Features:
--------

- conversion of Sample Dump Standard (SDS) files (8 bit / 16 bit) into 
  PCM Audio files (WAV)


Required Syntax     :  SDS2WAV <SDS-filename>
---------------

1.) SDS2WAV         :  the conversion program
2.) <SDS-filename>  :  the SDS file to be converted into WAV format


Example:  
-------

SDS2WAV organ.sds          :  conversion of organ.sds into a WAV file 
                              called organ.wav

Requirements:
------------

Since this program is compiled with the GNU 386 C++ Compiler which produces
code for the 80386/80486 processors there are some restrictions:

1.) You must have a 80386 / 80486 processor
2.) Since WAV2SDS works in combination with a included DOS Extender the CPU
    must be in real mode (otherwise you'll get an error message)
    This means that you have to remove the EMM386 driver of your autoexec.bat
    (just put a "rem" in front of the line and reboot the system)


Summary:
-------

1.) Get a SDS file (e.g. transferred sysex message from your synthesizer)
2.) Convert it with SDS2WAV
3.) Play the converted file on your soundcard



I hope that my program will work on your PC. I tested it with my equipment
which consists of - 80486 PC
                  - Pro Audio Spectrum 16 (PAS 16) soundcard
                  - Yamaha SY85 synthesizer

Please contact me and tell me if SDS2WAV is useful to you or if you have any
problems with it. (See also my program WAV2SDS)
