No, first I've heard of it. Is this a patch I can do
myself, or do I need the file(s) ? Does it actually
work ? By that I mean, is a V7 masquerading as V9
sufficient to handle most current Flash content ? I'd
be surprised if the answer is 'Yes.'
The last I saw about this -- quite awhile ago -- were
some posts about the Innotek Windows wrapper approach
not working for Flash beyond V7.

I don't know if you read the above closely enough, but
you can't even test this out on our side of the fence:
the websites just refuse you entry, saying you need to
upgrade your version of Flash first. But, in regard
to the Dark Side SM 111 (what I was specifically
referring to) you can try out these examples:
1) I was getting tired of seeing Country Code
abbreviations and not knowing what they were. I knew
that .TW is Taiwan, but kept seeing .RO as the
recommended mirror for a popular download archive, and
wondering "where the heck is .RO ?" So I went to
Google and found this chart
http://www.learnthenet.com/english/html/85tldn.htm
{Answer: it stands for ROmania. Not at all what I
expected.} Anyway, if I try to Save this -- either
the frame or the whole page -- I get discombobulated
HTML gibberish, not a nice chart like you see in the
browser. I did not try to print it out, because I
mainly wanted to save a reference file. So I settled
for a bookmark, plus simple highlighting to grab the
text for the clipboard, and then cleaned up the
formatting with my word processor afterwards. But NO
lined chart.
2) Go to http://www.sundancechannel.com/schedule/
then, on the right hand side, try to click on the
buttons for "Print Monthly Schedule" or "Print Film
Descriptions." Over here, its dead as a doornail,
from _various_ Profiles that have the same Flash 9,
but *different* everything else . . . which tends to
lead me away from blaming plugins or extensions. In
IE, those buttons work without a hitch. I could
probably come up with some more examples like this,
without too much difficulty, although I would call
these rare exceptions, in that most multimedia page
content works fine for me in SM.
[What usually happens in these cases is that you or
someone else will say "Works fine here." Which is
utterly confounding. Maybe we inhabit parallel
universes, most of the time.]
BUT, if there is some good, later-Flash solution for
OS/2, I'd definitely like to get it working for me.
