My Mosaic.ini has:

[Viewers]
type8="audio/basic"
audio/basic="p:\mosaic\wplany.exe %ls"

[Suffixes]
audio/basic=.au,.AU,.aud,.AUD

In my case, the p: drive is a LAN Manager server. I don't see why the
difference between audio/au and audio/basic would make a difference, but this
setup works for me.

Hope this helps.

Wplany works when I double-click on an .au file or drag it to the Wplany icon,
but I can'g get it to work with mosaic as an external "viewer." I know this
has been discussed recently, but...

I added these lines to tne Mosaic.ini file:
[Viewers]
TYPE9="audio/au"
audio/au="c:\tools\wplany %ls"

[Suffixes]
audio/au=.au,.AU

Help!

Michael.

If you are contacting a HTTP server, it will make a *major* difference.
Using the HTTP protocol, the file typing occurs on the _server_ side. The
server tells the client what type of file it is receiving and then the
client maps this to an external viewer.

The extensions are only used when contacting older services such as FTP
or gopher which don't return a MIME type.

BTW, audio/basic is the correct MIME type for .au files...
