Tool: PlayMOD v1.8 released
Andreas Falkenhahn writes:
PlayMOD was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
PlayMOD plays, as the name says, Protracker and Noisetracker
modules however with a slight difference from all the other
players: PlayMOD is primarily meant for playing MODs by double-clicking
the icon of the file. So it's useful for CD-ROMs
with a lot of MODs with icons which have PlayMOD as the default
tool. PlayMOD was also used on the "The Best Of Airsoft Softwair
Gold Edition" CD-ROM.
Additionally it plays IFF-8SVX files of any size. PlayMOD is
a small, system-friendly program and runs either with or without
a GUI (user-configurable!). PlayMOD is Freeware and can be
downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link).

AROS news
AROS is an open source project to implement a portable version of
AmigaOS V3.1. Read here how the project advances:
Aaron "Optimizer" Digulla has updated the
credits.
Still not everyone is mentioned but it's better than before :-)
He also fixed the URLs which were broken by the new web site
scripts.
Georg Steger fixed the strange keyboard problems (holding the right
Win key down for a while would suddenly print /'s on the screen).
He also added some printer- and datatype-specific header files.
They are needed
in the DataTypes.class. And he fixed a bug in the EOF handling of
the console.handler.
Fabio Alemagna improved flushing of Output() and
Error(). The shell will now print the boot and other
messages only when needed. PIPEFS: supports AbortIO()
now. He also added <Ctrl-C>-Handling to a lot of DOS functions
so that they will abort a pending IO if the task receives a signal
while waiting for the IO to complete.
Stefan Berger fixed two bugs in layers and intuition. Child windows
can now be moved with opaque running. He also implemented a helper
function which checks if a layer is the frontmost among the
layers that have the same relationship to the root layer and another
one which checks if a layer is hidden by any other visible (or invisible)
sibling with the same priority. And he fixed typos in rand48-functions
in c.lib. (ps) (Translation: rh)

New Amiga link page planned

I'm in the process of building a new Amiga link page, but sadly I'm currently
lacking time and money to search for Amiga pages in a search engine. That's
why I ask you, dear Amiga community, to get a link collection as large as possible.
If you know a couple of good pages or your bookmarks spill over, simply send me
your personal link collection by e-mail
I will systematically categorize them. You'll find a small preview at the title link,
but the page is still under construction!

LaunchHTML was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage.
With LaunchHTML HTML files can be displayed by just double

AudioLabs: Update pack for ALPS realtime plugins
There are new plugins for ProstationAudio. Read the original message:
Apparently some graphic board models don't handle masked images correctly.
A update pack for ALPS plugins is now available to fix display problems
with images placed on plugins' front panels. It uses a different masking
method, now working with any model. Updating is as
simple as decompressing the archive to the plugins drawer and rebooting.
ALPS is the name of a well-known European chain of mountains, situated
not far from here. ALPS is also the acronym for AudioLabs Plugin System,
a data exchange protocol for software DSP modules designed to let
ProStationAudio users expand their systems without limits.

Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library v33.34 and VirusExecutor v22.21
A new update of the "xvs.library" has been released today. The code for removal of the
virus "Hitch-Hiker 5.00" should be there now. We got a helping hand from a former
antivirus programmer (Georg Hoermann, known from VirusZ & xvs.library).
We know that there have been a lot of updates of the xvs.library in the last 14 days, but
the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 virus was very tricky, and Georg Hoermann wrote this to me:
> - Quote start
It's never nice to see such ugly viruses, and the polymorphic code was
definitely the "finest" I have seen so far. With the knowledge of several
years, you can handle such a beast much easier, but Jan Erik will certainly
learn a lot about those things when he continues with xvs.library.
> - Quote end
And I was the one that 'draged' the programming of the xvs.library over Jan Erik's
head, when Alex van Niel did not have the time to update anymore. VHT-DK
needed a programmer they could trust 100% with viruses, and there was only one,
so I used all my 'charm' to talk Jan Erik into it. And I'm happy that we have Jan Erik
to update the xvs.library....
Info about the new update of xvs.library:
Name: xvs.library v33.34
chive name: xvslibrary.lha
Archive size: 58.341 byteses
Release date: 6 September 2001
Programmer: Jan Erik Olausen
News for v33.33:
- Replaced the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 detection/removal code.
Thanks to Georg Hörmann for writing a better code ;)
- Cleaned up some code. Got some tips from Georg.
So the library is a bit smaller now...
- For developers: Added XVSLIST_DATAVIRUSES to xvsCreateVirusList()
so that you can view data viruses as well.
Download shortcut: http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/xvs/xvs.htm
Remember if you use VirusZ, VirusChecker, Safe and VirusExecutor you
must update the xvs.library to have recog for the latest viruses.....
Also a new update of VirusExecutor, here is the news:
Name : VirusExecutor v22.21
Archive name: VirusExecutor.lha
Archive size : 285.082 bytes
Date: 6 September 2001
Programmer: Jan Erik Olausen
News in v2.21:
- Fixed font problem in the memory monitor.
- Fixed some gfx out of range when using VE on a Workbench screen
with a display width < 645.
- Starting to write a disassemble function in the memory monitor.
It don't know all the commands yet, but it will ;)
- You can now use the arrow keys or the numeric key pad to scroll
in the monitor window.
- Added 'Show data virus' to the menu. Requires xvs.library v33.34+

New Linux_m68k kernel and programs for Linux APUS
Michael Heider wrote:
Under the title link a new kernel for Linux_m68k as well as a new kernel and
programs for Linux APUS are available for download. The programs are about a script
to configure sound under Linux APUS in case of sound drivers generated as kernel modules.
Most kernels downloaded from the developers page have such.
On my homepage you can download kernels up to version 2.4.8 each as both IDE and SCSI versions.
On this occasion I would like to thank Mario Frenzel for his effort.
One short note:
I ask the users to access the homepage using my old URL
http://home.germany.net/101-109037/index.html,
since there are some problems with the domain offeror at this time.
