About WaveRave 1.5 from Westmarch Development Corporation
---------------------------------------------------------
WaveRave 1.5 is the ultimate Multimedia .WAV player. Finally,
you can have instant play of any .WAV sound file in the Windows
Multimedia environment. Tired of loading a .WAV file and playing
it only to find that it is too big? And are you tired of the
delay between loading, playing, and loading another .WAV file?
Now, you can have your entire collection of .WAV files saved in
any configuration. Up to 144 individual .WAV files can be
assigned to their own buttons. And they will play instantly when
you click on the button. Each array of these buttons can be
saved in matrix configurations for instant access so that you can
have every sound file you own ready to play.
WaveRave 1.5 is a multimedia sound tool which functions much like
a professional audio sound player or sampler. Listening to large
numbers of multimedia sounds with conventional sound tools can be
a tedious task, but using the Westmarch team's breakthrough
technology, WaveRave 1.5, allows as many as 144 sound files to be
loaded simultaneously. Playback is as instantaneous and simple
as a mouse click.
WaveRave 1.5 plays files with names having an extension of .WAV.
These are called "Wave Files." WaveRave 1.5 comes with many
features that make it more powerful than other Wave File players.
WaveRave 1.5 supports the RIFF file standard and allows the you
to view the extra information in Wave Files. It also has an
intuitive user interface and allows you to play many Wave Files
in sequence for sound effects. You can assign each sound to it's
own 'virtual' button on the screen. Playback is accomplished
using a mouse to point and click the button. Buttons can have a
color tag for instant recognition, and labels provide positive
identification of the sounds. You can also create, load and
store groups of sounds. Green and red LED's indicate which
button is selected and playing. WaveRave 1.5 can create just a
few of these special buttons or fill the screen, at your option.

About Shareware
---------------
Shareware can be defined as a "try before you buy" market. Over
the past years, shareware has grown from an "out of the basement"
market to a large and very reliable software distribution method.
It provides users with high quality software at an affordable
price. However, to continue this effort, software authors must
be supported. Also, the software is copyrighted and can not be
used legally after the trial period. Use after the trial period
requires registration. WaveRave 1.5 is a shareware product.
WaveRave 1.5 must be registered after the trial evaluation
period. Copyright laws apply to shareware software products, and
the copyright holder retains all rights, with a few specific
exceptions as stated in the license and copyright section of the
software. WaveRave 1.5 software includes the executable, the
help file(s), and other related collections of information (see
"Copyright and License"). The author specifically grants the
right to copy and distribute the software, either to all or to a
specific group. For example, some authors require written
permission before a commercial disk vendor may copy their
shareware products. Refer to the Copyright and License section
for a complete copy of the WaveRave 1.5 copyright and license
agreement. Shareware is a distribution method, not a type of
software. You should find software that suits your needs and
pocketbook, whether it is commercial or shareware. The shareware
system makes fitting your needs easier, because you can try
before you buy. And because the overhead is low, prices are low
also. Shareware has the ultimate money-back guarantee -- if you
do not use the product, you do not pay for it. Therefor, if you
enjoy using WaveRave 1.5, and wish to continue using it after the
trial period, you must register it.
