Bare Bones Software Posts BBEdit QuickTime Object-Embed Tag Script
BEDFORD, Mass. - May 31, 2006 - Bare Bones Software, developer of
leading-edge power tools for Mac OS X, today posted an AppleScript script
for use with BBEdit to assist Web developers in the migration away from the
EMBED tag for deployment of QuickTime content.
As a result of the recent settlement between Microsoft and Eolas
Technology, the EMBED tag is no longer supported without viewer interaction
in updated versions of Internet Explorer 6, nor will it be in future
versions of Internet Explorer. Any HTML code that uses the EMBED tag must
perforce be modified to ensure future compatibility when delivering
QuickTime content over the web.

founder and CEO of Bare Bones Software, Inc. "The changes to IE require Web
developers to alter their code, which, if the site is QuickTime-rich, can
