We assume that xplay is only being run as a Netscape helper, which means
that the paths etc are correctly set by the caller environment. However,
I'll be happy to put an explicit path on xplay_static today. It'll show up
tomorrow, after propagation.
Xplay is only supported for Solaris. As I say, we consider it primarily a
Netscape helper, and SGIs have their own program which performs an
equivalent function.
