• a detailed guide how to boot Amithlon from the hard disk,
• bootable CD and floppy images for testing existing hardware for Amithlon compatibility,
• an up-to-date FAQ.

• Complete Bayer/Flamsteed data base (historical naming of stars)
• The DA screen is now public.
• The printer output can now be previewed in a browser.
• Online information about several hundred stars.

• Drawing Deep Sky objects into the printer output caused crashes.
• The evaluation of the mouse position in the PPC versions had not always worked.

• After several years on a journey the sourcecodes finally came back home;-) Yes, it's me (Georg Hörmann) again, still alive and kicking virus asses... Thanks must go to Alex van Niel and Jan Erik Olausen for keeping the project alive! This update was done by me alone, but in the future, Jan Erik and I will keep the library up-to-date together.
• Rearranged and enhanced the security stuff inside the library for 100% detection of any (illegal) function patches. Programs like 'ZeebsVS' will no longer work with this version. Thanks must go to Zeeball for his demonstration of security gaps in the older versions.
• Added support for 'IOZ (512 Bytes)' linkvirus. Thanks go to Zeeball for sending it.
• Added support for 'Rexxfunc' trojan. Thanks must go to Zeeball and Jan Andersen for sending it.
• Totally redesigned the scanner for virus tasks/processes. The new code scans all tasks/processes for every known virus in just one step and can even handle several running copies of one virus correctly (thanks Zeeball for the hint).
• Checked ALL the stuff that has been added in my absence since xvs.library 33.18. See below for what I have changed/fixed. Thanks must go to Jan Andersen, Jan Erik Olausen and Zeeball for sending me the missing viruses and lots of other stuff. Special thanks to Zeeball for the ZeebsVS sourcecodes!
• Fixed file recognition for 'Bastard Installer 1'.
• Renamed 'Miami 4.0 Fake Installer' to 'MUI 4.0 Fake Installer', because that's what it really is.
• Renamed 'CCCP Clone' bootvirus to 'Anal Rapes' (its real name), fixed its memory recognition and added it to linkvirus brain.
• Removed recognition for 'Doubledensity' bootblock, this is just an intro boot.
• Fixed longword access to odd address in 'Jode Capullos 2' file recognition. This caused crashes on 68000 systems.
• Fixed memory removal code for 'Zakahackandpatch' and 'Zakapior'. The processes of these viruses might stay in memory up to one minute after they have been detected, that's not a bug, but their own call to Delay() that we have to wait for.
• Fixed recognition for 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00 Installers' and added the plain version created by xfdmaster.library 39.13.
• Renamed 'MadRoger Short' to 'NoName (248 Bytes)' to follow the guidelines of VTC Hamburg (idea by Jan Andersen).
• Renamed '212 Bytes Link' linkvirus to 'NoName (212 Bytes)' and fixed its memory removal code.
• Renamed 'Explode Trojan' linkvirus to 'Port 9876' and removed the repair code, we can use 'Fungus' code instead.
• Renamed 'Explode Trigger' filevirus to 'Port 9876 Trigger'.
• Renamed 'Port 4097 Installer' to 'Port 4097' and added memory removal code for the trojan's process. The process will stay in memory for a while without doing any harm, see explanation at 'Zaka...' above.
• Fixed 'Hitch-Hiker 5.00' memory removal code. The process gets killed immediately, the patched stack addresses will disappear one by one after a while without doing harm.
• Fixed memory and file recognition and the repair code for 'Motaba 3' linkvirus. Now it restores the correct library jumps and can repair even files that have been damaged by the virus (bad branch offsets!).
• Fixed memory and file recognition and the repair code for 'Bastard' linkvirus. Now restores all patched functions (inside asl.library and VirusCheckerII) and repairs even big files with bad branch offsets.
• File recognition for 'Bastard Installer 2' will now only detect the plain, uncrunched virus as xfdmaster.library unpacks this file correctly.
• Fixed brain entry of 'Port 2421' linkvirus (wrong virus length) and added memory recognition. Moved 'Port 2421 Installer' from linkvirus to filevirus brain as it cannot reproduce itself.
• Fixed 'Smeg 2a' and 'Smeg 2b' memory removal code. The processes get killed immediately and the patched stack addresses disappear one by one after a while without doing harm.
• Fixed repair code for 'Penetrator 2001' linkvirus to handle both ways of infection and added memory removal code (removes the task and 2 of 3 processes, the other one usually should already have been run out or crashed because of bad coding!).
• Fixed memory recognition for 'Bobek 2' linkvirus and tuned the file recognition/repair code. Thanks to Jan Erik Olausen for his bug report about the beta-release of this code.

• Add some code to close TCP ports opened by several trojans.
• Add Neurotic Death 1-5 linkviruses. These are highly polymorphic, but crash on my system if I try to infect some test files. I have received several infected files already from other persons and will try to find some solution for these viruses in the near future.
• Try to get and add GlobVec linkvirus. The only one who has it is Heiner Schneegold (author of VT-Schutz) and VTC Hamburg, but Heiner doesn't give his permission to the VTC to send me the virus :(

John Wilson of FORE-MATT stated "FORE-MATT Home Computing are pleased to be working with a company who still believes in the Amiga platform. We are committed to selling and distributing great games from the past, present and future for the Amiga community. Emerald Imaging have shown that great original games can still be made for the Amiga and we hope to see this continue."

Kelly Samel from the Canadian company who developed AQUA had this to say "Emerald Imaging is pleased to be working with FORE-MATT Home Computing in the world-wide distribution of Aqua. Working with FORE-MATT will ensure that Aqua is available world-wide for all Amiga users. We look forward to Aqua being available through many Amiga dealers, including FORE-MATT Home Computing and directly from our website. It's all about opening up choice and offering quality software and service to Amiga customers and dealers. We feel we will succeed in this goal thanks to Aqua gaining a wide scope of availability and appeal."

• BlueOS could become another alternative operating system for the bPlan PPC board
• BlueOS could show that it's possible to build an alternative operating system on a Linux kernel which is compatible to an existing one (BeOS). Something similar would be possible for AmigaOS for example with AROS.

From the MAD README:

MAD has the following special features:

• 24-bit PCM output
• 100% fixed-point (integer) computation
• completely new implementation based on the ISO/IEC standards
• distributed under the terms of the GNU General Public License (GPL)

Because MAD uses integer computation rather than floating point, it is well suited for architectures without a floating point unit. All calculations are performed with a 32-bit fixed-point integer representation.

We have worked tirelessly to bring you some of the biggest names in the Amiga Industry to World of Amiga Southeast 2001

Amiga, Elbox, Eyetech, Cloanto, & Pagan Games are amongst those who are attending the show ready to see in the new era of Amiga Computing with the eminent launch of the AmigaOne/SharkPPC Zico Spec Machines and beyond. James Daniels, Paul Burkey and Fleecy Moss are just some of the Amiga Celebes will be in attendance at WoA Southeast.

However, all our hard work will be for nothing if we have a poor turnout.

We need every one to come along and show the world that we want an alternative to the dull and bloated OS that has afflicted the masses in the computing world.
Sick and tired of all the doom and gloom in the Amiga market?
In short we want a new Amiga, and just because an Amiga Magazine shuts down, it doesn't mean that the existing Amiga dealers have suddenly ceased to exist or have gone elsewhere.
So turn up to WOA Southeast and support Amiga, Fore-Matt Home Computing, Weird Science, Stellar Dreams, Elbox, Clubbed Magazine, Cloanto, Eyetech, 100%Amiga, VP, and many more by coming along on the day.
Many retailers need shows like WoA Southeast to keep their commitment and businesses going until the next generation Amiga takes off.

Let's make the doom mongers eat a big shitcake, turn up and do us proud!

For more details on advance ticket ordering, full list of exhibitors, discussion forums and how to get there please visit http://www.worldofamiga.com

Until now, Zeoneo was a company that relatively few people knew about. Indeed, it may suprise many people to know that we have been working behind the scenes for well over a year now. In that time, experience and understanding of the systems that make up AmigaDE has been gained and used to develop our first two PDA-targetted titles.

Convex is an addictive puzzle game where the objective of each of the 25 levels is to remove all the marbles.

Planet Zed is a vertical scroll shoot 'em up game that borrows many of its features from the classic Bitmap Brothers game Xenon2.
