Richard Stallman on Free Software

[Charles Hallenbeck]

Dan -
I first began using ogg/vorbis before I upgraded my Slackware
from 7.1 to 8.0, and the first ogg/borbis version I used was
called "RC2" (Release Candidate 2). After upgrading I noticed
that the ogg/vorbis package included in the Slackware 8.0 distro
was only RC1, and I also had trouble making it work on the files
I had created with RC2. I am afraid the answer to your question
is that you need to upgrade your ogg123 and related programs from
RC1 to RC2. I understand there is even an RC3 now, but I have not
gone there yet either.

If anyone wants a binary of the ogg123 player that works on my
system with the Stallman file, I will be glad to attach it to a
private email. Just whistle.
