The redhat courseware delivered in Java and Flash coupled with the EULA of the digitalthink seem prevent the porting of this content to alternative display mechanisms. Even if you had the means to reverse engineer the files and display them on an alternative viewer, that would IMHO violat the contract with redhat and digtalthink. So that means you need to use the non-free viewers provided by macromedia and sun, and are futher bound by thier licence agreements. mike ===== James Michael DuPont http://introspector.sourceforge.net/ __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
