------------------------------------------------

IMPORTANT:  See the installation notes below before installing MultiPlay.


Welcome to MultiPlay '97.

	MultiPlay is capable of playing any file for which you have a
Windows MCI driver installed.  Even the most basic Windows 95 or NT system
will normally include MCI drivers for .AVI, .MID, and .WAV files.  In 
addition, systems with ActiveMovie for Windows installed usually have MCI
drivers for the MPEG format.  MultiPlay will work with most MCI drivers.

To see which MCI drivers you have installed:

	1. Click 'Start', 'Settings', 'Control Panel'.
	2. Double-click the Multimedia icon.
	3. Click the 'Advanced' tab.
	4. Click the '+' next to Media Control Devices.

This list shows all of the MCI devices you have installed.  (Keep in mind
that not all of these devices can necessarily be opened by MultiPlay.)


INSTALLATION
------------
NOTE: If you have a previous version of MultiPlay installed, YOU MUST
      REMOVE IT before installing MultiPlay '97 2.0!  Use the Add/Remove
      Programs icon in Control Panel to remove MultiPlay.  It may say that
      it was unable to remove all components, however this is normal.
      Once the older version of MultiPlay is removed, continue as shown
      below.

To install MultiPlay, simply run SETUP.EXE.  The necessary files will be
installed and an icon will be created on your Start Menu.


USING MULTIPLAY
---------------
MultiPlay's interface is fairly straightforward.  So straightforward,
in fact, that you'll probably learn to use it faster than reading any
instructions I give you!


COMMENTS/BUG REPORTS
--------------------
For now, MultiPlay is being distributed as freeware.

VERSION HISTORY
---------------

1.0.0 - Initial release.

1.0.1 - Cosmetic changes.
      - The initial release had some problems installing on some systems;
        these have been resolved (hopefully).

2.0.0 - Lots of stuff!
      - More efficient code, smaller .EXE size all around.
      - Playlists can now be saved and opened for later use.
      - There is now a configurable delay between files in the
        playlist, useful when using MultiPlay to playback files
        onto tape, where a small pause is needed between files.
      - Random Play mode has been implemented, which will
        play files from the playlist in no particular order.
      - Up/Down arrows have been added to the Playlist mode.
        This allows you to move individual files up or down
        within the Playlist.
      - A Delete option has been added, which, when in Non-
        Playlist mode allows you to delete those files you just
        can't STAND to listen to.
      - You can now double-click the file list to individually
        add files to the Playlist without having to use the ">"
        button.
      - Finally, the current file's length is now reported by
        MultiPlay in minutes:seconds format, along with the size.
