Short
------
Frogger is the ultimate MPEG video player, with MPEG-2 layer support.
Frogger was oryginally relased by Miloslaw Smyk (thorgal@wfmh.org.pl),
recently, the development has been taken over by Sebasian Jedruszkiewicz
(bjsebo@jota.wi.tuniv.szczecin.pl) Additional programming was made
by Przemyslaw Gruchala.

Changes in this release
------------------------
 - Sometimes white stripes were visible on decoded image.
   Fixed. The fixed routine is now also a bit faster. (0.02%;)
 - Fixed several other bugs. stability has been improved.
 - Fixen pen allocation handling. Pens were not released.
 - New, faster demultiplication routines. 
 - There were enforcer hits, when frogger was started under WOS.
   Fixed.
 - Changed window title to: "Movie: filename (widthxheight)".
   Blame Miroslaw Bagrowski for that suggestion ;)
 - Added missing YUV->8bpp conversion routine (cgfx). It has been
   optimized, and is also used in AGA display right now. It seems
   like the 8bpp mode is fastest again ;) (on cgfx of course).
 - New stream recognition routine. The previous one had problems
   with some streams.
 - 68k version crashed when stream could not be recognized. Fixed.
 - fixed problems with audio decoding. Also the audio task sometimes
   failed to exit properly, which should not happen again.
 - Applied some bugfixes and patches done by Przemyslaw Gruchala.
 - PPC AGA memory cleanup routine was broken (mis-alligned FreeMem)
   Fixed.
 - VideoCD reading is now supported in 68k version.
 - A lot of small optimizations in video decoder. As a result
   video decoding is 5-10% faster (depending on options used).
   Check the @{"Speed " link "spd"} section.
 - A lot of other bug fixes. 
 - There is new Splitter, new Argue GUI, and mpegjoin ready to download 
   at Frogger home page.
 - Last but not least: status of Frogger has been changed. Now it
   is shareware. See  @{" Registration " link "reg"}.
 - There will be a lot of new features added, as soon as I will find 
   a day or two free...
 - After receiving a couple of request, I decided to resurect 030
   version.
 - Fixed some problems that appeared on picasso running systems.
 - Rafal Sanda has made a great job with the SCSI support for VideoCD
   option. God bless him ;)
 - Frogger now needs frog.library to run. It is included.
