WAVEPLAYER.PRG/TTP are provided to demonstrate how 
to use the DMA sound hardware of the STE and TT 
computers.

The source code provided is not public domain. It 
has been provided to allow you to understand how a 
Microsoft Corporation WAVE file is defined and what 
is needed to play these files on Atari computers.

You may incorporate parts of this code in your own 
programs providing you acknowledge the source of 
those routines via either 1) a comment at the 
beginning of the module that contains the code, or 
2) an acknowledgement displayed at startup.

To use WAVEPLAYER place it in the desired directory,
select WAVEPLAYER.PRG. Next select INSTALL APPLICATION
from the desktop Options menu. Set the file extender 
to WAV, and select OK.

Alternately you may supply a file name as the first
argument on a command line. Or you may run WAVEPLAYER
without any arguments, which will cause WAVEPLAYER to
accept the filenames from standard input. This allows
the following under the Mark Williams Shell:

            ls *.wav | waveplayer

WAVEPLAYER does not understand wildcard characters in 
file names. So the following will produce undesired
results:
            waveplayer *.wav

Caveats:
  Waveplayer has not been tested with 8 bit stereo wave files.
  Waveplayer has not been tested with 16 bit stereo wave files.
  Waveplayer will work with MiNT and Multi-TOS but multi-tasking
    is suspended while PLAYING (not reading, or resampling) a WAVe
    sample.

If you come across a WAVE file with one of these formats and it 
does work please let me know.

Support:
  If you come across a WAVE file that does not work and it
  is on either GEnie or COMPUSERVE please mail the name of the
  file and the roundtable I can retrieve it from. If the file
  is one of your own please uuencode the file and mail it to
  me at either:

    B.GRIER        on GEnie
    bjgrier@bnr.ca on internet
