The AMIGAplus 03/2002 contains the following subjects among other things:

• AmigaOS 4: Interview with Ben Hermans
• Status Report: AmigaOS 4 decoded
• New: Pro Station Audio 5
• Who ist nun who: AMIGAplus-Redaktion
• Workshop: Web encoding with .htaccess
• Workshop: QNX for beginners
• Shareware Special: The best on 6 pages
• Scenish: Mad Wizards
• u. v. m.

• LOWERCASETAGS/XHTML now also applies to ENUM attribute strings
• XHTML now implies QUOTESTYLE=double
• removed some unused debug code

• Fixed V45 exec.library of AmigaOS 3.9 BoingBag2. It uses quite crude hack to enable it, you'd better have true 32bit memory that doesn't go away at reset for this to work. Works on my BlizzPPC, Wizor's & SMF^'s Blizzard 1260, Cyber2th's CSMkII and Zerohero's Blizzard 2060 at least. YMMV. Note that this hack automatically fixes some buggy programs that peek $f80000 for version information. Thanks to my impatient betatesters: Wizor, Jagge, Cyber2th, Zerohero, SMF^ and Lizard. Special thanks to Lizard for bugging me about this. Also thanks to everyone who mailed me about the problem.
• Improved romfixes module: No longer fails whole module if some sub-patch fails. Now it should be possible to use romfixes as the last module.
• Modified files since 1.24rc2: BlizKick.readme BlizKick/BlizKick BlizKick/BlizKick.ASM BlizKick/Modules/romfixes BlizKick/Modules/romfixes.ASM

The shareware software enables a connection to a Palm computer by 3Com or compatible devices. The program offers among other things HotSync functions between Amiga and Palm.

The announcement of the AmigaOne has motivated him to start again on the development of his program. The next version of 'Sid4Amiga' will contain the following enhancements:

• Reverb - 10 presets with variable return levels.
• A new PlaySid emulation library for use with Delitracker, PlaySid etc..
• An updated GUI for the new reverb settings. (Mixing desk)
• Bug fixes and a reworked library.

microATX mainboard, 133 MHz processor slot, 600 MHz G3 PowerPC up to Dual G4 PowerPC, PC133 memory with two banks, AGP slot, PCI subsystem with three slots, IEEE1394 (Firewire) with 100/200/400 MBit transmission rate, 10/100 MBit network, USB, AC97 sound subsystem, IRDA, ATA100 and more.

The update includes the latest version of the driver for the Voodoo card family:
- Voodoo.card ver. 4.14

The update includes the latest version of the driver for the Voodoo card family:
- Voodoo.card ver. 2.14

The new driver includes the workaround to the P96 system to prevent graphic corruption when graphic card memory overflow occurs.

The update includes a new version of the S3 ViRGE driver:
- Virge.card ver. 1.6

Werner Heuser: "Remarkable in the document are the insults at the end, which don't seem usual for writings from lawyers. The legal trouble is documented since its beginning at the MobiliX webpages and is discussed in many mailing lists and news groups. This seems to have impressed the plaintiffs. They now accuse MobiliX of inventing "a new kind of electronical terror", and are ready to sentence MobiliX. It will be interesting to know, which sentence the plaintiff will invent against critical discussion in newsgroups."

Despite the announcements of the plaintiffs, the case goes on: The court in Munich (Germany) has set the date for the first hearing to June 12th 2002.

Tireless, beyond-the-call-of-duty efforts are needed to translate the many daily articles, but this goes without saying. One must be involved often with various issues, and this certainly cuts into one's free time. So at this time we want to give a great "hurrah" and a big, heartfelt "thank you!"

The interview is on my homepage under the heading "User-Ecke." Here is a direct link: Interview.

This years show is shaping up to be one of the most exciting Amiga events the community has seen in years! Amiga Expo will host everything from battling Robots to new systems for running the Amiga operating system. And YOU will be able to see and hear it all from your home through the UGN's webcasting technologies.

The xvs.library contains all the virus recognition and removal code that was formerly included in VirusZ. This step has been taken for one major reason: VirusZ, Virus_Checker, Virus_Executor and all the other antivirus software can be updated quickly without releasing the whole packages every time a new virus appears.

So simply install the xvs.library from this archive to your LIBS: drawer to get 100% protection against the latest viruses.

To be able to check if the library in this archive really came straight from one of the authors, you can use the public key with the .sig files in the archive. If you are not sure or do not trust the included key, then you can always request the original straight from one of us (by email) or get it from the VHT-Denmark homepage.

Here is some info about the update:

Name: Xvs.library v33.38
Archive name: xvslibrary.lha
Archive size: 81.516 bytes
Date: 19 March 2002
Programmer: Georg Hoermann & Jan Erik Olausen

News in xvs.library v33.38 (size: 59.040 bytes):
Just had to fix two problems with the security code:

• a. Timing has been improved to avoid interference with some music software. Thanks to Paracels/PCB for the report and testing.
• b. Expunge of library caused access to deallocated memory in some rare cases. Thanks to Mikolaj Calusinski for the report and the excessive beta-testing ;)
• Fixed (hopefully all) MuGuardianAngel hits in the SurveyMemory() routine. If anyone detects some more, please send me the logs. Thanks to Thomas Richter for his suggestions about mmu.library, but I finally found an other solution. And thanks to Sensei for reporting all his hits.
• Improved speed of SurveyMemory() drastically by skipping similar recognition routines in just one step if their common requirements are not available.

With version v0.42 the remaining city levels have been added. A city can now consist of up to 240 different buildings within four several levels: Village, town, city and metropolis.

At the same time Eternity dares to give a statement: "Now some things like settlers, cavalry, artillery and the statistics screen are missing and then the basis set for ToT has finally finished! But not to raise false hopes: Nevertheless ToT is tested for two years then we will add another two months of intensive tests in order to fix also the last bugs. Massive multiplayer games like ToT are very complexe programs and therefore have to be tested in this way.

What will happen afterwards? Already now we have carefully planned the future. ToT will be continued developing after the basis set, permanently improved and extended. ToT players can integrate with corresponding wishes in the project. All that which is meaningful and feasible we will add. Already now there are plans:

• Building castles
• Online-knights competition like archery, lances pang a.s.o.
• Pedigree-management for the players
• Specialists (clerics, wizards)
• Royal secret service
• Spying, saboteurs
• Library with extensive documentations of ToT
• 3D-card in ToT-fashion
• Battlescreens

As always the software is in an early beta phase and the GUI is still provisional. At the moment it is interesting if the tv-card is recognized. Definitively the following ones should work:

• WinTV PCI/FM - picture, tuning, stereo/2-channel-sound, radio, ext. Video/S-Video-In with sound.
• WinTV Go - picture, tuning, tv-sound.
• Medion (ALDI) last version - picture, tuning, stereo/2-channel-sound, Radio, ext. Video/S-Video with sound.
• miro PCITV picture, tuning, ext. Video, sound.

• Fixed avi palette handling. (bug introduced in 0.17)
• Optimizations in OpenDivx decoder.
• DivX 5.0 codec supported.
• Angel Potion codec supported.
• Added support for several different motion jpegs codecs.
• Few bugfixes in AVI parser.
• Introduced external plugins, only few converted to new API so far.
• Crash when NOVIDEO option was used. Fixed.

Amiga® To Provide Content For Next Generation Windows CE .NET-Based Devices

Amiga Games and Productivity Applications Will Target Windows CE .NET

San Francisco, CA - March 12, 2002 - Amiga, Inc. announced the release and distribution of Amiga applications targeted at the Microsoft Windows CE .NET operating system. The applications will run on any of the range of Windows CE .NET-based devices including handhelds, smart phones, web pads, and set-top boxes.

Pferderennen offers:

• Entertainment for up to eight players
• Detailed "horsepowers" ;)
• Up to 30 stables with respective up to 50 horses
• A horses editor
• Possibility of saving game scores

The update includes the following things:

• Inga-engine version 1.0/6 (beta)
• Audio-CDs can be played (via cdplay.library).
• New script commands: pre-loading, clearing, ilkabove, ilkdown, "LadeLaufkarte", "AusDieMaus", "Leistensperre", "LeistensperreAus" and menu.
• The two mouse colours were changed to be equal to the workbench-standard.
• Developer modus integrated. Thus it is possible to load old game scores with processed script versions. Besides this the inventar and the variables can be changed during the game.

"OrtEditor" version 1.1
In a new menu you can select between German and English script-language. If you push the key <DEL> while positioning a graphic element the element will be invisible or visual again. This is very practical if you want to test if an element sits right on the background.

Many thanks to Christian Busse for translation and follow the call of Mathias Roslund - send feedback, a feature request or simply a good joke!

1. Fixed the '*** NULL POINTER ***' text some people reported showing up in the contact list. It was caused by sending or receiving a message to/from a UIN in the 'Not in List' group.
2. Now that the above bug is fixed, sending or receiving a message to/from a UIN will cause that UIN to remain in the contact list even after restarting STRICQ. However, there will be no status changes for those UINs.
3. When a UIN shows up in the 'Not in List' group, STRICQ will now request that UIN's short info and display the Nick in the contact list.
4. Fixed a long-standing bug in the contact list display that would cause a crash if the existing nick was changed after the UIN was already inserted into the contact list.

• You cannot add contacts manually yet. If you have never used ICQ2001b, don't bother using STRICQ V2 at this time.
• If you have used ICQ2001b before, STRICQ V2 will import your contact list from the server
• If you get an enforcer hit, please forward it to Douglas F. McLaughlin on the message base. You should use <pre></pre> tags.
• You will need the latest versions of NList, NListtree and TextInput. Links for download are available at STRICQ-Homepage

Features of the Mirage 4000 Pro:

• Mirage 4000 Tower-case with 300W powersupply
• Mirage A4000 Zorro III/PCI Busboard
• Mediator PCI 4000

The Scene-event The Gathering takes place in Norway, where our retail partner Data Kompaniet will hand over our contribution to the competition prices.

Furthermore the upcoming update will contain:

• Online-access of GSC-2 catalogue of stars
• Improved zoom-function

This update contains some minor bugfixes of a bug that is not fixed in the original unix version.

• TheCrypt22.lha
• CrM.library.lha

• Offline messages are now requested, displayed, and cleared from the server.

Name: VirusZ III v0.98
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 54.288
Date : 9 March 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires : OS 2.04+, xvs.library

News in VirusZ III v0.98:

• Fixed bug in vector check kickmem brain that caused all patches to be recognized as 'AmigaOS ROM Update'. Sorry for that!
• Designed a new display format for the vector check. This one looks better and is more informative than the old one.
• Added brain for kicktags to the vector check. This one currently only recognizes 'AmigaOS ROM Update' and 'ramdrive.device'.
• Added the 'Snapshot' function to the vector check (as I promised). Now you can snapshot every unknown patch that causes alerts on your Amiga and send me the results. This makes it possible for me to even add patches that I cannot install on my computer. Read the manual for detailed information!
• Added recognition for ppc.library v46.37 to the vector check. Thanks to Jean-Michel Chapron for the handmade snapshots.
• Added disassembler mode to Memory Monitor. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown vector patches.

For questions and discussions on personal basis, though, they are still at your disposal.

Here's the complete message in English in which they explain their move:
Recent events have given me the impression that it has become impossible in the Amiga community to speak up in self-defence without someone taking offence in it. Thomas and me have therefore decided (in in fact already did so) to unsubscribe from all amiga-related public mailing lists, newsgroups and web forums, and we have deleted all our Amiga bookmarks.

Work on our projects will not be affected by this. OS 4 will still be developed in the same way it used to be. We're just pulling out of the public.

I'm sorry we have to take such drastic measures, but it simply doesn't work otherwise anymore. You can still contact us personally, we're open for discussion, but no longer in public. Fact is that everything we say will end up on some web page or forum, being dissected to death and commented with all sort of nice wording, so the best solution is obviously to say nothing at all.

Thanks for reading this.

In Payback you are taking on the role of a young driver being on the run. The goal is to become a big gangster boss.

The AMIGAplus 03/2002 that was to be released on March 13th will be delivered because of this printing delay about three days later than planned. We ask for you to excuse this.

That's why I decided to change to YahooGroups. As far as I know not everybody is satisfied to be stored in a YahooGroup so I deleted the old subscriptions completly.

• 07.03.02 improved: Xybots (Tengen) supports another version, minor changes
• 07.03.02 fixed: Disposable Hero (Euphoria/Gremlin Graphics) SMC removed
• 07.03.02 updated: Street Racer (Epic) misc changes
• 05.03.02 new: Crack (Linel) done by Psygore

Ian Greenway:
This version has a small amount of code changed in the Z80 core which I was hoping would offer some small speed increase. Despite the fact it is shorter code, fewer clock cycles to execute, and cleaner, it seems to actually run about 5% slower on my '060. :-( Still, the code was optimised for '030, so maybe it will help there!

WinUAE 0.8.21 Release 2 (07.03.2002)
====
- FIXED: custom chipset emulation fixes (me, Bernd Schmidt)
- FIXED: JIT FPU (Bernd Roesch)
- FIXED: filesystem emulation (Bernd Schmidt, Stephan Riedelbeck)
- FIXED: PC joystick 2 (me)
- FIXED: mouse 2 emulation (me)
- FIXED: multiple CD32 CDROM and uaescsi.device updates (me)
- FIXED: bsdsocket (Bernd Roesch, Stephan Riedelbeck)
- FIXED: configuration GUI memory leak fixed (Stephan Riedelbeck)
- FIXED: keyboard problems (me)
- FIXED: CD32 pad button emulation
- FIXED: serial port updates (Bernd Roesch, me)
- CHANGED: sound emulation (me, Bernd Schmidt)

Important notes, known bugs and workarounds:

• WinUAE freezes before GUI appears? Delete Configurations/default.uae.
• Check your CPU speed settings, they may not be correct if you load old configuration file.
• Sound buffer size is not comparable with old versions. 3 or 4 is usually the best size.
• When using CD32 emulation, keep "Hard Drives"-tab empty.

Included with the LINUX (FOR PLAYSTATION 2) kit is the PlayStation 2 Linux software, an internal hard disc drive (40 GB), a 10/100 Base-T Ethernet Network Adaptor, and a USB mouse and keyboard. You will still need to purchase or supply a PlayStation 2 console, a 8MB memory card (for PlayStation 2) [preferably a new memory card -- once formatted for Linux use, your game data will be erased and you will not be able to save new game data] and a VGA monitor with sync-on-green capability [check your monitor's user manual to see if it meets this requirement].

While it's exciting to see tremendous interest in this new PlayStation venture, there are a few things for you to note before purchasing. LINUX (FOR PLAYSTATION 2) is a tool for Linux enthusiasts and programming hobbyists. Basic understanding of the Linux operating system is strongly suggested for installation and use. Also, be advised that this accessory will NOT enhance your PlayStation 2 games. The hard disc drive formatted for Linux cannot be used with HDD-compatible PlayStation 2 games, and the included Network Adaptor (Ethernet) does not include a modem, which the upcoming standard Network Adaptor will. Be sure to consider all of these factors before making your decision to purchase.

For more information about LINUX (FOR PLAYSTATION 2), please visit the official PlayStation 2 Linux Community site FAQ at :

http://playstation2-linux.com/faq.php

However, this problem should be fixed within the next two days. If anyone needs to send an e-mail urgently, there is another address that can be used: sharwin@thendic-France.com.

• "The Secret of Monkey Island" is 100% functional.
• "Indy 4" can be completed. The "necklace bug" was eliminated.
• The copy-protection used by "Day of the Tentacle" was overcome, and now the game may be played to the end.
• Progress was made in supporting "Sam & Max," which is now playable through Bumpusville. Just don't look at the dragon heart and don't switch off the alarm
• The format for save-games has been changed, so best to start the adventure from scratch.

One thing we would like to mention is that JMiner and the 3D engine are two completely different projects: The 3D objects are compatible with both engines but the renderer is by no means the same. The FPU-based J Miner runs slower when more polygons are added, the integer-based 3D engine will always run at one speed.

AuroraRadio is now officially online and is a Shoutcast radio station dedicated only to quality music. Every style and age of music is played, including Amiga modules and C64 SID music. Currently, the radio station is in its test phase, which means that sometimes the server is down, but under normal circumstances it should be available 24 hours a day...!

Yesterday the following sections were updated:

• Europe
• List of new links
• List of lost links
• History 2002

• New tooltype 'PICASSO96'.
  Use this tooltype if you have problem while displaying brush or text in zoom window. PfPaint will disable the cybergraphics command scalepixelarray_.
• Improve Palette requester and gradient effect when you are using Voodoo and picasso96.
• Fixed a nasty bug with picture <16 pixels.
• New arexx commands:
  • PP_Verbose 0 or 1 (will enable or disable security requester).
  • pp_group N° x y w h stat (will draw box on requester).
• Improve pp_GetLocale.
• Improve Bridge tool, more security, improve tvpaint host, new host tvpaint_layer (by PixelArt).
• Improve Opacity mapping.
• TVPaint's user request: Density mapping can be use as drawing effect.
• Improve Undo-Redo.
• Fix bug with undo and some effect.
• Update PerfectPaint.cd and PerfectPaint.ct.

Actually the C64 is past because it is much too small and too weak for the high demands of the Internet-epoch. Nevertheless some C64 still run on Internet.

Here is the address of a WWW-server (title link) which works with a C64. The only extension being added is an interface card with unbelievelable 38400 bps data transfer rate.

• 04.03.02 improved: Whizz (Flair Software) supports another version, trainer added
• 04.03.02 improved: Vixen / She-Fox (Martech Games) supports another version
• 04.03.02 improved: Great Courts 2 (Blue Byte) supports another version, some fixes
• 04.03.02 improved: Battle Toads (Mindscape) supports another version
• 04.03.02 new: Archon 2: Adept (Electronic Arts) done by JOTD

It fixes a major bug so please do not use older versions. Also now you can disable the Undo function, on slower machines you will increase the speed.

Download: STRICQv2.lha
Please read the important installation hints.

Changes since last release:

1. Type-4 messages are now parsed and displayed.
2. The menu bar has now been added. The Prefs window no longer opens by default.
3. The Debug window still opens by default (I need it) but it can be closed and re-opened with the menu.
4. The status in all message packets is now sent to the GUI as well.
5. Requesting offline messages doesn't seem to be working.
6. The program no longer crashes Amithlon. I don't know why, but I'm happy.

Due to the above mentioned problem we are not able to send our newsletter.

Still we do not know how long the repair will take.

The company Klaus Schallhorn Omnisearch proved that Google indicates so-called secure servers (ssl), too. Although they say that they do not. Meanwhile there are more then 3.8 million secure sites indicated by Google.

Even worse: Google announced that they are fully compliant to the robots.txt-standard but they definitly do not when indicating secure servers. The Google-spiders have already executed over 161,000 cgi-programs one or more times.

If you check the search results of corresponding requests you can find servers that forbid via the robots.txt access to the cgi-bin directory even under the top 10 results.

The features:

• High-quality icons in GlowIcon and NewIcon formats covering subjects such as applications, games, drawers, etc.
• GlowIcon style toolbars for some of the most popular programmes (YAM, AmigaWriter, Art-Effect, Directory Opus, IBrowse, Voyager and others).
• GlowIcon style skins for AmigaAmp and CoolCalc
• Workbench backdrops suitable for the GlowIcon look

Download: STRICQv2.lha
Please read the important installation hints.

Changes since last release:

1. Fixed a major error that involved a race condition in the IPC. A receiving task could actually check for data on the message port before that data actually arrived. The IPC now blocks until the message does arrive.
2. Fixed an error in that some messages would actually not be NULL terminated.
3. Now requests offline messages. If there are any, they won't be displayed! Hehehe...
4. I still need enforcer/cyberguard hits!!
