Sorry for the confusion but I slough the responsibility off on Microsoft.
Win3.1 had a program SNDREC.EXE and Win95 replaced this with SNDREC32.EXE but some
of the menus continue to say SNDREC when that will really connect to SNDREC32.EXE.
It's nice to see that you are careful.
I refused to use RealPlayer and for the couple sites which used it and which I wanted
to hear I wrote emails telling them so and said they should have Windows Media Player
as an alternate. And they did. All because of me. No, actually because a lot of
people have objected to it. But I haven't missed it and sites tend to use WMP or
Macromedia Flash nowadays. I haven't run into one with RealPlayer that I wanted
to hear in over a year. No, there was that excerpt from a 1930s cartoon of the song
"Suzy Snowflake", a Christmas song that no one hears nowadays. It was in .RA format
but I can play those in Irfanview.
There is a RealPlayer Alternative but it is for Win2K and higher.
Make your own decision on that.
I don't know what you mean by Lotus. I only know that as the most popular DOS spreadsheet
program.
