Remote control GUI for FroggerNG
Carsten Siegner writes:
Motivated by boredom I tinkered a "remote control" for FroggerNG. This offers a data requester, play, pause, stop, multi data select and prevfile/nextfile (if several files are selected).

Furthermore it can easy used to control the volume of FroggerNG. There is a video CD option for replaying VCDs, but this function isn't integrated into FroggerNG yet. Only an error message appears. The numberblock isn't read in yet. Since this is only a test program don't expect something special.

Sharp announces new Zaurus models
Like Infosync (see title link) reports, Sharp announces two new Zaurus models. The SL 5600 (B500 in Japan) for the USA and Japan and the C700 for Japan only. There is nothing said about an availability in Germany. The model SL 5600 is a further developed SL5500. A comparisation of the technical dates is to obtain from linux devices. The SL5600 contains with the XScale 400 MHz a faster processor, a stronger accu and an updated software suite (e. g. newer Linux kernel, Opera6). Furthermore the SL 5600 has a lot more (64 MB instead of 16 MB) Flash memory than the SL 5500. This will be used now with the SL 5600 for installing additional programs and to save data. So programs and data won't be lost even the accu runs empty.

The original press announcement by Sharp about the SL 5600 is to get here. This even shows that the Jeode Java System by Insignia will be used and not the Java implementation of he Amiga partner TAO.

At Golem there is the article reworked Linux-PDA Sharp Zaurus introduced in the USA to read. (ps) (Translation: ub)

Flash: Swfplayer V1.2c (07-Nov-2002)
Alexandre Balaban published the version 1.2c of the independently running Shockwave Player 'Swfplayer' in the Aminet. The Player is based on libflash for Linux by Olivier Debon. In this version the PPC support (WarpOS) was added. In detail in relation to the previous version the following changed:
  • New: Loop-Play-Option.
  • New: PPC-version for WarpOS (WOS)
  • Changed: improved Makefiles
The Player supports Flash files up to version 4 and some Flash 5 features. It runs on 68040+ or PPC and needs AGA (thus also on graphic cards). Further information can be found in the Readme of the program as well as notes about well-known problems.
