Also, new virus translations added to the Amiga Virus Encyclopedia. VIRUS HELP DENMARK Hi All.... A new linkvirus has been found a few days ago, but not in the wild. It was send to directly to Georg Hoermann (programmer of xvs.library) by the virus-programmer. Georg received the whole source code. This new virus, named "Harrier A" was able to disable the antivirus programs, but with the new xvs.library v33.36, this in no longer possible, due to the new security stuff in the xvs.library code. And maybe that is the reason why the virus-programmer send the code to Georg Hoermann. We do not know if this virus was released in any way, so if you get a requester poping up, telling you that something is trying to disable the xvs.library, please let us know. This is what we know of the virus: Virus name.... : Harrier A Virus Type.... : Linkvirus Virus size.... : 4.800 bytes (Uses polmorphic engine) Infects....... : 020+ machines In the decoded virus you can read: .[ Harrier .A 1.02 virus, (c) by xxxxxxxxxxx..xxx ] .Markus! Come back!Hç..,z (xxxxxxx = Programmers name, removed by Virus Help Denmark) The xvs.library package will be released very soon..... Thanks to 'Georg Hoermann' for sending the archive, and to Zeeball for the first test. (sd) (Translation: sk) [News message: 29.

`28.Oct.2001` Horst Diebel (ANF)	Game: Graphics competition for Schlachtfeld Horst Diebel wrote: Since we are urgently needing new graphics for phase 2 of the Schlachtfeld development and our own recources are quite limited, we decided to start a graphics competition. Since Eddy already eagerly designed units this competition is about creation of background graphics. Those patterns should be of 256+ colours at the size of 16x16, 32x32 or 64x64 pixel. Different scenarios are needed for the backgrounds, such like swamps, grass or hill landscapes, craggy and rugged mountains, towns, deserts, .... Partitipants are free to chose a subject - but we would be happy to get informed in advance just to have the chance to discuss our ideas. As first prices two new A1200s are at our disposal, also there are several packages with Amiga software classics and Aminet CDs. Maybe the number of prices will increase, but we ask you to take into account that this project still is about creating free available software, which of course qualifys what we are able to give as prices :-( Anybody can participate, the graphics must be free from third-party rights, and in the case of a price winning graphic we must get entitled to use it for comming versions of Schlachtfeld. Ok, as usual we would be happy to get feedback.... To determine the winners in a way as neutral as possible we called up several representatives of the community to join the jury - but just have a look at the website..... Also there are more information and even more soon. PS: As usual, of course we still are wanting people who would like to cooperate in this project; conceptional, as programmer or graphics artist.
