INTRODUCTION
Currently, OS/2 Warp has a peculiar bug: system sounds drop out of seamless 
Win-OS/2 sessions shortly after they have started.  This situation can be 
identified by receiving a "Can't play selected sound" error from the Control 
Panel Sounds applet.  IBM has informed me that this is a known problem (APAR 
PJ16129), and that they "are working on it."  SoundWorks remedies this 
situation until IBM can find the cause and an adequate solution.

INSTALLATION
If you are upgrading from an earlier version, you need to first remove the 
currently installed version and restart Windows.
1.  Start Control Panel in a seamless Win-OS/2 session.  Note that SoundWorks 
    cannot be installed in a full-screen session or under DOS.
2.  Start the "Drivers" applet.
3.  Click the "Add..." button.
4.  Select "Unlisted or Updated Driver" and click "OK".
5.  When prompted for the disk, specify the name of the drive or directory
    containing the bundled files, OEMSETUP.INF and SNDWORKS.DRV, and click 
    "OK".
6.  Select "SoundWorks 1.0a" and click "OK".
7.  Restart Windows.
(Note that Control Panel will modify your Windows' SYSTEM.INI file.)

VERSION HISTORY
1.0a   Bug: Norton Desktop 3.0's Quick Access menu not responding properly
       to right-mouse button in regular Windows.
       Fix: Detect type of Windows session; close immediately if not
       seamless Win-OS/2.

	    modem applications not functioning correctly.
