Hi Ed,

I regard what you intend as a good compromise!

This way you don't have to implement the auto232 if others don't.
But it can be activated soon as things are settling the the heat is off.

From all I heard I am convinced that Junior5 will have the autoplayer again.
And I heard of no top program retiring autoplay support (so far).

So there is a sound chance that all the autoplayer trouble might come to an end
for a while.

Even more:
I would appreciate it very much if Bob Hyatt's proposal could lead us further
some day and supply a standard network-autoplayer fully functional in
Windows95/98, NT, Linux and whatever..., accepted by all and for example
cooperating with a possible future windows Rebel as well as with most other top
programs.


Anyway I thank you for trying to find a reasonable compromise.


Kind regards
from Dirk
