"Is it possible (from the legal view) to distribute the AAPLAY.DLL freely even if I don't own the Animator software?" Yes it is legal. Thanks for asking. Your next question will be, "How can I repress the startup Autodesk brag screen?" This is our way of making it easy to get credit for the player without having to go through legal hoops. There is a version of the .DLL which does not pop up the banner, available through Autodesk by paying royalty fees. This requires a bit more work, contractual stuff, etc. If you need to follow through on that, email xris@autodesk.com through the internet. I have forgotten the steps to send internet mail through CompuServe. Nik
