This package consists of Looper and Player, two sound applications. Looper is a Windows application that plays digitized audio files in wave format (files with the .wav extension) continuously in the background. It can handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is capable playing of. The size of the Wave file to be looped must not be larger than half of your installed physical memory (not the virtual memory Windows provides). You can easily stop and restart the looping process. With Looper you can have a lot of fun. It can almost turn your computer into a Sampler, a Beat Box or a drum machine. Player is a sound player which can handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is capable playing of. There are no limitations to the length of the Wave file to be played. You are now able to play Wave files by simply doubleclicking them in the File Manager. Normally, this isn't the case - launching a Wave file calls up the Sound Recorder with the Wave file loaded in memory. If you have a Pro AudioSpectrum 16 or compatible sound card, you can use its feature to play back two Wave files simultaneously with Looper and Player. Player can also play Wave files while you're playing .mod files and much more. Once you installed Player, launching a Wave file from the File Manager or Norton Desktop For Windows drive window will play the sound. This allows greater flexibility for organizing and playing sounds. For example, you can now install all of your sounds in a Program Manager group. Doubleclicking their icons will then play them. By installing a Wave file in your Autostart Group you are now able to play a sound of unlimited length when Windows starts up. When you use Norton Desktop For Windows as your Windows Shell, you can make easy use of Player's feature to play back several Wave files after another. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� What Software And Hardware Requirements Do They Have? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� You must have either Windows with Multimedia Extensions or Windows 3.1 or above installed on your system. You will also need at least 1 Mega- byte of RAM and a sound card that is capable of playing back digitized sounds (such as a Sound Blaster card). It is also required that you put the file BWCC.DLL which comes with The Wave Utilities 2.3 in your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. It contains the custom controls for The Wave Utilities. If you should already have a copy of it you only have to keep the one with the latest date. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� How Do I Install Them On My System? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The installation is very easy. Simply copy BWCC.DLL into your WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory and the Wave files into the directory where you store your other Wave files. The remaining files can be copied to any directory of your choice, e.g. C:\WINDOWS\WAVEUTIL. For more details, start Windows, load the Windows Help and open the WAVEUTIL.HLP file. If Windows is already running, start the Windows Help and open WAVEUTIL.HLP. You can also start the Windows Help from the DOS prompt. Assuming that WAVEUTIL.HLP is located in the WINDOWS\WAVEUTIL directory on drive c, simply enter this command at the DOS prompt: WINHELP C:\WINDOWS\WAVEUTIL\WAVEUTIL.HLP If WAVEUTIL.HLP is not in the above directory, just replace it with the correct directory. 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� Are The Wave Utilities Freeware Or Shareware Or What? 컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴컴� The Wave Utilities are released as Shareware. This means that you can use them for two weeks without any restrictions, but after that period you must either register or delete them. When you register, you will receive a unique Personal Registration Code (PRC). With this PRC you can turn the Shareware Versions of Looper and Player into registered versions. But that's not all: Since we both don't like the update strategies of the big software companies, we're having our own. Once you're a registered customer, ALL future updates are free for you. Just download the latest version, enter your PRC and you have the latest, registered version. The registration fee is only $15 (U.S. funds) when you send cash and $18 (U.S. funds) if you prefer to send a cheque (this is only to cover the fee for cashing the cheque). If you send a cheque, please make it payable to either one of us but not to TASsoft! To register, simply search for the registration form in The Wave Utilities help file and click the Print button to print it (You can also print the file REGISTER.FRM which is included in this archive).
