The new owner of the code is David Dustin. Dave lives here in New Zealand not far from me and now has the code and is looking over it. The previous sale is now null and void as I did not receive any money from them in time. The contract I signed with them means nothing. If anything should surface that is using this other code then please inform me so I can put a stop to it. Dave will write a bit in here shortly to inform you whats going on. --- johnv@voyager.co.nz (Public PGP Key available on servers) PGP fingerprint 2A 41 F4 EC 7C D7 D3 DC 57 DE 64 9A 4E 9E D3 E8 Article 112099 of comp.sys.amiga.misc: Path: news.PEAK.ORG!engr.orst.edu!rutgers!news.iag.net!news.math.psu.edu!chi-news.cic.net!hookup!solaris.cc.vt.edu!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!munnari.OZ.AU!comp.vuw.ac.nz!asgard.actrix.gen.nz!tower!news From: vc@eclipsnz.manawatu.gen.nz Newsgroups: comp.sys.amiga.misc Subject: Virus_Checker change of Ownership Date: Sun, 31 Mar 1996 08:10:42 GMT Reply-To: vc@eclipsnz.manawatu.gen.nz Message-ID: <315e3d5d.6143867@192.100.53.17> X-Newsreader: Forte Agent .99d/32.182 Lines: 77 NNTP-Posting-Host: pctower.actrix.gen.nz This message is from the new owner Dave Dustin I have purchased the source-code and rights to further develop `Virus Checker' by John Veldthuis, and pending final settlement, hope to have a new version available within 4-6 weeks. Some background information about myself: I am a devoted Amiga developer, and have been since the A1000's first hit New Zealand's shores. I have owned pretty much all of the Commodore range, and still use many of the machines. I had been a registered developer with CBM since 1990, but have been programming long before that. I am proficient in Assembly, E, C/C++ and a number of "useless" languages. It will take me a while to familiarise myself with the code, and do conversions to my system, but from the initial examinations I foresee no real problems. In the mean time, I would like to ask you, the users, to please complete the following questions so that I may better understand what is wanted from the future `Virus Checker'. 1. Which interface method should I use? Pick one... [ ] GadTools [ ] ClassAct [ ] MUI [ ] BGUI [ ] Triton [ ] Other: __________________________ 2. What sort of support for crunched files? Pick as many as you want... [ ] Only uncrunched files [ ] XFD Library [ ] XPK Library [ ] Decrunch Library [ ] LhA/Lzx Archives [ ] Compressed Disk Images (DMS, PackDev etc...) [ ] Other: __________________________ 3. How should the program exist? Pick one... [ ] Single executable with virus code self-contained [ ] Main executable, with separate brain files [ ] Other: __________________________ 4. What features do you count as most important? Pick as many as you want... [ ] ARexx port and support [ ] AppIcon [ ] File Watching [ ] Full disk scans [ ] Automatic scanning of new disks [ ] Regular memory checks [ ] Localisation [ ] User creatable brain files Please list any extra features you want me to consider... 5. What sort of Shareware restriction would you prefer? Pick one... [ ] Locate virii, but do not kill [ ] Requester upon startup/exit [ ] Certain features disabled [ ] Limited trial period [ ] None. Rely on users honesty. :-) [ ] Other: __________________________ If you have any comments or suggestions, please feel free to let me know via e-mail at: vc@eclipsnz.manawatu.gen.nz Thank you... -- Dave Dustin Eclipse Software dave@eclipsnz.manawatu.gen.nz Design and Development "95% of computers are used by morons, and you need a MoronOS to keep them happy.
