I spoke with a gentlemen at Voyager a couple of weeks ago who had just come
to work there specifically to write PC software to drive the commercial
videodisc players.  They're not making a product announcement or anything,
but he's working on it now.  Interested parties should call them up and
cheer them on.  Voyager seems to do better when encouraged.
