What is more worrying is that now Director (the app used to make a LOT of these works) is no longer supported by Adobe and no sign of them turning .dcr / .dxr formats open source what will happen to all the great early shockwave work as well? > Any one out there know anything on this? as Florian said, there are emulators and they do work well, so it is a solution to view these types of work. a+ gar _________________ [email protected] http://www.asquare.org/ http://www.asquare.org/networkresearch/ # distributed via <nettime>: no commercial use without permission # <nettime> is a moderated mailing list for net criticism, # collaborative text filtering and cultural politics of the nets # more info: http://mail.kein.org/mailman/listinfo/nettime-l # archive: http://www.nettime.org contact: [email protected]
