window.

DESCRIPTION
=========== 

Au Player Applet is a freeware Java(tm) applet that plays up to 
five au sound files. Five buttons are displayed on the applet. 
These are play, stop,  loop, next and prev. Clicking on "next" 
sends you to the next track and  clicking on the "loop" button 
plays the sound file continuously. Customizable features include 
changing the sound file and sound description.

  
HTML CODING
===========
  
Place the following code in your HTML file to use this applet:

<!-- begin applet code -->
<applet code=auplay.class id=auplay width=300 height=120>
<param name=no value=5>
<param name=au1 value="effect1.au">
<param name=au2 value="effect2.au">
<param name=au3 value="effect3.au">
<param name=au4 value="effect4.au">
<param name=au5 value="effect5.au">
<param name=au1des value="Sound File 1">
<param name=au2des value="Sound File 2">
<param name=au3des value="Sound File 3">
<param name=au4des value="Sound File 4">
<param name=au5des value="Sound File 5">
</applet>
<!-- end applet code -->

Note: If no parameters are entered for descriptions, then 
default values will be given. These are shown in the HTML code 
above. Make sure you enter the name of the sound file exactly. 
File descriptions are displayed on the applet and should be not 
more than 22 characters. Sound files should be placed in the 
same directory as the html document that contains the applet.
  
  
PARAMETER DESCRIPTION
=====================
  
Values for parameters can be changed to customize the applet. 
Following is a list of parameter names and what they do:

no	- number of sound files to be played (default=1)
au1	- name of first sound file
au2	- name of second sound file
au3	- name of third sound file
au4	- name of fourth sound file
au5	- name of fifth sound file
au1des	- description of first sound file
au2des	- description of second sound file
au3des	- description of third sound file
au4des	- description of fourth sound file
au5des	- description of fifth sound file


USING APPLET ON YOUR OWN SITE
=============================
  
To use Au Player Applet on your own site you must first
create a html document which references the applet. This code
can be found in this readme under the "HTML CODING" title.
The html document and the applet class file should then be 
uploaded in "ASCII" and "BINARY" modes respectively. A link
back to my site would be much appreciated.
