The Flash plugin to which I referred appears to be a version of Flash 7
that Innotek developed for OS/2 but then could not get permission from
MacroMedia to distribute (probably because MacroMedia did not want to
upset Micro$oft).

Really? What about this message from the Macromedia chief:


**********
OS2Voice -


Your news post "Net: Ask Macromedia to allow Flash 7 for OS/2" has
certainly caught our attention. And while I understand that there are many
people who would like to have the Flash Player 7 for OS/2. Flash Player 7
for OS/2 does not exist. Macromedia has not created Flash Player 7 for
OS/2, and we are not preventing any third party from releasing it. None of
our licensees have ported Flash Player 7 to OS/2.


I certainly understand that folks are frustrated, especially since they
think we are holding something from them. I want to personally assure you
we are not holding back the Flash Player product from the OS/2 community.

Although is has been suggested that further distribution of this file
may harm Innotek and hinder its further development of products for
OS/2,

Which is as near the truth as the pile of weapons for mass destruction 
someone was talking about not a long time ago.


There is "floating" around a next generation (flash7b), and this one 
makes it clear what it all is about: tying to and making it impossible 
to use programs from competitors.

Perhaps you won't be assimilated but sure your system could be trashed. 
So everybody has been warned,
