- Hello. What DECW$CD_PLAYER are you alluding to and where can I find it with
- useful examples ? I poked around a bit on our machine looking in likely DECW
- directories and came up with zilch. How would I use this on a VS4000 model 60
- with its speaker ? A blow-by-blow or a pointer to some doco would be
- appreciated. If you receive any answers to your questions, please post a
- summary to this newsgroup. Good luck.
- Regards, Dave.
