<span class="field-content"><div class="body-row" id="body-row-80860"><div style="background:#F5F5F5;">December 16, 1999, Salinas, CA: In keeping with its commitment to remain
the leader in MP3 solutions for the Macintosh, Casady & Greene, Inc. has
released version 1.5.1 of its award-winning player/encoder SoundJam MP.
This 1.5.1 version of SoundJam MP refines a small number of issues which
appeared in SoundJam version 1.5, released last week. SoundJam 1.5.1 fixes
an incompatibility with some third-party software which could cause
problems, including the ability to display text in the on-line help. It
also fixes a problem with streaming from proxy servers and handles
low-memory situations more efficiently.
This version expands on SoundJam 1.5, which sets the standard for
full-featured MP3 player/encoders on the Mac platform. SoundJam provides

conversion of CD's and internet...</div></div></span>

Macintosh Application Development Essentials (MADE for short) is a tiny
package of C/C++ code which provides all the lowest-level needs for a
Macintosh application. It is used extensively at Sig Software for our own
programs, including Drop Drawers, Email Effects and NameCleaner.
Vesion 1.5.0 adds intelligent window zooming (to current monitor), toolbar
window support and allows developers to easily handle display depth and
resolution changes. It also adds pointer registration routines to help
catch some coding errors and many other minor improvements.
