    If started from Workbench - a FileRequester is poping up, asking
    for an Audio file and then showing all Informations in a Reqeuster.

    If it's used through command line, certain special %-codes are available.



INSTALL

   Simply unpack the archive to anywhere you want.
   I prefer to copy the executable to C:.



REQUIREMENTS

   - OS 2.x
   - CanDo Lib 3.00x
   - minimum of memory (GetAudioInfo reads only the header)



USAGE

    GetAudioInfo FILE/A[,STRING]

    If started from Workbench - a FileRequester is poping up, asking
    for an Audio file and then showing all Informations in a Reqeuster.

    If it's used through command line, certain special %-codes are available:
    The option STRING allows you to define an own output string. The default
    format string is...

      "%n: %C/%B/%F/%L/%U/%T [%f]"

    The format types are:

      %n  name of the file (the filename without path)
      %p  full path including trailing '/' and ':'
          (even, when you didn't provided one)
      %r  relative path including trailing '/'
      %C  sample channels (i.e. 1, 2, 4)
      %B  sample bits (i.e. 8, 12, 16, 24)
      %F  sample frequence (i.e. 44100 Hz)
      %L  sample length (i.e. 2.36 Sec.)
      %U  sample is uncompressed (i.e. TRUE)
      %T  sample compression type (i.e. NONE)
      %f  short format of audio (i.e. AIFF)
      %e  expanded format (i.e. Interchange File Format)
      %d  file date (DD-MMM-YYYY)
      %s  file size (Bytes)
      %c  file comment
      %l  linefeed ($char 10)
      %t  tabulator ($char 9)
