   Hi, Denis Mosko!   
   I read your message from 12.12.2013 10:42   
      
     ak>>>> In Russia WinAmp player is a very popular software   
     ak>>>> to play mp3 tracks. Do you know that many Russian   
     ak>>>> fidonet folks (when writing their messages) use a   
     ak>>>> special plugin which adds a line at the bottom of a   
     ak>>>> message which says that "now my Winamp plays   
     ak>>>> xxxx.mp3" It looks cool. If they don't listen to   
     ak>>>> music the last line will be like this: "np:   
     ak>>>> [silence]... (Winamp is not active)" ;-)   
      
     DH>>> Yes, there's a few people in North America who do that,   
     DH>>> but I think the habit has pretty well died out.   
      
     ak>> Probably, now people listen to on-line radio. ;) Also,   
     ak>> Fidonet clients for tablet gadgets don't support such a   
     ak>> feature. IMHO, most people who write to Fidonet now use   
     ak>> such devices. There are a lot of people who spend a lot of   
     ak>> time going to their work places. I know many who spend in   
     ak>> transport two hours and more (one way only).   
     DM> How this programmes named?   
      
   How these programs are named?   
      
   IMHO, as I heard it:   
   a programme is a plan, or a description paper given in a theater.   
   a program is a piece of software.   
      
      
   Here it is:   
   HotdogEd - a freeware fidonet client.  OS Android
