The Sound Compression Software is the small program that will turn industry-standard .AIFF
(Macintosh and Amiga), .SD (Sound Designer I) or .WAV (Windows) sound files into a set of ROM-sized files
which can then be loaded into memory chips for installation in AB/DR-3000 Digital Audio Repeaters.
The software package consists of several small programs which, as of this writing, will run only under
MicrosoftÕs Windows. These can be copied directly to your hard disk. The programs are:
a) SNDCOMP.EXE = The main sound compression program
b) GILDCONV.DLL = Sub-program called by SNDCOMP.EXE to actually do the work
c) SNDLABLE.EXE = Program which can be used to print labels for Eproms
If you make the two .EXE programs accessible from your Windows desktop, included icons will appear
for them.
The Sound Compression program has but one window. If you place the mouse over any command
for more than a short moment, a ÔhelpÕ balloon will appear for that command. On this window is a list of
the sound files you want to compress. The three buttons are used to add or remove sound files to this
list, or to start the compression process. These all act upon the list of sounds to be put into a single set of
Eproms which are to be generated. Typically this set of EPROM files will be burnt into Eproms to be used
on a single AB/DR-3000 Digital Audio Repeater.
The three commands which are available to you are:
Add: This command is opens a standard Windows Ôfile openÕ dialog which allows you to select
sound files to add to list of sounds to be compressed for a repeater:
