MainPrefs 2.0 Released
For those who want to change environment variables, easily change configuration files
such as s:startup-sequence or start the OS preferences programs in a predictable way,
now can do all of this with MainPrefs V2.0. New in the program is the possibility to change
assigns, and an Italian catalog by Arturo Franzin.
The program requires OS3.5, cause it has a Reaction GUI. It shall be available from Aminet from
the next update, but from now also on the homepage under the title link. The programmer Martin R. Elsner
makes efforts to further enhance the program and is open for new suggestions.

ANN: Fleecy Discussing
Michael wrote:
«Each one who is not perfectly aware of the intentions and attitudes of Amiga Inc. might be interested in
the long discussion at ANN (see title link - ca. 350 kB).
Even if it might never happen and MorphOS assumedly would be the better choice, so it might be interesting
with Fleecy Moss' statements there in mind for once to consider the "50,000-copies"-edge to be the promise of a solid
4.0 PPC under active headship by Amiga Inc. Contrary to the suspicion this might only be an unsocial lure
to gain more income, cause I initially took it by this, too.
It's a pity that always only hard discussions and impeachment generate clarifying answers from Amiga Inc. or
other companies. In this case regarding the 50,000 copies promise.»

Heise: Background details: Microsoft are Stricken
«Crippled due to the cartel case, tantalized by cracker's attacks, and trailed by the general
downwards trend of the PC branch the software giant from Redmond now starts to paddle hectically.
Because the signs are indicating storm: For the first time after ten years and for the second time
in the company's history at all Microsoft had to call out a profit caution for the current quarter.
PC sales in the otherwise so opulent Christmas business are stagnating worldwide, thus the best
income source stops bubbling the way Bill Gates' crew was used to. After all, almost a third of volume of
sales Microsoft draws from the fact that vendors sell PC's along with Windows or other products by Microsoft.»

VirusHelp Denmark: Virus Warning
Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will only execute
it self if you have named your hard-disk "DH0" & "DH1". The trojan
is spread in and archive with the name "DKG-BLUM.LHA". If you run
the "DKG-BLUM.exe", the trojan will replace your c:loadwb with
another loadwb (size: 3560 bytes) and replace c:assign with another
assign (size: 2408 bytes), and the screen will tell you that there
is not enough memory, and you will have to restart, then it looks
like the trojan will delete DH1:.
The trojan also adds or replaces 2 other files, "LIBS:asi.library"
& "DEVS:ASI.device".
The cure right now (If you have lost your DH1: to bad......), then
replace the trojan files with clean ones, here is the trojan sizes:
c:loadwb ( 3560 bytes)
c:assign ( 2408 bytes)
libs:asi.library (24548 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file)
devs:asi.device ( 2408 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file)
Here is some info about the infected archive:
Virus Type.... : Trojan
Archive name.. : dkg-blum.lha
Archive size.. : 28.535 bytes (lha packet)
This archive has been send to all the antivirus programers.....
Thanx to Peter Gordon & Urban for the info and sending the archive
to us........

MUI: NListtree V18.6 Beta 5
Carsten Scholling released beta version V18.6 Beta 5 of the MUI class 'NListtree'. This
class displays data in a tree structure. For this time the update contains bugfixes and
useful enhancements.
- Bugfix: Multiselection bug fixed, which allowed entries to be dropped on thier children entries (crash!)
- Bugfix: Position calculation rewritten. No more accidently deleted entries.
- Bugfix: Drop-Typ "Sorted" never occured
- Bugfix: Renaming the user field wasn't possible.
- Bugfix: MUIV_NListtree_Insert_ListNode_ActiveFallback (see Autodocs).
- Bugfix: Inserting open nodes into one closed leaded to wrong position calculation (reported by Luca 'Hexaae' Longone, thx)
- New: Second find method implemented (user field). This searching function is rather meant as a backup to have different
searching possibilities, if needed. (Hooks must not always be set again).
- New: MUIA_NListtree_ShowTree implemented (tree on / off). Useful for different sorting orders for which a tree structure maybe
isn't wanted.
- New: Spanish localisation by Javier de las Rivas.
- New: New Trigger-Attribute: MUIA_NListtree_SelectChange.

UAE-JIT: Service Pack for 'Ipswich Town'
On December 15th, 2000 Bernd Bernie Meyer has released a service pack for the
'Ipswich Town' version of 'UAE-JIT' for Linux/386, which is an Amiga emulator.
This Update in general fixes bugs of the previous version. Particulary it was
made more stabel, and portable while speed did not change. So this update in
general addresses those who had problems with the previous version in using
or compiling it. A detailed list of changes made are to find in the
WHATSNEW-JIT-Text.
This version is available as Linux/x86 binary for glibc V2.1 or glibc V2.0 in form of
complete source code or source code patch for the
UAE V0.8.15
Source code. In the source code archive the file 'dirct_access.c' is missing, which should
be downloaded separately in addition.

Nick Montfort talks about the Amiga's good multitasking - but now which is being implemented
in MacOS X - and other good features we don't want to miss on our computers. It is also
mentioned that an new Amiga is already under construction.

New InstallerNG
I have uploaded a new version of InstallerNG to the support page (and to Aminet).
A stupid bug in the message system of the built-in BOOPSI GUI has been fixed, and
new is the CALL-PLUGIN function which allows the user to implement own functions
in InstallerNG by a typed API and to use it from a script. Example source code for
this as well as for all of the other API modules are included.
