Bud's Biased Utils Report #24
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I almost got lazy and idled this week... still listening to the new Tea Party
disc... but wtf, might as well do make use of my time. That and I don't
feel like doing any serious work. So here we go, with another lively week
in utils having passed. We have all the usual schlock, plus a little bit
of extra meat regarding VGC.
Disclaimer: It's BIASED moron. My opinion. So don't send me a bunch of mail
& messages bitching about this or that. If you don't like
it... SCREW YOU =]
Rankings: Groups get a score out of 10. Points are given for amount of
releases, but QUALITY titles will give a group a much higher score.
Nukes for duping, broken releases and just plain CRAP will lower
a groups score. However on the occasion that a title is nuked which
I don't feel should have been, MY OWN JUDGEMENT TAKES PRECEDENCE.
Cuz I'm writing this. Groups can also get points for any other
reason I see fit.
Week: Week is based from 06/08/99 to 06/14/99. I'm in the EST time zone so
dates/times run according to it.
Groups: (In no particular order)

PIRATES WITH ATTITUDE:
Releases:
PcANYWHERE_v9.0_REALLY_TRULY_FINAL-PWA
Intergraph.SmartSketch.3-PWA
ASP.User.v1.0-PWA
ASP.Image.v1.84.Enterprise-PWA

Organic_Art_Deluxe-PWA
Macromedia.Shockwave.Multiuser.Server.10000users-PWA
Cyberlink.VCD.PowerPlayer.3.49-PWA
PWA really, truly lost the race on the REAL pcANYWHERE 9 final
to DOD, leaving them with SmartSketch 3, one of the better Intergraph
titles released of late, and a bunch of titles released later in the
week. A hard loss on the Symantec title however, considering the history
of releases that one app has created. Organic Art is well... I won't
say it. Platinum SQL Compass is a much better title, and the 10,000
user of Shockwave Server is a welcome edition... the earlier PNC
release's license only allowed up to 50 users.

Atomic.Software.Authorizer.v2.0-CORP
Dr.Solomons.Antivirus.Toolkit.v7.95.Win9X.WinNT-CORP

Strata.Systems.Punch.List.v2.0.Win9X.and.Palm.OS-CORP
Gah what a mess... most sites were up in the air as to whether or not
to keep Corp's recent MS releases. I'll stick to the affirmative only
because I know there are plenty of people out there who will eagerly
download anything made by MS. In related news, my frivilous lawsuit
against M$ will soon be heading to court, I'm claiming mental anguish
induced by poorly coded, buggy software.
Aside from the MS rel, Corp put out a few utils worth mentioning:
Norton AV Corporate 6 - A quick rip of the ISO... I haven't heard
a whole lot about the new version of the
client/server protection app out of the
symantec camp.
ARCserve IT 6.61 - Corp was quick on ripping this ISO, as with the
AV release. Some questions as to the quality of
the rip, a WORKING-IND copy was later released
but quickly nuked.
Page Charmer Pro is alright, as is JSentry Proxy Server... a decent
mix of CD rips and net apps, but with a few of those CD rips coming
from ISO releases, you have to wonder why the Corp store team wasn't
more active, as plenty of titles are out there.

CULT.EFFECTS.VOL1.FOR.ADOBE.AFTER.EFFECTS-SiEGE
NIMICHEN.MIRAI.FINAL.V1.0-SiEGE
Not exactly the busiest week SGE has ever had. There best release
was Nichimen (not Nimichen) Graphic's Mirai 1.0 final, a professional
real-time computer graphics/animation suite. Unfortunately it was just
a "tad" large at 62 x 2.88MB, and is probably best left as an ISO - so
grab the TFL release if you want this one. Aside from that, some art textures
stuff, yawn.

X-FORCE:
Releases:
ULTIMATE_TOOLBOX_FOR_MFC_1ST_EDITION_JUNE_1999-XFORCE
NUANCE_V6.2_FINAL-XFORCE
XF followed up their excellent release of JBuilder Pro 3 from last
week with... Ultimate Toolbox for MFC. Yay. (Sorry if I'm offending
any actual users of the program, but seeing it go out twice monthly
gets annoying after a while - and I need something to poke fun at,
damnit!). They also released Nuance 6.2 at 58 x 2.88MB ... not as
bad as Mirai, although Mirai is the better app in my eyes.

IBM.ViaVoice.Online.Companion.v5.2.for.VV98.Executive-SHOCK
PrintMaster.Platinum.v8.0-SHOCK
Punch.Super.Home.Suite.V3.0-SHOCK
Continuing with some decent store titles this week, they
take the desktop publishing app PrintMaster 8, which is
aimed at the lower price tier of the market, and is basically a
cheaper alternative to say, MS Publisher and similar tools. We also
see Autodesk's Planix Landscape Deluxe, which is not up to par with
some of Autodesk's other tools - Sierra's landscaping titles are a better
bet if you're looking for this type of app. Still, good enough. When paired
with IBM's Online Companion for ViaVoice, which allows ViaVoice98 users
work directly in internet chat clients, web browsers, and other online
connectivity applications (Yes, it supports AOL!), you get a solid week.
SHK took a page out of the PFT manual and released about 400 megs worth of
apps in one night.

Just one app from LND over the past week, but a killer from the CAM
field, PathTrace's EdgeCAM, complete with the Mechanical Desktop

out a working version of Persuader, which something called Creative

PRM did something. Not much else to say. It seems that
if they don't already have a working serial for it in their
portfolio, they aren't able to release it - not a good sign.

Yet another really real final of pcANYWHERE 9, this one really is
final, really. Honestly. Blah... Becre8tiv did a really excellent
job of explaining all the different pcANYWHERE 9 releases over
on BA's message board at TCA, so I suggest you check that out if
you want to know whats up. As for this, assuming it IS the final
(and this time it seems so), I'll carry over DOD's points from
last week - meaning they don't gain any new points, since their
last release was mislabeled - but they still deserve credit.

Busy, busy, busy... I haven't seen RBS this active in a LONG time,
and while there's a real lack of mainstream apps from Rebels these days,
titles from Arcplan never hurt, and getting out a good copy of OnTime Enterprise
is an added bonus. We also see plenty of cracking skill from the RBS team...
store side definately needs to beef up though.

Polar_Draw_ActiveX_Control_v1.00-FCN
SeaScape_v1.0_Beta3_For_3DSMAX-FCN
Beyond Press 4.01 turned out to be identical to PWA's 4.0 release from a while
back, either because PWA mislabled their release (this coming from a group
who usually has no qualms about releasing App v2.20.19.227.18), Extensis
fucked up, or Delphic is a gimp. Since I know I'll be hearing about that
last quip, I'll end off by saying on top of the Extensis mishap, FCN
had a good week with some nice components, and a beta plugin for 3DSMAX.
About the Ensemble Rose titles. A few sites nuked them, as minor builds.
FCN wasn't too happy, and rightfully so - the program has never been released
before, so it's not to be considered a minor update, since it's the first
version users can get (well, unless they pay for it of course). Secondly,
v3.2.990528 - 990528 is the date of the build, and not some really lame
version number - it reads to 05/28/99 for any gimps who missed that.
Same shit, different date for the other Rose titles.

VENGEANCE:
Releases:
Reel.Time.v.2.5.NT-VGC
Reel trouble from the VGC camp. With the split of DMS, and MrPumpkin
taking part of that group to form Vice, it was a safe bet he was no longer
welcome in VGC, and soon found himself booted from the group. With Evel
also heading to the Vice faction, it seems that the well of titles
originating from MFD members has dried up, and Evel and Baseclaw are
both gone from VGC, as is leftist. All these moves help to explain
the lack of activity from VGC this week... all this on top of TK4's
earlier departure... could the group that looked like the dream team
be in danger of blowing it all?

Assuming Lester and NDTrout get off their respective asses (or out of each others),
you may actually be reading this on time. I think we at least came close last week.
Corp sort of won this week by default... I would have given Shock higher except
for a missing RAR that had to be released seperately in Planix Landscape...
LND put out a great title but that was it, kudos to Hirop/Denada for that however.
Rebels also had a decent week but lacked any major apps. PWA would have had a shot
if not for loosing on pcANYWHERE.
In the past week, we said goodbye to the group Demon. I thought I'd make note of
their passing, as Demon was probably one of the most under-rated groups in the
scene. In their two year history they put out some decent apps, existed pretty
much without contreversy - quite a feat - and went out without a fuss. Check
out http://www.dmn.org for a farewell note, and best of luck to these guys.
That's all for now... see ya!
