New Virus Circulating
This infromation addresses all users who recently purchased The "Techno DataBase 00" CD. On that CD there are miscellaneous installscripts for different applications. Obviously with that a new and potential dangerous virus gets installed, too. After installation and rebooting the system it starts like hell. During loading the SetPatch command inside Startup-Sequence the system hangs all the time.

Affected files: datatypes.library - SetPatch - Installer

Presumably more other files on the system partition are affected. Unfortunatly I lacked time to check this out, so far. Trying to remove the virus with VT3.17 failed, cause VT could not find the virus. :-(

For those who are already affected the following advice:
Switch off your Amiga.
Hold down both mouse-buttons and switch on your Amiga to come to the startmenue.
Boot with no Startup-Sequence.
Edit your Startup-Sequence like follows:
;C:SetPatch QUIET

This causes SetPatch not to get executed during startup, whereby the system can be started in some degree, again. It is possible that that virus is not widely spread yet, due to the fact that the CD comes from the French part of Switzerland were it was burned, too.

Trogladite Software News
TS's website was worked over completely, again. The new layout is predictable and good-looking. By turning down expendable graphics the side is now loaded more quick. The news are arranged predictable on the main site rounding the general view perfectly. :-)

The software-section comes up with news on PCTask - an new patch fixing the palette problem is available. Download: pctaskpatch.lha.
Furthermore "Ned", a brand new texteditor utility enhancing the Workbench "ED", was released.

Heise [Newsticker]


Heise: Counterstatement on "c't repels 'Licence-Extortion'
The lawyer Freiherr von Gravenreuth lays claim on a counterstatement on the message of heise online released on 07/07/2000. With this he refers on that Heise releases with this article the following allegation:

"With comparable cases Gravenreuth succeeded to pocket long royalties, ...."

With his counterstatement von Gravenreuth stated that this allegation was incorrect, correct was that he would not have recieved any licence payments in conjunction with the Trademark "Explorer".

Heise on this:
«The liability to release a counterstatment exists regardless if its content is true or not. The editorial office does not mix the term "to pocket" with any allegation on were the payments remained, the more so as cashiers mostly do not recieve sums in person.²

I only can agree with Heise, because of course Freiherr von Gravenreuth did not collect the royalties in person but his manner to "make cash" consists of neat little fee-notes to the licensors whose cases he is pleading, and to the "royalty-violators" he warns or accuses.

The various forum articles at Heise are interesting.

Merlancia's AJE project
Regarding some questions to Merlancia about the AJE project (Amiga Java Engine) for Classic AmigaOS, Marion E. Wyatt has received the answer that programmers are still sought how participate in the project so that it can be realized. For more information, follow the titlelink.

Here the original text of the mail:
«I got an email from the guys at Merlancia in regards to some questions I had about their AJE project (Amiga Java Engine) for the classic AmigaOS. My questions dealt with whether or not a "full" JVM included an AWT or not, and whether or not the JVM would be PPC optimised.

The answer was yes to all my questions: JVM with AWT and PPC optimised if I didn't misunderstand. They do need developers, though. If anyone wants to see a full Java2 VM with AWT for our current Amigas contact Merlancia ASAP. Contact info is available at http://www.merlancia.com/aje/»

Contrary to the last news about StrICQ now there is a new version. This time at http://www.multimania.com/aubioane/stricqframes.html. It has not changed very much but a new version number and there will be someone that continues V1. The only thing missing are other catalog files for other languages than french.
