XAT 5.02 Pro slideshow plus CD-DA question

[eds56ch]

Russel,

After reading your message again, it looks like you are asking if
anyone knows how to launch the Xatshow executable and bypass the
start up screen. If you can't do that, I don't know how one could
play audio from a separate program and show the slides at the same
time. Maybe playing xatshow into a computer and recording it in mpeg
format, than laying down the audio file and the mpeg file on the same
disk???
