OK, done now.  Thanks.

Are you sure that there's no "setmode()" function (i.e., without the 
underscore)??  This call is important, to ensure that the stream is 
written/read in binary mode.

If there's no "setmode()" (or "_setmode()") in the Borland libraries, then 
how do you tell an input (or output) stream that it should be read 
(written) in binary mode?

OK, but you can get this effect by changing the #ifdef in 
"liveMedia/include/Media.hh" to:

#ifdef __BORLANDC__
#define _setmode setmode
#define _O_BINARY O_BINARY
#define _strnicmp strnicmp
#define fabsf(x) fabs(x)
#endif

OK, I'll change the instructions accordingly.  Thanks.
