For platforms that have NSAPI then, as François says, there's nspluginwrapper to work with. For anything else, pass. However, I disabled the RISC OS plugin support as, in certain circumstances, it can take out the browser. I know why, it's just a somewhat large job to fix (it's related to the gui_multitask mess). > Estimate of amount of work required?

I think the above answers this :) It's something that should probably happen at some point, but, as you say, there's no pressing need, and it's probably too much effort right now. J.
