I have installed it here on 12/26/1997; as I do not have neither
sources of RealAudio software nor of the Windows v.3.1x system I guess
that maybe you must have the Win32s-extensions in order to run it.

 [ Perhaps the "Win32s" extensions are the key here.  There's a wonderful

 [ which they provide as a "test" to see if you installed it right...
 [ Thanks for the suggestion.  The "Win32s" extension can be downloaded

 [ and use the search string "win32s"  and select the "Win3.1" platform.
