INTRODUCTION:

This Frontend was created a long time ago by Wim Speekenbrink in Visual Basic. It is outdated in many ways now and is no longer
supported, however it can still be very useful if you're not comfortable using the command line. It is provided "as-is".

INSTALLATION:

- Unzip this archive and copy the latest WavPack executables for your platform (either 32-bit or 64-bit) into the resulting folder
  (wavpack.exe, wvunpack.exe, wvselfx.exe).

- Run WavPack frontend.exe.

If you get an error when you try to run WavPack frontend you might need to do something else, depending on the error message: 

- Visual Basic 6 Runtime files. Get it here: http://download.microsoft.com/download/vb60pro/Redist/sp5/WIN98Me/EN-US/vbrun60sp5.exe

- If you get a message about MSCOMCTL.OCX or TABCTL32.OCX, then you might need to run the Frontend as administrator once, or you might
  need to change the security permissions of those files (they are included in the archive) or you might need to register them with
  "regsvr32" depending on your system configuration. There's lots of information online about these files.

USAGE:

- Drag and drop files from Windows Explorer into the WavPack frontend window or press the "Add files" button and put files on the list
  with the "Open" dialog.

- Select the Lossless, Hybrid or Unpack tab and the options you want to use. There's a box for "Extra options". This is only for
  WavPack options that are not mentioned on the frontend. The extra options should be typed exactly like they would be typed on the
  command line.

- Select an output directory. If you leave the output directory box empty, the output files will be put in the same directory as the
  input files are in.

- Press the 'Go' button.

- Note that all that WavPack frontend does is create and launch a batch file. This is done on the moment you press the 'Go' button. So
  after that you can safely exit WavPack frontend.
