Interesting. I've toyed with the idea of having DSpace accept and "advertise" a huge object, but serve up a link to e.g. a video streaming service that has access to the same storage and knows how to play nicely with DSpace's storage layer. But there's no code at all yet. -- Mark H. Wood, Lead System Programmer [email protected] Asking whether markets are efficient is like asking whether people are smart.
