SoundX is a little program that I developed to play WAV files
in windows 3.1.

I wrote it so that I could easily play WAV files from within a
Visual Basic program.  However, it is a stand alone program
so you can use it for other stuff too.

In file manager I associated Soundx.exe to .WAV files so that when
I double clicked on files with a .WAV extension, they played 
immediately.  Otherwise you have to press play on Sound Recorder.
I guess you can minimize Sound Recorder you can drag the .WAV files
to it and it will automatically play them, but I like my way
better.

Of course to play any .WAV file you have to have a sound card or
PC speaker driver installed.

Now the disclaimer:

Be warned: I am not a good C programmer at all, hence the fondness
for Visual Basic.  I threw this program together from sample programs
in the Microsoft C/C++ 7.00 release (namely Reverse and Multipad).
It probably has some bugs, and it may do some nasty stuff to your
computer.  I tested it on my computer and nothing bad happened so
I think it will work.  But, if you put it on your computer I am
not responsible for anything that happens.
