Haha, excellent. Does this mean that Odin is going to be officially taken up and worked upon again? This could be a way to improve Java support as well correct?

At the very least, it may mean some more additions to the Odin code (so the Flash plugin works) that other programs may benefit from.

At worst, it may mean an updated wrapper that will make the Flash plugin work, but wont be helpful for other Win Apps and DLLs.

Balls. Can there be an official partnership between Mensys and Netlabs to spur further Odin development? It really would benefit eCS OS/2 immensely.

Regardless whether this helps other programs run with Odin or not it's an excellent bit of news. eCS needs Flash to stay in touch with all the websites out there that use it. There's something like 90% of websites that have some form of flash.

Good work Roderick!

The only thing this leaves for browsing is Java...

Hi All

Good news that we will soon (hopefully) no longer be running "pirate software" ie the current Flash7.

I think it would be better news if we were getting a "native" code version of Flash though rather than relying on a software wrapper around the windows version but, maybe, that could happen at a future date.

I wonder if Sun scrapped all the Innotek source code except VirtualBox when they acquired Innotek? I guess Roderick will already have thought of that...

Regards

Pete
