Christmas Version of Emperor Released
Emperor is an object-oriented programming language allowing even users without knowledge of C/C++ to become master of AmigaOS 3.5 and to programm for it by a programming help. Emperor provides variegated macro elements for menus, requesters, etc., which put aside dealing with complicated system structures.

Advantages of Emperor:
  • Direct visualising availabel for every macro element
  • C/C++- source code generating
  • Integrierated text editor
  • StormC connection
  • Extended guide (German / English)
  • FREEWARE

Innovations in Emperor version 3.5:
  • Display of scroll- und slider gadgets reworked
  • Finnish catalog support
  • Program environment for configuration of version, author, program name, stack, memory check, and much more added
  • GadgetHelp for own programs: easily connect a gadget to configure this feature
  • Function [delete menu-edit-list] added
  • GadgetHelp for almost any gadget (more than 600 online help files)
  • Editing of the include list possible
  • New startup picture added (thanks to Janne Peraäho)

The program is available as version 3.5 from the Aminet directory dev/c.

Matthias Gietzelt wishes the entire Amiga community a merry Christmas and a happy new millenium.

MainPrefs 2.0 Released
For those who want to change environment variables, easily change configuration files such as s:startup-sequence or start the OS preferences programs in a predictable way, now can do all of this with MainPrefs V2.0. New in the program is the possibility to change assigns, and an Italian catalog by Arturo Franzin.

The program requires OS3.5, cause it has a Reaction GUI. It shall be available from Aminet from the next update, but from now also on the homepage under the title link. The programmer Martin R. Elsner makes efforts to further enhance the program and is open for new suggestions.

ANN: Fleecy Discussing
Michael wrote: «Each one who is not perfectly aware of the intentions and attitudes of Amiga Inc. might be interested in the long discussion at ANN (see title link - ca. 350 kB).

Even if it might never happen and MorphOS assumedly would be the better choice, so it might be interesting with Fleecy Moss' statements there in mind for once to consider the "50,000-copies"-edge to be the promise of a solid 4.0 PPC under active headship by Amiga Inc. Contrary to the suspicion this might only be an unsocial lure to gain more income, cause I initially took it by this, too.

It's a pity that always only hard discussions and impeachment generate clarifying answers from Amiga Inc. or other companies. In this case regarding the 50,000 copies promise.»

Heise: Background details: Microsoft are Stricken
«Crippled due to the cartel case, tantalized by cracker's attacks, and trailed by the general downwards trend of the PC branch the software giant from Redmond now starts to paddle hectically. Because the signs are indicating storm: For the first time after ten years and for the second time in the company's history at all Microsoft had to call out a profit caution for the current quarter. PC sales in the otherwise so opulent Christmas business are stagnating worldwide, thus the best income source stops bubbling the way Bill Gates' crew was used to. After all, almost a third of volume of sales Microsoft draws from the fact that vendors sell PC's along with Windows or other products by Microsoft.»

VirusHelp Denmark: Virus Warning
Today we received a new 'lame' trojan. This trojan will only execute it self if you have named your hard-disk "DH0" & "DH1". The trojan is spread in and archive with the name "DKG-BLUM.LHA". If you run the "DKG-BLUM.exe", the trojan will replace your c:loadwb with another loadwb (size: 3560 bytes) and replace c:assign with another assign (size: 2408 bytes), and the screen will tell you that there is not enough memory, and you will have to restart, then it looks like the trojan will delete DH1:.
The trojan also adds or replaces 2 other files, "LIBS:asi.library" & "DEVS:ASI.device".

The cure right now (If you have lost your DH1: to bad......), then replace the trojan files with clean ones, here is the trojan sizes:

c:loadwb ( 3560 bytes) c:assign ( 2408 bytes) libs:asi.library (24548 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file) devs:asi.device ( 2408 bytes - delete if you dont have clean file)

Here is some info about the infected archive:

Virus Type.... : Trojan
Archive name.. : dkg-blum.lha
Archive size.. : 28.535 bytes (lha packet)

This archive has been send to all the antivirus programers.....

Thanx to Peter Gordon & Urban for the info and sending the archive to us........

MUI: NListtree V18.6 Beta 5
Carsten Scholling released beta version V18.6 Beta 5 of the MUI class 'NListtree'. This class displays data in a tree structure. For this time the update contains bugfixes and useful enhancements.
  • Bugfix: Multiselection bug fixed, which allowed entries to be dropped on thier children entries (crash!)
  • Bugfix: Position calculation rewritten. No more accidently deleted entries.
  • Bugfix: Drop-Typ "Sorted" never occured
  • Bugfix: Renaming the user field wasn't possible.
  • Bugfix: MUIV_NListtree_Insert_ListNode_ActiveFallback (see Autodocs).
  • Bugfix: Inserting open nodes into one closed leaded to wrong position calculation (reported by Luca 'Hexaae' Longone, thx)
  • New: Second find method implemented (user field). This searching function is rather meant as a backup to have different searching possibilities, if needed. (Hooks must not always be set again).
  • New: MUIA_NListtree_ShowTree implemented (tree on / off). Useful for different sorting orders for which a tree structure maybe isn't wanted.
  • New: Spanish localisation by Javier de las Rivas.
  • New: New Trigger-Attribute: MUIA_NListtree_SelectChange.

This version is available as Linux/x86 binary for glibc V2.1 or glibc V2.0 in form of complete source code or source code patch for the UAE V0.8.15 Source code. In the source code archive the file 'dirct_access.c' is missing, which should be downloaded separately in addition.

TechReview: Ten Passed Technologies
«Not every disappearing technology deserves that fate. Sometimes the "losers" have an elegance and simplicity the "winners" lack. Here are ten examples.»

In the article Amiga is mentioned as third along with the picture of an Amiga 1000. Nick Montfort talks about the Amiga's good multitasking - but now which is being implemented in MacOS X - and other good features we don't want to miss on our computers. It is also mentioned that an new Amiga is already under construction. New Ermentrud Demo Released ! Timo Kloss on ANF mailto:Timo@inutilis.de http://www.inutilis.de Inutilis Software has released an new demo version of the adventure game "Ermentrud" for CyberGfx. This demo is ready for download on their website. There are many innovations compared to the initial demo version due to the entire story control system working now, too.
  • Three locations (screens)
  • Two dialog partners (shoes)
  • Intro pictures

New InstallerNG
I have uploaded a new version of InstallerNG to the support page (and to Aminet). A stupid bug in the message system of the built-in BOOPSI GUI has been fixed, and new is the CALL-PLUGIN function which allows the user to implement own functions in InstallerNG by a typed API and to use it from a script. Example source code for this as well as for all of the other API modules are included.
