John (et al)

Here is a re-post of one I made I made last September...

.........................................................................
Attention SGI Abekas A60 video disk users.

Those who have used the remote A60 controller software found in 
/usr/people/4Dgifts/iristools/abekas/_panel might be interested to 
find I have made extensive modifications to it.  Much time was spent
verifying that the remote graphics control panel (ACP) emulates 
the actual Abekas one as closely as possible:

	- bugs fixed
	- Command-line A60 hostname specification
	- 4-digit frame position display
	- Variable play speed now saved (for subsequent variable play selects)  
	- Recording implemented
	- Current play status (operation and direction, if known) 
	- Play (normal or variable) speed/Recording length
	- More user GUI feedback (color, text...)
	- Userid stamp (displayed on A60 monitor to show current remote userid) 
	...

If you are interested in obtaining the "diffs" contact me via e-mail. 
.........................................................................

I also forwarded the update to the folks at Abekas who said it would
eventually be integrated into future IRIX releases.


	Kyle
