Thanks to all who responded to this last week.  I finally was able to 
start converting my .rm files to .mp3 with your help.

I ended up using the above Perl Audio Converter, along with Mplayer & 
Helix, and lets not forget all codecs.  I added the required command + 
options to the end of my daily mirror script.

I am happy that now my box automaticlly pulls the daily .rm files, and 
converts them to .mp3's without any hassle.

FYI:  The box in questions is a Pent 200 w/ 96 Megs of Ram.  The 
conversion time is long, but steady ;-)

Kind Regards,

Robert De Mars
