Thanks! It would seem that non-proprietary support for animated graphics, or better yet animated graphics synchronized to sound, ala Flash, would be a likely candidate for an open source development project. Too bad, but my skills are not strong in that area, although I do have some MPEG-2 video decoder experience. My experience has mostly been involved with real-time and embeddded OS development, and telephony stuff. -- -------- "And there came a writing to him from Elijah" [2Ch 21:12] -------- R. J.
