"after all this time, why is there still no Shockwave player for UNIX systems?"
Another good, related question is why isnt the Director Shockwave player being bundled with browsers and OS's just like the Flash player is>? -----Original Message----- From: Mark Scott [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: 03 April 2002 23:24 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: <lingo-l> Re: Not Mac vs. PC Greetings- Mac and PCs are much more alike than different, as are all systems with the WIMP (Windows/Icons/Mouse/Pointer) graphical user interface. But SGI IRIX also has a WIMP GUI! My question is- after all this time, why is there still no Shockwave player for UNIX systems? When I was working on these boxes 4 years ago, I thought it was a shame that much of the richness of websites that used Director Shockwave could not be shared with the academic and research folks on their workstations. Only Windows and Mac plug-ins existed. Recently, I checked again: there are Flash plugins, but not Shockwave ones!! Have UNIX people been written off as too small a market segment or is it just too hard to implement? -Mark Scott Director of Technology J/B Woolsey Associates http://www.jbwoolsey.com -- [To remove yourself from this list, or to change to digest mode, go to http://www.penworks.com/lingo-l.cgi To post messages to the list, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Problems, email [EMAIL PROTECTED]).
