Chime sent me an old vlcrc file chime has and I want to report that file works very well over here. I understand why videolan did not include the needed documentation to make this file since the file is 83k in size and there would be lots to include in it. Maybe a vlc expert could look at that file and remove any unnecessary configuration for command line users but since vlc-nox cannot install on all distributions a little extra configuration accommodating both text and graphical environments wouldn't hurt. -- Jude <jdashiel at panix dot com> "There are four boxes to be used in defense of liberty: soap, ballot, jury, and ammo.
