About redistribution of Autodesk players here's what I've been told (which is of course subject to clarification from the powers that be…): That to redistribute aaplay.dll with a commercial product (excluding not-for-profit cases) will cost a buck a copy. This can be a significant percentage, such as 5-10%, of gross revenue for software say if it is sold to distributors by the developer for $10-20 a copy. I was given this information from Chris Allis and Gayle Okumura at Autodesk. They have both been very helpful and the support at Autodesk has been very good. Of course I wish that this redistribution policy was more accomidating to us small development shops who are trying to make a living by selling low-priced software. I don't know how this applies to the Toolbook Multimedia you describe and I would prefer that the the information I have is somehow wrong 🙂 Maybe Chris or someone from Autodesk out there might want to take this one up… Thanks Vatche
