`07.Feb.2003` Michael Dittmar (ANF)	Inofficial MorphOS-Patch for IBrowse 2.3 Unofficial MorphOS version string patch for IBrowse 2.3. IBrowse 2.3 falsely claims MorphOS system is using AmigaOS. (Particularily misleading since MorphOS systems are reported as running AmigaOS 4.0). This is a crude hack that just replaces all "AmigaOS" strings with "MorphOS", and "3.1", "3.5", "3.9" and "4.0" with "1.1" or "1.2". Better solution should be provided by the IBrowse authors.

`06.Feb.2003` Christoph Gutjahr (ANF)	Filesharing: DirectConnect Client for AmigaOS Diego 'DCR8520' Casorran has ported DCTC ("DirectConnect Text Client") to the Amiga (see also today's report). DCTC is a text-based client for the file-sharing network "Direct Connect". An early beta version of Amiga-DCTC is ready for download. Diego needs beta testers to support him in debugging the program. More information about DC (DirectConnect) may be found on the website of the manufacturer publisher's website for the Windows version. Diego shows how one may get the initial results with DCTC. First you need a list of all usable HUBs: run: hublist >ram:HubList Each line of the list looks like this: [DK]Moviezone©\|moviezone.dyndns.dk\|Min 60 GB. [MZ-Group]\|507\|\|\|\|\| Next you pick out a HUB (in the above example "moviezone.dyndns.dk"), additionally you must select a pseudonym and put in your IP Address (it should work with these minimal entries): dctc --nick=YOURNICK -a=YourHost/IP --hubip=moviezone.dyndns.dk If everything works, you'll now be connected to the HUB and the HUB will show a few bits of information (read it!) and now you may begin to send orders to the hub. HINT: You might be banned for the HUB, when your combination of "Connection" and "Shared Bytes" is not meeting the standard. In such a case you should use the command "/CNX T3" to set the server to a higher connection speed ("Connection") or "/OFFSET 1234567890" to raise the "Shared Bytes" (the amount of the data you are offering). Please BE SURE to read the supplementary documentation, and let us know your experiences with it. Direct download: dctc-0.84.1.lha [HINT: DCTC was unavailable on the master server (title link). The link for the direct download may in that case be accessed via a mirror]. (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 06.

`06.Feb.2003` Chris Hodges (E-Mail)	Thomas Richter in c.s.a.p.: Further Developers Needed Thomas Richter writes in the newsgroup comp.sys.amiga.programmer: As you may or may not know, my Amiga "died" a few months ago and I decided to shelve all support for my Amiga software, starting with DiskSafe and ending with MuLib Packet. A new Maintainer must also be found, one who is interested in further developing all or part of my software. The terms are that the software must continue to be publicly available on terms simlar to the ones that I've established. I will NOT agree, to release this stuff under GPL or LGPL. The skills needed are C (ANSI-C) Programming for one half of the projects and advanced Motorola 68k Assembler for the other. Additionally needed (naturally) an Amiga and a C-Compiler, possibly SAS/C, because the projects are based on this. And Motorola-Assembler, possibly the DevPac, because I used a lot of notes with the macro-functions. The PhxAss is not sufficient for most Assembler-based projects. The "earliest works" (not the MuLib Packet of course) are documented in German (...). The sources are completely backed up and available and usable, because I was always a bit concerned about backups, and rightly so. Please send inquiries to my normal email address: thor@math.tu-berlin.de. So long and see you later! Cordially, Thomas (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 06.

`03.Feb.2003` T.o.T.	Game: Tales of Tamar - Amiga Public Update V0.48R1 Dear players, it is our pleasure to announce the third official update to the Amiga version. New features in V0.48 R1: rebellion of town added new town anims executables are now crunched (Bitmap-Brothers- or Team17-Style :-)) improved memory management in SetPeople, BlitFigur and Motion, flickering start anim fixed Residencedownload now goes offline immediately after downloading the turn and before decoding it ResidenceUpload shows more progress information Bugfixes in V0.48 R1: hardware check bug with MorphOS/Pegasos fixed memory for CloseAllPattern is properly freed now bugfix with loading/unloading units slider in report screen activated training of armies with more than one part didn't create a figure. fixed towns at the worlds turning point can have ports now if the capital was lost and thus the town with ID 0 disappeared, Bardstale and diplomacy created a new town with Id 0 SMTP Auth problem with some servers fixed If two or more towns were founded at the same time, names could be messed up A word about rebellions: Rebellions are a way of stopping players growing uncontrollably. From a certain size of a realm onwards you need to have town guards or risk that town rebelling against you. A rebelling town can no longer be controlled. You need to send a big enough army to restore order. Rebelling towns are also easier to take over for other players of course. Soon, there will be another update that will introduce the option of taking vassals. This makes it possible to extend your power even further and ascend through the ranks towards emperor. Unfortunately, the test phase of this feature is not completed yet. The current version should also please users of a Pegasos and MorphOS. There had been a problem with registration but this is now fixed. What else is going on around Tales of Tamar? Quite a lot, actually... First and foremost, we would like to thank AmigaFuture [a German Amiga print magazine] for the new "Messenger from Tamar" feature. It appears in every issue and reports the current events on Tamar. Georg Breitsprecher sums up updates, events, tips and tricks and rank lists. We are very pleased about this co-operation with this magazine. We were also reviewed in the current issue of AmigaPlus [another German magazine]. In the four page long report, we received 6 out of 6 points. A very gratifying result. Thanks to Nico Barbat and the team. We would also like to thank the Amiga community for the award as Game Of The Year 2002, which was also hosted by AmigaPlus. Even if the sales don't show it yet, the still active Amiga users show us that it is still worthwhile to support the market. We know that there are more active users out there and we hope to convince some of you to buy this game as well :-) Meanwhile the PC version is progressing equally well. We recently received an offer from Vivendi Universal, which is a real honor for us. Vivendi Universal is a publisher of high-quality games, the whole line of Blizzard games, for example. Last but not least, we would like to point to another event. On February 28th 2003, the third Tales of Tamar con will take place at castle Hessenstein. This time, we will take it slow and just celebrate in a dignified way. Unfortunately, the event is booked out completely already, but we will report from it. Until the next update, we remain, with best regards and saying "Amiga forever" Wolfen & the ToT-Team (ps) [News message: 03.

`30.Jan.2003` VMC Harald Frank (ANF)	TV-Card Software: AmithlonTV Beta 245 Guido Mersmann has released beta-version 245 of the TV-Card driver software AmithlonTV. New in this version: WARNING! Due the latest changes I cleared the libs/tvcard_carddata/ drawer. If you perform a fresh installation just drag and drop the required tv card file(s) from the storage_carddata into the tvcard_carddata drawer. This change was required, because several cards are using the same hardware ids, but they also need a different setup. FEATURE: Added the missing global setup which is required for non card specific drivers like audio mixers. FEATURE: Optional Volume_AmiMixer.lib allows to modify the volume within applications (requires amimixer.library). BUGFIX: TVFakeInterrupt() wasn't working correct in special cases. FEATURE: The missing "Notify" interrupt feature implemented. "Volume_AmiMixer.lib" enhanced to support this feature. BUGFIX: Removed the ghost card which appeared with the bt8x8 audio section and the Philips enhancement. Currently the section will be suppressed by the library. Later this will be handled by the configuration, but currently this is the best solution. Download: AmithlonTVBeta.lha (ps) (Translation: dm) [News message: 30.

`26.Jan.2003` Amiga Lan Party Team (ANF)	Amiga Lan party in Braunschweig cancelled The Amiga Lan party in Braunschweig, which had been planned for 8th and 9th February 2003, has been cancelled due to lack of participation. At the current number of registrations the operating expenses for a LAN party don't make sense. We, the organisators, regret having to realise that there is hardly any interest within the region, and thus cancel the party. Sorry to all of those who had registered. If the assessment should change some time during the year, we would be glad to start a new try. Cyborg & Maniac (ps) (Translation: cb) [News message: 26.

Unfortunately this petition has failed. I want to explain in the following lines why it is so. Two weeks after the start of the petition I have sent the first list with all signatures (without email addresses) to DCE per email. I got an answer of DCE at once. DCE wrote that they would be glad about a support of OS4 and that they are interested in the current discussion. We got the information of Steffen Häuser that the cybpci.library written by Ralph 'Laire' Schmidt will not work in the 68k emulation because of the 68k MMU setup. So the petition still became more important because presently GRex users have no chance of getting AmigaOS 4.0 started. We got all information per email which Hyperion needs to support the GRex. Four addresses are needed: The base of GRex I/O address The interrupt acknowledge address The base address of config space mappings or the PCI-config and PCI-data address No circuit diagramm, hardware or software documents are needed. These information I sent DCE per email. I have not got any response until today. Then we got the information that bplan has the hardware rights. This means DCE has only a licence for the GRex. If this is true or not we do not know. One week ago I contacted Mr. Carda per email for getting clearness. But I also have not got any response until now. That is a pity. Now we hope that we can attract attention by posting this article. Thank you very much again to all participants... The attempt of moving something forward means so much to us - also if it may fail.

The first is from January 14th and covers the topic: "Hacker Group: Spy Tool for File Exchange Software." According to this there is apparently a hacker group in the service of the RIAA which uses a covertly installed worm in Windows and Linux media players to see what media files the user has, then sends the information back over the Internet to the music industry (RIAA). In the second article, from yesterday, comes this: (Music Industry: No Spying in File-sharing Software), denies the RIAA, who have something to do with all this.

`13.Jan.2003` AmithlonTV	TV software: AmithlonTV beta version 229 Guido Mersmann published beta version 229 of the TV card driver software AmithlonTV. CHANGED: Complete rework of the current video_bt8x8.lib. Many routines replaced, improved or completly removed. BUGFIX: Fixed a memory allocation problem. The video_bt8x8.lib didn't work on non powerpci.library systems, now this is fixed. BUGFIX: TVCard.library is now able to detect the Philips video chip which is using the pci subclass "other" instead of video. FEATURE: New option "Push in screen"! When using PowerWindows you're able to drag windows out of the screen, which is very useful. My TV window is placed at the right bottom of the screen by default. When using the menu/hotkey to enlarge the window it stays there and grows into the screen border. By using the new option the window position is automaticaly changing to fit on screen.

With Martin Wolf of Eternity we try from today on a new kind of advertisements. amiga-news.de sets up a banner for a product, in this case 'Tales of Tamar', and for every purchase that was done via this banner amiga-news.de gets a provision.
