MP3: mp3Play V2.01
On 15 December 2001 Carl Svensson published version 2.01
of his minimalistic GUI "mp3Play" for the MP3-Player "MPEGA".
The GUI has been made with ARexx and the rexxreqtools.library.
It calls up "MPEGA" in such a way that the player needs only
25 per cent of the CPU time on a 50 Mhz 68060 CPU, according
to DashBoard.
Compared to version 2.0 a standard C= installer script and
the ID3 tag viewer has been added.

CDTV: "C= CDTV Information Center" 1 year old
On 15 December 2000, exactly a year ago, the website
"The Commodore CDTV Information Center" went online. This site
gives detailed information about the history, the possiblities,
new developments and the software of the CDTV.
Just in time for its anniversary, the site has been redesigned,
90 per cent of which has been finished.
The new site "Using a CDTV" can't be uploaded yet, as there're
still some things missing. 15 per cent of
the CDTV-User-Clubs site, which is also new, has been finished (Icons,
background) and 50 per cent of the upgrades section has been
completed. Therefore you can still find the previous sites in some places.
The CDTV-User-Clubs site contains CDXL files, installation
guides, trouble fixes and a monthly electronic magazine.

Netscape for AmigaDE in the works
Logain wrote:
While searching through the Mozilla site I came across two interesting pages.
The first one can be reached via the title link and is the page of the AmigaDE port of
Mozilla that is developed by James Russell. The project is in a very early state
and he is still looking for strong support.
The other one's here, the site about the new "revolutionary"
browser engine of Netscape that is said to have a platform independant architecture
and is the main part of Netscape 6.1. As possible platform for a port they
mention, next to several Unix systems, BeOS and OS2/Warp, the Amiga.

Individual Computers: New xsurfadsl.device and appp.device
A new archive with the PPPoE-drivers for our networking card X-Surf can
be found in the support-area of our website. The CPU-load has been
lowered, and some parts of the appp.device have been prepared for
further debugging. The performance is already a bit more stable on
some setups, so we can release this last version before Christmas
for a public test.
