This is based on a file originally downloaded from
http://web.ukonline.co.uk/Members/gc.yuen/RA.lha
It was altered according to the instructions given by jh@netcom.com, and recompiled
with GCC.
To use it, you'll need
1) An Amiga (what else would you want?)
2) A recent ixemul.library (I use 47.2)
3) A sampleplayer capable of handling 16-bit, signed raw data, such as:
a) Play16
b) AHI
Instructions:
1) Download a .ra file from your favorite source. It has to be one meant
for playback over a 14.4 modem (don't ask me, I have no idea why, other than that
the compression algorithms must be different).
2) Open a shell window.
3) If you're using Play16, type
RA myrafile.ra >tempfile
Play16 tempfile RAW SIGNED BITS 16 FREQ 8000
Or, if you want to use AHI, you can type
RA xmasshow.ra >AUDIO:B/16/F/8000/T/SIGNED
Voila! You should now be listening to a RealAudio file on your Amiga!
Good luck, and enjoy!
Note: I take no credit whatsoever for this. I didn't write it, although I wish
that I did. I just changed a couple of lines, following posted instructions, and
compiled it.
Changes:
1.1 Fixed so that it works with PIPE: for concurrent downloading and playing.
Thanks Francis!!!
Changed main()'s return type to int.
Added an AmigaDOS version string to the beginning.
