-Introduction
-------------
-
-Welcome to the Digital Audio Processor, otherwise known as DAP. This program
-was originally produced as my final year project for a degree in Computer
-Science at Heriot-Watt University, near Edinburgh in Scotland. Since then I
-have been changing and improving DAP, attempting to make it the best sample
-editor and processor available on the UNIX platform. It still has a long way to
-go though !! 
-
-The original reason for producing this program was the apallingly basic (but I
-suppose functional) "SoundEditor" bundled with IRIX 5.3 which is far too basic
-given the advanced nature of the Silicon Graphics audio facilities. 
-
-What is DAP ?
--------------
-
-DAP is a comprehensive audio sample editing and processing suite. DAP currently
-supports AIFF and AIFF-C audio files, 8 or 16 bit resolution and 1, 2 or 4
-channels of audio data. Note however that compressed AIFF-C files are not
-currently supported, only non-compressed AIFF-C files.
+DAP is a comprehensive audio sample editing and processing suite. DAP
+currently supports AIFF, AIFF-C, WAV and RAW audio files, 8 or 16 bit
+resolution and 1, 2 or 4 channels of audio data. Note however that compressed
+AIFF-C files are not currently supported, only non-compressed AIFF-C files.
 
 The package itself offers comprehensive editing, playback and recording
 facilities including full time stretch resampling, manual data editing and a
 reasonably complete DSP processing suite. Note however that time stretching
 does not currently work on Solaris (still trying to debug !!).
 
-How much does it cost ?
------------------------
-
-Well out of the goodness of my heart (cue violins) I've given you DAP for free
-- that's right for absolutely nothing - including the source code. Yes, this is
-uncrippled, unrestricted freeware. However to ensure continuing development on
-DAP please feel free to send me some hard earned cash as a donation :) Either
-that or just send me a postcard from wherever you happen to be at the time !!
-
-Using DAP with sox
-------------------
-
 For compatibility with sox, the popular audio conversion tool, the "Sox
 Compatible" preference must be switched on in DAP. Switching this option on
-simply tells DAP not to save copyright strings when saving AIFF files. This is
-necessary as the current version of sox is rather buggy and doesn't like
-copyright strings for AIFF files as the header contains a non-alphabetic
-character (braces).
-
-Requirements
-------------
-
-To run DAP you must have the latest release version of xforms (0.88) installed
-on your system. Basically the shared object library libforms.so.0.88 must be
-somewhere in your LD_LIBRARY_PATH. See http://bragg.phys.uwm.edu/xform for
-further details on xforms. 
-
-For Linux, NetBSD and Solaris you will also require the Open Sound System (OSS)
-audio drivers to be installed properly. These drivers are normally supplied
-with Linux but NetBSD and Solaris users will have to install them manually. The
-older VoxWare drivers(upon which the OSS drivers are based) may also work but
-are untested.
-
-Note that I haven't actually managed to get any actual sound in to or out of a
-Solaris machine yet - let me know if it works for you !!
-
-See http://personal.eunet.fi/pp/voxware for further details on OSS.
-
-Compilation and Installation
-----------------------------
-
-For details on compilation and installation check out the INSTALL file
-contained in this directory.
-
-And finally
------------
-
-Please send me comments and feedback, whether you think the program is good or
-a load of cobblers. Bug reports, suggestions, criticisms and general banter are
-just as welcomed as are any hard cash donations to entice me to continue
-development on DAP (address given later) :)
-
-So that's it, no instruction manual or help file (yet). A fair chunk of the
-program is self explanatory, the rest can all be worked out with
-experimentation. If there are any features you don't follow then just give me
-an email and I'll attempt to explain my thinking !!
-
-Oh, and not all the effects are functional yet - you'll get a lovely "Please
-Register" prompt if the effect you are trying to execute is not available.
-Ignore this prompt - it was just to look good for the demo to my project
-supervisor - there is no registration !! The only effects not working at the
-moment are gated reverberation and equalization. I will get around to finishing
-these one day. I will....
-
-Enjoy, and hope to hear from you all real soon....

+simply tells DAP not to save any strings when saving AIFF files. This is
+necessary as the current version of sox is rather buggy and doesn't like odd
+length strings. I'm gonna try and check in a fix to sox but for now if you have
+any problems converting using sox switch this option on.
