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
documents and Application System Heidelbergs webpages etc, that's why the
filesize is alot smaller compared to the german.
Final Words
===========
That's it for this time, let's see what this developes into and hopefully
we'll be back shortly! Not that much is happening in the scene these days,
but sometimes there is a need to announce things, and to keep contact with
people. Please don't hesitate to contact us, vectronix@hotmail.com is the
address, and we try to answer all mails. Send us comments, complaints,
ideas or whatever, we'd love to hear from you!

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....
