The shared objects are just swz files, which are just swf files that have been signed by adobe. They are just framework files, they are about 10MB of swf files that are commonly used on sites like cnn, youtube, yahoo... They are RSL (Runtime Shared Libraries) and are just libraries, not applications and not datasets. _______________________________________________ UPHPU mailing list [email protected] http://uphpu.org/mailman/listinfo/uphpu IRC: #uphpu on irc.freenode.net
