Subject: Flash plugin now available for Mozilla on OpenVMS

I have ported Olivier Debon's open source flash player to VMS.  While
this player does not do all things Flash, it certainly does more than
VMS currently has.  It currently does most of Flash 4 but does not
support the actionscript features of Flash 5.

I am currently trying to add support for sound and, once that is done, I
will put the full source kit up.  Until then, anyone who would like to
try the plugin can fetch it from:

ftp://mvb.saic.com/extra/libflashplugin.so

Just copy the LIBFLASHPLUGIN.SO file into SYS$COMMON:[MOZILLA.PLUGINS]
(or into the [.PLUGINS] directory of wherever you installed Mozilla) and
restart your browser.

Feedback welcome.

P.S.  As I mentioned earlier, there will be some flash sites that don't
      work with this plugin, but if you find any that actually cause it
      to generate an error, please let me know.
