Quick Wav

Quick Wav (QWAV) is a Visual Basic program that lets you play standard Windows sound files that have been recorded in the WAV format.

QWAV requires VBRUN300.DLL, the Visual Basic 3.0 support file.  If you don't have this file, it's available on many bulletin boards, including Compuserve's MSBASIC forum.

Linking  QWAV to a sound

QWAV is easy to use.  Add it to a Program Manger group like any other Windows application.  Select a group, then use File.New to add the program to the selected group.  The title should be QWAV, as should the command line.   Note that if you don't have QWAV.EXE in your path, you'll have to fully specify the name of the file.  Put the name of a WAV file on the command line after QWAV (e.g., "\utils\qwav \windows\tada.wav") When you double click the icon, "tada.wav" will be played without any other interaction with QWAV.


Using QWAV interactively

If you don't put anything after "qwav.exe" in the command line field, when you start QWAV, it will display the familiar Windows "select a file" dialog.  Select a file and click "PLAY" to play it.  By default, it will show files in the "working directory", as specified in the File.Properties dialog of Program Manager.
