In Winsound, you need to write in the extention of the file as part of
the name. If you want a file called test5.wav, you need to type
"test5.wav" in the Output File window. Winsound, unlike most other Win
95/98 programs, will not fill in the extension for you. Also, make sure
that the format is set to WAV files, and the size is set to 16 bit (for
a 16-bit soundcard). Nothing is more frustrating than rendering a file
that takes 20 minutes or so, only to find out that somehow the wrong
button got pressed by accident, and the output file is a 32 bit file
that is not playable on most systems, or a file in IRCAM format. I
speak from recent experience here.
