Sender: owner-chat@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Date: Sun, 15 Jun 1997 12:47:34 -0700 From: Amancio Hasty Does anyone out there know or have the source for a netscape plugin? Incidentally, don't think that you're going to get plugin functionality in E-scape. The unavalibility of source for plugins makes me uninterested in supporting them. However, I'll be happy to merge Shockwave and RealAudio into the main E-scape sources if you can give me the source and there are clearly no potential copyright or patent problems. (IMHO, plugins allow you to do some of the things you could do if you actually had the source, in a way that requires more work for everyone.) Are there more than a half dozen plugins out there which are truely useful? Is there anything other than Shockwave and RealAudio that are really useful?
