Specifications
--------------
	WaveSurgeon has been tested on Cyrix 6x86, Intel Pentium, and 486 
(down to dx-50) class machines. It is *Windows 95* ONLY! You also need a 
soundcard. You will get best results with a Creative Labs SoundBlaster 32
/AWE-32/AWE-64/AWE-64 Gold with on board sample memory. However, WaveSurgeon
SoundFont 2.0 banks can be converted to other soundcards (eg. Turtle Beach 
has been tested - thanks Kent!) using a program called AWave. You can also
get good results on soundcards without sample memory - just split the file
into Wave files, and load the files into a 'wave player' style program.

	To use the midi files, you should have a program similar to 
Steinberg`s Cubase/Cubasis, Emagic`s (Micro)Logic, TwelveTone`s Cakewalk, or
Evolution Audio. 

------------
Restrictions
------------
	This is a RESTRICTED version of WaveSurgeon. To get all the features, 
you must register. In this version, you cannot:

		Save Midi templates;
		Save SoundFont Files;
		Hide Slice Icons;
		Import Stereo Files;

...and you also get annoying reminder boxes.
