PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX sells Amiga Sources
Due to a lack of time, motivation and general interest,
PerSuaSiVe SoftWorX is looking for licensees that
are willing to obtain the source code for the well-known
ak Datatypes (other products on request) under exclusive
or non-exclusive license on as-is basis.
The license will not include the keyfile-code (removal)
and it won't include the right to sell a product under
the same name. So the licensee will be able to work out
new products based on the sources, without any further
relations or obligations. Basic help for getting started
with the sources and concepts will be provided.
We're awaiting your offers.
OpenSource projects may obtain FREE licences under
certain circumstances. Please contact us.
This offer is limited until 31.03.2001.
In the meantime, our website will be reworked.
The Amiga section was removed.

#AmigaFun: chat with Hyperion on 18.02.2002
On Monday, 18. February 2002, beginning at 19.00 h will Steffen Häuser,
Thomas and Hans-Jörg Frieden from
Hyperion answer to questions
on the IRC Amiga channel #AmigaFun. All three are programmers at Hyperion and
deal with AmigaOS 4 and with games ports, like for example Quake 2. The chat
with Hyperion is organised in co-operation with the Amiga Future.
How to access the IRC channel #AmigaFun:
IRC server (enter WITHOUT "irc."): rollingrock.altnet.org
IRC port: 6667
IRC channel: #amigafun
Should the server fail you can access the channel via this server:
amigafun.ma.cx (please enter again without "irc.").
Further information especially for IRC beginners can be found on the #AmigaFun homepage.
HINT:
The chat can be accessed via HTML chat from the #AmigaFun homepage, Amiga Future
homepage and from the amiga-news.de forum. As we can't guarantee an error free
functioning of the HTML chat and programs like AMIRC or BlackIRC are anyway
nicer to use we recommend to use an IRC client in any way.
Possible languages are German and English. The logfiles of the chat will be
later released on the homepages of the Amiga Future and the #AmigaFun in German and
in English.
Stefan Martens: "I'd like this time to point to the fact that nobody else may
release the logfiles of the chat this time." (ps) (Translation: wk)

Matay: P96-Drivers only on request
Matay has removed the archive with the P96-drivers V2.1a for Prometheus from the server and will send the archive only on request via email. It will be available again later on when a registration process will be implemented. Owners of a Prometheus board can get it sending an email to info@matay.pl. Matay has decided to do so because also users without a Prometheus board are using these drivers.
You find this text at the archive:
"This archive has been deleted from the page because of numerous downloads
by people who don't have Prometheus boards but are still using our page to
recieve a full archive of shareware program. In short future there will be
a questionary veryfing and writing down all necessary data of the one who
is downloading. Till then, please inquire to info@matay.pl, we will send you
this archive on your email account. Thank you, Matay team"

Once more Amiga users are informed faster and better than the PC world.
As the Amiga Security Page
is already reading since 24. August 2001, Morpheus clients can be spied using a simple web browser and
avoid any file sharing settings of the client.
This concerns all P2P clients using the Morpheus protocoll. See also
description of Morpheus on the ASP.
BTW: Now there also is a topical virus / trojan list on the ASP sponsored by
Sophos Anitvirus.

Running AmigaOS on a PC: Review of Amiga XL
OSNews is running a review of AmigaXL, a system that allows you to boot
AmigaOS on your PC in a way that resembles a regular-booting x86
operating system. Screenshots accompany the article show the latest
version of AmigaOS 3.9 running on a Compaq laptop. With AmigaOS 4.0
coming out in March with lots of new features (antialias fonts, better
memory protection etc) is AmigaXL the one true future of Amiga, a future
that AmigaDE, QNX and Gateway failed to materialize through their
involvement with AmigaOS?

Andreas R. Kleinert: References to pirate copies of my programms wanted
Today, I read the article about
shareware and pirate copies on amiga-news.de. Very interesting. Well, it is that
from time to time people send me illegal keyfiles and/or key generators for my
programs - sometimes refering to the source where to find those.
This often enables me to deactivate the respective keys, which respond to a certain
pattern. So there are faithful users too - who nevertheless stumble upon such things
from time to time - and help program authors to embank pirate copying.
I would like to offer the following to those users:
Who will send me keyfiles for my programs (or the respective generators),
up to now not recognized as "pirate keys" by those, will receive an
original keyfile at a time. In especially fiddly cases I will charge even more.
For multi-transmittal applies: "The first to send in, will win".
Naturally data will be kept in confidence and anonymous if desired (the real
name is only required for the keyfile).
P.S.: Dubious software gets tested under UAE,
insofar transfecting virsues is useless.
