No...files I created and then plugged into the dialog fields <myfile.wav>,
etc.

Well, I have been in radio and TV production a long time myself...use
SAWStudio on my Desktop, and various other programs.  I am not a novice at
working with .wav files and audio.

Since I am also seeing underlined characters on the screen (2 places) that
others are not, I'm wondering if it might be in the v10.43f I have...or
maybe even the runtime.dll version.

Once again, these are created .wav files, not contest recordings.

Sorry, that is not the case.  I think just more frustration when I
experience multiple problems with a program which has been in existence
for some time.

Sorry, but if you knew the HORROR show I've had with email including
100,000 plus forgeries of one of my own domains and all the rejects,
believe me, you would take "drastic" action too.  mail to:
writelog at contesting.com reaches me, although for some reason, Wayne's
usually ends up in one of my virus filter folders on the Unix.

Personally, I believe Forum Board formats like Invision Board, PHPBB are
more "state of the art" for things like online tech support, etc. with software
because there can be numerous categories established.  In fact, I've set
several up myself PHP/MySQL myself and they are what most major software
vendors use for servicing customers in these modern times.

Once again, it might be v10.43f and whatever runtime.dll combo that is
part of the problem here...I dunno.
