[muglo] Re: CBC Radio One Audio Clip

Thanks for the info, Eric.

To make a long story short, I have been able to access the CBC story 
clips by using Real Audio Player for OS 8/9.  I turned on my internet 
connection and dropped the .ram file on Real Audio.  It started to 
play after buffering.

I'm meeting a deadline for Monday, but will investigate your 
suggestions regarding Hijack later.
