Actually, I have been using real audio for some time with lynx.exe under
windows. The streaming part of it is not a lynx problem. A real audio
stream is a standard URL which points to a URL that is passed to the
real audio player, and it is the real audio player that does the
streaming, not the web browser.
P. S. How do you like my personal name info? I did it without the
LYMail.c questionnaire that was added in a later lynx version.
