======================================= AVI Gate for Windows by PRS Corporation ======================================= (Freeware) ----------------- Short Description ----------------- AVI Gate can be used either as a stand-alone AVI player or as a W.W.Web browser helper application. You should tell your browser that AVI Gate should be invoked whenever a Mime = Video/x-msvideo (or whatever your server sends) file is received. AVI Gate will automatically play a AVI video clip when: 1) the browser receives a file with a Mime=AVI header 2) it is given a filename as an argument; otherwise, it will present a directory and file list to choose a video clip file interactively. In case (1) the video clip will be played even if the file received has an extension <> ".avi" - which does happen! The program will queue itself in if a clip is received/given before another one has finished playing. At the end of play, the program automatically terminates. Finally, although the program is automatically reduced to an icon at start up, it can be restored if one wishes to see or control the status of the player. -------------------- Minimum Requirements -------------------- AVI Gate for MS Windows require the following: - IBM PC compatible machine; - MS Windows Version 3.1 or later; - Microsoft (or compatible) mouse; - Sound card and appropriate drivers; - VBRUN300.DLL in the \Windows\System subdirectory.
