Cloanto: Personal Paint 7.1 for AmigaOS 4.0
Seattle, WA - January 6, 2004 - Amiga Inc. and Cloanto are
delighted to announce that Personal Paint 7.1 will be available
on the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 operating system.
The Personal Paint series of 2D graphics and animations
applications has been a mainstay of the application base for
the Amiga platform ever since its introduction in 1992 and it
is also a star attraction of the Cloanto Amiga Forever package.
As Cloanto considers a new version of the product for AmigaOS
4.0, it has decided to show its commitment to the Amiga
platform and community by making the source code of the current
version available to Amiga Inc., allowing them to create a
PowerPC native version for the upcoming AmigaOS 4.0 product.
The created binaries will be owned by Cloanto but will be made
available for free download from the Amiga and Cloanto web
sites.
Cloanto and Amiga are also in talks concerning a new version of
Amiga Forever, as well as a special version of Amiga Forever
for AmigaOS 4.0, which aims to provide chipset-level Classic
Amiga compatibility integrated with the new generation Amiga
operating system and hardware.

Some details about the OS4 SDK
At AmigaWorld.net, Hans-Jörg Frieden announced further details about the AmigaOS4 SDK which will be included on the Developer Pre-Release CD:
-
GCC 2.95.3 and GCC 3.4 have been ported to OS 4 native (and as a cross compiler for Linux/x86, Linux/PPC, Windows/Cygwin, Darwin/PPC, AmigaOS 3.x/m68k) The SDK will also contain gdb, the Gnu Debugger.
-
Then there's vbcc. vbcc is Frank Wille's contribution, I don't know if it will be contained in the SDK directly, but it will in any case be downloadable.
-
The SDK also contains a number of additional utilities, among them "fdtrans", which is a program to convert old-style SFD files into next-gen XML files.
-
XML files are used by the program "idltool", which is a program that converts these XML files into all sort of output files (much like fd2pragma or SFD before). idltool is primarily used to generate all required include files for an OS 4 style library, but it can also generate a skeleton source code for a library, so that a programmer only has to write an XML file, turn it into source code, and add the functions to it. This should make it easier to write libraries in OS 4.

Virus Help Denmark celebrates 10th anniversary
The Virus Help Team Denmark (VHT-DK) celebrates its 10th anniversary during these days. The editorial staff says "Happy Birthday". Lars P. Kristensen who works for Virus Help Denmark has gathered some information about the history of this honorary organization:
Many people have asked us why and for what? We haven't really been able
to respond to this question other than "it's a hobby". Well then some
others says, "this must cost you a great deal of money". Actually not, I
don't think our lives - so fare - would have been without a computer
anyway. Our families have somehow accepted our interest. Then what have we
gained from all this. A lot of friends and many contacts. I think this in
general goes for most of us in VHT-DK.
Shortly after the appearance of the Amiga, the "evil viral" showed their
ugly faces. Most of us went from the old Commodore C64 to Amiga, with all
it's advanced graphic, audio and like, some of us didn't even thought of
the risks from the viruses before it was all too late, it was just a
"phenomenon" one could read had happened to somebody else. The
"phenomenon's" became known with names like "ByteBandit" and "BSG9", these
were among many others of the early boot block virus. The virus installed
itself right into the boot block and normally easy removed, by simply
installing a standard boot block, however as "piracy" also is a "thing" to
deal with, many software houses tried to protect their work by changing
the sync value or other tricks to prevent "disk swapping". To do that it
required a special boot block installed and when the virus infected the
boot block, the entire disk was destroyed. Well, we haven't seen a new
boot block virus for some time, because they are easily detected with the
programs available today. Later the file- and link virus appeared.
The programs Virus Help Denmark distribute is only share- and freeware -
Virus Help Denmark runs non-profit. It is a fact that all attempts to make
a commercial virus killer for the Amiga has failed. They were outrunned by
people who simply had their heart at the right place. Combined with the
fact that programming of such software isn't just a nine to five job - it
simply needs true dedication.
Who is Virus Help Denmark and what do they do - a simple presentation:
- Jan Andersen: Webmaster, keeps track off what's going on, supporting
Amiga users.
- Torben Danoe: PC-guy.
- Jan Nielsen: PC-guy, works with Torben and supports PC-users and the
PC-Disk.
- Henrik Lauridsen: Internet supporter.
- Lars P. Kristensen: Amiga user supporter, translator, and "PR"-guy.
- Jan Erik Olausen: Programmer of VirusExecutor and Amiga support.
This is a very short description, most off us are still having an Amiga,
but the time between the use of it, is getting longer and longer, we all
have daily jobs and families to support as well. I could fill pages, with
lots of stuff concerning what the five of us has overcome since the early
ninety's. I would rather prefer telling the history behind VHT DK, and
this started for me at the summertime 1991. The summer I got attacked by a
simple virus named ByteBandit. I found a coverdisk which contained a few
shareware programs - mainly from the "Fish Library" - every Amiga guy should know Fred Fish and the tremendous work he did to get programmers and users closer. However I found this disk and ZeroVirus, I quickly read the documentation and stumbled over a name - a Danish name: Erik Løvendal
Sørensen. Erik had had a similar situation to my own. But - differently -
he started to collect the viruses and mailed them to authors of antivirus
programs, which didn't yet, supported the virus he mailed. Then he put
"The New Superkiller" (TNS) together. By the time I got it, it was stuffed
with antivirus programs to the limit.
A day during Easter 1992 I was down to visit Erik. Then I met Jan Andersen
and Torben Danø. I have seen Jan shortly (he can't remember - he's just
getting older) talking to Erik about how he had shown the TNS to some
pupils at an evening school and taught them how to use it. A month or so
after Easter, the two guys forming RVC-DK wished to leave to pay a greater
attention to their study. I had had a wish to join the center from the day
I started in SHI - now that possibility was in reach. Erik thought it was
better if I stayed at "my post", however he hadn't any complaints when Jan
was pointed at as a new RVC leader. What the heck. I called Jan and
fortunately he lived just 25 km's from me. The next month Jan and I
redesigned the whole set of disks. Time demanded a Kick2.0 disk and we
first tried different versions of "softkick's" (Jan had a hard drive -
lucky him). Well, we equipped Jan's A500 with a Kick2.0 ROM and that gave
us a lot of new possibilities, one was to use the entire 880KB of a disk.
Shortly after Jan and I teamed up, Jan Nielsen (Jan-Jan), Torben Danø and
Henrik Lauridsen joined to be part of the action.
Soon Jan established SHI BBS. First he figured out the MAX BBS system but
soon he changed to - and learned to master - the STARNET BBS system (the
prior system to MEBBS net) under which the system performed to the end.
The system almost killed Jan, he wanted the system to be no less than 100
percent secure and he actually took a bet with another SHI guy, who
claimed he could hack the BBS. As fare as I know, Jan is still waiting to
collect the bet. However, Jan also did a heck off a job in keeping the BBS
up to date, he actually "haunted" every corner of all the great BBS-sites
and nets to seek new updates all the time. One more thing, Jan is also the
author of the "VirusWarning.guide", a news-guide about virus, what
archives they were spread in and where they were found - actually he is
still updating it today.
However, by the end of 1993 the five of us performing under SHI in the RVC
known as "SHI Team Denmark" discovered that SHI in general took a
different path, we decided to resign from SHI and keep on the path we had
followed so fare. There were many reasons that lead us to this conclusion
and it wasn't easy for any of us to leave. As fare as I know SHI doesn't
exist anymore, however, lots of friends met each other in SHI and lots of
new great ideas evolved from the endless brainstorms we had. From the
start of 1994 Virus Help Team Denmark took off - the name had slightly
changed as the words "Team Denmark" is copyrighted, today we function
under the name "Virus Help Denmark".
By that time the Internet hadn't evolved into this communicator it is
today, then there were nets like FIDONET, a local net in Denmark and
AMIGANET, a world wide net for the Amiga community. It could take up to a
fortnight to get a reply from fare places like Australia or South America
and it wasn't right to mail virus around those nets, as executables in
archives, attached to personal letters, could be opened and executed by
accident. Security on the Internet has been improved dramatically and
today virus can be mailed via the net instead of on disks in letters.
When the Internet started to spread among normal users, Jan could see from
the log file that users who earlier logged on to the BBS on regular basis,
became more and more rear. From my point of view he closed the BBS in the
right time, everybody who has a modem, can connect to the Internet and
get the updates from the VHT-DK homepage. The link is: www.vht-dk.dk
If you were a regular visitor on the former BBS, then pay this site a
visit and you'll find that everything is back, the homepage was actually
up and running some time before he closed down the BBS. I know that Jan
still keeps the old STARNET system - just in case.
Since the beginning of 1994 Virus Help Teams has been started in Norway,
Holland and Canada, some of the guys in those centers are also earlier
SHI-guys. In Canada, 'Charlene' has done so much for the VHT all over
the world (Thanx for everything Charlene).

Found: A MP3-player made by "Commodore"
Our reader jockl has seen a MP3-Player
made by "Commodore". He writes:
Actually we have nothing to do with Commodore no more and Commodore has nothing to do with
us and Commodore has also nothing to do with Commodore no more. Therefore actually it is
not interesting if someone has found a device made by "Commodore" which trade mark changes
from American to British and to German.
But what I found here, on the
Australian hardware site "DansData", is not only a review of a "Commodore" device (same
label, same logo).
Last but not least maybe it is interesting what can happen with the label "Commodore".
Above all when it seems to be a German company which uses the trade mark but offers
the products oversea.

GamePark32: Handheld with adapted ScummVM-version
The GamePark 32
combines the qualities of a mp3 and video player with a retro emulator and handheld
games because there is still a GP32 optmized version of the popular "ScummVM" tool with
which you can play Monkey Island, Indiana Jones or Day of the Tentacle.
There are also emulators for Atari 2600, Atari ST, C64, Neo Geo, NES and Master System.
But there is not an Amiga emulator (UAE?).
You can get further information here:
