Makers of Exodus Taken In by Swindler
Fun Time World wrote:
«The makers of the game "Exodus - Tha Last War" apparently were taken by a swindler.
Mariuz Samson (Exodus) voiced on this problem in an
article on the homepage of the
Polish magazine eXec. The person in question, whose name
wasn't mentioned, has also been responsible for the server problems due to which it partly was
very difficult to download the demo version from the page. Similar problems also happened with
e-mails which didn't always arrive. For the alleged hacker attack also the person in question
has been responsible. Unfortunately the swindler was also able to read the e-mails sent to the
group and possibly answered some of those.
If you happened to receive an e-mail with a reply-to address different from the following, so this one
might be sent by the person in question: samsonm@poczta.onet.pl,
darexodus@poczta.onet.pl, sland@skrzynka.getin.pl, and maybe also slandsales@go2.pl.
Now you can reach the group under the following e-mail address:
samson10@box43.pl.»

Individual Computers: ISDN Surfer Driver V1.938
At the download area from now on the new capi20.device, and the new isdnsurfer.device
are available for download. The only change: capi20.device does no longer claim to
be a demo version. This expiry of the software was meant to remind of updating.
Unfortunately the deadline for further development was set too short.
By this we want to wish all of our customers, suppliers and business friends a merry Christmas and
a happy new year.

iBrowse News
Middle of December on the support forum of iBrowse, which was hosted by
www.senduptheflares.com/
and now doesn't exist no more it was to read that Stefan Burstroem, author of iBrowse
has got a full time job, cause he wasn't able to exist from what he gains from iBrowse, any more.
Here the original message form the HiSoft forum:
«Unfortunately, after many, many years of hard work on iBrowse, Stefan
Burstroem (the author of iBrowse) has been forced to get a full-time job.
The revenues coming in from iBrowse sales simply are not enough to support
worldwide marketing plus a salary for the author.
Although Stefan remains committed to iBrowse and the Amiga, it is difficult
to see how he can take the product forward without help. And, even then, I
cannot see how enough revenue will come to pay the people involved.
Please let me know if any of you have any ideas how this problem can be
solved. David»
On the iBrowse product page at Hisoft (see title link) it is mentioned that
it is absolute necessary to have a look at the demo version of iBrowse before
registering, to be sure that the browser fulfils your needs. According to Hisoft
so much changes have happened to the internet, that Amiga browser cannot keep up,
any more.
Here the original text:
«The latest version of the Amiga's premier web browser.
Note that the Internet has moved on and the Amiga has not kept up, so some
modern websites are not accessible on the Amiga because they require software
that is not available for the Amiga. Therefore, before you purchase an
iBrowse 2 keyfile please ensure that you have downloaded the evaluation version
and satisfied yourself that iBrowse 2.2 is suitable for your requirements.»
Conclusion: At this time further development of iBrowse is not to expect. But at
eGroups still a discussion forum for iBrowse users is available:
http://www.egroups.com/group/ibrowselist.

Holiday Executive Update from Bill McEwen
December 23, 2000
Executive Update - Looking Back
Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year to one and all:
Wow, have we been a blessed company. On December 27, 1999 we executed
our agreement with Gateway, and January 3rd 2000 was our first day of
business.
In one year we have been able to release an upgrade to the AmigaOS
(3.9, with our partners Haage and Partner), we have announced and
released two versions of the SDK for the New AmigaDE (Digital
Environment), we have released the AmigaOne specification and
announced two partners in building these new machines, (bPlan, and
Eyetech).
Yes this has been an amazing year.
As we look back upon these last 12 months, there have been many
lessons learned, and it is with these new lessons that we will be
moving into 2001, with clear focus, and numerous new announcements and
deals. Yes, the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas will be great
fun for Amigans around the world, for it is here that the rest of the
world will begin to learn what you already know! :-)
At this time of remembrance and thanks, we are also reminded of our
friends that we have lost. Coz, Bob Cosby is very missed and we think
of him, and pray daily for his wife Marsha. It has been the most
sobering event for Amiga, and it helped us to remember that Family is
what makes Amiga great. We are looking to add many new members to the
Amiga family this year.
This year has been hard for us in other ways also: the stock market
has certainly hindered our ability to raise the capital we wanted to
accelerate our plans, and many of us have had to endure financial
hardships making the dream of Amiga a reality. The Amiga team is
together, and moving ahead quickly towards this new and exciting year.
I want to thank each and every one of you for your continued support
and for everyone hanging in there with us.
We are truly a blessed company.
I want to personally wish everyone a very Merry Christmas, and a very
Happy New Year.
God Bless,
><> Bill McEwen ><>
President CEO Amiga, Inc,

Happy X-Mas
With this entry in the amiga news, we would like to thank you for the many
visits and the great support.
The last year has brought quite some changes to those working on the web. Even
at us, the PC and thus Flash5 have made their entrances - which doesn't mean
that we will leave or neglect the Amiga sector. On the contrary: there's something
planned in the Amiga sector for next year, you'll be pleasantly surprised!
A special thanks to the AMIGA-NEWS-TEAM. Always reliable and latest informations.
Thanks also to Stefan Kost (SOUNDFX) and Patrick Meng (SYMPHONIEPRO) for the
uncomplicated co-operation.
We wish all who read this pleasant Christmas days and a successful and purposeful
year 2001.

and MC68060. Other function were also rewritten from the scratch up. Furthermore,
there are many optimizations and some bugfixes.

Amiga Extreme takes a break
«Amiga Extreme will be closing for a while. This is because I feel
that I don't have the motivation to continue the site, and the fact that there's almost
nothing to post, I don't see much of a point in updating. There are better sites for that
(Amiga.org and Czech Amiga News for example).
Once again, this is not the end, it's just the end for Amiga Extreme on the classic platform.
The next time Amiga Extreme will open is when the AmigaONE release is closing in on us and when there's
some real news for the new platform. I'm already working on a new design and have lots of ideas for
the new AE.
Also, the e-mail addresses will still be up, so you can mail me at syke@amigaextreme.com.
More info will be posted when it's time. I have no plans to leave the Amiga platform, and I'm confident
that the new Amiga platform will be successful. Your sincerely - Stefan "Syke" Falk -
webmaster@amigaextreme.com.»

Back to the Roots Amiga-News 226
Christmas is near and again another year has passed. Therefore
"Back to the Roots" (http://www.back2roots.org) brings you
some nice presents in form of some wonderful classic Amiga
games - as always for free and with permission!
The companies Dynamix and Digital Integration are supporting
our project now, too so the flight simulations Red Baron,
F-16 Combat Pilot and Tornado are now online. Also the great
adventure games Space Quest 1 (the remake!), Colonel's Bequest,
Code name: Iceman and others like Thunderhawk, Wonder Dog, Vroom
and Warhead!
There are interviews with the legendary Scene-musicians "Jester/
Sanity" and "Clawz/Bomb" online, too! Both are telling some
interesting news, not only for music lovers.
As usual there were also tons of Scene-demos, pictures and
modules from Amiga games and the demo scene added.
We'd like to thank all our visitors for their support during
the last year and send greetings to all companies and people
who helped us to keep the classic stuff alive. We wish you
all a merry X-mas and a happy new year.

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.

HTMLread is an extension for the email client YAM that allows reading HTML mails. YAM
can't display e-mails written in HTML for now, as they are sent by Netscape,
Eudora or Outlook. HTMLread discovers, converts and sends these e-mails to a
HTML viewer.
Some changes have been made in the new version:
Two bugs were fixed, it's become smaller, condition images are supported, the
download manager now doesn't open his condition windows anymore when you're
offline, the downloadmanager now knows the option QUIET, better looking
condition GIFs and some more changes.
The Genesis plug-in toggles Genesis automatically on- and offline again for the
download of web-images.
