Wave after Wave 2.5 for Windows is a shareware program to play wave and MIDI files. Wave after Wave 2.5 requires Windows 3.1 and a sound driver. It's written in Turbo Pascal for Windows for anyone who is interested. 2.0 changes Wave After Wave now plays MIDI files as easy as wave files, you can even play CD Audio tracks from your CD-ROM drive. As in version 1.5 you must have the proper sound hardware and drivers to play wave, MIDI, and CD Audio. 2.02 changes Added Random feature 2.5 changes Adds Play List - Play List let you specify which files to play in the order that you want and from the directories that you want. For best results copy the files in WavAWav.Zip into your Windows directory, or wherever you keep most of your .WAV files. Use the Program Manager FILE|NEW menu command and choose Program Item to create an icon for WavAWav.EXE. I got tired of doing the FILE|OPEN thing, over and over every time I downloaded more wave and MIDI files. Now I have a directory called NewWave where I put all the new wave files that I've downloaded. Then I run Wave after Wave and press the AUTO PLAY Button that plays all the wave files in the selected directory starting at the top or at the currently selected file. You can play individual wave or MIDI files by pressing the PLAY button or by double clicking on the file name in the list box. Wave after Wave 2.5 also supports Windows 3.1's drag and drop features. You can drag wave files from the File Manager onto Wave after Wave's running icon or window and they will be played. You may also want to associate the ".WAV" file extension with WavAWav.EXE. Then when you double click on .WAV or .MID files in the File Manager Wave after Wave will automatically play that file. See your Windows manuals for help on associating file extensions or on-line help. You may distribute this program however you like, as long as you don't make any money from it or change it in anyway. This file MUST accompany the program file.
