I copied this file to a testbed machine we were about to wipe anyways, and
discovered the following:
1. It does claim to be "Microsoft NetShow for Unix"
2. It is NetShow V2.0, dated 1997
3. For every ASF file I could find, it played nothing. Closer inspection
revealed that it said it did not support any of the CODECs present.
Overall, I wouldn't bother. Not only does it not work, I can't rule out the
possibility that it is a very well constructed trojan. Microsoft's website
makes no mention of a NetShow for Linux anywhere that I could find.
