Search engine: Google violation of security
When Google started to indicate documents like PDF, RTF or Word-files and made them visible at google.com, many webmasters had to think about the fact that they probably did not configure there servers the right way. But now there are some hints that, at least in some cases, this was maybe wrong.

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.

Webmaster have to take new measures to protect their sites from being indicated by spiders. Further information is available at the title link (German). (ps) (Translation: sk)

Messenger: StrcICQ V2 - Third beta version
On the homepage of StrICQ the third beta version of the ICQ client V2 is released.

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!!

Amiga Expo


Event: Amiga Expo - Extreme Computing Annouce Amiga X1200
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE - Extreme Computing Announce Amiga X1200

Amiga Expo and Extreme Computing are pleased to bring you the following press release. Please make plans now to visit Amiga Expo on March 29th-31st at the Marriott Hunt Valley Inn in Maryland where you will see all the latest developments including those from our friends at Extreme Computing!

Extreme Computing (a branch of Extreme Corporation) began reseach and development of new Amiga-based products in the Spring of 1999. With the announcement of the Amiga x86 solution in the Summer of 2001, we began working overtime to come up with new designs of x86-based hardware that would be powerful, functional, compelling, upgradable, and above all else - Amiga and AmigaDE compliant!

The results have far exceeded our expectations. Our new line of x86 based Amiga hardware will ultimately usher in new levels in design and performance for the Amiga consumer computing experience. The main goal was to give the consumers back a true Amiga system. One where you can take it right out of the box and boot up to an Amiga screen without any hassles or unnecessary complexity.

One of our guiding concepts was to combine classic designs with modern technology - thus bringing you the Amiga X1200 computer system. This system offers the design and compactness of the original Commodore Amiga A1200, but with all new, and blazingly fast, hardware under the hood. The Amiga X1200 is the ideal replacement, or addition, to your Amiga computing needs.

The Amiga X1200 isn't the only exciting new hardware we have coming. Extreme Corporation will have several MORE innovative and powerful Amiga solutions on display at their booth at Amiga Expo. All of these designs are will be shipping with Amiga OS x86(3.9) pre-installed and will come with a full copy of Nova Design, Inc.'s ImageFX 3.2 on CDROM. As a special show bonus, all orders placed at Amiga Expo will also come with FREE SHIPPING.

Extreme Corporation (Formerly Amitech Electronics) was founded by Amiga Enthusiasts to assist in providing Amiga Owners with useful tools and information for an ever growing computing experience.

Nova Design, Inc. are the creators of Aladdin 4D and ImageFX - the Amiga's most consistently top-rated image editing and special effects package and are the hosts of Amiga Expo. See us all at the show!

For more information on other exhibits and information about Amiga Expo visit our web site at www.amigaexpo.com and sign up today! Don't forget to get your hotel rooms and banquet tickets! You can order everything online or by toll free number as shown on the web site. (ps)

Virus Help Denmark: VirusZ III v0.97
Georg Hoermann has made an update of VirusZ III, and the bugfixed update is now available for download at our homepage.

Here is some info about the update:

Name: VirusZ III v0.97
Archive name : VirusZ.lha
Archive size : 50.208
Date : 2 March 2002
Programmer : Georg Hoermann
Requires : OS 2.04+, xvs.library

News in VirusZ III v0.97:

  • Fixed bugs in window calculation code that caused the resizeable windows (Vector Check, File Check) to look ugly or to not open up at all. Thanks to Crown/Cryptoburners, DMX, Paracels/Placebo, Jan Andersen and Mad Roger for the bug reports...
  • Moved size-gadget in resizeable windows from the right border to the bottom border (looks much nicer and takes less space on small screens) and re-fixed width of these windows.
  • Re-added support for ALL disk-based devices to Bootblock Lab on special request from Mikolaj Calusinski. Are you happy now? :-)
  • Added disassembler mode to the Bootblock Lab. This should help experienced users/programmers to analyse unknown bootblocks. Note: This feature requires 'disassembler.library' v40.x by Thomas Richter, you'll find it in Aminet...
  • Made Bootblock Lab window resizeable as the disassembler output becomes quite big sometimes.
  • Changed the file format for saving window positions. Sorry, but if you already had arranged your windows individually, you will have to position them all again and save the prefs afterwards.
  • Started adding Sector Check (at least the device selector, the real check is not implemented yet, sorry for that :-(
  • Added recognition for mmu.library patches to Vector Check and fixed some smaller problems.
  • Finally wrote at least a short documentation for VirusZ III.
STILL TO DO LIST (no specific order):
  • Optimize File Check (output is much too slow, checking archives cannot be canceled at the moment).
  • Add a fully working Sector Check.
  • Add new features to Vector Check (eg. a brain for known ROMTags, a snapshot function for unknown patches [you can send me those snapshots and I add them to the brain]).
  • Add disassembler mode to Memory Monitor.
  • Add useful commands to ARexx port.

Amiforce: Amiblitz section and new forum
As promised life has been breathed into the Amiblitz section on Amiforce. From now on is the manual for Blitz2 in German available as HTML version for online reading or ready for download as offline variant.

Furthermore has a new forum been installed. There's a poll in the Amiblitz area regarding this topic. The forum can be used as a place to go for Amiblitz programmers and for people who want to become programmers.

Further planned contents of the section:

  • Complete users and reference manual in German.
  • Tutorials and courses.
  • An own distribution.
  • Example source codes and much more.
This will take some time. So it's clear that not all can appear at once. The main goal of Amiforce is to make Amiblitz more popular again. With the release of the documentation should also beginners succeed in learning this language. The first step is made. All interested are kindly invited. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Richard Kapp:
We had promised it already for the last weekend but due to a lack of time it was just now possible for us: the review of the recently for the Amiga released 'Puzzle Bobble' clone 'PuzzleBOBs' has now been released at the GFX-BASE. Enjoy reading!

Changes at the GFX-BASE
Quite some things have changed at GFX-BASE: so has the comment function been much improved. You can now send anonymous postings, too, the last 5 comments are shown at the bottom, the preferences have been improved and you can now get a clear list of all existing comments displayed. Besides that, there have been further downloads and links been added and we promise some more surprises for the coming weeks. (ps) (Translation: wk)

AmigaOSXL: experiences report about H&P Big-Tower 1800+
Dietmar Knoll:
I have summarized my experiences with the AmigaOSXL-Big-Tower by Haage&Partner in a review. The review contains for now the first steps up to the running Amithlon system. The first updates for Amithlon are described as well.

Planned are extensions regarding the subject software troubles and of course for AmigaXL/QNX. The next thing I'll do is translating the review to English.

I'm very interested in reactions on the review as I have the feeling to be the only owner of a H&P Big-Tower. Besides would it of course motivate me to continue the review. Also welcome are corrections and completions/enlargements of my experiences. (ps) (Translation: wk)

Online Freeciv competition among Amiga users
On Sunday, 03.03.2002, takes an online Freeciv competition among Amiga users place, beginning 14.00h. People who want to participate should be on the channel #amigafun on the server ie.altnet.org from 13.30h on because of planning reasons.

Required is much time as a game can take several hours and besides that one hould already know the game a little (or the old Civilisation game) as it is right complex.

The played version is 1.11.x as the 1.12.x for Amiga has too many bugs.

Downloadlinks:
Amiga: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/amiga/freeciv-1.11.0.lzx
PC: ftp://ftp.freeciv.org/freeciv/packages/windows/old/freeciv-1.11.4-win.zip

The server the game will be finally running on will be announed on the above mentioned IRC channel! (ps) (Translation: wk)

First News about Papyrus Office (Update)
Click on the title of this article to reach the website of Papyrus Office, which is being ported to MorphOS and Amiga PPC.

It is a new office suite that fully supports PPC processors. It features word processing with desktop publishing capabilities, import/export of Word documents, and spreadsheet calculations with Dbase export, databanks included.

Supplement:
We inquired with Michael Garlich about an Amiga version. It looks like there is no version planned for 68k, however a version may be made for Amiga OS 4.0 if the required infrmation and specifications are provided by Amiga Inc. Right now the Macintosh version is available, and the MorphOS version is underway, with a demo planned for May, 2002. (ps) (Translation: dm)

Amiga Arena


Amiga Arena: Interview with Volker Grabbe
The lack of commercial software and the resulting gaps have been bridged well with freeware and shareware programs just for the applications section during recent years. But most Amiga users are missing an up-to-date browser and an office package which truely allows to exchange data with other platforms.

Especially for "text processing" the Amiga is not up-to-date, any more. The Amiga Arena talked to Volker Grabbe, who established the "OpenOffice" project and set himself the target to put an end to this nuisance with the open source variant of Sun's "StarOffice 6".

This interview is available in English, too.

Because Volker Grabbe cannot implement such project on his own, he raised a little team and still relies on help from the Amiga community. Everybody wanting to participate in this project, please contact Volker Grabbe for more information.

Olaf Köbnik: "Dear Amiga users, it would be nice if numerous developers would come to work on this project. The way users are fighting each other is incomprehensible to me. We all benefit from such projects and should account ourselves happy for still having enthusiasts in the Amiga section, who "sacrify" their spare time for us and the Amiga. Deliberately I did not mention any comparable product here, because this message mainly intends to call attention for OpenOffice!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

peer2peer Morpheus changing protocoll
The peer2peer file sharing system ´Morpheus´ is changing the file sharing protocoll. Since the start of Morpheus the FastTrackSystem was used, which had some security gaps. After the change Morpheus users could not log into the system, because the existing software was not compatible with the Morpheus client any more. Morpheus now is about to use the Gnutella protocoll.

If MusicCity will allow other Gnutella clients, there would be a better chance again for the Amiga to get MP3s and video files, than it is currently possible with Amster (with the navigator).

There already is an unfinished Gnutella client called AmiGnut for the Amiga on Aminet. Sources are available in StormC format. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Remedy Systems supporting AMIGA - AmiDynDNS Version 0.9
Costel Mincea is happy to announce that the Remedy Systems OHG will support the Amiga from now on. Remedy Systems is a quite young software and web design company and decided to develope software for the Amiga, too.

First there will be little but useful tools released. The DynDNS client ´AmiDynDNS´ was the first one and is available in version 0.9 at the download section. More sophisticated applications are scheduled.



DynDNS Client AmiDynDNS v0.9
AmiDynDNS is a command line based client or the DynDNS.org service. The new version fixes some bugs and implements many new functions.

  • Complete DynDNS support (DynDNS, StatDNS, CustomDNS, and all options).
  • SMC barricade router support (IP directly from DSL router).
  • New config file format (optional), to take all the new options.
  • Local IP addresses are scanned now.
  • Current hosts will not be updated again (prevents hosts from being locked by DynDNS).
Of course AmiDynDNS still offers the "old" functions like optional web based IP recognition or the optional log file. More information can be found under the title link or from the AmigaGuide coming with the archive.

Costel Mincea: "For the rest I would like to apologize to those, who wanted to use v0.82 and had to take some crashes due to my inattention. Sorry!" (ps) (Translation: mj)

Coyote Flux Presents - AuroraRadio
Coyote Flux is proud to announce "AuroraRadio", one of the first internet radio stations to broadcast Amiga Game and Demo modules in between its normal programming. On request a SID tune hour will be integrated in the evenings.

What sets AuroraRadio apart from ordinary radio station is that its aimed at a musical perspective, this means that infantile commercial efforts such as Britney Spears, Limp Bizkit and Eminem will not be broadcasted. Music with more or less modest attitude and at creativity's beauty. Not aimed at 1 genre but for those who agree each genre whether it's classical music, rock, jazz or house or whatever other can be beautiful when well done. Think in the direction of Ken Ishii, Massive Attack, Studio K7 Dj's, Bjork, Future Sound Of London, Beanfield, The Beatles, Richie Hawtin, Tricky, Tori Amos, The Doors, Vangelis, Sade, The Orb, Sneaker Pimps, Oasis, Sun Electric, Everything But The Girl, Squarepusher and Amiga/c64 artists such as Muffler, CNCD, Matt Gray, Martin Walker etc.

The offer is very varied and covers every timeframe in musical history and mat not suit the genre aimed taste of the mainstreamer. The website will be online in 3 weeks, but before that it's best to search for "auroraradio" on the shoutcast website.

Kind Regards,
Coyote Flux (ps)

Audio: Overclocking Delfina Lite with DelfTweak
If you are seeking for more processing power for your Delfina Lite sound card and you are not confident of ripping some of the components off the board and replacing them with others, DelfTweak offers you an excellent alternative: it can overclock Delfina by software means and gain more than enough processing power to encode and listen to MP3 files.

Some features:

  • capable of changing Delfina Lite's internal clock speed
  • displays external and internal clock frequences and DSP frequency ratio
  • supports any external clock (crystal) frequence in addition to standard 4 MHz external clock
  • available frequency range with standard Delfina Lite: 4 MHz - 16.4 GHz!
