Heavy Cat Multimedia Sounddex Windows version 1.0 Thank you for your interest in Sounddex. This text file contains information on how to install Sounddex, troubleshooting, registration and license information. Sounddex is a fully-functional, shareware file organization program which offers a central index to every Windows-compatible sound data (.wav) file on a computer system. Sounddex keeps track of every file's location in the system with a record of the 'path' or drive, directory and file information of every file added to Sounddex. A label and comments about each file may also be included. Sounddex uses a Microsoft Access-compatible database to record information about each file. The database is contained in the wavdata.mdb and wavdata.ldb files in the 'multidex' directory. Sounddex is shareware and may be freely distributed, provided all the original files are included, including this file.
