ArtToSpr/WavePlayer/Help/TextHelp/2a-Loading

This website contains an archive of files for the Acorn Electron, BBC Micro, Acorn Archimedes, Commodore 16 and Commodore 64 computers, which Dominic Ford has rescued from his private collection of floppy disks and cassettes.

Some of these files were originally commercial releases in the 1980s and 1990s, but they are now widely available online. I assume that copyright over them is no longer being asserted. If you own the copyright and would like files to be removed, please contact me.

+---------------------------------------------------------------------------+

  To load a sample, firstly double-click on the '!WavePlay' icon, in order to
load Wave Player. Then drag the sample to the Wave Player icon on the icon
bar.

    � If the sample format is unrecognised, or you hold down Control, then
the configuration window appears. (For more details, see '2c-Format', or
'2d-Buffer'.)

    � If you hold down Alt, then the sample will begin paused, as opposed to
playing automatically.

    � If you hold down Shift, and drag a group of files, then a script is
formed. (For more details, see '2fScripts'.)
