| The next generation format spread committee |
|
This was a new initiative from the members of the PNG/MNG BBS. It is still flagged as temporary, but already looks very nice, and now hosts the PNG/MNG BBS forum as well. With thanks to Mr. HARIMAWO for providing the web-server. The site appears to have disappeared now, but the PNG/MNG BBS has reportedly re-appeared under the new name of NGIF-UG and maintained now by Mr. SATO Akihiro aka Cocky (see below). |

Mr. Sakura Dzuki, responsible for the MNG compiler, mentioned to me that J-Phone appearently have adopted MNG on their cellular phones.
