Running TrikTraks

After you've saved your datafile (and named it ``data''), exit your word processor.

(If you're using Windows95 or WindowsNT, open up a DOS window.)

Change directory to your TrikTraks directory.

To synthesize the sound, type the following:

tt data

TrikTraks will respond with

sound samples in sound.wav

This means the sound has been successfully created, and the samples are in the soundfile ``sound.wav'', in the same directory as your TrikTraks executable.

Using the Windows FileManager, find the output soundfile on your hard disk (``sound.wav''), and click twice on it. That should open up the Windows MediaPlayer, and with it you should be able to play and hear the soundfile.
