Exactly, as long as browsers do not give you the flexibility to choose one plugin over another, I have to make sure that people can install one without the other. In fact, I prefer the mozilla-bonobo plugin with ggv over the acroread plugin, but I cannot make mozilla/firefox understand. PS You might wonder why this flexibility is a task for the browser. But there's a good chance that you want mplayer for wmv files, but eg. not mp3's. Or you want .doc files to be handles by openoffice (not abiword via mozilla-bonobo) but excel files via gnumeric. I'm sure normal people couldn't care less as long as it works, but often that's the problem :))) -- dag wieers, dag@xxxxxxxxxx, http://dag.wieers.com/ -- [Any errors in spelling, tact or fact are transmission errors]
