ASA - Amiga Software Archive (work in progress)
We will revive amiga-software.com on our server. Until its shutdown it was a regularly used service with an easy and fast overview about the latest Amiga software.

We want to continue this with the ASA (Amiga Software Archive). Users and coders can present helpful programs, tools and utilities with a short description. The visitor will get also information about system requirements (CPU, memory, OS, PPC, ...) and of course the link for the related homepage and email address of the author - every author can change and delete his entry via ID and password at any time.

The coding of the system will be finished next week, so from then on you can make entries into it.

We need the support of experienced users, who will offer up some of their freetime for administration and control of the latest entries. If you are interested, please send an email to us: asa@synotec-newmedia.de. (ps)

News from Thorsten Willert
First you can get a fix of his HTML preprocessor extension in the GoldED WebWorld menu, that you can use together with "CompressHTML".

Second he is looking for a new name for "CompressHTML", because the old name does not fit anymore with the new functions.

Third the following of his AREXX programs are now public domain:
  • Auto-Font-List
  • FWTabTools
  • FileInfo
  • GH_Browser
  • MakeSuffix

    Because of lack of time Thorsten Willert can not develop them any further. If you want to continue the development of these projects, he will give you a helping hand to start.
Who wants to continue the AmigaOSGuide? It is an Amiga DOS manual, with dictionary. State: OS 3.1. If you are interested, send an email to Thorsten Willert. (ps)

AMIGA celebrates First SDK anniversary with special offer (Executive Update)

Greetings to members of the Amiga Family:

Wow, what a year it has been!

In the coming weeks we are going to see the releases of not one but three new Amiga Products!:
  1. AmigaOne PPC /1200 - On Schedule and Rockin'
  2. AmigaOS 4.0, and shortly thereafter AmigaOS 4.2 on schedule and will offer the next generation of Amiga desktop - on PPC!
  3. AmigaDE 1.1 so the rest of the world may begin to learn the power of Amiga - For Cell Phones, PDA's, and other portable devices.
Because of overwhelming e-mails and suggestions, Amiga Incorporated is pleased to announce the AmigaOne, AmigaOS 4.0, 4.2, and AmigaDE pre-release party pack!

Here is how you can participate with this party pack.

Starting June 11th and ending June 16th 2001 Amiga family members can purchase a pre-release version of AmigaDE for $99.00 (US plus tax and handling), you will receive one year of updates, the SDK, a bundle of sample applications and games, and the ability to start using DE on Windows or Linux desk tops.

Next you can pick from either a $100.00 (US) discount coupon on an AmigaOne PPC/1200 for use at your local dealer, or you can receive BOTH AmigaOS 4.0 and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE!

That's right, for one week only purchase the pre-release of AmigaDE, get the SDK, and all the trimmings and select either a $100.00 (US) discount on a new AmigaONE, OR AmigaOS 4.0 and AmigaOS 4.2 for FREE.

It's your choice, and it is available today at: AmigaMall

Sincerely,

Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library V33.25
The xvs.library (External Virus Support Library) has been updated today. Alex van Niel has decided to stop programming the xvs.package but will still update VirusChecker when he has the time. Alex got a new job that takes almost all his time. At this time I got very cold feet... Where would we find a new programmer that know something about viruses ? Or even worth, should we stop "Virus Help Denmark", without programmers to make antivirus programs, where would we be ??? And where would YOU BE ???????

So we went out looking for a new programmer to update the xvs.library. And with Georg Hoermann's approval we offered the code to a great guy, Jan Erik Olausen (The programmer of VirusExecutor), and he said YES :-)

PLEASE..... read the PS at the bottom of this email......

So, Jan has been rather busy in the last 4 weeks with adding new viruses and looking at the code for xvs. And now his first release is ready.

Here is some info about the release:

Name : xvs.library v33.25
Archive name : xvslibrary.lha
Archive size : 54.743 bytes
Release date : 10 June 2001
Programmer : Jan Erik Olausen
Email : virusexecutor@c2i.net


News for 33.25:
  • Added Zakahackandpatch File virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the files.
  • Added Bobek! Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen, Frank and Zeeball for the files.
  • Added Bastard Installer 1 Data virus, Bastard Installer 2 File virus, Bastard Link virus. Thanks Jan Andersen and Zeeball for the files. Thanks to Zeeball for the info on this virus and for the decrypt and memory removal routines.
  • Added 212 Bytes Link virus Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file.
  • Fixed bug in recognition code for DKG-Blum file virus. Thanks to Jan Andersen for reporting this.
  • Added Bobek2 Installer File virus Thanks to Fabrizio Bartoloni for telling me about this file.
The library has changed programmer, although Georg does keep all copyrights and remains owner of the sources, I (Jan Erik Olausen) will continue development. See the README file for my contact address.

Thanks to Georg Hörmann and Dirk Stoecker for helping me out with fixing bugs in the source. I couldn't have done this without there help :o)

Download shortcut.

STILL TO DO:
  • Add Bobek2 Link virus.
  • Add Neurotic Death 1 - 5. These five linkviruses are polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. It seems that they haven't been spread to the public, I received them anonymously from the author. So it's not that BIG danger at the moment.
  • Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(


Remember to join the Amiga antivirus maillist for free. Just send an empty email to: vht-dk-subscribe@yahoogroups.com.

To leave the maillist, just send an empty email to: vht-dk-unsubscribe@yahoogroups.com.

You can find this update at Virus Help Denmark & Virus Help Team Canada now, and on Aminet within the next 24 hours.....

PS: If you think that Jan Erik Olausen is doing one hell of a job, with keeping you Amiga secure for viruses, then send him a little donation. I know that xvs.library and VirusExecutor is freeware, but Jan has done one hell of a job in the last 6 month, to add new virus recog. in VirusExecutor and now with xvs.library. Send him 4 or 5 US-$, a postcard and even flowers, if you think he is doing a great job, and would like to keep the xvs.library alive...... (ps)

Virus Help Denmark: VHT-DK Bobek-2 Linkvirus found (update)
Supplement 13 June 2001
Accidently the wrong text for this news message was published. I replaced that with the correct text, now. I apologize for this bad mistake. mj

Here the proper message:

VHT-DK think to have found the installer of the link virus 'Bobek2'. The respective archive was on Aminet, but meantime has been removed. But there might be other infected archives, so be careful!

Known so far:

Archive name : Footro.lha
Archive size: 2.924 bytes
Archive info : Borntro from new A500 team Footro is looking for skilled A500 coders.
Installer name : 4k
Installer size : 2.784 bytes (stonecracker 4.04 packed)
Installer size : 3.316 bytes (unpackt)
Virusname : Bobek2 Linkvirus
Virus size : ca. 1036 bytes (uses polymorphic engine)

In the unpacked file you can read:
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------
xxxxxxxxxxx proudly presents BOBEK2 - The first binary virus for Amiga!
Credits - main coding by xxxxxxxx, polyengine by xxxxxx, installer-tool
and timer.device coding by xxxxxx! We are the best! Powered by Asm-One!
Enjoy! That is only preview of our metamorphic engine!
>------------------------------ CUT TEXT ------------------------------


Virus Help Denmark replaced the names with 'xxxx'. Thy don't want to promote virus programmers. "They should make use of there programming skills and make some useful programs", Jan Andersen wrote in his mail.

Since the file could not be started the people of VHT-DK tried an old A500 on which the virus was spread to other files.

At this time there is no cure for the virus 'Bobek2', but Jan Erik Olausen is working for a way to make a recognition for the 'Bobek2' linkvirus. (mj)

Since the new version of NListtree is to find in the YAM 2.3 archive, already, I would not like to let them take away from me the chance to make the definite last version before fall available as a complete archive.

Among other things two new Drag&Drop methods were implemented and a small bug in the Drag&Drop handling was fixed.

  • Bugfix: Mounting from RDB did not work in v1.186.
  • Changed: AmigaOS: SCSI_DIRECT support was removed.
  • Changed: Some unused parts of the code were disabled (deviceio/asynctransfer).
  • Changed: AmigaOS: Device check with the TD_GETGEOMETRY command, which did not work, was removed. If needed, NSDPatch.cfg should be used for this instead.
This version should be used carefully. Bug reports and confirmation of that it works might be sent to Jörg Strohmayer.

AMI Sector One Update
This time there is a big update on AMI Sector One. The up-to-now biggest legal and licensed Amiga game 'The Case of the Cautious Condor' (65 MB compressed) can be downloaded, now. This realtime adventure game was first released in 1991 for the Amiga CDTV. Wonderful drawn graphics and the glassy digi-sound make it a highlight. Not without cause it has been 'Game of the Year' in Japan.

Of course there are much more games like 'Blood 'n' Bullets', 'Slap 'n' Tickle', 'Bill', etc.

The two classics 'Genesis - The Third Day' (generating fractal landscapes), and 'Deluxe Music 2.0' (best? notation program for the Amiga) are legally available at the program area, now.

The Amiga group 'Wanted Team' now also has pages on AMI Sector One. For example there are Amiga players and new ripped sound modules. An update of the Coverscan section may not be missed.

Last but not least the 'Amiga Games Compendium' has been expanded with 1,100 new entries. (sd)
