	My pleasure; it's attached to this email. I also took this
opportunity to patch my credits. I only documented the major components
I've added and although some are presently incomplete, I plan to have them
working by the end of the day. Then I'm going on break...:)

	Thanks...

 <P>So yes, <B>MPlayer</B> can use XAnim's codecs for decoding. It's very
 easy to enable them:</P>
