PLAYWAV [-VNNN] [-SNNNN] [-K] [-BNNNNN] [-RNNN] <Wave File>
The wave file name must always be last, but optional parameter order is
not important.
PARAMETER EXPLAINATION
[-Volume] - Optional:
The volume, also affect distortion, can be a value from
1 to 500. The default is 10. Example "-V70"
[-Speed] - Optional:
The speed affects the rate at which the file plays.
The default is calibrated to the machine. But, you may specify
a different value between 1 and 1200. Beware, specifying this
value may advance or slow your DOS clock (don't worry, not your
CMOS clock). Example "-S100"
[-K] - Optional:
Disables the check for a keyboard character to stop playing.
This may improve sound quality, in addition to forcing the
user to listen to the whole file. Example "-K"
[-Buffer] - Optional:
Defines the sound buffer size in bytes. Can be a value from 256 to 32255.
The default is 2048. This may also affect sound quality. If the
file is being read from on a slow machine or slow device, increasing
the buffer size may improve the quality by forcing more or all of the file
to be played from RAM. However, consider that if your file is
very large, a large buffer may cause noticable delays between reads
from the file. Multiples of 512 should provide the best performance
for large files. Example "-B4096"
[-Repeat] - Optional:
Instructs the program to repeat the playback of the wave file a
specified number of times. Example "-R3"
<Wave File> - Required:
Microsoft Wave sound file name. Example "F-HELLO.WAV"
This program is intended to be a batch file utility or EXECED from
other programs. It also demonstrates the functionality of the sound
routine and source code you will receive if you register! -- Read on
for how you can register and receive the complete source code for
use in your own programs!!!
This program requires the entire CPU's attention. Therefore, using it
in a "DOS BOX" in windows or in any other potential multi-tasking
situation may result in NOISE. Also, there is a wide variety of PC
speaker hardware. The optimal configuration is the standard 2" dynamic
speaker. Some computers are equipped with a nifty piezo speaker the
size of a gumball. These don't work too well. Their typically found
in notebooks and laptop computers. But, you won't really know how good
it will sound unless you just try it. The DEMO batch file will help.

with your friends and associates. But also be aware of the following
