rplayer 8 basic

[brent harding]

Nothing in the linux version. You almost have to use internet explorer or
netscape to download the player, and even then it isn't easy, jonathan
mosen was so good to store it on his site, I don't use real player often
enough to make it pay off to try to find the link that gets the info, as
it's likely an image map link that goes to it, and urls going through cgi
scripts are a nightmare to find how to get the one you need like
something.com/cgi-bin/player.cgi?id=xxxxxxxx free, and various other
parameters, and no description of where it leads.
