- About Steve's Wave Player
- -------------------------
-
- Steve's Wave Player is Freeware. The program is written in Visual Basic
- in a few hours so I see no reason to charge a fee for it. I wrote this
- program so I could have a simple but useful program to play my wave files
- without the restrictions of the Windows Players or some of the shareware
- programs available which were either clumbsy use, filled with Nag messages
- and time delays asking for money, and not really offering enough to justify
- the cost. With Version 1.0 I wasn't sure how much more time I would put into
- this, but it's turning out to be fun and easy, so as time permits I will be
- adding features to it. Latest version will always be available on:
-
- The PowerLine BBS (916)338-3230
-
- I hope you enjoy the program and get some use out of it. Feel free to pass
- along to others and use as you see fit. All I ask is that you leave all
- files and copyright information intact.

- + A sound card or PC speaker driver for windows

-
- Features
- --------
-
- + Provides Drive/File/Directory List Boxes to pick .wav files from
- + Displays only the .wav files in the selected directory
- + Allows you to select multiple .wav files, then play them all with the
- click of one button
- + Stores the last location upon exit, so next time you pick up where
- you left off.
- + Delete Button will delete all marked files after confirm.
- + Stop button will stop playing a group of files after the current
- file is done.
- + If a file "STARTWAV.WAV" is found in the default directory when
- WAVPLYR is started, it will play it. I have included a homemade
- sample...by all means feel free to replace it before it drives you
- nuts. :)
-
- Bugs found in Version 1.0 fixed in Version 1.1
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- + While playing a .WAV file, the system would freeze all other Windows
- tasks until it was done. Version 1.1 now shares resources properly.
-
- + Current playing .WAV file did stay on the screen long enough after
- the last .WAV was started. Corrected in Version 1.1
-
-
- Bugs found in Version 1.1 fixed in Version 1.2
- ----------------------------------------------
-
- + When exiting the program using Close from the control box, the program
- would not free up all it's memory and resources or remove itself from
- the Windows Task List. This has been fixed.
-
- Ideas I have for the next release (Version 2.0)
- -----------------------------------------------
-
- * Selected .WAV files will be listed in a Pick List Box in the order
- they are selected and played in that same order. Currently, the files
- are played in alphabetical order as listed in the File List Box.
-
- * A built in database feature to allow users to enter descriptions of
- the .WAV files.
