In this directory:
(for Netscape 3.0b5)

libfileplugin.so -  a plugin using a temporary file to play RealAudio
Makefile.file   -  Makefile for same
npfile.c         -  source for same

libwavplugin.so -  a plugin for audio/x-wav using a pipe to wavplay
Makefile.wav    -  Makefile for same
npwav.c         -  source for same
diodes-wav.html -  demo for same

libaudioplugin.so -  a (broken) plugin for audio/basic
                     will only play short files
libconsoletextplugin.so - a version of libtextplugin.so that prints
                     to /dev/console

libtextplugin.so  - the original text plugin that doesn't work
                    because it needs Motif or isn't otherwise built right

diodes.html, bong.html - demo for audio plugin

text*html - demos for text plugin

You should create a directory ~/.netscape/plugins and copy
the lib*plugin* to it. Spurious files in there cause a load of
warning messages.

Info about plugins can be had in the Netscape "URL" "about:plugins".

It should be relatively easy for someone (better at C than me; 
not difficult ...) to create a streaming WAV player from this and
the wavplay package.

libtextplugin.so :
This is the Netscape text plugin from the Unix SDK built with gcc -shared.
The Unix SDK may be accessed from Netscape via Help --> about plugins

The info page about:plugins is displayed correctly, but Netscape crashes
if I actually access a text file.

The library built with only minor warnings:

gcc -c -g -DXP_UNIX -DPLUGIN_TRACE -fPIC -I. -I/usr/include -Wall npunix.c
gcc -c -g -DXP_UNIX -DPLUGIN_TRACE -fPIC -I. -I/usr/include -Wall npshell.c
npshell.c: In function `NPP_SetWindow':
npshell.c:256: warning: unused variable `form'
npshell.c: In function `NPP_Print':
npshell.c:444: warning: unused variable `printOne'
npshell.c:442: warning: unused variable `platformPrint'
npshell.c:465: warning: unused variable `platformPrint'
npshell.c:463: warning: unused variable `printWindow'
npshell.c:422: warning: unused variable `This'
gcc -shared -Wl,-soname,libtextplugin.so -Wall -o libtextplugin.so npunix.o npshell.o 

It used header files from the SWiM Motif 1.2.1 distribution
