`17.Nov.2004` MorphZone (Forum)	Genesi set up new official website for MorphOS Genesi reports at the MorphZone they put their official website for MorphOS to a new address (title link) to deal with the latest issues regarding the development of MorphOS (amiga-news.de reported): The new official website for MorphOS is now to reach at www.morphosppc.com. Currently the content is identical to the former site which was available at the old address, but it should be redesigned soon. This new website by Genesi is set up in accordance with Ralph Schmidt said Raquel Velasco and Bill Buck. He is still owner of the major part of MorphOS and shareholder of Genesi/bplan. A fruitful discussion with David Gerber and Stefan Stuntz regarding the future is welcome, but nonetheless development will continue. The upset developers reacted on the launch of the new site immediately and put at MorphOS.net the following statement: "2004-11-17: Genesi is setting up a fake website claiming they own MorphOS. By doing so, they infringes on our copyright. Any version of MorphOS distributed with a new Pegasos is illegal since our contracts have not been honoured. Licenses are withdrawn."

`15.Nov.2004` Chris Perver (ANF)	Text viewer: EvenMore update New plugin supporting PowerPacker compressed files created for EvenMore text viewer. At the minute this will only uncompress PP20 files, with no encryption (PX20) and no passwords, but support for these will follow soon. You will need to download the new EvenMore executable as this plugin uses a new plugin identifier "PACK". Any plugins using this ID will be run before the standard set of file conversion plugins, allowing any uncompression/unarchiving to be done. I plan to take the XPK support out of the main EvenMore executable and put it into a similar plugin. I also may plan to create/adapt a plugin system for saving files, either with compression (PowerPacker, XPK etc), or maybe even saving as special formats (such as RTF?). (snx) [News message: 15.
