If this is your first installation of AudioClips, please use the Windows
installation procedure described in the manual. If you have a previous
AudioClips product installed, read on...

These .WAV files are compressed with a special audio compression 
utility which achieves efficiencies far superior to conventional 
compression.
For those who may have a previously installed version of AudioClips, a 
batch file is provided on the disk (DECOMP. BAT) to automate
decompression and installation of the Audioclips sound files only.
Simply type DECOMP <destination drive> and optional drive and path 
if you do not want the files copied to \WHOOP\SOUNDS.
(Be sure to run the batch file from the install disk!)
Example:
 DECOMP C:    - this will install the files onto your C: drive, in the
                directory \WHOOP\SOUNDS that was created by your 
                original AudioClips(tm) install, assuming you used
                the default install directory.

To install to a different drive or path:
Example:
 DECOMP D: \NEWPATH\SOUNDS  - this will install the files onto your
                              D: drive, in the directory NEWPATH\SOUNDS,
                              or whatever directory you designate in the 
                              path. 
LEAVE A SPACE BETWEEN THE DRIVE LETTER AND THE PATH!

For those who may want to decompress single files, the syntax for invoking 
SONARCX.EXE is:

 SONARCX <compressed-file> [<decompressed-file>]

 The <compressed-file> requires the extension, if any.  If it
 is not in the current directory, then the full path needed to
 reach the file from the current directory is also required.

 The <decompressed-file> is optional.  If it is omitted, then
 the path and name of the output, decompressed file will be
 taken from the path and root name of the compressed file.
 In either case, the extension will be .WAV.
