Virus Help Denmark: xvs.library V33.37
On 9. December 2001 Georg Hoermann and Jan Erik Olausen published the version 33.37 of the virus scanner library "xvs".

Compared to the previous version the following changes have been made:
  • Once more added some new security features to the library. It will now try to self-defend after alien attacks, only if these efforts fail, the library gets disabled.
  • Added recognition for 2 demo files that I call 'Anti-UAE Trojan'. Their code checks for UAE systems and in case it finds one will delete important files. Thanks to Jan Andersen for sending the demos to me.
  • Added recognition for a MS-DOS strain of 'Bastard Installer'. Thanks to Jan Andersen for the file.
  • Added recognition and repair code for 'Bobek 3' linkvirus. Thanks to Zeeball for sending me an infected file, even though it was accidentally :-)
This virus scanner library can be used together with VirusExecutor, VirusChecker II or VirusZ.

Mailer: SimpleMail Version 0.13
Yesterday was released SimpleMail Version 0.13. The changes are:

  • Included a real manual at last. Thanks to David Rey!
  • SMTP over SSL.
  • POP3 connections can be made secure with the STLS command now. (RFC 2595)
  • Primitive ARexx-port.
  • Support for playing sounds.
  • Taglines, the last %t in the signature will be replaced by a tagline.
  • Folders holding unread mails are hilighted now.
  • Localization.
Please note: if you downloaded your archive before 2001/12/08, 0:30 am, there were informations about the taglines missing in the guide so the guide has been replaced just now. If you don't want to download the whole archive again, here is the changeg paragraph:

Tick this box if you want SimpleMail to automatically add a random tagline to every email you write. Simply insert a %t in the signature and it will be replaced by a random tagline found in .taglines when composing a mail.

Sorry for the inconvience.

The OOP4A-Project joins forces with PowerD and WizardClasses
"The OOP4A-Project joins forces with PowerD and WizardClasses"
"Stefan Robl, author of OS 3.9's AmiDock, has agreed to support the OOP4A project by providing his class system 'WizardClasses' which is extensively used in all of his programs. The class system also contains - among many other classes - a GUI class system. We hope to release a first package sometime in Q1, 2002 - this will enable programs using OOP4A to use GUI in a truly object oriented way as well.
Martin Kuchinka, author of the PowerD programming language, agreed too to support the OOP4A-Project within PowerD.

New features in this weekend's release of OOP4A are argument types and method overloading. These are the last basic oop functions which had to be implemented, so that the next releases will concentrate on building new classes."

OOP4A stands for Object Oriented Programming for All and offers full oop support to nearly any programming language used on the Amiga. Project start was the around the 5.10.2001. German Pages see title link.
