- 1.Introduction
-
- PlaySample is a little utility which makes it possible to play 8SVX
- files.
-
- This program can only be run under Kickstart v2.04 or higher and
- uses the locale library if it exists. For the moment, only English and
- French are available.
-
-
- 2.Starting PlaySample
-
- PlaySample can either be started from the Workbench or from the
- Shell.
-
-
- 2.1.Starting from the Workbench
-
- Once PlaySample has been started by clicking twice on its icon, it
- opens a file requester asking for a file to play. If the file chosen
- by the user is a 8SVX file, it is then played.
-
-
- 2.2.Starting from the Shell
-
- The syntax is in this case :
-
- PlaySample [<sample>] [REQ], where :
-
- <sample> is the name of the 8SVX file,
-
- REQ tells PlaySample to display a possible error message in a
- requester and not in the Shell window.
-
-
- 3.Error messages
-
- PlaySample can display the following error messages :
-
- "Can't open intuition library v37" :
