newsPrecord updated to 9.0.3
Precord, an audio recorder and player, has been in all my Easy, Quirky, and earlier pups, for many years.
The author, mcewanw, has a thread on the Puppy Forum:

I have just upgraded from version 8.1.4 to 9.0.3, and fixed a couple of small things, so my PET is 9.0.3-1.
It is not a good practice to have a hidden file in /etc, so I have changed /etc/precord/.precordrc to /etc/precord/precordrc.
Ditto, ~/.precord/.precordrc is now ~/.precord/precordrc
JWM does not display the icon, mini-record.xpm in the menu. It used to, but version 2.3.7 doesn't.
The reason is, it is actually a png file.
I have removed it from the PET, that is, removed
/usr/share/mini-icons/mini-record.xpm, as woofQ (used to build Easy and
Quirky) now has mini-record.xpm, an actual XPM image.
That's at rootfs-skeleton/usr/local/lib/X11/mini-icons/mini-record.xpm
in woofQ
My modified PET:

One thing, the XPM image doesn't look quite as nice as the PNG.
