- Use WPLANY, not WHAM. WHAM will work, but it does require manual intervention
- to convert the files to 8-bit and play them. At least, I have not found any
- way to have WHAM play them automatically. WPLANY, on the other hand does just
- that. It does not have the ability to modify the .WAV file that WHAM has;
- it is just a player.
-
- That said, does your speaker driver play .WAV files for Windows events? If not,
- you may not have the speaker properly installed.
-
- If it does play for Windows events, the driver is installed properly. The
- problem then probably lies in your MOSAIC.INI file. The attached is a copy
- of my MOSAIC.INI, showing only the pertinent settings:
-
-
- [Viewers]
- type8="audio/basic"
- audio/basic="p:\mosaic\wplany.exe %ls"
-
- [Suffixes]
- audio/basic=.au,.AU,.aud,.AUD
-
-
- It is IMPERATIVE that you use AUDIO/BASIC, not AUDIO/WAVE or anything
- else. The file type is set by the server that is supplying you the
- file, not by the client software. I and about a dozen others (those that
- posted, there were probably a lot more) made the same mistake.
-
- If Mosaic is loading WHAM, then Mosaic is already set up correctly and you
- can just substitute WPLANY for WHAM in MOSAIC.INI.
-
- BTW, you can use WPLANY outside of Mosaic to play sound files in Windows
- that you have downloaded from an FTP site or whatever. Simply open the
- Windows File Manager and associate the .WAV extension with WPLANY. From
- then on, simply double-click on the .WAV file.

- Here is my problem...
-
- I have winsock installed on my pc, I am using goslip as a dialer and to change
- the communications parameters of my server. I can request 'slip' services
- from the server - but then nothing seems to work. I have winftp and wsatest,
- and a bunch of other programs for winsock, but known of them will access the
- server. I am looking for any help? It also seems that once SLIP is requested
- tcpman and my modem no longer communicate (supra 14.4v.32bis).
- Also what is winsock looking for when it asks for a name server and
- a domain suffix.
-
- Thanks for the help.
