I thought the X11 software had utilities - but perhaps it was (wmv that is) enhanced
and Harvard didn't get out another R series.

[ hum - seems to me on my last machine - Soloris based there was a directory of X11 tools. ]
Maybe it was just ours - being X11 in the first place....

I used to use some neat GUI tools in the 80's and 90's. By 2000 I was with companies
that used PC's and a very few Suns - having shipped the odd HP's to the IT room.

Yep -- "WMV" = "Windows MoVie". I don't know whether anyone has
yet written an open-source program to display those on various flavors
of unix.


Xine for Solaris plays the older version of WMV, but not the newer
version. Admittedly I have an old version of Xine, but I don't think I
can be bothered to upgrade for the sake of watching one video clip. I
wish people would just use AVI or MPG instead.
