We've recently discovered that when you attempt to play an audio clip
in MetaCard on an HPUX 10.20 system, the system panics and reboots.
HP has traced the problem to a bug in the audio device driver and
plans to have a patch available soon. Mean time, they've been able to
give us enough information about the problem that we've devised a
workaround for it. The a patched HP9K700 engine is now available via
anonymous FTP from ftp://ftp.metacard.com/MetaCard/2.0.2.
Everyone using MetaCard 2.0 on HPUX 10.20, or distributing stacks to
users who may be using that release, should get and use the 2.0.2
HP9K700 engine and mctools.mc stack. The next beta-test release of
2.1 will also include the workaround for this problem.
Regards,
Scott
