1) There no longer exists any such thing as a "DOS guru". Sad.
2) Arachne with QV.APM can do Shoutcast if additional configuration is
done, it just can't be listened to in real time. Download as many
minutes as you wish to hear (while doing NOTHING else with the PC), THEN
listen to what you downloaded. Hardly worth the config effort, and
doesn't work for Real, of course.
DOS is dead. Live with it. Having a rough time with the fact, myself.
