SoX
---

This file contains information specific to the Win32 version of SoX.
Please refer to the README file for general information.

The binary SOX.EXE can be installed anywhere you desire.  The only
restriction is that the included CYGWIN1.DLL must be located in the
same directory as SOX.EXE or somewhere within your PATH.

SoX Helper Applications
-----------------------

SoX also includes support for SOXI.EXE, PLAY.EXE and REC.EXE and their
behaviors are documented in includes PDF's.  They have the same
install restrictions as SOX.EXE.

PLAY.EXE and REC.EXE are not distributed with this package to reduce
size requirements. They are, in fact, only copies of the original
SOX.EXE binary which changes SOX.EXE's behavior based on the
executable's filename.

If you wish to make use of these utils then you can create them
yourself.

copy sox.exe play.exe
copy sox.exe rec.exe

If you are concerned with disk space, the play and record
functionality can be equated using the "-d" option with SOX.EXE.  The
rough syntax is:

play: sox [input files and options] -d [effects]
rec: sox -d [output file and options] [effects]

wget
----

SoX can make use of the wget command line utility to load files over
the internet.  A binary copy of wget has been included with this
package of SoX for your convience.

For SoX to make use of wget, it must be located either in your PATH or
within the same directory that SoX is ran from.

Custom configuration of wget can be made by editing the file wget.ini
contained in the same directory as wget.exe.

Please consult wget's homepage for access to source code as well as
further instructions on configuring.
