- VERSION DESCRIPTION
- ===================
-
- VERSION 2.2 June 4, 1993
-
- VB Jr 2.2 adds the Autostart, Loop, and Random options, and
- a Repeat option for the registered version which will play
- a wave file without interruptions continuously.
-
- Also now saves the last file type used (.wav or .mid), and
- all the options so that the next time you run VB JR, all
- the previously selected options will be defaults, this
- program is intuitive!
-
- VERSION 2.1 Jan 21, 1993
-
- VB Jr version 2.1 has Borland Custom Controls and grey panel
- added for a more pleasing look and control. Added Drag Drop
- support.
-
- Also, there are some minor bug fixes and document changes.
- Added access to Help by pressing the F1 key.
-
- VERSION 2.0 July 28, 1992
-
- VB Jr version 2.0 was developed to work with the Multimedia
- extensions that are part of Windows 3.1. The advantages are
- many, including automatic support for any audio card which
- has the Multimedia Drivers. Since the multimedia standard
- digital waveform file is .WAV, this is the file used for the
- unregistered version of VB Jr 2.0. The registered version
- will support the .VOC waveform files.
-
- VERSION 1.0 December 12, 1991
-
- Version 1.0 of VB Jr was written for Windows 3.0. This
- version uses a Windows 3.0 DLL called "SNDBLST.DLL" written
- by Creative Labs. This DLL is not compatible with the
- Windows Multimedia Extensions, and should only be used for
- Windows 3.0. If you do not wish to upgrade to Window 3.1,
- then register for VB Sr and specify the Windows 3.0 version.
- There has been reported problems with using the "SNDBLST.DLL"
- with the Audio Vision Thunder card. It is strongly
- recommended you upgrade to Windows 3.1 and use the latest VB
- Programs available today.
