Is it possible to run the Aaplayer under OS2? I have tried this out of DOS and OS2 windows. I always receive a Pharlap error message and Device already in use warning. I would like to play FLCs and SLDs from OS2 without having to go back to DOS. Peter Landeck

I have run the windows player in OS/2. For the DOS player, you should make sure you have the latest version, it has an update to the Pharlap version. -brian

I am using the player which came with the CD rom to the Inside 3D Studio book by New Riders publishing 1994. I think they call it AAPLAYH for some reason; at least that is the name of the directory it installs. Can I adjust the Pharlap using the 3DS utility Cfig386? regards, Peter Landeck

I think it may have the same problem under OS/2. There is a version of Aniplay which ships with ANIPRO 1.3 which has updated the version of phar Lap used and does work under Windows. That would probably work under OS/2 as well, if Phar Lap is really the problem. -Brian

Peter, I use cfig386 on the aniplay.exe all the time. I usually set Max -v = 0 so that the player loads faster on Dos 6 machines. I assume you can do the same on aniplay high.
