[1] SOME WORDS SINCE LAST TIME by Phoenix/Vectronix
____________________________________________________________________________
The mailout of VexNews #20 was, to say atleast, a total disaster as you
maybe noticed! Well, I guess that's what happens when you're "inactive" for
4 months and then all of a sudden try to do big wonders over one night. Oh
well, shit happens! Let's forget about that and look forward instead.
We're back with some small announcement of new (and old, but new, uhh?)
releases only, and that's just about it for this time I'm afraid. We will be
back soon I hope... ;)

[2] NEW VECTRONIX RELEASES by Lon$dale/Vectronix
____________________________________________________________________________
PRODUCT : ARTWORX V1.61 GERMAN (C) A.S.H.
CRACKER : PHOENIX/VECTRONIX
PACKAGER: PHOENIX/VECTRONIX
RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
The name suggests it already a little: ASH ArtWorx is a outstanding
Illustrator. It is - as ASH Texel - a program, which corresponds to the
current state of the art and must shrink from no comparison to programs on
other platforms. Therefore one finds support of Drag&Drop, Iconify or also
the OLGA log as ID4-Client and ID4-Server. That means it that for example a
table can be inserted by Texel into a ArtWorx document and then all
modifications, which are made with Texel at the table are updated also in
the ArtWorx document. Likewise you can merge display formats in ArtWorx,
which cannot at all load ArtWorx, if you have another program, which is a
ID4-Server and which can load picture.
But now to capability characteristics. ASH ArtWorx runs on ST/E, TT, Falcon
and naturally optimally under MagiC, MagiC PC and MagiCMac. ASH ArtWorx
supports all dissolutions and diagram cards.
PRODUCT : ROADWAR 2000 + ROADWAR EUROPA (C) SSI
SUPPLIER: SKINHEAD/I.C.S
PACKAGER: LON$DALE/VECTRONIX
RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
Firstly please do note that both these games are ancient, first release was
somewhat like 1986, ST version maybe a bit later... So the reason for this
release is that there's just no 100% crack of these games around, and
Metallinos wanted to get that stuff out to the public...although, in the DOC
files it says that it's done exclusively for the Pirate Gold CD-R Vol. 2,
but as I still only have about 190 megs of stuff together for that CD it'll
still take a while until it's released -BUT it will be one day! Both Doc's
are in wide format, so if you use a normal ST they'll be too big to read em
on screen. About my savegames... well only people who take everything too
serious will feel un- comfortable...never heard of Super Soaker before?
I have tested these games only on standard ST hardware, so see for yourself
if they work on Falcon or Emulators. I hope you got it that both titles are
still password-protected - so you'll need the docs (alternatively you can
also delete this archive).
PRODUCT : MEGA MINES (C) 999 SOFTWARE
SUPPLIER: ANONYMOUS
PACKAGER: L0N$DALE/VECTRONIX
RELEASED: SEPTEMBER 30, 1998
So this crappy little game says it's copyright 1996, but it seems nobody
else ever dared to release this crap, and as Metallinos couldn't break away
from "other important stuff" I finally decided to release it. BTW: It was
unprotected!

[3] FUTURE FTP DNS UPDATES by Phoenix/Vectronix
____________________________________________________________________________
As the FTP address is about to change soon again I just want to tell you how
you will be able to access the site as smoothly as possible. Just in case if
the DNS update will take some time, as it did last time.
If there is no response from the normal FTP address this probably means it
has been moved. Then please try the address below instead! This one will
update within a few seconds, while the real DNS update may take up to a week
if we're unlucky. This address is not permanent though, only use it if there
is no response (password error) from the primary one!
Primary: ftp://xxxxxxxxx.xx.xxx
Secondary: ftp://xxxxxxxxx.xxx.xx.xxx
We are very sorry that the capacity of the FTP is quite low at the moment,
and also that it can be quite difficult to log in! After the announcement in
VexNews #20 alot of people realized the ftp was back after a long downtime,
so this is the chaothic result of the downtime we're experiencing right now,
but it will get better! Fear not...

[4] DISTURBANCE by The Legendary Pink Dots
____________________________________________________________________________
We ride on the avalanche; we climb the melting red rungs of the ladder that
leads high to a darkening moon. We're the watchers of disaster, we're the
dancers on your tomb. We're the invisible invaders of your privacy... your
dreams. We're the spectres on your screen. We murmur sweet transparent
lunacy on hot oppressive nights - you shine a light and you will see just a
shadow.
