What do the Wave Utilities consist of?
--------------------------------------
The Wave Utilities 1.0 consist of Looper and Player, two Windows 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
greater than half of your installed physical memory (not the virtual memory
Windows provides). 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 simple sound player for Microsoft Windows 3.1 or higher. It can
handle all the types and formats of Wave files that your sound card is
capable playing of. You are now able to play Wave files by simply double
clicking on 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. Once you installed Player, launching a .WAV document from the
File Manager will simply 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. Double-clicking their icons will then
play them.
What software and hardware requirements do they have ?
------------------------------------------------------
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 Megabyte of
RAM and a sound card that is capable of playing back digitized sounds (such
as a Sound Blaster card).
Are they Freeware or Shareware or what?
---------------------------------------
The Wave Utilities are released as Shareware. This means that you can use
them for 2 weeks without any restrictions, but after that period you must
either register or delete them. When you register, you will receive the
latest versions of the software that do not contain the registration
reminders plus you will get a lot of Waveformat audio files to use with
Looper and Player for free.
The registration fee is $10 (U.S funds). To register, print out the file
REGISTER.FRM, fill it out, put it together with the $10 into an envelope
and send it back to us. You can send it to one of these addresses:
1) TASsoft 2) TASsoft
