From: sojacobson@mmm.com Subject: Re: Help in installing Real Player 5.0. Lissa, I just installed RealAudio 5.0 over 2.0 and didn't have any problems. I had not done much with 2.0, though, so I was not concerned about saving any previous settings, though. I would probably try to make a copy of the file containing your saved sites incase they do not get carried forward, though so that you know where to find them again. It seems to me that I was prompted as to whether I wanted the 2.0 version removed as part of the 5.0 install. Good luck. > Hi everyone, > > I have been using Internet Explorer 3.02 since January 1998. I believe > Real Player 2.01 came with Windows 95.

They are usually listed in tv guide, but I have heard of software that allows you to create your own bar codes. I am not totally familiar with bar coding as I just prefer to take the extra time to enter the information via direct access.

Do not just randomly delete files - that can cause system instability since there is a system registry which might point to those files and if they are not there when needed, boom! The correct procedure is to upgrade to a newer version. Just go to http://www.real.com and download Real Player 5.0. It will automatically update the version that is on your system.

I've been on the trail of the same thing, and it seems to be an elusive beast. An announcement of an ACRL/NEC conference entitled "Widening the Door: Access to Web-Based Resources for Users with Disabilities" last April mentioned "a recent Department of Justice ruling" on ADA and web design. It took some effort to find anyone associated with the conference who could give us a citation, but eventually they referred us to: National Disability Law Reporter, vol. 10, issue 6, 9/11/97 (?) The NDLR contained a short article which read: "More and more businesses are using Internet web pages as a marketing tool. To what extent does the ADA require such pages to be acessible to people visual impairments? In response to an inquiry from a United States senator, the Justice Department advised that ADA requirements do apply to Internet web pages Entities subject to Title II or III of the statute must provide effective communication, the agency said, regardless of whether they generally communicate via print, audio or computerized media such as the Internet. If a covered entity uses the Internet to communicate regarding its programs, goods, or services, then those communications should be offered through accessible means. One way to do so is to provide web page information in text format that is accessible to screen reading devices that are used by people with visual impairments. Another acceptable option, according to the Justice Department, is to make known, in a screen-readable format on the web page, the availability of other accessible formats such as Braille or large print." I haven't seen the full NDLR ssue myself; apparently there's a more complete (?) version available for a fee. But exactly what the DOJ said and whether it represented a mandate on web design is still unclear to me. I'm in the same boat as you -- I believe I'm doing the right thing already, and wish it were a bit easier to find out whether there's a letter of the law I should be adhering to as well. -- Prentiss Riddle ("aprendiz de todo, maestro de nada") riddle@rice.edu -- Webmaster, Rice University / http://is.rice.edu/~riddle -- Opinions expressed are not necessarily those of my employer. --- # Origin: NFBnet <--> Internet Email Gateway (1:282/1045) * Origin: The Playhouse TC's Gaming BBS/www.phouse.com/698.3748 (1:282/4059) --------------- FIDO MESSAGE AREA==> TOPIC: 233 NFB BLIND NEWS Ref: F5J00002Date: 05/14/98 From: "LISA HALL" Time: 04:54am \/To: ALL (Read 0 times) Subj: Re: Help in installing Real Player 5.0.
