Virus: New Trojan virus found
A new trojan has been found today. This trojan says that it will make a key-file that will work with over 250 programs. Well, I guess that there are someone that will fall for this kind of program. The trojan will delete every file that has the "key" in the name of the file, in your S:, Libs:, Devs: and L:.

This is what we know of the trojan:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Trojan name... : MZ-MAKEY trojan
Trojan size... : 34.548 bytes (packed with StoneCracker)
Trojan size... : ? (we have not been able to unpack the file)
Archive name.. : MZ-MAKEY.lha
Archive size.. : 34.734 bytes (lha packed)

(VHT-DK has removed the name and replaced it with 'xxxxxxxxx')

Don't trust programs like this, use your common sense before you try stupid programs like this.......

The xvs.library package will be released very soon.....

Thanks to 'Golds' for sending the archive, and to JEO for the test of the archive.

Individual Computers "Offline"
Jens Schönfeld, known to many Amiga freaks by his "Individual Computers" company, was involved to a serious road accident, this morning.

It is to expect that support questions, etc. will not be replied for some days or weeks. After convalesce he will report his return himself, which hopefully will be soon. (ps) (Translation: mj)

ELBOX Computer


ELBOX: Sound & TV in Mediator PCI
ELBOX Computer released sound and TV board drivers for the Mediator PCI board on a CD named 'Mediator Multimedia CD'.

Some details:

This CD has been prepared to provide you with the selection of drivers for PCI sound cards, TV tuner cards and graphic cards for Mediator PCI busboards for Amiga 4000, Amiga 3000 and Amiga 1200 computers.

The basic features of the Sound, TV & Graphic drivers:
  • The AHI-standard drivers for music cards to provide support for Sound Blaster PCI128 cards based on ES1371, ES1373, CT5880 and EV1938 chipsets.
  • The Sound Blaster PCI128 card makes use of the PCI bus in the Mediator busboard as the busmaster performing DMA operations to/from the external memory.
  • With 8- and 16-bit mono and stereo playback and 16-bit stereo recording plus user-selectable sampling rates from 5kHz to 48kHz, the Sound Blaster PCI128 produces precise audio fidelity.
  • Possible connection of 2 or 4 (optional) speakers for an engulfing 3D-surround sound experience.
  • Two independent stereo DACs for simultaneous playbacking of two stereo PCM channels.
  • Mixer: All inputs can be mixed together. Simultaneous recording from all the inputs is possible. The volume and balance can be changed independently for each input and output.
TV tuner drivers:
  • Drivers for TV tuner cards provide support for tuner cards based on the Bt878 Video Decoder.
  • The TV screen is rendered in the graphic card screen in a user-scalable window (PIP).
  • The TV tuner cards make use of the PCI bus in the Mediator busboard as a busmaster performing DMA operations to the graphic card memory.
  • TV tuner card running in the Mediator PCI busboard does not enforce any extra load on the Amiga's processor at all.
  • When full-screen TV image is generated, data transfer over the PCI bus between the TV tuner card and the graphic card is executed at 44MB/s.
Graphic drivers:
  • Enhanced drivers for the Voodoo graphic card family.
  • In the case of Mediator PCI 1200, the package allows using the memory window jumper set to 8MB independently of the Mediator PCI 1200 busboard series.

Emulator: Today UAE-Jit celebrates 1. anniversary
Today Bernd 'Bernie' Meyer writes on c.s.a.m.:
I did not want to elapse the anniversary completely unnoticed...Today it is one year ago when I announced the very first, slow and rather hacked version of UAE-JIT on comp.sys.amiga.misc which additionally was very bugy. You can find the original posting on Google.

What a year...

Celebrating the day I have composed a site with Amithlon-benchmarks.

It is very interesting to compare the amounts of that time with the ones of today. Now the Celeron333 is a pure developing computer which works under the Celeron566 in the computer room via M-JPEG-Card as a video recorder and therefore I could unfortunately not use both computers for benchmarking...

Take the champagne, celebrate and a threefold hurrah for UAE-JIT...

Maarten Koopmans (REBOL-ML)


REBOL: Rugby 4 (Request Broker)
Maarten Koopmans and Ernie van der Meer have published the Requester Broker 'Rugby 4' for REBOL-System. With 'Rugby 4' you can send requests (messages) to other REBOL-processes which sends back a result (LDC: Lightweight Distributed Computing). The processes may run on a local computer or on a computer in the Internet. The communication can be done encoded. Compared with the last version the following things have changed:
  • Change: 'poll-for-result' removed. Instead of it there are 'result-available?' and 'get-result' (see documentation for further information).
  • Change: The Serialization was improved and works now noticeably better.
  • New: 'sexec' supports now the options '/oneway' and '/deferred'.
  • New: Rugby-servers support now generation of Stub-code which can be automatically imported of clients with 'get-rugby-service <url>'. Thus for all Rugby-service-functions which are available for <url> Wrapper-functions can be dedicated. Therefore it is possible you only have to write 'echo "lala"' instead of 'rexec [ echo "lala" ]'.
  • New: The main archive contains the source code of Rugby in the modul form.
  • New: Documentation (update of the Rebol Zine-article)

AdvoGraf: At full trottle into the grit
Michael Schumacher, the popular Ferrari race driver, queues to the squad of admonishers. He considers the domain michas-formel1-site.de, carried by Michael "Micha" Stanka, to violate his name rights.

AdvoGraf smugly wrote: "At first the questions is, which part of name is to be violated, cause "Michael" rather is a collective term for male Germans than an individual identity feature - and to call someone Michael "Micha" neither is much inventive nor seldom. And that the Ferrari pilot has "Formel 1" for his second (first) name at least was hidden from the author, up to now."

Publication of data of the game BATTLE
Marco Frischkorn writes:
After considering the issue I have decided to publish a part of the data and of the texts of the suspended game BATTLE. Originally the texts of "The great NewsPaper" should be complemented each week to bypass the time until the game has published. Furthermore it was meant as a introducing story.

The story itself represents a small part of the things which you had experienced in the introduction and later in the game itself. Should I meet my former graphicer then I will try to get some Whiteboards for the introsequences.

Furthermore there is a small choice of graphics of the game respectivly of its parts. You can also find screenshots of one or another tool. As soon as I will find a little bit more time I will also add some comments to the most important pictures.

If anybody should ask for the source code...NO WAY!

And now have fun with the things you can find here! (ps) (Translation: dr)
