`30.Jan.2000` Future Visions by e-mail	Problem with diskcopy v44.5 Andi of Future Visions writes: The diskcopy included in OS3.5 (System drawer) is unable to correctly read and copy partitions over the 4GB barrier. If this is true for writing I have not yet tested, but I don't think it will work. If now there is an error on a partition over the 4GB barrier, like the root directory defective due to a crash during writing, and the partition cannot be accessed by the normal file system, a normal user is unable to rescue his data. Tools like Disksalv are unable to access these partitions, and there is no FFS64-compatible "diskcopy" program on Aminet to copy the defective partition to the lower 4GB and use Disksalv on it there. So I urgently recommend not to hold important data on such partitions, since a recovery will be impossible. OS3.5 support has been notified. (Translation: mb) [News message: 30.

`30.Jan.2000` Markus Lück in ANF	New StrICQ version 0.1712 (Version 0.1710): An Enforcer hit was removed that opened the chat window again, making chatting impossible. The userlist still has a bug, which the author knows about. The bug looks like this: If a user goes online in ICQ, it is not noted in the user list. Tip: Select all entries, you can then see who has gone online. The version available on the server is 0.1712 already. Download: STRICQ.lha (Translation: mb) [News message: 30.

`30.Jan.2000` Jo in ANF	Amiga in Macwelt 3/2000 In the "aktuell" area, the Amiga is mentioned in the Macwelt: "Amiga moving again - Amino new owner The Amiga trademark and accompaining technology has again changed owners. While, after the Commodore bancruptcy, first Escom and then Gateway held the rights, they were now sold to a company named Amino Development, according to a GNN report led by two former Amiga executives. Also according to GNN, Amiga users judge this as a chance for an Amiga comeback, possibly as Open Source." (Translation: mb) [News message: 30.

`30.Jan.2000` Olli in ANF	News from the APUS frontline The Sunsite server has already seen several new things this year! For one, there is a new Bootstrap released, and additionally an archive for the Bootstrap with autodetect for WarpOS/PowerUp. Download: ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/projects/apus/boothack. There is a brand-new, very good Installer for LinuxPPC5. Download: ftp://sunsite.auc.dk/prrojects/apus/install/redhat. On Olliweb (title link), at CDSUPPORT, there is an archive with Installer and ready-made scripts for updating older LinuxPPC5-CDs from olliweb, which should run with all other linuxPPC5 versions. At Linux.de there is a link to a PowerMac emulator for LinuxPPC5. In the manual it says that, with the right kernel patches (included), the PowerMac emulator should also run on Amigas with LinuxPPC5! Needed, among others: MacOS8.6 + romfile. (Translation: mb) [News message: 30. Jan. 2000, 08:00] [Comments: 0] [Send via e-mail] [Print version] [ASCII version]
`30.Jan.2000` Jorge Pino in ANF	Heise: PC Manufacturers: New Concepts Wanted "A basic rule of the technological society seems to win again: Innovative ideas and products recieve high acceptance and earn big profits. Holding tight to traditional concepts, on the other hand, leads directly to economical desaster. Not only the manufacturers of the C64, which was leading the way in it's time, had to learn this, when Commodore had to give up all hope for rescue in 1994. In the 90ies of the last millenium, when the Intel x86 based PC-architecture had made it's way for quite some time, users no longer wanted Commodore's products without hard drive - attempts to gain a foothold again with the Amiga came too late."

`28.Jan.2000` Sender known to editors	What's all the fuzz about pirate copies? This text shall and must be widely known. However, the author doesn't want to start petty wars with all hacker groups at once. For this reason the author asked to have the text published ANONYMOUS! As the author is known to us, we accept this exceptionally, if only for the reason that we want to help sensitizing all parties involved for this subject, and give food for thought. Copies have been sent to: AMIGA.de, Haage & Partner, Vapor, Holger Kruse, and Andreas Kleinert. «Maybe some people have wondered what the article of Andreas Kleinert was all about. There have been pirate copies all the time, so why so much fuzz about them? Because it's a matter of survival! Not every maker of software has the financial resources of a company with windows :-) Furthermore, in the recent couple of days, it wasn't about some small web site with 2 - 5 pirate copies. Last friday Andreas was informed about an FTP server whose directory structure contains round about 1500 lines, each line representing one pirate copy. Whenever he puts an update into AmiNet, it takes only 2 days for the cracked version to emerge. In addition there are cracking programs for personal use, and key generators. If I just estimate 10 copies with a value of 10 Marks for each entry of this server, we would be at 150,000.- DM. But the damage caused may be estimated much higher. And this is no computer for Win95/98, with a little Amiga on the side. This is AMIGA with a little MAC on the side! What do you need that isn't available for free in AmiNet? What more is needed than FULLY USABLE trial versions? All in vain? It does look that way. But in vain is not bargain priced or free. In vain are the efforts of a maker who doesn't make a turnover anymore. Pirate copies of OS 3.5 (who copies CD ROMs via modem)??? There are various roads to the future: the cheap one, that one C= has shown us already, haven't they? The unified, new windows every two years? Or one that stays affordable, and where together you can feel as a community. Where you show STRENGTH in doing without some things, and buying the product with support. I won't denounce anyone because he uses a pirated copy from time to time. Everyone has to make that out with himself. And I won't reproach a HACKER who overcomes a complicated security system. But taking away the small earnings for in part excellent programs from every little shareware author, and intimidating the last companies that have enabled us to hold out until today, that's unfair and has nothing to do with a sporting hack. That's just ciminal! And who thinks there aren't any clever heads on the side of those concerned may anticipate getting a fitting answer some day. In the appendix [may be ordered if needed] of this mail I publish the contents of the FTP server. The people who run it should know that we already know now who they are and not only since today. They had their fun and should quit, because too much fun often isn't good for you. Just a quick word to the aggrieved companies and programmers: Don't take this as a reason for negative thinking and mourning of losses, but as a sign that the support of the usership still lives and will keep on living. Because the users need you as makers like you need them as customers. If concerned software makers answer in need of data, they will get them. Furthermore it would surely be helpful to place the text on Anti Piracy after translation and leave it there.» Translation by Christian Busse. (Translation: mb) [News message: 28.
