You can read this online manual through any frames-capable Web browser. For best results, use the latest version of Netscape Navigator or Microsoft Internet Explorer. This manual is intended to be read from your local computer, either from your hard disk or the RealNetworks product CD. Macintosh Users: If browsing with Microsoft Internet Explorer, use version 4.01 or higher to avoid display problems. OPENING THE MANUAL With your Web browser, open the main HTML file that resides in the top folder (the same folder as this README file). This file sets up the frames and links to the other HTML files. The subfolders in this main folder contain the content files: * graphics--GIF files used to illustrate the manual. * htmfiles--HTML pages that contain the documentation. * icons--GIF files used as icons throughout the manual. * media--multimedia examples. * styles--cascading style sheets used to format the manual. * utils--utilities (omitted if no utilities are needed). USING MULTIMEDIA EXAMPLES Media examples in this online manual are meant to be played back from your desktop machine. They are not configured to stream from a server. You may have difficulty playing them if, for example, a Web server is serving this manual or the manual's files reside on another machine you are accessing through file sharing. MOVING THE MANUAL This manual uses relative hypertext links between files. You can move it to any place on your computer as long as you maintain its relative structure. You can rename the top folder and the main HTML file if you wish. Other files and folders must retain their original names. All files follow 8x3 DOS naming conventions. PRINTING ERRORS Netscape Navigator may fail to print out large HTML files in this manual properly. To work around this problem, you can do either of the following: - Print the file with Microsoft Internet Explorer. - Remove the stylesheet link from the HTML source file header and print the file with Navigator. RealNetworks also provides this manual in Adobe Acrobat PDF. The PDF version includes page numbers in cross references, making it more useful than the HTML version when printed.
