While configuring the new server and writing my CES 2001 report, quite a backlog of CCF files for the Pronto/RC5000 file area managed to develop. Over the past two days I was finally able to catch up on all recent submissions, which included - in part - 20 brand new system CCF files! But as it's been quite a while since our last "file roundup", here's everything that's been uploaded during 2001 so far.

MX-1000 files too!
Owners of the Home Theater Master MX-1000 remote control will be pleased to hear that system MDL designs are now available from Abdul Jalib and Dan Schwartz, not to mention my own layout with 100% custom buttons. If you're looking to start a design from scratch, Abdul Jalib also uploaded a blank .MDL file which will help speed things up.

If you've finished or are close to finishing your MX-1000 design, you'll really want to run it through Jason Hoomani's great MDL Repair Utility, which will correct any invalid or "duplicate ID" buttons in your file. Finally, Jeff Cooper's invaluable Button Converter has been updated to version 1.4. Keep those files coming!
