Default .RT REAL TEXT -type of file


..RT REAL TEXT -type of file





Hello!



I was just wondering how come some of my text files have turned into REAL
TEXT-type (.RT) files?



Are there any known security threats in Real P(l)®ayer, since not so many
text editing programs convert their files into .rt and could hackers use
this program to snoop ones personal computer?




When I click this text file it starts playing the title in the bar and shows
the file content in a window. I would use such a gap, if I were a hacker or
cracker, but unfortunately I am you enemy, wno do not dial 911.



I know I am a bit paranoid about these things, but it would not be anything
new to snoop things via music and video program connected to the Internet.



Sincerely,





Åke Tyvi

The extention may have shrik due to a ISO backup procedure, but I do not
like even the possibility.
