But not much! The Shockwave flash plugin that is available is -- according to what ``about:plugins'' reports -- only version 4.0 pl while according to the flash web site I was downloading v 5.0 pl . Moreover, seems that when I try this Flash library on the *.edu site I'm trying to reach, the plugin isn't recognized. It may be that the college only allows Windoze, tho because cartoonnetwork.com that used to request that I install a flash plugin now no longer does. My daughter ought to be happy... that's what inspired this probe. Anyway,, I'd be much obliged for any comments. IS v4 == v5? Also, are there any serious efforts underway for open-source versions of these plugin modules?
