A free update for current users. ****************************** WarpCast ****************************** Source: Adrian Gschwend (ktk@netlabs.org) Moderator: Christopher B. Wright (wrightc@dtcweb.com) ********************************************************************** I just found some very interesting news about the Macworld in SanFrancisco: (taken from http://www.appleinsider.com/articles/9812/macworld-sf.shtml) --snip--- QuickTime 4.0--Live Streaming Steve Jobs will most definitely roll out QuickTime 4.0/QuickTime Streaming. QuickTime Streaming will support unicast (a single viewer per stream) as well as multicast (multiple viewers per stream) content, and will also support a number of popular streaming protocols. Streaming QuickTime media can be viewed on the client end from any QuickTime savy application. QuickTime media does not have to be converted into a specific format in order to be streamed. Additionally, extremely reliable sources report that Steve Jobs will announce that the QuickTime 4 Server will be free, ala open source, and hence will not be platform dependent. Potentially QuickTime 4 Server will allow streaming from Mac OS, Mac OS X Server, Linux, WindowsNT, Solaris, you name it! This is a "Big Deal." ---snip--- This would be very good news for OS/2 users, maybe we will get a chance to have a streaming SERVER soon!
