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 >>Look at the CCC opinion poll.
