Application of this patch is strongly recommended. + +The file movie15_dvipdfmx.patch brings the xelatex/dvipdfmx-enhanced +version of movie15.sty available at +http://cvs.ktug.or.kr/viewcvs/dvipdfmx/contrib/latex/movie15.sty.sample?revision=1.1 +up-to-date with the latest official 2008/10/08 version. For convenience the +patched version is also included as movie15_dvipdfmx.sty; it should be +renamed to movie15.sty and installed in the local latex directory. + +The file movie15_20090323.patch works around a problem with 3Dgetview that +shows up under Windows XP in the 2009/03/23 version of movie15.sty. + |
