Morpheus Security Bug at last public Once more Amiga users are informed faster and better than the PC world. As the Amiga Security Page is already reading since 24. August 2001, Morpheus clients can be spied using a simple web browser and avoid any file sharing settings of the client. This concerns all P2P clients using the Morpheus protocoll. See also description of Morpheus on the ASP.
BTW: Now there also is a topical virus / trojan list on the ASP sponsored by
Sophos Anitvirus. |

Running AmigaOS on a PC: Review of Amiga XL OSNews is running a review of AmigaXL, a system that allows you to boot AmigaOS on your PC in a way that resembles a regular-booting x86 operating system. Screenshots accompany the article show the latest version of AmigaOS 3.9 running on a Compaq laptop. With AmigaOS 4.0 coming out in March with lots of new features (antialias fonts, better memory protection etc) is AmigaXL the one true future of Amiga, a future that AmigaDE, QNX and Gateway failed to materialize through their involvement with AmigaOS?

Andreas R. Kleinert: References to pirate copies of my programms wanted Today, I read the article about shareware and pirate copies on amiga-news.de. Very interesting. Well, it is that from time to time people send me illegal keyfiles and/or key generators for my programs - sometimes refering to the source where to find those. This often enables me to deactivate the respective keys, which respond to a certain pattern. So there are faithful users too - who nevertheless stumble upon such things from time to time - and help program authors to embank pirate copying. I would like to offer the following to those users: Who will send me keyfiles for my programs (or the respective generators), up to now not recognized as "pirate keys" by those, will receive an original keyfile at a time. In especially fiddly cases I will charge even more. For multi-transmittal applies: "The first to send in, will win". Naturally data will be kept in confidence and anonymous if desired (the real name is only required for the keyfile).
P.S.: Dubious software gets tested under UAE,
insofar transfecting virsues is useless.

Shareware: Bitwise Operator: The Plain Truth About Piracy In the above mentioned English article by "Ambrosia Software", a company that develops software for Apple computers, the company's experience with shareware and privacy is described. The change from a fully functional shareware to a more crippled version didn't cause people to register 5 times more often as mentioned in the article "Why Do People Register, Does Crippling Work, Does Anybody Really Know?" by Colin Messitt but it triggered off an increase in sales figures. A change of the registration procedure in the middle of last year showed that more than 50% of the people who had installed the update for the software "Snapz Pro X" were using a pirate code to activate the software. The article is available via the title link. (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 03. Feb. 2002, 23:17] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version] |

| 03.Feb.2002 AROS |
AROS: Downloads, JanoEditor, PCI.hidd, DOS After the publication of AROS snapshots on SourceForge 475 downloads measuring 4GB were registered. Daniel Holmen published a Norwegian translation for JanoEditor. Michael Schulz has added a new PCI.hidd. It scans the PCI bus and enables the enquiry of application information via PCI tools. Besides he has started to write something which he calls "nvidia.hidd". Whatever this may be ;-). There isn't a lot of code available but it should run on all boards such as Riva 128, GeForce2 and Quadro. Georg Steger has removed a few problems in the DOS and Startup code which shouldn't try to examine the command line if the program was started from the workbench.library. He has also improved JanoEdit (catalogues are now created. Some small bugfixes for AROS). (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 03.

AudioLabs: AHI driver for Sunrize AD516 Chris Brenner has released an AHI-driver for the Sunrize audio board "AD516" (Zorro II), available on Aminet. The Sunrize's AD516 has been one of the most interesting ZII audio boards. Unfortunately, until now, there haven't been any drivers of any kind for this card, leaving owners in need for realtime software with the only option to use Studio16, the application developed for this hardware by Sunrize and bundled with the product. Lack of detailed documentation, and the fact that Sunrize left the market, prevented people from taking advantage of more modern non-linear editing software, developed years after Studio16. Until now. Chris Brenner has just released his new excellent AHI driver, available on Aminet, that now allows AHI-compatible applications to access the AD516 A/D D/A converters (for SMPTE support, Studio16 is still the right tool). Several applications have already been tested and work fine. Early reports about ProStationAudio and this new development say that the driver exhibits low-latency, extremely important to allow using mixing automation and the 30+ realtime DSP effects for ProStationAudio. More information soon, as soon as they arrive. To download the driver, search for "AD516" on Aminet. Information about the developer is in the driver archive, don't forget to send him feedback. In the Dev-archive the hardware of the board is described. This description is incomplete but good enough to program drivers. Download:

| 03.Feb.2002 Suite101.com (ANF) |
John Chandler: The Light At The End Of The Tunnel On 31 January 2002 John Chandler published on suite101 a new English column about the Amiga in which he talks about AmigaOS 4.0. "One thing that anyone still using an Amiga has gained over the years is a sense of patience. No matter how tough things get, no matter how much the situation ups and downs, most Amiga users will remain fairly patient in the face of frustrations that would have owners of other platforms cursing and wailing. Yes we do get moments of despair, yes sometimes it does look bleak and you can be forgiven for losing the optimism and thick-skins built up in the post-Commodore years... but then things come along and suddenly everything looks bright again." .....

| 03.Feb.2002 Vim (ANF) |
Editor: Vim-6.0.160 VIM is an improved version of the editor "vi", one of the standard text editors on UNIX systems. VIM adds many of the features that you would expect in an editor: unlimited undo, syntax coloring, split windows, visual selection, graphical user interface (read: menus, mouse control, scrollbars, text selection), and much much more. VIM runs on many operating systems: AmigaOS, AtariMiNT, BeOS, DOS, MacOS, MachTen, OS/2, RiscOS, VMS, and Windows (95/98/NT4/NT5/2000) In edition 1 vol. 1 of the Free Software Magazine there is an article which mentions amongst other things how VIM came into being. VIM was developed by Bram Moolenaar first for Amiga and was released for the first time on Fish #591 (November 1991). (sd) (Translation: sr) [News message: 03.

New cartoon: "IBM and Linux", cartoon gallery added Since June we have to get by without the wonderful and accurate cartoons by Torsten Dudai, as he's suffering from a lack of time aswell as a lack of motivation for further cartoons. The more we're pleased that Torsten found two nice pieces while searching through old backups that he wants to share with us. First there's a PDF version of the old Amiga park cartoon, perfectly suited for printing as a poster (to be found under the title link), and then there's a previously unreleased cartoon about IBM and Linux done about six months ago. Additionally, we created a gallery that contains all of Torsten Dudai's released cartoons, and we're inviting you to take a nostalgic trip browsing it. (ps) (Translation: wk) [News message: 02.

Audio: Amplify Amplify is in the version 1.3 online. Compared to the version 1.2 nothing important has been changed. Just the code has been revised a little bit and Bernhard Wörner has fixed one or another small bug in the requesters. In the next version (probably next Saturday) will then the MP3 import be ready. In the current 1.4 beta (unreleased) it works already quite well. This version has just to be tested.
The homepage can from now on also be reached via www.amiga-amplify.de.vu.
