I'm not with autodesk – just a poco head trying to help… but I think you're hose'd. {sorry to be so blunt – but better to be honest than lead you on.} I do not think Poco has a simple comand to play a .scr (I just lookd again in manual ) You could probably build such a beast from scratch to emulate .scr play functions… but would be quite a project even in limited way. I'm not sure if there isn't a better way. might be as simple as some .bat files to run the player probably wouldn't be elegant – but hey who cares? what is the bar code device/software capable of doing? I'm assuming it can do some sort of DOS thing. (one solution is to have person behind curtain with key board! – Ok it's not very honest, but there is presidence.) hope you get thru it ok Dave Wright
