Just 'au' will start the server, auinfo -audio tcp/localhost:8000 will check if it's running, then you should be able to run any of the programs mentioned on the nas manpage in a similar way. AFAIK, apps can't use NAS unless they have support compiled in - see the library.ps file in the source for details on how to do this. -- James Raynard, Edinburgh, Scotland jraynard@dial.pipex.com james@jraynard.demon.co.uk
