You will end up with 2 files filename.vmf and filename.vmd
Move both files to your web server documents directory and
create a link from your html
If using Web Course In a Box, use the Learning Links feature
to upload both filename.vmf and filename.vmd. Then, create a link to the filename.vmd
file. page to the filename.vmd
Real Audio Procedures

Create a Real Audio Meta File (use any text editor and save
to plain text format)
Name the Meta file: filename.ram (for Real Audio Player) or
filename.rpm (for Real Audio Plugin).
The Meta file is a text file and contains a reference to the
location of the encoded real audio file on your Real Audio server. Example:
pnm://madduck.mmd.vcu.edu:7077/grusin.ra
Move the Meta File to your Web Server documents directory and
create a link from your html page to the meta file.
