As for binkD and the husky stuff, I'm not sure        about those. If binkD and the husky stuff could be ported to BeOS and        assuming they would all run on Haiku, a Point setup could be cobbled        together: binkD + hpt + timEd or Msged ;)              Regards,       Martin              --- OpenXP 5.0.38        * Origin: Bitz-Box - Bradford - UK (2:310/31.3)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 15/2 154/10 203/0 221/0 226/17 229/354 426 1014 240/5832       SEEN-BY: 249/206 317 400 280/464 5003 292/854 310/31 317/3 322/757       SEEN-BY: 342/200 393/68 396/45 423/120 712/848 770/1 2452/250       PATH: 310/31 280/464 229/426           |
