MUI under Windows XP?
Markus Bonet wrote:
To find out about why Windows XP should be so great I looked around a little on the Microsoft website. I really was not aware, that MUI was released for Windows, too ;-))
"Multi-Lingual User Interface - MUI - allows to change the interface's language to display menus, help files, dictionaries, spell checking tools, ect. in the desired language."

But this sure would mean something different, somehow. ;-) (ps) (Translation: mj)

VarIO archive extended
The new VarIO software archive now also contains Parallelport drivers for the Goldsurfer (Hypercom 3 module). Please mind that the ZIP driver can only be used with Goldsurfer models not older than 15 months. For use with older models, a hardware patch is necessary that is also described in the support-area of our website. (ps)

Amiga Demoscene Archive - Database of the best Amiga demos ever released
I'm working on a site about amiga demos. Basically, I'm trying to create an archive for the best demos/intros ever released on the most stunning scene machine ever (the amiga ofcourse). It's still early days yet but I've got 123 demos and 900 screenshots online. Feedback is welcome! (ps)

PINT (mailtext and nlist) is affected by this Bug too. A bug-fix is available at the titlelink. Instead of just fixing this problem for PINT I patched the muilowlevel.library.

Download: muilowlevel.library

Addition: This patch protects all MUI-programs but not all other programs that use APIPE or AwnPIPE. (ps) (Translation: sk)

Individual Computers has licensed appp.device from Haage & Partner
In the course of development of the ADSL-driver for the X-Surf ethernet card, we have licensed the appp.device from Haage & Partner GmbH. Our goal is to speed up the interface between our xsurfadsl.device and the appp.device, so the CPU load will be reduced dramatically. New versions of the device for AmigaOS 68K will be available for free. (ps)

Nostalgica: Amiga Graphics artist + programmer Jim Sachs
While looking around the news pages of CHIP.DE I found a link to the aquarium screensaver in the news on the new Windows XP and it's "self-made plus package". This screensaver was programmed by Jim Sachs.

Until then I had no idea of this name, but as I then looked at "About the Author" (title link) on the serenescreen.com website, some known pictures of the author from Amiga days turned up. A link on this page shows many pictures of his work history, too.

With another link on the same site the Amiga is mentioned again in an interview. To smile: To the surprised interviewer's questions, how it comes that the download of this emotive Windows screensaver is just about 600k in size:
RADEONIC: Probably one of the things that surprised me most was the size of the download. Did you spend a lot of time optimising the code, and did you have any special tricks for compressing textures?
JS: No, I haven't really started to optimize the code yet. Coming from the Amiga, where everything had to fit on a 770k floppy, I am utterly amazed at how huge PC apps have become. What could these programmers possibly be filling up all those megabytes with? The whole ascii source code for the program? The phone book for their area code?

It was a pleasure to me to accidently stumble upon this programmer and those Internet sites and thereby to learn, that he still likes the Amiga, allthough he changed the system. (ps) (Translation: mj)

Tool: Martin R. Elsner on 'StopMenu'
Martin R. Elsner wrote:

«Hello,

just now on St.Martin's day I have some bad and good news for you.

The bad: I will stop development of StopMenu. In the last weeks I worked with full power on StopMenu - only to rename the variables and functions (some still polish or whatever), to add some commentaries (there were quiet none) and to try to change some parts. As final surprise one of many tests made my Amiga crash and thereby destroyed the source code, the work of many days. This and the belief that changing StopMenu is harder and needs more time than writing an own program caused my decision. StopMenu was not only bad written and commented (well, it has grown piecewise and has got the errors from both programmers ;) - no, it also has some very restricting, old fashioned program parts that should be replaced by a modern method.

Before you get the possibility to jump out of the window, here's the good news: One learns from each error. I've seen so many errors ;) that I now want to make Choowin replace StopMenu !! It is written in best C++, uses Reaction, and last but not least I know what I have programmed. And that's not all - the prefs part of StopMenu is not forgotten, but replaced by a connection to MainPrefs !! So both programs will form the beginning of the new environment, where also ClassAction can join. The new project will consist of the taskbar with start menu that allows to open the prefs and later the file manager. Other programs will have the possibility to get an icon in the taskbar.

That's a lot - but the three programs exist, Choowin will grow to StopMenu's functionality (well, not exactly the same) and all of them will be joined to the new MRE ("mainmenu with Reaction enhancements").

You can find a first screenshot of the startmenu on my homepage, the first version will be available soon.

Regards,

Martin» (sd)

Virus Help Denmark: Safe V17.4, Encyclopedia extended
Virus Help Denmark released version 17.4 of the virus detector 'Safe' by Zbigniew Trzcionkowski, today.

'Safe' recognizes viruses in memory and removes them if possible. The following has changes since version 17.3:
  • added new version of HTML document (thanks to Herve Dupont for decompression!)
  • fixed default tool to be more OS conform (thanks to Harry Sintonen for hint)
  • fixed ROM recalc in VECS/S (thanks to Harry Sintonen for the report)
  • fixed little bit the stealth detector (if you get "suspicious actions" message each time you execute Safe please report)
  • WatchDog v1.3: watch doc

    Integrity:

    In one sentence: there is no integrity check this time, as it is now under heavy construction/bugfixing as COMP and CHECK will become one GUI based program and which of course someday has to become part of MILL - new antivirus initiative which seems to be almost dead now :(
'Safe' runs on AmigaOS V2.04+ and requires the xvs.library.

The "Amiga Virus Encyclopedia" has been extended with new virus translations.

They are still looking for translation help. Who would like to translate some German virus texts to English might contact Jan Andersen (vht-dk@post4.tele.dk).

SimpleMail V0.12
SimpleMail V0.12 released. Due to an exploit in MUI in combination with some PIPE-handlers we have released a new version now, everybody actually should update, as the old version has a really nasty security problem. The changes are:
  • Fix for the MUI exploit.
  • Messages can be also encrypted with PGP 2.6.x.
  • Switching away of columns in the message list is possible now. (save it via "Save Prefs")
  • Completation of email-addresses improved.
  • A small menu added to the readwindow that makes it possible to see the raw mail.
  • Mousewheel support of the readwindow is more tolerant now.
  • The attachments are better identified if you have OS3.9 and DefIcons. You can double-click on an icon to start an action (needs also OS3.9 and DefIcons, e.g. double-click on an archive will start UnArc in the default config of DefIcons).
  • Printing of messages and text-attachments is possible now.

Serious security leak in MUI Internet programs? (update)
Following the title link you find an English written document that reveals a severe security leak in MUI programs.

Programs displaying text by using a MUI text object can be forced to execute Shell commands via active PIPE: devices with particular escape sequences. To say it clearly: It's theoretically possible to force for example YAM via a mail with specifically manipulated subject line to delete files on the computer of the receiving person.

It's not an error in MUI or AwnPIPE:/APIPE:, it should be the task of the programmers to filter such sequences before displaying text received via the Internet.

As first security measure it is recommended not to use affected programs anymore or not to mount AwnPIPE:/APIPE: devices during the boot process (remove all PIPE: icons from SYS:Devs/DosDrivers/).

Affected applicationen are for example YAM and StrICQ.

Not affected are the products of Vaporware, obviously the ESC sequences get already filtered here (it's not said from which program versions on).

Update:
Jens Langner, one of the lead programmers of YAM, points out that a hotfix is already in the works and that there'll soon be a 2.3 fix release removing this security leak in YAM.

Update II:
Hynek Schlawack and Sebastian Bauer will as soon as possible release a fix for SimpleMail.

Update III:
As the original text shows seems this exploit danger to be not given using PIPE: as this doesn't offer any start possibilities: "The standard AmigaOS PIPE: is not affected since it is incapable of executing commands". Therefore was the above text changed accordingly. (ps) (Translation: wk)

  • I think I removed the main possibility for the APIPE: exploit to happen by filtering the escape characters from incoming messages/profiles before display. (I didn't even have APIPE: Installed until checking)
  • Don't even attempt to send messages that will cause the exploit, I know of several locations that if the exploit is input, it can strike back at your computer instead.

»The Danish LAN party Connect #12 with 300 participiants in Esbjerg was closed by the Police on 20. October because of illegal data transfers. "AntiPiratGruppen" (APG), a private AntiPiracy organisation, has used undercover investigators who had created logs of the data transfers at the LAN party. Afterwards they ordered the police and the event got closed.
Many of the participiants are now accused to have exchanged illegal data. Furthermore is the organisator of the LAN party, the CompuClub, accused to have made the infra structure (the network) for the illegal data exchange available. The Danish Orgas have already agreement with the APG to pay 100.000 dkr (=25.000 DM) compensation.«

There won't be an output of the found text passages as the computer operations group of the computer science faculty of the TU Munich partout doesn't want to increase my quota and the search engine with 181 MB uses already one third of it :-\

Suggestions are of course still very warm welcome. (ps) (Translation: wk)
