And it would still likely be a violation of the policy of the institutions in question; I'm sure that libraries want their patrons using their resources to play netrek. Plus the last I checked flash was still a closed technology, didn't we go through the whole closed-source thing with Trent's client? Do we want to go down that road again? Historically flash has also not been the most stable plugin; I still hear almost daily of incidents where flash barfs on both linux and win32/64 platforms. Not to mention that I don't see flash being a viable platform for netrek requirements. IM(ns)HO, this is just a waste of time and effort; time and effort that could be much better spent elsewhere.

And nudge yourself past the brink of tacit support to action. Once a month, once a year, or just once. -- Joss Whedon (1964-), writer and film director -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
