- WWN Issue #5 -
August 29th, 1995

---=[ Introduction ]=----------------------------------------------------------

Welcome to The Week in Warez Newsletter issue #5. This issue has
been a major pain in the ass, but I made it. For many reasons I
had to make the issue, primarily because Cypress seems to have gone
to sleep and just given me the OK, and Mercury- cut his head on
something (not a rumor, from HIS message to me) and had to go to a
hospital to get stitches.

Well, I hope this issue turns out decent.It has some great parts
in it, like Bishop's 2 week warez report and BiSH0P of HTC's
interview with the VND Vice Prez. Hope you enjoy my work. It _DID_
take a long time. So, wish Merc a fast recovery, and read the
issue!

- Lurch [Truly TEMP. Editor]

We want you to write in with articles and comments!! If
it hasn't been clear yet, we accept any articles from

heard is your laziness. WRITE IN!

Thanks to LoTuG there is a WWN home page. Check it out,

Windows 95 releases marathon just started. What we saw? Shitload
of store stuff for windows 95, shitload of fakes/dupes and lame
releases from lame groups who just tried to reach elite level and
get a piece of cake too! mostly all best util groups shown their
activity on this week. We saw few Windows 95 releases and few final
Plus! packs..of coz 90% of them were not working or old. Couriers
tried to beat each other on big boards and that was a big
stimulation coz all long-awaited stuff is released now! Now i will
tell you more detailed report about best groups:

DOD (Drink Or Die) - totally rocking the scene this week! no
need to tell all DOD releases happened-you saw all of them flying
on boards and internet. Just wanna mention major titles like:
Backup Exec 7.01 Enterprise, Visio 4.0 for Windows (leader among
flow chart proggies), long awaited Sidekick 95 (c) Starfish, Mosaic
in a Box, HotMetal Pro and many Microsoft titles like: MS Bob 1.05a
for Win95, MS Excel/Word 7.0, Autoroute Express 4.0, finally
Windows 95 OEM floppy - the version that installes! Releases from
DOD came to scene everyday so this week was one of the best in
their career ever! Especially that week finished for them with
awesome and biggest thing ever released on scene - Corel Draw 6.0
and very expensive and cool multimedia presentation - Astound 2.02!
Hope all software firms will be not too pissed to DOD coz of such
releases assault. Totally Drink or Die present on boards more than
450 megs of releases on past week! hope this meggage will let you
think a bit. good luck to scene kings and me. :)

Week Score - 10/10
Total Score - 27/30 (for 3 last weeks)

PWA (Pirates with attitude) - pretty good week for this dudes
too! As we know this SCUM merge happened and SCUM dudes already
started releasing for new label They presented Windows 95 5.25
Shrink-wrapped copy. As all dudes before - PWA followed the
tradition and made bugs in packaging, but DOD fixed their fault and
released fix on 4 disks soon - so, creds for this release are full!
We all heard this shit on CNN about PWA, but dudes are not scared
and released Microsoft Access newer candidate. Prolly coz their
Swedish supplier is far away from USA feds :). During the week they
also released IBM Antivirus 2.3 for OS/2 that is a cool release
itself, Netvis 2.0a (cool network flowchart), new Phoenix BIOS
upgrade, SMART for OS/2 warp (had no time to look on it yet), huge
Print Ensemble ][ on 18 disks, High C/C++ thing, Official Air
Guide, Microsoft Imager and finally Softram 95 (who the hell will
use it? but anyways it is commercial). On the whole - week was very
stable and active for them! Good points go to scene dinosaurus!

Week Score - 9/10
Total Score - 20/30

PINNACLE (PNC) - this new posse was not that active as they
could be, but anyway appeared with few titles like Real World POS
for DOS (what the hell is that? anybody knows? :), Multimedia
CD-player on 1 disk and cool Microsoft titles - Works 4.0 Final
Sales. That's not the best result that they could show but we saw
activity and all releases were ok, no fuckups and regularly! still
good points.

Week Score - 6/10
Total Score - 23/30

NTA (Nokturnal Trading Alliance) - Old 'traders' worked in same
stream as weeks before. We saw releases - but that's not the job
that they can really show! Just a shitload of Hard Disk utilities
that gave many free credits to couriers. Work better, Mikey! or
supply releases to DOD :)

Week Score - 4/10
Total Score - 10/30

X-FORCE - that's the first week for this Europeans when i write
special note about them! Hope they will last for long here.. we all
want more quality releases and not just a stupid bullshitters! Why
i added this young team to report? coz of one cool release on last
week - Lotus NotesSuite 1.1 for OS/2 on 34 disk! Way to go dudes..
just stop releasing stupid IBM freeware shit and come back to real
action! We all like your trading abilities - time to show your
releasing force again!

Week Score - 4/10
Total Score - 4/30

That's all about special notes.. just wanna say few more words..
was impressed with PANTERA work on this week.. if they will keep
releases going - very soon i will write special note about them
too! Also i am going to tell about all stupid dupes. Main dupers on
this week of coz are VENDETTA and PROPHECY! I will not name all
VENDETTA dupes.. they are like 50-60% of all their releases and
main dupe of coz is LAME 40 disks Windows 95 CD Upgrade. Who the
hell will need it after fully working 17-20 disks ones? :) Prophecy
did 2 dupes too: first of all Softram 95 - day after PWA and next
one is HUGE Corel Draw 6.0 dupe of DOD! Dudes.. only one thing that
i can advise you - call big boards more often and check stuff. Now
you look very lame. Thats all folks! If you have any complains or
questions - email me on [email protected] See you in next WWN
issue.

Week in Warez #5! Here we are with another warez report. I'm
sorry i missed last week's warez report. I'm a busy man these days.
To make it up, I have included this week and last week's releases!!
Anyhow, this week we find a SHITLOAD of new Windows 95 apps!
Expect the following weeks to look similar to this week! Although
the major Windows 95 Apps have been released, we should still see
lots more Win95 products. DOD had a hell of a week this week. They
released a lot of MAJOR Windows 95 products, such as MS Excel for
Win95, MS Word for Win95, MS Access for Win95, MS Bob for Win95,
Visio 4.0 for Win95, etc.. Although PWA already released the Full
version of MS Office for Win95, it is still good to have each
program in StandAlone form! This past week we see a couple more
Win95 releases. We find a DOD disk release of Win95 in Microsoft's
new 1.7 meg disk format. Later we see PWA's Win95 disk shrink
version to fit on 1.44 and 1.2 disk formats. Although the release
was missing some major parts, DOD released a fix that will fix its
problems.

Welps, I feel sorry for OS/2 users. The whole market shifted to
Windows 95 .. and Bill Gates just got billions of dollars richer
overnight <g> .. Well, that's it for this weeks WAREZ REPORT!

\____|____/____|_____/_____/|____|___________/__________/_______/__________/

This is an article for a new column on a non glamorous but
popular form of ware: old shit. Oldwarez are generally anything
older than 6 months, but some really elite motherfuckers (heheh)
consider it anything older than 0-1 dayz. Some people won't even
look at shit that's older than a week, but I think you should
consider mellowing out your attitude on it. There's a lot of fun
games and useful shit out there older than a week. I could name a
few classics, like Stunts and The Simpsons, but I'm sure you have
plenty of old warez in your collection, even if you won't admit it.
Man cannot survive on 0-3dayz alone, at least some people can't.
Some of us too have old second computers (I have a 386sx-25 for a
second computer) and it won't run the newest shit very well. So
hey, if U can't have a balanced attitude toward warez, and think
anyone that trades or runs stuff older than a few days is a lamer,
well............ skip to the next part of this newsletter. :-)
Otherwise, pat yourself on the back for being tolerant and be glad
that you can enjoy both the newest shit, and some of the older
classics. Trade the 0-1 day stuff, but keep and use the older,
tested and working shit.

So where the fuck can you find old warez? Well, it's easy to
find. On Usenet, alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.old is carried by some
servers. If yours doesn't carry it, you can probably find a public
server that does, or you could hack onto AOL and get it from there
(actually, as much as AOL sucks, it's the best place to leech stuff
off of Usenet, because they keep their articles a long, long time).
A lot of old warez is also posted to alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.
Another place to get old shit is on IRC. Check out #oldwarez for
the best in old shit. There are some FTP sitez that have old shit
too, but you'll have to find those yourself. If you're totally
unsuccessful at finding old warez (heh), then just hold on to your
0-3 day stuff for about 6 months, and you'll have some. <hehehehe>.

OK, well this newsletter is called "Week in Warez" so I guess I
have to say something about old warez trading for this week.
alt.binaries.warez.ibm-pc.old has been pretty fucking dead. I
tried posting a few programs (TASM v1.01, Autoduel, and a few
others) to try to get people to post, but so far it remains dead.
Oh well. I have so much old shit sitting around that my shelf is
about to break. If U want some, try #oldwarez on IRC. I may not
be offering tho, since my main server right now is on a TIA
connection and DCC send doesn't work right (I'm going to have to
change servers pretty soon, this sucks.) I hear so many people
requesting shit that I have, it's not even funny. Right now I'm
posting The Simpsons arcade game to a.b.w.i-p crossposted to
a.b.w.i-p.o. Get it while it's hot (oops, I guess that was a few
years ago, heeheheh). #oldwarez has been live as hell on IRC, but
the usual op wars are still happening, and some of the ops like to
kick everyone off the channel and declare their godhood. Well fuck
them, there's always #oldwarez2 I suppose. Usually the wars don't
last too long, so if you're genuinely interested in trading old
warez, pleaz come to #oldwarez. Otherwise, if you're just a
leecher and never offer, don't clutter the fucking channel. Some
people tolerate slow DCC's (I do, since I'm on a 14.4k connect
myself) and some people don't. If you offer, be sure to specify if
your DCC will be slow so people don't waste their time. Also, when
you leech, make sure the person offering tolerates slow DCC's if
yours is slow, otherwise, you might find yourself cut off about 2.9
megs into a 3 meg file (ouch, FUCK).

Here's a small partial list of some of the shit I have. If
you're interested in trading, well, you'll see me around. I'm the
guy with the corny sounding handle (hehehe.. no one on IRC has
stolen it yet). Well, until next time... later.

Oops.. one other thing. If you have any suggestions for what I
could add to this column, please contact me via the main contacts
in this newsletter (I don't have a working anon address right now,
as I lost my password, and most anon servers really irritate the
shit out of me for some reason). So contact them, and they will
(hopefully) contact me. I don't want to give out my regular Email
address to the entire world, hope U understand.

Why are CD-RIP programs released over and over again? Sometimes
they are packaged poorly, sometimes they are missing files,
sometimes they are too big and sometimes they don't work properly.
What's so difficult? What are these mistakes repeated? All you
have to do is ARJ *.* -v 1440 to compress the CD into 1.44 megabyte
volumes. Then you simply add your NFO files and FILE_ID.DIZ then
zip each volume using PKZIP. That may seem fool-proof, but there
are a lot more complexities behind this. For example, the
Mechwarrior 2 CD release by OTFW required 2 install fixes and 2
hacked EXE files to get it working properly. The TDU release
worked perfectly fine. Where's the gap? TDU made a loader and
properly packaged the game, while OTFW was missing a crucial hidden
file and included a CD emulator that simply did not work with the
game. Making loaders and fully testing the CD releases is a great
idea. You just can't lose when your release is ready to use after
unzipping. Some attempts at installation programs or batch files
worked, but unless the job is done properly, you will end up with a
mess of files on your hand. If PKZIP was as flexible as ARJ and
could create multiple volumes in the same manner, that would
eliminate the need for archives insides archives. Some ZIP chunker
programs have come close, but ARJ remains as the standard for
ripping CD's. Learn from past mistakes. Make sure you do not miss
any files when creating your ARJ files. Create a simple batch or
script that installs the program and/or runs it. Make sure the CD
emulators work properly with the program all the way through.
Don't release a CD rip (or full) too big. It is very bothersome to
deal with large releases. If you plan on releasing something big,
do it in parts. For example, release an animation pack or
Sound/Speech patch separate from the main CD rip. This way, users
with limited space can still use the programs. You must keep in
mind that the installation process takes up a lot more space than
the final product. The ZIP files, the ARJ files and the
installation files must all be there. In the end, fully testing
and double checking everything pays off. No more re-releases due
to poor packaging, and no more faulty releases. Do your homework,
test the files, and keep the end user in mind.

Vendetta... The Scene's most forgotten group.

Written by BiSh0P

Interview Krypton [VND Vice-Prezident]

---+ Beginning of the Interview +-------------------------------------------

<BiSh0P-> To start the interview, tell me about VND at the beginning.

<Krypton> We started out with Tsunami calling me up, mad with the way
that FSW was going, so we decided to start a new an improved
group.... with a couple of the cool localers (Lone Dragon
and Brutus).

<BiSh0P-> Was FSW separated in 2 groups, Vendetta and Rape ?

<Krypton> Rape was a part of FSW but died young due to a lack of
organization. Vendetta was more prepare so we are still in
action :).

<BiSh0P-> Was Tsunami the only leader with experience or the other has
well ?

<Krypton> No, Tsunami was the one with the MOST experience. Brutus and I
were already involved in a local group that merged into the
former FSW (sounds like FORMER USSR <G>) and then VenDetta.

<BiSh0P-> So VND like the former FSW (Fucking Sweet Warez) And most
members are coming from it ?

<Krypton> Some members are coming from it. FSW had a bunch of lamers
towards the end, and it just wasn't gonna work. Too many Enemies
and it was crumbling. VND is the refreshed FSW. More organized,
and we've been more selective.

<BiSh0P-> I notice that you guys release a lot (ie 3-4/week) but why is VND
having a bad rep among the scene ?

<Krypton> You know I'm not sure. VND has released some damn good releases.
We usually test our releases, I understand we need to work on
that aspect <G>, but VND has been doing MUCH better than many
other groups (No need to mention them). I think it might be that
guilt that people had against FSW, but I'm not sure. I'm proud
of the success that VND has had, and I trust that we will grow.
We have made mistakes, I admit, and we are working to correct
our ways.

<BiSh0P-> Is Vendetta a games or an applications releasing groups ?

<Krypton> VenDetta is both a game and application release group. Why must
we concentrate on just one? I don't believe a group must
concentrate on just one aspect and dominate it. If we do a good
job doing both, then we'll get famous for both, right?

<BiSh0P-> Talking about your release now.. I have seen many release by VND
in the past weeks. And i personnaly used some like the ASM
Tutorial and other games you release..

<Krypton> Yes. We are in the progress of doing a big release too. I say in
the progress of because it is so huge that we didn't want to
release it in one day. It's called Pool Champion, very nice game,
our vendetta.exe installation program especially helped for this.
Anyways in the process of ripping the game, we figured that if we
could release two scenarios WITH the game and then the last three
apart from the game, we could save people disk space and still let
them enjoy the entire game, so if with one scenario, you can just
download another one, delete the old one, and continue along. I
recognize the good work of our coders/rippers on this release.

<BiSh0P-> So i notice that some ppl are playing with Vendetta like takeover
vnd's channel and etc. Do you think that tell us more about the
way ppl think about vnd or was that from the old fsw heritage ?!

<Krypton> Well check our kisses/disses section in our NFO/EXE. But
ultimately I think it was an immature act on the part of the
people involved. I think both they know that and the rest of the
scene knows it.

Apparently some people weren't willing to let go of that. The
ones that messed with #vendetta also messed with #fsw. It's all
the same. Doesn't matter, though.

<BiSh0P-> Anyways now that you are in WWN 5 what do you think of the mag
and the support of the scene to the other groups in general ?

<Krypton> It's nice to see someone reporting on the happenings in the scene.
I like reading e-mags about ANSI groups, and it's good to see
them imported into the warez scene. It shows people care.

<BiSh0P-> So thanx you for giving me this short period of time and i'll see
you around later !

---+ End of Interview +-----------------------------------------------------

To end the article I would like to say that Vendetta is a constant releaser
group among us, traders, and they are really giving the scene something
back. They may have a bad rep but where is that bad rep come from ? Dupe,
re-release ? Which group didn't made dupe/fake some other days ?

---=[ 6. Closing ]=------------------------------------------------------------

Hope you enjoyed this issue and there were no fuckups. Next
Issue will hopefully not be done by me (this was MORE then I wanted
to do, and it took a shitload of time to spell check :) ). So, once
again get well Merc, and a greet goes out to all WWN and IRC.
