ANNOUNCING WAVmaker 2.4 (http://www.abc.se/~m9303) - MID to WAV 
rendering and audio FX for Windows 3.1/95/NT - now even better! 
---------------------------------------------------------------
 
WAVmaker 2.3 has been superseded by WAVmaker 2.4. Version 2.4 is a 
FREE upgrade for all registered users of version 2.0-2.3 (Advanced AND 
Standard). Users with an Advanced registration for versions 2.0-2.3 
will still get a free update to the next major release when it becomes 
available. Compliments of Tommy Anderberg!
 
What's new: 
 
- WAV recording has been added.
- WAVmaker now "iconizes" (not quite the same as "minimizes")
  itself, or allows itself to be iconized, when rendering and
  expanding DFTs, its two most time-consuming operations. At last,
  you can set it running in the background and forget about it 
  while it does its thing!
- In the 32 bit build, the restrictions on file names imposed for 
  backward compatibility with Windows 3.1/DOS have been removed. 
  Windows 3.1/95 users: please bear with me, but Windows 95/NT 
  purists have been insisting on this for some time now. Time to 
  make up your mind...?
- The main window now has a "wide" (maximized) mode allowing more
  space for long filenames.
- MID 0 to 1 conversion has been added. Amazingly, some MIDI 
  programs out there only read Level 1, not Level 0!!!!!
- The Maximize function under WAV Edit now allows an offset (user,
  center average or center extrema) to be imposed; amplification
  can be shut off if you are only interested in the offset.
- WAView and PRGed have been updated to reflect the improvements
  in the corresponding Mellosoftron 1.1 objects.
- Various minor, face-lifting changes have been made to the User 
  Interface.
- An obscure bug in mono rendering has been fixed (never reported
  by users - I stumbled on it all by myself - so I guess you won't
  notice...).
- A Print button has been added to the Tutorial window.

Version 2.4 will be distributed the usual way, as a complete file 
set, from WAVmaker's Home Page and major FTP sites. The URL for
WAVmaker's Home Page is http://www.abc.se/~m9303.
 
COMMON SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS:   386+. FPU recommended. High quality 
                              sound card (16 bits/44.1 kHz/stereo) 
                              strongly recommended.
 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (16 BIT): MS Windows 3.1 or higher. 3.6 MB free 
                              hard disk space (10+ MB recommended). 
                              Disk cache (e.g. SMARTDRV.SYS) 
                              recommended. 
 
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS (32 bit): MS Windows 95 or NT. 3.3 MB free disk 
                              space (10+ MB recommended). 
 
If at all possible, use a good amplifier/speaker system (not pitiful 
PC gamer's speakers) to fully enjoy WAVmaker's CD quality output.
 
Enjoy!
