Well, obviously I'm talking about different sources to you, (mine are
from s2k-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:pub/multimedia/mpeg, and the VERSION file
says VERSION 2.0, and the README says (Version 2.0; Jan 27 1993))
because there were no conflicting-type thingies, no calls to Motif,
and, most specifically, no support for any displays other than 24-bit
(TrueColor) or 8-bit (like Suns etc). [There's also monochrome support,
but monochrome mpegs are a bit ...uhhm... minimalist for me] 

The MouseX (Hi!) server which I use on the NeXT has 16-bit colour, and
the LCD display on pumpy can only do 4-bit colour, and so I added
support for them.

Tschuess,
Alistair
