QIKWAV -- Quick Windows Waveform File Playback

When you're browsing through your files (trying to find a file whose
name or directory you forgot, deciding which files you should discard,
or just trying to organize the whole mess), you want tools that quickly
tell you the *contents* of your files.  That's why most third-party file
manager programs come with a file viewer that's automatically activated
when you click on a file name.  But when you're browsing through WAV
files you need to *hear* the contents of the file.

Of course, you can double-click the file name, which will pass it to
the Sound Recorder utility.  Now, Sound Recorder isn't terribly
complicated, but we're still talking several steps (double click the
file name, wait for the program to appear, click the play button,
double click the Sound Recorder system box) just to hear a sound clip
that's maybe 2 seconds long.  Not a problem with just a few files, but
suppose you've just downloaded 100 WAV files and you're browsing through
them, trying to decide which ones to keep?  Even a few steps saved
add up when you have to do them over and over.

QIKWAV is cuts this procedure down to one step.  QIKWAV is
designed to be associated with the WAV file extension, so all you have
to do is double-click a filename and QIKWAV will play it for you.

The QIKWAV package consists of three files:

	0-README.TXT  -- you're reading it.
	QIKWAV.C      -- program source code.
	QIKWAV.EXE    -- Windows executable file.

Installation is simple:

1. Copy QIKWAV.EXE to your Windows directory or some other directory
   on your path.

2. Associate the WAV extension with QIKWAV.EXE.  One way to do this
   is with the File Manager:  in the "File" menu, select the "Associate"
   command.

Usage is even simpler:  just execute a WAV file.  With the mouse, double-
click the file name.  With the keyboard, select the file name and press
the ENTER key.
