker Grabbe
The lack of commercial software and the resulting gaps have been bridged well with freeware and shareware programs just for the applications section during recent years. But most Amiga users are missing an up-to-date browser and an office package which truely allows to exchange data with other platforms.

Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".

This interview is available in English, too.

Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate in this project, please contact Volker Grabbe for more information.

Olaf Köbnik: "Dear Amiga users, it would be nice if numerous developers would come to work on this project. The way users are fighting each other is incomprehensible to me. We all benefit from such projects and should account ourselves happy for still having enthusiasts in the Amiga section, who "sacrify" their spare time for us and the Amiga. Deliberately I did not mention any comparable product here, because this message mainly intends to call attention for OpenOffice!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

peer2peer Morpheus changing protocoll
The peer2peer file sharing system ´Morpheus´ is changing the file sharing protocoll. Since the start of Morpheus the FastTrackSystem was used, which had some security gaps. After the change Morpheus users could not log into the system, because the existing software was not compatible with the Morpheus client any more. Morpheus now is about to use the Gnutella protocoll.

If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).

There already is an unfinished Gnutella client called AmiGnut for the Amiga on Aminet. Sources are available in StormC format. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Coyote Flux Presents - AuroraRadio
Coyote Flux is proud to announce "AuroraRadio", one of the first internet radio stations to broadcast Amiga Game and Demo modules in between its normal programming. On request a SID tune hour will be integrated in the evenings.

What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted. Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7 Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.

The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for "auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.

Kind Regards,
Coyote Flux (ps)

Audio: Overclocking Delfina Lite with DelfTweak
If you are seeking for more processing power for your Delfina Lite sound card and you are not confident of ripping some of the components off the board and replacing them with others, DelfTweak offers you an excellent alternative: it can overclock Delfina by software means and gain more than enough processing power to encode and listen to MP3 files.

Some features:

  • capable of changing Delfina Lite's internal clock speed
  • displays external and internal clock frequences and DSP frequency ratio
  • supports any external clock (crystal) frequence in addition to standard 4 MHz external clock
  • available frequency range with standard Delfina Lite: 4 MHz - 16.4 GHz!

MP3: mp3Play Version 2.02
Carl Svensson has published version 2.02 of his minimalistic GUI "mp3Play" for the MP3-Player "MPEGA". The GUI has been made with ARexx and the rexxreqtools.library. It calls up "MPEGA" in such a way that the player needs only 25 per cent of the CPU time on a 50 Mhz 68060 CPU, according to DashBoard.

Compared to the last version a random play function has been added.
