realaudio under os/2!

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------
this document will help you get realaudio working under os/2 in a winos2
session.. you'll need to update the dos tcp/ip drivers and add some stuff to
your autoexec.bat, its not too hard =)

first, grab the dos tcp/ip update from here, copy it to a temp. directory
and run "dosbox ." (notice the "."!) to unpack the files, now reboot.. when
it displays the "OS/2 Warp" thing at the top of the screen, press ALT-F1,
then F2 to go to a command prompt. when the system is done booting, go into
the temp. directory and copy:

vdostcp.sys into c:\tcpip\bin
vdostcp.vdd into c:\mptn\bin
vdosctl.exe into c:\mptn\bin
vdebug.exe into c:\mptn\bin
winsock.dll into c:\tcpip\dos\bin

type "exit", the computer will reboot as usual.. once the system has booted,
edit c:\autoexec.bat and add the line "SET ETC=C:\MPTN\ETC", then add
"C:\TCPIP\DOS\BIN;" to the path statement.

now that dos tcp/ip is upgraded and working, you need to get realaudio 5.0
from here. choose the 5.0 version for OS/2 (which is actually the win3.1
version), download it along with Video for Windows, its on the same download
page as Realaudio 5.0... Install Realaudio 1st but don't let it install
itself into Netscape/2! It will corrupt your netscape.ini file (which is
bad!). close Realaudio, install Video for Windows and then re-open
Realaudio, everything should be fine! if you get an error about it can't be
run in a seemless session, you'll need to edit win.ini, under [drawdib] add
"DVA=0" then save. edit system.ini, search for "device=dva.386", remove that
line and save.. everything should work fine and dandy now =)
