The source for 2.3 patched version of mpeg_plag is available from
mm-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/mpeg/play and compiles on a DU4.0
alphastation with the proper development software subsets installed:
cp Imakefile.proto Imakefile
xmkmf
make
This produced:
-rwxr-xr-x 1 root ce 237568 Jan 21 11:26 mpeg_play
If you need this, it is available via ftp from:
mm-ftp.cs.berkeley.edu:/pub/mpeg/play/mpeg_play-DU4.0-2.3-patched
(Thanks Berkeley Plateau Multimedia Project!)
