Example of RealSlideshow/RealText SMI file

Source for the RealSlideshow is across three files (.smi, .rp, and .rt), whose contents are given below.

Note that these are OLD instructions from ca. 1999; with the RealNetworks RealOne Player, new tools may be available today.

Click here to play the RealSlideshow presentation in the RealOne Player (assuming it is set up to be your .smi SMIL player).
