MiniWAV  v1.0 - 16-bit WAV player for Windows 3.1x
----------------------------------------------------------

Description:
------------------
Adds three small audio control buttons (play, stop, rewind) 
and three application control buttons (mode, minimize, 
exit) to the Windows desktop. 

Starts playback of a wave file if the name of the file is given as 
a command line argument. 

If no file name is given as a command line argument, a file open 
dialog is displayed.

Floats on top of other windows on the desktop, is movable.  

Can save files (use the pop up menu activated by pressing the right mouse
button above the button bar), and load files. 

Very useful with a web browser, and as an associated viewer in Windows
Explorer.

Installation:
-------------
Copy the file ctl3dv2.dll to your Windows\system directory and the file
miniwav.exe to the directory of your choice. Create a new program item for 
MiniWAV.exe into one of the groups in Program Manager (e.g. startup).


Registered vs. unregistered
---------------------------
- The registered version of the program uses an INI file to save the location
  of the program window every time the program shuts down. So, the program
  'remembers' it's previous location.
- A mixer (volume control) application can also be specified in the INI file 
  of the registered version. The mixer is started from the track selection 
  pop up menu.
- Of course, there is no message box appearing at the end
  of the program.
- If you use the program beyond a 30 day trial period, you must register. There
  is more information on registering and registration benefits in the file
  REGISTER.TXT.


Also available:
---------------
- as a 32-bit version for Windows 95/NT.
- Don't forget to check out the original MiniAPP, MiniCD 1.5!!!! It's
  available e.g. at ftp.winsite.com as minicd15.zip.
