- VECTRONIX NEWS WEEK #24
- Written by Phoenix/Vectronix
- vectronix@hotmail.com
-
- This is an attempt of spreading some news and information about what's
- going on in the atari scene 1997, and what we're up to in Vectronix,
- announcements of our latest releases and other stuff. There is no weekly
- publish dates or anything, when there's something to write about, and we
- got time, we will do it... ;-)
-
- If you know somebody who want to get this news letter in the future, please
- tell them to send an email to vectronix@hotmail.com with the subject
- "subscribe". If you want to be removed from the list, simply do the same
- but with subject "un-subscribe" instead.
-
- The Vectronix cracking team is proud to present a few new hot releases, in
- this awfully hot, disgusting and painkilling summer. We can also introduce
- new support boards and a new member.
-
- New US/Germany HQ's
- ===================
-
- In USA the Happy Hideaway BBS is still alive and kicking, I guess some of
- you remember it from the "good old days" if not else. New software, new
- look, same sysop (Harry) and now official VEX USHQ, check it out!
-
- Ryder, our new member who will work for us as musician and also do some
- trading is responsible for the US scene expecially, it's his job to support
- Happy Hideaway, and if possible also other boards with new software. The US
- scene had almost gone dead as I understand it, but we're doing our best to
- bring it back to life again.
-
- Other boards worth mentioning in USA is PayBax BBS runned by Norstar, I'm
- quite sure our releases will be available on both H.H and PayBax, otherwise
- we'll arrange this in some way. Then there's STampede (rings a bell, huh?)
- which is still alive, even though it's mostly PC nowadays, there should
- still be an old atari conference. Hopefully STampede can also be brought
- back to life one day.
-
- In Germany The Junction runned by Slapshot, which also is HQ for TSCC and
- Elite among others will be our GHQ. The Junction which really is an amiga
- board is one of Germanys most interesting boards of my knowledge. As I'm
- writing this I'm not sure how distribution in Germany will work, but one
- way or another you'll find our stuff here, that's for sure!
-
- More HQ's and distros are on the way, but we want to make sure we can
- support the boards first, watch out...
-
- Faramir/Ex-Elite
- ================
-
- As Elite never did a real official statement that Faramir left Elite I want
- to make some things clear, as I still see lot's of confusion about this
- subject.
-
- Vectronix is NOT dead for Atari! As long as there is still a reason to hang
- on to atari, which means, new stuff to crack every now and then, we'll be
- around and do our best to provide you with high quality cracks, as always.
-
- Faramirs attack upon us was due to his personal problems, obsession by
- satan, microsoft and aliens. He couldn't accept that I (Phoenix) was using
- a PC today and got all crazy. What started as a private argument some
- months earlier was then brought official when he was banned from #atari and
- started to release crap under Elite's name against us.
-
- Anyway, this thing with Faramir is now history, and we're sorry it ever
- happened. Our relations with Elite is, and have always been very good.
- We're only sorry that Faramir dragged them into the shit, and got lot's of
- people to think we was leaving atari.
-
- Worth mentioning is also that Doctor Byte left Elite (because of Faramir),
- and that Pervert joined again when Faramir left, he had previously left the
- group together with Stratagem because of Faramir. Elite is now in the
- leadership of Marcer, and it contains the whole polish cracking elite.
-
- Zarmi/Ex-Supremacy
- ==================
-
- He must be one of the most hated people on the atari scene, everybody knows
- who he is. His relations with Elite have not been the best, which I guess
- is one of the reasons he have made himself a name.
-
- I'm sorry to say that I hear rumours that he have been busted for selling
- CD's, I have not got any confirmations about this, and don't know much
- more. No matter what you think of someone, getting busted is nothing you
- wish your worst enemy. It's always sad when these things happens, and I'm
- very sorry if this is true.
-
- Take care out there people, selling CD's might be an easy way to earn some
- fast money, but don't make too big business out of it, you might be sorry
- for it one day, and I tell you, it's not worth it!
-
- Nordic Atari Show 97
- ====================
-
- Phoenix will attend the Nordic Atari Show (13-15 June) held in Gothenburg,
- Sweden on Saturday 14:th of June. Watch out for a weird dude running
- around, probably dressed black from top to bottom with black sunglasses.
- Make sure all your originals are properly locked up into a safetybox and
- keep calm.

- The english release of CAB 2.0 doesn't contain some german ST-Guide

- VECTRONIX NEWS WEEK #24 (Addendum)
- Written by Phoenix/Vectronix
- vectronix@hotmail.com
-
- Isn't it weird that something always comes up the next minute after you
- have released something? It happens me all the time, some people would
- probably explain this by the fact that I always gotta do everything in the
- very last minute, and always in a hurry, but I don't know... ;-)
-
- Today I had missed to read some new messages on my board, where I was
- delighted to find an announcement.
-
- Hang Loose is back, we've heard it before, a couple of times that Bandit
- was planning on re-open his board. We almost stopped believing it, but
- after much talk and little action, he have finally done just that.
-
- I talked to Bandit some weeks ago, then he was hoping to get cable-modem
- access in the area he lives real soon, if this was more than a sysops most
- wished dream to become reality is yet to see. But let's hope for the best!
-
- Also there's a new release not mentioned in the list in the previous letter,
- only a small update of ExtenDOS Pro, but it's our job to bring everything
- of quality to the public! ;-)
-
- VEXED24B.LZH ExtenDOS Pro v2.4b (c) Anodyne Software [1/1]
-
- Here is the announcement about Hang Loose, posted by Bandit on Heavens
- Trash early this morning....
