A media plugin: Either mplayers own plugin, mozplugger, or VLC's own plugin - I'm not 100% sure of this, but I think I remember either xine or mplayer being able to load in QuickTime binary codecs from OSX - and both of these are supported by mozplugger
The newest SWFDec - it doesn't compile out of the box for me and I'm not hugely interested ATM, but will take a look at it again soon if no-one else does. This brings a lot more functionality to the swfdec Mozilla plugin - All of Flash 6 minus ActionScript. OpenOffice 2.0 and its browser plugin - Word, Excel, PowerPoint and OO.o's formats in a very nice looking Firefox plugin. This would be a pretty massive undertaking however, as I've been told that Java is ever more needed in getting OO.o to run, and its database engine is written in Java. PDF plugin? - There has to be a Mozilla plugin for one of the xpdf based PDF viewers. However I don't know of any... Cian On Sun, 27 Feb 2005 10:47:16 -0500, Joseph E.
