Hi Ian,

None! The facility is built into any os2krnl as FAT's not an IFS.

Hi Ian,

Previous response assumed that you weren't running in PROTECTONLY=YES mode!
*Might* need DOS.SYS entry in config.sys to actually read it as a User?

You don't. FAT16 support is hardcoded into the file os2krnl.

Subject:   Flash Plugin

Hi all

I've just been on the BBC's Hitchhikers site ...

	http://www.bbc.co.uk/radio4/hitchhikers/game.shtml

and it requires a Flash plugin.  I checked my "About Plugins" page and I 
have it (npswf2.dll Shockwave Flash 5.0 r67) installed.  I using eCS 
v1.2 with the default install of Mozilla with the Shockwave Flash 
plugin.  Does anyone out there have any ideas please?

Thanx
Kev Downes

seems to work with Firefox and:
"You have version 7,0,14,0 installed"
Shockwave Flash

    File name: npswf2.dll
    Shockwave Flash 7.0 r14
    OS/2 Runtime Environment © 2003 InnoTek® Systemberatung GmbH

MIME Type 	Description 	Suffixes 	Enabled
application/x-shockwave-flash 	Shockwave Flash 	swf 	Yes

well, it loaded, afterwards, I did manage to expire the whole browser

so, perhaps it works

Is this a trick question Ian ??

I don't believe this is related to protectonly as we used to install OS/2 servers
without protect only set and had some FAT16 partitions on those.

I presume you don't mean FAT32 right ?

Cheers/2

Well this is a copy and paste from my "About Plugins" page ...
	Shockwave Flash
	
	    File name: npswf2.dll
	    Shockwave Flash 5.0 r67

.... and I have a 4 or 5 day old default install of eCS 1.2

Hi Kev,
What you have with eCS 1.2 is the "officially-released" [authorised] 
version.  The Version 7 edition "just happened" to accidentally find its 
way onto the Internet via Russia, IIRC.

Thanks for that, and thanks to Kris Steenhaut for the v7 file.  All 
seems to be working

Hi Kev,

I didn't forward the file as Innotek had requested that it not be 
distributed further, some time ago.
