A typical .ram file would be 1 line of text, so try to open it with Word, and you would see something like pnm://g2.hosting.com/dotcom/Summertime.rm It isn't a great deal of help though, as the server won't let you get the actual .rm file. But the point is if the size of the .ra file is a few bytes (use "info" on the file) that's what it is, not the actual binary of the music. Limewire is a variation on Napster. People use it to "share" files of all kinds, a lot of MP3 especially. -- Alan -- G-List is sponsored by <http://lowendmac.com/> and...
