Here's something that's not guaranteed (so keep the regular link handy.) On the days it works, it automatically opens RealPlayer at 8:58 am Thursdays (to give it a couple of minutes to go online, etc) and goes straight to CKUT without bothering to open Netscape. It worked today to the tune of that hot klezmer clarinet.
Use your SystemAgent (in \Program Files\Plus!\sysagent.exe or find it in the SysTray. If you have Plus! Or, there's another Windows thingy too that auto-schedules certain programs to run at specified times - usually scandisk or such. Schedule a new program & use the command: c:\xxxxDirectory\Real\RealPlayer\realplay.exe(space) pnm://real.cam.org/ckut.ra Set the schedule and use Advanced for close time - it closes & goes offline by itself too.
"No Time to Tarry" is c:\INTERNET\Real\RealPlayer\realplay.exe(Space) pnm://208.188.234.102/live.ram Sundays at 2:58 Eastern.
(This is a BIG secret - amaze your friends. RA says it can't be done. Mike sees that it can but don't count on it, like I said.)
