+--------+ |N | |November| +--------+ +------------------+ |F | _|Fixing cooperation|___________________ +------------------+ With Australian fixer CEREBUS leaving the scene, AVANTGARDE and F4CG enter an agreement, where AVANTGARDE aim to fix certain releases for their friends. The decision start rumours about a coopera- tion running fulltime, which is not the case. Both groups have ambitions to con- tinue their normal activities on the all other levels. +----------------------+ |FTP | _|FTPs in the spotlight.|_______________ +----------------------+ The most popular FTP in the world, being DIGITAL DUNGEON, was being criticized by the responsible runner of the system. TRS*SCS are thereby forced to open their ftp, earlier shorltly called "PITEL", to the new "UTOPIA". At the same time, PLAYBOY from F4CG launches a public message to people on the net, that the F4CG-FTP, INTERPARK might be taken down. INTERPARK, Italianbased ftp has been up and running as a test during the year, and according to the runners, the testperiod is over. Flooded with response from the public, INTERPARK is saved by the users of the 64. +-----------------------------+ |L R | _|Leader of Red sector arrested|________ +-----------------------------+ The former leader of the successful RED SECTOR, also working for the list of PROPAGANDA is again in the spotlight. This time however, it is not for act- ivities in the scene, but for being arrested for selling drugs. The police have reported finding 35 kilos of cannabis in PSYCHOBILLY'S apartment, while also SCAT, artist from RED SECTOR was arrested a few days later. The leader was sentenced to several years in jail, along with other people in the his web following. +-------------------+ |C | _|Count Zero returns.|__________________ +-------------------+ COUNT ZERO, who was working with ONSL- AUGHT earlier during the year was ann- ounced to return to the 64, and did so shortly in a Dutchbased label. Appearing under TRC*SCS, the cooperation gained another fixer and cracker matching the already existing talents.

People from TRC*SCS and HITMEN claim it will be back online in just a matter of time. +-----------------------------+ |S A | _|Sign of worries in Avantgarde|________ +-----------------------------+ Organizer of AVANTGARDE, DEFF, moves to Berlin to take up his new job. The topic raises suspicion whether AVANTGARDE will continue to be topping the charts, but during the first weeks, the group proves to be just as competitive as always. Heading for the last few days of the year, the group falls slightly in ac- tivity, but AVANTGARDE claim it just temporarly. JACK ALIEN still works at his ordinary pace, as well as one of the scene's favorite spreaders, IN- TRUDER. +-------------------------+ |T O | _|The Onsoap-affair is born|____________ +-------------------------+ PROPAGANDA launch their goldedition, being the 2Oth issue. The magazine con- tinues the debate with ONSLAUGHT, that was covered in VANDALISM SILVER just a few weeks earlier. What has been refered to as the ONSOAP-AFFAIR, con- tinues to be discussed throughout the scene. +--------------------------------+ |A | _|A tragedy to the software market|_____ +--------------------------------+ CP VERLAG, perhaps the only German softwarecompany worth to be lookin at announce that they will not be publish- ing any software for the 64 in the future. The announcement comes as a punch in the face for both crackers and programmers who have seen it as a reliable source the past few years. Whether there will be a German company to pick from where CP VERLAG left off, is yet uncertain.
