-
- C. Program notes
- ----------------
-
- 1. To improve execution speed, WaveGen does not perform any stack
- checking. Sufficient resources must be available to run WaveGen.
-
- 2. To uninstall, simply delete the WaveGen directory (default C:\WAVGEN11)
- and delete the file WAVEGEN.INI in the default WINDOWS directory. No
- other files will be effected. If you have registered, make sure you
- keep a copy of your registration notification which contains your user
- ID and validation key.
-
- 3. WaveGen v1.1 has been successfully tested on Windows NT 3.5 and
- Windows 95 beta.
-
-
- D. Known limitations
- --------------------
-
- 1. Norton Desktop for Windows ver 3.0+
- Using Delete or Rename from File Assist when in an open or
- save dialog results in a general protection fault. Not quite
- sure why this happens and have not been able to correct it.
-
- 2. Slow execution when generating
- Without a co-processor, a 386 or 486SX may take a long
- time to generate waves. This is particularly so when creating
- 44khz/16 bit tone sequences. In these situations, use 8khz/8 bit
- while experimenting, then use the higher resolution for your
- final generation.
-
- 3. Slow video redraw
- Some combinations of video cards/drivers and slower machines
- may result in very slow redraws in the wave display window.
- This also occurs if your disk drive is sluggish. Consider
- a graphics accelerator card.
-
- 4. Windows PCM (RIFF) file format
- WaveGen can read only the simplest sub-set of the RIFF file
- format. WaveGen will not read wave files with additional
- info chunks, cue points, play lists, etc. To import these files,
- use a wave editor to strip out these fields.
