Some senseless babbling from Stewart Honsberger to All
on 09-15-99  15:47 about ASF Player?...

 SH> Hullo, all.

ASF doesn't have a compression level approaching MPEG.  Don't confuse less 
information with more compressed information.

 SH> Thanks in advance!

I very much doubt there is any way to play those files except on MS's media 
player.
