Loads of Pronto/RC5000 files!
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.

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!
