I tried it but nobody is broadcasting any more in the Win31 versions. I 
wish they would stop 'upgrading' and making things 
non-backwards-compatible.  A ploy to get people to buy new computes and 
more Windows?

DOS or linux?
Perhaps anyone else interested in this topic can email me and we can set 
up a DOS music list informally instead of using the BL list.



Maybe I should try installing Realaudio in regular X not Xvesa in case it 
is looking for something particular.  This means adding 10MB of mostly 
unwanted files to the computer.  I might try it on a test setup first.
Can't do it with Steven's bl2-x setup because it insists on more colors. 
Idiots.  I can listen blindfolded.  The previous Opera worked in mono and 
now it insists on more than 16 colors or gives a segmentation fault.
