========================================
WaveGate for Windows by PRS Corporation
========================================
(Freeware)


-----------------
Short Description
-----------------

WaveGate can be used either as a stand-alone WAVE player or as
a W.W.Web browser helper application.

You should tell your browser that WaveGate should be invoked
whenever a Mime = Audio/x-wav (or whatever your server sends)
file is received.

WaveGate will automatically play a WAV sound when:
        1) the browser receives a file with a Mime=audio/x-wav header
        2) it is given a filename as an argument;

otherwise, it will present a directory and file list to choose
a sound file interactively.

In case (1) the sound clip will be played even if the file
received or given has an extension <> ".wav" - which does happen!

The program will queue itself in if a sound file is received/given
before another one has finished playing. At the end of play,
the program automatically terminates.

Finally, although the program is automatically reduced to an
icon at start up, it can be restored if one wishes to see or
control the status of the player.
