What is SpkQQ? What does it do? ********************************************
SpkQQ is device driver to play *.WAV files on Windows. It reproduces
sound using the internal speaker available on most personal computers. Thus,
it will allow computers without a sound board (e.g. notebooks) to play *.WAV
files.
Furthermore, it will act as a multimedia driver and will play *.WAV files
from most applications such as games.
SpkQQ is a shareware. You are able to evaluate the product for 1 week.
After that time, the program will cease to run. If you like the product,
please submit a payment from the CompuServe SWREG.
SWREG number: 3999

You will be able to move your mouse pointer while *.WAV files are
being replayed. Furthermore, the program support RS-232C interrupts
so you will even be able to play sound files while sending mail.
2. Support over sampling.
SpkQQ is able to calculate your system performance and readjust the
*.WAV sampling rate. If you set SpkQQ to replay at a high sampling
rate, it is possible to (depends on your system performance) replay
at a higher sampling rate than when the sound was originally recorded.

system is able to provide high performance.
