Freespace supports virtual memory
The 68k-version of Freespace also runs on systems with 32 MB memory and virtual memory (you can use a freely available VMM-program for it) if there is at least 24.5 MB of free physical memory. In this case the reduction of speed is under 2%. The corresponding hints for the installation will be added to Freespace. With the help of it also users which have only 32 MB of memory can play Descent Freespace: The Great War.

Virus Help Denmark: Virus Warning 'Harrier A'
A new virus is found. As far as we know, it has not been spread. But read more about is here .
Also, new virus translations added to the Amiga Virus Encyclopedia.
VIRUS HELP DENMARK
Hi All....
A new linkvirus has been found a few days ago, but not in the wild.
It was send to directly to Georg Hoermann (programmer of xvs.library)
by the virus-programmer. Georg received the whole source code. This new
virus, named "Harrier A" was able to disable the antivirus programs,
but with the new xvs.library v33.36, this in no longer possible, due
to the new security stuff in the xvs.library code. And maybe that is
the reason why the virus-programmer send the code to Georg Hoermann.
We do not know if this virus was released in any way, so if you get a
requester poping up, telling you that something is trying to disable
the xvs.library, please let us know.
This is what we know of the virus:
Virus name.... : Harrier A
Virus Type.... : Linkvirus
Virus size.... : 4.800 bytes (Uses polmorphic engine)
Infects....... : 020+ machines
In the decoded virus you can read:
.[ Harrier .A 1.02 virus,
(c) by xxxxxxxxxxx..xxx ]
.Markus! Come back!Hç..,z
(xxxxxxx = Programmers name, removed by Virus Help Denmark)
The xvs.library package will be released very soon.....
Thanks to 'Georg Hoermann' for sending the archive, and to
Zeeball for the first test.

There's currently perhaps only one commercial Amiga game which is maintained
so well as Payback by James Daniels. Sadly, James' work does not reflect in
the sales. Because of the download count (updates) which are much higher than
the sales it has to be assumed that a huge amount of pirated copies endanger
the further development of Payback!

It's all about opening up choice and offering quality software and
service to Amiga customers and dealers. We feel we will succeed in
this goal thanks to Aqua gaining a wide scope of availability and appeal."

OSNews: Interview with Guillaume Maillard of the BlueOS team
There's an interesting article at OS-News about BlueOS,
a BeOS clone based on Linux. In this article a BlueOS team member answers questions about
the planned system. This article is also interesting from Amiga point of view for the following
reasons:
- BlueOS could become another alternative operating system for the bPlan PPC board
- BlueOS could show that it's possible to build an alternative operating system on a Linux
kernel which is compatible to an existing one (BeOS). Something similar would be possible
for AmigaOS for example with AROS.
All in all the BlueOS project seems to be in a very early state. Interesting for Amiga fans are the
aims of the project which read on the homepage as follows: "Call this project ´BeOS 8´
or ´AmigaOS 10, the revenge´ if you want, our dream is to make something better than
these great OSes."

Textviewer: Updated plug-ins for EvenMore
Using the new plugin feature of EvenMore, it is now possible for anyone
with a basic knowledge of any compiling programming language to create
plugins for EvenMore. I have created AmigaGuide, HTML, MSWord and
WordWorth conversion plugins to date. The possibilities are endless.
If anyone wants to create a plugin, let me know. This will also help me
to improve the plugin functions and expand the type and functions of
plugins that can be created.
