For most people it's easier to start with something that is already there than start something from scratch. For less advanced users it's also easier to fix things than write them from scratch. If that functionality is working on 32-bit platform then it would be much simpler to make it work on 64-bit platform than write everything from scratch. Of course there are some terrible things in nature that would get better result when done from scratch but I think thats not the case if someone use this particular STAPL PLAYER code with success... anyway it can be always fully replaced with better implementation ;-) Best regards! :-) -- CeDeROM, SQ7MHZ, http://www.tomek.cedro.info ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ All of the data generated in your IT infrastructure is seriously valuable.
