<sorry if this is a duplicate> Neal, everything there is to be said about this project is on this thread (and a bit more in the README file in the project). You can download the project right from this yahoo group: http://launch.groups.yahoo.com/group/disklavier/files/All%20new%20uploads%20go%20here%21/ It's called DKVBrowser.rar You are correct that it runs on a PC that is part of the wifi network that the Mark IV makes available. -Kevin --- In disklavier@yahoogroups.com, "Neal Polan" <carwizard@...> wrote: > > Second request. > > I think what you are doing is fantastic.
