The AfterShock utility does work with both SWF and DCR files, true.

Reminder: IE/Mac does not reveal its installed plugins when its JavaScript

navigator.plugins property is queried. The difference with this browser is

not due to AfterShock... this browser acts differently with handwritten

JavaScript, too.

   (Although there is a nominal ActiveX spec for Macintosh, I don't know of

any real implementations to it... IE/Mac tends to use Netscape plugins,

instead.)
