ABOUT BACKPLAY
--------------
BackPlay works in conjunction with NED Player 2.1, CAB and a 
multitasking o/s such as MagiC or MultiTOS to allow sound samples
to be played instantly with no windows etc.
This is ideal for using with CAB (unlike other sample players that 
either display windows or write text to the screen). Using BackPlay 
and NED Player 2.1 is an ideal way to listen to those samples on web 
pages!

All backplay does is pass the filename passed to it (from cab etc) 
onto N_PLAYER.APP pefixing it with -w (play once no window).


INSTALLATION
------------
1. Copy BACKPLAY.PRG into the SAME folder as N_PLAYER.APP.
2. Run CAB:
   (a) Set the external viewer for any sample types that NED Player 
       supports ie. .wav, .au etc. to point to BACKPLAY.PRG (VA Start is 
       NOT supported).
3. That's it. Now when CAB encounters a .wav file it plays seamlessly.

CREDITS ETC.
------------
All credit to Petr Sumbera for an absolutely excellent sample 
player!!!! I liked it so much it inspired me to use it with CAB!
