Tool: LaunchHTML v1.0

LaunchHTML was just released on the Airsoft Softwair homepage. With LaunchHTML HTML files can be displayed by just double clicking their icon on the Workbench. LaunchHTML opens then the system's default browser and displays the file. The system's browser is determined by the OpenURL library which LaunchHTML uses. LaunchHTML is extremely useful for use on CD-ROM.

It was also used on the "The Best Of Airsoft Softwair Gold Edition" CD-ROM to display the HTML files. LaunchHTML is freeware and can be downloaded from the Airsoft Softwair homepage (title link). (ps)

AudioLabs: Update pack for ALPS realtime plugins
There are new plugins for ProstationAudio. Read the original message:

Apparently some graphic board models don't handle masked images correctly. A update pack for ALPS plugins is now available to fix display problems with images placed on plugins' front panels. It uses a different masking method, now working with any model. Updating is as simple as decompressing the archive to the plugins drawer and rebooting.

ALPS is the name of a well-known European chain of mountains, situated not far from here. ALPS is also the acronym for AudioLabs Plugin System, a data exchange protocol for software DSP modules designed to let ProStationAudio users expand their systems without limits.

Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library v33.34 and VirusExecutor v22.21
A new update of the "xvs.library" has been released today. The code for removal of the virus "Hitch-Hiker 5.00" should be there now. We got a helping hand from a former antivirus programmer (Georg Hoermann, known from VirusZ & xvs.library). We know that there have been a lot of updates of the xvs.library in the last 14 days, but the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 virus was very tricky, and Georg Hoermann wrote this to me:

> - Quote start
It's never nice to see such ugly viruses, and the polymorphic code was definitely the "finest" I have seen so far. With the knowledge of several years, you can handle such a beast much easier, but Jan Erik will certainly learn a lot about those things when he continues with xvs.library.
> - Quote end

And I was the one that 'draged' the programming of the xvs.library over Jan Erik's head, when Alex van Niel did not have the time to update anymore. VHT-DK needed a programmer they could trust 100% with viruses, and there was only one, so I used all my 'charm' to talk Jan Erik into it. And I'm happy that we have Jan Erik to update the xvs.library....

Info about the new update of xvs.library:

Name: xvs.library v33.34
chive name: xvslibrary.lha
Archive size: 58.341 byteses
Release date: 6 September 2001
Programmer: Jan Erik Olausen

News for v33.33:

- Replaced the Hitch-Hiker 5.00 detection/removal code. Thanks to Georg Hörmann for writing a better code ;)

- Cleaned up some code. Got some tips from Georg. So the library is a bit smaller now...

- For developers: Added XVSLIST_DATAVIRUSES to xvsCreateVirusList() so that you can view data viruses as well.

Download shortcut: http://home4.inet.tele.dk/vht-dk/amiga/xvs/xvs.htm

Remember if you use VirusZ, VirusChecker, Safe and VirusExecutor you must update the xvs.library to have recog for the latest viruses.....

Also a new update of VirusExecutor, here is the news:

Name : VirusExecutor v22.21
Archive name: VirusExecutor.lha
Archive size : 285.082 bytes
Date: 6 September 2001
Programmer: Jan Erik Olausen

News in v2.21:

- Fixed font problem in the memory monitor.
- Fixed some gfx out of range when using VE on a Workbench screen with a display width < 645.
- Starting to write a disassemble function in the memory monitor. It don't know all the commands yet, but it will ;)
- You can now use the arrow keys or the numeric key pad to scroll in the monitor window.
- Added 'Show data virus' to the menu. Requires xvs.library v33.34+

New Linux_m68k kernel and programs for Linux APUS
Michael Heider wrote:
Under the title link a new kernel for Linux_m68k as well as a new kernel and programs for Linux APUS are available for download. The programs are about a script to configure sound under Linux APUS in case of sound drivers generated as kernel modules. Most kernels downloaded from the developers page have such.

On my homepage you can download kernels up to version 2.4.8 each as both IDE and SCSI versions. On this occasion I would like to thank Mario Frenzel for his effort.

One short note:
I ask the users to access the homepage using my old URL http://home.germany.net/101-109037/index.html, since there are some problems with the domain offeror at this time. (ps) (Translation: mj)

AmiBench


AmiBench will be four years old soon
Press release:
Did you know that AmiBench will be 4 soon?

Alot's happened over the last 4 years.....

I still remember the day that AmiBench went live, September the 26'th 1997. I remember very vividly on christmas day of the same year, clicking on the refresh button in Ibrowse and seeing new adverts everytime I hit it.

I couldnt even begin to re-count how many emails I've had from well wisher's over the year's and how many friends I've made for life through AmiBench being what it is.

I guess there's alot to be said for the Amiga Community. I am sure that some of you know that I've not used a real Amiga in about a year (I just kept blowing them up..), Even through I dont have an Amiga, I'm still here... AmiBench still goes on, and I live in somekind of vain hope that maybe this year We'll be able to release version 2 of AmiBench...

I've long since given up guessing on when (if?) AmiBench 2 will go live, I don't know. All I do know is that We try our best, but not having the resources that we need to dedicate ourselves to making it happen in 3 weeks means it takes ages to finish. All I can say is sorry guys!, it'll happen one day...

Ugh, this little post sounds really depressing... Sorry :(

Anyway, We usually celebrate AmiBench's birthday by holding somekind of Quiz. This year I've sadly not had time to approach anyone and arrange anything. Is anyone interested in giving away some gifts for us to use as birthday prizes?

If so please do drop me a mail as soon as possible!

Repulse Soundcard does not support Movieshop so far (update)
Carsten Siegner writes:
As you can read in the amiga-news.de news from 30.08.01 a new Toccata-emulation was announced as the only emulation to work together with Movieshop of the VLab-Motion.

Unfortunately I have heard from Alien Design today that the 'Repulse' does not work with the program Movieshop. Because the developers do not have a VLabMotion you need to test the functionality.

I have offered help to test the software so it could be done in some time.

Update 06. September 2001:
Stefan Sommerfeld, programmer of the Repulse Toccata emulation, posted in a comment to this message:
This message is wrong in some sense. The MovieShop support was almost finished and will be available on our homepage this very day. Since a couple of weeks tests with MovieShop have been done and except for some little features every thing works quite good, already.
Anybody wanting to test the new Toccata emulation now, should download the new drivers. Of course bugreports are very much welcome.

Warp Emulation Suite: WES Version 1.0
Hitman/Code HQ is pleased to announce the release of WES v1.0. WES (Warp Emulation Suite) consists of a master controlling program, WarpKickstart, and a suite of emulation engines, which allow you to emulate a large number of machines. As time goes by, more and more engines will be added to the suite. It currently supports six, most of which are currently related to MAME, as follows:

WarpMAME - Based on v0.37 Beta 16 of the PC sources
WarpMAME Classic - Based on v0.37 Beta 5 of the PC sources
WarpNeoMAME - Based on v0.37 Beta 16 of the PC sources
WarpNeoMAMEClassic - Based on v0.37 Beta 5 of the PC sources
WarpMESS
WarpNeoPocott

The reason for there being two versions of MAME in the Suite (WarpMAME and WarpMAME Classic) is that MAME is getting bigger and slower all the time, and is moving to a 16 bit only screen mode system. This will make it too slow for our old Amigas. So WarpMAME Classic was born. Play your old favourite games using WarpMAME classic and the latest MAME games using WarpMAME - probably quite slowly until the AmigaOne comes along! :-)
WarpNeoPocott is an early and quick port of a Neo Geo Pocket emulator. (ps) (Translation: gf)
