                        Sound Support in the OS/2 Version


     To support sound in the  OS/2 version, GoldED requires the  MMPM/2,
     the OS/2 MultiMedia Presentation Manager to be installed.

     GoldED  sends  commands  to  MMPM/2  using  the  mciSendString  API
     function. Basically it send the following commands to play a  sound
     file:

        open <filename> alias noise wait
        seek noise to start
        play noise
        (do other things until playing is complete)
        close noise wait

     These commands  require that  there is  an association  between the
     sound file and the appropriate sound device (typically waveaudio or
     sequencer). If you can't seem  to get GoldED/2 to play  your files,
     you should check  in the Multimedia  Setup if the  Association tabs
     under Digital Audio and MIDI look correct.

     It works perfectly here. If  GoldED/2 doesn't play your files,  you
     have   a   setup   problem   somewhere.   Try   if  entering  "PLAY
     FILE=<soundfile>" at the OS/2  commandline works. The REXX  program
     PLAY.CMD  sends  commands  to  MMPM/2  in  almost  the  same way as
     GoldED/2.

     If you are trying to make  GoldED/2 play .VOC files and it  doesn't
     work, convert them to .WAV and try again.
