Whoops.

You also must have RealAudio 5, which runs on  Windows95 or Windows98
only [and probably requires a Pentium processor].  Those of us with
old Windows 3.11, can only use RealAudio 3, and the site doesn't
handle that.  We get the message that it is not a RealAudio format,
because it is 5.0's.
