Wave Manager Installation
(This program requires VBRUN300.DLL, which is NOT included.)
Make a directory for WAVMAN.
Put WAVMAN.EXE, WAVMAN.DLL, HSLINFO.WRI, and HSLCAT.WRI in the
WAVMAN directory.
Put WAVTHING.DLL, THREED.VBX, and VBRUN300.DLL (not included) in
your \WINDOWS\SYSTEM directory. Note: Even if you already have
THREED.VBX, please use the one included here - its the latest
update (as of 10/10/93) directly from Sheridan.
If your sound card (and driver) supports Microsoft's ADPCM Wave
format, you can run WAVMAN.EXE (or your own player) and began
playing the sounds "as is".
HOWEVER, MOST SOUND CARDS DO NOT DIRECTLY SUPPORT ADPCM. For
those cards you'll have to use WAVMAN to convert the ADPCM files
to "normal" PCM wave files.
To convert the files using WAVMAN, click on the file that you
want to covert (hold down the CTRL key while clicking to select
multiple files). After selecting the files, click on the
"Convert to PCM" button". You will then be able to choose to
convert the files to 8 bit or 16 bit quality, and browse
directories to choose the destination directory for the
converted files.
NOTE: We normally supply 44k stereo files, but these require
conversion or "downgrading" to work with low end sound cards,
like the Sound Blaster. To keeps things nice and simple for this
demo, the sample files are 22k mono, except for two files that
are 22k stereo.
