Introduction

Pulse is a Windows 95/98/NT audio player based on component system (which 
allows programmers to add a new component (e.g. new format loader) just by 
adding the dll library to its directory). The basic version supports many 
audio formats and its design is fully redefinable. The program uses our 
audio and graphics libraries - AudioMate and Outer Visual Engine. For more 
information about these products see the 'Contact' and 'Downloads' sections 
which contain some important www links and addresses. We started developing 
this product in spring/summer 1997. Originally it was only a PMODE-based 
audio library, but we decided to do it again in Windows after our 
programmer's HDD crash (without any backups, ofcourse :-) . Now Pulse 
becomes a stable and very flexible product. Pulse player supports all the 
most popular audio formats, including MPx, CD audio, WAV, XM, IT and many 
more. The Pulse is freeware and has to be distributed with all the files 
that are shipped in the release.
